---Pardon the crappy story grammar/structure... will edit it... maybe not... too tired now---

NOTE: Story 2 seems to be more suitable for an "official" entry, because Story 1, she stays with a trainer, where in Story 2, she wanders around... but read story 1 as well, as the only difference between the 2 are the endings.



STORY 1:
-----
Mismagius are usually mischievous by nature, even when owned by a trainer. One Mismagius was owned by a famous opera singer. The Mismagius is also part of the opera as a mood setter with her chants. The Mismagius loves her job with her trainer, but loves playing pranks as well... though she knows when to stop to when her trainer gets mad.

One day, just about as one of their events would start in an old opera house, the Mismagius decided to play another prank on her trainer, by spooking her as she exits her dressing room. As the trainer exits, the Mismagius surprised her, and the trainer dropped whatever she was holding... papers, and a lit candle that was supposedly for the show... the fire from the candle slowly spread, and covered the door.

The Mismagius in a panic tried to cover her trainer with a shield and attempted to levitate her to safety, but the Mismagius was too panicky to concentrate. The trainer yelled for help for other people to extinguish the flame, but there were only less than 10 people within that event, and they were all on stage. The Mismagius tried to psychically extinguish the flames, but again, without concentration, she can't do it well enough... if doing anything, she's making it worse with little flickers, spreading small embers around. Eventually, the Mismagius went to the other actors to ask for help, interrupting the act. The actors then went to her aid, but as they are running towards her room, the flames already reached the hallway. The other actors called out their water Pokémon and extinguished the flames.

The Mismagius and the actors then rushed to the Mismagius's trainer, but she was found unconscious. A beam fell on her, knocking her out. She also suffered extreme burns and some cuts from the debris. She was immediately rushed to the hospital, with her Mismagius following behind.

The Mismagius was feeling full of regret for what she did.
-"This wouldn't have happened if I haven't played that prank..."
-"Why did I have to do that???"
-"Why..."
-"Why..."
The trainer survived... but ended up in a coma. Upon hearing this, the Mismagius, supposedly being taken care of the trainer's family... left. The Mismagius left, feeling guilt and shame for what she did. She felt so fragile... so weak that she couldn't do anything to save her... so disappointed with herself and her antics...

Time passed, the trainer fortunately recovered, only to hear the sad news that her Mismagius left. For a few weeks after recovery, the trainer stayed at her home to rest and contemplate... and wait... waiting for her Mismagius to come back home. She was never mad at the Mismagius, she didn't blame her either.

One night, the Mismagius decided to go back to the hospital, wanting to see if her trainer is okay. Realizing she isn't, she rushed to her home... and there she was; her trainer on her bed, looking at a picture of them together. The trainer said quietly on how she misses the Mismagius. Upon hearing this, the Mismagius phased through the window, "hugged" the trainer and cried. The trainer was kinda freaked out, because a strange creature hugged her. Then that creature pointed at the picture with her hair which acted like a whip/arm, then pointed at herself. The trainer then realized that creature is actually her Mismagius from before... evolved into a new Pokémon... the trainer hugged her as well, and whispered "it's okay..."


---STORY 2---
instead of coming back to the hospital, the Mismagius doesn't come back... as the Mismagius leaves the hospital, she evolves in her contemplation, realizing how immature she was, and hopeing she grows into a much more mature and powerful Pokémon. She wanders around the Pokémon world, helping any trainers/pokémon in danger, hoping that her trainer would see these acts and forgive her.




---Why it became/evolved into a legendary?---
-Evolved due to its realization from a traumatic experience. She wanted to become more mature and shun away the extreme playfulness of a Misdreavus/Mismagius.



---Design---
-Hat turned into mask-
--- Mask supposedly represents an opera mask, in order to remind the Mismagius on what she has done in the past. She can rematerialize/dematerialize the masks whenever she wants. The mask if worn, she can see the near future of any danger the person/pokemon she has focused on (the big gems that acts as eyes)
--- the mask also amplifies her attacks; as her attacks connect, the vibrations done by that attack bounce back to her, somehow healing her

-Hair-
--- Based on Misdreavus design
--- "arms" have developed, but technically she can manipulate her hair any way she wishes
--- this is so due to her longing to "grab" things; and a longing to grab her trainer to try and save her, since she can't before as a Misdreavus and Mismagius



Name: Banshriek
--- pun of Banshee + Shriek
--- removed the "Mis------" prefix because it was usually associated with mischief... and Banshriek did not want that...
