Name: Amina 'Ami' Hergrove
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Orientation: Unsure
School and Grade: Peridith Girl's Academy; Eighth Grade
Race: Corrupted Magical Girl (newly turned)
Amulet: A pink
flower amulet. It's known as the 'Flower of Aphrodite' and is supposed to represent love, beauty, and transformation
Wish: 'I want to be able help my friend', which gradually distorted into 'I want all their attention! I want to be the most popular!'
Power: Ami can draw the attention of everyone within a ten meter radius (twelve, if she strains) to herself and, upon drawing their attention, charm them into doing exactly one thing she orders them to. The effect wears off either until Ami stops concentrating or naturally, by itself, after a few moments. She also has what she calls
observational skills, which is that Ami can 'see' everything around herself, without physically setting eyes on that area. That is, if she was standing in a city area, she can 'see' -or have a sense of- all the buildings and people around her. It's not as if she has enhanced eyesight or anything, however, which means that she can only sense what she would be physically seeing if she turns around. The last thing that Ami can do is sense intentions; she can look at a person (it has to be directly, though, and not with her observational skill), and sense what they intend to do, whether it's something they're only going to do years later, or if it's something they intend to do immediately. This extends to their goals and hopes as well -applied to other magical girls, this means that Ami can get a vague sense of their wish.
Appearance:
Personality: Bright and perky, Ami is entirely different from how she was before becoming a magical girl. She's outgoing and enthusiastic about things, usually exulting a cheerful exuberance for everything and anything. Outwardly, she appears to be a sweet, optimistic girl -always helping others out and settling conflicts with naught but words- and Ami works hard to maintain that image. She's extraordinarily conscious of how other people view her, and will do anything to keep up the illusion that she's a good, perfect girl. Deep down, Ami is a rather twisted, scheming little thing. She's cunning, with a sharp wit, and harshly critical of everyone else around her, although that's not something she ever says out-loud. Ami can be said to be self-absorbed, and extremely selfish. She is fiercely possessive, subtly staking her claim on things and seeking revenge on everyone that dare touch what she considers 'hers'. More than anything else, Ami loves being loved, and can get meanly bitter if she's not the center of attention. In the end, though, Ami just has something of a complex about how people look at her. If it had been proven to her that people would still like her even if she wasn't perfect -despite her rather bratty, critical true personality- perhaps Ami wouldn't have become the way she was.
History: Ami used to be a bullied girl. No one ever hit her or physically harmed her -no, she was simply pushed away by the people around her and ignored, her personality being as it was. As it was, Ami spent much of her life alone. At home, her younger sister would chatter -innocently- about her school and friends and, seeing how their parents constantly praised her sister for her popularity and ignored her, Ami came to hate her personality.
Years past, with Ami's self confidence dropping more and more, and then -miracles of miracles- she made a friend. It was tentative, at first, a simple 'Would you like to eat with me?', and progressed to a fast friendship. Ami's friend was a shy, stuttering girl, herself not exactly the epitome of popularity, and they grew extremely close. And then one day, Ami found out that her friend was being bullied, worse than anything she had ever experienced herself. She wanted to help her friend -she really did- but Ami herself never dared to approach the bullies. She wished, deeply, that she could have the strength to help her friend. That she could have the charm to pull in everyone's attention, rally the people against the bullies, and be able to watch her friend's back, that things might never get that bad again. Ami blamed herself, see. If she had been able to sense the bullies' intentions, if she had watched her friend closer, maybe the other girl might never have been bullied.
Ami got her wish granted when she met with her Guardian one night, who offered to grant Ami's wish in exchange for her becoming a magical girl. Ami agreed almost immediately, without even thinking things through properly. She became a magical girl, and solved her friend's problems. For a while, she used her powers for good, helping others stop their bullies and integrate them into life with friends that would stand by their side, as well as taking out monsters whenever she needed to. And then Ami got
too used to the powers. She begun to need it, need the attention she received by helping others out. It was a downward spiral from there on, and eventually Ami became the way is currently is -hungry for attention, for people to like her, and willing to do anything for it. A Desdra took notice, offering to give Ami all the attention and adoration that she craved, if only Ami went against the magical girls and took the side of despair instead. Naturally, Ami agreed.
