Molly Collier
“She no longer felt quite so much like a sunflower always seeking the sun’s warmth, but rather like the moon—a perfect companion made to shine brighter in its presence.”
Molly Collier, The Paragon

“I'll tell you a secret about storytelling. Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty... were not perfect in the beginning. It's only a happy ending on the last page, right? If the princess had everything from the beginning, there wouldn't be a story. Anyone who is imperfect or incomplete can become the main character in the story.”
PEACH-PIT, Shugo Chara!, Vol. 2: Friends in Need
