### Personality

Despite being 15, Avvy is extremely immature, wacky, cheerful, hyperactive, optimistic, joyful, positive, childish, eccentric, and silly and cannot sit still for more than a nanosecond, so Dolores has to keep her in line. She commonly is extremely annoying, singsongs little kids' show songs, pisses others off and despite her well-meaning intentions and not upsetting others on purpose, is extremely naiive and oblivious to when others don't like her jokes. She likes laughing and making others laugh, and wants everycreature to be happy. Often, she is whiny, demanding, and pushy when she doesn't get her way or if somecreature doesn't agree with her even if they're right. However, she gets upset easily if somecreature makes any indication they don't like her and can become depressed quite easily. She matures over the course of *Rosie Magica*, despite still having occasional childish behavior, though she still is very cheerful.

Despite her immaturity, she is a bit more serious when necessary, is not afraid to call somecreature out for being a "meanie," and does care for her friends deeply, especially her best friend Dolores. She will try her best to help and support them and cheer them up any way she can despite often causing problems. She is very optimistic and happy, and cares for everycreature and always looks on the bright side. Noticeably, she is very fond of non-Pokémon clownfish and keeps a fishtank of them, has numerous clownfish toys, sleeps with a stuffed clownfish named Robert John MacFisher, and wears clownfish-patterned pajamas and clownfish slippers to bed and has clownfish-striped blankets and pillows.

Avvy also has a habit of faking her usual happy self when she is feeling down in order to not worry others, but Dolores can always see through this, and she is quite a crybaby who cries very easily, such as if somecreature becoming a witch is her fault or when she cried for 20 straight minutes after stubbing her foot. However, she will always regret it, apologize for her actions, and sincerely will try to make up for upsetting somecreature. She is shown to be quite a good cook and often cooks for the group, even cooking a huge meal to try and cheer up Blissany after she makes her wish to heal her depression.

### Etymology

* The kanji for her Japanese surname **Shinkai** mean "new" and "sea" while her Japanese name **Koemi** means "little laugh" or "little smile."

### Relationships

* Dolores Rivers: Avvy's best friend who studies in Yumesora with her. She is much more pessimistic and serious than Avvy and usually has to keep her in line when she goofs off or gets distracted, and is often annoyed by her immaturity. Dolores freely admits she is extremely annoying (only when she's out of earshot to not upset her), but still cares about her. Dolores is also the only one she refuses to harm as a witch, and after she is de-witched, they share a *very* heartwarming hug. In the series finale, they also live as roommmates due to duos generally living as roommates so they won't have to seek the other out and be caught in the wrong place if they have to transforn.
* Warm Snuggly: Avvy's Vulpix who she cherishes and is very close to. She also refuses to harm her as a witch, and like Dolores, she heartwarmingly hugs her, Giggles, and Mr. Colory after she is de-witched.
* Blissany Daisy: One of her friends, who still considers her a friend despite her being annoying. However, her immaturity has even caused a few characters to witch out, and she sometimes makes fun of her blind eye, much to Blissany's fury. Avvy does, however, decide to use her wish for Blissany's benefit instead of her own, and wishes to ease her extreme, borderline-suicidal depression from missing her mother.
* Lil' Cheese: Her other best friend. They often throw parties or make meals for the group together, with Avvy handling the cooking and "Cheesy" as she calls her handling the baking since she can't cook to save her flank.
* Natalie Storybook: Avvy gets along with Natalie well due to both of their optimistic natures in spite of the Magis' parents who are Magis being kidnapped, but she sometimes makes fun of her for her not being able to transform when she wants, much to her annoyance.

## Magical Abilities

As a magical girl, Avvy has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

Due to being a Water Elemental and her design basis being clownfish, she has the additional ability to breathe underwater unaided while transformed. She is also a Psychic Elemental, and is able to form squishy spheres of psychic energy that she can form into any shape she desires, such as (but not limited to) shields to absorb attacks or into projectiles. Avvy can create blurry flashes of psychic energy that cause confusion and dizziness. Her water-based powers allow her to summon a huge spray of bubbles to confuse an enemy or shoot exploding bubbles. When touched, the bubbles cause the enemy to burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. Her laughing can hypnotize enemies. She can also shoot non-Pokémon clownfish at the enemy as an attack and can even create a ginormous clownfish to crush the enemy.

Like Pinkie Pie, Avvy can also manipulate cartoon physics (*only* when it's funny, though - she can only do this in funny situations, and otherwise can't), which allow her to do feats such as break the 4th wall, comically extend her ears or neck to eavesdrop, fit into impossibly small spaces, teleport, pull items out of nowhere, and hear her name whenever it is spoken.

