Cordial Heart

**Cordial Heart** (Japanese: **きゅんきゅん** *Kyunkyun*) is one of the main characters of the *Rosie Magica* arc. She is a compassionate and understanding 14 year-old mermaid from Kanto's bay.

## Bio

### Appearance

**Cordial Heart** is a young mermaid with dark red hair (which becomes sparkly and slightly longer with a fade of brighter red after Stage 3) reaching her upper back and purple eyes. She has light pinkish-purple seashell otoliths where a human's ears would be, and red fins on her elbows with stripes, as well as a red tail with a brighter red fluke. The symbol on her Power Necklace is a hot pink four-point star overlapping a pale coral orange four-point star, with a pale pink heart in the middle of them and flanked by two red and white pills.

As a civilian, she wears a red crop top with light yellow fabric at the bottom and a dark red and orange chest bow that has a white ruffle below it.

As an adult in the series finale, she is seen wearing a bright red, off-shoulder crop top with puffy sleeves and pale pink stitching down the middle.

### Personality

Cordial Heart is compassionate and caring and is always there to listen to others' problems. She almost always puts others before herself and always tries to help any way she can even if her help ends up causing more harm. However, she does seem to disregard their feelings sometimes if she insists on helping them even if they don't want or need it. When not near a body of water, she and her brother and their Pokémon are usually carried around in a technomagic water-filled pot that Melody bought from a store and carries around, which is similar to the WPAP and reminiscent of the Mermaid Aqua Pot from TRPC.

### Relationships

* **TBA**: Her older brother and fellow Magi who she cares about a lot. Despite her being younger, he is also shown to admire her compassion and empathy.
* **Jewel**: Her Dratini who she also cares about a lot, even when she eventually evolves.

### Etymology

* Her Japanese name **Kyunkyun** is a Japanese onomatopoeia for the chest tightening from strong feelings of love.

## Magical Abilities

She does not transform unless needed due to most battles taking place on land, but as a magical girl, Cordial Heart possesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, and invulnerability to physical damage. As she is a mermaid, she naturally has the power to swim and breathe underwater, though she can still breathe above water just fine. At the start, she and her brother have not yet mastered a temporary legs spell, so before then, the Light of Hope once gives the two legs despite the fact that the effect wore off in 20 minutes. Her magic aura is deep wine red in color.

Though she *technically* has combat power and weapons, she is more of a Homura/Julia-type support fighter unlike her brother, and can restrain enemies in blood vessel-like bindings. She is also able to induce severe dizziness in enemies, can make the water red so it is harder for them to see, can release pulses that reduce somecreature's will to fight, and can release red cells that swim through the water (or air) and surround and attack them on her behalf. Like a very few Messiahs (though most can't), she is also able to expose the "soul" of a Vertex without the need of the Sealing Ritual and can destroy it by grabbing and binding it with blood vessel-like ropes.

Since the time she awakened her magic and earned her Power Necklace, even untransformed, her blood is also magically altered so that it can be safely donated to anycreature regardless of their blood type, as shown in one chapter when a rude and uncaring Trainer takes a battle with a few Magis' Pokémon *way* too far and in the next scene, they mention that they got a transfusion from her blood offscreen.

## Pokémon

* **Jewel** - A Dratini who is Cordial Heart's partner Pokémon and eventually evolves.
* **Meringue** - An energetic Luvdisc who she owns.

## Magical Warrior

Cordial Heart is the Warrior of (benevolent) Blood. She is a Love Elemental who represents the Element of Empathy. Her theme color is red, and her only known weapons so far are an electrocardiogram-like tablet used to release her support attacks, and a stethoscope she can use to reduce somecreature's willingness to fight.

## Trivia

* Despite being a Love Elemental, Cordial Heart is aromantic - the only love she feels is platonic love, such as that for her friends and her brother. Her powers also do not literally revolve around love.
* Originally, she was going to be a Fire Elemental, but this was scrapped.
* Similar to Charlotte Kauffman, Cordial Heart's title is something traditionally seen as evil or terrifying. However, like her, she is fully on the side of good.
* Due to the Incubators being kidnapped prior to *Rosie Magica*, she contracts with Trinity Dusk (Perserver!Eric), while her brother ends up contracting with Perserver!Robin instead.
