Thanks for all of the beautiful entries you guys made for my last challenge!
Objective
I would like for you to somehow incorporate the theme of 'magical girl/boy' into your entry. Regardless of whether or not the character(s) in your card are true magical girl(s)/boy(s), the character(s) should at least be dressed as, hold some recognizable accessory, have a power, or have a transformation that resembles that of a magical-type character. This means I don't want a card of Sailor Moon in her bathing suit acting like a normal teenager when I obviously want her in her magical sailor fuku kicking villain butt.
Still not familiar with the theme?
Theme
Magical Girl- Magical girl stories feature young girls with superhuman abilities, forced to fight evil and to protect the Earth.
If you need some ideas, you can also find a list of magical girl anime and manga here.
