[b][color=darkturquoise]• Name:[/color][/b] Tama Miyara

[b][color=darkturquoise]• Title:[/color][/b] Angelite

[b][color=darkturquoise]• Age:[/color][/b] 17

[b][color=darkturquoise]• Emblem:[/color][/b] A blue gem embedded into the middle of her upper back. As she transforms, it glows and more crystals spread out from it to form a pair of majestic angel wings.

[b][color=darkturquoise]• Divine Arm:[/color][/b] The many crystals that float behind her back. While the "wings" do not allow her to fly, she can use them to attack and defend.

[b][color=darkturquoise]• Magic:[/color][/b] Crystal manipulation is the core of Angelite's magic.
[b]- Crystalline Hail:[/b] With a sweep of her wings, Tama sends forth a volley of sharp rocky fragments created from magical energy.
[b]- Formation:[/b] This allows Tama to make crystals grow across her skin, forming sturdy armour that while slowing her movements, provides considerable defense. As pictured, she can apply it to just her hands and legs to boost punches and kicks.
[b]- Refraction:[/b] Tama crosses her wings in front of herself, and a diamond-like barrier appears, blocking attacks and sending them back at her opponent. She can only do this once every few minutes.

[b][color=darkturquoise]• Background:[/color][/b] To be considered truly valuable, a gemstone has to be chipped at and polished until standardised facets replace its raw unique shape. Much like Tama, who grew up in a wealthy and esteemed family. She received everything she wanted, as long as she lived up to her parents' ideals. Being respected for who she was took a back seat to reflecting well on them.

This led her to seek out the companionship of people who saw through the surface. As a child at school, she gravitated towards the outcast kids, people she could be genuine towards and expect the same honesty from. Over the years, though, this got her labelled as an oddball herself. The taunts of her peers made her feel undervalued all over again, and the worst thing was, some of her friends joined the no-goods for their own protection. Gradually, their treatment wore her down to the point that she did the same.

Despite the guilt, she stood there and did nothing as the crowd she mingled with made others' lives miserable. Once or twice, she tried to confront them, asking them if they were going a little too far, but fear of losing them made her back down. The turning point came one day when she found out the consequences of their actions - one of her former friends had suffered a full on nervous breakdown and been moved to a different school.

Since then, she flat out quit having anything to do with the people responsible. They'd been just as bad as her family all along, caring only about the surface and not the substance. No matter what she did now, though, nothing could make up for what she'd done, or rather what she hadn't done. Or so she thought, until to her utter surprise, a TV headed feline approached her, giving her the chance to right her wrongs by protecting humanity as a magical girl.

From the start, she's been doing her utmost to help rid the city of Nightmares. Now, however, she views being a magical girl through a rather less rosy lens. One by one, she's watched her once-loyal team fall into darkness. Finding herself alone more often than not, fighting a seemingly futile battle against ever-growing hordes of Nightmares, she's starting to understand the dark girls' reasoning better than she'd like to.

Yet she stays firmly on the side of light. She knows the consequences of selfishness, of inaction, of mixing with the wrong crowd. No matter how many people betray her, she won't repeat the mistake of doing the same to others... will she?

[b][color=darkturquoise]• Inventory:[/color][/b] A friendship bracelet, given to her a long time ago by one of the people she grew distant from. A reminder not to do so again.

[color=darkturquoise]"Great. Just freaking great."[/color]

In her physically and emotionally battered state, it had been all Tama could do to drag herself along the path home after the beating from her former ally, but she hadn't been able to ignore the writhing ooze in the distance. Just as always, the Nightmares had reacted to her presence like thieves to a precious jewel, for reasons that now eluded her. She couldn't exactly call herself a beaming example of positivity any more. Yet here she was, drawing them close, then spinning and striking with an onslaught of jagged rock shards.

Her muscles seared in protest as heavy stony layers coated her fists, but she kept pushing, more crystals jutting from the shells as she punched. Had her armour always had this many spikes? Should she be worried? No time to think. Black gunk sprayed over the gems, stealing their sparkle as she tore through the foul creatures that attacked as one.

Did mindless monsters have a better sense of camaraderie than humans? If so, were people even worth protecting?

Panting, she stood over the last Nightmare. The dying beast squirmed, its substance trickling from the gem points pinning it to the ground. [i]Just one.[/i] There it was again, the thought that intruded more and more often. [i]What harm can absorbing just one do?[/i]

She'd regain her strength. She'd do a better job of defending the city. And maybe, just maybe, she'd be a more competent teammate to the few remaining light girls, giving them the hope they needed not to lose themselves to darkness...

She stepped forward, raised her hand, then froze. The sight of the friendship bracelet brought back memories. A schoolgirl leaving the bathroom with a tear-stained face, glimpsing her, hurrying away as if she wished they'd never known each other. Tama shuddered, letting her hand fall to her side as she watched the Nightmare dissolve into nothing.

No, she wasn't going to take that risk. Not just yet. Not ever.
