Candy JEM

"The Candy series tells the stories of Joni, Mia and Emilia - three close friends who formed a pop band. In each book, the three of them learn about health, moral values, good habits and so much more." — Candy JEM's introduction in "Reaching for the Stars: Friendship"

Candy JEM

Candy JEM (Mandarin: 糖果喵组员, lit. Candy Meow) is a pop trio formed between Joni, Emilia and Mia, three of the most popular girls in Sacred Hearts Primary School ever since the three emerged victorious in the school's singing competition. The trio are the main protagonists of the series.

Background

Unbeknownst to all of its members except Charles, Candy JEM was formed unintentionally when the two close friends, Joni and Mia, became in the same class with Emilia. Joni beared disliking towards Emilia when the three classmates made their debut in Reaching for the Stars: Friendship . In the end, the three became friends ever since.

Despite the fact that Charles is a member of Candy JEM, the latter was denial of joining Candy JEM in the first place. As in Everybody's Favourite Friend: Amity, it was implied that Emilia, Joni and Mia were the ones whom discussed and "accepted" Charles into the group as an honorary member. It was then revealed the reason why Charles became a member of Candy JEM was to allow Joni and Emilia to keep an eye out for any signs of intimate confrontation between Mia and Charles.

Soft badges were also designed for each member to wear as a sign of the group's friendship. The badges also represent a sign of loyalty the members have for their group. When Emilia wanted to end her friendship with Mia, she tore off her own badge, signalling her discontinuation of their friendship, although it was later revealed it was just an act to get Mia back to her senses.
