Normal POV

Ran. Miki. Su. Dia.

Hinamori Amu.

"Magical Creatures by Tsukasa Amawaka."

A pink haired girl read aloud. She sighed softly, "He wrote a book about magical creatures? Idiot..." In truth, she thought this book might be interesting. Being known as the 'Cool & Spicy' girl of Seiyo Academy, kept her from chattering with other kids about fantasy things and mystical animals.

Despite being slightly annoyed that the book was by her very own headmaster, she opened the green object.

There are many magical creatures. Small, big, scary, sweet. Some 'powers' dissapear as the child or adult gets older, or when it is not needed anymore, others stay for a lifetime.

She thought about Guardian Characters. 'Tsukasa said they go back into our hearts when we reach adulthood or when we acieve our dream' She knew one day they would leave her, and she'd have to get over it, but for now, she should treasure her Guardian Characters as much as she can.

I, myself, had one as a child. A Guardian Character, they are born from your dreams and will eventually go back into your hearts. All kids hold an egg in their soul... the egg of our hearts... our would be selves... yet... unseen...

There are also other types of mysterious powers. One for both children and adults are Alices. (;P) People with this kind of magic go to a school called Alice Academy and are not allowed to leave the school unless there Alicedissapears.

Alice type

Latent Type (潜在能力, Senzai-nōryoku?): Latent Alices are the most common in the school, and involve powers connected to ESP abilities. This is the most well-documented class. Examples: Teleportation and Telekinesis.Technical Type (技術, Gijutsu?): Technical Alice types appear when the individual performs a certain activity, such as cooking, drawing, etc. The Alices in this type are based on technology and research fields. Examples: Plant Manipulation, Invention and Cooking.Somatic Type (体質, Taishitsu?): Unlike other classes, this type manifests itself physically. The Somatic Alices are based on the bodies of humans, animals, and other living things, and appear in the form of a pheromone or physical ability. Examples: Super Speed and Human Pheromone.Special Ability (特力, Toku-ryoku?): This class is essentially for students with Alices that don't fit easily into any of the other three classes. Their powers are different and the class is mixed. Some of the rarest Alices belong to this class. Examples: Shadow manipulation, Doppelganger Alice, and Nullification Alice.Dangerous Ability (危険能, Kiken-nōryoku?): This is considered to be an extra type; basically, the Alices in this class are so strong that they are a threat to the school. This class is very different from the others and could also be described as an occult. They are used by the elementary principal and Persona. Examples: Stealing Alice, Mark of Death Alice, and the Fire Alice. Alice shape

Every Alice is categorized as one of four shapes, which specify how much of it can be used and how often.

Childhood: The Alice slowly appears and disappears as the child grows into an adult.Diffuse: The Alice is always available, but at a relatively low power level.Intermittent: The Alice can only be used for a short period at any time, but at a relatively high power level.Limitless: The Alice can be used as often and as much as desired, but impacts the user's life with each use and can even kill them if overused.Star-ranking

A star-ranking is the evaluation system that the Academy uses to judge a student's schoolwork, Alice level and attitude. There are five rankings, which are indicated by the number of gold stars on a student's collar.

No-Star: Students who are below average. This rank is reserved mainly for children, and is not enough to graduate beyond the Elementary School Division.Single: Students who are approximately average. Most of the students in the Elementary School Division have this rank. Required to graduate from the Elementary School Division.Double: Students who are above average, but still are not exceptionally advanced at either their studies or use of their Alice. Required to graduate from the Middle School Division.Triple: Students who are usually considered "overachievers" and tend to excel at their studies, use of their Alice, or both. Required to graduate from the High School Division.Special: Students who are considered the best of the best, signified by a label in the shape of a star enclosed in a circle. Students of this rank excel tremendously in their Alice and, if they care, their studies. Also known as the "Principal students".

Each star ranking has its own monthly allowance rate):

No-Star: 5 Rabbits (equal to about 500 yen or 5 US dollars)Single: 30 Rabbits (equal to about 3000 yen or 30 US dollars)Double: 50 Rabbits (equal to about 5000 yen or 50 US dollars)Triple: 100 Rabbits (equal to about 10000 yen or 100 US dollars)Special: 300 Rabbits (equal to about 30000 yen or 300 US dollars) Control device

Control devices are specially designed prevention devices made for a particular person. These devices are worn on the head, hand, or other body part and can emit tracking signals. Each kind of device has sealing abilities that lock a person's Alice within the device. There are also control devices used for punishment purposes, such as the Cat Mask. If a person wearing one of these disobeys the higher-up, they are immediately punished with a pulsating electric shock throughout the body. These devices can only be removed by the person who placed it on.

My favorite though, is the +Anima. Some humans have an unusual gift that grants them the ability to morph one or more of their body parts, such as limbs, into a form of an animal's body part. Some are capable of even more radical changes, such as growing wings or full-body transformation. The transformation processes are very fast, and occur at the user's will. When inactive, the morphed areas revert back to normal, leaving the person's clothing and body completely untouched. The only visual mark of this ability appears on the body of the person, in the form of a black tattoo-like marking. Occasionally, the user bears some behavioral characteristics of their animal, but this is not very common. +Anima are not treated kindly by the normal humans. Therefore, when some are treated bad enough or have a taken over neglected feeling, their anima often takes over them.

She stopped reading, these +Anima sounded really interesting. She wondered why they were called +Anima, then it hit her! Person + Animal. She wanted to meet one, to see one in real life! "It must be so fun to have one..." She mumbled to herself.

Her name? Amu Hinamori.

Quickly looking around Amu stuffed the large book in her bag, "Ran!" She hollered. A small pink fairy flew through the library door with three other fairies trailing behind. Pink, blue, green, yellow, heart, spade, clover, diamond. "Go, go AMU-CHAN! GANBARE, AMU-CHAN!" Ran cheered noticing Amu's choice of book.

Miki, the spade chara, inhaled deeply. "Why are you reading this book, Amu?" She asked fingering the letters on the front. "W-well it l-looked interesting so I-I decided to r-read it." She stuttered, blushing a bright red from embarassment.

"I think it's good Amu's doing something out of character -desu!" Su twirped, floating by humming a soft tune. Nodding Dia grinned cheekily, "Yes Amu, it's a step closer to being who you want to be."

"A step closer, huh?"

Crazy-

I thought since Calm was doing her own story with the help of ToxicMemory, I'd do my own too! I hope you like it!!!! Sorry it's short though, I'll try to make the next chapter longer!
