History Characters / TheSoulmateTimeline

* MinorLivingAlone: 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.

* StalkingIsLove: She learned this idea from Timeline 1 Madoka and has carried it forward, thinking nothing of following Hitomi home to sneak her a phone so she can call Kyosuke.

* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: There are Magical Girls who gain the power to alter the future when they contract, stop time, read minds, and a myriad of other such abilities. Mami...naturally has a power that any Magical Girl can get via meeting a Coordinator.

* NotInFrontOfTheKid: Kyoko replaces her swearing whenever she's around Nagisa or Yuma. [[LadySwearsALot Considering she's one of the most foul-mouthed characters]] around, this crops up a lot. After moving into the Kaname residence, she also does this around Tatsuya.

* UnkemptBeauty: Being a [[SatisfiedStreetRat Street Rat]] for a period of time means Kyoko only does the bare minimum upkeep on herself, but she's quite the pretty teen even without it. Her casually admitting she doesn't need to brush or even shampoo her long hair (only using hand soap if she wants to get out any smells) to keep it naturally smooth and flowing to the point she never gets bedhead, something she puts down to genetics since her mom and Momo were the same, is enough to leave all of her Soulmates speechless.

* NotSoDifferent: While many of them have wildly different personalities, there's a lot of overlap between them individually that comes into play in their relationships that ultimately are what help them connect and bond with each other.

** According to Junko, there is a reason she specifically bothers Nakazawa when her romantic relationships go belly up, a 'long and sorid reason' that is apparently on Junko's list of stories to tell when its time to discuss the 'juicy stories' when she turns fifteen.

* NoodleIncident: Offhand mentions of past romantic rants about breakups over napkin prep and specific tableware.

* BigBrotherInstinct: She was a very good older sister to Momo when she was alive. [[spoiler: The fact that Momo's death could even be blamed on Kyoko at all was what Kyubey ended up using to try and drive Kyoko into despair, choosing it over the horrible truths that most Magical Girls can't handle.]]

* StalkingIsLove: She learned this idea from Timeline 1 Madika and has carried it forward, thinking nothing of following Hitomi home to sneak her a phone so she can call Kyosuke.

* UnkemptBeauty: Being a StreetRat for a period of time means Kyoko only does the bare minimum upkeep on herself, but she's quite the pretty teen even without it. Her casually admitting she doesn't need to brush or even shampoo her long hair (only using hand soap if she wants to get out any smells) to keep it naturally smooth and flowing to the point she never gets bedhead, something she puts down to genetics since her mom and Momo were the same, is enough to leave all of her Soulmates speechless.

[[folder: Gisela]]

* PresentAbsence: Only Iroha remembers her, but echoes of her existence hang around her Soulmates everywhere, including spoiler: [[nightmares of her screaming.]]

* OneSteveLimit: Has the same given name as one of Matsuri’s deceased teammates.

[[folder:The Ferroros]]
Mami's maternal family from Italy, she's not been able to see them since becoming both an orphan and a Magical Girl. The changes to her life since meeting her Soulmates has opened the door once more. Members include Mami's 'Nonna' Armina Ferroro, cousin Alessia Ferroro, her Soulmate Carlotta Volpe, and Uncle Umberto.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: A healer who is the token good teammate of the Magius who devotes herself to helping the sick and injured with blond hair.

* NoSell: They were able to cancel out Sasa Yuuki's attempts to [[BrainwashedAndCrazy control them]]. According to Crossoverpairinglover, this was because she specifically tried to turn them against one another, which got hard-countered by their wish to never hate each other.

* RaisedByGrandparents: Not initially, but she's taken in by her grandparents after her mother's guilty verdict who are a vast improvement as guardians. Kyoko herself is still welcome around her for saving her.

** Touka and Nemu have no problem with Yuuri curing non-Magius members of their illnesses when she's not required to tend to them for personal reasons and fully respect Yuuri's ideals.

* PsychologicalProjection: Can fall into this sometimes, such has having trouble understanding why Sasa Yuuki would hide her powers.

* MayflyDecemberRomance: The revelation of the immortality of Magical Girls puts this in play between Madoka and her Soulmates, and its a problem that Homura is aware that if they can't find another solution for, Madoka will contract rather than let it come to that, mostly because her mortality would take Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Sayaka with them.

* HealingHands: As her wish directly relates to healing, Sayaka has both a boosted HealingFactor and her magical ability to heal others is much stronger than the average Magical Girl.

* NiceGuy: Tomohisa doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body. At worst he and Mami sometimes compete over kitchen space.

