## Personality

In her middle school years, Magical Daisy was an energetic and bright Magical Girl, always ready to take on the day with her mascot at her side. She was very dedicated, seeking to become stronger and kinder, even setting her sights on becoming a better Magical Girl than ever before. An auditor from the Magical Kingdom caught wind of Magical Daisy's exploits and took it to the higher ups, where an anime was created in her namesake, *Magical Daisy*.

Present time, Magical Daisy is attending an average university. She says she could've aimed for a more prestigious university, but her Magical Girl activities hadn't left much time for schoolwork. Her training and patrolling had taken up too much of her time. Not only that, she stopped speaking with her friends from middle and high school, and she lacks friends from university.

Due to her time-consuming Magical Girl activities, Magical Daisy does not have a part-time job. Her living situation is, in her own words, terrible. The apartment she rents is nearly falling apart at the seams. Even more unfortunately, she has no qualifications and doesn't own a driver's license. Magical Daisy considered them unnecessary as a Magical Girl. Although she suffers privately, Magical Daisy does her best as a Magical Girl, considering it to be heroic.

Before the events of *Restart* take place, she begins to question her role. The Magical Girl Magical Daisy doesn't shine bright as it did before, and she wishes she could've experienced more while she was young. Magical Daisy wonders where her future is headed.

The beam's thickness depends on how Magical Daisy shoots it. Shooting it through her fingertips produces a narrow beam (about 10 centimeters in diameter), pinpointed to the target. However, shooting it from her palms produces a much wider and thicker beam (about 50 centimeters in diameter).

Her Daisy Beams can also harm Magical Daisy herself when reflected.
