Tomonaga Uchu (anime)

**Tomonaga Uchu** (Japanese: **友永宇宙**) (***Annie Hyperhole** in the English dub*) is one of the main characters of *Shining Bonds a la Mode* and *Shining Bonds: Hopes and Dreams*. She is a patient physics nerd and Sorashi's best friend who loves to stargaze, and her greatest dream is to see a Deoxys in person.

## Bio

### Appearance

As a civilian, Uchu has stick-straight, chest-length jet black hair and indigo eyes. She wears a long-sleeved charcoal gray top under a black vest, a long loose purple skirt, and white sneakers with black toe tips and blue laces. Her Harmony Mark is a bright blue planet with a cyan ring around it.

As Angel Space, her hair turns indigo and becomes a wavy ponytail, with a headband that has two cube shapes and yellow star earrings. Her eyes brighten slightly. She has a strapless LBD (little black dress), black calf-length boots, elbow-length dark blue opera gloves, and a black ribbon at the back of her neck. She has white angel wings on her back, and her ChanMirror is in a carrying case on her waist.

### Personality

Uchu is a very patient and calm girl who goes at her own pace and is very trusting. She is much more optimistic than her best friend Sorashi, but can sometimes be too patient and be passive-aggressive, and has a lack of confidence in her own interests so she usually just goes with what others tell her. She also has a strong sense of justice that only comes out when somebody is harmed or in danger. Like Sorashi, Uchu is an intelligent and slightly socially recluse bookworm who loves to study physics. Both her and Sorashi want to be physicists one day, and Uchu also loves to stargaze at night and look for any extraterrestrial Pokémon (which came true when she got her Ligray ET). Her greatest desire is to see a Deoxys in person.

Like Sorashi and Shitasakan-chan, though, despite her calm and patient personality, Uchu can also be a huge snarker.

### Relationships

* Hisakawa Sorashi: Sorashi and Uchu are the best of friends and compliment each other's personalities. They have a common interest in physics, but Sorashi often finds Uchu's optimism off-putting while Uchu often finds Sorashi's pessimism off-putting, so they often butt heads. Regardless, they are very close.

### Etymology

* **Tomonaga** - "Tomo" means friend while "naga" means "eternal" or "long."
* **Uchu** - "Uchu" means "space," "universe," or "cosmos."

Her full Japanese name means "eternal friend of the universe."

## Magical abilities

Angel Space has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

Angel Space, as her alias suggests, has space-based powers. Like Pegasus's Voyage in *Miraculous Ladybug*, she is able to open a portal to any location she is thinking of for her and others to travel through, but she must be focused on the exact location she wants the portal to go to or else she can wind up somewhere unexpected. She has the power to manipulate gravity. Space can freely increase or decrease gravity in the environment or on specific objects/individuals - increasing gravity allows her to crush objects and crush or immobilize enemies, while decreasing it can allow non-magical objects or non-magical people/beings to float. However, a dangerous consequence of increasing gravity too much is the accidental creation of a huge black hole. By decreasing gravity, she is able to dissipate and stop the black hole, but it takes a lot of effort. This makes her the Magic Warrior (or Harmony Warrior in the reborn Multiverse) whose powers are the most dangerous and destructive as she has the potential to accidentally destroy the Earth.

Space can also use gravity to attract and repel objects and repel enemy attacks, similar to telekinesis. She can create vacuum-filled bubbles like a pistol shrimp that rapidly explode on contact. Space also posesses some matter-manipulation abilities as she is able to change the phase of matter a substance is currently in. Like Angel Time, Angel Space is able to sense disturbances in the space-time continuum. Space can also breathe in the vacuum of space without needing the Space Elemental bottle.

Uchu also knows some basic, first-level spells that all Magic Warriors/Harmony Warriors can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes. Her magic aura is bright indigo in color.

## History

### Pre-series

When Uchu was very little and too young to remember, her father died after being attacked by an angry Graena, and thus she is raised by her mother. She has also known Sorashi and Tsukiko (not the 340 Years Later one) since they were very young. When she was 5 years old, she was asleep one night when suddenly she heard a cry from outside her window. Carefully, Annie snuck outside and saw an injured Ligray lying on the grass who had gotten separated from the rest of her family. She befriended her and decided to take her back to bed with her to recover since she was too young to own a Pokémon, but since she didn't want her mother sneaking back in, her magic suddenly awakened after she marveled at the starry night and her magic opened a portal back to her bedroom. This also earned her a Harmony Mark of a blue planet surrounded by a cyan ring. In the morning, after getting the Ligray healed, her mother scolded her for sneaking out but agreed to own her until Uchu was 10, and Uchu named her ET and has had her ever since.

## Pokémon

* Ligray -> Ohbem (nicknamed ET)
* Yamikarasu (nicknamed Kaoruko)
* Hitodeman -> Starmie (nicknamed Kinhoshi)

## Trivia

* Angel Space's magic aura is indigo in color, though when she transforms, black light shines from her mirror (Dream Palette in the reborn universe), she has a black glowing "towel" or body glow during the sequence, and she has a black costume. This was done since an indigo magic aura looks more visually appealing and contrasts much better when she is transformed or doing magic, despite her theme color being black.

* Angel Space has the least detailed costume out of all the characters, having a simple strapless black dress. Despite her dress style, like Amanogawa Kirara, she is still invulnerable to being physically injured even on her bare skin when transformed, as all Magic Warriors/Harmony Warriors are.
* Uchu loves to eat licorice.
