| 6 | |
| 7 | [[folder:In General]] |
| 8 | |
| 9 | * ActionGirl: Everyone. |
| 10 | * AgeIsRelative: Literally, for the Magical Girls. Yuma is both the oldest- and youngest-looking of the Mitakihara Four at different points of their existence. |
| 11 | * AmazonBrigade |
| 12 | * AmazonChaser: Magical Girls are considered quite the catch. Immediately after making a contract, Ryouko is deluged with marriage proposal letters from people she doesn't even know. |
| 13 | * BadassAdorable: The ones that choose to remain as kids. Others take a more adult appearance. |
| 14 | * BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: And so can Magical Girls! Though not without burning magic, so spacesuits are still preferable. |
| 15 | * BattleBallgown: Magical Girls tend to get these. |
| 16 | * ChildSoldiers: The good kind, generally. |
| 17 | * CombatClairvoyance: One explanation for FTL combat-reflexes |
| 18 | * ChunkySalsaRule: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Magical Girls can apparently regenerate from just a soul gem, but doing so uses a lot of magic and requires many Grief Cubes, [[spoiler: so each MG has a clone of them made in case her body is destroyed, making thing easier and less magic consuming.]] |
| 19 | * DemonSlaying: The Magical Girl equivalent of gold farming. It's traditional for ''all'' Magical Girls to take part in at least one a year. |
| 20 | * DontThinkFeel: Magical Girls fight by instinct. |
| 21 | * EmancipatedChild: All girls are considered legal adults the moment they're registered. |
| 22 | * EveryoneHasASpecialMove: But of course. |
| 23 | * FaceMonsterTurn: [[AvertedTrope Averted]]. Thanks, Madoka! |
| 24 | * GoodThingYouCanHeal: Played with; even though Magical Girls heal quickly, injured girls usually receive standard medical treatment or, for more severe injuries, attention from a healer. |
| 25 | * HealingFactor: Some more than others. |
| 26 | * ImaginationBasedSuperpower: Besides raw power, Magical Girls' powers are limited only by imagination. |
| 27 | * {{Immortality}} |
| 28 | * ImprovFu: Magical Girls are instructed to make up new stuff in combat, since that's how they develop and expand their powers. |
| 29 | * InASingleBound: Acrophobia is nonexistent. |
| 30 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Most Magical Girls have some serious hero worship going on for the Mitakihara Four, or Clarisse van Rossum. |
| 31 | * [[OurLichesAreDifferent Our Liches Are Cute Girls]]: But of course. |
| 32 | * MagicAndPowers: Vary from magical girl to magical girl, as it depends on who they are and what they wished for. |
| 33 | * MagicalGirl: Obvious trope is obvious. |
| 34 | * MildlyMilitary: Magical Girls are all commissioned officers with all the benefits and responsibilities that entails, but most elements of military discipline aren't enforced at all. Those that are practiced were for the most part already established before the [[BrokenMasquerade Masquerade fell]]. |
| 35 | * MilitarySuperhero |
| 36 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: What happens when a magical girl goes over her limit and succumbs to TheCorruption, resulting in becoming DeaderThanDead. [[spoiler: Of course, this is vastly preferable to [[AndThenJohnWasAZombie the way it used to work]] before the Goddess changed things]]. |
| 37 | * OlderIsBetter: The most revered Magical Girls are called 'the Ancients', much to their chagrin. |
| 38 | * StrongerWithAge: Although it is a very slow process. |
| 39 | * SuperSenses |
| 40 | * SuperStrength |
| 41 | * {{Telepathy}} |
| 42 | * TouchedByVorlons: Unexplainable powers bestowed by a race of SufficientlyAdvancedAliens? Check! |

| 46 | [[folder:Protagonists]] |
| 47 | |
| 48 | !!'''Ryouko Shizuki''' |
| 49 | |
| 50 | ->''"I hope I never have to see any of my friends die. Or anyone, really."'' |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Ryouko is a charmingly normal girl who happens to have a problem: everyone else is happy, but she isn't. While her classmates are fine living for the sake of living, Ryouko can't overcome that existential certainty that there has to be more to life. Naturally, she finds it as she contracts after a Demon attack. [[spoiler: It turns out that Ryouko is intricately woven into the histories and power structures of the Magical Girls, both modern and ancient, and that her ability may be something beyond anyone's imagination.]] Where this will lead her is anyone's guess, as is [[MindScrew how it came about to begin with]]. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | ---- |
