Mc413n — Hanayo and Yuzuki recite the oath together, in That Promise is Fake

An Eternal Girl (無限少女 Mugen shōjo) is a Selector who becomes their ideal self, the person capable of fulfilling their wish. Becoming one is the goal of a Selector.

A Selector becomes an Eternal Girl when certain conditions are fulfilled. The conditions for an Eternal Girl always require that the Selector win a number of battles; the number varies from wish to wish. There can be other conditions required for becoming an

Eternal Girl, aside from winning battles. When a Selector fulfills these conditions and is about to win a Selector battle, the LRIG has the Selector recite an oath:

"私は受け入れる選択者の理お. そして今ここに, 新たの無限少女が誕生する!"
"I accept the Laws of the Selector. And now, a new Eternal Girl will be born!"

Then the LRIG and selector finish off the opponent.

However, when this occurs, the Selector does not keep their own body: instead, their LRIG inherits their body, while the Selector becomes a new LRIG. In this way, the Selector becomes the person capable of fulfilling their wish, but in a way unintended by the Selector. The LRIG who inhabits the Selector's body is still obligated to fulfill the Selector's wish, and cannot simply abandon the wish after becoming human. If the LRIG does not attempt to fulfill the Selector's wish, they eventually disappear. For some wishes, the LRIG has to live the wish out rather than just fulfilling it once: for example, in Fumio Futase's case, she has to continually fulfill the original Fumio's wish of becoming a novelist by releasing more novels.

LRIGs generally do not reveal the above truth to their Selectors; if they did, and the Selector decided to stop battling, they would forever lose their chance to regain a human body. The Selector would neither win battles, becoming an Eternal Girl and exchanging places with the LRIG, or lose battles, losing their Selector rights and returning the LRIG to the cycle until they appear to another Selector. This is not a hard rule, however. If a Selector does choose to keep battling even if they know the truth, the LRIG can still escape from the card.

As demonstrated in Episode 12, the oath is required to be repeated in its entirety for the wish to be granted. It is possible for a Selector's wish to interrupt another Selector in the process of becoming an Eternal Girl.

It is also shown (and confirmed in selector spread WIXOSS Episode 1) that a LRIG can refuse to accept their Selector's wish, preventing them from becoming an Eternal Girl. This will usually not happen in most cases, as most LRIGs would want to escape from their card, but in some cases, a Selector's wish might be detrimental to the LRIG. In Tama's case, she did not want Rūko to become a LRIG, separating her from Tama. In Iona's case, she wants to keep battling forever, and Rūko becoming an Eternal Girl would bring an end to her battling.

Known Eternal Girls

By extension, all known LRIGs, other than Tama, are Eternal Girls. This section only lists characters who became an Eternal Girl on-screen.
