i always come out on top!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ever since they were a young child, Blanc's parents have set the expectation for them - you have to be the best. It's not enough to be good, you have to exceed, no matter the cost. Blanc learned to push themselves as hard as they could manage - up all night studying, waking up early to hit the pool before anyone else, signing up for the most difficult instrument they offered at school - they wouldn't rest until they were on top. Only the best would make their parents proud.
While they don't have any enemies, they don't really have any friends either. Most people are turned off by their attitude - something that doesn't bother them. Making friends would simply slow them down - time they don't have if they want to stay on top of their game. They schedule their days down to the minute and won't rest until they're happy.
One student he helped on numerous occassions with homework had given him a gift - a strange cat plushie. It wasn't Blanc's style in the slightest, but they kept it, it would be rude to toss away a gift. Imagine their chagrin when one day the plushie suddenly came alive- morphing into a smug-faced, punk-clothed douchebag, smirking at him from the foot of his bed. The boy was entirely unhelpful as to discovering what the hell was going on, instead content to simply poke fun and troll Blanc.
Blanc's distaste of the stranger was immediate.
After forcing the boy (who claimed to be called Alex!) back into the plush, Blanc sat there, trying to figure out what to do with it. Tempted to throw it away, but they couldn't commit murder - when another presence filled their room. A strange spirit greeted Blanc and Alex, smiling wisely and informing them of their new purpose - they had been chosen to help keep the city safe. And in order to do so, they would have to work with Alex, as Alex was the key to their transformation.
Blanc was immediately disgusted and almost shouted no in response before pausing - this was another chance to prove themself, right? Why wouldn't they leap at the opportunity? Perhaps they and Alex had gotten off on the wrong foot. With a heavy sigh, Blanc agreed to the spirit's terms.
I alone can protect this city!
It turns out, however, there were a few magical kids in their city already. Upset that they had been beaten to the punch, they clashed with Aurelia and her teammate Manuela a few times. Despite the two inviting them to join, Blanc shunned their invitation, uninterested in receiving help. Instead, they pushed Alex for the two of them to be the best magical kids in the entire city, desperate to clear more enemies than those other losers.
After all, if they're not the best, what's the point?
Sometimes they suddenly wake up at home, and its morning, and they have no idea how they got back there. Alex in plush form sits on their bed. They growl and knock him off their bed.
