**Genopsyko Yumenoshima**, or **Yumenoshima Genopsyko** (夢ノ島ジェノサイ子) in the original Japanese release, also known by her real name **Karin Sonoda** (園田かりん), is one of the main protagonists of *Magical Girl Raising Project: Restart*.

Genopsyko Yumenoshima is part of Team Daisy and a friendly mangaka in real life.

## Appearance

### Human

Karin is simply described as a somewhat round young woman. Along with the fact she fails her diet, it's to be thought she is on the chubby side.

### Magical Girl

As a Magical Girl, Genopsyko Yumenoshima has short brown hair accompanied with gray eyes. She has a helmet to cover her head with a large orange visor fastened by a black circle. Her helmet includes cat ears and has black decorations sticking out from its back. She also wears a black and white band around her neck.

She wears a black and gray spandex-like superhero suit that includes a black cat tail with a white tip. Her spandex suit has orange spots. She has white gloves with a black stripe and orange to cover the inside of her hands. The sleeves of her suit have a single white stripe running across them. On her hip is a holstered ray gun, which is attached to a gray belt.

She wears white boots with a black stripe across the top and black soles.

## Personality

Genopsyko Yumenoshima is a very friendly and outgoing otaku.

She loves anime, games, and rerolling in mobage gacha. Her favorite anime happens to be *Magical Daisy* and she's made sure to never miss an airing episode. Not only that, Genopsyko forms offline meet-ups for those that love Magical Girls like she does, and is friends with even La Pucelle because of this. She is a long-standing member online and feels obligated to keep peace within the *Magical Daisy* message board. Other than keeping up with her otaku interests, Genopsyko works professionally as a manga artist.

As a Magical Girl, she's very confident in her magical suit and the ability to withstand injury. Genopsyko often jokes about her safety and says she can "withstand even the Big Bang" if it came down to it. Although she brags about herself, it's never in mean spirit and it always gets the other members of Team Daisy laughing with her. She becomes especially close with @Meow-Meow due to having similarly tacky Magical Girl names.

She eases the tension within her team and wherever she travels to in-game. It's this breezy attitude that eventually causes her trouble.

## Magic

***Can block any attack with her magical suit.***

Genopsyko possesses a unique magical suit. This suit is able to completely nullify any damage taken from any source whatsoever. In order to activate her magic, Genopsyko must lower the visor of the suit. Afterward, nothing can harm the suit itself. As long as her visor is down, every part of her is protected. Despite there being openings that the suit does not cover, magic still treats it as the suit covering it.

The suit is invincible. However, Genopsyko herself is not. Attacks that ignore the suit can still harm Genopsyko.

She also possesses a magical ray gun, although it purely serves as decoration and has no real use.

### Special Item(s)

* ***Magical Suit:*** Genopsyko's invincible suit. When she pulls down the visor she can block any attack.

The two then join up with Magical Daisy and Nokko, and Team Daisy is ultimately formed. Genopsyko is disappointed in @Meow-Meow for not recognizing the *famous* Magical Daisy and scolds her for it, though all in good fun. The two are very relaxed and happy around each other.
