- Adaptational Backstory Change: In the manga, she never knew her parents and was raised by lions until Dr. Yasogami found her. In the anime, they know she's in Africa and agree to Dr. Goken raising her. She also wasn't a magical girl.
- All-Loving Hero: She's fascinated by Japanese culture and seeks to protect her new friends from the forces of evil, as well as growing up with wold animals which she considers her second family.
- Anime Hair: Persia's blue hair sticks up, is spiky, and looks like a scruffy rag compared to the rest of the characters.
- By the Power of Grayskull!: "Perukko Raburin Kurukuru Rinkuru!"
- Culture Equals Costume: Whatever "culture" of Africa Persia grew up in involves her dressing like a caveman.
- Dub Name Change:
- In the French dub, Persia's name was changed to Vanessa.
- In the Italian dub, Persia's name was changed to Evelyn.
- First Girl Wins: Sorry, Yoyoko, but by the end of the anime, Persia realizes that between Riki and Gaku, she likes Gaku, and they become a couple. Sucks to be you!
- Genki Girl: One of the reasons she clashes with Japanese society is because in Africa, she was brought up to be as loud and wild as she pleased, and is a raw mass of energy.
- Hair Color Dissonance: Some versions of the Italian edition
darken her magical girl version's hair into purple. - Long Hair Is Feminine: Her Older Alter Ego fairy form has long, hot-pink hair.
- Magical Girl: She becomes a Magical Girl with long pink hair and energy beam attacks by using her Magic Wand and Transformation Trinket.
- Non-Human Sidekick: From the fairy world, there are the three kappa (who resemble frogs). In the human world, there's Persia's pet lion, Simba, who she brought from Africa and turned into a Talking Animal with her own magic.
- Non-Indicative Name: Despite her name, she has no connection to the ancient kingdom of Persia (or it's modern equivalents of Iran and Afghanistan), and she's ethnically Japanese.
- Older Alter Ego: Persia is an 11 year old girl, but her alter ego is much taller and mature-looking, and is presumably a 16 year old.
- Otherworldly Technicolour Hair: Persia's "fairy" form has hot-pink long hair. An odd case of this trope because when she was human, her hair was blue.

- Power Dyes Your Hair: Thanks to her magical headband, she becomes a fairy with pink hair that also becomes longer and straighter.
- Precocious Crush: 11-year-old Persia has a crush on both of the Muroi twins, who are 14. In the manga, all three of them were high schoolers, averting this.
- Raised by Wolves: Persia grew up in the Serengeti plains of Africa alongside many of the wild animals, and as a result she's more inclined to beasts than humans.
- Spirited Young Lady: Because she was reared in the wild plains of Africa, Persia has a confident do-anything attitude and doesn't care about societal norms, making her an outlier amongst her classmates.
- Transformation Trinket: Persia's baton, which doubles as a Magic Wand and is the first step of transforming her into her Older Alter Ego.
- Twin Threesome Fantasy: The G-rated version — Persia has a dream about marrying both of the Muroi twins.
- Wild Child: She lived like an animal while in Africa, with her tendency to play in the grass and lack of clothing. She's surprised when she moves to Japan and finds out this isn't socially acceptable.
- Verbal Tic: Persia tends to add "-desuno", "-ya-no" or "-no" to the end of her sentences.
