An illustration contest, themed on battle heroines in mythologies and fairy tales, held by Pixiv and 2.5-Jigen TV internet television company from October to November 2012. 

Like many Pixiv contests, non-winning entries were often taken down by artists after the contest period ended, leaving Danbooru and similar archive sites as one of the only places preserving the works.
