Game Summary: Magical Girl Raising Project was a murdergame based on the anime/light novel of the same name. Characters were "offered" a chance to become magical girls (or boys) and brought to a broken-down town called Town A in order to restore it to its former glory. However, there was no way to reject the offer, and after the first week it was declared that there were too many magical beings in town, and the number would have to be cut down to four. And so the murders began.
How long was your character in Game: Eight weeks
History of Character in their Game: (For the record, the first week in MGRP was called Week 0 due to it being a murder-free week. I will be using this numbering system as well.)
On Week 0, Eliza was brought to Town A. While a bit confused about where her Pokemon were, as well as the fact that no one else even knew what Pokemon were, she was pretty happy about the situation overall, especially after meeting Beyond Birthday/"Rue Ryuzaki," an apparent fellow magical girl enthusiast. He helped her with figuring out a magical chant, and they tested out the power of their magical forms together. She also helped out Tamamo-no-Mae in performing a task that involved delivering a package to the requester's "beloved," although the circumstances were somewhat odd...which she didn't really think about until she ended up talking about it with Zack on Wednesday. For most of the week, she also helped out with various tasks around town, until Friday when she ran into Tamamo and Zack getting into a fight. When talking didn't work, she ended up leaping off a building to land on both of them, technically stopping the fight. On Friday night, she would also attend a sleepover in Zange's room that she had helped plan, and while some information would be shared, she was more interested in playing various party games.
Then, on Week 1, Fav made the announcement that there were too many magical beings using up mana in the town, and the number would have to be cut down. Either the person with the least "magical candy" would be killed off at the end of the week, or someone would have to commit a murder. Eliza was shocked and horrified by this announcement, and only cheered up a little when a mysterious person called "Snow White" appeared on the network, suggesting that she had been a part of such a game before and would try to help. She and Beyond would also end up watching some of the Madoka series, which Fav had recommended as an example of a "dark" magical girl show. Dia would hold a meeting on Wednesday in an attempt to consolidate information, which was when the Mastermind showed up on the phone. Eliza tried to get information out of her, but failed miserably. Later, during Thursday night, she would use a voice-changing bowtie she'd gotten out of the item shop to imitate the voices of both said Mastermind, "M," as well as Dia, to make fun of them. Zack was amused enough by this that she ended up inviting him to her room so that the two of them could work together to do more silly voices.
Surprisingly enough, this actually ended up being significant when Dia was found dead in the apartments on Friday. Eliza wasn't present for most of the investigation, but she did end up helping to coordinate a hunt for missing bones, since Dia had been killed with one and there were skeletons in every apartment closet. Later, during the trial, Eliza was able to clear Zack's name by pointing out that the two of them had been together on Thursday night. However, she wasn't able to contribute much more to the trial, since she refused to believe any of the evidence pointing towards Beyond Birthday. She ended up abstaining from the vote, but he was found out and voted guilty nonetheless. Upset at this, she ended up hugging him while sobbing, and he told her a bit more about his past and true self. However, Zack dragged her away from him, warning her about him and telling her about a doctor he'd "worked" with who was similarly creepy, and she ended up leaning against him while listening to the story. During his execution, she attempted to shatter the screen it was being shown on, but failed utterly. She cheered up a bit at the party afterwards, where Tamamo had prepared a lot of food for everyone, but was still pretty morose over both learning the truth but not wanting her friend to die.
During Week 2, for the motive, Fav ended up bringing in Kyubey, who offered a wish to anyone who successfully got away with murder. Eliza mentioned that Kyubey could actually be hurt or even killed, which led Zack to do so eagerly. This was also somewhat cathartic for Eliza, who was angry that Fav couldn't be hurt in any way despite having caused all this. Due to not having watched the full series yet, she would also accuse Kyubey of lying when he claimed that magical girls fought wraiths. Despite this, after learning that Kyubey could resurrect the dead, she offered to make a deal with him to become a magical girl, but got dragged away by Zack. She also ended up seeing the end of the Madoka series, although only the original, which allowed her to see the ending as hopeful, since she didn't know about the tragedies that would happen in the future.
