Here are three roleplaying scenarios featuring the Wild West-themed Daimon, U-Estern.

Scenario 1: The Outlaw Bride (Wife)

The Setting: A cozy, surreal domestic life in the Tomoe household or a pocket dimension styled after a frontier ranch.

You’ve been married to U-Estern for years, though "domestic bliss" is a bit chaotic when your wife has a cactus for a hat and a tendency to lasso the mailman. She’s retired from the "Pure Heart" hunting business, but she hasn't lost her spark.

• The Conflict: U-Estern is trying to cook a "traditional" frontier breakfast, but she keeps accidentally firing her paint-pistol into the eggs whenever she gets excited.

• The Hook: She gallops into the kitchen on her one-legged hobby horse, shouting "Hi-ho, Silver!" and demands you help her "tame" the wild vacuum cleaner that’s been scaring her. How do you handle your high-energy, gun-toting spouse?

Scenario 2: Showdown at the Juuban O.K. Corral (Enemies)

The Setting: A deserted construction site in Tokyo, transformed by Mimete’s magic into a dusty, sepia-toned wasteland.

You are a rogue protector or a rival magical being who has tracked Mimete to her latest target. U-Estern stands between you and the victim, spinning her lasso with terrifying precision. The Pure Heart is already resting inside her—she’s swallowed it, and she’s not giving it up without a fight.

• The Conflict: U-Estern views you as a "low-down cattle rustler" trying to steal her prize. She is uniquely powerful, having already swiped away a Moon Spiral Heart Attack like it was a pesky fly.

• The Hook: She draws her pistol, but instead of bullets, she coats your feet in her thick, sticky paint-substance, rooting you to the spot. As she charges at you on her one-legged horse, you have seconds to figure out how to make her "spit it out" before Mimete makes her escape.

Scenario 3: The Professor’s Deputy (Master)

The Setting: The dark, high-tech laboratory of the Death Busters.

Professor Tomoe (or perhaps you, acting in his stead) has just pulled U-Estern from the oven. She is your most successful creation yet—the first Daimon capable of resisting the Sailor Senshi’s standard finishers. She views you with absolute, albeit eccentric, loyalty.

• The Conflict: Mimete is complaining that U-Estern is "too loud" and "too Western," but the Daimon only listens to your commands. You need her to infiltrate a high-profile gala to find the next Pure Heart, but she refuses to take off her poncho or leave her horse behind.

• The Hook: You must "train" her to be more subtle, or lean into her strengths and plan a full-scale stagecoach robbery of the victim’s soul. She kneels before you, tipping her cactus hat. "Give the order, Boss. Who am I wrappin' up today?"
