Magical Girl

*Some sections of this article may be under construction at the moment.*

**Magical Girls** (魔法少女) are humans or animals that have the ability to transform into Magical Girls that exist in the *Magical Girl Raising Project* universe.

## General Information

Only beings with magical potential can be chosen as candidates. Though most are female humans, some candidates can be male or animals. While the majority of candidates are school-age, some are older or younger. Magical potential is also seen to be hereditary, as there have been entire Magical Girl families. It is said that those who believe more in magic or are fans of Magical Girls have higher magical potential. The criteria for the potential to be a mage and a Magical Girl are different.

One important thing about being a Magical Girl is to never reveal their true identities to anyone besides other Magical Girls, as this would, in turn, forfeit their right to become a Magical Girl and have their memories of anything relating to the Magical Kingdom be erased. However, exposing their identities to other Magical Girls might also prove to be dangerous as one is revealing their weakness to the other and those with evil intentions might be able to hunt them down more easily, as shown in Unmarked.

While a magical girl can have their memories erased, it has been shown that they can be able to get some of their memories as a magical girl back, or are able to feel certain vibes from their erased memories, although it is unknown what is needed to fully regain their memories.

### Selection Test

A **Selection Test** (選抜試験) is a test where Magical Girls compete to enter and become an official member of the Magical Kingdom.

Humans are chosen to become real Magical Girls by the Magical Kingdom. They can go through a series of trials of defeating monsters to win or collecting magical candies by helping people. The examiners, who choose who can become a Magical Girl, are free to hold their examinations as they see fit. They each have their own methods to judge Magical Girls and decide the winners based on certain values they seek. Most examinations are usually a type of contest in which the winner receives the honor of becoming a member of the Magical Kingdom while the rest have their memories and powers erased and sent back to their normal lives. The known selection test examiners are:

* Cranberry
* Keek
* Pythie Frederica
* Pastel Mary

## Characteristics

Magical Girls have varying characteristics. They all have powers that they can use for better or for worse.

### Design

* **Appearance**
Magical Girls are said to be the ideal versions of their human counterparts. All of them share the appearance of children, teenagers, and in some cases, go up to their early twenties, which is considered "ancient" for a Magical Girl. They are described as having strikingly beautiful and perfectly aligned features.
* **Outfits**
All of them also possess a unique outfit upon transformation (with exceptions) which is considered their soul (metaphorically). Their outfit could just be about anything, including futuristic armor, uniforms (for school or for certain jobs). They will always feel comfortable in their outfit and maneuver normally no matter how excessive they may look.
* **Names**
Their names are also customizable such as a generic Magical Girl name, a human name, a historical figure's name, etc. Magical Girls can change their name by sending a request to the Magical Kingdom, although not all requests will be successful. It's unsure what criteria are needed for a Magical Girl to successfully change their name.

### Ability

Magical Girls are considered superhuman. They have abnormally enhanced physical strength and agility. They are able to fall from a 30 meter building and land safely without getting hurt. Magical girls are considered so strong that even if they train in normal buildings, it will come crashing down. A Magical Girl will have an unlimited amount of ammo if they possess a disposable weapon that is designed to be thrown onto their enemies (bullets, shurikens, etc.). They will not be required to reload nor restock.

