Magical Girls Explained By Silver~Chan

#53: Eternal Sakura

Hello Everyone today we are going to talk about not really a magical girl from Magia Record but an Uwasa with Magical girl capabilities, that being Eternal Sakura also known as Rumor of the 10,000 Year Sakura, so let's begin.

(General Info)

Eternal Sakura is a 17 year old by appearance but is less than a 1 year old Balance type Uwasa, her eyes are pink in color with her hair being white with tones of Pink and Blue tips, She is 165cm in Height, she has no blood type.

She does not have a soul gem since she is not a magical girl, her weapon is a sword made of flower petals which generate from a bracelet on her right arm.

Since she is not a magical girl and is a Uwasa, she does not have a witch and Doppel, her powers and abilities are not known, and she has no wish, again this being because she is not a full-fleg magical girl.

Her Known relative would be Nemu Hiiragi who created her, and her origins are as a Rumor, she attends school at Minaminagi Liberty Academy in the 11th Grade, and has ties with Kamihama Magia Union.

She has the element of light.

(Summary)

An Uwasa who awaited the convergence of four girls at her side so that she could burst into full bloom. She is now able to exit her Rumor, thanks to some edits to it she can now, but she lacks common knowledge and others see her as unusual. She always wants to return to her mountain or be with the people she loves.

(Side Story)

Sakura wasn't born as the Uwasa of the Eternal Sakura. She was born from Iroha Tamaki's words when three girls asked her for a story. In a flashback at the hospital, Iroha finishes telling the story of the sakura to Ui Tamaki, Touka Satomi, and Nemu Hiiragi. The three of them love the story as it inspires them to keep going. Nemu loves it so much she's decided to write it down in her notebook, fleshing out the story a bit. Nemu then narrates the story as one she heard from a treasured friend with a few embellishments added from her:

"In the woods surrounding Hokuyo Ward lies a vast, grassy meadow. A big sakura tree grows in the center of the meadow, surrounded by clear blue skies, and there, a girl stands next to it. It's a special place where the girl promised to reunite with her three best friends, who were patients in a hospital. When they get better, they'll all meet there to play in that meadow. The girl continues to wait for that day, and when that day arrives the big sakura tree will blossom in celebration of the reunion of the four girls. No one knows who named the tree, but the tree is called the 10,000 year-old Sakura of Promises." Nemu then writes down the names of the four girls.

That was the beginning of Sakura's life in the pages of Nemu's notebook. She wasn't fully conscious yet since she was just a story. One day she was moved from the notebook to a book she didn't recognize when Nemu rewrote her story into that of Rumor. No longer was she just a fuzzy idea but an actual being who existed thanks to Nemu breathing her own life force into her. Not just her, but many of the stories that Iroha, Ui, Touka, and Nemu had created within the Kamihama of their imaginations were also given new forms within that book. They were aware of each other previously when they were in the world of the notebook, but they had never met face-to-face before.

Inside the notebook the various Rumors begin to talk to each other as they realize they are no longer ideas but actual beings. The Uwasa of the Commoner's Horse can't believe they're all real now. The Uwasa of the Chelation Land Ferris Wheel greets the Uwasa of the Anonymous AI since she seems so familiar. Each of the rumors introduce themselves in turn, explaining who they are.