| 55 | * ACupAngst |
| 56 | * AlphaStrike: Ryouko's Arbalest is capable of this. |
| 57 | * TheApprentice: To Mami ''and'' Kyouko. |
| 58 | * AudienceSurrogate: We learn much about the setting as Ryouko herself discovers it. |
| 59 | * BioAugmentation: [[spoiler:Turns out that she is an heavily altered chimera (in scientific terms) with entire gene-networks of deviations located in her brain that's tasked to do... [[NothingIsScarier something]]. Not even Yuma, the defacto "Big Sister" of all things concerning MSY, has any idea what to make of it.]] |
| 60 | * BloodKnight: According to Kyouko. [[spoiler:Her assessment at the end of Ch 19 shows that she still is one, and this bears fruit in Ch 26, when she breaks mission protocol in order to punch an armoured alien to death with her bare hands.]] |
| 61 | * CelebrityIsOverrated: Her being a part of two powerful matriarchies gives her unwanted fame, [[spoiler:And with her becoming the "Hero of Orpheus" her [=MagOps=] teammate Ying-zhi, who was in a similar situation in the past, warns her that it is about to get worse.]] |
| 62 | * ChasteHero: She doesn't seem very interested in romance at all, and gets incredibly flustered whenever anybody brings it up. |
| 63 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: She's very quick to assume that things are exactly how they seem, at least up to the point where she has a reason to doubt. |
| 64 | * ComingOfAgeStory: Seems to be hers. |
| 65 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: So far, two girls who actually know her have admitted, either to her or to someone else, to having crushes on her. |
| 66 | * HeroicSacrifice: Ryouko tries to save Simona with this. [[spoiler:Later on it's noted she still attempts it in simulations, causing her effectiveness as a front line soldier to be questioned.]] |
| 67 | * IJustWantToBeSpecial: The unstated intent which was, to a certain extent, backing up her wish. [[spoiler: Funny how she turns out to have been special all along, once she makes the wish.]] |
| 68 | * ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: [[spoiler:Tries to pull it on Asami after an assassination attempt left the latter heavily injured, but Asami refuses, even stating that she wants to accompany her in her next mission so they can watch each other's back.]] |
| 69 | * JumpedAtTheCall: [[ForegoneConclusion There was never really any doubt what her choice would be.]] |
| 70 | * LockedOutOfTheLoop: Regarding just about everything. |
| 71 | * LongRangeFighter: A Type II. It would be Type III, but her teleportation requires her to jump into the thick of things fairly often, and she isn't helpless at close-range either. |
| 72 | * MissionFromGod: [[spoiler:Hinted at in her first encounter with Madoka, and then made more explicit in Chapter 29.]] |
| 73 | * MirthlessLaughter: After a nearly a month of constant stress, topped with the news [[spoiler:of her parent's divorce]], seeing Asami alive and relatively well made her laugh of relief. |
| 74 | * MouthyKid: Possibly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]; while her parents do come off worse at first, there might be more there [[HiddenDepths than meets the eye]]. |
| 75 | * NaiveNewcomer: Ryouko went into battle a mere few weeks after contracting (even greener than usual for new recruits). Compare to the many magical girls who have been around for literal ''centuries''. |
| 76 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: [[spoiler:When beating up the alien sniper, that just killed her teammate, to death]]. |
| 77 | * NoSenseOfHumor: She completely fails to get any joke, although she's able to crack one occasionally (see MirthlessLaughter above) |
| 78 | * NoSocialSkills: A borderline case; she spends time with a select few friends who aren't constantly bringing up her future. |
