The Unexpected Hero
Minamo was just an ordinary girl who enjoyed spending time after school at Arispia, a lively place.
She went to see her childhood friend Natsu Hinomoto's street performance, but suddenly, a strange monster called Jamaock appeared and caused chaos.
Minamo watched in shock as Jamaock destroyed the live stage and attacked Natsu.
Awakening Princess Ripple
Wanting to protect Natsu, Minamo grew angry and brave, even though she had nothing to fight with.
At that moment, she unlocked the power of Song Fragments, letting her transform into Princess Ripple for the first time.
Minamo was unsure at first but quickly learned about her role from Princess Zeal (Kagari Shirube) and Naville, who explained what being a Princess means.
Deciding to Fight
Jamaock returned again to steal Natsu's special power called Myuchikara.
Seeing her friend's dreams threatened, Minamo was determined to fight as Princess Ripple.
Drawing on her hidden strength and courage, Minamo learned how to use her powers and succeeded in protecting Natsu.
Ongoing Battles
Now, Minamo joins the fight not just against Jamaock, but also a mysterious group called Band Snatch who control these creatures.
She promises to keep fighting to defend her friends’ dreams and support those who work hard.
- "It's all okay!"
- "I want to support people who work hard!"
