Magical Guardian: Difference between revisions

This is a magical being who's in charge of a group of children, whether as a [[Magical Nanny|nanny]], [[Cool Teacher|teacher]], or some other form of custodian. Has some overlap with the [[Magical Nanny]], but while a [[Magical Nanny]] is focused on improving family dynamics and behavior and may or may not be really magic, a [['''Magical Guardian]]''' is really magic and may or may not do anything about behavior and family. They may instead use their powers for the more broad purpose of education, or even just for the pure sake of adventure. Having this character around allows children to get up to all kinds of impossible and wacky hijinks without audiences wondering [[Parental Abandonment|where the parents are]].