| 79 | * ObliviousToLove: Unless someone explicitly tells that someone loves her, she will simply not get even the unsubtle hints. [[spoiler:And then Asami confessed to her in Chapter 21.]] |
| 80 | * OpenMouthInsertFoot: Ryouko often finds herself doing this, mostly because of her family's complex emotional situation and her future-oriented personality. |
| 81 | * RainOfArrows: Ryouko's primary attack. |
| 82 | * RankUp: [[spoiler:Gets promoted to First Lieutenant after leading the defense against the alien fighters that was raiding her training cohort's transport ship, and a second time to Captain after her actions in the wormhole mission during the battle of Orpheus.]] |
| 83 | * RedBaron: "The Hero of Orpheus", gained [[spoiler:after she banished the cloaked alien fleet back through the wormhole at the battle of Orpheus, saving the human fleet and probably all of mankind.]] |
| 84 | * ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Started telling this to Asami, but stopped at half point before going into the MirthlessLaughter of relief. |
| 85 | * SecretLegacy: Two of them, in fact. [[spoiler:With a third one making her a great-great-grandniece of Madoka.]] |
| 86 | * TeleFrag: One of her favorite abilities is to combine [[TrickArrow Trick Arrows]] attached to strings with her teleportation to move herself and only ''part'' of her enemies, leaving the target with a big chunk missing. |
| 87 | * TeleportationWithDrawbacks: Has the longest range of any teleporter in existence at 200km, but she needs some grief cubes immediately and is out of commission for some time afterwards. She is limited in that she can only teleport what she's touching and in order to teleport other objects, she has to teleport herself with them. Arrows shot by her arbalest are considered part of her if she chooses to attach strings to them, allowing her to teleport things "remotely". While she can "touch" targets through the ground, it takes extra focus and power usage...and brings a layer of dirt along for the ride. |
| 88 | * ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: Right around the time she becomes the longest-range teleporter by a huge margin, it turns out the military desperately needs someone like her for a critical mission. [[IJustWantToBeSpecial Her wish probably invoked this.]] [[spoiler:The trope really hits hard after the collapsing wormhole amplifies her unique power, and lets her save the day by dumping the enemy reserve fleet back through the wormhole.]] |
| 89 | * TrickArrow: She can generate arrows that explode, as well as arrows attached to strings that let her take her targets with her when she teleports. It didn't take her long after receiving her powers to further weaponize the latter type. |
| 90 | * TokenMiniMoe: Easily the youngest-looking member of her class. |
| 91 | * WikiWalk: She explores the Directorate military with these. |
| 92 | |
| 93 | |
| 94 | !!'''Mami Tomoe''' |
| 95 | |
| 96 | -> ''"You know, we talk about being heroes and such, but I had no idea it was so tiring."'' |
| 97 | |
| 98 | ---- |
| 99 | * AlwaysOnDuty: Out of necessity; her position as the Field Marshal in charge of an entire sector means that she rarely gets time to herself.[[spoiler: And now that she has been elected Chief of the General Staff, putting her in charge of ''all of mankind's military'', she'll probably have even less spare time.]] |
| 100 | * AMillionIsAStatistic: [[AvertedTrope Not for Mami]], it isn't. No matter how many soldiers she sends out to die, she grieves for all of them. According to [[spoiler:the Goddess]], this is why she's such a well-respected officer. [[DeconstructedTrope Unfortunately]], it comes at the price of constant guilt-ridden nightmares. |
| 101 | * BeneathTheMask: Mami's smiling public persona covers a more jaded and angsty side. |
| 102 | * BerserkButton: Mami ''hates'' Oriko for destroying her apartment with the [[TragicKeepsake few belongings from her parents she still had]], and as a result absolutely refuse to see any ambiguity in Oriko's action, seeing her only as an insane monster and [[ItsPersonal wanting her death and to be the one to deliver it]], which is very at odds with her usual level-headed and diplomatic personality. She stills holds the same beliefs four centuries and half later. |