* ButtMonkey: He's the teacher's punching bag for some reason and often used as a joke in story, even [[spoiler: Candeloro]] will throw shade at him by suggesting Homura would beat him with a dead fish and consider it a good date with Madoka.

[[folder Kyubey]]

[[folder: In General]]

** Madoka is attracted to women, as is her mother whose bisexual.

[[folder: Homura Akemi]]

* CultureBlind: Homura knows very little pop culture, barely knowing what ''Star Wars'' is and having no idea what Sute's 'Shonen Manga' powers even are or what Sayaka meant in one timeline when she believed Homura to be a pod person. She's also the only one of the four talking who don't know anything about Alina Gray's art, something ''Yuma'' has heard of. She's more aware of Marvel comics, but that is seemingly due to dealing with a comicbook-themed Witch regularly. She does get a crash course in Shonen Manga from Sayaka after fighting Sute, enough to [[ItMakesSenseInContext to correct Sayaka that she's a Genin, not a Chunnin.]]

* UnknownRival: To Oriko and Kirika, as Homura, due to her experiences with Oriko in the various time loops where she's trying to kill Madoka has her registered as a priority target to eliminate to keep Madoka safe, which she's only putting off for now because Oriko is far away and currently commanding an army of Magical Girls that could seek vengeance. In this timeline, as Oriko's plans implicitly involve keeping the Mitakihara gang ''alive'', Oriko is confused on why her visions show her any attempt to directly speak with Madoka or Homura at the current time will end with her or Kirika shot.

[[folder: Madoka Kaname]]

* AllLovingHero: Madoka has a nearly infinite well of kindness and love for her friends, Soulmates, and everyone around her. Even [[spoiler: Candeloro and Homulilly]]. The only exception seems to be Akasuki, leaving Madoka's line at mass murderers [[spoiler: who kidnap her friends]].

[[folder: Mami Tomoe]]

* GodzillaThreshold: Mami generally avoids abusing her tendency to end school with gas leaks to only deal with Witch attacks. She never outright proactively cancels school. [[spoiler: She does when she realizes The Griefer has kidnapped Hitomi and they can't find her in a day.]] This is also the only reason she, or the others, tell Sayaka about this trend.

[[folder: Sayaka Miki]]

* GreenEyedMonster: {{Downplayed}}, but Sayaka finds herself increasingly put out upon realization that despite being Madoka's best friend and protector for most of their lives, she's now at best "second-place" in Madoka's life to her two Soulmates Mami and Homura, who can understand her on an even deeper level and are two veteran magical warriors more than capable of keeping her safe. She's beyond overjoyed when this no longer applies when she also becomes Madoka's Soulmate.

[[folder: Kyoko Sakura]]

[[folder: Hitomi Shizuki]]

* AbusiveParents: Downplayed, but Sayaka outright says they are the worst of their parents for a reason, and they basically [[spoiler: are the only ones to blame Hitomi for being kidnapped]].
* ArmoredClosetGay: Homura notes in some timelines that, despite how flustered girls loving girls can make Hitomi sometimes, Hitomi is not straight. This doesn't seem to be the case in all timelines, including the current one.
* BadassBookworm: Between her and her friends she gets the best grades despite her lack of time to study, and even considers [[spoiler: using a wish by Kyubey]] to get her parents to stop pressuring her into more high society classes to study more. When [[spoiler: she contracts and becomes a Magical Girl]], it doesn't take her long to figure out [[spoiler: how to essentially weaponize vacuums]].
* BadassInDistress: [[spoiler: After contracting, Hitomi gains the power of teleportation, up to and including the power to strike enemies with the fundamental forces of nature by exploiting vacuums.]] Unfortunately for her [[spoiler: she trusted a serial killer with mind control powers]] and ends Chapter 11 in a bad place. Chapter 13 [[spoiler: sees her rescued from this place.]]
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Hitomi wanted her parents to lay off the extracurriculars, and they did. [[spoiler: Because they are absolutely furious with her for being kidnapped, clearly against her will, and vanishing with a large amount of unrecoverable money for two days.]]

* FightingYourFriend: [[spoiler: Akasuki forces her to try to kill Madoka and Sayaka, and ultimately ends up fighting Madoka's Soulmate Homura.]]

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

* StressVomit: [[spoiler: Becoming a Magical Girl caused her to vomit up her dinner.]]
* TheUnreveal: While Homura has seen her Witch form in past timelines and [[spoiler: Hitomi does hear it talk to her in chapter 13]], ultimately what sort of Witch Hitomi would become is unseen and unspecified. The name of the Witch is known however, being Coppelia.
* UnwittingMuggleFriend: Following Sayaka becoming a secret keeper, she becomes this [[spoiler: until the end of chapter 10.]]
* WeakButSkilled: After Homura, she has the lowest raw magical power of the Mitakihara Middle School girls, and as such Kyubey often ignores her. [[spoiler: When contracted she gains the power to strike her targets with something approximating a ''vacuum bomb'' with only moderate experimentation with her teleportation powers and is so dangerous if she was to try and kill someone that Homura is best suited to handle her powers safely.]]

