3Electra Heart is a UsefulNotes/NaNoWriMo 2015 novel[[note]]in "[[DevelopmentHell revision stages]]"[[/note]] by Tropers/{{Astriferous}}, based on the album of the same name by Music/MarinaDiamandis, reinvented into a [[RecycledINSPACE Space]] [[SpaceOpera Opera]], heavily inspired by the likes of Anime/CuteyHoney, Franchise/StarWars and WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine. It is, within the DarthWiki/CPCVerse, the series that takes place the farthest into the future(late 21st century).

5Electra Heart is a quirky girl who once gets her heart broken, but she swore to never let another girl to go through the same thing she did. So, she reinvented herself, and now she’s living her dream as a heroine who breaks other people's hearts. From that moment on, she was never alone.

7Meanwhile, in a distant planet, where a race of colorful, canine looking aliens, the ''sonaga'', live; Lady Blue, a calm and disciplined soldier, is told that one of her mates has disappeared. Reports say that she claims to call herself Armour Love, and that she’s a Guardian of Love. She is now on her way to bring her back to their planet, and possibly rescuing an old love who’s stranded someplace in the galaxy.
8
9Cut to Earth, where an [[StepfordSmiler unhappy]] [[{{Suburbia}} suburban]] [[{{Housewife}} housewife]], and a carefree biker [[ExtremeOmnisexual who gets it on with everyone]], are [[AlienAbduction abducted by extraterrestrial beings]].

11As development advanced, it has been expanded into other works, also based on Diamandis’ discography:
12* '''Hollow Heart''', AKA The Electra Heart Cut, is a prequel, that retells some of the first story, from Electra’s perspective, and gives a conclusion to the first book.
13* '''HEARTC♡RE''', is a brand new story, taking place in TheFifties, featuring the "original" Archetypes, and their love misadventures. Serves as Electra's OriginsArc, so it's the least closer to the science fiction genre.
14* '''[=WilDie=] Life''', is based on ''The Family Jewels''. Wallis is a girl left stranded in middle of the jungle, along with five other children. But suddenly, she has to choose between the forsaken road of fame and finesse, and the freedom of nature.
15* '''Planet FROOT''', which is based in, uh, ''FROOT'', takes us to an AmazingTechnicolorWorld. Ecithya is a girl looking for her older sister, who was separated from her in her childhood, who also searches for that "dolce vita" she’s been dreaming for all of her life.