| 103 | * BrokenAce: The pressure of being a Field Marshal [[spoiler:and later Chief of General Staff, as well as the various shady businesses of questionable morality she had to do as an Executive of the MSY and leader of the Soul Guard during the past centuries]] put a lot of strain and guilt on her conscience. [[spoiler:Chapter 18 reveals that she has recurrent nightmares of the people she felt she has failed and wronged in the past, and she mentions in chapter 30 that they are recently getting worse, to the point that she seriously ponders to seek a MHD shrink.]] |
| 104 | * CallingYourAttacks: Mami is somewhat infamous for this. |
| 105 | * ChefOfIron: Mami's specialties include cooking and saving humanity from an alien menace. |
| 106 | * {{Deuteragonist}} |
| 107 | * FlashbackNightmare: She suffers recurrent ones as a consequence of her self-deprecation and the stress of being Field Marshall [[spoiler: and later Chief of General Staff]]. Said nightmares makes her repeat her worst failures and darkest acts during the past four hundred centuries, such as her inability to save Sayaka or the things she had to do when she was the leader of the Soul Guard [[spoiler: as well as flash-backs of her memories that were erased by Reformat]]. |
| 108 | * FirstNameBasis: With the entire world. Everyone calls her Mami-san, eschewing the more typical Tomoe-san. |
| 109 | * FlatEarthAtheist: Mami is very close to this, having seen [[spoiler:Homura's black soul gem]]. |
| 110 | * FourStarBadass: The highest-ranking Magical Girl in the military. [[spoiler:And since her election as Chief of General Staff in chapter 30, she's the highest-ranking member of the entire military.]] |
| 111 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: She is the de facto leader of all the Magical Girls [[spoiler:since Homura's disappearance]], one of the highest-ranking military of mankind [[spoiler:and ''the'' highest ranking one since chapter 30]], helped obtain important victories against the aliens that saved humanity from assured extermination, and is a source of inspiration for all the Magical Girls and girls aspiring to be one, yet deep down she's a mess of doubts and self-loathing, fearing that she might not be up to the task and able to deal with the pressure put on her shoulders, [[spoiler: as well as feeling tremendous guilt for all the amoral things she had to do in the past to protect the Magical Girls while the masquerade was still in place]], and how presently she has to inspire young girls into a life of fighting as Magical Girls to help with the war effort. |
| 112 | * HopeIsScary: Mami refuses to even consider anything having to do with the Cult of Hope, despite her inability to reject its claims. |
| 113 | * HunterOfMonsters: While leading the Soul Guard. |
| 114 | * InHarmsWay: Despite having a top-level field-grade military post, Mami and her personal companions are frequently on the front lines. |
| 115 | * ItGetsEasier: As a result of centuries of leading MSY, including its black ops. [[spoiler:When she finds out the truth about witches, Homura remarks how she handled it better with decades unders her belt. And centuries laters when she re-discovers the truth by regaining sealed memories, she finds it unsettling that that it got even more easier.]] |
| 116 | * KingIncognito: Attends a showing of ''Akemi'' as "Hiroko Chito" to avoid attention. |
| 117 | * TheKirk: Midway between Kyouko's id and Homura's superego. |
| 118 | * LadyOfWar |
| 119 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:It's heavily implied - and in chapter 50, explicitly confirmed - that she underwent a Reformat somewhere in the past, which made her forget certain events of her past, notably her training to develop mind-reading powers. She still has [[FlashbackNightmare recurrent dreams]] of these events.]] |