Later on, she would find in the newly-appearing arcade a game about her own adventures, which freaked her out quite a bit, and she would end up asking just how many people found similar games about themselves. She also ended up comforting Tamamo when the kitsune found a game that had an image of her own husband on it, and couldn't decide whether to smash it or keep playing it so that she could at least see him. She and Zack ended up bonding more over this week, with her helping him with understanding the controls for several games, as well as helping him with reading the cards for a game of Cards Against Humanity. She would also end up explaining a lot about Pokemon and her world to him. Later, on Thursday, she would finally get back one of her Pokemon-Dragon the Diglett, and showed him around town. Zack had also gotten a Pokeball at the same time, and she ended up hugging him when he returned it to her, said Pokeball turning out to contain Crown the Deerling. Crown would be quite pleased with Zack, due to the serial killer giving him an in-vitro rose to eat.
That Thursday night, Eliza, still worried about the motive, would end up patrolling the hallway with her voice-changing bowtie and a naginata she'd gotten from the machine. She saw someone standing in front of Zack's door, and quickly used the bowtie to imitate his voice and call them over. However, her lack of combat skills meant that she quickly ended up with her weapon pulled away and used to kill her. She would wake up in her own room as a ghost, able to see the living but not interact with them in any way, although she would learn that they could send notes to the living once per week. She reunited with both Dia and Beyond, and also learned that Zange was the actual Mastermind, who had kept her ability to speak with ghosts, and was being forced to run these games with her own world on the line. While she was able to watch her own trial, it quickly went horribly wrong, with confusion going around everywhere, and in the end a random comment from Recette led to both One and Kaine getting an equal number of votes and having to fight to the death. Kaine won, and One was revealed as a scapegoat. While Eliza tried to offer comfort to Recette from the afterlife, as the girl blamed herself for accusing One, she naturally was unable to actually do anything.
During Week 3, the motive was revealed to be a hostage motive, with people's loved ones being shown on a screen, with Fav declaring that they would all die if no murder happened. Naturally, this led to a lot of threats from most of the living. Eliza would spend some time exploring the town and the new areas, and ended up talking to one of the ghosts, Hinata Hajime, about the previous games. She also figured out that she could affect the living world if she transformed, so she attempted to communicate with Zack and Miach by moving a doll, but ended up just freaking out the former. She also had a short talk with One, asking her not to blame Recette, but when One acted stubborn about it, lashed out and threatened her if she hurt Recette further. Also, Zack ended up taking in Dragon and Crown, which she was very grateful for.
That Friday, Nanami was found with her face bashed in, and Seraphina unconscious nearby. Seraphina claimed that the two of them had been attacked by both Zack and Tamamo, but Eliza refused to believe this testimony, and ended up adding a giant ASCII middle finger directed at the succubus to her letter, which was otherwise full of reassurances and encouragement towards her friends. While she did meet up with Nanami in the afterlife, she purposefully did not ask anything about the truth of said testimony. Later, during the trial, Zack confessed to attacking Nanami, who he had mistaken for Szayel due to the similar color of their hair, and also said that he had planned on confessing anyways, or even just killing himself to avoid an execution. Eliza was actually touched by his willingness to avenge her, and said so out loud, which alienated her from a lot of the ghosts. She also loudly protested all accusations against Tamamo, until the fox lady was forced to transform into her magical girl form, revealing it to be covered with blood. Upset at having another of her friends turn out to be a killer, she waited outside Tamamo's door the instant the execution was over and ended up hugging and then punching her.
In the aftermath of the trial, Hinata would also inform all the ghosts that the glowing keys that people had been finding were part of the key to the ritual, and there would be certain locations at the boundary where they had to be placed. Eliza would take a note of this. Later at the afterparty, Szayel ended up pointing a sword at Zack, but Eliza cut in by grabbing a marshmallow and attempting to stick it on the tip of said sword. He managed to dodge it an cut the marshmallow in half, so she pelted him with more marshmallows, which did succeed at diverting his attention from Zack. Eliza's next message to the living would contain a warning that she planned to escalate if Szayel continued bothering Zack.
