Why does Veronica stay small?
No seriously, why? It's great that she gets her MAGIC back, but she explicitly states that it sucked up her age too. If it's to keep that 'you're not an adult' gag going, that's a really poor excuse even for a running gag...

She points out that her age was a side effect of her breaking out of them draining her. And while she got her magic back (and likely the magic of everyone else who got drained) it didn't undo her de-aging. She'll likely have to find some magical way of re-aging herself, if she chooses to. She did mention that there's positives to being able to be young again.

Because Japan needs an excuse to make it ok to sexualize a little girl.

But Veronica doesn't get any of the sexy outfits. I mean, look at Serena and Jade, they get the dancer and bunny girl outfits.
Veronica gets a cat suit. Plus the twins get their colour swapped polkadot dresses. Nothing fancy there.

I know, it was still such a tease considering you get the Bunny Ears before everything else. :steamsalty:

Would be nice if costumes were a separate equippable item. Because a lot of them just get outclassed so quickly.

I couldn't agree more.

Because that's her character quirk. What's the point of giving a character that if you take it away 30 minutes later?
They could have easily just made her shorter...
By a few inches. the joke would have remained the same, and they'd also have a 'are they seriously twins? they're nothing alike' gag going to. Hell, they could have given Serena a bigger bust and the 'are they the same age' joke would STILL work. (cause puberty)

You can make characters stand out without such physical differences, result of a spell or not.
In a story I'm working on all the faerie folk speak shaksperian dialect (I'm talking moby di.ck era)
Their Princess? She speaks modern Scottish/Irish, with a healthy bit of slang, she's too busy being a warrior princess to give two Shi.ts about formal language and being 'lady like'

Yet she looks pretty much like every other faerie girl (obvious differences since the individual characters are based on actual faerie/spirits) and typically acts like em too. She's actually made more friends speaking like a commoner than a royal.

Obviously because Japanese or asians in general are shorter human beings than many other races. Obviously.

Because it's way funnier to have a small angry child roasting everything literally and figuratively.
