DEATHSMILES for iPhone/iPod touch STORY

"Several months had passed since
Princess Tiara had set out on a frantic
quest for magical crystals...
dragging the Angels into the fray...

On this sunny afternoon,
a new chapter in her story unfolds…"
  • Windia
  • Casper
  • Follett
  • Rosa
  • Tiara

Windia
Wind Magic

In the real world, Windia was a 13-year-old girl born into a well-to-do London family.
Half a year ago, she found herself in Gilverado and became the fourth of Dior's "Angels." Rather shy and something of a crybaby, Windia would prefer to stay a child for the rest of her life.
One day in the real world, she was suddenly abducted while on her way to school. The instant that Windia began to fear for her life, she was enveloped in light and never seen again.

Here in Gilverado, she has tapped into her powers as a wind user and, despite her lack of training, embarked on her first mission. Windia quickly bonded with “Hoo,” her spirit familiar, although their relationship resembles a hapless master and her faithful butler, much to Hoo’s dismay.

Casper
Death Magic

The second Angel, Casper came to Gilverado from Germany when she was six years old.

It is unclear why she became one of the “Lost Children.”Perhaps something cruel had happened to her in the past, for Casper cannot remember anything of her life in the real world.

Whether this is due to some unfortunate incident, or purely by chance, she discovered the powers of Death Magic and became the strongest of the Angels.
Both selfish and cynical, Casper's nature does not serve her in making friends. However, this is merely a reflection of her loneliness; Casper is actually starved for affection, but the awkward part of her personality prevents here from being direct with people.

Follett
Flame Magic

When she was 10, Follett arrived in Gilverado and became the third Angel.
Follett was swept away by the current after a nearby river overflowed in a storm, and she was never seen again.

Overwhelmed by the freezing cold, Follett's power as a fire user manifested, and her first burst of flame instantly started a forest fire in Gilverado. Follett was cared for by the Angels, who arrived to extinguish the blaze.

Not very good with people, Follett loves to stay at home and read books. Even though her magic has already grown quite powerful, Follett has a habit of constantly referring to her Tome of Judgment, which may be an admonishment to herself for the forest fire she caused.

Rosa
Spirit Magic

When she was 8, Rosa was caught in a traffic accident in California. She slipped through a door of light and arrived in Gilverado.
On the verge of death, it was Mr. Dior's healing magic that restored her to health.
Rosa became the first of Mr. Dior's "Angels."

Rosa’s magical aptitude has given her the power to control spirits.
As the Angel who has lived the longest in Gilverado, she has the most experience and is a trustworthy leader who protects the Angels under her command.
She cracks jokes and uses her humor to smooth out the differences among the Angels; however, her brand of humor does not always go over so well.

Princess Tiara
????

Granddaughter of the Gilverado King.

The same age as Follett, Tiara is known for her haughty attitude, although she is actually quite easy-going.
