>You are Byakuren Hijiri, 18 years old, resident of the city of Mayoiga, caretaker (owner) of Rin Kaenbyou, resident of the Moonside apartments, and third year student of Mayoiga High. A few days ago, you were the most popular girl in school, one of the most well-known and liked girls around town. And then you touched a strange doll, and saw a world not your own. That was the day that everything changed, and you became Magical Lotus, the Hero of the Heart.
>The last couple of days have been something of a roller coaster between feelings of defeat and victory. Discovering Patchouli and Sanae were both bound to, and empowered by, two of the Champions, and subsequently failing to separate Patchouli from the Water Champion was not a pleasant experience, to say the least. Compounding this issue was the fact that the Champion herself escaped in the process. The only consolation you took from this was the fact that Louise did not take advantage of the chance she had to destroy you. You cling to some hope that she, at least, may be able to one day look beyond her mission.
>But on the victory front was Reisen. Not so much that she joined the ranks of you magical girls, but that you freed her from her black-hearted master, Madame Knowledge, and took her for your own. And in the process you may have done the same for the old mage's sister, Alisaie, a gentle woman who is, for now at least, staying with Lily White's family, away from her domineering sister. For her sake, you hope she doesn't go back until and unless the elder Knowledge changes. Despite your proclivity for hope, you're just not sure that will ever happen.
>And then there was your battle with Motormaster and their gang. A clear victory for the good guys, and in more ways than one. Rather than simply killing the evil-doers, you removed from them the corruptive influences that had driven them to evil in the first place. For Motormaster, this meant destroying the evil splinter that had rested within them, the same kind of splinter you destroyed a few nights ago at the Tiger Shrine. For the biker gang Motormaster had been lording over, you fundamentally changed their very nature and the Blood Jewels that were a part of them. Because you gave them the choice to do good now, you can't be 100% certain that that's what they'll do, but they have a freedom now they didn't have before.
>And while they were exploring their new paths in life, you were exploring something else entirely: the charms and skills of one Lily White. And before she left your apartment, you and Rin were both more than satisfied by the little blonde's talents.
>A pleasant evening's sleep later, you awaken to the sounds of puttering. Drowsily opening one eyelid, you see Rin going about your room, tidying things away. Things you and she neglected to tidy up last night, as you had other things on your mind.