* YouAreGrounded: [[spoiler: Her parents basically put her under lockdown after she's rescued from Akasuki, blaming her for being kidnapped.]]

* BerserkButton: The Uwasa of the Seance Shrine infuriates her due to playing with peoples’ emotions like how she did with her wish. [[spoiler: Bella Donna agreed]].

[[folder: Ren Isuzu]]

* AchievementsInIgnorance: While transformed and completely out of her mind, Ren managed to set Rika up for [[spoiler: being able to merge with Bella Donna into a super mode]]. This was not intentional, and the required circumstances are ones that may not be able to be replicated.

* ShrinkingViolet: Naturally quiet and nervous, even after a fair bit of work by Rika and her own experiences as a Magical Girl. Hinano outright uses her as a 'canary in the coal mine' as a result, as if she's not being scared by something, [[spoiler: like her Soulmate's fusion with Bella Donna]], then it can't be as bad as it might seem at first glance.

* FalseReassurance: During Mami's confrontation with him after [[spoiler: Hitomi's kidnapping]], one of the statements he uses to butter Mami up is her saving of Michiru Kazusa and in turn her inspiring of other girls, telling her that 'when anyone speaks about Asurano City and its Magical Girls, that is all because of you saving a single girl’s life'. Given that the Pleiades Saints are considered TheDreaded, this is far less of a compliment as it seems at first glance and is more like Kyubey just planting seeds of distress to use later.

[[folder: Akasuki Suzumebachi]]

* VillainsWantMercy: Pulls this with [[spoiler: Mami]] when confronted, which quickly turns into a desperate [[spoiler:BreakThemByTalking moment]] as a last-ditch effort. At best this gets her a few more seconds [[spoiler:before Mami [[DeliberateInjuryGambit makes sure she can't hear]], and then makes sure Akasuki can't talk at all ever again]].

[[folder: Alina Gray]]

[[folder: Oriko Mikuni]]

[[folder: Kirika Kure]]
A somewhat strange girl who in many timelines is Oriko's partner in crime, utterly devoted to her as the Black Magical Girl and someone who Homura prefers to kill on sight. This time around she's Oriko's Soulmate and her own personal enforcer.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Things didn't go as badly for her and the other canonical members of Folklore of Zero in Yukuni, thanks to the existence of Soulbonds meaning magic in general was more accepted.

[[folder: The Uwasa of The Kamihama Monster Sightings]]

[[folder: The Uwasa of The Friendship Ending Staircase]]

[[folder: The Uwasa of The Seance Shrine]]

* StartOfDarkness: WordOfGod implies she probably overworked herself to a point of corrupting her Soul Gem.

Th Box Witch. A Witch who takes the form of a flying television with wings, Kirsten is one of the Witches who Homura has learned the origin and name of, but is too late to do anything about.

* {{Expy}}: Suzumebachi has a very similar powerset to the Oriko character Sasa Yuuki, both being able to control other Magical Girls and Witches and being manipulator characters without raw power of her own. If anything, Suzumebachi is the sort of character that Sasa could become if allowed to run around for decades. As Homura does mention Sasa, it may be a case of ExpyCoexistence between the two.

* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Membership of the Magius in the story have greatly expanded from their canonical ranks to include Oriko, Kirika, Yuuri, Arisa, Himena, and Alexandra, the latter two in canon joined the Neo-Magius first.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Its a group out to save Magical Girls from becoming Witches, but innocent people are hurt as part of their plans and the group is prone to cult-like methods of seeking this goal out.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Among the Magius, Oriko describes her as the nicest and most normal.

* TheStarscream: Attempted to take over the Wings of the Magius through brainwashing.

* TheUnreveal: While Homura has seen her Witch form in past timelines and [[spoiler: Hitomi does hear it talk to her in chapter 13]], ultimately what sort of Witch Hitomi would become is unseen and unspecified.

[[folder:Walpurgisnacht]]
The Stage-constructing Witch. A massive Witch known as a living disaster that comes to Mitakihara at the end of Homura's timeloops. Though in the current timeline it may have different origins....

