[[folder: Nagisa Momoe]]
A young girl from a bad place, Nagisa contracts as a Magical Girl in Chapter 6. Is mostly known to Homura for her Witchself, Charlotte the Sweets Witch.

* DisappearedDad: If anyone asks her papa is away on a business trip. In actuality he's not around at all.
* FoodBasedSuperpowers: On top of creating bubbles, Nagisa is also able to use food as part of her attacks, such as bubblegum to bind foes and gobsmackers to strike direct blows.

!!Mitakihara Antagonists

[[folder: Kyubey]]
Mami's only companion for a large bulk of her three years as a Magical Girl. However unbeknownst to her, he's far from benevolent.

* SquishyWizard: Kyoko is frank that she sucks at close-quarters combat, only having a magnifying glass as a weapon. The couple of times she gets hit by Kyoko, the strikes are pretty severe as a result. However in order to actually do that, you have to fight through a seemingly endless of dinosaurs.

* CoatCape: She wears her White Feather cloak like this.
* TheDreaded: She appears to be the most powerful member of the Magius who isn't a Magius herself, and Kyoko's attitude very quickly changed when she saw it was her that had come with Ryoko to get her and not any of the other Enforcers.
* HugeSchoolgirl: She's taller than Oriko, whose already taller than most adult women in Japan.
* UndyingLoyalty: Towards the Magius, specifically Touka and Nemu, for saving her life. So much so that her costume displays two separate Magius symbols on it.
* UnskilledButStrong: Sute has control of her immense reserves of magic so poor she makes a suicidal Sayaka look stable when holding back with less intensive attacks, but she's also so fast and quick in her reflexes while holding back she can match Homura's time stops despite not knowing what Homura's powers are.

!!!The Wings of the Magius

* PrecisionFStrike: In Chapter 13, [[spoiler:after hearing from an emotionally-torn Sayaka about Kyubey's talks with her]], Mami is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness so angry]] she calls [[spoiler:Kyubey]] "a little shit." Even Homura is surprised at this.

A young lady estranged from her rich family, Oriko contracts with Kyubey in several timelines and gains the power to see the future. As she is prone to seeing Madoka's potential threat to the world and aim to kill her before she becomes a Witch, Homura really doesn't like her or her partner Kirika, who is now her Soulmate. Currently the second in command of the Magius, below only the Magius themselves.

* CompositeCharacter: Alongside her existing traits, she's also in Mifuyu's usual role in the Magius.
* HugeSchoolgirl: Homura notes that she's the tallest Magical Girl she usually deals with and stands 170cms tall, which is taller than many ''adult'' women in Japan.

* NoSocialSkills: Between her upbringing lacking in friends and family, the stress of time loops for what is implied to be longer than the canon hundredish she went through, and the fact that she has undiagnosed autisim, Homura is very, very, ''very'' bad at socialization, which tends to make the time loops even harder because she had a lot of trouble understanding what caused the others to react to her negatively. Madoka and Mami being able to actually read her emotions and thus intent makes her efforts a lot easier because they are able to grasp what her intent is instead of assuming the worst as tends to happen. This is driven home in Chapter 13, [[spoiler:where while Madoka and Mami can tell how much the situation with Hitomi [[ItsAllMyFault is eating at her]] on the inside with her rolling emotions, Sayaka (who's dealing with her [[KeepingSecretsSucks own baggage]]) can only see how Homura is acting on the outside with her stoic face and looking like she doesn't care nearly enough, and when Homura shuts down an offer to contract to help Hitomi, that's when Sayaka lets loose.]]

* BreakTheCutie: Chapter 13 is not good to her mental state. [[spoiler:Fretting over Hitomi's disappearance is one thing, but paired with growing conflict about spying on Madoka and Homura for Kyubey, her own feelings of inadequacy, and then learning Hitomi's been kidnapped by a Magical Girl SerialKiller and thus indirectly that her best friend must have made a contract and she didn't notice, and Homura ''again'' shutting down the idea of contracting in order to find or save Hitomi, all culminates into her having a breakdown where she airs it all out and expecting her friends to hate her or call her a traitor.]] Luckily for her, it gets better.

* QuirkyFemaleMinion: Where Oriko puts up a proper front, Kirika will read off note cards to know what she's saying and acts strange in general.

