Description
Pop is a recurring character in the anime Glitter Force. He is a fairy from the magical kingdom of Jubiland and the older brother of Candy, the fairy who first seeks out the five heroines of the series. Pop comes to Earth after his sister, carrying the Charm Chest, a special container used to hold the Glitter Charms that the team must collect over the course of their mission. He and Candy are jointly responsible for helping identify and support the five chosen warriors who become the Glitter Force.
In appearance, Pop is a small lion-like pixie who stands on his hind legs. His fur is light orange or peach in color, and he has a lion-like mane, short and stubby limbs similar to his sister's, a bushy fox-like tail, and small horns that resemble a goat's. He is also able to take the shape of a human boy, appearing as a grade-school-aged child with golden hair and amber eyes who tends to dress in formal clothing. In this disguised form he can observe the group's activities on Earth without drawing too much attention.
Personality-wise, Pop is more composed and level-headed than his younger sister. He is proud of being a man and dislikes being called cute, though he becomes bashful when someone praises him as cool. He carries himself with a sense of dignity and often wears a slightly smug expression. Toward others he is welcoming and open-hearted; he is notably one of the few fairies who accepts former enemies after they are redeemed, showing that he judges people by their actions rather than their past. His relationship with Candy is affectionate but also marked by frequent sibling bickering, and he often alternates between being protective of her and being exasperated by her behavior. He also enjoys playfully styling his sister's hair in different ways.
Pop's main motivation is the protection of Jubiland and the success of the Glitter Force's mission. He has a deeper understanding of Jubiland's history, the nature of the main antagonist, and the significance of the Glitter Charms than most other characters, and he uses this knowledge to guide the team. His role in the story is that of an advisor and supporting ally. He delivers the Charm Chest to the group once the five members have been assembled, explains the larger conflict and the kingdom's past to them, and helps them navigate difficult situations. He assists in key missions, such as helping the team travel to Jubiland when Candy is captured, and he provides tactical backup during battles. He also acts as a bridge between the heroines and the wider world of Jubiland, offering context and guidance whenever the group faces a challenge tied to their magical heritage.
In terms of development, Pop begins the story somewhat skeptical of the girls' unconventional methods and uncertain whether they are capable of handling the darkness they face. Over time, he learns to trust them and comes to respect their approach, eventually becoming one of their most reliable tactical allies. He also grows in his view of his sister, acknowledging Candy's development into a figure of great responsibility within Jubiland and accepting her growth rather than continuing to treat her merely as a younger sibling in need of supervision.
Pop's notable abilities include shapeshifting, which allows him to transform into a human child and into various other forms, as well as ninjutsu-style techniques that he uses to aid the Glitter Force in combat. Beyond his physical abilities, his extensive knowledge of Jubiland's royal history and the nature of the Glitter Charms makes him an invaluable source of information and a key strategist for the group.
