History Characters / MagiaRecordWingsOfMagius

* {{Trumplica}}: For a Magical Girl, Alina Gray sure takes a lot of pages out of the Donald's book. She is the blondish (lime-green) hamtastic, {{narcissist}}ic leader of the Wings of the Magius, an ApocalypseCult with some right-wing populist undertones, and [[spoiler:she is a last-minute corruptive influence of the Wings of the Magius, having effectively encouraged Touka and Nemu to [[SuperSupremacist consider humans as less important than Magical Girls]] and sacrifice them for the Magius' salvation of Magical Girls]]. Also, she is the daughter of VicariouslyAmbitious gallery owners who [[spoiler:enabled her MadArtist tendencies]] (that is, the ''Art of the Deal''), and her BarrierWarrior abilities are reminisent of the Trump wall. It's also telling that the game was released on the same year Trump became president.

Also, she is the daughter of VicariouslyAmbitious gallery owners who [[spoiler:enabled her MadArtist tendencies]] (the ''Art of the Deal'', if you know what I mean), and her BarrierWarrior abilities are remisicient of the Trump wall. It's also telling that the game was released on the same year Trump became president.

* BadBoss: It is implied that she was the one who [[spoiler:had Mami brainwashed into Holy Mami]] after the latter was disgusted that she was willing to attack other Magical Girls.

* DirtyCoward: Despite being aware that [[spoiler:Walpurgisnacht is about to reach Kamihama in hours]], Alina decides to ditch the Magius in the anime even though they could use her as extra muscle.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In the anime, Alina tells Mifuyu that she's severing ties with the Wings of the Magius because she decided that Touka and Nemu's methods of liberating Magical Girls didn't fit her artistic vision, and [[spoiler:the only way she finds them or humanity useful is by turning all of them into witches for art]].

-->'''Touka''': "Humanity wouldn't have advanced as far as it has if Magical Girls hadn't sacrificed their lives. That all ends here. I won't allow them to use us for the sake of their progress when they don't even know about us."

** Both of them are {{sociopath}}s who appear to be doing what they do to save people but are willing to drop their WellIntentionedExtremist facade to suit their own needs. However, Kyubey is a necessary evil for the universe whose [[BlueAndOrangeMorality alien morality system]] causes problems for the Magical Girls, which is demonstrated by his insistence in restoring the Witch cycle in ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Rebellion]]'' even when aware of an alternative, whereas Alina is an AxCrazy sadist who not only admits to not having any genuine intentions to liberate Magical Girls from the Witch cycle and tries to [[spoiler:needlessly [[GenocideFromTheInside throw her own planet under the bus]] to satisfy her MadArtist cravings]], but also has a terrestrial understanding of right and wrong that would maker her behavior completely inexcusable (especially compared to Kyubey).

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: In the anime, Alina is self-admittedly apathetic to the liberation of Magical Girls from the suffering of becoming Witches, even when taking into account the unscrupulous lengths Touka and Nemu will go to achieve that goals. This also proves to be a FatalFlaw in the finale, where she [[spoiler:openly admits to the other Magical Girls that she thinks condemning all humanity into the same fate as Magical Girls is brilliant if it's for her own art, and this eventually leaves the Magical Girls with no choice but to turn against Alina and, under Iroha's leadership, eventually destroy her]].

** In Arc 1 Chapter 10, [[spoiler:becomes Holy Alina to destroy the world]].
** In the anime finale, [[spoiler:tries to turn all humanity into Witches to satiate her own narcissist artistic tastes]].

** Her anime counterpart is essentially this for every BigBad in the franchise, having no [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes loved ones]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist altrustic motives]], or any sign of a [[FreudianExcuse genuinely sympathetic backstory]].

-->'''Alina''': "[[spoiler:Ciao, goody-goodies! Ciao, Magius! [[ThatManIsDead Ciao, Alina Gray]]]]!"

* AdaptationalJerkass: Alina's AxCrazy tendencies are bumped up in the anime, and her [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold humanizing qualities]] in the game, including her [[MoralityPet treatment of Karin]], are largely absent.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Alina's EvilPlan to [[spoiler:use Embryo Eve after Touka and Nemu jump ship]], while [[EvilIsPetty for petty reasons]], is much worse in the anime, where she [[spoiler:tries to turn all humanity into witches to [[ItsAllAboutMe feed her ego]], while the game has her use it to destroy Kamihama because she genuinely thought they were asking for it]].

