Description
Cocona is one of the main protagonists of the story. She is a young girl, likely in early adolescence, with a character design that features a short blue bob haircut often held by a yellow clip on her left fringe, and brown eyes. Her typical attire consists of a school uniform with a white and blue sailor shirt, a red ribbon, a blue pleated skirt, and yellow converse shoes.
At the outset, Cocona is defined by her cautious, reserved, and methodical personality. She is a diligent student who values routine and predictability, and she dislikes taking risks or making difficult decisions that could lead to regret. Her life is orderly; she rarely interacts with anyone outside of her grandmother and her childhood friend, Yayaka, and she is depicted as a girl without any strong interests or passions of her own. This passivity is a central aspect of her early characterization, as she is content to simply go through life "like a boat in the current," doing as she is told rather than forging her own path.
Cocona's background is more complex than she initially knows. She is the daughter of Mimi and Salt, though she was taken from her mother as an infant and raised by a robot posing as her grandmother, who told her that her parents died in an accident. As a young girl playing by a lake, she once met and befriended a strange, amnesiac girl named Papikana, an event she would later forget as she grew older. At the age of seven, she met Yayaka during a medical checkup, forming a close friendship that she does not realize was orchestrated by an organization to keep her under observation. This hidden past, including the truth of her birth and the nature of her connection to the mysterious world of Pure Illusion, forms the core mystery that she must unravel.
Cocona’s role in the story is driven by her partnership with the impulsive and energetic Papika, who pulls her into the alternate dimension known as Pure Illusion. Initially, Cocona is reluctant and fearful, viewing Papika's reckless adventures as a dangerous disruption to her safe, predictable life. However, as they journey together, Cocona begins to discover new facets of herself. She is a caring person who is distressed by the thought of Papika getting hurt, and this concern for others is what first sparks her determination to fight. Despite her initial negativity, she gradually finds joy and excitement in their adventures, growing more confident and understanding of both herself and the people around her.
Key relationships are central to Cocona's development. Her bond with Papika is the most transformative; while Cocona often finds herself exasperated by Papika's wild, instinct-driven behavior, she also comes to deeply value her partner's spontaneity and the freedom it represents. This relationship is not one-sided, as Cocona’s own insecurities can lead her to feel jealous or take a cold attitude, particularly regarding Papika’s memories of Cocona’s mother, Mimi. Her friendship with Yayaka is also complex, as the two attend school together but find themselves on opposing sides of a conflict, forcing Cocona to navigate issues of trust and betrayal. Her entire journey is a struggle to reconcile her desire for a stable identity with the chaotic truth of her family and her own hidden potential.
Throughout the narrative, Cocona undergoes significant development. She transforms from a passive girl who cannot even choose a high school to an individual who can make her own choices and fight for what she believes in. By the end, she gains the confidence to defy even her own mother, Mimi, and stand alongside Papika to protect the world she has come to value. Her emotional maturation is reflected in the evolution of her abilities. Thanks to the power of the amorphous fragment within her, Cocona can transform into a powerful warrior known as Pure Blade. In this form, her hair turns pink and grows long, and she gains a white and black costume with butterfly wings. As Pure Blade, she possesses flight, superhuman strength and speed, and the ability to create a weapon that can shift between forms, such as a sword, a giant hammer, or a cannon. After confronting her past and accepting her true feelings for Papika, she attains an even more powerful crystalline transformation.
