Pretty Princess Loli-chan!!
And Satosaka Kohaku
When Satosaka Kohaku was just starting her first year of high school, she chanced to rescue a little old man from some jerks, and was rewarded by him with a magical brooch that would allow her to transform into a superhero! Unfortunately, the little old man was actually a deceptive sorcerer, one Dr. H, who planned to use his command over the brooch to turn the resultant superhero into his slave. He was interrupted before he could place the last enchantment on Kohaku, however, and so she was able to retain her free will.
Well, sort of. Whenever she transformed into Pretty Princess Loli-chan, it was like a completely different person took over her mind, and Kohaku could at best offer helpful suggestions to that other mind, who mostly cared about spreading a gospel of complete sexual liberation but could be persuaded to do things that would help the innocent out. She did this for several months at her school, battling various demons, monsters, perverts, and the sexually repressed, before the whole place burned down in one of these fights and Kohaku and her friends were forced to transfer to Akazuchi Academy.
Almost as soon as she arrived there, Kohaku was informed that a certain government agency was aware of her activities, and had decided to recruit Loli-chan (and consequently Kohaku as well) to be part of a team of young superheroes in training to protect the school and Japan as a whole. As someone who had a great deal of trouble making friends because of her shyness, Kohaku welcomed the opportunity to meet other young people in similar situations to her own. Loli-chan was hyped for different reasons that require no real elaboration.
So Loli-chan joined the Campus Defense Club, and served through tragedy and triumph for the next three years. In the process, she had the opportunity to meet with several members of the Magical Girls' Brigade (or
Mahoshojodan) who took an interest in her transformations. Some investigation confirmed that Kohaku's brooch and her wand were both relics of the same extraterrestrial culture that the members of the Brigade had reincarnated from, though they appeared to have been damaged during their journey from their distant homeworld to Earth, and further damaged by whatever strange experiments Dr. H had performed on them.
The consequence of this was that Loli-chan was never going to 'grow up', and that it would be impossible for her consciousness to truly merge with Kohaku's, as the other Magical Girls had merged with their empowering spirits. (Seeing the consequences of that merging, Kohaku was not sure that was such a bad thing, but she was much too polite to say so.) And it was also impossible for them to be permanently separated without doing grave harm to both Kohaku and Loli-chan. So even as Kohaku grew into adulthood, she was always going to have a crazy little magical girl sharing space in her skull.
If she'd learned that when she started living with Loli-chan, Kohaku would have probably despaired. But she had slowly come to understand and feel compassion for Loli-chan, so silly, so love-crazed, and yet so very brave, too. From an unwanted houseguest, the other girl had come to be a sort of little sister that Kohaku wanted to protect, and so she was fine with having her with her forever. And Loli-chan was too busy ogling the members of the Mahoshojodan to pay any attention to any of this.
Time passed, and Kohaku graduated from Akazuchi Academy. Her contacts with the government helped her to get a job as a private investigator and open up an office. She has never really enjoyed a great deal of success in this job, since it's an unsuitable job for a woman in Japan, but it works as a way for her to discover problems that she can have Loli-chan solve in her own idiomatic manner, and keeps a roof over their mutual head. It also helps her maintain her independence from the Brigade, whose leaders she likes but does not trust.
Last year, Kinawa Eriko, Legendary Angel Herald Midas, inquired whether she would be able to use some of her contacts to help her discover the whereabouts of a child born fairly recently in the United States of America. As this was well outside her job description, Kohaku politely refused the inquiry ... until Eriko dropped a fairly large check on her desk. Apparently, you
could put a price on her independence, and so she's begun an investigation that she suspects is probably going to result to her traveling to America for the first time since high school ...
(She might be more hesitant if she knew that (a) Loli-chan's 'star seed' was damaged not in its journey to Earth but at the very beginning of same, when a woman named Sue Evil
tore it out of her own chest and cast it into space, and (b) Sue Evil currently lives in America and would not be best pleased to see the work of her hands abroad in the world. But finding out all that is before her.)
