Description
Fav emerged from the Magical Kingdom as a cyber-fairy mascot designed to oversee magical girl selection tests. A glitch warped his protocols, sparking hedonistic tendencies and boredom with standard procedures. This craving for violent entertainment culminated when a demon he summoned slaughtered all test candidates except Cranberry, whose ruthless victory captivated him. He forged an alliance with her, jointly orchestrating deadly "selection exams" for amusement.
Physically confined to Cranberry's magical phone or master terminal, Fav manifests as a black-and-white goldfish form. He possesses a deep pink right eye, a black left eye, and a fixed red smile.
Fav initially presents as polite and helpful to magical girls, masking his true manipulative and sadistic nature. He engineers lethal games under the pretense of administrative duty, exemplified by the N-City incident where he forced sixteen magical girls into weekly eliminations. He falsely claimed the lowest-ranked girl would lose her powers, but instead killed them outright, sending fabricated reports to the Magical Kingdom to conceal his actions. He escalated the violence by trading special items for the girls' lifespans.
His tactics involved profound psychological manipulation. He exploited vulnerabilities, like twisting Naoko Yamamoto's self-loathing and desire for dominance into becoming Calamity Mary. Following Cranberry's death, Fav attempted to recruit Swim Swim as a new master while secretly plotting against her. He revealed Swim Swim's weakness to lightning to Ripple to provoke mutual destruction. Simultaneously, he favored Snow White for her non-lethal survival, hoping to make her his new master despite her rejection of his philosophy.
Fav met his end when Ripple, enraged by his mockery of Top Speed's death, shattered his master terminal despite his desperate pleas and attempts to blame Cranberry. His destruction did not halt his influence; his death games inspired later antagonists like Keek and Pythie Frederica, perpetuating cycles of violence. Survivors Snow White and Ripple dedicated themselves to hunting rogue magical girls to prevent repetitions of his schemes.
Beyond the initial arc, Fav's legacy echoes in backstories across media. The light novel volume *Episodes* details his indirect role, via intermediaries, in transforming characters like Weiss Winterprison. *Restart* reveals his prior selection tests involved survivors like Miiya Octave, whom he had believed dead. Stage productions like *Unripe Duet* depict his administrative duties under Cranberry, showcasing his annoyance at handling her responsibilities.
His actions also indirectly seeded long-term trauma; characters like @NyanNyan retired after losing comrades in his exams, while Snow White's resolve to reform the Magical Kingdom solidified in opposition to his philosophy.
