Heroines of Legend: Fictional Universes - 27: Sora Naegino (Kaleido Star)



Strengths: Determined, assertive, charming, friendly, helpful, caring, carefree, energetic, creative, hardworking, headstrong, adaptable, loves what she does for giving people a magical experience from watching her performances.


Weaknesses: Overexerts herself, can be too eager and ardent for her own good, can be oversensitive, often disheartened in the face of competition, a little insecure and fears change and losing her connection to loved ones.


Powers/Abilities: Acrobatic skills, trampolining, trapeze training, swimming, daredevil feats in circus performances on stage.



Will: Strong.


Home/Place of Origin: Japan. Currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California, USA.


Occupation: Acrobat, trapeze artist.



Social Standing: Extrovert.


Ethnicity: Japanese.


Sexuality: Asexual speculation, since she shows no real romantic interest in the series: the Kaleido Stage circus is her love. Her first love, at any rate.


Other Trivia: An idealistic youth who shows the meaning of hard work and rising up to a challenge so as to improve your talent in order to entertain and enrich the lives of others, not merely for the sake of competition and ego. This gives her more depth than the typical teen girl optimist lead in anime. If anything she is like a female version of the chaste, naive shonen hero, with a dream of becoming the next best =blank=. Orphaned at a young age, she loves the family who raised her very much, and will do whatever it takes to fulfill her dreams, as an individual. She makes multiple great female friends throughout the series, most notably with the Kaleido Star idol Layla Hamilton; in spite of their differences in class and experience, they form a deep bond in their partnership. They are each other's muses. Not rivals, but kindred spirits. She represents hope for the creative arts, as well as demonstrating the potential danger and sacrifices required in achieving them. As her name suggests, she will rise, positively soar, as high as the stars.
