Nijimia (anime)

**Nijimia** (ニジミア, ***Nijimia***?) is one of the main characters from *Shining Bonds a la Mode* series. She is a Rainbow Angel and she is the partner and caretaker of all the Dream Pixies from Yumesora, who comes to the Pokémon world in search of the legendary warriors so they can save her homeland from the Nightmares. Her full name is **Nijimia Colorarch Dream Shine** (Japanese: **ニジミア・レジェンボーゲン・ペランギ・ユメ** *Nijimia Regenbogen Pelangi Yume*), and her civilian alias is **Carly Riverdream** (Japanese: **夢川恵子** *Yumekawa Keiko*).

## Bio

### Appearance

Nijimia has light blonde hair worn in curly pigtails and pink eyes, along with a gold halo above her head and white wings on her back (much like an angel). She wears a white dress (that is the same as other Rainbow Angels) with lavender sleeves and a white obi with a bow. She also wears light blue glass slippers with heels and a star with angel wings hair-clip on her left bang that can glow in the dark. In the Gacha comic, the hairclip is changed to resemble Princess Butterfly's hairclip in Gacha Life (but lavender and white) while everything else is pretty much retained, except that the glass slippers no longer have heels.

As her civilian form Carly Riverdream, her wings and halo disappear and her hair turns a duller shade of blonde and becomes shorter and worn down, while her eyes turn dark magenta. She wears a light pink top under a long-sleeved denim jacket, a light blue skirt, and red Mary Janes with white socks. This is retained in the Gacha comic, though her shoes are changed to red boots with white bows.

### Personality

Nijimia is kind, self confident and adventurous, and loves colors, painting new art and singing. She wants to bring her orders to Queen Cosmica and teach the Dream Animals how to fight against nightmares. She can, however, be immature at times or a perfectionist who thinks she has to be perfect at everything, even getting into a fit whether snarkers are fighting.

Nijimia can also be mistrustful, pessimistic, and skeptical of those who have changed their ways, contrasting Nijiko's extreme optimism. She and everyone else was rightfully mistrustful and could immediately tell that Nyarth was just faking his change of heart (way before Rocket-dan's *genuine* one) to lower the heroes' guard, but the latter immediately believed him without second thought. She was also understandably mistrustful of Niku after her permanent transformation into a human until she warmed up to her and was skeptical of Erisu letting a former servant of Queen Bera live in her home just like that. Event Horizon is the exception, however, as she couldn't exactly blame her for her behavior since she was brainwashed.

She is also a "tsundere" at times, initially being selfish and only caring about being the next royal teacher of Yumesora, but this gradually lessens.

As Carly, she has an intelligent and creative person that she can use her pad to giving any information about them (such as animals, human, creatures and type of anything) to any people. However, she has a strong sense of self despite still retaining her immaturity at times.

### Relationships

* **Black Hat**: Nijimia hates Black Hat the most out of Queen Vera's three underlings, due to him nearly trying to kill her for his rare treasure as she escaped through the portal to Yumesora, and because unlike Event Horizon and Necrosis, he does not reform and shows no remorse for his actions.
* **Nanette Daisy:** Nijimia originally treated Nanette with contempt, and only saw her as a stepping stone to her goal, but gradually warms up to Nanette after she saves her.
* **Hatsune Miku:** After she and Nanette are defended by Miku, Nijimia becomes interested in Miku and considers her as a desirable Harmony Warrior candidate, though Miku, who finds her shyness, decides to help her as Carly. However, Miku grows to appreciate her more after spending time with her.
* **Event Horizon/Katrina Moonshade** - In the first/second season, Nijimia and Event Horizon does not get along well, as well know as Nijimia wants her to end her business as nightmare.
* **Tiddlywink**: Nijimia is Tiddlywink's caretaker, and they are good friends. However, there are instances where Nijimia has trouble understanding Tiddlywink.
* **Elizabeth Storybook**: Whether any of her Pokémon or Dragonet's babies annoy her, a fight may occur between Elizabeth and Nijimia, and will always have to be stopped by either Nanette, or in some cases, Professor Juniper.

