Personality[]
Riko is a thirteen years old girl who attends a school in the magic world. She is great at studying but her magic is quite weak due to her ability of using it, this makes her hope to become a respectable witch sometime in the future. When she lives with Mirai, her life becomes a little less worrisome and more bright.
Etymology[]
Riko ( リコ ) : Riko has no meaning in katakana but in kanji, it has two meanings. It can mean 'jasmine child' with this kanji ( 莉子 ) or 'truthful child' with this kanji ( 理子 ).
Izayoi ( 十六夜 ) means "sixteen days old moon". A sixteen days old moon has just passed its fullest phase, so it is at this point that its brightness begins to decline.
Cure Magical means something that can be produced by or as if it is magic.
