Might as well post her ref sheet here too, here's my magical girl OC/former sona! For context she originated when me and my irl best friend came up with a parody of magical girl animes but with characters inspired by ourselves and our friend group (which is why she has such an unserious name she's literally just called Cake lmao). Eventually I grew so attached to Keki, and to the other characters' designs, that I decided to treat them more like OCs and started taking their lore more seriously.
Her story isn't very fleshed out, especially because she has technically two stories and I can't decide which I like best. The first is a story about a magical girl academy, the second is about Keki (and other girls) being university students who are recruited to be magical girls by basically a magical fairy godmother woman in an otherwise mundane and normal world.
The lore about the magical girls themselves is more or less the same in the two stories though, especially when it comes to Keki so I'll explain some stuff here. First the charms, they're the items magical girls use to transform. I called them that because, when they're not being used, the magical girls carry them around as charms lol. Keki carries hers as a keychain charm, for example. The designs vary slightly from girl to girl but they're all different shaped and coloured bows with the same golden box thing in the centre (I've actually designed so many charms now, and a lot of them don't even have magical girls to own them, but they're just so fun to come up with lmao)
In the lore, each magical girl has a signature power known as their magical gift. Keki's is Catharsis, meaning basically the strength and power of her attacks are directly proportional to the intensity of her emotions. She's a very emotional person by nature, so she's a relatively powerful magical girl, although her power level fluctuates because of this. She also has the side effect of being able to sense and read other people's emotions. It's not mind reading, but no one can bullshit her into thinking they're fine if they're in a bad mood lmao
Her weapon is pretty straightforward, it's a bow and arrow to go with her cupid theme. The design is not final, I may get rid of the red ribbon but whatever.
The Charm Mark is basically just a mark that appears somewhere on a magical girl's body once she becomes one and "unlocks" her magical abilities. It's just a sign that she has magic now. The location and appearance varies from person to person, in Keki's case it's in the centre of her chest. Oh and people without magic can't see the marks. Here are the ones I've designed already, like I said they all look different but the marks all have swirls incorporated in their designs
I think that's about it for lore explanations, I may explain more things about the magical world in the future especially since there are more characters but for now I leave you with this. Maybe I'll also post some of the other magical girl characters, Keki's friends and teammates if people are interested but we'll see. Also if you have any questions please send them my way
