Name: Yukigami Tomoko (幸神 智子)
Age: 14
Year: First
Alias: Melee
Height: 5'1" (154cm)
Weight: 103lbs (47kg)
Element: Magic
Personality:
Tomoko is fascinated by Magical Girls' magic. Ever since her first transformation she has doing her personal researches on how to combine different girls' abilities to get an even stronger – or flashier – result.
When she is not currently elaborating a new idea, she is generally out, talking to other magical girls about their powers, trying to come up with new ideas based on the information she gathers. This has lead to her making new friends very fast.
She is very talkative, so if she is not stopped, any conversation with her will normally end with her bombarding you with questions and barely giving you time to answer them. She always keeps her little notebook with her, where she writes down every little piece of information she can find. Don't be mad if she pulls it out mid-conversation, something you said probably just gave her another great idea.
She is always cheerful – to a point where some people get annoyed about it. The one and only thing that can let her down (at least of everything that's happened to her so far) is a failed idea. Depending on how excited she was for it, this can lead to her being salty for a couple of hours to a whole week. Luckily it doesn't happen all too often that one of her ideas won't work.
Oh, and just as a little side note: don't talk about her height. Never.
Bio:
"I did it! I did it!" Tomoko smiled as she watched her excited younger self dance around the small campfire it had just created. It had been her very first successful experiment, creating a fire with her magic – the, as she later found out, least investigated element of all. Ever since then, she had dedicated most of her time to her personal research and experiments. She could still remember the blissful state of mind she had been in back then, and even now it struck her from time to time when she created a new technique to use her otherwise really boring magic for.
Looking back, it had of course been one of the easiest elements to start with. She had long since realized, that creating heat with magic was a pretty easy task, even for a non-natural user, especially if she didn't need to create the flames herself and could just light something on fire. But it had been the first thing she managed to do herself, and she was proud of that.
It had taken some time until she had realized, that the amounts of other elements she could conduct with 'magic', were on a scale too low to ever be really useful. That was when started investigating other magical girl's abilities, and trying to come up with ways to combine them. Ever since then, she had been a sort of strategist, making the most use possible out of the huge variety of MG abilities out there.
She turned off the TV and put the dvd back into the folder she took it from. When she had received the letter from the EMGA, she had felt the urge to rewatch this video. She didn't quite know why, herself.
Being accepted there gave her the best chances she would ever get – at least at her current age – to chase her hobby and dream. An academy, completely dedicated for the education of magical girls and many many girls to talk to and finally try all her ideas out. Most of her experiments were dangerous – not for the people trying them, but for the surroundings – and she hoped that the school and the people there would finally give her what she needed – partners.
A huge smile formed on her face, when the realization hit her yet again. She was accepted! Just like her younger self a minute ago, she was now dancing through the room, singing a little victory melody that her father had made for her when she asked him. This was definitely going to be fun.
Some details on her circumstances: She is an only child, both her parents are alive and well, they make an average amount of money, they are never no drama here whatsoever. Her mother was one of the few females in her family that wasn't a magical girl.
Though Tomoko always had many friends, none of them were ever really close friends, but that didn't bother her too much – to be honest, she never thought about it. Her parents are a little sad about that, but she doesn't understand their concern.

Binding:
User binds her opponents limbs with weak rings of magic, making them unable to move. With no resistance this spell can basically be channeled infinitely, the more the target is struggling, the faster it breaks.
Blinding:
User creates a flash of magic light in front of her opponent's eyes, dazzling them and weakening their sense of orientation.
Deceive:
User creates an exact image of herself that can be controlled by will.
Medium
Analyse:
User channels magic inside herself, enabling her to quickly analyse what element the opponent is using and what type of attack he is currently channeling.
Magic Shield:
User creates a shield of magic, that can reflect projectiles. The stronger the projectile, the more power is needed.
Magic Beam:
User fires a beam of magic, that can be casted from a wide spread punch, to a single line high-pierce shot.
Major:
Enhance:
User channels magic inside herself, increasing her reflexes and speed drastically.
Daggers o' Magic:
User creates two magical daggers with a blade length of 12 inches (30cm), that are sharp enough to cut through steel. Effect on living beings can be changed by will, either it cuts normally, or it applies the effect as if it had been a cut, without actually applying any wounds. (e.g. a cut through the right shoulder would make someone unable to use their right arm) This effect lasts two minutes.
Additional stuff: All her abilities, except the magic beam, are used to either grant the chance for or use in close combat. Tomoko's not the type to fire from a safe long range.
