Name: 椎名真美子 (Mamiko Shiina)

Magical Girl Title: The Pink Delinquent

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance:
She wears her uniform on school days and rarely changes into anything else for casual activity. When she is off school, she usually wears a pink and grey blazer and a grey skirt, unless it is during the winter, when she wears a blue winter coat and black pants.

Magical Girl Appearance:
As with most magical girls, Shiina's clothes change, shifting into a pink dress. Shinna is somewhat unique in that she is physically changed when she transforms, as her eye color becomes red while transformed,

Personality: A highly driven young girl, Shiina strives to be the best she can possibly be. She constantly pushes herself to try new activities, learn new skills, and convince her friends to do they're best. She looks to the future with a bright hope in her eyes, and does everything in her power to make sure the people around her don't miss out on anything they might regret. This has resulted in her getting suspended on numerous occasions for pulling pranks on the student body and faculty, and she skipped school multiple times in order to hang out with her friends and go to a restaurant, or take the train to hang out at Shinjuku or Akihabara... Let's just say, she is far from a good student, and her grades clearly reflect it. But it's not her fault, there's just so much more interesting stuff to do! She hates indecisiveness, and usually just drags people with her before they are able to say no to whatever she is requesting them to do.

Shiina is actually like this because of an incident that occurred when shes was 9 - A fairy came to her and offered to ignite her heart, but Shiina was just too much of a coward to agree, worried about the dangers that come with being a magical girl. As such, the fairy left, and Shiina wallowed in self-hate that a lifetime opportunity passed her by. She felt so defeated, in fact, that she cut off her long flowing hair, leaving it short. She has kept the same style to this day, but decided that striving to improve oneself is far better than remaining a pathetic person that hates themselves. Shiina hates despair above all else - if a friend is feeling it's cold fingers, she'll do anything to cheer them up, from motivational speeches and presents, to threatening the thing causing those feelings.

Shiina is the least formal person out there, and her Kaa-san can't count the number of times that she pissed off a teacher by referring to them with their first name. Sometimes, people wonder if she even knows what a last name is for... Additionally, she prefers to do things that require great skill or trial-and-error, constantly throwing herself at challenges headfirst until she either succeeds, or (more likely than not) gets bored.

The most jarring thing about Shiina, however, is how bloodthirsty she is towards Negari. Hell, her main technique is to grab them, and squish them in her ribbons until they burst...

Skills: Shiina is, surprisingly, amazing at persuasion, and her charisma is off the charts. This is most likely because she is constantly talking to people and getting them to do stupid stuff like skip class or jump off bridges into rivers. Shiina is also a 'jack of all trades' in that she is slightly better in everything - that's what happens when you try to do a new thing every day! Shiina is also great at taunts, and while other's do not consider this a skill, she tries to make puns when she can to lighten the mood. Shiina's most impressive skill, however, is her iron will. She will keep doing something until she can succeed, and putting her mind towards something will make her a force to be reckoned with! This combined with her charisma make her amazing at speeches. Unfortunately, her intelligence is below average, and she is no more physically powerful than the average 14 year old girl.

Abilities: Unlike other magical girls, Shiina does not grow stronger or faster with her transformation. Her durability increases slightly, and her reactions improve significantly, but her main power is the ability to move ribbons using her mind. She can only manipulate a maximum of 3 at the moment, and all three are worn on her outfit. Her power can cause the ribbons to change density and maneuverability, and they can move at blinding speeds. They can even grow to longer lengths and grow wider, up to a maximum range of 50 feet and 10 feet wide! Sharpness can be altered, to a degree, but is nowhere near as manipulable as other properties. They are not indestructible, but are far more durable than average ribbons, and regenerate given enough magical energy, which is a good thing considering Shiina doesn't really have the money to replace them each time a Negari rips through them.

She knows three techniques:
Gleipnir Restraint, her signature move, tightly binds a Negari until they are unable to move (But can still break through if strong enough). Variations include crushing the opponents rather than merely restraining them, but this is more tiring.

Cloth Coat, a defensive move, surrounds the ribbons around a target, shielding them from damage (As with Gleipnir Restraint, the shield can be broken with enough power).

Finally, Striped Shuttle pushes the ribbons against the ground with great force, launching Shiina up to 5 stories in the air (Cloth Coat must be used before landing in order to prevent broken bones).

Weapon(s): Most of the time, ribbons are merely an accessory used to look cuter. But for Shiina, they are a truly powerful weapon!...and make her look super cute. Using her magical girl powers, she can animate the ribbons to do a number of tasks, and cause them to go from soft and maneuverable, to rigid and harder than steel. Ogata has suggested, on numerous occasions, to use the ribbons as a form of labor so they can lounge around all day while the ribbons do the work.

