* DidntSeeThatComing: She is prevented from eating the main characters' souls by Jerky, Kyoko's pet valk, which wakes Kyoko up by biting her and then starts biting Mephisto's physical body, causing her enough pain that she loses concentration and the dream she is keeping the heroes in falls apart.

Her magical girl ability was to create and control gold strings, and she died soon after contracting. And that's about it.

* EldritchAbomination: In the present she's more of a HumanoidAbomination or PhysicalGod, but during the "fight" with the main cast she turns into presumably what she looked like as a living witch; A massive tree with metal plates and loudspeakers nailed or tied to the trunk, branches that end in humanlike hands, and a crown consisting of a stage with instruments playing punk music. The whole thing is on fire, and around the base are thousands of scarecrow-like familiars feeding it with chunks of wood.

* LeonineContract: She offers this to all her victims, a literal contract that, if accepted, will put them in a LotusEaterMachine while she slowly consumes their soul. She makes it clear, however, that the soul-eating will happen regardless, the contract will just make the situation less of a AndIMustScream situation. According to her, everyone who refuses has regretted it, but she doesn't let them change their minds.

She claims that she offers one to all of her victims, letting them live out whatever happy illusory life they want while they're being digested over the millenia. To the Freehaven four, she offers to give them a life where everything that sent them out on their current miserable quest never happened, and would even make minor adjustments (like pairing up Hitomi and Kyosuke so they won't be in the way for Kyoko and Sayaka).
