Wow, that was also my very first theory!

Well, that would render all of the red completely meaningless, right?

Why is the "imaginary friend" suddenly the main character all of the sudden? Isn't the imaginary character usually the side character?

I believe 'Shannon' wasn't just an imaginary friend created by Yasu to comfort herself in her loneliness. It's made clear that it was what she aspired to be, she always says she dreamed about becoming like Shannon, a popular girl that everyone likes and a reliable servant. And so, when she conquers the realm of magic, she modifies the world to 'become' it, and that must explain why Shannon, who is described as very efficient and reliable in Yasu's narration suddenly becomes a forgetful clutz. And that also supports the theory that 'Shannon' is Yasuda's actual blessed name.

Although didn't Maria create Sakutarou, not Rosa?
Indeed that symbolism is important but I do attribute that Maria's inability to keep Sakutarou alive is more attributed to her losing sight of what magic was about. That her hatred of her mother filled her with different kind of anti-good magic toxin.

Do not think too much into this, let's just put it like this. Maria believed Sakutarou was her friend and that he existed. Then she sees her mother chop his head off, and he dies. Beatrice can't revive him. And that's all there is to it.
Your point about hatred producing the toxin is an interesting one, though I'd rather believe Maria's magic had some meaning and therefore she did love her mama.
