A **Love Note** is the titular supernatural notebook used by the Love Goddesses to sustain their youth, as well as a principal figure in the *Eponymous* series.

## Appearance

While appearing to be your typical notebook, Love Goddesses are able to choose what adorns their notebooks' covers, if anything, as well as the color scheme. Trista’s note is pink with a large heart inscribed on the cover.

## Overview

The purpose of the Love Note is to make humans fall in love, thereby increasing the lifespan of the Love Goddess who uses it by how many years the human and their significant other stays together. There are many rules governing how the Love Note can be used, though the most pivotal rule is that "The human whose name is written in this note shall fall in love."

### Use by Humans

A Love Note can be used by a human, although their lifespans do not increase by doing so. Humans and notes don't tend to mix well as it tends to cause nothing but trouble for them. Historically, humans have written the names of every pretty girl, or handsome guy they knew, and set them to love themselves. Trista is the first Love Goddess shown in the series, though it is stated early in the series that there have been Love Notes dropped in the human world before.

## How to Use It: The Complete Rules

This section reveals the rules governing the use of the Love Note. They have been divided into four parts: 1.) *How to Use It*, 2.) *Ownership*, 3.) *the Love Goddess Eyes*, and 4.) *the Love Goddess Rules*. Here, the rules will be explained by highlighting specific scenes from the series.

### 1. How To Use It

#### 1.1 Entering Names

* The human whose name is written in this note shall fall in love. This note will not take effect unless the writer has the subject's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.

#### 1.2 Entering the Causes and Conditions of Love

* If the person to be the object of the subject's affection is written within 42 seconds of writing the subject's name, the subject will fall in love with that person.
* If the person to be the object of the subject's affection is not specified, the subject will simply fall in love with the first compatible person they encounter.
* After writing the object of the affection, the details of the subject falling in love should be written in the next 6 minutes and 54 seconds. "
* The length of time the subject stays in love is dependant on compatibility which can be divided into 3 rough categories. The first and best is true loves. They're eternally compatible. The next is your normal compatibles, they will typically stay in love for quite a while. Then there are your incompatibles which are so off that they only last days.
* The Love Note is totally gender neutral. However it cannot override the subjects natural sexuality meaning that the default rule of compatibility complies.
* The Love Note doesn't care about monogamy either, so multiple people can be forced to fall in love with one subject.
* If the subjects don't know each other, the command will fail and default. However if conditions where the two meet, or learn of one another are specified the initial command does work, even if the subjects didn't originally know each other.

### II. Ownership

This note shall become the property of the human world once it touches ground in the human world.

The owner of a Love Note can recognize the image and voice of the original owner - a Love Goddess, for example.

The human who touches the Love Note Note can recognize the image and voice of its Love Goddess owner, even if the human is not the owner of the note.

#### 2.2 Situations Surrounding Ownership

The Love Goddess can retain ownership as long as the note isn’t used by a human.

The human becomes the Love Notes owner the moment they start writing names in it

When the owner of the Love Note dies without finding their true love, its ownership will be transferred to the person who finds the note until it is destroyed.

Any love the human knew before using the Love Note is forever forbidden to them. Their feelings won't change at all, but fate is against them ever getting together. Try as hard as they might, they'll never be with any previous love. Even the Love Note can't change that. Fortunately that just applies to previous love interests. Any new ones formed are free and clear.

If you lose the Love Note or have it stolen, you will lose its ownership unless you can retrieve it within 490 days.

When the owner of the Love Note dies while the note is on loan, its ownership will be transferred to the person who is holding it at that time. If the Love Note is stolen and the owner is killed by the thief, its ownership will automatically be transferred to the thief.

The individuals who lose ownership of a Love Note will also lose their memories of it. However, this does not mean that they will lose all memories from the period of ownership: they will only lose the memories involving the Love Note.

If a person loses possession of a Love Note he will not recognize its Love Goddess by sight or voice anymore. However, if the owner lets someone else touch that Love Note, from that time on that person will continue to recognize the Love Goddesses appearance and voice until he or she actually becomes the owner of the Love Note and subsequently loses possession of it.

When regaining ownership of a Love Note, the memories associated with it will also return. In cases where the owner was involved with other Love Notes as well, memories of all the Love Notes involved will return. The memories will return just by touching the Love Note, even without obtaining ownership of it.

Memories related to a Love Note are lost when its ownership is lost. But they may be regained by either obtaining ownership once again or by touching the Love Note.

Even if you do not actually possess the Love Note, you may still use it to full effect.

You may lend the Love Note to another person while maintaining its ownership. The borrower may lend it to yet another person as well.

Ownership or lending effects don’t happen if the human using it under the power of the note itself, nothing happens.

### III. The Love Goddess Eyes

A human who becomes the owner of a Love Note can, in exchange for half of his or her self control, likened to doubling their sex drive, acquire the power of the Love Goddess Eyes, which will enable him or her to see a human's name and the tread of fate connecting them to another individual when looking at them.

If you have traded for the Love Goddess Eyes, you will lose that power as well as the memories of the Love Note once you lose ownership of the note. Moreover, the half of your self control you traded away will not be restored.

An individual with Love Goddess Eyes can see the name and human by looking at that person's face and the thread of fate for them by envisioning the other party.

### IV The Love Godess Rules

#### 4.1 Relationship with the Owner

The human owner of a Love Note is possessed by its original Love owner until he or she either finds their true love upon which ownership returns to them or they die an ownership is transferred to the next person who finds the note.