On Week 4, it was revealed by M that there would be no murder necessary, as long as the living succeeded in finding and reassembling a bunch of body parts that had been hidden in a bunch of eggs around town. Eruna hosted a "Finding Home" club meeting soon after this announcement, where Szayel ended up mentioning the marshmallows, and pulling out his sword again when Zack laughed. Eliza tried to throw more snacks at him, but was stopped by Hinata, and Eruna got Szayel to put his sword away on her own. The thrown snacks were also noticed, and Hinata and Eliza ended up communicating with the living through "snack ouija." Later, she would spend Tuesday hunting along the boundaries, but didn't find any of the critical spots. On Tuesday evening, Zack would end up bringing a doll to her room for her to communicate with, although she was limited to mostly nodding and shaking her head in this case. Still, it was a comfort to be able to almost have a physical body again.
Since the body parts were successfully found, a ball was held that Sunday. Eliza used a pair of gloves to dance with Recette, who had taken in Slinky from the Item Shop, and also helped to manage Crown and Gible, a Pokemon that Dahlia had retrieved from one of the formerly-locked rooms. Both Eruna and Recette, as well as Zack and Szayel, would end up kissing during this ball to the influence of a Kiss Note used to sign in as well. It was probably around this time that Eliza started to think of Zack and Recette as siblings, since her next message to the living contained half-joking threats to kill Szayel and Eruna if they ever broke the hearts of the former two.
On Week 5, Fav announced that there was a traitor among the group, and that they would be forced to kill this week or lose something important to them. Eliza didn't do much during this week, although she did find Ash and talk with him a bit about his Pokemon. On Friday, Eruna was found with a dagger in her heart. Eliza was very upset when she showed up, feeling somewhat like she had cursed Eruna to die with her death threat, which she ended up crossing off her letter. However, she soon cheered up a bit when Eruna showed off one of her regained powers, and she spent some time just showing it off, to Eliza's delight. At the trial, it was soon revealed that Joshua was both the killer and the traitor, and he submitted to his execution with the most dignity of any culprit. Even so, Eliza ended up trying to punch him when he appeared in deadland. While he avoided her first punch, he did help her up when she nearly went sprawling as a result, so she ended up not punching him as hard as she usually would have.
On Week 6, the barrier outside the town finally came down. Unfortunately, this meant that someone else could enter the town. On Monday, Kaine was found dismembered in the school, and Zack and Recette found a room that apparently had belonged to Joshua to use as the traitor. M appeared to them and told them that a serial killer known as the Magical Girl Hunter had invaded the town, and offered an escape to anyone who could find her. This offer was refused by both of them. Meanwhile, Eliza met Kaine in deadland, although she didn't realize he was dead at first. She was happy to explain about M's true identity as Zange, but Kaine's odd behavior and apologies led to some confusion-until she finally realized that he was the one who had killed her. She immediately tried to punch him, not for killing her, but for not confessing and thus causing Recette so much emotional pain. While he dodged, she kept swinging, everything he said only making her madder until he finally gave in and let her hit him. After that, she calmed down a bit and told him about the keys and the border.
On Tuesday, Taiki was found with his head cut off in the dojo, and on Wednesday, Dahlia was found with her heart cut out in the women's baths. Eliza ended up there when Szayel came along to investigate, and she amused herself somewhat by messing with him since he couldn't see her. Dahlia herself ended up coming along to see what was going on, and learned from Eliza's statement that Kaine was her actual killer. She and Eliza ended up having a bit of a talk about Zange and whether or not she could be trusted, with Eliza having absolute faith in the goddess and her ritual to revive everyone, while Dahlia tried to point out the problems with her trust.
On Thursday, Edna was found dead in the observatory. At the same time, Eliza used the ghostly network to send out a request for others to join her in seeking out the ritual locations among the boundary. Edna ended up being the only one to join her, and the two chatted a bit about Edna's powers over earth as they did the hunting and marking.
Szayel was found in the morgue on Friday, and he freaked out once he woke up as a ghost. Eliza did seek him out to apologize for thinking he killed her, but refused to apologize for anything else she had done, since she still considered herself in the right for defending Zack. She ended up cutting the conversation short when he discussed tormenting Kaine further, and tried to kick him in the shin before running away.
On Saturday, Zack was found in the police station. He also went on a bit of a rampage as a ghost, before collapsing on the ground. When Eliza realized he was dead, she started hugging him while bawling, and soon both of them were sobbing for a while. She punched him lightly for the killing he'd done, and then revealed that Kaine had killed her, and managed to stop Zack from getting revenge for that right away. And after a bit more sobbing and cursing the people who set up this game, they ended up falling asleep on each other there.
