13
14	%%* AntiMagic: In Kyubey's words, she has the power to repel and reject magic.
15	%%* ApocalypseMaiden: Overlaps with...
16	%%* BarrierMaiden: She and Tsukasa are the "multiversal focal points" that hold all universes together.

19	%%* NamedWeapons: [[MeaningfulName Kurokami]], her katana, named after the color of Homura's hair.
20	* {{Tsundere}}: As Konata puts it in her [[{{Troll}} inimitable manner]], "You're ''deredere'' for Akemi and ''tsuntsun'' for me, huh?"
21	--> '''Kagami''': ''[[IresembleThatRemark Shut up!]]''
22	* PowerGivesYouWings: The shadows of black feathered wings emerge from her back when she's seriously pissed off. Her Star form makes the wings solid, with points of starlight.
23	%%* StarCrossedLovers: With Homura, after the latter dies.
24	* WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter: After joining the kendo club, she starts using a white oak ''bokken'' to help fight Demons. Until it gets broken... She replaces it later with a real one in her Star form.
25
26	%% !!Tsukasa Hiiragi%%/[[spoiler: Star Black]]
27
28	%%* AntiMagic:
29	%%** In a different way than Kagami's AntiMagic - rather than nullify magic, she can absorb it like a magnet.

31	%%* BarrierMaiden

45
46	!!Miyuki Takara%%/[[spoiler: Star Pink]]

50	* NamedWeapons: Heshioru, a magic book that links to her glasses and transforms into a hammer.
51	* TheSmartGuy: This figures into her Star powers: her book and glasses can gather and display the information that she collects from multiple sources.
52	%%* WhiteMage: What she crafted her Star outfit after... though Konata points out that her actual powers are more in line with a RedMage.
53
54	%%!!Homura Akemi
55	%%The 2007 version of Homura. Kagami visits her after the future Homura dies, in order to cure her illness.

64
65	The Puellae Magi, [[MagicalGirl Magical Girls]] from a parallel universe set two years after Madoka's [[AbstractApotheosis ascension]]. Most of them were killed during the war with Vittoria. Kyubey is listed here too, of course.
66
67	!!Homura Akemi/[[spoiler: Star Violet]]
68
69	%%* AloofDarkHairedGirl: At first.
70	* BrokenBird: The events of her past haven't been kind at all to her emotional state. Being raped by the Second has only made things worse, though Kagami is helping her recover.
71	* DarkMagicalGirl: Very much so. She's willing to use extreme measures to protect Kagami, [[spoiler:even breaking her heart.]]
72	%%* DarkAndTroubledPast
73	* DefrostingIceQueen: Being around Kagami brings out her ''deredere'' side. Awww.
74	* HeroicSacrifice: Refuses to let Kagami contract to spare her from a FateWorseThanDeath, knowing full well she'll die otherwise from Soul Gem corruption.
75	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Her motivation for rejecting Kagami, and then for stopping Kagami from making a wish to save her, knowing full well she will die without it.
76	* MyGreatestFailure: She blames herself for failing to MercyKill her universe's Kagami when she had the chance, and thinks of all the death and suffering that followed as her fault. [[BreakThemByTalking The Second]] takes full advantage of this.

78	* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: Her mission this time is to prevent the catastrophe that befell her world from ever happening again.
79	%%* StarCrossedLovers: With Madoka first, and then Kagami after she herself dies.

81
82	!!Kyubey
83
84	* BlueAndOrangeMorality: As is typical of his species. However, he seems to be showing more human traits, possibly as a result of all the time spent around Homura and the disaster his old world suffered through.
85	* HowDareYouDieOnMe: Says this in his own way when Homura is about to die from Soul Gem corruption, pressuring her to let Kagami contract.
86	* LackOfEmpathy: As expected from Kyubey, of all people. However, it's clear he 'cares', in some form, for Homura, and tries to convince her to let Kagami wish her back to life to no avail.
87	* LastOfHisKind: He was left behind when the other Incubators abandoned Earth, and is the only one of his species in the Lucky Star universe.
88	* WeaselMascot: Konata calls him a "fairy", [[SpitTake leading Homura to choke on her drink.]]
89
90	!!Oriko Mikuni
91
92	%%* SupportingLeader: She brought all of the Puellae Magi together, uniting them for a greater cause.
93	* TookALevelInKindness: Because Kriemhild Gretchen can no longer exist in the new world, Oriko is less of a WellIntentionedExtremist and is now almost completely heroic.
94	* VisionsOfAnotherSelf: In her dreams, she saw her [[Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica villainous self]] in the other timelines that Homura went through.

However, as she died, she spread her essence throughout TheMultiverse, spawning Demons in universes without magical girls to protect them. She is the one that birthed the Nine.

166
167	%%The Demon of Lust. A shapeshifter with an affinity for mirrors. [[spoiler:She traps Miyuki inside the lens of her glasses and impersonates her for most of the story, seducing Tsukasa in order to feed on her Heart. Her true form is a catlike ''thing'' made of tongues and eyes. After accidentally reading the mind of the Ninth and discovering his true murderous intentions, she set in place an elaborate plan to replace herself with one of her Spawn and fake her own death... only to return and kill the Ninth when everyone least expected it.]]
