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.