* GodzillaThreshold: She makes it clear to Homura in no uncertain terms that [[spoiler:if Hitomi dies because of The Griefer]], she ''will'' contract no matter how much Homura pleads. Homura reluctantly accepts this.

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Manages to [[GilliganCut between scenes]] [[spoiler:completely strip Homura naked in order to prevent her from running out into the night without rest to hunt down Suzembachi.]]

!!Antagonists

* ItsAllMyFault: Takes [[spoiler: Hitomi's kidnapping]] very badly.

* SecretKeeper: Learns about magic in Chapter 5 when she and Madoka get trapped in a Labyrinth. She quickly realizes [[KeepingSecretsSucks the downsides]] when she can't comfort Hitomi's worry over Kyosuke when Mami is secretly healing him with her magic.

* DeadlyEuphemism: She refers to herself as a "practitioner of agriculture" over other Magical Girls being "hunter-gathers", with her victims being her "crop".

* TheSleepless: Homura can operate without sleep and once did so for the looping equivalent of ten years. She is willing to work without sleeping to [[spoiler: retrieve the missing Hitomi from The Griefer]], but Mami and especially Madoka do not let her.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The shock of realizing that The Griefer is still alive and in Mitakihara is enough to make her not only drop the snack bar she was eating, but not pick it up.

* BrokenPedestal: Her unflinching fondness for Kyubey starts taking hits as the story goes on, mostly relating to how pushy he's being about Homura's anomalous nature and his willingness to suggest underhanded methods in getting Madoka to contract.

* InformedFlaw: At least according to Mayumi, Mami needs to lose weight. Kyoko, Homura, and Sayaka don't see it.

A veteran, anomalous Magical Girl whose powers lets her rewind time to save the girl she loves. One time rewind brings her into a very different world than she's used to.

Madoka's best friend, Sayaka has been protecting and cheering Madoka up for ages.

Mami's former apprentice and partner, Kyoko is a hard-edged Magical Girl who still retains a good heart deep down.

* HiddenDepths: Hitomi might be a popular and well off student, but the pressures that life is putting on her are starting to get at her. [[spoiler: Enough that Kyubey's offer of granting a wish seriously tempt her to use it to make her parents back off.

A young girl from a bad place, Nagisa contracts as a Magical Girl in Chapter 6. is mostly known to Homura for her Witchself Charlotte the Sweets Witch.

* HiredGuns: She worked as a mercenary for the Wings of the Magius in Kamihara, serving as both an Enforcer for their missions outside of the city and a trainer for new recruits, but she never became a full-time member due to growing feelings of seeing the Magius as a {{cult}}.

!!Antagonists

[[folder: Kyubey]]
Mami's only companion for a large bulk of her three years as a Magical Girl. However unbeknownst to her, he's far from benevolent.

* AliensAreBastards: He's an extraterrestrial and he's quite terrible, even if only certain Magical Girls realize this before its too late.
* DeadlyEuphemism: Kyubey refers to the transformation into a Witch as various forms of "maturation", [[ExactWords which isn't an inaccurate word]]. It also works wonders when talking to those who are in the dark about the AwfulTruth, as they don't connect that him talking about helping Magical Girls mature into the "beings they're meant to be" is ''not'' a good thing for the girls in question.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Though he has to grant any wish a Magical Girl asks for as long as they have the potential to fulfill it, and he has no problem granting even mundane wishes despite refusing to be upfront with the full details of the contract without being asked, Kyubey is vocally disapproving of wishes that are made with the intent of causing disasters, like say a ZombieApocalypse.
* EvilFormerFriend: His days as 'Cube' are far behind him, with Elisa now actively working against him in Europe.
* GreaterScopeVillain: It doesn't matter what Madoka and company have to deal with, be it Magical Girl or Witch, Kyubey is ultimately responsible for their existence. In some cases, like with Akasuki, he's directly involved in their actions from behind the scenes.
* LackOfEmpathy: Kyubey's main concern is only with what he deems will give him the best results and to go about getting them for the sake of prolonging the universe's lifespan. He doesn't understand why humans and other forms of sapient life get so bent out of shape about the things he does to reach those results (LyingByOmission or straight-up manipulation) or even what those results entail (turning his Magical Girl contracts into [[TranshumanAbomination Witches]]).
* PragmaticVillainy: Kyubey as a rule ignores Soulbonded girls for a contract and doesn't bother manipulating already Soulbonded Magical Girls into becoming Witches [[spoiler:despite the energy released by their resulting Witches and [[FusionDance Walpurgisnachts]] being much higher than regular Magical Girls]]. This isn't out of any moral objections, but simply because it takes significantly more effort to corrupt a Soulbond Magical Girl(s) than would be practical since their bonds passively purify Soul Gem corruption. He only makes exceptions if the Magical Girl in question has incredibly high potential and/or the Magical Girl is in a particularly vulnerable mental spot on their own that would let him push them into despair without too much effort.
* SarcasmBlind: Kyubey is not good at picking up sarcasm.

