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

[ Ayla Rosales is 12 when Mother's Day stops hurting.

Ayla Rosales is 14 when her birthday stops hurting.

Ayla Rosales is 18 now. Graduation lurks. Her father is away, again, and graduation pictures need to be taken for the yearbook. "Get a picture with your parents!" the yearbook advertises.

Nana and grandpa offer, of course. And Ayla is happy to have them in the picture. Her father even surprises her when he gets there at the photoshoot at the last second, hurrying to get a photo with his children.

But someone is missing.

It feels awful and hollow, holding up a picture of her mother from a decade prior. It feels wrong, she's hurting, she's sad, she's angry, why can't anyone else understand, why won't the understand, why is everyone just okay with this now, why -

…

And in the present, she’s crying again, hiccupping little sobs. Her head hurts. Her heart hurts. She doesn’t want to admit this.

There it is, there it is. You just want them back, don't you?

Luna nods, despite herself, and something weasels its way into her heart. Her transformation flickers for a moment –

- and then something resonates from somewhere else. Magic…?

Someone is…calling her…?

Luna’s eyes flutter open and someone is there in the distance, frilly and radiant and desperate for her hand, calling for her. Tears brimming, Luna reaches back – and feels her arm lock up, the threads around her yanking it back. Luna yelps in alarm, eyes wide – but before she can even warn Eupheme away, Luna’s vision goes dark and her head lulls, something forcing her into unconsciousness.

Like a puppet with its strings cut, Luna hangs there – and then there’s the sound of laughter coming out of her mouth. But it’s not her voice. ]

Now why would I give up such a valuable treasure like this?

[ The threads rescind but the dark energy remains, being drawn into Luna – or whatever the hell is currently piloting her. Soon enough, they’re back in the café and this not-Luna regards her with dark eyes and a cruel smirk. If it’s surprised by Anika’s transformation into Eupheme, it certainly isn’t showing it. ]

If you want her back, you’ll have to do better than that.
