Early life
The protagonist used to live in a village on the outskirts of Kovomaka Kingdom. Born with the power to see spirits hiding in nature, they were often spotted conversing with sticks and rocks on the wayside. However, the villagers ostracized them for this ability, growing fearful and calling them a fraud. One day, the protagonist was visited by Biscotti, a sorcerer known for bringing magic to the kingdom. Several spirits appeared behind Biscotti, who invited the protagonist to enroll in Will-o'-Wisp Academy by promising they could meet even more spirits. On their way to Will-o'-Wisp, Biscotti told the protagonist how many of its graduates went on to hold important positions in Kovomaka Kingdom, but that was not his reason for teaching magic. Rather, he encouraged his pupils to learn everything there was to know about the world. That way, they do anything their hearts desired.

Trivia
- According to Shinichi Kameoka, the Mash and Mallow's designs are based on the characters Daniel Latimer (Mark Lester) and Melody Perkins (Tracy Hyde) from the 1971 film Melody. Another character from the film, Tom Ornshaw (Jack Wild), was the inspiration for Brown in the EGGLIA series.[4]
- In early development, when the game was planned to be titled Magic Summer Vacation: the magical vacation, the protagonist of the opposite gender would appear as the player character's boyfriend/girlfriend and had a designated attribute. The male protagonist was a wind-user named Tackle, a 15-year-old who struggled to express his emotions, which caused him to clash with his classmates.
- When naming the protagonist in Japanese, pressing Select changes the Hiragana and Katakana characters to Café au Lait Font.
Nomenclature
Their names come from marshmallow, a confectionary made from sugar and gelatin.
