Mystic Radiance

__FORCETOC__
== Appearance ==
In her everyday life, Aeryn Rime is a plain teen with brown eyes, blonde hair, and a boring -- bordering on frumpy -- wardrobe. They wear large round glasses and has freckles. 
On the other hand, Mystic Radiance is a beautiful teen with glitter freckles, white hair, and purple eyes. Their magical girl outfit is purple, glittery, and frilly. They're impossible to miss. 
== Powers ==
The Shining Guardians have a set of five powers: legendary magic, athletic perfection, mystical beauty, and flight. Mystic Radiance unlocked the final two in Season 9. Untransformed, they only have access to the athletic perfection and is learning to access their magic.
Mystic Radiance's magic manifests as sparkly purple energy, and is called upon by magic spells like "Glitter Beam Attack" and "Shining Shield Melody." 
== Background ==
=== Pre-Big Team ===
At the age of 8, Aeryn and their family moved to Halcyon. Aeryn and their twin became good friends with Hal and their twin. Those were two years that Aeryn looks back on very fondly.
At the age of 10, Aeryn was Chosen to be the next in the line of the Shining Guardians. Ethereal Brilliance, the then-current legacy member, took them away to Aurora Bay, California, to train. At the age of 12, they achieved their first transformation, and became was Ethereal Brilliance's sidekick. They weren't very confident heroing without Ethereal Brilliance telling them what to do.
As supplemental training, Aeryn took gymnastics and ballet, among other things. They was forced to quit both when it seemed like they were getting too attached, thus could get in the way of the Mission.
Last summer, Ethereal Brilliance and Mystic Radiance had a huge fight with the Dire’s generals. Mystic Radiance got captured or incapacitated, and in order to save them, Ethereal Brilliance had to unleash a lot of power. This has left Ethereal Brilliance with almost no power left, and thus cannot be an active hero anymore. She’s very upset by this, and Mystic Radiance has a lingering sense of guilt about it. The generals were defeated, but at least one escaped and moved on to Halcyon. Ethereal Brilliance and Mystic Radiance moved to Halcyon to follow them. 
== The Shining Guardians and The Dire ==
There are five widely known Shining Guardians, though they have been around for far longer. Their only mission is to fight the Dire. They're very secretive, hiding behind their sparkly public personas. The first of the legacy to be public is the one from Florida Incident (where the Dire enveloped all of Florida in the 1940s, and she saved it singlehandedly). Keeping a secret civilian identity is very important, for the usual safety reasons. The Dire wouldn’t hesitate to attack them while untransformed or go after family and friends. 
The Dire is an amorphous shadowy being that influences people’s emotions and then feeds on their negative energy. Think literally any Sailor Moon villain (at least from the manga, I haven’t watched any of the show since I was a kid). Its goal is to suck the planet dry of energy, and superpowered emotions taste especially good. Since the Florida Incident, it has been trapped in an empty dimension by itself and must act through its Generals. Through them, it can exert some power over B-Verse. It is also the source of the generals’ power. There isn’t any real gray area with this one, it wants to destroy the world. 
There are usually 2-3 generals at a time. They can be constructs made by Dire or real people infected (willingly or unwillingly) by it. The Generals are nega-magical girls who enact the Dire’s plans and work to free him. Right now, their main goal is to release it, but energy harvesting is also important to feed it. Thus far, Mystic Radiance has encountered one, who has poison powers and goes by Toxic Omen. 
== Relationships ==
=== Family ===
Aeryn sure does have parents. The heavenly beings who are in charge of figuring out their deal have been slacking. 
Randi Rime: sister 
Aeryn has a fraternal twin sister, who they was very close to before they went off to train. Over the years, they wrote Randi a lot of postcards, but never received any back...
=== Friends ===
Ethereal Brilliance has told Aeryn that having friends is dangerous, both to them, and are a dangerous distraction from the mission.
