Description
Poron is a young witch girl from the Land of Magic who appears in the anime adaptation of Mahōtsukai Sally. She is an original character created for the television series and does not appear in the original manga. She first appears in the later portion of the 1966 series and continues to appear in the 1989 sequel series as well as in the theatrical film. When in the human world, she is presented as Sally's younger cousin and lives as part of Sally's extended household alongside Cub, concealing the fact that she is a magical being.
Physically, Poron is a small child with short brown hair and blue eyes. Her personality is lively, impudent, and self-centered, yet her bold and demanding nature makes her an affectionately portrayed figure. She is an inveterate prankster, and her impulsive behavior frequently creates trouble for everyone around her.
Poron's main motivation is to share in the excitement of Sally's life in the human world. She enjoys playing with others and testing the limits of her magical powers, usually acting without considering what might happen afterward. In the later series, she is shown as a witch in training who admires Sally and wishes to become a proper witch herself, which gives her mischief a more purposeful direction.
Within the story, Poron serves as a supporting character and a steady source of comedy. She repeatedly causes magical accidents that Sally must repair, and she teams up with Cub and the Hanamura triplets to carry out pranks. In one notable incident, she steals the magical horned staff belonging to Daimaō, Sally's grandfather, and uses it to cause disorder in the human world.
Her closest relationship is with Sally, who acts as both her relative in the human world and the more responsible figure who watches over her. She is also closely connected to Cub, another child from the Land of Magic who shares her taste for mischief, and to the Hanamura triplets, who become her frequent partners in play and scheming.
Over the course of her appearances, Poron develops mainly as a growing magician. In the original series, her defining trait is casting spells she cannot reverse, such as shrinking herself to the size of a mouse and then being unable to restore herself to normal size. In the 1989 version, her background is revised so that she is originally from the Land of Magic as the daughter of the witch Hermes, and she is presented as a more active apprentice whose repeated mistakes gradually teach her responsibility while she keeps her energetic and cheerful temperament.
Poron's magical abilities are genuine but unreliable. She can perform real magic and is able to use enchanted objects, as demonstrated when she handles the stolen staff of Daimaō. However, her lack of skill and foresight means that her spells frequently backfire or leave her stranded in an unintended form. Her habit of attempting more magic than she can control is the most consistent feature of her powers and the main source of her role in the story.
