Background
Xia Ya grew up in Cloud City. A Monster attack killed her parents when she was young; a Magical Girl rescued her and became the inspiration for Xia Ya's own decision to protect others. She believes a true Magical Girl must stand firm during disaster rather than flee from it. 124
By the beginning of the story, she is active as both a Magical Girl and an idol. Her public battles and performances make her recognizable in Cloud City, though her follower count remains below that of many established Magical Girls. 1 7 9
Appearance
Xia Ya is a pink-haired Magical Girl with twin-tails. Her Magical Girl attire is pink and white, and she fights with a wand-like staff.

- Pink-and-white Magical Girl outfit. 20
- Uses a wand or staff as her Magic Armament. 8 9
- Can suppress her magical power and condense her Magical Girl attire into casual clothing. 16
Personality
Xia Ya is practical, disciplined, and deeply protective of civilians. She dislikes needlessly theatrical battles, preferring to eliminate Monsters quickly before they can cause further harm, even when her fairy Har argues that spectacle would generate more fans and emotional energy. 7 21
Her strength is supported by extreme diligence. She wakes at four in the morning for dance training and hunts Monsters after school, developing close-combat ability far beyond what opponents expect from a staff user. 9
Away from battle, she can be shy and easily flustered, but she is also playful around Molis. She takes promises seriously, readily supports others' growth, and becomes insecure when she feels left behind by Molis's rapid progress. 13 17 43 111

Shallow Tier Monster Incident
