Thirteenth returning Jump Girl for Month of Pink; Tamao Tamamura from Shaman King.
-:-
Tamao was frozen in fear as she sat before Yoh-sama and Anna-sama. Did she do something wrong? Yoh-sama looked worried, but Anna-sama was glaring right at her.
"Anna, are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Yoh, turning to his fiancée.
"Of course it is, Yoh. Tamao needs to grow a backbone," replied the lady of the onsen.
This caused the pink-haired child to fidget in nervousness. "B-Backbone?"
"Hai, a backbone," stated Anna, focusing back on Tamao. "You're too timid and let others walk all over you!"
Tamao looked like she wanted to hide, but she didn't want to disappoint Yoh-sama. She wanted to make him proud!
"H-How do I get a backbone?" asked Tamao.
A pit formed in her stomach when Anna just looked at her like she asked a stupid question. When the blonde let out a sigh, she explained.
"I'm going to teach you, Tamao."
The younger girl tilted her head in confusion, while Yoh shuddered in fear.
"Maybe I should help her, Anna."
Both Tamao and Yoh flinched when Anna gave Yoh a glare.
"You're too laid back, Yoh! Anything you come up with won't help Tamao at all!" snapped the blonde.
"R-Right, sorry," replied the boy with a nervous laugh, as he rubbed the back of his head.
Tamao jumped slightly when Anna turned back to look at her.
"We're going to get started on your training now, so head outside! Do I make myself clear?"
"H-Hai, Anna-sama!"
The girl quickly made her way outside, not wanting to face Anna-sama's wrath. She just wished Yoh-sama could do the same as she heard him plead his case before getting shot down by Anna-sama.
She shuddered once more in fear at what was to come.

Slightly taking some liberties on this one, since Shaman King is officially no longer a Shonen Jump series, but the 32 manga volumes that I own with the Shonen Jump logo shows that you can't erase the past so easily.