** Both of them are {{sociopath}}s who appear to be doing what they do to save people but are willing to drop their WellIntentionedExtremist facade to suit their own needs. However, Kyubey is a necessary evil for the universe whose [[BlueAndOrangeMorality alien morality system]] causes problems for the Magical Girls, which is demonstrated by his insistence in restoring the Witch cycle in ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Rebellion]]'' even when aware of an alternative, whereas Alina is an AxCrazy sadist who not only admits to not having any genuine intentions to liberate Magical Girls from the Witch cycle, but also has a terrestrial understanding of right and wrong that wouldn't excuse her willingness to [[spoiler:needlessly throw her own planet under the bus when she has the chance]].

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: In the anime finale, [[spoiler:Alina outright admits to the other Magical Girls that she thinks condemning all humanity into the same fate as Magical Girls is brilliant if it's for her own art, and this eventually leaves the Magical Girls with no choice but to turn against Alina and, under Iroha's leadership, eventually destroy her]].

** In the anime, this proves to be FatalFlaw. Not only was she part of the Magius only as an artistic project despite being a crucial member, but [[spoiler:in the anime finale she is willing to [[FinalSolution turn all humanity into Witches]] and sell out every Magical Girl to Kyubey if it’s to satisfy her own artistic vision]].

* HeroKiller: She cements herself as the final nail in the coffin for [[spoiler:Ui's demise by fusing herself and her doppel wtih Embryo Eve (the latter's body)]].

* UngratefulBastard: Although Touka and Nemu granted her the ability to summon her Doppel instead of witching out, with Alina herself even going as far as to create the Doppel barrier herself, she makes it clear that she could care less about anything but her art or even [[spoiler:the two being betrayed to the Witch cycle when her barrier collapses]].

* FatalFlaw: In the anime, the self-serving aspect of her MadArtist tendencies. Alina (self-admittedly) joined the Magius for some art and [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist left when it failed to capture her vision]], and after [[spoiler:seeing Embryo Eye wreak havoc as her ideal vision of art, decides to sacrifice her own humanity in order to deprive all humanity of it as part of said vision, leading Iroha and company to destroy her.]]
* FinalBoss: [[spoiler:She and Mikoto serve as this for Arc 2 until Karin convinced her to pull a HeelFaceTurn.]]

* PromotedToPlayable: On March 2nd, 2018, to promote her and Hinano's Training Event.

** In the anime, this proves to ba FatalFlaw. Not only was she part of the Magius only as an artistic project despite being a crucial one, but [[spoiler:in the anime finale she is willing to [[FinalSolution turn all humanity into Witches]] and sell out every Magical Girl to Kyubey if it’s to satisfy her own artistic vision]].

* EvilLaugh: Given that she outclasses the rest of the Magius in hamminess, it's fitting that her Magia has one of these. Oh, and [[spoiler:she has one when severely wounding Embryo Eve during her FusionDance in the anime finale]].

* FatalFlaw: In the anime, [[{{Narcissist}} narcissism]]. Alina (self-admittedly) joined the Magius for some art and [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist left when it failed to capture her vision]], and after [[spoiler:seeing Embryo Eye wreak havoc as her ideal vision of art, decides to sacrifice her own humanity in order to deprive all humanity of it as part of said vision, leading Iroha and company to destroy her.]]

** In the anime, this is an even more central part of her. Not only was she part of the Magius only as an artistic project despite being a crucial one, but [[spoiler:in the anime finale she is willing to [[FinalSolution turn all humanity into Witches]] and sell out every Magical Girl to Kyubey if it’s to satisfy her own artistic vision]].

* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: One of the shots in the opening is her, Mifuyu, and Alina in a field of teddy bears, with a closeup of Touka cuddling a blue one.
* TheHeavy: While the three Magius are equal as leaders in-theory, a lot of the Magius' plan only work because Touka does a lot of legworks; she plans their schemes, she funds their operation, her power creates the Doppels, and she's the one who breaks the heroes' group.

