Head & Art Mod
This will be Rosy's first zine.
I really just wanted to make a zine about magical girls and I thought fashion would be cute. I've got a lot of fond memories of magical girl shows and manga and I really just like a lot of the character relationships shown in them! And especially the outfits, haha!

Sheri!
Graphics Mod
I don't have any experience in modding but I do have personal experiences in being a creatives/graphic design head and member for various local youth organizations and school clubs.
Hello! I'm sheri and I love magical girls since they have inspired and empowered me in a way to become strong and determined amidst the challenges that one may face in different aspects of life. Growing up with a passion for art, graphic design, and video edits, I love to express myself confidently and experimentally through different creative ideas and mediums.

Hi! I've always loved both fashion and the magical girl genre. While I'd love to have magical powers, I think dressing for yourself can be its own kind of magic! I'm really excited to celebrate these subjects in this upcoming zine!
