Elytra

**Elytra** (Japanese: **ジューネバグ** *Junebug*) is a minor supporting character in the *Katy Magica* arc. She is best known as the witch who kills Melody whose name is currently unknown, and is a Magi who is not on the main team.

In the rewritten timeline, Elytra instead joins Katy and her friends at the point she had killed Melody in the original timeline.

## Bio

### Appearance

**Elytra** is a bright (though not as bright as spring green) grass green Changeling with gold-colored eyes, and after Stage 3, the tips of her ears are sparkly and have a fade of forest green. The symbol on her Power Necklace is a green plant with an orange sphere above it resembling the sun and a row of ray-like petals above it, resembling this stock symbol.

As a **magical girl**, (???)

Her post-Stage 3 outfit is only shown once. Her Elemaximum, Stage 5, Harmony Mark Magic, and Rainbow Power forms are not shown, although it is safe to assume she has them.

As a **witch**, she appears as a giant black sphere whose whole body is covered in tentacles that are able to stretch to a seemingly infinite length. On top of her body is a ring attached to a thread connected to her, making her overall resemble a pufferball/furryball toy.

### Personality

Elytra, as her real self, is shown to be friendly, polite, and very curious. However, she is also extremely guilty for killing Melody when she had no control over her actions, and refuses to join the team out of guilt, saying that she would love to join them but that "[her] hooves are far too stained."

### Relationships

* **The main Magis**: Despite sincerely apologizing to the main Magis and them accepting her apology, she still refuses to join their team due to the guilt she harbors from choking Melody to death, leaving the other Magis vulnerable to damage, and making Katy half-blind.

### Etymology

* "**Elytra**" refers to the hard outer wing cases of a beetle. Her Japanese name **Junebug** refers to a type of beetle.

## Magical Abilities

As a magical girl, Elytra possesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, and invulnerability to physical damage. While little of her abilities are shown, she does have the power to manipulate both plants and sunlight. Being a Changeling, it is also safe to assume that she naturally has the power to fly and shapeshift and needs to be in the presence of sufficient love given off by others to stay healthy. Her magic aura is shown to be grass green in color.

Her witch powers are what are mostly shown. As a witch, she can use her tentacles to wrap very tightly around somecreature and constrict or choke them, and can also turn completely invisible at will, undetectable by the senses, and can make herself completely silent and not make any sound, which allows her to easily do sneak attacks. She also has the power to make a Magi vulnerable to damage like anycreature else, and this effect unfortunately remains even after she is purified.

## Items

* **Power Necklace**
* **Harmony Gem** *(is stored in the Magical Warrior System app when unused)*

## Dream Pixies

Her Dream Pixies are not shown, and thus are unknown.

## Magical Warrior

Though her title is mentioned to be the Warrior of Ecology, little else is known, such as her attacks, weapons, Dream Pixies, and how her powers work in battle.

## Trivia

* Even after she is purified, the effects of her witch form's no-invulnerability spell remain for the rest of the arc.
* Originally, when she strangled Melody to death, the latter was going to turn blue from lack of oxygen and say she wasn't able to breathe, but this was changed to avoid being too similar to some certain real-life events.
* Elytra's Japanese name is the same as the MLP:FIM character Junebug.