| 120 | * LastNameBasis: As in the original series, she continues to call everyone by their last name, even those that she has known for centuries! It's a sign of the emotional wall she still puts between herself and other people. The only person she calls by her first name is Oriko, showing all the hate and contempt she feels for her even centuries after her death. [[spoiler:She started to try to correct that habit after accidentally picking from Marianne's mind that she finds it really hurtful.]] |
| 121 | * MaryTzu: Mami [[InvokedTrope notices]] that her tactical deployments on New Athens were falsely portrayed as flawless in ''Akemi'', despite her lack of prior military training or experience. |
| 122 | * MST3KMantra: Mami [[InvokedTrope invokes]] this while watching ''Akemi''. |
| 123 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:On the anti-MSY magical girls who shot down the airplane that she and her lover Akari were on, and for indirectly causing her to discover about the witching, which made Akari's death worse, thus making the revenge even worse for the anti-MSY girls.]] |
| 124 | * RobotBuddy: Machina, her AI attendant. |
| 125 | * ShellShockSilence: Mami experiences this during the [[spoiler: initial battle where magical girls aided the military in fighting the aliens]] |
| 126 | * {{Telepathy}}: [[spoiler:Developed limited mind-reading abilities along the years, [[BlessedWithSuck but she can't control them very well.]]]] |
| 127 | * ThisMeansWar: After Oriko's gang trashed her apartment. |
| 128 | |
| 129 | |
| 130 | !!'''Kyouko Sakura''' |
| 131 | |
| 132 | -> ''"I want to know that I fight for something. Maybe, finally, I've found it."'' |
| 133 | |
| 134 | ---- |
| 135 | * BadassPreacher: Boy howdy, Kyouko! |
| 136 | * ChurchMilitant: The prime example. |
| 137 | * DeadpanSnarker: Kyouko |
| 138 | * {{Delinquent}}: They may be an extinct breed, but Kyouko maintains some of the mannerisms. |
| 139 | * DoppelgangerSpin: Her projections are insubstantial decoys. |
| 140 | * TheFace: Oddly enough, Kyouko was the most charismatic member of the Mitakihara Four. |
| 141 | * FanServicePack: [[MostCommonSuperpower A slight touch-up]] in ''Akemi''. |
| 142 | * AFatherToHisMen: Kyouko is very close to her subordinates. [[spoiler:Sometimes, maybe a little ''too'' close.]] |
| 143 | * FourStarBadass: A Lieutenant General. |
| 144 | * FieryRedhead |
| 145 | * HeartbrokenBadass: Kyouko hasn't gotten over Sayaka in over four hundred years. |
| 146 | * HighPriest |
| 147 | * TheLostLenore: [[PosthumousCharacter Sayaka]], Kyouko's FirstLove. |
| 148 | * UsefulNotes/JapaneseChristian: At first. Now... less so. |
| 149 | * LovingAShadow: [[spoiler:With Maki Kishida, who looks like and is just as strong headed as Sayaka. Didn't work out.]] |
| 150 | * MasterOfIllusion |
| 151 | * MayDecemberRomance: [[spoiler:With Maki. Kyouko is somewhat notorious for this behavior, and mentally notes that something about being as old as she is makes seducing the younger girls easy.]] |
| 152 | * TheMcCoy: Of the original trio, Kyouko was the one most influenced by her desires. |
| 153 | * MomentOfWeakness: [[spoiler:Following the stressful events of X-25 colony that pushed way too many of her buttons, she got heavily introspective of her life and decided to go into deep prayer to calm down, in only recently captured enemy territory, which nearly got her assassinated if not for Ryouko.]] |
| 154 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Apples, one of which she even uses as a prop in one of her sermons. |
| 155 | * OralFixation: Yuma knows she's out-of-sorts when she arrives [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness without food]]. |
| 156 | * ReallyGetsAround: Kyouko, in her 'hedonist' period and still has some of its trace even after all these years. It's said to be a 'species-wide joke'. It's mostly because of heartbreak over Sayaka's death, and [[spoiler:[[LovingAShadow even her current lover is]] [[ReplacementGoldfish physically similar with Sayaka.]]]] |
| 157 | * ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Over 400, but she looks 14. |
| 158 | * RecruitersAlwaysLie: Strictly speaking, Kyouko wasn't the actual recruiter. Also, she only lied [[spoiler:to Ryouko's parents]]. |
| 159 | * SexGoddess: She even wrote a book of tips! |
