RS-Zakuro Izayoi (Prototype 1)

Here is another prototype for Royal Star's characters. Hope Dreamlight, better known as Zakuro Izayoi, is a mysterious 13-year-old girl hailing from a magical world named Aleria. She grew up in her home world, more precisely in the capital of a wondrous realm named Aurora Kingdom. Her only friend for life was Katharina, the said realm's princess. When her homeland got attacked by an evil organization named the Nemesisium Clan, Hope was granted the power to transform into a Royal Warrior, thus becoming Fighter Hope. She did her best to defend Aurora Kingdom, but because they are too numerous and powerful, it rendered her incapable to do it all alone. Eventually, the King was forced to give Fighter Hope the task to find five girls that could help to oppose the Nemesisium Clan's forces (a sixth Alerian maiden was sent there later on). For this, he sent her to Earth, so she could do what she was told. But Hope appears quite cold toward earthlings humans she encountered in Starlight Hills, and prefered solitude. Only her winged bear-like friend and companion, Jima-P, could get in touch with her.

The first encounter with a earthling she did that lasted long enough was with Usagi Aino, who notices her shortly after encountering two other animal-like creatures once again.

More about her will come soon...

Zakuro is a bit of a tsundere, to the point of thinking that she doesn't need friends and that she could do anything alone, at first. That could make her antisocial and cold-hearted. Deep inside however, she has a good heart and a strong sense of heroism, justice and compassion. She gradually warms up to Usagi and Hoshiko, and even learns to befriend them. She is later enrolled in their school and gymnastics club (At first, she enrolled in the club only to stay at their sides, but she will eventually love being an all-around gymnast, too). Zakuro pronounces herself with “Atashi”.

Her alter ego is Fighter Hope, her theme color is purple and she has the powers of magic and arcane.

I hope you like her so far. There will be other early concepts of her, as well.
