Sparkle Sprites

**Sparkle Sprites** are divine, fairy-like magical creatures who embody various concepts. They give certain powers to many kids, sometimes even transforming them into themed superheroes. These creatures can be seen in the magic spellbook.

## History

Sparkle Sprites are divine beings that are formed whenever a new abstract idea or emotion comes into existence in the universe, such as life, beauty, and mathematics. The very first Sparkle Sprite ever to come into existence is Lulu, the Sprite of Chantillation, who came into existence upon the creation of the universe.

All of the sparkle sprites know each other and have journeyed across the universe for ages. During their travels, they found their way to Earth and at some point and discovered their magical powers, born from the animal themes that they respectively have. That's when the sparkle sprites realized, even though their powers were great, they were too strong and unfocused, leading to great damage.

During their ancient past, the sparkle sprites witnessed the rise of humanity and with it, however, the sparkle sprites are spirit-like, and thus couldn't be perceived by regular, tangible lifeforms, such as humans, and were therefore unable to interact with them. Despite that, they also had a deep yearning to learn more about humans, unknowingly observing them.

Just as their new owners were taught about the powers of the jewels, so were the sparkle sprites, such as the magic potions, that allowed them and their owners to change into their elemental forms. However, even though they were curious about how their powers could be modified, they were forbidden by the guardians to know as a precaution in case if they ever fell into evil hands.

## Appearance

Generally, sparkle sprites are small, being around 10 centimeters (4 inches) in height, with large heads, big eyes, tails in different sizes, and tiny bodies. They have arms and legs, and though they lack fingers and toes, sparkle sprites are still able to grab things.

Most of their designs resemble of look related to the owner's theme. For example, Chantilly loves anything to do with ladybugs. Fittingly, her sparkle sprite is themed after a ladybug.

After consuming certain potions made from the magic spellbook, their appearances will change. For example, if the aqua mode potion is used, the sparkle sprites will gain fins and a fishtail. In "ice mode", the sparkle sprites gain crystals on their bodies.

## Power-ups

The magic spellbook contains recipes for potions that can alter a sparkle sprite's appearance and form, either by drinking the potion directly or consuming something edible that contains the potion. After the sparkle sprite has ingested a potion, their owner will get new abilities and appearances in their superhero form, depending on the potion the sparkle sprite consumed. These extra powers last for only a single transformation.

The known power-ups are:

* **Sunset** - This gives the sparkle sprite's owner many powers of heat and light, usually having to do with a sunny summer theme. The potion's color is pink.
* **Love** - This causes the sparkle sprite's owner to fall deeply in love with anyone or anything. The potion's color is red.
* **Space** - This allows the sparkle sprite to grant space-related powers to their owner. The potion's color is purple.
* **Aqua** - It allows the sparkle sprite's owner to have underwater abilities. The potion's color is blue.

## Abilities

Sparkle Sprites are divine beings who can phase through matter, levitate, survive without oxygen, and are also immortal. Even though they are small, sparkle sprites appear to have a human level of strength. They have displayed the ability to hold and lift things that are larger and/or heavier than themselves. Sparkle Sprites can also possess or inhabit objects.

They can also perform a ritual for their owners where they create a jewel inside their bodies from the hairs of their past and current owners. They then present the charm to their current bearer for a special occasion, such as a birthiversary.

Sparkle Sprites each have a unique superpower, each power corresponding to the abstract concept that the person embodies.

When a specific command is given, a sparkle sprite will occasionally inhabit their owners the ability to transform into a superhero and gain a specific power based on the animal that made the sparkle sprite come into existence. They are aware of the actions of the people who use them when transformed, but they cannot communicate with their owners during that time. At the same time, most likely since they started their lives as cosmic and/or spirit-like beings, the sparkle sprites are likely born with their powers.