On Sunday, Moeka was found dead in the restaurant. However, by then, Zange was finally able to contain the Hunter, and Week 7 opened with an announcement that now they were down to four people, there would be one final trial, where they would have to uncover the mysteries of the town, as well as figure out the identity of the Hunter and whoever killed Eliza. While Eliza flinched at this, a library had been revealed in this final week, so she ended up sending out a message through the network asking if they could use books to give clues of some sort. Some of the other dead had put their clues together and figured out that the Hunter was likely Snow White, so Dahlia ended up providing Miach with this book as a hint, while Eliza dropped this book to hint that Kaine had killed her, since his magical form had a crab theme, and his magical name had been assigned as "Crabby Copycat." Dahlia also used ouija to give further insight into these clues for Miach, allowing her to put the pieces together.
On Monday, Recette also ended up at the steel tower, where ghosts of previous games could be heard by the living. Rose was there, and she passed on several messages from Zack, before Eliza arrived at the foot of the tower and called for Rose to pass on a message that she loved Recette like a sister. Unfortunately, the actual part about sisterly love was left out when Rose passed it on.
Later on, on Thursday, Hinata called another meeting, where he ended up warning Eliza that she was close to running out of mana from all her transforming and interacting with the world. It was also at this meeting that they met the anthropomorphic personification of the impurity that had previously been gathering around town, who had formed into a humanoid form. He had been sealed in a coffin until Recette opened it, and when Eliza heard about this she immediately bristled and threatened to kill him if he'd hurt Recette in any way. Zack had to pull her back (again).
They also learned that the hostages were being held behind a locked door in the dollhouse. However, it turned out to be passable for ghosts. Eliza ended up following Zack there, and she ended up comforting him when his hostage, Ray, couldn't hear or see him. While she tried to figure out some way they could free the hostages, there turned out to be nothing in the room they could use.
Finally, on the actual day of the trial, everyone was on edge. Luckily, it seemed like Miach had been successful in understanding the clues, and Seraphina had helped figure out that the events of the town were apparently being broadcast. However, soon it came time to find out who the mastermind was-and Zange revealed herself, immediately putting on the cold and nasty attitude of M. However, none of the other living really bought it, and were able to poke holes in her claims of not caring. When Zack screamed in Zange's ear about lying, she ended up threatening him, and Eliza immediately threatened to kick her in the shin once they were resurrected. It was also at this time that she admitted she'd started to see Zack as an older brother at some point.
Despite everyone pushing at Zange, she simply told them that they would have to vote for "Death" or "Life" to see if she was allowed to live. While it came down to the wire and Eliza actually considered sacrificing her own existence to break the rules and explicitly tell them to vote "Life," in the end they did it. Once that happened, Zange finally regained her full power, and performed the ritual to revive everybody, before telling them the town would crumble soon, and that they all had to return to their own worlds without any of their memories. Eliza woke up in the morgue, and immediately hugged the closest person, who turned out to be Beyond Birthday. She did also punch him, as she'd been doing for all the other killers. After a bit of talk about what he planned to do after returning home, she ended up finding Recette and telling her that she thought of her as a sister outright.
After asking her, Zange allowed the ones who asked for it to keep their memories of the town, but said that she would need an offering of some sort if people wanted to travel to others' worlds. Worried about what such an offering could mean, Eliza offered to simply hunt down Palkia in her world and use its space powers to bring her between worlds. However, Zange revealed that all she wanted was simply items of any sort, or worship, both of which Recette could offer in abundance. Thus, Zack would end up going back with Recette, bringing along Ray. Eliza also handed over Crown to him, along with a feather from Blade's wings for both him and Recette, and she received Recette's hair tie in exchange. Finally, everything was resolved, and Eliza planned to head home.
How did they change from their canon personality wise (Please explain what caused it to happen?)
While not necessarily a "change" so much as something that has always been part of her and which her experiences brought out, Eliza has developed a strong sense of loyalty and protectiveness towards those she cares about. She will refuse to believe that they could be responsible for any wrongdoing unless they outright admit it, and will happily fight against anyone who threatens or picks on the people she cares about. She has also started to learn what it means to care about people more than herself, and has become almost self-sacrificing in her desire to protect them.
