America Mew Mew

From Kokorodatabase

Revision as of 20:49, 29 August 2009

America Mew Mew is an alternate dimension that bases its roots off the qusestion, "What if Professor and Mrs. Shirogane didn't die in the fire?". Based off the question, the answer seems to be that the Shirogane family would still live in the United States with the professor's assistant, Akasaka Keiichiro, along with other various family members. The most notable difference from canon here is not only the location, but the fact that Shirogane Ryou's character has changed dramatically, and that he is no longer an only child, but has a younger brother, Shirogane Shuugo.

Differences from Canon

All mew mews, save for Midorikawa Retasu, have alternates that take their role. The list of who's who is as follows:

• Momomiya Ichigo's alternate is Mimi Belmont
• Aizawa Minto's alternate is Celsia Archer
• Midorikawa Retasu is the same in both dimensions
• Fon Purin's alternate is Primrose Wallace
• Fujiwara Zakuro's alternate is Sorrel Hayden
• Shirayuki Berii's alternate is Ciel Chaffee
• Aoyama Masaya's alternate is Miles Alesci
• Tasuku Meguro's alternate is Shirogane Shuugo
• Kisshu's alternate is Chive
• Pai's alternate is Panforte
• Taruto's alternate is Briar
• Akasaka Keiichiro stays the same in both dimensions
• Shirogane Ryou stays the same in both dimensions

Shirogane Jishou and Elizabeth are still alive, as the fire that killed them never occurred. It should be noted that in the Shirogane Mansion, Ryou's immediate family are not the only ones living there - in AMM, the mansion is shared with Jishou's aunt, uncle, and his cousins (Ryou's great-aunt, uncle, cousin once removed, and two second cousins)

The Saica Mage System is used with the Shirogane children, as well as with Roy Bancroft, Nilos Sage, and Mizuhara Minoru.

Residents

* While there are many in AMM, these are only a few that appeared in Kokoro

Chive: The first alien to appear in AMM. At first, Chive was completely immature despite being from the army to lead the invasion on Earth. He's slowly matured over time as he realizes that Mimi won't ever return his feelings, but he still wants to try. Unlike Kisshu, Chive knows how to completely blend into his surroundings, and he'll often do so to gain an advantage over his enemies. However, this usually doesn't work as his grasp of the English language is minimal at best. Chive's Chimera Anima usually turn into grotesque animals.

Midorikawa Retasu: see her main article

Miles Alesci: Mimi's boyfriend. Miles is the captain of Westridge's fencing team and often leads his team to victory in epee matches. He's lately gained an obsession with British soccer thanks to Mimi and his father, but he's still a talented fencer. While he seems like a perfect guy, Miles has a severe weakness when it comes to Mimi and the environment. He's often unsure of how to proceed with his relationship with Mimi, as she's his first girlfriend, but he loves spending time with her anyways. His family situation thus far is not clarified, but he has a doting aunt, Rosabella, who is already convinced that Miles and Mimi are going to get married and have many beautiful children.

Mimi Belmont: The heroine of AMM, Mimi was injected with Irimote Wildcat DNA while on her first date with Miles. She tends to overreact and act violent at times, but she has a good heart and truly cares for her friends and family more than anything in the world. When she's not working at the Beaumont Flower Shoppe and yelling at her boss, Mimi plays soccer for Westridge and tries to get along with her older sister Julie. Though Mimi doesn't mention it, she's a Conservative Jew and very fond of her religion.

Primrose Wallace: The youngest of the Mew Mews, Primrose is only ten years old and very spunky about life. Injected with Yellow Ringtail Lemur DNA, she's very fast and agile when transformed despite her sole attack being defensive. She's very polite around her elders, calling Ryou "Mr. Ryou" and Chive "Mr. Chive-Chive"; it's assumed she learned this early because of her Southern upbringing. Her father, Dr. Daniel Wallace, is a scientist that works with Judy Mizuhara and Jishou Shirogane. She also has a little brother, Bennett (two years younger), and two more unnamed younger siblings but she never mentions them.

Roy Bancroft: See main article.

Shirogane Shuugo: See main article.

Shirogane Ryou See main article.

Sorrel Hayden: The lead vocalist of local band Team Kingdom and the final Mew Mew. Sorrel is a very logical person, preferring to let evidence and rational thought rule her life instead of emotions and the supernatural. However, she's only fifteen, so she's prone to occasional bouts of emotion - especially when they concern her boyfriend Garner. While Sorrel's slightly aware of Celsia's schoolgirl crush on her, Sorrel chooses to view it as infatuation. She won't return Celsia's feelings, so she doesn't bother pretending that she will.

Major Events

Rough Timeline

Retcons

• The events of America Mew Mew were supposed to take place in Albany, New York. However, the location was retconned to Long Island, as Albany doesn't sound like a river or coastal town.

• AMM's real splitting point was meant to be the accident. But since one little event can't change a whole dimension, it was a series of events that triggered its splitting point. Max didn't spend much time in the US, so he ended up marrying Mariam instead; The Shirogane family never forgave Kotoko for her time spent with The Black Soul; Keiichiro was an assistant to both Professor Shirogane and his partner; and Liz accidentally got pregnant with Shuugo (Ryou was supposed to have been their only child).

• Mizuhara Minoru has been confirmed as a mage, but his powers derive more from summoning Genbu. (So his element would be water instead of earth.) Either way, he has been drafted into the mage group.

• Sorrel's last name is Hayden. (Early drafts wrote her as Linden, but that was never meant to happen.)

• There was a fourth alien, Raclette, who was supposed to join them. Instead, Raclette remained on the aliens' home planet as a secretary to the aliens' leader (whom they all nickname Deep Evil). Panforte is supposedly her younger brother.

Trivia

• Tsumara Fuyuki's father is still alive in AMM, but he retired from being an archeologist. Instead, he teaches classes on ancient artifacts at NYU.
• Mimi is most definitely an Expy of Kazeno Hikari, as the two look extremely similar. The only difference between the two are their personalities and upbringing: Hikari is eternally polite and kind, while Mimi is a ball of violence and tends to be a little too trigger-happy.
• Sorrel's bandmate Amy is supposed to be based off Ichigo (what with Amy's pink hair, bubbly outlook on life, and always energetic attitude towards her friends) and counts as more of an Expy than Mimi.
• The aliens and the elves are most definitely related, as the aliens are actually ancestors of modern elves (their ears are bigger because modern elves need to blend in, whereas the aliens were the only species on their planet).
• Kokoto still helps Liz out at the Flower Shoppe, and it's assumed that she's finally been forgiven for her time. Ryou and Roy note that "absolutely nothing" gets past Kokoto - and it was a miracle that Chive did.