| 160 | * TragicKeepsake: Kyouko still has a picture of Sayaka. |
| 161 | * {{Tritagonist}} |
| 162 | * YouKilledMyFather: Kyouko's sentiment against the main body Church, because their excommunication was the thing that had driven her father into PaterFamilicide. She's silently spitting at them as they, still too proud to beg, "melding" the Cult into themselves and saying that the Cult is a lost lamb that they have to "call back". |

| 172 | |
| 173 | ---- |
| 174 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Her regular ramblings and mumblings to herself about a Goddess and a "previous Universe" make her pass as subtly insane by the people around her, [[BunnyEarsLawyer but that didn't interfere in her skills as the MSY's First Executive or her battle prowess]]. [[spoiler: At least until the battle of New Athens, where her surviving her soul gem fading to black made people start to believe what she said about the Goddess, and even spawned an official Cult! Unfortunately, Homura herself didn't take the "miracle" [[DespairEventHorizon nearly]] [[SanitySlippage as well]]...]] |
| 175 | * DeathSeeker: Possibly. |
| 176 | * DivineDate: [[spoiler:Averted]] for her. |
| 177 | * FanServicePack: In her eponymous holomovie. |
| 178 | * GameBreaker: Homura's aura allowed other Magical Girls to use their powers more freely; both Mami and [[spoiler:Oriko]] [[InvokedTrope peg her]] as being incredibly powerful. |
| 179 | * TheGadfly: Not as much as Yuma, but Homura gets in on the action every now and then. |
| 180 | * GoodWingsEvilWings: Both. |
| 181 | * GunNut: A trait she conserved from the pre-Madoka universe. |
| 182 | * HeartbrokenBadass: A subtle example. [[spoiler:Later, she becomes much less subtle.]] |
| 183 | * HeavenSeeker: Homura's ultimate goal. [[spoiler:When she learns she can't die, she [[HeroicBSOD doesn't]] [[UnstoppableRage take it]] [[SaveTheDayTurnAway well at all.]]]] |
| 184 | * InSeriesNickname: Her white wings lead to her being called "The Angel" in hushed tones. |
| 185 | * LongRangeFighter: Type II. She's an archer and a flier, but by no means does that make her deficient in close combat. |
| 186 | * MessianicArchetype: Even though the Cult of Hope only recognizes her as a ''prophet'', the nebulous nature of their actual goddess leads to Homura receiving this level of attention. Then there's the "perpetual suffering in service of the world" thing. |
| 187 | * AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Pulls this on an MHD shrink when Mami tricks her into a counseling session. |
| 188 | * MissionFromGod: Homura's driving force. |
| 189 | * NighInvulnerability: [[spoiler:After her HeroicRROD, Homura becomes a demigod.]] |
| 190 | * OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:After her soul gem fades to black.]] |
| 191 | * PowerGivesYouWings: She has energy wings accompanying her energy bow as her new powerset in the new universe. |
| 192 | * SanitySlippage: [[spoiler: The revelation that she can't die after the battle of New Athens left her considerably unhinged. Mami even comments that the events destroyed something within her. It doesn't help that it's explicitly stated that an high soul gem corruption directly affects the sanity of the Magical Girl...]] |
| 193 | * TheSpock: Of the original trio, Homura was by far the most pragmatic and detail-oriented. |
| 194 | * TimeStandsStill: Her power in the Pre-Madoka Universe. [[spoiler: Flash-backs implies that she still have it but never told the rest of the group, or that she got it back after her soul gem faded to black.]] |
| 195 | * TokenReligiousTeammate: Of the Mitakihara Four [[spoiler:prior to New Athens, at least]]. |
| 196 | * WaifProphet: Homura was portrayed as one of these before she TookALevelInBadass in ''Akemi''. |
| 197 | |
| 198 | |
| 199 | !!'''Yuma Chitose''' |
| 200 | |
| 201 | ->''"Of course, this kind of thinking is veering into conspiracy theory territory but, frankly, my whole life has been a conspiracy theory, and so has yours."'' |
| 202 | |
| 203 | ---- |
| 204 | * AlwaysOnDuty: She's MarriedToTheJob. |
| 205 | * BadassAdorable: Her current form. |
