King Magnifico

From his public image to his subjects, Magnifico appears charismatic and inspiring to many others, presenting himself as an innovative mind worthy of the Kingdom of Rosas. Beneath his façade, Magnifico is shown to be egotistical, arrogant, vain, and narcissistic, seeing himself as superior to everyone around him. He only fulfills the wishes of people who he deems necessary, and those which seem absurd he keeps and does not fulfill, regardless of what he thinks of others, showing that Magnifico is a hypocrite. He may have started with good intentions to protect people from the cruel world he witnessed, claiming to keep their wishes safe and then occasionally granting some of them every year. But the years of prosperity and adoration from his citizens end up getting into his head, turning Magnifico into a self-centered control freak who desires control and thinks he deserves it. He starts out relatively harmless despite his narcissism and urge for control; when he is challenged by Asha, he is content simply to dash her hopes and leave it at that, and he is shown to love and appreciate his wife Amaya. However, once he begins fearing an uprising and resorts to using dark magic, his negative traits are amplified; he discards his love for Amaya and begins to despise Asha and her friends in an incredibly destructive manner. His feelings towards his people sour, and as he begins destroying wishes and manipulating the public, he ends up viewing his entire people as an ungrateful mob, going so far as to threaten and attempt to destroy them. As noted by Amaya, his good traits slowly fall away until he is entirely consumed by greed, envy, paranoia of losing his power, hatred, and disdain for everyone else around him. King Magnifico has a mastery over all types of sorcery, being able to conjure other magical effects with his powers seemingly infinitely. He can animate objects, move things with his mind, and despite looking middle-aged has been the king of Rosas for a great many years, implying his magic can stunt his aging process. It is unknown what the full extent of his powers is, but he has been shown to have several different types of magic at his disposal. He can also create potions using alchemy. By combining all his other magical powers, Magnifico could cause a person's wishes to detach from their bodies and become partially sapient orbs representing their wish that he could keep. Once he takes a wish, a person also forgets what the wish is. He can also move and seemingly alter the wish orbs, and can crush them to gain a boost of power. Once Magnifico reads from a book of Dark Magic, he becomes able to channel more sinister methods of sorcery, being able to command green lights which could set things on fire, bind people back, and create large claw-like hands. The Dark Magic represents itself as green and slowly takes over and corrupts all his other powers and personality. Dark Magic also seemed to have side effects on his body: interestingly, he begins with silvery-blue eyes, but whenever he uses Dark Magic, his eyes briefly glow green. As he continues to keep using it each time, his eyes glow green for a longer period of time, and his normal eye color begins to gain green flecks until his eyes are green. However, all his powers are negated greatly while he is trapped in the mirror, and to represent that Dark Magic controls him rather than controlling it, his eyes go back to being blue. Magnifico is incredibly handsome, muscularly fit, charming, and dominant.

King Magnifico: Asha, no one should ever have to see their dreams destroyed before their eyes. Asha: No one should have to live their life feeling the pain of that loss every day. King Magnifico: And that's why I do what I do. Asha: And that's why I want to work for you.

King Magnifico: Well, you're young. You don't know anything, really. Whereas it is my responsibility to only grant the wishes I am sure are good for Rosas. Asha: So, most of these wishes will never be granted? King Magnifico: Yet I still protect them like all the others.

King Magnifico: They give their wishes to me, willingly, and I make it so they forget their worries. Asha: You make it so they forge the most beautiful part of themselves. And they don't know what their're missing. But you do. And now I do. It's not fair. The people of Rosas are good. They deserve more than... King Magnifico: I decide what everyone deserves!

King Magnifico: A king must be prepared to do anything to protect his kingdom.

Amaya: referring to his people They would do anything for you. King Magnifico: Of course they would. Amaya: You are their handsomest, most beloved king. King Magnifico: You're right. I am a handsome king.

Not much is known about Magnifico's past except that he once lived in a peaceful land with his family. However, his parents were murdered and his homeland was completely destroyed by greedy thieves, which made him swear he would do anything to protect people from experiencing what he lived through. Thus, Magnifico started studying several types of sorcery in order to defend himself and other people. He then met an aspiring ballerina named Amaya, and used his magic to make her dream come true. Afterwards, they fell in love and eventually got married. Together, he and Amaya established and built the kingdom of Rosas on an island, welcoming anyone who traveled or visited the island as their own people, leading the population to look up to their rulers, especially Magnifico, whom everyone adored, much to his joy. Having mastered sorcery, Magnifico was able to grant the greatest desires of his subjects, who each give up the memory of their wishes to be sealed and protected by the king until he can grant them in a ceremonial event which he hosts once in a month. However, unbeknownst to them, he only ever grants wishes that would benefit him and his kingdom and keeps the rest locked up in his study room, never to be granted, especially those he would deem a threat to his rule. He also kept a book that contained forbidden magic in his study as a contingency in case something were to threaten him.