A lot of this comes from the simple fact that Eliza has not had any human friends for a long time. While she has had her Pokemon, they haven't been with her for that long comparatively, and her relationship with them is different by nature. Now that she has managed to make friends, she doesn't want to lose them, and thus has shown that she is willing to stand by them even if everyone else turns against them. In truth, as Ash called her out on, this loyalty can be seen as an extension of her selfishness, as she simply extends the circle of who she cares about from herself only to herself and her friends only.
Thanks to this loyalty and the fact that a lot of the people Eliza befriended were kind of terrible, Eliza's morality has also shifted somewhat. She is much less likely to think badly of people just because they've killed someone, and has accepted that there are people who might deserve to die as well. While she still gets angry at people when they admit to killing, she most likely won't cut off ties with them just because of that, and she'll only really want a murderer punished if they end up hurting someone she cares about.
Eliza has lost some of her arrogance after getting herself killed, realizing that she got herself in over her head, and is somewhat more humble about her own abilities. Despite this, she is still willing to tangle with or threaten people way above her weight class if the people she cares about are involved. As a matter of fact, thanks to Zack's influence, she now sees violence as being an appropriate solution in a lot more contexts.
Thanks to Eruna calling her "cute" and flirting with her, Eliza has started to realize that she is attracted to both boys and girls, although she didn't really end up with any romantic prospects in Town A. She's also learned about how terrible parents can really be from listening to Recette and Zack discuss their biological parents, and is a bit more accepting towards her own now.
Eliza's become less enamored with magical girl shows after learning about their "dark side," and will be much more suspicious about the intentions of adorable mascots. She's also become less concerned about appearances as well, and is more willing to approach people she might have found "creepy" before, thanks to her bond with Zack. She also has developed some trauma from going through a murdergame, and is now somewhat more paranoid about losing the people she loves, as well as about places not being what they seem.
How did they change from their canon physically (Please explain what caused it to happen?):
Eliza now has a magical girl form that she can change into, which she gained upon accepting Fav's offer, and which enhances her strength and jumping ability. In this form, Eliza's outfit transforms into a pink-and-white dress with a few purple highlights, and she gains a pair of feathered lavender wings. Her hair grows even longer, and gains a few purple strands running through it. She has also died and been brought back, and while she has no physical scars it may be possible to sense that she has died before.
Powers:
Illusion - Eliza has the psychic ability to create very realistic-acting visual illusions subconsciously, simply by thinking of what she wants to happen and willing it to happen. Because of this, she believes that her powers are telekinetic, since she regularly creates illusions of things moving on their own. However, looking close will reveal that her illusions are slightly translucent.
World of Confusion - Whenever she is hit by one of Witch's Confuse Ray attacks, Eliza enters an alternate world where she is a ruler of some sort, as well as a magical girl, and her Pokemon are similarly either human or monster companions of some sort. There seems to be some supernatural influence beyond her own imagination, since on occasion she can "hear" what her Pokemon say to her in this state, although she definitely puts her own spin on things.
Magical Girl Form - As mentioned above, Eliza has a magical girl form she can transform into that grants her enhanced strength and jumping ability. She needs her magical phone on her to perform this transformation, though.
Possessions:
-Magical phone
-Slinky the Tepig
-Blade the Pidgey
-Witch the Vulpix
-Dragon the Diglett
-Flute the Phanpy
-Hair tie with two red beads
-Pokeballs for her five Pokemon
-Her Mega Ring, Big Root, and Seal Pack

Seraphina claimed that the two of them had been attacked by both Zack and Tamamo, but Eliza refused to believe this testimony, and ended up adding a giant ASCII middle finger directed at the succubus to her letter, which was otherwise full of reassurances and encouragement towards her friends. While she did meet up with Nanami in the afterlife, she purposefully did not ask anything about the truth of said testimony. Later, during the trial, Zack confessed to attacking Nanami, who he had mistaken for Szayel due to the similar color of their hair, and also said that he had planned on confessing anyways, or even just killing himself to avoid an execution. Eliza was actually touched by his willingness to avenge her, and said so out loud, which alienated her from a lot of the ghosts. She also loudly protested all accusations against Tamamo, until the fox lady was forced to transform into her magical girl form, revealing it to be covered with blood. Upset at having another of her friends turn out to be a killer, she waited outside Tamamo's door the instant the execution was over and ended up hugging and then punching her.