| 206 | * BigBrotherIsWatching: Yuma has a frightening level of control over the government's surveillance systems, having installed [[OverrideCommand backdoors]] into all of them. |
| 207 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: Yuma exploits this trope for all its worth. |
| 208 | * ControlFreak: Has elements of this due to her experiences with Oriko and the Souther Group. [[spoiler:In her argument with Kyouko in chapter 45, the latter accuses her of this.]] |
| 209 | * TheCracker: A benevolent version. |
| 210 | * CreepyGood: While putting on her 'innocent child' act. |
| 211 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Enough of it for several characters. [[spoiler:Grew up in an abusive home, was almost sold by her parents for their debts to Yakuza, fell in with the psychotic Southern Group, became an unwitting accessory to a murder of a magical girl and witnessed her friends torturing another one, and finally plotted and executed an ambush for all of them, almost dying herself in the process.]] |
| 212 | * DeliberatelyCuteChild: Yuma uses her cuteness to get her way in most of her meetings and discussions with fellow bureaucrats. It even works on machines. |
| 213 | * DeskJockey |
| 214 | * TheGadfly: Yuma enjoys exploiting her status as the ''imouto'', especially when it comes to mocking Kyouko's love life. |
| 215 | * HeelFaceTurn: After she was [[spoiler:[[UnusualEuphemism 'befriended']]]] following Oriko's death. |
| 216 | * HeelRealization: She always aware from almost the very start of her stint with the Southern Group that they were not a very nice band of girls, but it was her witnessing [[spoiler:them torturing another magical girl that pushed her to plan their downfall.]] |
| 217 | * TheMedic: Healing is her main power, and it is powerful enough to revive a recently decapitated human by simply reattaching the head to the body. [[spoiler:With the help of Oriko, she used this to magically enhance her brain.]] |
| 218 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Deserves special mention, as while ordinary humans stop aging before they hit thirty these days and many (if not most) of her 400+ year old contemporaries could pass for middle or high school kids were it not for the omnipresent facial recognition software... Yuma is physically ''nine''. |
| 219 | * RegretfulTraitor: [[spoiler:Still feels remorseful about betraying the Southern Group centuries later, even if it was necessary.]] |
| 220 | * TheSleepless: She figured how to not to sleep, by not sleeping and then healing the damage. Of course, by the 25th century this became redundant with the 'Permanent Awareness Module' that eliminates the need for sleep for the rest of the cast too. |
| 221 | * SoleSurvivor: From the Southern Group. |
| 222 | * TheSpock: Yuma seems to have inherited this role from Homura after New Athens. |
| 223 | * TheSpymaster: Formerly the head of Black Heart. |
| 224 | * StepfordSmiler: It's often noted by the other Mitakihara Four that her mirthful and childish demeanor is a veneer hiding her broken and ruthless personality born from her time in the Southern Group, although she still has a conscience preventing her from getting too ruthless. |
| 225 | * TokenGoodTeammate: When she was with the Southern Group. |
| 226 | * {{Workaholic}}: Yuma is very absorbed with her job, to the point that most of her consciousness is actively participating in government meetings at any given time. |

| 544 | * AnIcePerson |
| 545 | * MadArtist: Talked a lot about the beauty of her ice when she was fighting. |
| 546 | * PosthumousCharacter: Presumed as such. |
| 547 | * RapeAsBackstory: What drove her to [[VigilanteMan vigilantism]]. |
| 548 | * SlapSlapKiss: With Aina. |
| 549 | * ThinkingOutLoud: Has a habit of doing it constantly both normally and telepathically. Only Aina can stand it, while others barely tolerate it. As stated above, she dials it down when near Aina. |

| 562 | !!'''Sayaka Miki''' |
| 563 | |
| 564 | * DeadStarWalking: In ''Akemi''. |
| 565 | * DeathSeeker: Just like in the source material, her love troubles made her unstable, and here in ''[=TtS=]'' she first tried to do a suicide-by-unfriendly-magical-girl. |
