Angelverse

The **Angelverse**, shortened as the **Angel AU** and officially known as **Angels of Friendship** (Japanese: **友達は天使だ** *Friends are Angelic*), is a maho senshi-themed AU series created by Glorysia Melody. It is currently shared by CheerfulSteekip and Foodyeater.

## Characters

### Main

#### Angelics

* **Hanasato Minori**: The protagonist of the story, who is a 17 year-old girl. She is a big fan of Kiritani Haruka from the idol group ASRUN. Like her longtime inspiration, Minori has also set her sights on becoming an idol. Eventually, in episode 25, she becomes Kin's sister.
* **Kiritani Haruka**: TBA
* **Momoi Airi**: TBA
* **Hinomori Shizuku**: TBA
* **Yumehoshi Kirami**: TBA
* **Hanasato Kin**: TBA

#### Guardians

* **Deiji-Pourtaa Akami**: One of the deuteragonists of the story, who is a (physically) 12 year-old girl who has taken the burden of all the captured Guardians (even being able to use their powers despite not being as all-powerful). As a result, before meeting Minori, Akami had a hard time fighting on her own, despite Yuuna and Ryutsuki helping her. She is the magically-created daughter of Deiji Aoha and Pourtaa Arata.
* **Yuuki Yuuna**: One of the deuteragonists of the story, who is a 17 year-old girl that lives in Shikoku. She is a cheerful and outgoing girl who loves to eat snacks and hang out with her friends. She was also a member of the currently missing Hero Club, and bears similarities to Takashima Yuuna.
* **Chiaki Ryutsuki**: The tritagonist of the story, who is a fashionable 20 year-old woman from a wealthy family who is very polite and respectful. She is usually calm and gentle and acts like an older sister, but has severe insecurities around body image and her appearance.
* **Kaze**: Kaze is a headstrong and stubborn 14 year-old Pegasus filly who means well but is somewhat spoiled, pushy, whiny, and bratty and has a wild imagination. She is the team's resident pure Miko.
* **Minowa Gin**: A 16 year-old girl who was an 11 year-old newbie Pokémon Trainer when she became a Guardian. Ever since the Shadow Guardian incident, she wants to get revenge by first freeing Cheren Harakbune. She debuts in the episode after all the Angelics join Team Harmony, but sadly dies three episodes after the Guardians (besides herself) first use Elemaximum, resulting in her becoming an ally as the Perserver (TBA).

### Allies

* **Nijimia**: An Angel from the Sky Kingdom who was sent to the human world in order to search for the Angel Seeds that can purify the Shadow Guardians.
* **Oozora Amane**: Nijimia's cousin from the Sky Kingdom, who was actually created as a last resort in case all the Guardians and Angelics should fall.
* **Glorysia Melody**: A human that can show or hide her Wolf ears and tail, despite technically being a Pony in her first life. Glorysia is 16 year-old girl who is a friend of Minori and Kohane. She always visits their school for a hangout.

### Mascots

* **Pirimin**: A pink colored fox and Minori's partner. She ends her phrases with "~piri!".
* **Hikori**: A blue colored penguin and Haruka's partner. He ends his phrases with "~hiko!".
* **Chirika**: A white and pink colored rabbit and Airi's partner. She ends her phrases with "~chiri!".
* **Mimirin**: A cyan colored cat with white stripes and Shizuku's partner. She ends her phrases with "~mimi!" and sometimes chants with the cat noise "~nyan".
* **Gyuuki**: A pink and white cow and Yuuna's first fairy. He ends his phrases with "~gyuu!".
* **Kisetenshi**: A baby angel who was raised through a hatched heart-shaped egg. She always tends to speak with "kise~".
* **Bibiko**: A brown colored bear and the old partner of Kirami before her brainwashing. He ends his phrases with "~bibi!".

### Supporting

* **Deiji Aoha**: The ancestor of all Daisies, and the mother of Akami. As a spirit, she often gives her daughter (and her friends) advice. She was also one of the founding members of Magi Galactic Magica, a branch of the Galaxy Expedition Team. She has since become the Perserver Aokami.
* **Pourtaa Arata**: The ancestor of all Porters, and the father of Akami. As a spirit, he often plays the same role as his wife, except that he is also unsure of himself ever since the Great Rebellion. He was also one of the founding members of Magi Galactic Magica. He has since become the Perserver (TBA).
* **Takashima Yuuna**: One of the members of Magi Galactic Magica. She is the one who started the Yuuna Factor, and also often appears in Yuuki's dreams. She has since become the Perserver (TBA).
* **Midas**: The ruler of Sky Kingdom. She sends fairies to human world in order to stop the Shadow Guardians from taking over the world.

