Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aww this show is so adorable heart

It looks cute but I've never actually seen it.

I suppose I'll have to remedy that. XD

I love that show so much. I'm practically an expert on it.

Lol wow. Well it may take a bit, but I'll be happy to post. I'll try to get to that today.

Part Two:

Meeting the Team

The first team member Ichigo encounters is Minto Aizawa, aka Mint. Mint is a wealthy girl Ichigo's age, and loves to do ballet. Ichigo meets Minto for the first time while walking home from school. A small dog runs up to Ichigo, who picks him up and holds him while he proceeds to lick her cheek excitedly. Moments later, a girl in a nice dress with her hair up in odango walks up and takes the dog, coming across as polite yet stuck up as she tells Ichigo the dog is hers and scolds the dog for licking a common person. (To those not familiar with it, odango is a Japanese hairstyle where the hair is tied up in two buns, one on either side of the head. It is called "odango" because the buns supposedly remind people of dango, which are little round dumplings.) The girl introduces herself as Minto Aizawa and gives Ichigo a fancy handkerchief to clean her face with. Ichigo is surprised at the softness of it, and when she offers it back after using it, Minto rejects it with a slightly stuck-up air and gets into a car to be taken home.

Later on, Ichigo is sitting alone with Masha, a tiny robot given to her by Ryo, when she notices Minto exiting a building nearby, where a ballet performance has just been held with Minto as the star. Ichigo tries to engage in a conversation, interested by Minto's hobby, but is once again ignored by the wealthier girl. Ichigo decides to follow Minto home and return her handkerchief, whether Minto wants it back or not. Upon arriving, she meets a pleasant elderly woman who acts as a housekeeper for the Aizawa family. When Minto comes down to see what's going on, Ichigo offers once again to return the cloth, and is told quite firmly to leave. After a bit of irritated fussing, Ichigo starts to head home.

Miki, Minto's dog, follows her outside and watches her walk away. Then, a small, jellyfish-like creature with a glowing center, much like the one that mutated the rat in the park and attacked Aoyama, drifts into view next to Miki's head, and when Miki turns to look at it, it fuses with him. Miki becomes crazed and feral, and walks back inside, where a concerned Minto is walking downstairs again to search for him. Minto notices Miki is acting strange and wonders what's going on, at which point the mutation takes place and Miki becomes a Chimera Animal, a combination of an animal and the alien parasites which had fused with him and the rat. In a blind rage, he attacks his master, no longer recognizing her. Ichigo, who is still just outside the house at this point, hears the commotion and rushes inside to help. She transforms and stops Miki from harming Minto. Minto is confused and very scared, and distracts Ichigo by asking what's going on. While Ichigo is busy trying to respond, Miki takes advantage of the chance and slams his now giant paw into them, sending both girls sprawling across the floor. Ichigo notices a marking on Minto's back, the exact kind of mark she has been told to look for when searching for teammates. She encourages Minto to transform, and Masha floats over and spits out a pendant much like Ichigos. Minto protests that she can't transform, and at that precise moment, Miki strikes again. Minto panics and grabs the pendant, crying out in fear. A blinding light floods the room and Minto transforms into her own alter ego, with the DNA of a bird known as the Ultramarine Lorikeet. As she stares in shock at her new form, Ichigo tells her to help fight, and Minto again protests that she can't. Ichigo tries to reassure her, saying to her calmly, "You transformed, didn't you?" At this, Minto realizes Ichigo has a point, and summons her weapon, a small bow which fires heart-shaped arrowheads made of what seems to be energy. After a couple attacks and a finishing blow from Ichigo, the alien parasite seperates from Miki's body and Miki returns to normal. Masha collects the parasite, as he does with every parasite after it has been defeated and seperated from its respective host. Minto hugs her dog, crying and exclaiming how happy she is that he's back to normal and unharmed. Ichigo smiles and invites her to join the team, and Minto says that because Ichigo saved her beloved Miki, she will accept.

The final scene of the two consists of Minto at the cafe, in her new waitress uniform. She and Ichigo have a brief conversation, which leaves the clear impression that their new bond is somewhat of a love-hate friendship, as Minto hasn't changed and still thinks herself somewhat better than Ichigo.