* AlternateSelf: While there is always a Walpurgisnacht at the end of a time loop, this one seems to be different than the past ones that Homura has dealt with [[spoiler: given its ties to Soulbonds that did not exist originally.]]
* EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler: In this timeline, a Walpurgisnacht is the result of a Soulbond of Magical Girls becoming Witches, making it one to any Soulbonded group of Magical Girls.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: With Kyubey as the overarching and broad looming threat, Walpurgisnacht is more of a looming natural disaster that is coming and cannot be avoided. Only prepared for.
* HeroKiller: It has killed many, many versions of Madoka, Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko, as well as the odd other Magical Girl like Komaki and Hitomi.
* LegacyCharacter: There have been a few Witches with the title of Walpurgisnacht over the years, each a living disaster like the previous.
* NotSoInvincibleAfterAll: For all of Walpurgisnacht's nigh-apocalyptic power, Homura has managed to beat her at least twice throughout the timeloops with the help of other Magical Girls. [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu Unfortunately]], Homura has usually been the SoleSurvivor of such a showdown with maybe one other Magical Girl with her, and never in such a manner she could call it a PyrrhicVictory worth having. Homura's current plan in this final timeline is to either train up the Mitakihara gang for an EverybodyLives ending [[spoiler:or pray Walpurgisnacht goes to Kamihama so the Wings of the Magius can kill her through raw power or sheer number of bodies to throw at her.]]
* RomanticFusion: [[spoiler:A very dark example. A Walpurgisnacht is the result of the Witches of Soulbonded Magical Girls merging into a single cataclysmic entity. Given the fact said Magical Girls would be in romantic relationships, and how Candeloro expresses more than once the desire to join with Homulilly and Gretchen until they're no longer separated and they can't even tell where one ends and the others begin, it's clear the mutual love is still there, albeit heavily twisted in madness and despair.]]

!!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.

* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Membership of the Magius in the story have greatly expanded from their canonical ranks to include Oriko, Kirika, Yuuri, Arisa, and Himena, who in canon joined the Neo-Magius first.

* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: She's had to deal with so many horrible things in the timelines that not a lot really makes her flinch. She's noticeably more annoyed at Mami and Madoka seeing the memory of her losing an arm to Charlotte because of them seeing her past mistake than the memory of losing an arm which she barely reacts to (especially compared to her past self, w7thho did not take the lost arm well at all.)

* NoSell: They were able to cancel out Sasa Yuuki's attempts to [[BrainwashedAndCrazy control them]].

!! The Uwasa

[[folder: The Uwasa of The Kamihama Monster Sightings]]
The first Uwasa encountered by Yachiyo and thus the first hint of something being off in Kamihama. It turned Kanagi, Ren, Meiyui, Karin, Hazuki, and possibly others into monsters before being destroyed by Yachiyo, Kanae, and Mel.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The Witch the Uwasa was based off of appeared in Act 2, while the Uwasa version appeared before the events of Act 1 in Soulmate.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: This Uwasa is the story's version of a Witch that turned Kanagi into a vampire during the ''Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funerals ~ The Living are Bewildered, the Dead Are Silent '' event.
* SmallRoleBigImpact:
** Despite not appearing in person, the Uwasa's attacks on multiple teams in Kamihama became a major reason for the Magical Girls of the city to unite faster than in canon, and drew Yachiyo out of her isolation.
** Its turning of Ren into a Succubus would, by chance, lead to [[spoiler: Rika gaining a fusion mode with Bella Donna]].

[[folder: The Uwasa of The Friendship Ending Staircase]]
The first Uwasa encountered by Iroha and Momoko's team, entirely offscreen.

* KilledOffscreen: Defeated similarly to canon unseen.

[[folder: The Uwasa of The Seance Shrine]]
A Uwasa who was attached to a shrine, it lured people in who sought to find those they loved and trapped them. Vulnerable only to curses, Magical Girls struggled against it.

* HealingFactor: It can heal off practically anything a Magical Girl can do to it.
* NoSell: Being a wish-based creation, Magical Girls struggled to kill it. [[spoiler: A Magical Girl fused with her Witch had no such trouble]].

* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: She's had to deal with so many horrible things in the timelines that not a lot really makes her flinch. She's noticeably more annoyed at Mami and Madoka seeing the memory of her losing an arm to Charlotte because of them seeing her past mistake than the memory of losing an arm which she barely reacts to (especially compared to her past self, who did not take the lost arm well at all.)

* DyingDeclarationOfHate: One of the core members gives one to the leadership of Kamihama as she expects to die. [[spoiler: Though instead she doppels]]

* TheGhost: Has not appeared in person yet, but is mentioned or referenced by Oriko and Kyoko at several points. Her voice is heard during Chapter 3, coordinating how to handle an impending Soul Seizure Nemu was about to have.