The ribbons are essential to most of Shiina's maneuvers and attacks, and losing them would be detrimental to her. Their are 3 in total, 2 black and 1 red/pink striped.

Brief History: Born to a middle class family in Tokyo, Shiina was a shy, feminine young girl who sought to help her single mother, Mamiko Ririko. Shiina's father ran away when he was told that Ririko was pregnant, and he seemingly moved to another country, with no records. Kaa-san was never very upset though. She always said things like "Well, he gave me you, so he isn't all bad." or "Don't be too bad or I'll send ya to live with your father!" But raising a young girl is hard when you're a single mom, so they were forced to live in a... poorer neighborhood. Crime was never a problem, though, and the neighbors were all very nice. All in all, Shiina lived a normal life and was never faced with trouble or too much adversity.

But that's what made it a living hell.

Every day was exactly the same; Wake up, eat breakfast, go to school, eat lunch, walk home, watch TV for hours until kaa-san came home, eat dinner, and go to sleep. Wake up, eat breakfast, go to school, eat lunch, walk home, watch TV for hours until kaa-san came home, eat dinner, and go to sleep. Wake up, eat breakfast, go to school, eat lunch, walk home, watch TV for hours until kaa-san came home, eat dinner, and go to sleep. Wake up, eat breakfast, go to school, eat lunch, walk home, watch TV for hours until kaa-san came home, eat dinner, and go to sleep...

It got to the point where Shiina could barely tell the days apart, and had to obsessively check the date to make sure time was passing at all. Nothing was special, everything was routine, and it was an inescapable pit of boring endlessness. That is, until she was greeted by a fairy on her way home from school. You could imagine the surprise when shy little 9-year old Shiina was asked to become a magical girl! But Shinna was frozen. She couldn't respond to anything this crazy... Hell, she didn't even know if it was real, or just her brain making hallucinations out of sensory deprivation. In the end, Shiina silently turned on her heel, and ran from the small floating woman. After the incident, Shiina was inconsolable. She was a coward who begged for change to her monotone life, but when a lifetime opportunity presented itself, she ended up running out of fear! Shiina slowly fell into a depression, withdrawing from friends and her mother.

It wasn't until she saw magical girls on the news fighting the Negari that she realized it - She should be looking to the future, not letting the what if's, should-have's, and if-only's drag her down. The very next day, on her way home from school, she cut her waist length hair. It felt liberating, her head held high with barely anything dragging it down. Ever since then, she promised to herself to be the best she can be!

Shiina was well on her way of accomplishing this goal... until she saw a hand-sized woman, leaning against a wall. This woman turned to Shiina, speaking in a soft, uncaring voice

"I need a partner... anyways, blah, blah, igniting hearts, you want to be a Magical Girl or what?"

A look of determination filled Shiina's eyes as she whispered out a soft "Yes"

That was a few months ago, and now she is currently enrolled in East Umitori High School, Class 1-B.

Fairy Name: 緒方 (Ogata)

Fairy Appearance:

Fairy Personality: The true incarnation of sloth, Ogata simply can't find the energy to do most things, refusing to even fly by herself unless forced to. She is extremely submissive (or more likely uncaring) to Shiina and her shenanigans, simply sleeping in her bag or somewhere hidden. While Shiina believes she was given a second chance to become a magical girl, in actuality, Ogata was simply too lazy to find a good candidate, so she chose the first girl with potential that walked by - Shiina. Despite this uncaring demeanor, Ogata does care for Shiina, if only as a form of transportation and source of sweets.

Theme Song: Sismic Music - It can't come quickly enough

Name: Masako Imagawa
Magical Girl Title: Charging Cavalier
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance:



Magical Girl Appearance: Her outfit is the same as pictured above; resplendent white armour covering every inch of her, save for her face and the area around her skirt.

Personality: Masako is a bold and unabashed young woman. She has a penchant for acting flamboyantly whenever she pleases, and she is certainly pleased to act flamboyantly. In her opinion, a defender of justice ought to be a spectacle; they need to be seen and heard loudly and look damn good while doing so. Masako is prone to acting up in just short of any activity she engages in; in a fight, she’s going to want to finish her opponent with a graceful move, not a cheap trick. At school, she will write her essays in excessively purple prose and even make her mathematics assignment into a partial work of art. Few tasks are too small to be performed elegantly.

