Born as Shirone, Koneko is a young Nekomata belonging to a rare subspecies known as the Nekoshou. She is the daughter of a human scientist and a Nekomata mother named Fujimai. Her father, who did not acknowledge her as his child, used her for experiments. Her parents eventually died in an experimental accident. However, her older sister, Kuroka, withheld the truth and other details about them from Koneko to protect her.
After losing their parents, Koneko and her sister were taken in by an unnamed Devil from the branch family of the House of Naberius, who reincarnated Kuroka as a member of his peerage. Kuroka's power as a Nekomata supposedly grew out of control, eventually causing her to kill her master and become a Stray Devil fleeing from pursuers. In reality, the master had planned to experiment on Koneko in his research on creating a Super Devil, prompting Kuroka to kill him to protect her younger sister.
Following the incident and the subsequent failed manhunt, the Devils sentenced Koneko to death to prevent another incident like Kuroka's. However, Sirzechs Lucifer, one of the Four Great Satans, protected her and placed her under the care of his sister, Rias. Due to the trauma of her sister's betrayal and the murder of her master, Koneko fell into a deep depression, which stripped her of nearly all her emotions until Rias helped her recover. Around that time, Rias gave Koneko her name and made her her servant.
Witnessing her sister supposedly lose control of her Nekomata power and kill her master traumatized Koneko, causing her to withdraw and lose most of her emotions. Consequently, Koneko originally had a quiet and cold personality, rarely showing feelings or emotions, even when speaking. Her serious personality is noted as a result of Rias's influence and contrasts with her sister's mischievous nature. She was also the only one in the group who did not initially get along with Issei, often insulting and rebuking him for his perverted nature, although she reveals that she respects him for never giving up and considers him a hard worker.
She shows the most concern for her comrades when they are in trouble, often lending her strength in fights. Koneko apparently has a problem with people calling her a midget (although the context of the phrase could be used to be called flat, as in bust size), as shown in her second battle against Freed Sellzen. This may stem from her insecurity about her own small body and bust size.
