THE MAGICAL ☆ GIRL (and boy) MEME

Ever wanted to be a magical girl? Or a magical boy, or magical enbie or – well, you get the picture. If you've ever dreamed about frilly outfits, flashy transformation sequences and fighting monsters with the power of friendship, then this is the meme for you!

As well as a magical warrior, you can also go ham and play around with the genre tropes to have your character as the cool and aloof love interest, the clueless best friend, or even a villain whose only apparent goal is to make sure everyone else is having a terrible day. Use this meme and the prompts below as a springboard to come up with your own mahou shoujo flavour adventure!

INSTRUCTIONS:
☆ Post a top level with your character's name and canon! In the body of the comment, include some information about your character as a magical warrior (or as a villain, monster, familiar, dopey civilian love interest, etc.; get creative with your character's role!). Even just a brief bit about their powers will do fine, as long as you don't leave a blank comment!
☆ Pick or RNG a prompt, or just ignore them entirely and do your own thing, and tag out!

☆ BECOME MAGIC
1. Destiny called. It was nothing you did or didn't do: it's just that you were fated to be a magical girl from the start.
2. The cycle of reincarnation. In a past life, you were a god or goddess--or perhaps a legendary heroine. In this life, you take on their powers as a magical girl.
3. Make a wish. You gained your powers, and with them the duty to fight, after you made a wish. Was it worth it?
4. Chosen by the powers that be. Something powerful chose you to represent it in magical battle: an element, a god, an alien from another dimension. You'd better live up to your patron.
5. Wildcard. Any of the above, or your own option!


☆ WHAT'S YOUR MAGIC?
1. The elements (etcetera). You represent an element, or a sign of the Zodiac, or a planet or star, or a gemstone, and your powers are based on that.
2. Your power comes from within. Becoming a magical girl merely enhanced some ability you already had to a superhuman degree.
3. Summoning style. Your power comes from without: you summon greater forces to fight for you, whatever they may be.
4. Weapons of magical destruction. When you transform, you're gifted with amazing magical weapons--be creative with just what this may mean!
5. Wildcard. Any of the above, or your own option!


☆ PUT YOUR MAGIC TO WORK
1. The beginning. You've just become (or found out that you are) a magical girl. How do you react?
2. A secret revealed. You're supposed to hide your powers from the normal people in your lives, but you've tripped up and been caught. What do you do now?
3. Fight on! You're facing an enemy who can only be defeated through your magical powers. Good thing you've got your fellow magical girls to help you out.
4. A truth discovered. Some new aspect of being a magical girl has just come to light, and you weren't told about it beforehand. This can be something horrifying, or it can merely be surprising.
5. A new friend or partner? You didn't know it, but you're not the only magical girl around! Who's this newcomer, and how will you two get along?
6. Rivals clashing. You and the other magical girl, the town's not big enough for both of you. Or is it? Will you fight forever, or can one of you befriend the other?
7. A hero to the rescue. Your dearest friend or partner (or maybe just an unlucky stranger!) is in danger, and they need you to really shine as a magical girl to save them.
8. Questioning destiny. You've gotten really sick of being a magical girl, for whatever reason. What are you going to do about it, and will your friends be able to console you?
9. Wildcard. Any of the above, or make up your own scenario!
