German version
The 15-year-old daughter of a French flower seller, Angel (originally LunLun ), is visited by the talking cat Kathy ( Cateau ) and the talking dog Bernie ( Nouveau ). These were sent by the queen of the flower star on which the flower spirits live. The king of the flower star will soon die and for the coronation of the successor the seven-colored flower is required, which only blooms once on earth. Because Angel is a descendant of the flower spirits who once populated the earth together with humans, Angel was chosen to find the seven-colored flower together with Kathy and Bernie. Angel uses her “flower key” to transform herself into a magical girl when necessary. On their search across Europe, they are pursued by the evil Cora and her thief Boris ( Yaboki ), who also want to take the flower so that Cora can become queen of the flower star .
