When Zelda wakes up, after losing a duel in magic, she finds herself in a body that isn't hers. She doesn't have blond hair anymore, they are black with some purple locks; she is wearing new-gothic clothes, not her usual faded jeans. Sheila, who had been her best friend, decided to swap their lives with a spell. While she's immobilized, waiting to die, Zelda remembers the day when her powers appeared: the day of her sixteenth birthday.
