Apprentices

The Apprentices are five young girls, chosen from 3B Junior, to be groomed for command, and to act as squires and apprentices to the members of Momoiro Clover Z. Each a powerful being in their own right, they were chosen through a rigorous selection process. The members of 3B Junior had their cosmic connections examined, their powers assessed, and their willpowers put to the test, until only five girls remained. These girls had their fates changed forever on that day. While many members of 3B Junior go on to have somewhat successful careers, to squire for Momoiro Clover Z is an honour few would even dream of. These girls would gain access to powers unimagined, and by some considered to be unnatural, and be at the very core of the idol world.

Whether by fate or by design, the five girls' personalities mirror that of their master. The effect of this is that in nearly all cases master and apprentice get along very well. Reni and her apprentice always get up to various forms of mischief, Shiori and her apprentice will empty the grandest of buffets, and so on. The exception to this is Aarin and her apprentice. As Aarin is constantly vying for power, this means that so is her apprentice. She will take any chance she gets to backstab her master, as evidenced by her attempt on Aarin's life during Tohjinsai 2015. However, thus far Aarin has been able to subvert her every attempt, and does not appear to be scared of her protegé. It is possible that Aarin believes that the only way one could ever gain power is to take it, and is attempting to teach her apprentice just that. Whether Aarin is actually as invincible as she believes herself to be is another matter entirely.
