...In another world, in another place.  A world much like ours, but when change came to this world, it was the Mind-Wells, pits of great power that usually destroyed those who dared step inside them.  But those who lived?  The full power of their minds were unlocked, and they became, through this unleashed power, the being they dreamed of becoming.  The government moved fast to try and restrict access to the Wells and control them, but still, many found ways in, ways to make the ultimate gamble.  Everything they wished-- or death.

Once upon a time, there was a teenager.  Her suffering had been great at home, enduring many kinds of abuse. She dreamed of being a fairy princess, cared for, loved, beautiful, wearing elegant dresses, but cold reality shattered this dream again and again throughout her life. She ran away from home, but life was still terrible.  Although her family was not harming her, others wanted to, and she was always hungry, always cold, never safe.

And then she saw a chance, somehow, impossibly, to run into a Well.  It didn't matter what it did to her-- she didn't care if it turned her into a dog, or killed her, anything. She ran past guards, finding an opening that shouldn't have existed, and...

The guards only saw a skinny figure in a battered hoodie and jeans running, and then vanishing in a flash of light.  What emerged, though, was an entirely different figure, a princess in a long pink dress, with flowing hair and a golden crown.  At her side were beautiful ethereal women who looked after her, protected her, and an ethereal winged unicorn, saddled only for her.

Ozma had arrived, and her old life, her old identity, was dead.  They could search for that old runaway all they wanted-- she was free now!  She had everything she'd dreamed of, and tears streamed down her face as she realized this.  But... others still suffered.  Perhaps her desire had been selfish; that must be rectified.  Princess Ozma would try and help those in need, use her army to help the world... and now she's come to a new world.  What can she do but help here, as well?

Ozma is a slender, regal young woman who generally wears flowing, beautiful dresses and a crown, as well as some other jewelry; the specifics change from day to day.  She is constantly surrounded by a small (and not always so small!) army of ethereal servants, all female, who attend her, whisper things in her ear to inform her, bring things to her, and so on; she also has an ethereal winged unicorn that comes at her call.

In public, Ozma effects a majestic speaking style as if she were a fairy princess; she feels that it should be part of her new identity.  In private, however, she relaxes and uses normal 21st-century American speech.