Should one be able to get beyond her peacock-like strutting, one will find that Masako is a perfectly sociable person. While she loves to show off, she doesn’t like to do it at anyone’s expense. She will not insult or diminish anyone; in fact, she doesn’t even like to do so with an opponent, for they ought to be treated with honour, no matter the circumstances. In spite of her ostentatious displays, Masako is not so petty as to try and supress others around her and is often keen to encourage others to show off their own talents. She doesn’t wish to throw anyone to the shade, but she absolutely will have her place in the sun.

Masako is also quite enamoured with French culture, and will often pepper her speech with gratuitous French words just to give herself some additional flair. If asked, Masako will claim she is indeed partially French, having inherited her flowing golden locks from her European heritage. However, this is in fact untrue; Masako has plain, gutter born American heritage to thank for her blonde hair, but is too ashamed to admit it, and while she doesn’t like to lie, this is the one lie she would like to maintain.

Skills: Masako had a fairly regimented upbringing; she wasn’t allowed to slack off and relax all day and instead was directed to self-improvement on a broad scale. While she is no physical specimen, she is well exercised and most assuredly fit. She is also a champion equestrian, having taken quite a liking to riding horses. She is also fluent in English and French, the former she was tutored in due to its uses, and the latter she learned on her own time simply because she wanted to.

Abilities: As a baseline, Masako gains a boost to her physical capabilities, though these are merely supplementary to her more versatile powers.

-Chantilly: Masako has the ability to call upon a white, magical horse for her to ride. The horse is blessed with exceptional speed and agility, being able to carry Masako around quickly and navigate around and over obstacles while allowing her to focus on attacking her enemy. The drawback to this ability is that the horse cannot go everywhere; any place that’s not built to allow a horse and rider to enter will be off limits. Masako took to calling the horse Chantilly after his pure white coat.

-Arsenal: This ability entails Masako being able to call upon copies of her signature spear (as depicted in her appearance) as need be. While the weapons are more than capable of use in close combat, Masako also tends to hurl them like javelins at her opponent. Additionally, when fighting from horseback, Masako uses her momentum to use her spear like a couched lance.

-Barrage: This one is related to Masako’s arsenal ability, but on a much grander scale. Masako essentially sends her power into overdrive, conjuring one spear after another, flinging them at a heightened speed. This is, naturally, one of her finishing moves.

-Sky Piercer: This one is simple yet powerful; Masako concentrates her magical power into one, single javelin toss, giving the resulting attack a great deal of force behind it as well as leaving a devastating sonic boom in its wake. This is, of course, her other finisher.

Weapon(s): Masako’s spear is the only weapon she needs.

Brief History: Masako is the child of a Zaibatsu family, and thus was naturally born to a great deal of wealth, but also the pressures of representing an important and respected group. This drove her not only to succeed, but to succeed with flair; to make herself stand out from the merely studious students and actually be something more. As a child, she also loved tales of romantic heroism; of heroes that not only saved the day but did so while being simply amazing. It was these two attitudes that culminated in her investment in the Magical Girl scene. To her, it was not simply the idea of them being heroes, but being heroes that acted with style and grace. It was everything she wanted to grow up to be.

Masako’s chief idol among the modern Magical Girls was one called La Cuirassier; a French Magical Girl who had gained popularity both in France and abroad. La Cuirassier was everything Masako hoped to be, both heroic and graceful in equal amounts, but her greatest impact on Masako’s youth was her ethos; she was a heroine that stressed the importance of treating people with dignity and respect, for if a Magical Girl could not do so, then she lacked a hero’s greatest quality. Had Masako not idolized her so specifically, she might have grown up to be an exceedingly snobbish woman, solely concerned with making herself look good. Due to La Cuirassier’s influence, Masako tended towards encouraging others to do better rather than mocking them for achieving less. Eventually, she got her chance to become a Magical Girl in the same style as her idol…

Fairy Name: Lutin
Fairy Appearance:



Fairy Personality: Lutin is a fairly serious fairy, preferring to get the job done quickly and efficiently. That is why she is often less than pleased with Masako, who would rather find a way to skewer her opponent with a significantly graceful flourish than finish them off simply. Although she will greatly bemoan Masako’s flamboyant tendencies, she knows she can at least rely on her to get the job done eventually, if not at the speed she would rather move at. Lutin is not a completely unfriendly fairy, but she has little tolerance for tomfoolery, and will refuse to engage with anyone that tests her patience.

