If I became a Magical Girl...

I will not keep a Cute Animal Sidekick for it's own sake. Retaining useful ones will be considered on a case-by-case basis, but if it can't outperform a mortal attack dog it goes straight to the animal shelter.

My Frilly Brightly Colored Outfit will be lined with Kevlar at the least if at all possible.

If I out power my True Love by several orders of magnitude, I will not let myself be rescued by him merely in order to appease my romantic tastes or his masculine pride.

I will make sure my True Love regularly visits his doctor and keeps current with his shots. Face it, with all the times he is mind controlled and/or ravished away by the Evil Queen he's probably caught whatever she's picked up from all the Demonic Minions she cavorts with more than once.

I will endeavor to learn how to tap into my Innate Powers (at least to some degree) without initiating my Transformation Sequence.

I will make every attempt to shorten my Transformation Sequence if it occurs in anything resembling real-time. If that fails I'll consider staying powered up 24/7 and changing clothes conventionally.

I will lose any shyness about my body, as I _will_ lose my clothing completely whenever I transform.

I will inform my family and close friends about my secret identity. It's a security risk, but hiding it from them is an unneeded additional pressure, my enemies usually figure it out anyway, and at least they'll understand why _they_ are the ones getting possessed/drained/taken hostage/terrorized/etc.

I will prepare contingency plans ahead of time concerning what to do if/when my Secret Identity is blown wide open. Face it, you cannot assume that _everyone_ will be fooled by a Frilly Brightly Colored Outfit forever.

No matter how much stronger/faster/more nimble than an Ordinary Girl my transformation makes me, I _will_ acquire combat skills above the level of Schoolyard Scrapper.

No matter _how_ unimaginably cute they are, I will not fall in love with the Dark General (however if he falls for me I will exploit the situation to the best of my ability).

I will not presume everyone with Other Worldly Abilities is a minion of an Evil Queen or Dark General unless confronted with evidence of obvious malevolence. It saves time and energy better spent on recognized Threats to Humanity.

I will not shrink from killing Humans in battle if they are not controlled by outside forces, I mean if I can slaughter Demons, Youma, Aliens and other such sapients by the score I should have no problem whacking a mortal Homicidal Maniac.

I will, if remotely possible, acquire a firearm and proficiency in using same. Why burn out your own life force and devastate a civilization to slay the Evil Queen if a 9mm HollowPoint between the eyes works just as well?

I will study multiple works on military science and personal/small-unit tactics before going forth upon my Mission for Good; specifically the sections on surprise attacks, multi-pronged attack, and so forth.

Not to be redundant; but I will dispense with the Goofy Speeches entirely, or at least save them until _after_ the monster is at my mercy.

I will investigate the possibility of changing or altering my costume while retaining my powers. If this is feasible I will definitely acquire/create mission specific outfits (no miniskirts and heels in the High Arctic please) and possibly ditch the Frilly Brightly-Colored Getup entirely.

I WILL  go the Sailor V route, have my likeness copyrighted and trademarked, and license it out for merchandise, comics, videogames, and anything else that will make me a ton of money. Which I will then plow back into making I and any followers I may have a more effective fighting force.

If my Cute Animal Sidekick knows more about my powers than I do, I _WILL_ demand that it tell me everything up front, rather than waiting until I or others are in mortal danger to inform me that I have an ability that would have allowed me to neutralize the danger within a few seconds.

When I head off for a Climactic Battle with the Evil Queen or Dark General, I will demand that my Cute Animal Sidekick cough up _ALL_ the super-duper power-ups and tell me about _ALL_ potential allies, and not wait until after the battle and the start of the next season to do so.

I WILL use my brains in dealing with enemies, and realize that if a Bad Guy and a Minion are standing side by side, the Bad Guy is the one to take out, and I can fight the Minion after the BG is down and dead. Unless I have an area-wide attack, in which case it's open season on both of them. :)

I will find a better way of killing all my enemies than throwing my headgear at them.

I will try to keep the Sidekick who can shoot fire and/or laser beams around me at all times. The one who can shoot bubbles is less important.

No matter how embarrassing they may look, I -will- keep any and all Magic Trinkets I can get my hands on. They've got to come in handy sooner or later. I will keep particularly useful ones, including my Transformation Trinket, on my person at all times. The Evil Threat is not about to wait for me to run home and grab a widget.

When I have defeated the Dark General and he begins to speak, I will not hesitate to blast him if I sense a trap. He had plenty of chances to try diplomacy -before- trying to conquer/enslave/destroy the world/universe/life as we know it.

I will move out of the fascist town where everyone is forced to dress in sailor outfits.

I will not shout out the name of my attacks before I launch them, since this removes the element of surprise. If my attacks are voice-activated, I will whisper the attack names.
