Maid Marian

**Maid Marian Cerise** (Japanese: **サクラギ春花** *Sakuragi Haruka*) was Robin Hood's maid and a past Harmony Warrior from Umemizumi, Kanto who lived in the Federal Past. She was also Chloe Cerise's ancestor, and was a spirited, adventurous young woman who was forced to hide behind a feminine exterior.

Marian's alter ego was **Sakura Heart**, the Harmony Warrior of springtime whose theme color was pink. She was a Flower/Plant/Bug Elemental who represented the Elemental of Spirit.

## Appearance

As a civilian, Marian was a young adult woman with long dark pink hair tied up in a ponytail at the very bottom and grass green eyes. She wore a long Shugadorimu-colored low-neckline dress with a pale pink bodice, puffy white sleeves with magenta cuffs, and a rose pink bow on the neckline. She also wore silver heels and white stockings. Her Harmony Mark was a pink sakura flower, with a white dot on each petal, and flanked in mint green butterfly wings.

As Sakura Heart, her hair became a pair of very large, thick, pale pink Chibiusa-like pigtails and her eyes turned mint green. On her head was a white headband with curled antennae. Her outfit consisted of a brighter pink top with spring green leaf-shaped sleeves, a short Shugadorimu's-face-colored scalloped skirt, almost knee-length white leggings, and pink socks with green geta sandals. She also had rose pink armwarmers. She had a pair of deep pink fairy wings on her back, with the tip of each wing colored green. Her earrings resembled cherries. Her Elemaximum Gauge was on her belly and while not drawn, her ChanMirror was in a carrying case on her waist.

## Personality

On the outside, Marian appeared to be a polite, quiet, obedient, feminine, and well-mannered woman who conformed to the sexist social norms of her time. In truth, however, she was actually spirited and adventurous and enjoyed the company of Bug-type Pokémon in her free time, even the "gross" ones. She hated being forced to act feminine, but knew society would not take that well in her day, so she usually kept quiet about her opinions and was terrified to stand up for herself.

## Magical abilities

Sakura Heart posessed enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly.

Sakura Heart, like a Florges, was able to draw power from flowers to form the energy into a concentrated attack. This attack was more powerful the more flowers there were nearby. She was able to create storms of sharp pink petals to attack an enemy and could create storms of sharp leaves as well. Sakura Heart was able to create hard energy flowers or hard energy leaves to use as a blunt weapon in battle. Sakura Heart also had incredible leg strength, as she was able to easily knock enemies to the ground with a single kick. Another ability of hers was the ability to fire paralyzing stingers at the enemy to temporarily paralyze them as well as being able to shoot sticky silk to hamper the enemy's movement. Sakura Heart could create fragrances as a distraction or to calm others.

Marian also knew some basic, first-level spells that all Harmony Warriors can use, such as telekinesis, transmuting objects, and fixing minor messes. Her magic aura was bubblegum pink in color.
