OVA
Description
Miria Marigold Mackenzie, an American girl living in Hollywood, is the daughter of famous singer Celine Bright. Her world-class businessman father has been absent for years, fostering underlying feelings of neglect beneath her vibrant personality. Initially 8-9 years old in the main series and 10 in the OVA, she presents as energetic, fashion-conscious, and self-assured, frequently calling herself "KMB" (Kanzen Muketsu Bishojo or "Knock-out Marvelous Beauty"). She harbors a one-sided crush on fellow magic student Leon and passionately embraces anime, cosplay, and pop culture, filling her room with collectibles from various series.
Her magical education starts at Jewel Land’s Magic Academy, partnered with the Jewelpets Garnet and Sango. Early magic displays prioritize showmanship and recklessness; a demonstration in Episode 4 inadvertently ignites a fire in Jewel Land, forcing peer intervention. This marks a turning point, leading her to accept responsibility. She utilizes her first "Jewel Flash" to resolve the crisis, earning her third Jewel Stone. Her abilities grow throughout her studies, with her costume and power amplification changing based on collected Jewel Stones. She employs a Jewel Charm to focus spells, often creatively adapting magic to impress Leon or tackle challenges.
A significant arc unfolds in Episode 14. Believing her mother's singing career caused familial neglect, Miria attempts to use the forbidden Time Trip Gate to prevent it. Traveling to the past with Akari, she witnesses her mother's genuine care. She repairs Celine's damaged audition dress with magic, encouraging her to pursue her dreams. This fosters maturity, helping Miria reconcile her own aspirations to become a "Queen of Pop" with her mother's legacy. She later competes in a singing contest, placing tenth, valuing the emotional resolution above victory.
Interpersonally, Miria evolves from initial friction with peers, especially academic rival Sara, to forming strong friendships. A misfired potion causes a body-swap in Episode 21, deepening her bond with Sara as they navigate each other's lives and insecurities. She consistently supports Akari, though she and Sara tease Akari about her crush on Yuuma. Her confidence sometimes veils vulnerability regarding her family, but she gradually shares these struggles with friends.
In the OVA "A Rainbow of Smiles Doki☆Doki!", set a year later, Miria achieves her dream of becoming a singer. Hosting a concert in Japan to reunite with Akari and friends, she symbolizes her growth from a self-focused magician to a dedicated artist. During the reunion, she witnesses a rainbow alongside others; their chests glow with Jewel Stone power as they collectively wish for universal happiness, underscoring her commitment to spreading joy through her talents.
Her fears include snakes. Her magical development remains intertwined with her personal journey toward balancing ambition, creativity, and emotional resilience.
