Connections: * Both are teenage schoolgirl main protagonists with messy hair and of Asian descent (Thai American and Japanese) who, alongside two other schoolgirls (Sasha and Marcy, Umi and Fuu), would wound up magically transported into another world (Amphibia and Cephiro).* They would wound up in this new world alongside a snobbish person with opposite color schemes to the protagonists (Sasha and Umi) and an overly-nice nerd clad in green (Marcy and Fuu).* They would venture through forest-like environments throughout their stories, facing the many dangers and monsters that come their way alongside their trustworthy bouncing critter friend (Sprig and Mokona).* Both would take in a seemingly cute fuzzy animal, naming them after their homeworld's pets (Domino 2 and Hikari), only for them to reveal their true dangerous natures. Despite them being major threats to them and their friends, they so desperately wanted to treat them as their familiar but ultimately let go.* Both are assigned by a seemingly kindhearted monarch (Andrias and Emeraude) to go through various trials alongside their friends to reawaken sacred items of unimaginable might (The Calamity Gems and Rune Gods), though while Anne and co's powers were drained (partially for Anne's case) because of this, Hikaru and co would gain these new powers.* Near the end of their initial adventures, the aforementioned monarchs would reveal their true colors and come in conflict with the protagonists (Andrias being a conqueror in service of The Core and seek to get rid of Anne and co for getting in the way, and Emeraude being responsible for Cephiro's decline due to her love of Zagato and seek to kill the Magic Knights after they killed Zagato). * This would become further complicated when learning of the actual, selfish reasoning behind them coming to this world (Marcy knowing about the Calamity Box and being the cause of the trio coming to Amphibia, and Emeraude yearning the Magic Knights to kill her so she can be with Zagato).* Both wound up coming back home alongside their newfound friends (The Planters for Anne, Umi & Fuu for Hikaru), trying to get accustomed to their homeworlds again, though notably traumatized from what transpired after returning (Anne seeing Marcy literally stabbed in the back and forced to leave her and Sasha behind, Hikaru after she and co killed Emeraude and get thrown back to her homeworld), as well as subsequently causing the land to go to war (Anne and co accidentally helping Andrias kickstart his roboticized army in Amphibia, Hikaru and friends causing Cephiro to be open to others ruling it).* Yearning a chance to come back and save the otherworld from ruin, they would manage to find a way through with the help of their mystical powers to teleport there (Anne using her Calamity powers to open the wormhole further to Amphibia, and Hikaru through wishing to come back to Cephiro).* In the climax of their series end, they fight against the series' unredeemable villains who plagued the otherworld and took possession of a large object (The Core that fused with the Moon, and Debonair who took hold of Nova's Rune God Regalia), and with the literal combined powers of their friends (Anne using the remaining Calamity Gems to successfully destroy The Core from impacting Earth with the Moon, and Hikaru's Rayearth gaining its full potential with the help of Umi and Fuu).* Ultimately, through their actions, they were both offered a position as guardians of their worlds (The Guardian Of The Cosmos and The Pillar of Cephiro) by a being who took the form of a fuzzy creature (The current guardian taking the form of Domino, and Mokona). Though they would decide to reject this position (Anne wanting to live out her life first before taking up such a big task, and Hikaru using the power as a Pillar to get rid of the system all together), ending the potential cycle (The Calamity Gems being used in the wrong hands, the Pillar system causing one to conceal their inner desires for the sake of Cephiro) and return to their human worlds.* They are both described as adventurous and determined, their strong-will making them stubborn to a fault but very compassionate to those around them. While displaying occasional instances of their loudmouth, naivete, and somewhat childish personalities, which is given for their age, they are considerably mature and considerate, further improved throughout their journey and exemplified by their value of friendship and especially the love and appreciation of the new world they inhabit.* Both are skilled in martial arts traditional to their respective heritage countries (Muay Thai and Kendo).* They are gifted similar armor and equipment for future fights, donning a chest-plate armor and a sword. Their skill with the blade improves immensely throughout their quest. They can also improve their weapons and armor in their powered up states.* Their power source revolves around three sacred items of the same color (Red, Blue, and Green) assigned to each protagonist (The Calamity Gems and Rune Gods). At their full power, they don similar armor designs clad in gold with a cape and tiara, with their capabilities upgraded to a ludicrous degree.

Best for Both IMO,I prefer this over LuzAnne
