	Mechanically it is the bastard child of Exalted 2E and nWoD. Nobles (catchall name for Princesses, Princes and all the Light users) have Practical Magic which is a somewhat less broken version of Exalted's Excellencies. Basically, every Court has their own idea of what's best for humanity and acting within that purview gives you extra dice based on your Invocation score. Nobles mainly use magic in the form of Charms (yeah) which like Exalted can be both hilariously broken or brokenly hilarious. A possible build has a Princess who has no other overt magical powers besides her carrying a bolt pistol, a chainsword and wearing power armor. Made of Love.

	The nerds at RPGnet decided to make a [[World of Darkness]] splatbook for the magical-girl genre after a joke spiraled out of control with popularity to the point that it became legitimate. It's worth noting, if you are interested in checking this out, that there are two versions of the game: the Dreams version and the Vocations version. The latter is generally more combat focused and there are some lore differences between the two, but otherwise both are good to go. Princess the Hopeful is set in WoD so it's gonna be more Puella Magi Madoka Magica or Sailor Nothing than Kiki's Delivery Service. Shit's gonna get dark, of course.

The latter is generally more combat focused and there are some lore differences between the two, but otherwise both are good to go. Two more versions were later added: the Crystal Version and the Royalty Version. These two versions, both still under development, are far more divergent from the other two, with Royalty in particular being the only version made for the original World of Darkness rather than Chronicles, with plans in place to convert to Chronicles once development finishes. Princess the Hopeful is set in WoD so it's gonna be more Puella Magi Madoka Magica or Sailor Nothing than Kiki's Delivery Service. Shit's gonna get dark, of course. The backstory is this:

	A long time ago, there was a magical Kingdom. This Kingdom was ruled by the Queens. It was almost an Utopia, and was the first line of defense against the Darkness. The fight was ''easy''. So easy, in fact, that the Kingdom grew arrogant, and let the Darkness in. The result? The kingdom was destroyed, and five of the Queens were killed, and their souls imprisoned in the Dreamlands. Three escaped- the Queen of Tears used unholy magic to move the city of Alhambra into the middle of the Darkness and keep it safe there (though it survives only by stealing Light from the real world), the Queen of Storms shed her body to become a never-ending storm, and the Queen of Mirrors... well, nobody knows much about her. The Darkness had, essentially, won...		A long time ago, there was a magical Kingdom. This Kingdom was ruled by the Queens.

	The precursor to the Storms. They're ~~are~~ not all laborers, but they all do believe in the virtue of hard work. Wand’s Philosophies teaches that selflessness and hard work are virtues as well as an ideal of loyalty to comrades. Wand’s signature emotion is Humility. They rely on the Invocation of Metallo whose element is, you guessed it, Metal. Emiya Shirou of Fate/Stay Night fame is an inspiration for the Court.		The precursor to the Storms.

	The opposite of Tears. Their philosophy is simple: [[Angry Marines\|DESTROY THE DARKNESS AND THE COURT OF TEARS UNTIL NOT EVEN ASHES REMAIN!!]] To them the collateral damage doesn't matter, and they particularly hate the Queen of Tears for betraying the Queen of Storms to the Darkness for her own benefit.		The opposite of Tears. Their philosophy is simple: [[Angry Marines\|DESTROY THE DARKNESS AND THE COURT OF TEARS UNTIL NOT EVEN ASHES REMAIN!!]] To them the collateral damage doesn't matter, and they particularly hate the Queen of Tears for betraying the Queen of Storms to the Darkness for her own benefit.

	The advantage Storms offers is battle magic that's powerful (especially against the Darkness and the Tears), ~~but rather indiscriminately, however~~, while the Charms are powerful they often have the drawback of doing damage to the caster and innocents as ~~it demolishes~~ the Darkness. Storms also have some other advantages not related to their Invocation and magic. Their Queen (who's essentially a living tornado of hate and rage destroying everything near it) can make [[Hunter: The Vigil\|Stormwracked cells]], giving the Storms Nobles some fire support and extra bodies the Radiant don't usually get. They can also make "~~Goalenu~~", big almost golem-like guys made out of clay and flesh, powered by the storm, who can hit like a truck, and often lead the Stormwracked cells or accompany Princesses of Storms. Needless to say, Storms are not to be lightly messed with when they come out in force. Storms' signature emotions are Rage and Hatred. Their colors are bright acid green and shades of steel. ''Eg:'' Tsubasa Kazanari from Symphogear (early episodes), Kurumi Tokisaki from Date A Live. The Invocation here is Tempesta whose element is Acid.		The advantage Storms offers is battle magic that's powerful (especially against the Darkness and the Tears), if indiscriminate. However, while the Charms are powerful they often have the drawback of doing damage to the caster and innocents around them as they demolishe the Darkness. Storms also have some other advantages not related to their Invocation and magic. Their Queen (who's essentially become a living tornado of hate and rage destroying everything near it) can make [[Hunter: The Vigil\|Stormwracked cells]], giving the Storms Nobles some fire support and extra bodies the Radiant don't usually get.

	Also, unlike the other power sources, Tempesta ''destroys'' the Darkness and everything it touches outright, rather than purifying it. And all those who die while (or from) using it merge into the Queen upon death, strengthening her, making her ever more powerful, ever more able to rage and obliterate the Darkness. And if, in the process, the Darkness overtakes all creation, and thus Tempesta destroys the universe in the process of ripping it to pieces? That'll be fine. For Storms, revenge on their hated enemy is more important than saving or protecting anything.