Theme Song: Valkyrie Profile: To the last Drop of my Blood

Name: Shimura Akiko
Magical Girl Title: Valkyrie
Age: 14
Gender: Female


Magical Girl Appearance: When transformed Akiko wears a long midnight blue overcoat reaching mid calf over an orange dress reaching mid thigh. Bright orange stockings and platform shoes complete the look. The shoes act as a magical capacitor, allowing Akiko to trickle feed into them for her Effortless Bound, spreading the energy over time and allowing her to take less damage from further jumps at the cost of time.

Personality: Akiko is of a rash nature and very extroverted. She loves being the center of attention. Akiko relies on others’ validation as she has little to no true self esteem, yet she exudes false confidence. Even if she does desire to help others, that is almost always secondary to the validation a simple “Thank you” brings her. Her reliance on others can cause her to be fairly gullible, and she often regrets her choices upon reflection. Akiko always holds the door, and cries in solitude.

Skills:

• Detachment: Since becoming a magical girl, Akiko has learned to detach herself from the sensation of pain during battle. Currently it is only partial, but as Akiko gains more combat experience, she will get better at nullifying the pain caused by her abilities and inflicted by her enemies.
• Friendly: Akiko’s outgoing and charismatic nature enables her to easily make the acquaintance of unlikely allies.
• Independent: Though she greatly relies on others’ emotional support, Akiko knows how to take care of her physical and environmental needs.
• Intuitive: She is relatively “street smart”, and usually finds the obvious solution to a problem, if there is one.

Abilities:

• Lead Barrage: Akiko can imbue any firearm she holds with magical energy, causing it to empty the clip in a split second in most cases. Depending on clip size, requires more magical energy.
• Recall: She can pull ammunition back into a firearm, usually causing exit wounds and reloading her weapon. Energy cost depends on distance and integrity of the rounds. Takes longer and costs more if there are more rounds to reload.
• Effortless Bound: By sending magical energy through her feet into a surface, Akiko can leap extraordinary distances off of nearly any surface. This damages enemies depending on the force applied.
• Combat Focus: Unlike most magical girls, Akiko typically has human-range physical abilities. Instead, she can expend magical energy to apply moderate boosts to things like reaction time, agility, and strength.

Blue abilities work like any typical magical ability, expending only magical energy.
Orange abilities are much more dangerous, as Akiko sends rampant and uncontrolled magic through her body. In smaller doses, this simply causes physical pain, but if unchecked Akiko can easily come to harm or even die.

Weapon(s): Twin magical pistols, gunmetal black with a blue sheen to them. Similar to a mundane pistol, they can only fire 15 times apiece before being reloaded. Strangely enough, rather than having a clip, they function as ridiculously large revolvers.

Brief History:
When Akiko was just a child, her mother left her financially-dependent, alcoholic father with next to nothing. Shimura Tetsuya needed to seek rehabilitation, and left Akiko in his estranged father's care. A bumbling old man, Akiko’s grandfather was not the most attentive caretaker. She tried to take solace in her friends’ companionship, but always felt a bit isolated, even when surrounded by others. After Tetsuya exited rehab, he took up a couple part time jobs and bought the cheapest apartment he could find for two, and took Akiko back into his care. He often came home too worn out to properly take care of Akiko, so she had to learn to live on her own at a young age. She has trouble keeping her recently realized identity as a magical girl, especially due to the praise it's reveal would bring her.


Theme Song: TBD

Name: 水原 咲希, Mizuhara Saki
Magical Girl Title: "Amethyst Charm"
As a very recent inductee to the Magical Girl ranks, Saki hasn't really received a nickname or title that has caught on yet. Though "Amethyst Charm" is being passed around online.
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Magical Girl Appearance:

Personality:
Saki is naturally energetic, and though not necessarily outgoing, she is overflowing with a quiet cheer. Her youthful exuberance tends to infect others, especially when she smiles. Whether it's playing in the rain, going on long walks, or taking a few swings at the batting cages, she's always doing something and staying active. It's all too easy to get swept up in her pace.

Tireless diligence, no matter how enviable, only goes so far when it comes to relationships. Reaching out to others in a raw bid for human connection isn't easy sometimes. Her deafness has been persistent obstacle, and a wellspring of frustration and tears. However, rather than fighting it, she tries living with it and changing herself bit by bit.

Quick to feel joy and quick to forget grudges, she's a sweet girl that is just trying to find her way in the world.

Skills:
Amateur Technician - Years of watching her uncle work, and secretly tinkering with his tools and equipment, has made her fairly handy in diagnosing and repairing car problems (and a few other choice items). Her depth of knowledge is limited mainly to cars and motorbikes, particularly mechanical systems.
Sadly, her modest expertise does little to improve her non-existent driving skills.