* **Resistance**
Magical Girls do not suffer from diseases or toxins, and manmade weapons are mostly ineffective. However, this only applies to the non-magical version of it as they can still be harm by a magical version of it unless a Magical Girl has some kind of resistance or immunity against it. Their bodies are also more reliable and able to resist wounds that would cause great pain for humans.
* **Strength**
Among the Magical Girls, there is a difference in strength and durability. While some of them can simply shrug off an attack, for others, the attack could be fatal. Even the weakest Magical Girls have physical capabilities exceeding normal humans', such as being able to send a normal human flying with just a simple slap to the face.
* **Speed**
A Magical Girl's speed is not just determined by their agility but also by their senses and reaction time. They are able to react naturally as fast as a blink of an eye. Because their reaction is much faster than the average human’s, a single second a human takes to act is a huge time margin for a Magical Girl to act. Most notably, a human attempting to take out a Magical Phone to transform is enough time for a Magical Girl to act a thousand times in this time frame. This speed also applies to their eyesight, as Magical Girls can easily react and follow the trajectory of a bullet or read at extremely rapid speeds. Magical girls can move a distance of two-hundred yards instantaneously. Due to the properties of a Magical Girl's costume, they are able to run faster than any human vehicle without damaging their outfit. However, when wearing standard human clothes, the speed of a Magical Girl is enough to entirely damage human clothing and protection from its intensity alone.
* **Health**
They also do not possess basic human needs, such as hunger, thirst, sleep, or expelling waste, But still need to breath though it is possible for them to drift off from boredom, and they can regenerate faster by eating. Ancient Magical Girls do need food to survive, however, because they were made before the updates that got rid of hunger were put in place.
* **Temperature**
Magical Girls are naturally resistant to extreme temperatures and weather conditions, including both heat and cold.
* **Healing**
Most wounds a Magical Girl sustains can be healed after they detransform. Their costumes also share this regenerative effect, and some items that are a part of their attire will reappear even if they are thrown away.
* **Age**
Magical Girls' human forms continue to age even while transformed. If they were to detransform, they could suddenly die of old age.
* **Vision**
A Magical Girl's eyesight is also significantly better, allowing them to see miles ahead even in situations where it's cloudy or dusty. They are able to see in detail and make out shape and sizes. As mentioned in the "Speed" section, this also includes being able to see every bullet that is fired. Their eyesight also comes with night vision, which allows them to see as clear as day. Due to the difference between humans and Magical Girls, a Magical Girl that is walking normally could be considered as walking extremely fast or, as Miss Marguerite said, *"moving at an unimaginable speed"* from a human's point of view.
* **Mental**
Certain Magical Girls may also have a confidence boost upon transformation due to their abilities as a Magical Girl. As such, they may also develop a different personality. Their mental strength is also much stronger compared to their human-self. If they were to be nervous or in a panic, they could calm themselves by transforming. However, if a Magical Girl is knocked out and faints or become unconscious, they will automatically detransform back to their human form. The same applies if they're dead.
* **Vocal**
The voices of Magical Girls are also often altered upon transformation. This includes, but not limited to changes in pitch and tone. Their voices usually get much sweeter and are able to chew on food at a much faster pace.
* **Magic**
All Magical Girls have one unique special ability. While they can be described in only a few words, they often have a myriad of different uses. Magical Girl abilities can manifest themselves in items. Some of these items can only be used effectively by their owners, while others can be used by anyone, although the skill won't be as good as the original. Sometimes the magic of the ability can remain even after the user has passed away. In the novel series, this ability is shown to evolve and in some cases change depending on the personality of its user.

### Children of Cranberry

The **Children of Cranberry**, or **Cranberry's Children** (クラムベリーの子供達) in the original Japanese release, are Magical Girls that went through and survived Cranberry's selection test. Cranberry's test was infamous in the Magical Kingdom due to her methods of conducting her test. She would choose and gather a large number of Magical Girls and have them all kill one another until one Magical Girl remained standing. Depending on the test, Cranberry would act as both the examiner as well as one of the participants. This would allow her to kill the other participants and quicken the test. The survivor would have her memory of the entire event erased by Fav after she passed the selection test, with the exception of Melville. This cycle of her test would continue until she met her demise in *Unmarked (Arc 1)*.

Eventually, when the Magical Kingdom took notice of this incident, they started to investigate and fire those who had either followed her footsteps, helped her during the selection test or had a connection to her. These Magical Girls would be kicked out of the Magical Kingdom and have their magic stripped away.

Due to the survivors' harsh experiences, the Magical Kingdom decided to let them live a peaceful life and tries not to interfere with their magic-related work with their everyday lives. This would not last long as Keek, who disagrees with the handling of Cranberry's test and claiming that her winners are not true Magical Girls, decided to re-examine them. She would create the Cyber World using her magic and dragged all of Cranberry's Children into her selection test. Eventually, the survivors would have their memories of Cranberry be returned to them, with the exception of Lapis Lazuline, as she was mistaken for her mentor. who was an actual survivor.
