magical girl

A magical girl (魔法少女, mahou shoujo) is a young girl with magical abilities, typically being chosen to fight evil and to protect the Earth by a "mascot" familiar. They often possess a secret identity they transform into through a henshin sequence, although the name can just refer to young girls who follow a plotline involving magic and a transformation.

On Danbooru this tag is used for characters dressed in a magical girl outfit.