In the aftermath of the trial, Hinata would also inform all the ghosts that the glowing keys that people had been finding were part of the key to the ritual, and there would be certain locations at the boundary where they had to be placed. Eliza would take a note of this. Later at the afterparty, Szayel ended up pointing a sword at Zack, but Eliza cut in by grabbing a marshmallow and attempting to stick it on the tip of said sword. He managed to dodge it an cut the marshmallow in half, so she pelted him with more marshmallows, which did succeed at diverting his attention from Zack. Eliza's next message to the living would contain a warning that she planned to escalate if Szayel continued bothering Zack.
On Week 4, it was revealed by M that there would be no murder necessary, as long as the living succeeded in finding and reassembling a bunch of body parts that had been hidden in a bunch of eggs around town. Eruna hosted a "Finding Home" club meeting soon after this announcement, where Szayel ended up mentioning the marshmallows, and pulling out his sword again when Zack laughed. Eliza tried to throw more snacks at him, but was stopped by Hinata, and Eruna got Szayel to put his sword away on her own. The thrown snacks were also noticed, and Hinata and Eliza ended up communicating with the living through "snack ouija." Later, she would spend Tuesday hunting along the boundaries, but didn't find any of the critical spots. On Tuesday evening, Zack would end up bringing a doll to her room for her to communicate with, although she was limited to mostly nodding and shaking her head in this case. Still, it was a comfort to be able to almost have a physical body again.
Since the body parts were successfully found, a ball was held that Sunday. Eliza used a pair of gloves to dance with Recette, who had taken in Slinky from the Item Shop, and also helped to manage Crown and Gible, a Pokemon that Dahlia had retrieved from one of the formerly-locked rooms. Both Eruna and Recette, as well as Zack and Szayel, would end up kissing during this ball to the influence of a Kiss Note used to sign in as well. It was probably around this time that Eliza started to think of Zack and Recette as siblings, since her next message to the living contained half-joking threats to kill Szayel and Eruna if they ever broke the hearts of the former two.
On Week 5, Fav announced that there was a traitor among the group, and that they would be forced to kill this week or lose something important to them. Eliza didn't do much during this week, although she did find Ash and talk with him a bit about his Pokemon. On Friday, Eruna was found with a dagger in her heart. Eliza was very upset when she showed up, feeling somewhat like she had cursed Eruna to die with her death threat, which she ended up crossing off her letter. However, she soon cheered up a bit when Eruna showed off one of her regained powers, and she spent some time just showing it off, to Eliza's delight. At the trial, it was soon revealed that Joshua was both the killer and the traitor, and he submitted to his execution with the most dignity of any culprit. Even so, Eliza ended up trying to punch him when he appeared in deadland. While he avoided her first punch, he did help her up when she nearly went sprawling as a result, so she ended up not punching him as hard as she usually would have.
On Week 6, the barrier outside the town finally came down. Unfortunately, this meant that someone else could enter the town. On Monday, Kaine was found dismembered in the school, and Zack and Recette found a room that apparently had belonged to Joshua to use as the traitor. M appeared to them and told them that a serial killer known as the Magical Girl Hunter had invaded the town, and offered an escape to anyone who could find her. This offer was refused by both of them. Meanwhile, Eliza met Kaine in deadland, although she didn't realize he was dead at first. She was happy to explain about M's true identity as Zange, but Kaine's odd behavior and apologies led to some confusion-until she finally realized that he was the one who had killed her. She immediately tried to punch him, not for killing her, but for not confessing and thus causing Recette so much emotional pain. While he dodged, she kept swinging, everything he said only making her madder until he finally gave in and let her hit him. After that, she calmed down a bit and told him about the keys and the border.
On Tuesday, Taiki was found with his head cut off in the dojo, and on Wednesday, Dahlia was found with her heart cut out in the women's baths. Eliza ended up there when Szayel came along to investigate, and she amused herself somewhat by messing with him since he couldn't see her. Dahlia herself ended up coming along to see what was going on, and learned from Eliza's statement that Kaine was her actual killer. She and Eliza ended up having a bit of a talk about Zange and whether or not she could be trusted, with Eliza having absolute faith in the goddess and her ritual to revive everyone, while Dahlia tried to point out the problems with her trust.
