Maho Curry

MAHO CURRY (CALLED MAHO KARII IN THE DOUJINSHI VERSION)

## Appearance

Not only has male Minami been blessed with an identity that is equally adept at masquerading as a male, but they can also be presented as an authentic teenage Maho Shoujo girl. She has a physical body that has been outfitted with both male and female features, and therefore can be dressed and presented as a formidable 'Battle Maiden' Maho girl. Maho Curry is neither too short to be taken as a serious competitor, nor too tall to be seen as a lanky and awkward. She has a rounded face, with slightly full cheeks that give her a pleasing facial appearance, and a somewhat pointed chin. Her hair is smooth and shiny, and when combed down, falls into adorable little individual bangs that gracefully caress her shoulders. Tiny, provocative bangs cover her forehead. She has bright blue hair color, with pale sky blue highlights. She always wears a huge red bow at the back of her head. The bow is wider than that of her head, so it always stands out as juvenile looking, but super cute ! Like Minami, Maho Curry always has a 'cow-lick' of hair protruding from the right side of her hairstyle. Maho Curry has big 'anime girl' eyes, that also have a bright blue color hue to them, giving her face a mildly sexy and erotic demure. She has bold, pronounced eyelashes and expressive eyebrows.

Maho Curry has normal shoulders, not broad like a typical male, and a slender, attractive body build and features. She has a proportional sized bust, but it looks larger because of the way her costume enfolds and prominently displays that compelling feature of her body. Her costume also emphasizes her narrow waist and her fuller hips adds volume to the skirt part of her costume dress. She has average size hands and feet, but long, slender, attractive legs. Overall, Maho Curry is a very attractive and desirable teenage girl, belying the fact that she can be, if she ever learns how to access and control her power, a very fearsome and awesome battle combatant. However, only four girls (and one cross-dressing boy who is very suspicious) know that Maho Curry is destined to abandon their exclusive male appearance, and eventually begin also presenting as her authentic female gender expression, as the battle maiden Maho Curry, and as the ordinary teenage girl Karii Maki.

Maho Curry's battle maiden's costume consists of a strapless, short hemline dress that is similar to a fancy, colorful wedding dress. Her shoulders, upper chest, upper and middle back, and 'wing bones' are completely bare. The bust is enclosed in a wrapping of white fabric that is tightly bound around her boobs, and held in place with a red strap across the top that is tied into a bow at the center. The bust wrapping exposes the very top of her cleavage. Her mid-section is bound and encased with what looks like a pale blue bustier, with the bustier held together by criss-cross straps in the front. The bottom of the bustier just about covers her hips, and sports white lace around its hemline. Underneath the bustier, the skirt part of the dress flows down and outward, with the dress's hemline at mid-thigh. The dress is of a darker medium blue, with a very dark blue stripe just above the hemline. The dress is further held outward by a crisp, white petticoat that is worn underneath. Maho Curry wears above-the-knee, thigh-high stockings in the same dark medium blue tone, with a very dark stripe at the top of the thigh-highs. She also wears knee-high boots that are of a velvet blue, with a small collar around the top of the boots, and with a low heel on the boots.

For accessories, Maho Curry has her usual huge red bow at the back of her head, that is wider than her head and hairstyle. She wears a red choker around her neck, as well as a necklace that consists of a round, blue diamond-style cut crystal with white wings. On the left side, at the bottom of her bustier, there is a huge red bow, identical to the bow in her hair, but with red streamers flowing outward, down to her knees. She wears dark medium blue colored opera gloves, with a dark blue stripe at the top, and a red ribbon gathered at the wrist to make tiny, puffed cuffs.

Overall, Maho Curry's fashion style of battle maiden costume is typical of Maho Shoujo girls, but maybe with a bit more erotic and provocative style to it, what with the fact that the costume shows a bit more of her bare skin, more so than usual.

## Personality

As a maho shoujo gal, Maho Curry has a 'get up and go' kind of personality, such that she can engage the bad guys, duke it out with them, subdue them, and not only have a ton of fun with that, but stay light-hearted, and have no hard feelings afterward. She is enthusiastic as 'all get out', and, so far, has never backed down from the boasts and actions of the Maniacal 'Girl'. When they do engage one another, Maho Curry is at least fearless, if not a little clumsy, and it is the Maniacal 'Girl' that gives up and backs down. She is absolutely loyal to her friends and fellow club members of the Maho Shoujo Club. She is drawn to Pretty Saku-Nyan to encourage and protect her, as Pretty Saku-Nyan has been and still is 'the reluctant anime girl'. They seem to have a developing girl-with-girl Shoujo Ai shipping, but again most of it on the side of Pretty Saku-Nyan. Maho Curry is obedient, and follows the directions and wishes of the club President. She works well with the team of the two other maho shoujo girls that can transform to battle maidens. It is hinted in the story line that Maho Curry is the most powerful of the maho shoujo girls, as well as the Maniacal 'Girl'. However, this does not 'go to her head', as she puts the team concept above her own personal attributes and accomplishments.

Maho Curry does have her less than desirable points. She can sometimes be self-centered, due to the major narcissistic streak in her personality. In Chapter 2, she spends much time staring at herself in the mirror. She loves her battle maiden costume, and even wears it when she does remedial study sessions with Karin Saku, much to Karin's annoyance. Further narcissism is shown when the avatar Sonnon pulls at Maho Curry's costume, and it doesn't phase her one bit. Maho Curry is proud of her appearance. But her pride may go either way, for the good, or for her detriment, something that she needs to constantly monitor. Maho Curry does need to 'grow up' about some traits that she has. But given time and experience, and with the help of her friends, she will succeed in whatever conflict, or whatever fun is to be had for that matter, that she becomes a part of, or is cast her way.

## Maho Curry's Story

When Minami goes through a Henshin [ Transformation Sequence ] and becomes an anime girl, wearing her 'battle maiden' costume, she uses the name Maho Curry. By joining the Maho Shoujo Club as an after school activity, male Minami is given the iphone app that can transition them to Maho Curry. Thus begins her first experiences as a teenage female, and she comes to be accepted into a social circle of other maho shoujo girls. Maho Curry is best friends with Pretty Saku-Nyan, who became a Maho Shoujo girl herself, just so she could 'keep an eye' on Maho Curry and her certain to develop future escapades. Later, another 'girl', actually a male gender-bending as a 'female' Dark Lord, begins to interact with Maho Curry.

Maho Curry does not, in the beginning, know how to use her miraculous powers, nor does she even know how to interact socially with the others. This being a paradox, since it is possible that she is the most powerful of all the anime girls, as well as the Dark Lord. However, she slowly learns, mostly by trial-and-error, how to accomplish her goals of being a Maho Shoujo girl, and of presenting as her correct Gender Identity of that of a Bigendered teenager. During the Maho Shoujo Club's Summer Camp, Maho Curry is upgraded with a special power. She can put her hand out, palm out, and command a flare of fire to be emitted from her hand, and directed anywhere she wants it to go. To access her firepower, she has to think of fiery hot, super spicy curry stew.

Later in the story, Maho Curry finds out that if she removes her Battle Maiden costume, she can dress as an ordinary teenage girl. And with her anime girl power dialed down, she can behave and interact socially as a well-adjusted teenage girl.

In Chapter 57, Maho Curry finds out schoolmate Akira Asaba's secret, that they actually can cross-dress as the Maniacal Girl, Dark Lord Kaiserk. Likewise, Akira learns Minami's deep, dark secret, that they are a Bigender teenager, and can transform into Maho Curry, the Battle Maiden, as well as Karii Maki, an ordinary teenage girl.
