Description
Poomo is a fairy of the Poomo tribe who appears in Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime and its sequel series. He has a small white body, purple eyes, large ears, a little tuft of blond hair visible under his hat, pink cheeks, and a long tail with an orb at its end. Originally the loyal servant of Princess Grace, he is later entrusted to the twin princesses Fine and Rein, becoming their guide, companion, and caretaker as they set out on their journey. He carries himself with pride in his distinguished fairy lineage and takes his duties seriously.
In terms of personality, Poomo is kind, loyal, earnest, and somewhat strict about doing things properly. He frequently acts as a voice of responsibility, trying to keep Fine and Rein focused on their mission, though he often finds himself exasperated by their energetic and immature behavior. In the early part of the story, the twins tend to ignore his explanations, and he regularly ends up flustered or caught up in the trouble caused by their antics. He is long-suffering but devoted, repeatedly saying things twice to get their attention and reacting with exasperation when their enthusiasm gets the better of them. He has a habit of ending his sentences with the suffix "pumo" and generally refers to himself in a polite, modest manner.
His main motivation is to faithfully carry out the task given to him by Princess Grace: to look after Fine and Rein and support them in their mission to save the Sun's Blessing and restore light to the Wonder Planet. He takes this responsibility seriously and is driven by a sense of duty, loyalty, and genuine care for the twins. When he feels that things are not going well or that he is not performing his role adequately, he sometimes leaves to undergo training in order to improve himself, reflecting his earnest and self-disciplined nature.
Within the story, Poomo serves as the twins' fairy attendant, acting as their navigator, advisor, and occasional messenger. The twins also treat him as a sort of maid or assistant, having him handle household chores and other tasks. His most notable ability is Telepoomotion, a supernatural power that allows him to instantly transport Fine and Rein to various locations. This ability is used frequently during the first series, though it consumes a resource called promin, and in the sequel series it is no longer used at all. Beyond teleportation, he has many practical talents, including cooking and other domestic skills, which make him useful during the twins' travels. In contrast, his drawing ability is notably poor, and he has a gentle romantic interest in a character named Clione, an unexpected side of his personality.
Poomo's key relationships are with Princess Grace, whom he served faithfully before being reassigned, and with Fine and Rein, who become his new charges. He is devoted to the twins despite their chaotic behavior and remains a steady presence at their side throughout their adventures. In the sequel, Gyu!, his role shifts somewhat: the twins gain new fairy companions, Pyupyu and Kyukyu, and Poomo mostly follows along in the background rather than serving as the central guide. This marks a development in his role from active caretaker and transport provider to a more supporting figure as the princesses grow more independent and acquire new allies. Over the course of the series, he remains a dependable, conscientious figure whose growth is shown through his continued commitment to his duties and his quiet, often underappreciated contributions to the twins' success.
