Avigail Both

* Civilian
* Guardian

**Avigail Both** (新海小笑 *Shinkai Koemi*, ***Avigail Both***?), usually just called **Avvy**, or **Koko** (小々) in the original Japanese version, is one of the main characters of season 14 of *Guardians of Harmony*. She is an immature, eccentric, and wacky 15 year-old girl who studies in Yumesora as a personal student of Queen Cosmica with Dolores Rivers, but they were sent off by her to make friends and along with Kyubey, search for the new Chosen Ones.

Her Guardian partner is Dolores Rivers.

## Bio

### Appearance

Avvy has curly bright orange hair worn in puffy odango buns, freckles, and big orange eyes. Her Harmony Mark is an orange clownfish.

As a civilian, she wears a wine red jacket over a bright orange buttonup dress and white loafers with orange socks.

As a Guardian of Harmony, her hair turns golden-orange and becomes long curly pigtails tied with puffy tufts at the ends. She wears an orange, collared crop top with white scalloped sleeves, white black-bordered stripes and a matching split skirt. She has orange knee-length heel boots with white soles, a miniature jester hat on her head (with her Harmony Gem placed on it), fish earrings, and has white and orange fairy wings on her back. Her Elemaximum Gauge is placed on her skirt.

### Personality

Despite being 15, Avvy is extremely immature, wacky, cheerful, hyperactive, optimistic, joyful, positive, childish, eccentric, and silly and cannot sit still for more than a nanosecond, so Dolores has to keep her in line. She commonly is extremely annoying, singsongs little kids' show songs, pisses others off and despite her well-meaning intentions and not upsetting others on purpose, is extremely naiive and oblivious to when others don't like her jokes. She likes laughing and making others laugh, and wants everycreature to be happy. Often, she is whiny, demanding, and pushy when she doesn't get her way or if somecreature doesn't agree with her even if they're right. However, she gets upset easily if somecreature makes any indication they don't like her and can become depressed quite easily. Even as an adult, she still retains her immature personality.

Despite her immaturity, she is a bit more serious when necessary, is not afraid to call somecreature out for being a "meanie," and does care for her friends deeply, especially her best friend Dolores. She will try her best to help and support them and cheer them up any way she can despite often causing problems. She is very optimistic and happy, and cares for everycreature and always looks on the bright side. Noticeably, she is very fond of non-Pokémon clownfish and keeps a fishtank of them, has numerous clownfish toys, sleeps with a stuffed clownfish named Robert John MacFisher, and wears clownfish-patterned pajamas and clownfish slippers to bed and has clownfish-striped blankets and pillows.

Avvy also has a habit of faking her usual happy self when she is feeling down in order to not worry others, but Dolores can always see through this, and she is quite a crybaby who cries very easily, such as if somecreature becoming a witch is her fault or when she cried for 20 straight minutes after stubbing her foot. However, she will always regret it, apologize for her actions, and sincerely will try to make up for upsetting somecreature. She is shown to be quite a good cook and often cooks for the group.

### Etymology

* The kanji for her Japanese surname **Shinkai** mean "new" and "sea" while her Japanese name **Koemi** means "little laugh" or "little smile."

### Relationships

* Dolores Rivers: Avvy's best friend who studies in Yumesora with her. She is much more pessimistic and serious than Avvy and usually has to keep her in line when she goofs off or gets distracted, and is often annoyed by her immaturity. Dolores freely admits she is extremely annoying (only when she's out of earshot to not upset her), but still cares about her.
* Warm Snuggly: Avvy's Vulpix who she cherishes and is very close to.
* Blissany Daisy: One of her friends, who still considers her a friend despite her being annoying. However, her immaturity has even caused a few characters to witch out, much to Blissany's fury. Avvy does, however, decide to use her wish for Blissany's benefit instead of her own, and wishes to ease her extreme, borderline-suicidal depression from missing her mother.
* Lil' Cheese: Her other best friend. They often throw parties or make meals for the group together, with Avvy handling the cooking and "Cheesy" as she calls her handling the baking since she can't cook to save her flank.
* Natsuko: Avvy gets along with Natsuko/Natalie well due to both of their optimistic natures in spite of the Guardians' parents who are Guardians being kidnapped, but she sometimes makes fun of her for she and Zinnia Sunbeach not being able to transform when they want, much to both of their annoyance.

