Description
Konoha Haida attends Umi no Hoshi Elementary School alongside classmates Sasami Kawai and Misao Amano. Initially characterized by a mean-spirited demeanor, she is often seen with two unnamed companions and holds a strong, unreciprocated romantic interest in fellow student Hiroto Majima. This fixation began when Hiroto rescued her from a bear in second grade by driving it off with a soccer ball, an event Hiroto himself does not remember.
Driven by her feelings, Konoha persistently seeks Hiroto's attention and physical contact, actions which irritate him. Her resentment grows due to Hiroto's crush on Misao, leading Konoha to mock Misao's athletic skills and make disparaging remarks.
After Pretty Sammy's lost magical baton strikes her head, the baton convinces Konoha to transform into the magical girl "Funky Connie" using the chant "Ting, jing, ting-a-lingle-ling." Unlike typical magical heroes, Funky Connie dismisses calls to fight injustice. Instead, she selfishly uses her powers to kidnap Hiroto, bind him with ropes, and construct a magical castle to coerce his love. The magic backfires when Hiroto professes love only to "Connie," not Konoha. Disillusioned, she abandons the baton despite warnings about the chaos caused by Pixy Misa.
Later, witnessing Hiroto's distress upon learning Misao is Pixy Misa, Konoha confronts him. She chastises him for pursuing someone who may not return his feelings, explicitly comparing it to her own unrequited love for him. This shared vulnerability fosters mutual understanding, and they ultimately develop a romantic relationship by the series' end.
Following the defeat of Romio, Konoha softens her hostility towards Sasami and Misao, establishing somewhat friendly terms. Both girls assist her in making Valentine's Day chocolates for Hiroto, which he dislikes.
Funky Connie reappears in the "Bonus Theatre" special "Extraordinary! The Two Magical Girls," where she and Love-Me Eimy investigate Pretty Sammy's murder. Their rivalry escalates into a destructive fight, ignoring the actual culprit's confession. Konoha also makes a brief appearance in the mock trailer for the unreleased *Pretty Sammy* movie.
