Arancia

Arancia Scorenote is a party member in Magical Vacation and a student at Will-o'-Wisp Academy. She is a musician who can use Sound Magic, and is close friends with Blueberry Lakeside and Lemon Airsupply. She also was meant to be a returning character in Magical Vacation 2 before the plot of Magical Starsign was conceived. This incarnation of her is depicted in the non-canon manga, Knights of the Universe.

Personality
Arancia is a talented performer who can learn a new instrument near instantly; a talent which she inherited from her musician parents. She tends to be very outward about her thoughts and likes to move at her own pace, often conveying her feelings in dreamy sentence fragments.

Appearance
Arancia's hair is green and tied in dreadlocks, topped with an orange and purple fez. Her eyes are also green, possessing a laid-back quality in their shape. For clothes, she wears an orange cone-shaped robe lined in purple fabric and patterned with tangerine triangles. Over her shoulders is a large collar that covers the robes' drawstring, and underneath is a baggy red suit with golden buckles. Her choice of footwear is leather shoes.

Backstory
Arancia and Kirsche Pintail are childhood friends who vowed to marry each other when they were young, though their companionship has waned since then, and Kirsche has become infatuated with Candy Mintblue. A few years ago, Arancia took part in a music contest and insulted the other contestants' songs before performing, outright stating that they were generic and sounded off-key. She has also lulled her parents and teachers to sleep with her music, allowing her to sneak in and out of lessons as she pleased.

Prologue
As the protagonist is rounding up their classmates, Arancia is in the academy's Music Room with Olive, Cassis, and Cider. They discuss the annual disappearances of past Will-o'-Wisp students who took part in the Valencia Beach vacation, then join the protagonist to find Cabernet. Arancia does show some concern for the puppet as he tries his best not to break down over memories of Chardonnay.

At the beach, she sits in the sand and watches Kirsche explore. When talked to, she reveals the childhood she shared with him and how he said they were going to get married. Sadly, Arancia is convinced that Kirsche has forgotten about that promise entirely after developing a crush on Candy.

Later that night, she tells Kirsche about the local Gummy Frogs, which really psyches him up. However, things go sour when Enigmas begin to terrorize the students, and Arancia tries to tend to Lemon's wounds after she is attacked. The Enigmas eventually overwhelm the students and bring them all to the Light Realm.

Light Realm
Arancia gets lucky after appearing in the new world, as the first person she reunites with is Kirsche. They both end up near the Forest Cave and work together to find their classmates. The duo reaches the cave's exit, only to find the protagonist and Pistachio talking to a person who looks exactly like Arancia. It turns out that an Enigma called Vulcanera took on Arancia's appearance to deceive the students, which is proven unsuccessful when he is defeated in battle.

Every Enigma's strength is restrained in the Light Realm, so Vulcanera hatches a plan to find a new source of power. He takes Kirsche away to another part of the Forest Cave to torture his psyche; that way, the Fire mage's heart will be vulnerable and will allow Vulcanera to perform a fusion. Arancia tells the protagonist and Pistachio that they should stay calm, as they can find help in Oturan Village. She then gives her classmates the Monster Encyclopedia to record information of the enemies they face.

Epilogue
"Arancia got married and gave birth to two children, and spent her days waiting for her hot-blooded husband to return home from the academy."

Knights of the Universe


In this continuity, Arancia is a member of Vanilla Nighthawk's brigade of magic knights. She bikes with Mash, Pistachio, Sorbet, Cider and Souffle to The "Sheep"'s crash site in Eldile Plains and attempts to attack it with a Double Catchy + Spirit's Waltz combo. Arancia's efforts prove to be unsuccessful as the mysterious entity counterattacks by firing a powerful laser beam, sending her flying with the rest of her friends. When all hope seems lost, Souffle intervenes by summoning Kerendu to fight The "Sheep".