[[folder: Akasuki Suzembachi]]
A Magical Girl serial killer who collaborates with Kyubey, whose main ''modus operandi'' is finding and tricking twelve young girls into contracting before controlling them and forcing them to Witch Out before harvesting their Grief Seeds and moving on to a different city afterwards to repeat the process. She's been tricking others to contract and killing them for Grief Seeds for so long, even non Magical Girls are aware of her.

* BigEater: Madoka loves food, and Sayaka warns Homura to give Madoka her own bag of popcorn at any movie dates.

A Magical Girl serial killer who collaborates with Kyubey, whose main ''modus operandi'' is finding and tricking twelve young girls into contracting before controlling them and forcing them to Witch Out before harvesting their Grief Seeds. She's been tricking others to contract and killing them for Grief Seeds for so long, even non Magical Girls are aware of her.

* PeoplePuppets: If she jabs a target in the neck with her finger ring, Akasuki gains control of their bodily functions and can make them do anything she wants. It's not MindControl, as her victims are [[AndIMustScream very much aware of what's happening to them]]. It's more effective [[ThePowerOfTrust the more the victim trusts her]] before she uses it.

* EvilMentor: She teaches her victims the ropes of Magical Girl life in order to build a bond of trust, and then strikes in a vulnerable moment to render them her puppets to be harvested. It helps that her lessons actually ''do'' have merit behind them, thus leaving her victims more vulnerable to her charm.

A Magical Girl serial killer who collaborates with Kyubey. She's been tricking others to contract and killing them for Grief Seeds for so long, even non Magical Girls are aware of her.

* MindControl: If she jabs a target in the neck with her finger ring, Akasuki gains control of their bodily functions and can make them do anything she wants.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She looks to be in her mid teens, but she's been killing people for decades. As she admits to [[spoiler: Hitomi]], she's actually in her thirties.
* RazorWind: Is able to slice the air with her finger ring enough to create slices of wind that can damage enemies.

* BoobBasedGag: As she's the most well-endowed of the main five girls, a lot of jokes are made at the expense of her bust.

* PragmaticVillainy: Kyubey as a rule ignores Soulbonded girls for a contract and doesn't bother manipulating already Soulbonded Magical Girls into becoming Witches [[spoiler:despite the energy released by their resulting Witches and [[FusionDance Walpurgisnachts]] being much higher than regular Magical Girls]]. This isn't out of any moral objections, but simply because it takes significantly more effort to corrupt a Soulbond Magical Girl(s) than would be practical since their bonds passively purify Soul Gem corruption. He only makes exceptions if the Magical Girl in question has incredibly high potential.

* MuggleMageRomance: Her first two Soulmates are Magical Girls, while she herself is a regular human. While she the potential to change that even with Kyubey's preference to give Soulbonds a wide berth, Homura would very much like to keep it that way.

* MinorsLivingAlone: Before the series she was living alone in her apartment due to the death of her parents and her living relatives being half a world away. She very quickly jumps on moving in with the Kanames for a reason.

* SecretKeeper: Learns about magic in Chapter 5 when she and Madoka get trapped in a Labyrinth.

* JapaneseDelinquents: She doesn't go to school, picks fight, and is abrasive, but is a good person deep down.

* MysteriousPast: In-universe, her past is something that no one knows anything about except herself. Madoka and Mami have the most understanding of it, mostly against Homura's will when her dreams get shared, but they have far from the full story. Kyubey is quite interested in figuring out the anomalous Homura Akemi.

* BrokenPedestal: Her unflinching fondness for Kyubey starts taking hits as the story goes on.

* MyGreatestFailure: Not being able or thinking about to wish to save her parents too, as well as being unable to save a young boy named Kou from a Witch early in her career are Mami's greatest regrets. She gets reassurances on both from Madoka and Homura.
