Nijino Nijiko (anime)

**Nijino Nijiko** (Japanese: **にじのにじこ**) (***Elizabeth Storybook*** *in the English dub*) is one of the main characters of *Shining Bonds a La Mode* and *Shining Bonds: Hopes and Dreams*. She is an optimistic, forgiving 13 year-old girl from Hau'oli City.

Although she normally lacks the ability to transform, when needed, her alter ego is **Angel Wing**, the angel of hope. She is a Light Elemental (which is usually inactive) who represents the Elemental of Hope.

## Appearance

Nijiko has *tsurime* brown eyes (resembling those of Hiiragi Kagami from *Lucky Star*) and chest-length multicolored hair worn in a topknot half-bun style. Naturally, it is curly and poofy, but she usually straightens it. She wears a sky blue t-shirt, a pleated baby blue skirt, and black heels with rainbow-patterned socks. She always carries a small rainbow-striped satchel (which is her Akumatized object in "Dragonet and Tikki's Odd Friendship) around her shoulder that Rotom or Shitasakan-chan usually ride in. Her Harmony Mark (a rainbow flower bordered in white with a sky blue shooting star-like tail), is on the bottom edge of the top of whatever outfit she is wearing or on the waist for outfits like dresses or yukatas.

As Angel Wing, her hair becomes much longer and the colors become pastel-colored, though the bun is gone and her eyes don't change. She is (detaillessly) nude (other than her ChanMirror magically attached to her hip, without the need of a strap like the other Angelix Warriors) and has a pair of large white angel wings on her back. On her forehead is a blue star marking. In the dub, however, she has a dress, gloves, and barefoot sandals edited over her. Redgardless of the dub, her Elemaximum Gauge is in the center of her chest.

## Personality

Nijiko is a very kind person who cares deeply for her friends and Pokémon, but she can sometimes be immature, pushy, or reckless and impulsive at times. She is reluctant to harm anybody, being very optimistic and believing everybody has a better nature, never wanting to kill or harm somebody and always trying to find a way to heal them. She is also very forgiving and will always give somebody a second chance.

## Magical abilities

She normally doesn't have the ability to transform and only has one spell, Ocular Flashlight, but she can use the Elemental bottles, can hear Pokémon talk like all Chosen Ones, and can also pass through Alfea's barrier that keeps non-magical beings out.

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

Her main power when powered up is light-based powers - she can fire beams of multicolored light at the enemy to attack them from. She can also fire orbs of light as well to attack, and she can fly extremely fast, being able to fly almost as fast as Rainbow Dash. Like Rainbow Dash, if Angel Wing flies fast enough, she can create a sonic rainboom.

Her other major power is the ability to free somebody from corruption, brainwashing or mind control by grabbing their hand - however, she must make contact with the target for this to work and can't just shoot a laser of the Light of Hope at somebody. This power even appears to extend to turning artificially-created evil beings into non-evil normal humans, as shown when she gave Necrosis (an evil robot) another chance and turned her into an organic human who gained the power to become Angel Surgeon. Like Kou, she is considered to be one of the most powerful angels and also one of the most powerful Magic Warriors in existence as her power derives from the legendary Light of Hope itself, the infinite power of hope and positive emotions that resides in the hearts and minds of all life. However, she can't transform and use her powers whenever she wants and only is given her ChanCards when her powers are necessary, the heroes need to get somewhere quickly by flying, or during especially difficult battles.

Only when powered up, her magic aura is sky blue in color.

## Pokémon

* Rotom
* Shitasakan (nicknamed Baburu-chan but "nickname-nicknamed" Shitasakan-chan)
* Showers (Awafuro)
* Cherrim (Aoi-chan)
* Powalen (Powalie-chan)

## Trivia

* Like Momoka, she never keeps her Pokémon in their Poké Balls and always has her entire party following her around.
* She is naked when transformed as a symbol of her purity, as in Japan the nude body is seen as pure, but the PCI didn't care due to differing cultural attitudes and thus she is edited to wear clothes in the dub.
	+ This is despite the fact that she is detailless even in the original version.

* It is confirmed that Nijiko is both ace *and* aro, meaning she doesn't feel romantic love, only platonic love.

* Despite this, she does have a daughter, Nijino Natsuko, in SBALMNG, but she has no boyfriend or husband whatsoever, nor has she even mentioned one.
