Draco Centauros

Draco Centauros is a major character in the Puyo Puyo series. She is a human/dragon hybrid who claims to be Arle's rival.
==Appearance==
She is a green-haired humanoid girl with pointed ears and draconic traits such as horns, wings, fanged teeth, and a long tail. She is given reptile-like slit pupils in some art styles. In most games, she wears a red qipao (a traditional Chinese dress with high-split sides) over thin black pants that expose her ankles. She usually sports long white gloves, though some art opts to give her fingerless gloves instead.
Like many recurring Compile-era Puyo Puyo characters, details of Draco's design has been modified several times. One such trait is the size and color of Draco's wings. Most depictions of Draco prior to Sega assuming development duties give Draco large red wings. However, as part of her redesign in Puyo Puyo~n (which also sees her losing her black pants for more baggy wear), she is given small green wings. Puyo Puyo 7 gives her large brown wings, but her depiction in 20th Anniversary and beyond uses small green wings.
==Personality==
Draco is an energetic, loud, and vigorous young girl. She is highly competitive and is often looking for new rivals. Draco considers herself a powerful fighter, and while this is true, given that her AI in Puyo Puyo Tsu is relatively strong, her AI in present Sega games is notably weak.
Similar to Arle, Draco has a tomboyish attitude. This is best shown by her eating habits, where she often gets hungry and tries to eat other creatures such as Onion Pixie. However, unlike Arle, Draco doesn't look down on typical feminine interests.
Draco's most notable trait is her passion for beauty contests. Her biggest dream is to earn beauty pageant victory, so more often than not, she calls herself a "cute girl". Draco's love for contests is reflected in her speech, where she mixes up Puyo matches and beauty matches. She's also rather fond of making puns on beauty contests. This is shown in Puyo Puyo Chronicle where she says that the party is in the venue of "the beauty pageant's final round", much to Schezo's annoyance.
Draco is generally friendly to others, but also has a tendency to playfully tease people. Due to her carefree nature, she is rarely focused in a serious situation, and based on her interactions with Rulue and Schezo, she doesn't get along well with adults. Draco can also be quite mischievous, often getting herself into trouble be it accidentally or deliberately. Due to the above statements, Draco is often called out for being immature, much to her irritation.
Although she cares deeply about her goals, Draco rarely displays vanity or selfishness, unlike Rulue. While she is not above calling herself "pretty" or "cute", Draco tends to put other people before herself.

==Trivia==
* "Draco" is derivative of Latin Draco, meaning dragon.
* Draco is the only Madou Monogatari random encounter to serve as a protagonist in a mainline Puyo Puyo title.
* Draco does not fast drop her Puyo in Puyo Puyo 7, and her AI pattern does not change when Core AI is enabled.
** Draco does not rotate her Puyo in any game starting with Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary, regardless of Core AI or not. However, in Puyo Puyo Tetris, like O, she does rotate her Tetrominoes.
* Alternate voice notes:
** In Puyo Puyo Tetris, she has a high but slow voice.
*** In the English version, her tone becomes similar to that of her normal Japanese voice.
** In Puyo Puyo Chronicle, her voice becomes lower-pitched, and more reminiscent of herself in the Compile-era.
** In Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, she has a soft and high-pitched voice.
*** In the English version, most of her voice clips are borrowed from her English Alternate Voice in Puyo Puyo Tetris. In her few new voice clips, she sounds regal, almost queen-like.
* Draco's spell patterns take from all over the Puyo and Madou franchises as of Puyo 7, while her basic chains, fever entry, fever success, and Party recovery lines call back to Puyo Puyo SUN.
* Excepting deliberately altered states (Transformation, alternate voices), Draco is only character where all of the uniform 18 voices (player chain, enemy attack, character select, match results and Fever) have never been changed since her SEGA-era debut. She, Witch and Ecolo are only three characters that player chain voices (including their counter voices) have never been changed since their debut in the Sega-era.
