Name: Eileen Fang
Age: 33
Eileen was a friendless wallflower, obsessed with machines and robots and never got along with girls, or boys for that matter. Not until one day when she fell into the crossfire between a monster and the team of magical girls who saved her. The monster had been feeding on her low self-esteem, loneliness, and depression. Even though they were younger than her, they lifted her spirits and told her it was okay to be herself. With this new found resolve,
several episodes later, she would join them as a magical girl as well, having come into herself, allowing her love of machines and robots to manifest in magical, mechanical armor, making her the tankiest member of the team. Having helped save the world with power of magic, friendship, and science, she knew that they would be best friends forever.
But over the years, her special interests and obsessions became grating to her former allies, there was only so many times you can compare Wingdom season one with Wingdom season 2 before people got tired of you. She dreamed to one day invent the first rideable humanoid robot in America, but through the intervention of fate, despite her fairly stellar grades in the sciences, she never got accepted into any decent engineering schools. In the end, she settled for the local community college, taking an Associates Degree in electrical engineering. But there were no big companies hiring electrical engineers in the region, and she was never able to find a job outside of town. To this day, she lives with her parents, a '
fujoshi', obsessing over plastic models and soldering breadboards in her dad's garage, as an over-glorified repairwoman who does odd, dirty jobs around town. She still dreams of the glory days and despite the falling out that they'd had, if any of them approached her, she would grovelingly ingratiate herself to them, just to be friends again and relive the magic. Her parents badger her about settling down, but her life is such a wreck right now, and she has and always will be such a nerd/geek/dork along with the various unresolved anxieties and depressive tendencies, that the very thought of intimacy sends her into a cold sweat.
So my character's kind of a cross between Madoka Magica's first-timeline Homura and Watamote's Tomoko. I didn't expect there to be zero range in character ages so far (and all of them being the absolute lower limit), so I made mine a few years older. I also hope that the team's not being flooded by characters who do not have their own families and kids, since that's supposed to be part of the theme, though I am also guilty of this.
