Human emotions are one of the things that makes people who they are. While many animals can feel emotions and experience emotional thought, human beings are among those most capable of expressing these feelings.
Indeed, this sort of expression is intrinsic to human nature.
Happiness. Comfort. Kindness. Love.
Positive human emotions are only one side of the coin, however.
A student stresses out over her upcoming test. A salaryman resents his boss. A young couple has a fight that, even for a moment, they're scared that they'll never recover from.
Fears. Stress. Frustration. Anger.
Negative human emotions that coalesce like shadows in dark places.
Certainly, they are a part of what makes someone a human being, but in concentrated numbers they can become something far darker.
Shades form of negative human emotions, composed of darkness. At their weakest they can drain the energy from people and cause them to become increasingly depressed and beaten down by their mere existence. The stronger they get, the more capable of causing real physical harm they become.
They can even kill someone.
Composed of negative energies, it isn't possible to harm a Shade with conventional weaponry.
But that's why magical girls exist.
Sought out from young girls with high potential by fairies, magical girls are capable of destroying Shades, dispelling the energies composing their bodies permanently. These girls are capable of defending the world from the destructive influence of Shades.
But in a large city, like Tokyo, the sheer number of human beings populating it results in negative emotions building up at a high rate, producing dangerous Shades far more quickly.
And so, that's why such a city needs plenty of magical girls to keep these monsters in check.
And in Tokyo, there is a certain group of these magical girls.
This is their story.
The abilities of magical girls come from a conceptual source of power. That is, each magical girl has their own Concept as a source of power. For example, a Magical Girl with the Concept of a fairytale as their source of power would have abilities based on that fairytale. Concepts can range wildly, from weapons to events to stories to nearly anything in history.
But this is not the end of the powers of a magical girl.
All magical girls wield some sort of item, be it a tool or a weapon or something else entirely. This item is their Archetype, something from stories or myths that grants them further powers, something related to their concept. A girl whose Concept is Cinderella could perhaps have the Pumpkin Carriage as her Archetype. However, when a girl first becomes a magical girl, they will not be aware of their Archetype. They must figure out what their Archetype's nature is on their own. This will unlock their most powerful abilities.
The Power of a magical girl's Concept and Archetype are influenced by a variety of factors. Age and fame are strong influences, but so to is the imagination inspired by them. This allows for more recent concepts, such as Wonderland, to be quite powerful in their own right.
The powers exhibited by magical girls are vast and broad. Some are straightforward, whereas some are more strange and difficult to use.
