Overview
Each season focuses on a group of girls, mainly Chinese schoolgirls, who are granted magical powers and talents and transform into the legendary warriors known as the "Fairies of Balala" to fight against unknown evil forces. Their strength will be contested many times until they find out. They will also gain more new items, stuff and abilities to fight evil, as the enemies get stronger from time to time.
The Magic Fairy Castle is a magical world, led by the Queen of Magic Fairies, where only magic fairies can learn magic and know how to use what they have learned to help others. The black magic fairy Xiao Yue, who is not right-minded, steals the black magic and steals the magic fairy's colorful stone, and is never seen again. Little Blue, the magic fairy who protects the colorful stone, came to earth in order to make up for her mistakes and to track down the magic fairy colorful stone. Little Blue hid in the octave box, was brought home by Ling Meiqi, Ling Meixue sisters, and became the Ling family's little nanny. The three spent a happy and joyful life together, and formed a deep friendship between each other. With the permission of the Queen of Magic Fairies, Xiaolan teaches Maggie and Michelle magic and makes them become little magic fairies on earth. At the same time, Xiao Yue befriended a girl named Lily Yan and trained her to become a little black magic fairy. Thus, a battle between good and evil kicks off.[4]
