Winged Goddessess-Alyssa Smith/Cherish Devil

Well, we've talked about our main character. Now, let's get to her (eventual) best friend; Alyssa Smith.

Alyssa is sixteen by the time the series starts, and she has actually been attending the same school as Ilyssa, but has gone unnoticed towards the blonde girl until now. Alyssa's home-life is not exactly typical; her mother died when she was very little, and while her father works to support his family, he's kind of lazy. As a result, Alyssa had to become the woman of the house; cooking and cleaning while attending to her little sisters needs. Despite being mature and responsible when it comes to her family, Alyssa is very much the anti-Ilyssa when it comes to school grades. That's not to say that she's  dumb, as she is actually quite intelligent. The problem is that she doesn't really apply herself the same way Ilyssa does, and is therefore pretty much a C student. In continuing with the anti-Ilyssa theme, she is actually fairly good at Ilyssa weakest subjects; gym and home economics.

Being a natural Cherish Goddess, Alyssa has come to Earth in search of her world's greatest treasure; the Cherish Wish Chariot. She sees this as the perfect opprutuinity to become the town's Champion Goddess, she goes to earth with her sister and advisor Lady Doggykins. Due to her costume design, she adopts the codename Cherish Devil. As Cherish Devil, Alyssa has access to lava magic. Already a skilled athlete, her enhanced strength in Goddess mode enables her to use those skills to their full potential. Sadly, she has a rather nasty side-effect ability. If she is made angry in Goddess mode, her hair will catch fire. Sometimes, this may cause a dramatic effect. Though most times, it becomes a nuissance for her. For her weapon, Alyssa has been given a pair of hoolahoops, which she can use to  concentrate her lava magic into much more direct attacks. In addition, her weapons have some unique abilities; their size is adjustable, and they can even be turned into long staffs when needed.

As far as relationships go, Alyssa was probably closest to her mom than anyone else when she was alive. She admired her mom dearly, and wished to be like her. When her mother died, Alyssa decided that it was her responsibility to become the town's Champion Goddess. After all, it was her mother's territory. This is why she is so frustrated with Ilyssa to begin with; not only is she mortal, but she is stepping on Alyssa's unofficial territory. As a result, she does all she can to try and trip her up during training. Eventually though, she overcomes this once she starts to see Ilyssa's softer side, and can't help but find herself starting to like the initally stand-offish blonde girl. Alyssa is also very close to her darling little sister Julia, who is roughly six years younger than she is. Alyssa mostly lets her do what she wants, being confident in her sisters choices and behaviour. But whenever she sees Julia trying to act or behave in a manner not suitbale for her age, she immediately turns into a standard nagging mom.

As far as personality goes, Alyssa is somewhere between being a girl and a woman. As stated before, she is fairly mature when it comes to her family and responsibilities. However, she has a tendency to be selfish, only wanting to further her goals at other people's expenses (such as Ilyssas intial threat to her). As a result, this makes her both arrogant, and overly egotistical and competitive. She is not overly impulsive however. Being a more experienced fighter, she can be very observant. Thus, only becoming implusive in panicky positions, or if someone eggs her on a bit too much. Alyssa does have her soft side though, being a very relaxed and laid back sister figure when not engaged in sports. Unlike Ilyssa, she is in touch with what's most important in life regarding yourself and relationships, even if she has her own issues she needs to work out. As a result, god forbid if you ever hurt her loved ones. Doing so will unleash a nasty short-fuse the likes of which one will tend to regret much later. In addition to sports, the only other hobby she takes any pride in is cooking. Of all the dishes she has made and created herself, her favorite HAS to be Beef Salad, the very first dish she ever created herself.

Well, that's Alyssa. Next time, we'll be talking about her little sister; Julia, A.K.A. Cherish Shpynix (and before you say anything, yes, I'm pretty sure that's spelt incorrectly).

Winged Goddesses-Ilyssa Stalkhold/Cherish Angel

For the next couple of posts, I've decided to introduce the three main characters to a little project I've been working on for awhile now called Winged Goddesses.  What is it about? It's basically the story of a young girl, who gets drafted quite literally into a magical girl adventure against her will. Through this journey, she ultimately learns what it means to live with the mind of an adult, and the heart of a child. It was originally suppose to be an affectionate parody of magical girl stories, but I upon realizing that I have NO idea how to create proper satire, I instead have allowed it to flourish into what I'm best at currently; dramedy.

So for now, why don't i just begin with that very girl; Ilyssa Stalkhold.

Ilyssa is actually seventeen by the time the series starts, and is currently living with her mother, whom she rarely sees due to her working late shifts at her job to earn extra cash for them. Ilyssa hasn't seen her father in years, and holds contempt for him. Everyday, she wakes up and gets ready for school, though he mom helps her make her own lunch, since she stinks at cooking. She currently has one friend, a young boy named Seth, who wants to design for a living. They have been friend since they were little, though they've never really developed nay romnatic feelings for each other. Unfortunately, no one seems to really get this, and proceed to constantly ask them if they're going out or not, much to her annoyance. As far as grades are concerned, Ilysssa does very well in all grades, save for gym and home economics. She is particaulrily good at psychology, and actually has aspriations to be a psychologist at some point.

Ilyssa's life however, is changed the day she accidentally runs into Alyssa Smith, a natural Cherish Goddess. It is Alyssa who forces her into being a Cherish Goddess, and Alyssa who pretty much acts as her guide to teh world of the Cherish Goddesses (not her cheerful guide, mind you). When wrapped up in the life of adventure, Ilyssa adopts the codename of Cherish Angel. As Cherish Angel, she has control over the wind, which she can control using her magic wristbands. All Cherish Goddesses have side effects abilities, and Ilyssa is no exception. Being the Wind Goddess, she is able to fly, and is able to fight with the enhanced strength given to each Cjerish Goddess by their magic source. This is surprising for Ilyssa given her track record, but she is seen as a potential Champion Goddess for the mortal realm given her natural talent. This unfortunately puts her at odds with Alyssa, who is hoping to become a Champion Goddess herself at some point. Though eventually, they work out their differences and become good friends.

As fra as personality goes, Ilyssa is very mature for her age. As a result, she is very overly sarcastic, and tends to be a bit dissmissive of more childish behaviour, earning her the title of "Tight-ass" from Alyssa. She is fairly intelligent, but that intelligence sometimes brings about her downfall in battle, for she always tries to apply logic to all situations. Despite these traits, Ilyssa has also been known to be very short-tempered, but also very sweet and snurturing around those she cares for. It's these parts of her however, that she tries to keep hidden from teh rest of world. You see, most of Ilyssa's problems stem from her father's absence. That because he was never around, she had no choice but to grow up earlier. And while she is mostly proud of her current life and acheivements, she is subconciously insecure about losing the proof of those acheivements, hence her need to stamp out all traces of more fre spirited happiness in her life. This causes to be selfish on more than one ocassion. Eventually though, she overcomes this and allows the better parts of herself to shine through. The whole series is more or less a journey for her learning how to have a more balanced life with fun and responsibilities.

This is pretty much all I've worked out for Ilyssa up to this point. If you have any ideas on how I can improve, please fel free to leave me any suggestions in the comments section.