## Magical Abilities

As a Guardian of Harmony, Avvy has enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

Due to being a Water Elemental and her design basis being clownfish, she has the additional ability to breathe underwater unaided while transformed. She is also a Psychic Elemental, and is able to form squishy spheres of psychic energy that she can form into any shape she desires, such as (but not limited to) shields to absorb attacks or into projectiles. Avvy can create blurry flashes of psychic energy that cause confusion and dizziness. Her water-based powers allow her to summon a huge spray of bubbles to confuse an enemy or shoot exploding bubbles. When touched, the bubbles cause the enemy to burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. Her laughing can hypnotize enemies. She can also shoot non-Pokémon clownfish at the enemy as an attack and can even create a ginormous clownfish to crush the enemy.

Like Pinkie Pie, Avvy can also manipulate cartoon physics (*only* when it's funny, though - she can only do this in funny situations, and otherwise can't), which allow her to do feats such as break the 4th wall, comically extend her ears or neck to eavesdrop, fit into impossibly small spaces, teleport, pull items out of nowhere, and hear her name whenever it is spoken.

She is unable to transform without being with Dolores.

## Pokémon

* Normal Vulpix (nicknamed Warm Snuggly; partner Pokémon)
* Clamperl (nicknamed Giggles)
* Bruxish (nicknamed Mr. Colory)

## Guardian of Harmony

Avvy is the Guardian of Clownfish and Silliness; she is a Water/Psychic Elemental who represents the Elemental of Laughter and her theme color is orange. Her weapons are an orange baby rattle which she can split in half to shoot bubbles, a light-up spinner wand used to perform her psychic attacks resembling an orange version of this light-up spinner wand toy, and a fishing rod (which Dolores also has her own identical version of alongside her other weapons). In order to transform, she needs to be with her partner Dolores Rivers.

### Transformation

Avvy and Dolores hold their Harmony Gems and shout "Miracle Engage!" in unison, causing the Gems to glow and activate. The two of them then put the Harmony Gems close to their Power Necklaces and as soon as the Necklaces activate as well, the screen is engulfed in a white light.

### Attacks

* Psycho Bubble Stream - Avvy's main purification finisher.
* Fish Forte - A stronger purification finisher she performs together with Dolores.

## Trivia

* It is confirmed her parents and Dolores's parents are alive and well, but they allow them to study in Yumesora, but make them contact them regularly and they come home every now and then.
* She and Dolores were inspired by Dory and Marlin from *Finding Nemo*, but with their personalities switched.
* In all dubs, her voice actress's dialogue is digitally pitched up.
* According to a made-up interview, Avvy does indeed have ADHD, which partially explains why she acts like an overgrown 5 year-old instead of a 15 year-old. However, it is also due to her natural personality as well.
* While she is aware her full name is Avigail, as a running gag she will pretend to be stupid and ask who Avigail is if somecreature such as Blissany addresses her as that (usually when angry).
* As another running gag, whenever somecreature mentions her when she's not present, she will suddenly inexplicably appear. She also does several cartoonish gags such as comically extending her neck to eavesdrop or her jaw literally dropping to the floor.
* Her witch form, Frownfish, resembles a giant Goldeen cracker (the Pokémon equivalent of Goldfish crackers), and she can also shoot barrages of Goldeen crackers.
* She and Dolores are some of the few characters her creator did not give feathered angel-style wings (as they prefer angel wings) as their wing style, instead having fairy-style wings.
* In her concept design, she was going to have gloves in Guardian form, but they were scrapped.
* Whenever she is seen sleeping during nighttime scenes, she always has Warm Snuggly in one arm and her stuffed clownfish Robert John MacFisher in the other. She and Dolores are also sometimes seen sleeping together in the same bed, although this is completely platonic.
* The way she earned her Harmony Mark is very similar to how the canon Flora earned her Enchantix in *Winx Club*.
* Her wish, which she holds off for a few episodes and she ultimately decides to forfeit the chance for something she wants and instead decides to make it on behalf of someone else, is to ease Blissany's almost suicidal depression from her mother witching out and disappearing, and for her to stay strong and fight in her mother's honor.
* In "Guardians of Harmony: The Multiversal Crisis!," after falling through the time portal, Avvy accidentally *kisses* Nina as she falls down. However, it is confirmed this is completely accidental in-universe, especially since the former has been confirmed to be asexual.
* In the series finale, Avvy and Dolores are confirmed to have taken over the leadership of the Cerulean Gym together after Misty passed away (since she is not a Chosen One). They also work as tourist guides as well.
* Her English surname rhymes with "sloth," and is not pronounced like "both."
* In the Japanese version, her nickname is the same as Koko's name.
