Phoebe is an independent woman, who moved out of her parents' home as soon as she was able. She never felt comfortable living with them, given her own sexuality and their strict views on things. As a result, she is rather distant from both her mother and father, visiting only during holidays. She loves them, but doesn't like to stay with them for long periods of time, as they judge her for not being married or having kids.

Another driving force in her determination to live alone, was her magic powers. As a magic girl, she had duties. Her parents ended up asking too many questions if she got home too late - questions she could not answer for fear of being taken to a psych ward. As it is now, she finds she struggles to balance her rigid work hours with her magical alter-ego, whose responsibilities she finds outweighs that of her work.

She is sweet, quiet and a bit nerdy. Very mature and responsible, seen as the mother-figure both among her friends as well as among her magic girl squad. Normally not fussy about her looks, although she tries to groom herself to look professional and mature, knowing that the social expectations on women are to look pretty. She always looks to please others, to the point where she often forgets herself a bit and stretches herself too thin. Yoga helps keep her in shape, keep her limber, and also de-stress after work or hectic missions. Her squad works against corruptive forces of nature, spirits and other things that influence mankind to harm the world.
