Setting

[edit]Series 1: FushigiBoshi
Fushigi-boshi is a hollow planet that has all of its inhabitants living inside. The story is set within the Ohisama no Kuni (おひさまの国　the kingdom of the sun) that governs the floating sun at the center of the planet called Ohisama no Megumi (the blessing of the sun). Periodical rotations of Ohisama no Kuni bring days and nights to the inhabitants of the planet because it shines on one side only.
On the interior shell of the planet, there are other six kingdoms. Each kingdom shares a duty:
Tsuki no Kuni (月の国　the kingdom of the moon) controls nights and watches Hoshi no Izumi (Spring of Stars), a gateway to outer space.
Mera-Mera no Kuni (メラメラの国　the kingdom of flames) changes "Ohisama no Megumi" into heat and keeps the temperature constant.
Shizuku no Kuni (しずくの国　the kingdom of water drops) makes clouds and rain with heat.
Kazaguruma no Kuni (かざぐるまの国　the kingdom of windmills) transports clouds and other products using wind.
Tane-Tane no Kuni (タネタネの国　the kingdom of seeds) produces plants using rain.
Hoseki no Kuni (宝石の国　the kingdom of jewels) makes ornaments.
Fushigiboshi only takes place during the 1st season. Futago Hime Gyu! (2nd season) takes place in another world called Gakkouboshi, meaning school star.
[edit]Series 2: Royal Wonder Academy
The Royal Wonder Academy is a specialized, prestigious institution for princesses and princes from all over the universe. If they complete their schooling and earn their diploma here, they earn the right to become the kings and queens of their planets. This school happens to be a boarding school, much like Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter. The school has very strict rules and tough guidelines that all students must follow. Student evaluation is based on a point scale system. If the student's point value reaches 100, he or she is promoted to the next level. On the contrary, if the student's point value reaches -100, he or she is expelled from school. Point records are kept in little notebooks, and first year students start with 10 points.
[edit]Story

[edit]Futago Hime
Seven royal families reign over each of the seven kingdoms, prospering inside the planet for a long time. However, Ohisama no Megumi or the internal star is beginning to die, and it has been forecast that it will disappear in one year. If it disappears, all of the planet will be covered in darkness. Twin princesses Fine and Rein receive a secret mission from Grace to investigate the reason for the star's decline. Using the power of the Prominence, they can hope to rescue the Ohisama no Megumi. Later in their investigation, an evil chancellor named Roman becomes so interested in the power of the Prominence that he steals the Prominence for his purposes. After he unleashes the ultimate enemy, evil begins to spread.
The evil power possesses Prince Bright. Under evil power, he attempts to rule the entire Fushigi-boshi. Fine and Rein, along with other people, try to investigate and defeat the powers of evil that possessed Bright.
[edit]Futago Hime Gyu!
Fine and Rein as well as the other princesses leave FushigiBoshi to attend the Royal Wonder Academy of Education. This prestigious institution is the school where Princes and Princesses from all of the planets come to receive their certification to become Kings and Queens. Upon arrival to school, Fine and Rein's unprincess-like actions cause them to violate school regulations and lose points. During the orientation of 1st-Year students, the vice-principal presents a legendary bell that will only ring when a certain person touches it. If the bell rings, the person is classified to be the "Universal Princess". No princess had ever rung the bell before. But Fine and Rein rang it, and they transformed.
Strange situations have also been occurring in school. A dark entity usually comes out and forces everyone to become depressed. When someone resisted, the dark entity would send monsters that damage property extensively. One of the first people to become possessed under this entity was Toma, the new president of the student advisory.

[edit]Henshin/Transformation

[edit]Futago Hime
Prominence Dress Up! (Princess Levels 1,2, and 3) - This transform is done when Fine and Rein take out their Sunny Luches and call their name as they rotate the wheel. Fine and Rein say their names and transform into well-dressed Princesses.
Prominence Fortune Pretty Up! (Princess Level 4) - This is the 2nd transformation. Fine and Rein hold hands together and use their Sunny Luches to call out the Crystal Fortulatte. The fortulatte spins and Fine and Rein and transform together. Their end-result dresses are the same as the Prominence Dress Up dresses.
Prominence Eternal Miracle Change! (Princess Level 5) - This is the 3rd transformation. This transformation is slightly similar to the Prominence Fortune Pretty Up transformation. However, the fortualatte spins longer and colorful lights shine out of the fortualatte. Fine and Rein receive all-white dresses at the end. Their crown is slightly modified as well.
[edit]Futago Hime Gyu!
Universal Princess! - In Futago Hime Gyu!, the transformation is activated by KyuKyu and PyuPyu. PyuPyu touches Fine's heart-shaped necklace and KyuKyu touches Rein's heart-shaped necklace. Next, the angels turn into spiritual balls and go inside their necklaces. Their rods appear afterwards and Fine and Rein change into dresses with many details.
Grand Universal Princess! - This transformation is similar to Universal Princess except that PyuPyu and KyuKyu touch their rods instead of their necklace. Fine and Rein's dresses have more details than the dresses from Universal Princess.
Grand Universal Princess! (Final Form) - Similar to the Grand Universal Princess dresses, both princesses have angel wings all of the time. "Subete no Happy o mamoru, Grand Universal Princess!".
[edit]Princess Levels