Name: Letitia Evea Woodsman
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bisexual
School and Grade: Harolt High | Tenth Grade
Race: Magical Girl
Amulet: A
red amulet that she always wears as a necklace
Wish: 'Please, just let me meet her one more time'
Power: Letitia can see the past. She can look at a person and unravel their entire life story -although doing that takes far too much energy. Most of the time, Letitia has to pick a specific time in a person's past (example: Mary, age 21, at the beginning of Spring). The more specific the less energy she has to use, and the quicker she can see the past. And, from a person's past, Letitia can pick out specific memories -particularly those that are prominently something a person loves or hates- and send it into a sort of 'rewind' mode, where someone is forced to go through those same memories over and over. Usually, unless a person is sleeping, the memories will just linger at the edge, and a person can ignore them entirely -if their will is strong enough, and if they know to avoid it. If someone is sleeping and Letitia rewinds memories, that person will experience it in a dream until their wake up. Similarly, she can show a particular portion of the past -any past, as long as she's seen it before herself- to people, whether they were part of it or not -like a illusion, really. Apart from that, Letitia can also pick up 'past residue' on objects or places. For example, if the public library has a certain -either very extreme (such as murder), very odd (such as someone riding a bright red bicycle blasting nursery rhymes through it) or very important (maybe an essential meeting once took place there between governors)- scene tied to it, Letitia can sense its presence and also unravel its happenings -i.e. she can feel that the place has something, and can see what happened.
Appearance:
Personality: Calm and collected, Letitia is just about the very essence of still water. There's nothing that shows on the surface, but you never know what's lurking below. As it is, Letitia doesn't do it on purpose or anything like that; she just isn't someone that shows their feelings outwardly. Most of the time, Letitia will simply choose the option that requires the less energy. Which is to say, if she can see that someone wants her to choose Option A, she'll totally choose Option A, if only to appease them and save herself the trouble. As a result of this, she usually prefers to work alone, because spending all your time simply letting others do what they want can get rather exhausting at times. Letitia can, actually, read people very well. She's good at discerning their true personalities and such, and usually adjusts herself to cater to their needs. Being a very passive sort of person, Letitia will stop and think things through before taking action -and she can take action, too, because Letitia has been learning various forms of martial arts since young. She just chooses not to. Although Letitia usually has a seemingly infinitely amount of patience, get her angry and she can be a right demon. She turns cold, cruel, and callous, and her words can be absolutely scathing. Letitia is usually nice enough, though she tends to keep the deepest secrets firmly to herself, never sharing them with anyone, even if she really should. She also doesn't let people in easily, and will try to take everything upon herself, carry it alone if possible.
History: Letitia comes from a big family with a long, grand history behind it. Her branch of the family excels in martial arts and fighting, and Letitia was brought up in that kind of environment. Her aunt was the only person that didn't condone forcing her into it, and rather wanted Letitia to do what she wanted to do. The rest of the family ignored her, however, and Letitia wasn't given a choice in the matter. As she was growing up, Letitia's parents and siblings were cold, distant figures. Her aunt was the only one to actually come close to her, and that aunt brought her up more than any of her parents did. When Letitia turned ten, however, the aunt moved away and Letitia never saw her again, though she wanted to dearly. Every time Letitia came close to asking for her contact information so as to give her a call, she found something 'more important' and forgot all about the matter.
Eventually, Letitia finally inquired about her aunt, only to find out that the other had died long ago, in a foreign land. The funeral had been done and over with, too -a small, quiet affair. Her aunt hadn't been liked in the family, but Letitia had loved her. She mourned after that, wishing that she'd asked for the information a long time ago, and that she could see her aunt one last time. At night, as she was staring out her window, a strange creature approached her, flying in from the night sky. It claimed that it would grant her wish if Letitia became a magical girl. Letitia refused to believe in it at first, but the creature refused to leave, and instead spent an hour convincing her. Finally deciding that playing along wouldn't hurt, Letitia agreed, only to find that she could -in fact- see her aunt once again, in memories. Letitia began to fulfill her end of the bargain from then on.