Character info:
Name: Minto Aizawa
Age: 13
Hair color: Black (human) blue (mew)
Eye color: brown (human) blue (mew)
DNA: Ultramarine Lorikeet

Fun fact: The word used to start each of the mews' attacks is mistranslated in most English subbed versions of the series. It is subbed as "Ribbon," but in fact information has shown that it is meant to be "Reborn."

Meeting the Team Continued

Between the discovery of the third member of the team and the episode in which the fourth is found, Ichigo meets the mysterious boy from before, who initiates contact with her by dropping from nowhere and kissing her, which leaves her in total shock. The boy is pale-skinned, wearing a strange outfit and bearing very large, pointed ears. He introduces himself as Kishu and proclaims that Ichigo is his new toy. Later on he is seen at a carnival Ichigo goes to with Aoyama, and causes chaos. The other two mews, Minto and Retasu, show up and aid in his defeat, but Kishu insists he will return and leaves with a flirty comment directed at Ichigo. A few more episodes go by with more sightings of Kishu, who starts using special alien parasites and fusing them with pure human souls instead of animals, thinking this will be a more effective method of eradicating the mews so his race can take over the planet.

Another day, while at the park, Ichigo stops for a rest while carrying some groceries back to the cafe. She stops to sit on a park bench and enjoys the moment of relaxation. She is startled when a small girl in a bright orange outfit pops out of the bush behind her and offers to do some tricks for her. After an impressive, daredevil stunt show, the girl asks for tips. Ichigo, though very pleased by the show, has no money left and instead gives her candy and tries to get away with it by bolting with her groceries. The little girl follows, making a scene and attracting attention from many people. Ichigo is embarrassed and doesn't know how to react. Suddenly the girl pulls out a top hat and says she knows just the trick to get a real tip from Ichigo. Out of the hat, she pulls a huge shark. Ichigo panics, and her cat ears and tail pop out, as they have become habit to do when she is embarrassed or scared. The shark grabs her tail in its teeth, and the crowd claps excitedly, thinking it's part of the stunt. Ichigo hurries away and hides, and the girl follows her, popping up again and begging Ichigo to teach her how she made the ears and tail appear. Ichigo tells her she can't, but the girl doesn't listen and excitedly bounds around, thinking she's getting to learn a great new trick.

Ichigo tricks the little girl, whose name turns out to be Purin Fon (aka Pudding), by giving her a fake training exercise and running off while Purin is distracted. Purin catches up with Ichigo a shorttime later while Ichigo is talking to Retasu, who came looking for her at Ryo's request. Purin yells at Ichigo, telling her she was mean for running off instead of teaching her how to grow cat ears. Ichigo drops her groceries and runs for it, leading Pruin on a chase all over town. Exhausted, Ichigo eventually stops for a break and Purin catches up, snatching the handkerchief Ichigo was about to use and telling her she has to teachher the cat-ear trick to get it back. Ichigo finally snaps, telling Purin off and saying she should stop bothering older people. Purin's enthusiasm fades, and she sits there, upset, as Ichigo walks away.

Into the evening, as the sun begins to set, Purin is back in the park, riding her giant ball and trying to get cat ears on her own. As she touches her cat-ear-less head, feeling discouraged, Kishu shows up again. When Purin asks him who he is, Kishu claims he is an angel who "fell from heaven to grant her wish." Purin calls him a liar and says, "An angel wouldn't have an evil face like that!" Kishu responds by telling her off and attempting to steal her pure soul. Suddenly Kishu is hit by the ball, which was kicked very hard at him by Ichigo, who has shown up in her mew form to rescue Purin. After grabbing Purin and trying to evade Kishu's fierce attacks, Ichigo spots the rest of the team up ahead of her, and the team takes on a Chimera Animal created with another soul Kishu had collected earlier. The fight is rough until Purin's forehead begins to glow, revealing her marking, which consists of two curled monkey tails forming an oval. Her DNA is revealed to be that of the Golden Lion Tamarin, a kind of monkey. With her help, the team beats Kishu's chimera animal and Kishu once again leaves, promising to be back again soon. Purin then joins the team and is welcomed as the fourth Mew Mew.
