Souta Kishibe transforms into a magical girl with a dragon knight look.
He has two horns on his head and a tail, both looking like dragon parts.
His armor exposes a lot of skin and is made up of only a few parts.
He wears long hair tied up on both sides, with hair accessories matching his armor.
The horns often look like decorations in some artwork, but they are real dragon traits.
His tail, like a dog's or cat's, moves to show his feelings.
In original illustrations, the horns grow from his forehead and split his bangs.
Souta is passionate about magical girls and is a deep fan of the genre.
He loves soccer and trains hard at school.
Though he is open and fun with friends, he keeps his magical girl hobby secret from most people.
Online, he is a core member of magical girl fan sites and even joins offline meetings.
As La Pucelle, his magical girl form, he admires chivalry and acts like a knight.
Despite turning into a girl, he stays a middle school boy at heart and gets embarrassed by other magical girls’ revealing outfits.
Souta is a seventh grader who attends a different middle school than Koyuki Himekawa.
As kids, they bonded over their love for magical girl shows and became close friends.
Souta’s idea of magical girls comes from action-packed shows with strong fighting girls, not the pure, heroic kind Koyuki likes more.
He is recognized for his knowledge and rare goods collection among fans on websites.
He met Genosaiko Yumenoshima, another fan, at a magical girl fan event.
In real life, he balances his enthusiasm for soccer and his love for magical girl culture.
Souta’s magic lets him freely change how big or small his sword is.
The sword, his personal magical item, can be as large as he can hold, thanks to his magical girl strength.
He can use his magic on the sword even if it’s not in his hands—he just needs to see it.
He can shrink it to the size of a toothpick or make it huge enough to hit flying enemies.
He also can change the size of the sword’s sheath any way he wants.
His powers allow creative uses, like surprise attacks or traps, but he mainly uses them for heroic reasons.
If he gets stronger, there’s no limit to how gigantic his sword can be.
Souta is the childhood friend and loyal companion of Koyuki Himekawa (Snow White).
He knew Koyuki’s magical girl identity right away and offered to help guide her as a fellow magical girl.
They form a duo and take on dangerous challenges together in the Magical Girl Raising Project.

He also knows Genosaiko Yumenoshima from offline fan meetings.

Supporting Snow White During the Survival Game

La Pucelle’s Role in "Restart"
In the "Restart" arc, a monster appears that has traits similar to Souta’s magical girl form.
When transformed, Souta is physically a girl, but he is not a “cross-dresser” or both genders.
His spirit and way of thinking stay those of a regular boy, making some situations awkward for him.
Even though in art, his horns sometimes look like cute accessories, they are real dragon features.
His tail moves based on his mood, like a pet’s.
He is very well-known in magical girl fan circles for his deep knowledge and rare merchandise collection.
