OVA
Description
Gigi begins as Princess Momo from Fenarinarsa, a celestial realm of fairy tale beings threatened with fading away alongside humanity's diminishing hopes and dreams. Her parents, the rulers, send her forth to Earth to reverse this decline. Assuming human form as the daughter of a childless couple running a pet care facility, she arrives accompanied by three animal companions resembling a dog, monkey, and bird. Her core ability allows her to transform into an adult version of herself, adopting professions perfectly tailored to resolve specific crises—such as airline stewardess, police officer, or veterinarian—possessing expertise matching the world's finest practitioners. Each successful intervention that restores happiness causes a jewel to materialize in Fenarinarsa's crown; gathering twelve jewels would permanently anchor the realm back to Earth.
In *La Ronde in My Dream*, Gigi employs her transformation during a concert to replace an absent performer, showcasing musical talents. When her Earth parents' plane crashes on a mysterious island, she pilots her flying vehicle, the Gourmet Pop, to mount a rescue. The island, ruled by Peter Pan, embodies perpetual childhood through a Fountain of Youth. Gigi challenges Peter Pan's philosophy, advocating for confronting responsibilities over evading adulthood, though they ultimately collaborate to defeat antagonists threatening the island's magic. This narrative highlights her dual identity as both a child and a temporally mature problem-solver.
Later, Gigi loses her powers after failing to complete Fenarinarsa's restoration. She suffers a fatal collision with a toy-laden truck. Reincarnated as the biological infant daughter of her Earth parents, she retains no magical abilities but gains a pink lizard companion, Kadzilla. This iteration focuses on realizing personal aspirations instead of collective dreams, though she later combats an abstract evil influencing human despair.
A subsequent incarnation emerges from Marinarsa, an oceanic counterpart to Fenarinarsa. This Gigi parallels her predecessor's mission but navigates distinct challenges, including her family becoming refugees amid widespread hopelessness. She encounters the original Fenarinarsa Gigi, and their alliance underscores shared thematic struggles. Ultimately, she sacrifices her connection to Marinarsa to remain on Earth as her human parents' true child, affirming faith in humanity's enduring capacity for hope despite magic's disappearance.
Post-magic narratives like *The Bridge Over Dreams* and *The Station of Your Memories* feature an older Gigi, no longer a magical girl, wistfully reflecting on her experiences. These stories emphasize her transition from supernatural envoy to an ordinary individual navigating nostalgia and loss, yet persistently seeking meaning in a world where fantastical realms have faded.