On Thursday, Edna was found dead in the observatory. At the same time, Eliza used the ghostly network to send out a request for others to join her in seeking out the ritual locations among the boundary. Edna ended up being the only one to join her, and the two chatted a bit about Edna's powers over earth as they did the hunting and marking.
Szayel was found in the morgue on Friday, and he freaked out once he woke up as a ghost. Eliza did seek him out to apologize for thinking he killed her, but refused to apologize for anything else she had done, since she still considered herself in the right for defending Zack. She ended up cutting the conversation short when he discussed tormenting Kaine further, and tried to kick him in the shin before running away.
On Saturday, Zack was found in the police station. He also went on a bit of a rampage as a ghost, before collapsing on the ground. When Eliza realized he was dead, she started hugging him while bawling, and soon both of them were sobbing for a while. She punched him lightly for the killing he'd done, and then revealed that Kaine had killed her, and managed to stop Zack from getting revenge for that right away. And after a bit more sobbing and cursing the people who set up this game, they ended up falling asleep on each other there.
On Sunday, Moeka was found dead in the restaurant. However, by then, Zange was finally able to contain the Hunter, and Week 7 opened with an announcement that now they were down to four people, there would be one final trial, where they would have to uncover the mysteries of the town, as well as figure out the identity of the Hunter and whoever killed Eliza. While Eliza flinched at this, a library had been revealed in this final week, so she ended up sending out a message through the network asking if they could use books to give clues of some sort. Some of the other dead had put their clues together and figured out that the Hunter was likely Snow White, so Dahlia ended up providing Miach with this book as a hint, while Eliza dropped this book to hint that Kaine had killed her, since his magical form had a crab theme, and his magical name had been assigned as "Crabby Copycat." Dahlia also used ouija to give further insight into these clues for Miach, allowing her to put the pieces together.
On Monday, Recette also ended up at the steel tower, where ghosts of previous games could be heard by the living. Rose was there, and she passed on several messages from Zack, before Eliza arrived at the foot of the tower and called for Rose to pass on a message that she loved Recette like a sister. Unfortunately, the actual part about sisterly love was left out when Rose passed it on.
Later on, on Thursday, Hinata called another meeting, where he ended up warning Eliza that she was close to running out of mana from all her transforming and interacting with the world. It was also at this meeting that they met the anthropomorphic personification of the impurity that had previously been gathering around town, who had formed into a humanoid form. He had been sealed in a coffin until Recette opened it, and when Eliza heard about this she immediately bristled and threatened to kill him if he'd hurt Recette in any way. Zack had to pull her back (again).
They also learned that the hostages were being held behind a locked door in the dollhouse. However, it turned out to be passable for ghosts. Eliza ended up following Zack there, and she ended up comforting him when his hostage, Ray, couldn't hear or see him. While she tried to figure out some way they could free the hostages, there turned out to be nothing in the room they could use.
Finally, on the actual day of the trial, everyone was on edge. Luckily, it seemed like Miach had been successful in understanding the clues, and Seraphina had helped figure out that the events of the town were apparently being broadcast. However, soon it came time to find out who the mastermind was-and Zange revealed herself, immediately putting on the cold and nasty attitude of M. However, none of the other living really bought it, and were able to poke holes in her claims of not caring. When Zack screamed in Zange's ear about lying, she ended up threatening him, and Eliza immediately threatened to kick her in the shin once they were resurrected. It was also at this time that she admitted she'd started to see Zack as an older brother at some point.
Despite everyone pushing at Zange, she simply told them that they would have to vote for "Death" or "Life" to see if she was allowed to live. While it came down to the wire and Eliza actually considered sacrificing her own existence to break the rules and explicitly tell them to vote "Life," in the end they did it. Once that happened, Zange finally regained her full power, and performed the ritual to revive everybody, before telling them the town would crumble soon, and that they all had to return to their own worlds without any of their memories. Eliza woke up in the morgue, and immediately hugged the closest person, who turned out to be Beyond Birthday. She did also punch him, as she'd been doing for all the other killers. After a bit of talk about what he planned to do after returning home, she ended up finding Recette and telling her that she thought of her as a sister outright.
