What is the magical girl genre and it's target audience?
And I don't mean just magical girl anime I have very fond memories of the Avalon Web of Magic books although when I was in school the covers weren't even this cool

I will have a vision of the beginning, end, and select parts in the middle but I do a combination of being a gardener and a plotter
I don't sit down and instantly know everything about every character including the protagonist
They will reveal themselves to me in snippets and sometimes I will suddenly and randomly know something about them while I'm writing or even just doing my day to day
For example I have a character who has a fear of broken bones and seeing bones at all and then I found out while writing his back story that he had a bone broken in a cruel way as a kid
I wasn't even thinking about his phobia when I wrote it
It just happened and then it clicked "oh that's why he hates bones"
