Intention for this universe is fun and campy, sometimes a touch genre savvy. (I'm not looking to go too crazy on the genre savvy, just a dab here or there that's probably appropriate to how long-lived Passion is.) This particular storyline is overtly magical girl pastiche, but it connects with... whatever. It exists in a multiverse. Passion's original world is an all pink magical girl kingdom, but she can be the blade picked up in all manner of stories.

Passion Flare is a living weapon. She was first gifted to the Empress Philomella by the primordial goddess of women, love, and beauty. This gift was a testament to the power of those principles, and Empress Philomella used the powerful sword to defend her kingdom against warmongers from other worlds who thought she would be conquered easily.

The Enduring Blade may only be taken up by a woman, in the service of good and justice and love. She is particularly drawn into lost causes that long for their deus ex machina to fall from the sky. Like a shooting star, the Enduring Blade will be there.

Sometimes she stays only for a single battle, and then releases her wielder from the violence of war. Some wielders, however, are able to see Passion Flare's true nature and develop a much closer relationship with her. In those instances, she spends more time as a peer than as a tool. A confidante, an advisor, and a friend. She has overseen the safety of empires for ages; passed on, befriended and inherited through family lines.

But the Enduring Blade is immortal. She is a fragment of divinity, with a purpose that will live on as long as there is a fierce heart still beating in the chest of a woman.

Her most recent wielder is a witch name Zenaide Haywood. Zee has been heartbroken and living under a curse for a long time. So Passion Flare has come to draw her into the fight for love and justice in order to unlock the potential that has been squandered for so long. Zenaide is living in a Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Halloweentown kind of story, so Passion has also been living with her in a mix of regular old earth and supernatural shenanigans lately. When not dragging Zee off on her magical girl battle of the week.

This is a new character I cooked up during the misery of 2020, just something cheerful and fun. So that's what I'm the most interested in pursuing. Some adventure, some friendship! But I'm also never opposed to some negative CR. Passion is quite assertive and can be stubborn AF, so I can easily see her butting heads with people of different perspectives. She's pretty damn close to Lawful Good, so people with more flexible morality structures may find her frustrating and sanctimonious. I'm game, I'm down.