Learned Hypersensitivity - While Saki's hearing is obviously impaired, her other senses are somewhat heightened. She's particularly attentive to things she can feel. With a bit of guesswork, she can sometimes distinguish the vibrations she feels, when people outside her field of vision are calling for her; it's more accurate when the speaker is particularly loud or very nearby, but it's all too easy to respond to false positives. It's also useful for noticing out when the air filter in her uncle's van is dirty; the engine has a distinctly different rumble.

Between her keen taste buds and sensitive nose, she has the makings of a fantastic cook. Her aunt is a excellent mentor such areas. It does, however, make her more susceptible to foul scents and be sickened by things others can easily ignore or simply don't notice.
As one could imagine, there's no mystery why the Mizuhara home is always fully stocked with an extra supply of specialty detergent and fabric softeners.

Lip Reading

Fast Fingers - Originally a skill she developed out of necessity, it has become an incredibly useful asset. She can type and text incredibly fast and with few to no errors. She knows the layout of keyboards and keypads well enough to use them even if they lack braille. If you need to send a message quickly or want to see sleight of hand tricks, Saki is one of the best. Don't trust her in a poker game though~

Abilities:

• Overchannel
  Bright, crackling arcs of magical energy radiate from Saki and enhance the abilities of any other magical girl within a few feet of her. Acting as a battery, she can channel her own magic into a willing recipient, allowing them to draw upon her own reservoir of power.
  Alternatively, the magic energy can be focused into an offensive cone of searing bolts, scouring any Negari caught in the shower of arcing energy.
• Bodge
  Whether it's a PC with a blue screen, a stalled car engine, or broken phone, sometimes all you need is a little love trap for things to start working again. With a simple touch, Saki can restore a broken or malfunctioning item to working condition for a short time. However, if the item leaves her possession or moves more than a few feet away from her, it reverts back to its former, broken condition within a minute.
• Fairy Signal
  Saki can magically enhance any mobile device to send a message to all fairies nearby. The content of the message is transmitted directly into the mind of any fairy who wishes to receive it, and it arrives in a way that is readily understood.
  She hasn't yet figured out how to tune the magic to message other magical girls directly, or how to send messages to a single person.

Weapon: Not for a lack of trying, she hasn't been able to manifest a weapon yet.

Brief History:
Raised by working class relatives in a rural seaside town, Saki grew up a quiet, well-mannered girl under her aunt and uncle's diligent care. Her father supposedly died during a mugging, and her mother disappeared shortly thereafter. Uncle Yuuma and his wife, Mirai, have been looking after her since then. In fact, Saki has been hanging around her uncle's car repair shop for as long as she can remember. The Mizuhara family owns the aged duplex apartment next door, which Saki affectionately calls "home".

Her childhood wasn't all roses. Saki wasn't always quiet. Nor was she very well-mannered. As her uncle mockingly recalls, she was a "whiny brat" once upon a time, but "got better".

Saki can't take all the blame though. A connective tissue disorder and frequent trips to the hospital will make any child cranky. The chronic infections and nerve damage ultimately lead to permanent, profound hearing loss by the time she was seven. Even with a hearing aid, voices and others sounds seemed indistinct and foreign to her.

A family may love each other dearly, but it won't stop them from trampling over each other's feelings and making countless mistakes. Years of speech therapy, angry tears, unresolved tension, and awkward moments followed.

But, as a testament to their strong characters, the Mizuhara never split up because of it. Any whisper or shadow of doubt that may have once caused them to consider it, has since been silenced. Everyone has their demons. A strong family shares the same one and works through it.

The steady procession of time marches on.

Having just graduated from middle school last year, she decided to prove, to both herself and her parents, that she could survive on her own by going to high school in the capital. With cell phone in hand, a few choice apps, and enough butterflies in her stomach to fill a stadium, she's resolved to move away to continue her studies.

Fairy Name: Shiawase or "Shia"
Fairy Appearance:

Fairy Personality:
Shia is a bit of strange one, and particularly known for her special brand of superstitions. She isn't crazy, but views the world through a very different lens. It's not uncommon to find her chanting archaic phrases backward while passing through a doorway, or reacting with sudden fascination or terror towards certain objects.

Despite reputation and first impressions, she is uncannily perceptive and surprisingly altruistic, caring little for personal gain. However, she possesses zero tact, interjecting whenever she pleases with whatever comes to mind. She has a functional understanding of things like cultural taboos, social cues, and personal space, but only respects them when it suits her. The occasional flashes of uncharacteristic wisdom or contextual clarity is what really catches others off-guard.

Aside from her mysterious quirks, she's typically an open and happy-go-lucky girl.