She is unable to transform without being with Dolores.

## Pokémon

* Normal Vulpix (nicknamed Warm Snuggly; partner Pokémon)
* Clamperl (nicknamed Giggles)
* Bruxish (nicknamed Mr. Colory)

## Dream Pixies

* Siren - A clownfish-like Dream Pixie who is colored orange. She is Avvy's first Dream Pixie and grants her a rattle.

## Magical Warrior

Avvy is the Warrior of Clownfish and Silliness; she is a Water/Psychic Elemental who represents the Elemental of Laughter and her theme color is orange. Her known weapons so far are an orange baby rattle which she can split in half to shoot bubbles, a light-up spinner wand used to perform her psychic attacks, and a fishing rod (which Dolores also has her own identical version of alongside her other weapons). In order to transform, she needs to be with her partner Dolores Rivers.

### Attacks

* Psycho Bubble Stream - Avvy's main purification finisher.
* Fish Forte - A stronger purification finisher she performs together with Dolores.

## Trivia

* It is confirmed her parents and Dolores's parents are alive and well, but they allow them to study in Yumesora, but make them contact them regularly and they come home every now and then.
* She and Dolores were inspired by Dory and Marlin from *Finding Nemo*, but with their personalities switched.
* In all dubs, her voice actress's dialogue is digitally pitched up.
* According to a made-up interview, Avvy does indeed have ADHD, which partially explains why she acts like an overgrown 5 year-old instead of a 15 year-old. However, it is also due to her natural personality as well.
* While she is aware her full name is Avigail, as a running gag she will pretend to be stupid and ask who Avigail is if somecreature such as Blissany addresses her as that (usually when angry).
* As another running gag, whenever somecreature mentions her when she's not present, she will suddenly inexplicably appear. She also does several cartoonish gags such as comically extending her neck to eavesdrop or her jaw literally dropping to the floor.
* Her witch form does not have a different name. She also looks the same as her normal self but with a darker color scheme, and can steal powers (even Kyubey's wish-granting ability). She even wishes for anti-Rosie spray which creates a magic barrier that Rosie cannot cross when it is sprayed, and due to none of the Magis being able to use their powers and Dolores (the only one she refuses to harm) not being able to transform anyways without her, she has to step up and convince her to purify herself and that her actions are wrong.
* She and Dolores are some of the few characters her creator did not give feathered angel-style wings (as they prefer angel wings) as their wing style, instead having fairy-style wings.
* In her concept design, she was going to have gloves in Magi form, but they were scrapped.
* Whenever she is seen sleeping during nighttime scenes, she always has Warm Snuggly in one arm and her stuffed clownfish Robert John MacFisher in the other. She and Dolores are also sometimes seen sleeping together in the same bed, although this is completely platonic.
* The way she earned her Harmony Mark is very similar to how the canon Flora earned her Enchantix in *Winx Club*.
* Her wish, which she holds off for a few chapters and she ultimately decides to forfeit the chance for something she wants and instead decides to make it on behalf of someone else, is used in "Blissany Witches Out" after Blissany is de-witched to ease her almost suicidal depression from her mother witching out and disappearing, and for her to stay strong and fight in her mother's honor. In the same chapter, she and Lil' Cheese even cook a whole meal for her afterwards to further cheer her up.
* In the equivalent chapter to "Guardians of Harmony: The Multiversal Crisis!," after falling through the time portal, Avvy accidentally *kisses* Nina as she falls down. However, it is confirmed this is completely accidental in-universe, especially since the former has been confirmed to be asexual.
* In the series finale, Avvy and Dolores are confirmed to have taken over the leadership of the Cerulean Gym together after Misty passed away (since she and Brock had sacrificed themselves offscreen). They also work as tourist guides as well.
* Her English surname rhymes with "sloth," and is not pronounced like "both."
* In the Japanese version, her nickname is the same as Koko's name, though they are active in different time periods, so there is no confusion between them.
* In the chapter where she witches out, after stealing Kyubey's wish-granting power to grant herself wishes, she is about to wish to become more powerful than Angela and become the absolute strongest being in the Multiverse. While Dolores confronts Avvy before she can and talks her out of her despair, if she hadn't, she most likely would have become *an orange Divinity*.
* Despite usually being immature, her in-universe Pokéstagram account has over 35 million followers.
* She has the most running gags of almost any Magi.
* Due to the Incubators being kidnapped prior to *Rosie Magica*, she and Dolores contract with Perserver!Joy (Dulce) instead.
