#ms. chatham the ancestral magical girl probably gives cleo gracie's locket and appoints her leader of the group??? much 2 think about

[opalsiren]

thinking about the h2o girlies as magical girls on this day

cleo in a cute sparkly blue outfit like her locket, or maybe purple since emma wears blue, too. she is the leader of the group since the shy, reserved one tends to be thrust into this position in magical girl media, and honestly i would love this for her. has powers over hydrokinesis, and also aerokinesis, so her element is air. idk i like to think that, since she's the leader, the girlies are all more powerful when she's with them? or mayhaps she is the only one able to trigger the magical girl transformation with her locket or sth. given her aerokinesis she is definitely the most proficient at flying too

emma definitely wears a pale blue get-up, maybe with white or silver accents like her locket. she has ice and snow powers obvi, and is able to control clouds and storms with cleo and rikki's help. definitely takes to being a magical girl easily, but struggles with cleo being the main decision-maker of the group since she sees herself as a leader. water is her element, and i can totally see her with healing abilities à la katara avatar the last airbender. i think reckoning with these powers would help her overcome her jealousy and control issues with cleo, since emma is deeply compassionate at her core, seeing herself as someone who helps others above all else

rikki for sure has an adorable red 'fit, mayhaps with accents of orange or black. her element is fire, a pyrokinetic queen who can conjure up lightning in an instant. she probably takes to being a magical girl the easiest out of the three of them. she thinks the transformation is the coolest thing to ever happen to them, maybe to anyone, while cleo and emma struggle with the secrecy and their new roles within the dynamic. def starts dating zane in secret and hates having to conceal her powers from him

i am an earthbender!bella truther first and a person second, so i am giving miss girl earth powers. she can create earthquakes and manipulate flowers and plants too, because i say so. she probably has a green locket and an outfit to match. i'm gonna give charlotte powers over quintessence, the fifth element, like fellow redhead extraordinaire will vandom; she is able to shoot miscellaneous power bolts from her hands, can speak to animals, and animate inanimate objects, especially those that are electric. a purple locket and matching sparkly outfit is necessary (or pink, if cleo wears purple)

i notice lewis and zane wear a lot of white and black respectively, so if (and that's a very big if) either are involved in the magic of it all, they definitely wear the two opposing colours. not sure what their powers might be but they definitely both deserve midriff-exposing, wing'd outfits too. if lewis has powers they are definitely something science-oriented, while zane is a proficient engineer in canon, so perhaps he could be like an atla-type metalbender? i do like the idea of lewis and zane as accompaniments to charlotte's powers, since they are both 'additions' to the group and arguably could be sympathetic to her, too

where the 1950s girlies fit into this whomst knows. thanks for coming to my insomnia-induced rant 🥰
