SATOU KURONEKO | Original Character | 3/10 priceofmagic December 9 2011, 06:23:51 UTC
When Fate saw that Satou's father was about to screw things up she activated a fail safe in Satou; when fatally wounded Satou's fail safe "turned on" and inspired her to collect a frickton of magic all at once. She would heal her wounds and collect spare magic to store for future use, bringing her closer to reaching her maximum potential. What Fate hadn't counted on was that fail safe Satou had a terrible method of healing herself. She would put her fatal wounds on someone else's body, take their health and then murder them to collect all of the emotional potential their life would have ever produced.

This was how Yosuke was murdered by his own daughter.

This sent Horie off of the deep end. But this time, rather than vowing to revive her family, Horie decided she wanted to make everyone who caused the incident suffer. That meant making Fate, Vinita, and even Satou miserable.

Satou's memories were quickly suppressed to avoid a dangerous mental meltdown. Vinita and the MASQ stepped in to try to take control of the situation and handle Satou, who was now labeled "unintentionally dangerous". Vinita explained to the girls that their magic wasn't free and they had a lot of debt racked up. That debt had caused their parents to "forget about them"--- Vinita didn't want to tell them Yosuke was dead and Horie had left-- and they could earn their parents back through work.

To do this though, they needed to be recognized by the MASQ and titled. However, magical titles are not handed out freely; getting a title is like saying you are ready to be tried as an adult if you commit a crime. Normally, magic users have to wait until they are at least 16 years old. But Masume and Satou could not wait this long. Luckily, there was a solution; there was a yearly contest that allowed young magic users with exceptional potential to be titled early. They needed a recommendation to be allowed to enter and Vinita supplied this.
Both girls entered the contest. But Vinita's intentions weren't all pure. She hired assassins to kill the sisters before they could be used by Fate or Horie to hurt her. The sisters went around making friends while dodging attempts on their life.

Even so, Satou and Masume won the contest. Worse yet, Fate Dystini stepped in again. She helped the girls make many friends to help them become stronger faster. Three of the most important characters to Satou are Mikale Godono, Touka Takamachi, and Shugo Yumeno.

~ Mikale Godono is a childhood friend of Satou's, though they don't recognize each other. Vinita hires him to assassinate her, but due to Fate's manipulation he ends up falling in love with her and losing his resolve to kill her.
~ Touka Takamachi is another girl in the title competition. Satou and Masume rescue her and she begins traveling with them. Like Mikale, Touka develops a crush on Satou as a result of Fate setting up numerous situations to help them get closer.
~ Shugo Yumeno was oblivious to his magical powers before Masume and Satou came to his rescue. As a result of meeting them he becomes interested in magic and vows to become a great mage that can protect Satou. Because guess what? Shugo has a crush on her too.

There is a theme here. Fate set people up to fall in love with the sisters and protect them from danger. The small harem that Satou starts building is meant to protect her, even if she doesn't realize its there.

But they could not prevent Vinita from continuing to fight back. As a last resort, Vinita separated the sisters. Only Masume made it to the awards ceremony, where she accepted the title "Witch of Virtues", and Satou just vanished off of the face of the planet.
