### Meeting the Glitter Force and Befriending Mana

Because of her interest in Maya, Regina appeared once more while Maya was with her friends. Makenzie recognizes Regina and tells Maya not to befriend her, however, Maya walks away with Regina, which angers Makenzie. Regina drags Maya out of the school so they

can play. As they hang out, Regina tells Maya to forget about her friends, but Maya disagrees. Regina gets angry and creates a Distain to hurt Maya’s friends.

In one last desperate attempt, Regina creates a Distain to steal the crystals, which works as the Glitter Force go back home without them. Regina decides to appear in front of the girls with the crystals but she starts to talk, the crystals glow and fly away.

While searching for the crystals, Regina comes across the Glitter Force, in which Heart starts admitting her feelings towards her. Regina rejects Maya and summons a big snowball which Spade destroyed with Sparkle Sword. However, her attack also created a hole beneath Regina. As Regina fell, Heart grabs her hand, only to fall down with her. Regina wakes up in an ice cave to see the crystals in front of a frozen Marie Angelica.

Regina tells her about her feelings of Maya and Glitter Heart replies that what she feels is love. then a single tear falls on her cheek and she says 'Maya, be safe.' Regina then lets go of Glitter Heart and begins to fall into the magma, but Glitter Heart didn't want it to happen and she caught Regina with her feet. Regina, seeing this, then got better, and broke the bind placed on her magic and then flew into the sky with Glitter Heart. Then they got back and were fighting the Distain. The Glitter Force did their finishing attack, Togetherness Power Arrow, and the Distain were defeated. Johnny got the frozen Marie Angelica and everyone left. Regina came with the Glitter Force but she still thought of her father.

The Trio captured Regina and was taken to Splendorius. Regina got scolded by her father the King Mercenare and then got electrocuted by him because of her close relationship to a Glitter Force Warrior. The Glitter Force arrived and were fighting Distains. Then Glitter Heart saw that Regina was hurt. Glitter Heart arrived and helped her, then suddenly a spider Distain came and made a hole in which Glitter Heart and Regina were falling into. Glitter Heart then hung by a thread as Regina had her arms wrapped around her neck to hold on to Glitter Heart.

He wanted her to come back to him and break all her bonds with the Glitter Force. Regina rejects initially, but he continues about all the pain she felt was caused by the Glitter Force. She still does not buy into it, so the King Mercenare zaps her dark lightning, turning her heart black with selfishness once again.

She ate with Maya’s family, and she saw that Maya’s family was kind. Regina was elated to eat with her family, but at the same time, she felt a curious pain in her heart. While they were in Maya’s bedroom, they talked about her father, the King Mercenare. Then at bedtime, Maya and Regina slept together. The next day, Regina and the others went to the beach and played together. After they did fun things, the Trio suddenly came to attack the Glitter Force and take back Regina.

### Glitter Ace's Arrival

As Regina saw Glitter Ace, she began attacking, however, she was no match for Ace, as Ace could dodge her attacks. Maya, seeing Regina get hurt by Ace, then started to cry. Finally, Ace almost purified Regina with Ace Shot. This attack made Regina weak, as she could not get up. Bel came and took her, but before she left, Maya came up to her. However, Regina suddenly began shouting at her and said that it was her fault for everything. Hearing this, Maya became disappointed at herself, and also began crying more. This made Ace confiscate her Glitter Charm. Glitter Ace told her once she knew how to act, she would get her Glitter Charm back.

When Heart made her feelings reach Regina, her father attacked Heart but was protected by Regina. Heart, Ace, and Regina try to make King Mercenare remember love but he refused to listen.

### The History of Regina and Natalie Revealed

Many years ago, Princess Marie Angelica fell ill to a terminal disease. Only the Golden Crown of Wisdom, one of the Three Sacred Treasures, had the knowledge to save her. However, the crown is being used to imprison the evil sealed away by the legendary Glitter Force. Desperate to save his daughter, the king of Splendorius stole the crown but was consumed by the evil and transformed into the King Mercenare. Unable to fight her father, Princess Marie Angelica broke her heart into two parts. The part that loves her father, her darkness, and the part that wants to protect her people, her light. Angelica’s body was then transformed into an egg which will later be born as Dina. The darkness of Ange's heart went back to the King Mercenare and was reborn as Regina while the light was reborn as Natalie and was sent to earth.

### Saving The King

After discovering that she loves not only her father but also her friends, Regina teams up with the Glitter Force in order to save her father who is trapped inside the heart of King Mercenare. Together with her biological sisters Natalie and Dina, Regina was able to help the king regain his love and free him. But before the Glitter Force can celebrate, Bel arrives and absorbs the remaining evil of the King.

### Epilogue

It is revealed in the last episode that she transfers to Seashell Bay Middle School. Even though Regina is not an official warrior, she seems to be part of the *Glitter Force* *Doki Doki* team at the end of Episode 15 (season 2).

## Abilities

Her powers are shown in episode 11. She can turn people into Distain by finding people's hidden selfishness rather than acting when the thoughts come to the surface, as the other villains do. She is able to color a person's heart black when she summons a Distain.

To summon a Distain, Regina first tilts her head, jumps and twirls a little, and then jumps again before summoning dark energy. She then shoots it out of her finger towards a heart to paint it black, thus summoning a Distain.

In episode 13 (season 2) Regina achieves the powers of the Spear of Light after it responds to the love she has toward her father.

Although not a power used in combat, Regina (like Natalie) can grow older for a short period of time due to the amount of love she receives and emits.