After asking her, Zange allowed the ones who asked for it to keep their memories of the town, but said that she would need an offering of some sort if people wanted to travel to others' worlds. Worried about what such an offering could mean, Eliza offered to simply hunt down Palkia in her world and use its space powers to bring her between worlds. However, Zange revealed that all she wanted was simply items of any sort, or worship, both of which Recette could offer in abundance. Thus, Zack would end up going back with Recette, bringing along Ray. Eliza also handed over Crown to him, along with a feather from Blade's wings for both him and Recette, and she received Recette's hair tie in exchange. Finally, everything was resolved, and Eliza planned to head home.
How did they change from their canon personality wise (Please explain what caused it to happen?)
While not necessarily a "change" so much as something that has always been part of her and which her experiences brought out, Eliza has developed a strong sense of loyalty and protectiveness towards those she cares about. She will refuse to believe that they could be responsible for any wrongdoing unless they outright admit it, and will happily fight against anyone who threatens or picks on the people she cares about. She has also started to learn what it means to care about people more than herself, and has become almost self-sacrificing in her desire to protect them.
A lot of this comes from the simple fact that Eliza has not had any human friends for a long time. While she has had her Pokemon, they haven't been with her for that long comparatively, and her relationship with them is different by nature. Now that she has managed to make friends, she doesn't want to lose them, and thus has shown that she is willing to stand by them even if everyone else turns against them. In truth, as Ash called her out on, this loyalty can be seen as an extension of her selfishness, as she simply extends the circle of who she cares about from herself only to herself and her friends only.
Thanks to this loyalty and the fact that a lot of the people Eliza befriended were kind of terrible, Eliza's morality has also shifted somewhat. She is much less likely to think badly of people just because they've killed someone, and has accepted that there are people who might deserve to die as well. While she still gets angry at people when they admit to killing, she most likely won't cut off ties with them just because of that, and she'll only really want a murderer punished if they end up hurting someone she cares about.
Eliza has lost some of her arrogance after getting herself killed, realizing that she got herself in over her head, and is somewhat more humble about her own abilities. Despite this, she is still willing to tangle with or threaten people way above her weight class if the people she cares about are involved. As a matter of fact, thanks to Zack's influence, she now sees violence as being an appropriate solution in a lot more contexts.
Thanks to Eruna calling her "cute" and flirting with her, Eliza has started to realize that she is attracted to both boys and girls, although she didn't really end up with any romantic prospects in Town A. She's also learned about how terrible parents can really be from listening to Recette and Zack discuss their biological parents, and is a bit more accepting towards her own now.
Eliza's become less enamored with magical girl shows after learning about their "dark side," and will be much more suspicious about the intentions of adorable mascots. She's also become less concerned about appearances as well, and is more willing to approach people she might have found "creepy" before, thanks to her bond with Zack. She also has developed some trauma from going through a murdergame, and is now somewhat more paranoid about losing the people she loves, as well as about places not being what they seem.
How did they change from their canon physically (Please explain what caused it to happen?):
Eliza now has a magical girl form that she can change into, which she gained upon accepting Fav's offer, and which enhances her strength and jumping ability. In this form, Eliza's outfit transforms into a pink-and-white dress with a few purple highlights, and she gains a pair of feathered lavender wings. Her hair grows even longer, and gains a few purple strands running through it. She has also died and been brought back, and while she has no physical scars it may be possible to sense that she has died before.
Powers:
Illusion - Eliza has the psychic ability to create very realistic-acting visual illusions subconsciously, simply by thinking of what she wants to happen and willing it to happen. Because of this, she believes that her powers are telekinetic, since she regularly creates illusions of things moving on their own. However, looking close will reveal that her illusions are slightly translucent.
World of Confusion - Whenever she is hit by one of Witch's Confuse Ray attacks, Eliza enters an alternate world where she is a ruler of some sort, as well as a magical girl, and her Pokemon are similarly either human or monster companions of some sort. There seems to be some supernatural influence beyond her own imagination, since on occasion she can "hear" what her Pokemon say to her in this state, although she definitely puts her own spin on things.
Magical Girl Form - As mentioned above, Eliza has a magical girl form she can transform into that grants her enhanced strength and jumping ability. She needs her magical phone on her to perform this transformation, though.
Possessions:
-Magical phone
-Slinky the Tepig
-Blade the Pidgey
-Witch the Vulpix
-Dragon the Diglett
-Flute the Phanpy
-Hair tie with two red beads
-Pokeballs for her five Pokemon
-Her Mega Ring, Big Root, and Seal Pack
