All I remembered at that time, I was 12 years old.

I woke up and found an egg on my bed.

"Huh? What are these?" Frantically, I pulled off the blanket and the egg was thrown up.

Panic took over me and I threw myself out to catch the falling egg. Nervously touching one with my index finger, it twitch and I jumped. It was yellow with an almost translucent white star.

"TIA! YOU'RE LATE FOR SCHOOL!"

I got back to reality and put on my uniform and took my egg carefully and put them in the bag.

Walking to school, I could not help thinking about the yellow egg.

What is in it? Why is there an egg? Is this normal? What's with the funny white star? Tormented by my thoughts, I sighed. Just then, Fate, my best friend dropped by me.

"Oh hi Tia-chan!"

"Hi Fate-chan!"

"You look really worried…did something happen?"

"Um…nothing much. Didn't sleep well…" I lied.

The bell finally rang after what seemed like eternity.

I yawned and stretched my hands. Collapsing back to the chair, I opened my bag and found the egg still the same. Hmmm…

I walked back home, pondering over the egg. The wind blew my brown hair and my bangs that was swept to the left. Suddenly sniffing the air, I found the smell of my favourite food: Taiyaki.

I immediately bought one and bit into the soft bit of sheer sweetness. The hot redbean paste burned my tongue but the sweetness was wonderful. I walked into a deserted pathway. Lost in my world of Taiyaki, I bumped into someone and dropped my beloved Taiyaki.

I looked up.

"Who are you supposed to be? Say sorry for messing my shirt, idiot!"

"Um…" I really did want to say 'it was your fault' but that would get me into bigger trouble.

"Say sorry!"

"Huh? Oh. I'm sorry…"

Suddenly, a small miniature figure flew to me.

"Hey Kari. This girl has an unhatched Chara."

"WHAT?" The blonde girl stared at me

"Um…" I stammered.

"This puny girl? Where is it! Hand it over NOW!"

Is she referring to my egg?

"NOW!"

"I…"

"My heart, UNLOCK!"

I squinted as bright light enveloped the place. What the hell is going on? Chara?

"Character Transformation! Rose Heart!"

The blonde girl's hair turned into two ponytails with curls at the end. Her blue eyes had a death stare. She was wearing a sleeveless mini-dress which was all red. She had a forked pink cape that hung over her shoulders. She had long red boots up till her knees.

"Bind thorns!"

Thorned vines grew from nowhere and took me by surprised. It grew at such a speed and I couldn't react. Two vines grabbed my ankles and more vines pulled each of my wrists tightly. I tried to scream but another vine tugged at my neck, preventing me from screaming.

"Rose Staff!"

The blonde girl headed towards me and I was engulfed in fear. What the hell is this? THORNS GROW OUT FROM NO WHERE. Is this some nightmare? This shouldn't be happened." Struggling against the vines, she waved the staff and I was struck against the tree heavily, my head spinning.

My vision blurred and I strained against the binds around my wrists. My egg…I could see her holding my egg…

I could never protect anything I had. I never had the courage to help anyone. These hands of mine, can function properly, and yet can't help anyone. This feeling. Hurt. I rather give my hands to someone else who knows how to use them… I just want to hold my hand out to others, to help. But I can't. I can't protect anything I have…

Driven by my strong feelings, I screamed "NOO! Don't touch it!" The vines broke free and the whole place was filled with white light.

Hello Tia-chan.

A similar chibi figure like the blonde girl's flew towards me. She had orange hair tied in a side ponytail with some hair left out. Her hairtie had the similar translucent white star on it. It had a beautiful yellow short-sleeved jacket with shimmering white material mini-dress. It wore futuristic white boots with tiny white wings on each shoe.

I'm Star. Nice to meet you!

"Wh-who are you..?"

I'm your Guardian Character. Your would-be-self. You wished for courage, the will to help others. I was born from that desire!

What. On. Earth?

All of a sudden, Fate came out.

"Stop stealing other's eggs you stupid girl!"

Fate was dressed in a lightblue sleeveless jacket and short denim shorts. (like Utau's Black Diamond)

Her pale yellow hair was pulled into two ponytails.