* TheSociopath: In the anime, Alina's personality is akin to that of a low-functioning sociopath. She is an AxCrazy sadist who not only [[LackOfEmpathy doesn't care about others]], let alone Touka and Nemu's goal for saving Magical Girls from the despair of witching out, but in the anime finale has no problem [[spoiler:throwing all humanity and Magical Girls under the bus by turning them all into Witches]].

* BigDamnHeroes : In Summer 2018 event, based on the witch rune transcript that appears in that scene, it is implied that she was the one who wakes Homura up [[spoiler:[[NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay when the later is knocked unconscious by a vengeful ghost that wishes to attack her]]]].

* BigDamnHero: In Summer 2018 event, based on the witch rune transcript that appears in that scene, it is implied that she was the one who wakes Homura up [[spoiler:[[NotTooDeadToSaveTheDay when the later is knocked unconscious by a vengeful ghost that wishes to attack her]]]].

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Alina tells Mifuyu that she's severing ties with the Wings of the Magius because she decided that Touka and Nemu's methods of liberating Magical Girls didn't fit her artistic vision, and [[spoiler:the only way she finds them or humanity useful is by turning all of them into witches for art]].

* PetTheDog: How she [[AloofBigSister treats Karin]] is a lot better than how she [[{{Sadist}} treats everyone else]].

* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:Is revealed to be this following Iroha's successful rescue of Ui in Chapter 10.]]

* EvilLaugh: Given that she outclasses the rest of the Magius, it's fitting that her Magia has one of these. Oh, and [[spoiler:she has one when severely wounding Embryo Eve during her FusionDance in the anime finale]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: By admitting that she was only part of the Magius for her own artistic vision and by [[spoiler:trying to condemn humanity to the Magical Girls' eventual fate just to satiate her narcissist artistic vision]], the anime's Alina makes it clear that she cares about nothing but herself and her own art, [[spoiler:even in the afterlife]].

* TheUnfettered: In the anime, nothing stops Alina from achieving her own twisted vision of art, not even the risk of [[spoiler:[[AndThenJohnWasAZombie turning billions of people into Witches]]]].

* WouldHurtAChild: In the anime finale, [[spoiler:she not only plans to turn ''every human'' into Witches, but also makes Embryo Eve (the 11-year-old Ui's mutated body) [[HighPressureBlood bleed gallons]] by merging herself and her Doppel with her]].

* {{Catchphrase}}: If one of the twins makes a statement, the other twin will say 'Nee~' ('Right~') as an emphasis. In the English localization it's translated as "for sure."

* KickTheDog: When revealing her actual intentions about joining the Magius, she has the gall to not only does this in front of a just-severely weakened TokenGoodTeammate, but also insult her own Black Feathers as dumb as sheep.
* KnightOfCerebus: While the Amane twins are our first look at the Wings of Magius, and Tsukuyo's use of Doppel is slightly intimidating after Iroha's use of Giovanna caused a ruckus, they were quickly demoted to IneffectualSympatheticVillain who get pushed around by the heroes. Alina, on the other hand, menaces the heroes the same way Yuuri did with the Pleiades Saints; cunning traps, dangerous skills, inability to hold back, and foul temperament.

* ItsAllAboutMe: By admitting that she was only part of the Magius for her own artistic vision and by [[spoiler:trying to condemn humanity to the Magical Girls' eventual fate just to satiate her narcissist artistic vision]], the anime's Alina makes it clear that she cares nothing about anything about herself and her own art, [[spoiler:even in the afterlife]].

** They're this InUniverse too, as when the [[spoiler:Wings of Magius are put on trial in the "Dreaming Cherry Blossom" event, the Amanes are let off scot-free; they're just that harmless.]]

* SolomonDivorce: Their parents are divorced because the strain of social status difference proves that love doesn't conquer all. Tsukuyo goes with her mother's high class family while Tsukasa goes to her bamboo craftsman father. They were separated when they were very young that they didn't even realize that they are twins until recently. Because of this, Tsukuyo's real full name is actually [[NomDeMom Tsukuyo Akatsuki]].

* APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: Tsukasa used to be Kanagi's junior and she even tried to discourage Tsukasa from joining the Wings of Magius. But Tsukasa's resolve to fight against her fate, not only for sake of survival but also so she could finally escape Kamihama's social conflict by living long enough to do so caused Kanagi to relent her pursuit. Kanagi still beats up Tsukasa when their paths cross out principle in the present.

* StayInTheKitchen: Tsukasa's father has very rigid ideas about gender roles because of his upbringing, so even though Tsukasa is tomboyish enough to fit in with his (all-male) apprentices, in her father's eyes, Tsukasa can never become more than the woman who takes care of the house. No wonder Tsukasa's mother divorced him. And when you're the sole female in the house, all 'female' work naturally fall solely on you - Tsukasa's exhaustion was part of why she got witch-kissed before she ran away with Tsukuyo.

* EvilIsHammy: She's the loudest of the Magius trio and even has an EvilLaugh.

* ItsAllAboutMe: In the anime finale, [[spoiler:she attempts [[FinalSolution genocide]] on humans just to create some art she wants to be remembered for, with zero remorse to boot, and even in the afterlife she still cares only about her own art.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk:
** [[spoiler:In the anime's last episode, she reveals a new plan to empower every human with a MassSuperEmpoweringEvent... and then she reveals that the whole point in doing so is that [[LockedOutOfTheLoop their unawareness of Grief Seeds]] will [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie cause them all to witch out]].]]
** Her supposed mission to liberate magical girls also counts in the anime. Her team-up with Touka and Nemu suggested that she was doing it for their fellow Magical Girls, but the fact that she left them over creative differences and [[spoiler:came back with the aforementioned evil plan]] clearly says otherwise.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Her anime counterpart is a rare example of this in the franchise (unlike [[Characters/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaKyubey Kyubey]], numerous [[Characters/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaWitches Witches]], and others). Despite being the one who created the Doppel barrier to stop Kyubey from [[FateWorseThanDeath turning her fellow Magical Girls into Witches]], she gradually got bored of that mission and [[spoiler:came back in the last episode with a plan to [[FinalSolution commit genocide on the human race]] for [[ItsAllAboutMe her own selfish goals]]]].

* BigBadDuumvirate: The group is lead by three Magical Girls- the artist Alina Gray, the genius Touka Satomi, and the writer Nemu Hiiragi.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Alina appears supposedly loyal to the Wings of the Magius from the time she appears in the anime, but throughout the second half of the anime she starts to prove herself uncaring about their well-intentioned goals, and her narcissism starts building up so much [[spoiler:that she's willing to not just turn all humanity into Witches [[EvilIsPetty just to make art]], but also [[ThatManIsDead embrace her transformation as the Witch that will do the dirty work]].]].

* AdaptationalJerkass: Alina's AxCrazy tendencies are bumped up in the anime, and her [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold humanizing qualities]], including her [[MoralityPet treatment of Karin]] from the game are largely absent.

* AdaptationalJerkass: Alina's AxCrazy tendencies are bumped up in the anime, while her JerkWithAHeartOfGold qualities from the game are largely absent.

* TakingYouWithMe: In the anime finale, Alina wastes no strength [[spoiler:using her last moments as a Magical Girl trying to selling out the others to Kyubey by [[NoOntologicalInertia shattering the barrier while turning humanity into Witches]]]].

* HatsOffToTheDead: [[spoiler:Gives herself one by taking her hat off right before she turns herself into a Witch]].

* ItsAllAboutMe: In the anime finale, [[spoiler:she attempts [[FinalSolution genocide]] on humans just to create some art she wants to be remembered for, with zero remorse to boot.]]

* LackOfEmpathy: In the anime finale, she doesn't care about [[BadBoss the Black Feathers she indiscriminately hits with her cubes]] or [[spoiler:the humans she tries to [[AndIMustScream condemn into Witchification]]]].

* {{Bokukko}}: Uses the "boku" pronoun and speaks rather coarsely, which is seen to be out-of-place in the elite environment she is raised in. It's mostly taken from the {{Tokusatsu}} shows that she is a big fan of.

* {{Bokukko}}: Refers to herself with the boyish pronoun ''boku'', though she isn't otherwise particularly tomboyish.