These levels measure the amount of experience Fine and Rein have obtained using the Prominence. Their main goal is to level up so that they can reach Level 5: Eternal Solar Princess, the highest Princess Level. Fine and Rein receive a Level Up when the Star Vial fills to the top and turns gold (Princess Levels 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4). They obtain the final level up (Princess Level 4-5) directly from Princess Grace.
In Futago Hime Gyu! Fine and Rein are Universal Princesses through episode 26 and Grand Universal Princesses from episode 27 until the end of the series.
[edit]Futago Hime
Level 1: Shobotto Princess - The 1st Princess Level. Fine and Rein only have 10% of the Princesses' power at this stage. It is featured from Episode 1 to 5.
Level 2: Chika-Chika Princess - 2nd level. Fine and Rein do not remain at this level for long. This Princess Level is featured from Episode 6 to 9.
Level 3: Kira-Kira Princess - Fine and Rein stay at this level for the majority of the first half of the series. This is also the level when the power of the Prominence is stolen. It is featured from Episode 10 to 27.
Level 4: Fortune Princess - This is the one with that brings the most amount of change. Fine and Rein gain the Crystal Fortulatte and lose the Star Vial. Also, their transformation sequence and attacks change. This Level is featured from Episode 28 to 36.
Level 5: Eternal Solar Princess - This is the 5th and final level. At this level, Fine and Rein wear different dresses at the end of their transformation. The transformation sequence and attacks are also different. At this level, Fine and Rein have completed their training and are working towards their main mission. This level is featured from Episode 38 to 51.
[edit]Items

[edit]Futago Hime
Décor Maker - This family heirloom of the Sunny Kingdom allows Fine and Rein to make pretty decorations/jewelry. The materials needed to make the accessories are plain leaves and acorns. When they are placed inside the Décor Maker, they become nice beads and pendants. The elegance and complexity of the accessories depend on the user's skill level.
Sunny Luche - These round devices allow Fine and Rein to transform into their Prominence forms. In the beginning, the twins spin the dials and call out short phrases using their names.
Sunny Charge - This device sits in Fine and Rein's bedroom. After they have used the Prominence, they use this device to recharge their Sunny Luches before using them again.
Sunny Rod - These magical wands allow Fine and Rein to use the Prominence.
Crystal Fortulatte (Princess Levels 4 and 5) - This is an important item that Princess Grace gives to Fine and Rein. In addition to being used for their Prominence Fortune Pretty Up and Prominence Eternal Miracle transformations, it also tells them the fortune of the day.
Poomo's Box - Poomo rests in this box most of the time. This is also the port for Telepoomotion.
Star Vial (Princess Levels 1, 2, and 3) - This crystal ball shows the amount of experience Fine and Rein have obtained. Once the vial fills, Fine and Rein level up to the next princess level. This item disappears when Princess Grace introduces the Crystal Fortulatte.
Bo Dragon Stone - This precious stone tells the conditions of Bo Dragon.
Eclipse's Whip - Eclipse uses this item to grab onto things, knock items out of people's hands, and keeps enemies away from certain objects.
Boomo's Box - This box serves the same purpose as Poomo's Box. Princess Grace once sealed the power of the Black Crystal and Boomo in here.
Black Luche - This device is used for the same purpose as the Sunny Luche, but is made with dark powers instead of the Prominence.
Feather Myuugram - This instrumental device forces people to dance. For more information, please refer to the Attacks Section.
Grace Stones - These stones contain a tremendous amount of power. In order to maximize their effectiveness, all 7 stones must be used together otherwise the stones will drain the user's energy.
[edit]Futago Hime Gyu!
Soleil Bell - This legendary bell rings when the prince/princess chosen to become the next Universal Prince/Princess touches it.
Happy Bellun (ハッピーベルン) - This new rod replaces the Sunny Rod. Fine and Rein can destroy messenger spirits with short burst attacks before settling in for a stronger attack.
