The Candidates

The Candidates or much known to be the Platinum Princess Candidates is a group of seven (originally eight) girls from different worlds to compete for the legendary Crystal Tiara once every one thousand years,

Candidacy
The Candidates come from different worlds, princesses of their own worlds, and all of them age sixteen once they are to be candidates. The Princesses of seven different worlds—the Human World, Underworld, Heavens, Waters, Spirit World, Winterland, and Fairy World (formerly eight including the Magic World) shall reach the age of sixteen years old, all in one span of the current year. Upon reaching the desirable age, they are tested to see the 'calling light' of the Crystal Tiara itself to prove themselves that they are considered to be a candidate by the Tiara. They are given identification pendants as a proof of their candidacy.

Renouncing
A Candidate has the chance to resign as one, but it was only at the time of the Final Scene. Resignation as a Candidate means no turning back from the choice.

Training
After receiving their pendants, the Candidates are required to enter the prestigious Princess Academy to be trained along with other Princess from different countries. In the academy, they are trained with magic, visual and performing arts, literature, history, arithmetic, and philosophy. They co-exist with the others when it comes to those subjects, as well as with the students taking part-time jobs to help some civilians in need. The only difference they have with the others is that, they are sometimes excuse from their classes to take the task of searching for the Crystal Flowers that exist in every Candidate's home world.

Fate
Once the Crystal Tiara acknowledge one candidate to be the Platinum Princess, the other candidates will vanished. If the one chosen by the Tiara disregards the choice of the choosing, the world of the chosen Candidate will be destroyed.
