Plot

edit

The series follows Pia Rockwell, a minor villainess in the otome game Caroline and the Rainbow Magic Sweets. She is the reincarnation of a Japanese doctorate student, regaining her memories after a childhood illness. With her newfound knowledge, she decides to move away from her game's fate as a villainess, instead following her past life studying paleontology, with the aim of becoming a paleontologist. Her dream is complicated by her engagement to Rufus, the Prime Minister's son. She wants to break off the engagement, not only so she can fulfill her dream of becoming a paleontologist, but also to avoid banishment.

Characters

edit
Pia Rockwell (ピア・ロックウェル, Pia Rokkuueru)
Voiced by: Miku Itō (voice drama, anime)[2][1]
A 17-year-old woman and Rufus's fiancee. In her previous life, she was a doctorate student studying paleontology, who was killed during a robbery. In the original game, Pia only had a minor role, being a nameless silhouette who was Rufus's original fiancee and was banished after an outburst. Knowing this fate, Pia aims to change her past, instead wanting to become a paleontologist. She has a timid personality. Her name was Pia Parmesan (ピア・パルメザン, Pia Parumezan) in the web novel.
Rufus Stan (ルーファス・スタン, Rūfasu Sutan)
Voiced by: Ryōta Ōsaka (voice drama, anime)[2][1]
Pia's fiancé. In the original game, he was engaged to her, but broke off the engagement after she threw away some magical cookies, leading to her banishment. He then falls in love with Caroline, the game's heroine. When they were ten years old, Pia wanted to break off her engagement to Rufus, knowing of her fate; instead, Rufus make a bet about their engagement, promising to give her her a lot of money and territory in seven years if he ever fell in love with Caroline.
In truth, Rufus fell in love with Pia due to misunderstanding her fears as losing him, not his status nor wealth. Pia's lack of interest in noble life and hyper fixation on fossils made her endearing.