## Locations

* Shikoku, Kanto: The main setting of the story.

## Notable Easter Eggs

* The story takes place in Shikoku, like in YuYuYu. However, unlike said series, Shikoku is instead a city in the Kanto region.

## Trivia

* The previous version of the Angelverse (made by CheerfulSteekip) was cancelled to avoid controversy concerning some flowers.
* Prior to AoF, it was originally planned as "Idols of Friendship" before it was scrapped due to slow production because of Harmony Heroes.
* According to the information, the idea for the AU was sparked by Aileen's two posts on Twitter Glorysia saw.
* The God of Darkness and Death does not have a name until episode 19 in order to avoid spoilers.
* Only Akami, Yuuna, and Ryutsuki escaped being Shadowified. However, two episodes later, the Magic of Friendship recruits Kaze as a new Chosen One since five hands/hooves are better than four.
	+ This technically may be a reference to YuYuYu, where after two/three episodes of the Hero Club having four members, Karin becomes its fifth member.
* The roles of the original (YuYuYu) Hero Club are given to the following Team Harmony characters:
	+ Yuuna's role remains the same, except that she is no longer the main focus.
	+ Tougou's role is given to Nijimia.
	+ Fuu's role is given to Akami. This actually makes sense considering the fact that Akami has been more active as a Guardian than her friends.
	+ Itsuki's role is given to Minori. This actually makes sense considering the fact that Minori wants to become an idol.
	+ Karin's role is given to Ryutsuki, but it is possible that it may be downplayed.
	+ Sonoko's role is given to Kaze, except that she can also be bratty at times.
* Perservers are carried over from MAeH, as confirmed by its founder.
* Unlike other series...
	+ Glorysia is not a Chosen One.
	+ Since the Divinity doesn't appear in this AU, it is confirmed that Katrina is at the same level of power as the other Guardians before capture. However, for obvious reasons, she is still not a Shadow Guardian.
		- This also applies for Dream Pixies and Incubators (like Kyubey), who are replaced by fairies. Most of them have wings (*especially* Gyuuki from YuYuYu).
	+ There are two Chosen One categories: Guardians and Angelics. This is similar to the idea of different categories of Magic Warriors in older series with secret identities, which are no longer used, such as Fairy Warriors, Angelix Warriors, Pretty Cures, Witch Warriors, and Mermaid Warriors, except that it is simplified to only two.
		- Guardians use Harmony Gems and Power Necklaces (and the phrase "Guardian Power, Full Bloom!") to transform, while Angelics transform with Fairies, and Kin uses a compact known as the Angel Article and the phrase "Angel Power, Spread My Wings!"
			* Despite Akami being a Guardian, her transformation phrase is quite different. The phrase needed for her to transform is "Harmony Power, Miracle Engage!"
		- The Guardians' first group attack is a modified version of Harmony Shower, while the Angelics' first group attack is Angelic Storm.
	+ Judging by how Akami helps both the Guardians and the Angelics, as well as help Nijimia keep the Angel Seeds, it is possible that there may be more to her than it seems. Although more details about this theory will not be revealed until the right moment in order to avoid spoilers, it *is* confirmed that she was magically-created as a gift for her parents as Aoha was dying.
	+ The Shadow Guardians, as well as Event Horizon, have the ability to summon monsters in one of two ways: the most common and easiest way is capturing and possessing a Harmony Spirit, but a way for them create a more dangerous monster is to extract the Light of Hope in somecreature's heart, corrupt it, and create a sapient evil clone of them which possesses all their powers and has to be destroyed. However, at least one such clone (Hanasato Kin), similar to Shadow Dream in *Yes! Pretty Cure 5*, decides to turn against the villains and defects to the heroes' side.
	+ Amane is an angel from the Sky Kingdom and Nijimia's cousin as opposed to being Kiseki's Light of Hope disguised as a human. Production-wise, however, it is currently unknown how she was created.
	+ Perservers may or may not be able to make contracts as opposed to the MAeH version.
	+ EH seems to be the Shadow Guardians' boss as she often gives them tasks and orders. However, she is still under the higher-up villains who are also controlling *her*.
	+ The series has the same amount of episodes as most *Pretty Cure* series, as opposed to being divided up into multiple seasons.
* By the end of episode 49, Akami, Nijimia and Amane are the only main characters left alive. In episode 50, Akami nearly sacrifices her existence to (TBA), but Cosmica gives her another chance, and time is ultimately rewritten.
