Editing My Little Mahou Shoujo:Modesty Flit (section)

==Background==

Modesty is a girl who does not stand out, she is quiet, and is certain she is an average girl with nothing that makes her stand out. She easily fades into the background and is better around animals, feeling she understands them better. However there is a side to the young girl that few people know.

Modesty's parents are both famous doctors, and they expect Modesty to follow in the family tradition. Modesty however wants to be a Vet and work with animals. To this end she volunteers at the local animal shelter, but also at the hospital cause her parents want her to. Which keeps her busy, often too busy to stand up for herself, simply doing what makes other people happy.

She is the sort of girl who would quietly sew a button back on someone’s blouse without saying anything, who does not speak up in home-economics when people are asking who made the delicious cake, and comes in to school with her hand bandaged, not correcting people’s opinion she is clumsy or telling them that the truth she was hurt saving a cat from a tree.

Ultimately Modesty wants to to help people, and often feels her own happiness is not as important. Letting someone else take credit for something she has done, or not correcting people’s opinions about her in such away that might make them feel bad is the kind of thing she might do. If Modesty won’t stand up for herself, she needs friends who will remind her that being kind does not mean letting people take advantage of her.
