CMO FOR ANIKA QUINN/REGALIA EUPHEME

Anika Quinn is about as normal a teenage girl as they come. She's sixteen years old, goes to high school, gets okay grades – oh, and she's also a magical princess from a parallel magical world. But who's asking? As she eventually finds out from her new group of comrades, Anika is actually Regalia Eupheme, magical warrior and princess of the kingdom of Eupheme that fell when she was just a baby. Anika was sent to Earth with the kingdom's greatest treasure, the Regalia of Eupheme, to safeguard both it and her. And now it's time for her to take on the duty given to her and fight as Regalia Eupheme to protect her new home.

... just as soon as she actually figures out how this whole princess thing works, of course.

Cliffnotes & permissions for meme/cmo/whatever purposes below:

Anika IS:

• A sixteen year old cis girl, who's pretty average? Really? She's got a pretty face with long, light brown hair that reaches the small of her back. She's about 5'4'' and average build. Really, there's nothing wildly interesting about her regular appearance! As Regalia Eupheme, her hair turns powder blue and she's decked out in a frilly, fluffy magical girl outfit, in blue and white with gold accents (google 'hime lolita' for a general idea of the visual until i get my commission back LOL).
  
• From a "Japanafornia"-esque setting, so think something along the lines of the Western Ace Attorney localizations and you're golden.
  
• To the casual observer, she's human, but to those with fine tuned spiritual or magical senses, they'll be able to pick up that she's ???a container??? for a huge wellspring of magical energy, that happens to be shaped like a teenage girl. Also she's uh, a magical girl, if that's a thing that can be sensed?
  
• Constantly on the verge of falling into a giant pit of anxiety and impostor syndrome!! She's been plagued with the sense that something about her is "wrong" or "missing" since she was very young and does her best to cope with this by being cheerful, chirpy, friendly and always in good spirits. This is actually a little forced on her part, as can become obvious when she's not able to keep it up. Very much a people pleaser, and a bit of a doormat.
  
• Depending on her 'canon' point for any given thread, she may or may not be capable of transforming into Regalia Eupheme. When she is capable of doing so, she does so with the phrase "Eupheme Regalia Engage!", at which point she transforms pretty much instantly with a flash of light. I'M STILL WORKING OUT WHAT HER FINISHER IS SO GET BACK TO ME ON THAT. Since she's still working on this whole magical girl thing, her powerset mostly revolves around copying/piggybacking off the powers of other magical girls. She's hoping to develop her own powers eventually!!!
  
• Skilled at/knowledgable about everything the average person can reasonably be expected to be


Anika IS NOT:

• Genuinely cruel, actively malicious or mean-spirited to the average person
  
• Particularly skilled/experienced as a magical girl

1/2, cw parental death

[glimmeringmoonlight]

[ Ayla Rosales is 8 years old when her mother gets sick.

It's nothing serious. Just a case of pneumonia. Liliana Rosales bundles up in blankets and rests. Nana Lupe dotes over her daughter's condition, making sure to keep tabs on her. Ayla and her nana work in the kitchen, making Liliana's favorite foods that are easy on her sick stomach.

Liliana laughs when Ayla brings soup over. Places a hand to her head, gently tucks a lock of hair behind her ear. "Mija," she says simply, voice full of love. "No te preocupes! I'll be better before you know it."

And she smiles, bright as always, and lets her daughter hold her hand.

Her hand is warm.

…

A month later, Ayla Rosales sits numbly at the wake. She has cried so much, so many times. Her twin brother sits beside her, clasping her hand tight, shoulders shaking.

Nana says they don't have to view her.

They both want to.

She's just tall enough to see into the casket. Her mother wears a lovely dress, one of her favorites. She looks like she's sleeping. She looks like any minute now, she'll wake up and say "boo!" and scoop her up in a hug and laugh as Ayla squeals in delight.

But she doesn't.

Ayla reaches over to hold her mother's hand.

Her hand is cold.

…

In the present, Dreamchaser Luna whimpers. The countless threads have ensnared her, like a spider trapping its prey, and something’s dragging her farther in to the heart of this monster. Countless whispers sound out around her, like a haunting windchime, people whispering their own desires, the things they treasure most, what they want most in the whole wide world.

Luna fades in and out of consciousness. The monster whispers again, needling at her wishes, at her treasures.

Tell me the deepest desire in your heart, little dreamer. Even you have one, don’t you?

There is, and she knows it all too well. ]
