TLDR: aloof parasite magical girl

About

A taciturn lady who has become the host for a parasitic flowering plant. The exposed buds that grow from her body and bloom from her wounds can morph into armor or a sharp blade. Lesia can suppress the parasite’s shape into heart-shaped petals, but it’s a semi-conscious effort. If she loses consciousness in a fight or flight situation, the parasite will explode back into an irregular coral-like structure as it resumes control.

Lesia has long abandoned her old name and identity as a regular human. She claims her eclectic outfit just comes with the territory. (She definitely still has a soft spot in her heart for 90s shoujo anime.)