## History

### Meeting Nanette

Due to her homeland Yumesora being attacked by Malachor and his evil monsters (mainly Queen Vera and her 'workers' Black Hat and Event Horizon), Nijimia and seven Dream Pixies (Techie, Miinya, Notia, Rose, Matcha, Minty and Glowlight) are sent by Queen Cosmica to the human world in hopes of finding the legendary warriors. She later meets Nanette Daisy, who discovers her when rushing by and is grateful that Nijimia helped her find her charm bracelet that Nanette dropped. Initially, Nijimia only thinks of Nanette as a stepping stone to her goal of becoming the royal teacher of Yumesora, but then she watches Nanette become Faith Idol just to rescue her and save Professor Juniper and Marina as well when she is captured by Black Hat and a Snivy intended to be a Starter Pokémon is trapped in Event Horizon's evil Nightmare. She slowly warms up to Nanette after being saved by her.

### Argument, Reconciliation and Realization with the Daisy Sisters

When Nanette reveals that she and Marina are Pokémon Trainers on a journey, Nijimia gets upset. She later requests the two sisters to bring her along in hopes of searching for a candidate, but gets bored rather quickly. She leaves the Angel Color Pad to search for a candidate herself, only to be noticed by some normal people. After the Daisy Sisters find her, they have an argument, only for the Dream Pixies to tell Nanette she had a past she never knew of. Upset by all of what happened, Nijimia angrily flies away and Nanette runs into the Pokémon Center, leaving Marina to mourn for making one of the biggest mistakes she ever made. That night, however, when Nijimia is almost attacked by Necrosis (and Aurea as Burst Cino and Fennel as Burst Sharna protect the Angel and Marina), she realizes that Nanette, who rushes to her aid, still cares for everyone that is good. After the three girls make up with each other, Nijimia realizes that she shouldn't brag about being a future Royal Yumesoran Teacher all the time. The next day, to top off the reconciliation, Nanette teaches her how to transform into her human form just in case she should go out of the Angel Color Pad again and promises not to lose faith in herself as a Pokémon Trainer.

### Finding and returning everyone's Magical Dreams

After a difficult battle against the more powerful Nightmare Yume-Akumu, all of the heroes (but Sparkling Star) had their Magical Dreams stolen. Nijimia quickly retrieves it with the Angel Color Pad, but the Nightmare Yume-Akumu startles her and knocks the pad into a nearby mud place. While the other heroes try to get Glorysia's Magical Dreams back, Nijimia goes to search for the pad by herself. Desperate to return Glorysia's Magical Dreams, Nijimia even flies through the dirty section of the muds. Eventually, she meets up with her Breezie friend Tiddlywink, who was able to find the Angel Color Pad by herself. When Nijimia returns, she finds that Glorysia was able to regain her Magical Dreams on her own by her courage, transforming into her Arcanix form, Warrior Melody. She then releases Glorysia's stolen Magical Dreams from the pad, which restores the heroes' strength and allows Glorysia to perform Dreams of Love, to purify the Nightmare Yume-Akumu and knocking the three Event Horizon, Necrosis and Black Hat out.

## Magical Abilities

Nijimia is like an Angelix Warrior who is transformed 24/7: she naturally has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly. As seen in *The Magic Daisy Sisters*, however, she can suppress her powers to make a civilian form to make herself less conspicuous. This does, however, make her vulnerable as she essentially becomes a normal non-powered human.

It is unknown if Nijimia or the other Rainbow Angels posess an Element(s) as they are naturally magical from birth instead of being given powers and would thus have no need for an Element. She has been shown to be able to fire pink lightning bolts from her hand and paint rainbows in the sky.

### Uses of Magic

* **Sweet Dreams, Come Back!** - Used when she activates the Angel Color Pad.

## Trivia

* Nijimia loves to sing.
* She is similar to Laura from *Tropical Rouge Pretty Cure*.
* When Nijimia spreading her wings, it will spread some her rare Rainbow Feathers will appear, this causing Black Hat to targeting her as well.
* Strangely, Event Horizon seems to know her well, which is a hint along with her uncanny familiarity with Yumesora that she's not who everyone thinks she is.
* Nijimia is one of the few characters who retains her Japanese name in the English dub, though her civilian name is changed.
* Nijimia's wings, when fully spread, are larger than those of the Angelix Warriors even though their wings are already fairly big. She shares this trait with Angel Wing.
* Like all the heroes and supporting characters throughout the franchise, Nijimia appears in Mirai's group shot during The Magic of Friendship Grows.