| 566 | * MinorMajorCharacter: [[spoiler:Sayaka]]. She barely gets mentioned in history and the VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory movie retelling about the Mitakihara's magical girls' story, her existence is almost unknown, and her portrayal is somewhat lacking for someone who is one of the main character of the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica mother series]], [[spoiler: even though she was acknowledged as one of the original Mitakihara Four, the (officially documented) main reason of Homura's sudden personality change and her famous obsession of her Goddess, and (Mitakihara Four restricted information) [[LovingAShadow Kyouko's heartbroken]] [[SexForSolace rebound sexes]]]]. Justified because she doesn't survive long enough for her name to be famous. |
| 567 | * PosthumousCharacter |
| 568 | * ThePeteBest: More like The Stuart Sutcliffe; she ''died'' before they became famous, as opposed to left. |
| 569 | * VigilanteMan: Had a brief stint as it soon before dying, trying to find and kill evil Magical Girls. [[spoiler:Notably she killed the two underlings to the Yakuza to which Yuma was about to be sold. In front of Yuma herself.]] |

| 575 | !!'''Sacnite Tafani''' |
| 576 | |
| 577 | A magical girl from X-25. One of the few magical girls that isn't part of the MSY. |
| 578 | |
| 579 | ---- |
| 580 | * ExplosiveLeash: Has suicide implants implanted in her brain to force her to serve [[spoiler:the Ordo Magii Illustrata. Her magic would had automatically protected her from the implant's effects, but she didn't know that.]] |
| 581 | * FakeMemories: [[spoiler:All of her childhood memories are actually from the original Sacnite and implanted in her while she was growing in a tank.]] |
| 582 | * ForcedIntoEvil: She's forced to work for [[spoiler:[=DeWitt=]'s cult]] against her will via threat of death by suicide implants. |
| 583 | * FountainOfYouth: After X-25, [[spoiler:the MHD made her take on an eight-and-a&-half years old body, closer to her actual mental age, until she can get new life experiences to replace her losing false memories that made most of her "childhood".]] |
| 584 | * GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Grigori [=DeWitt=] wanted to create magical girls via mass cloning, Sacnite was the only success. Whose wish was that someone would stop the whole cloning project and save them. Cue the SOS signal and Governance intervention.]] |
| 585 | * HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:After X-25, Nakase Shizuki adopted Sacnite, making her Ryouko's de facto little sister.]] |
| 586 | * IdentityAmnesia: [[spoiler:Her fake memories of her childhood starts disappearing with time passing, as her soul reject those memories that it didn't lived.]] |
| 587 | * MeaningfulRename: The MHD is still pondering if she should get one [[spoiler:to help her mentally differentiate herself from her original. While her first name seems to have stuck, it's possible that her last name changed with her adoption by Nakase.]] |
| 588 | * PowerNullifier: Her main power is the ability to jam telepathy and clairvoyance in a wide radius around her. It makes infiltrating teams of magical girls extremely difficult, as clairvoyants can't scout what's ahead, telepaths can't communicate beyond a few meters (and she can tracks attempts at long-range telepathy back at their source) and teleporters are strongly limited (as they use an instinctive limited form of clairvoyance to avoid teleporting into a wall) |
| 589 | * {{Telepathy}}: Her secondary power. |
| 590 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: [[spoiler:She looks like being 11-12, but she's actually ''four years old''.]] |
| 591 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's almost impossible to talk about her without revealing [[spoiler:the mass cloning project going on at X-25.]] |

| 602 | |
| 603 | Ryouko's mother. She wants her daughter to stay out of trouble, namely by keeping her from becoming a Magical Girl [[spoiler:by any means necessary, including sabotaging the family's funds until Ryouko was past contracting age to lower the chance. She's also a '''true''' former Magical Girl, in that she has absolutely no powers anymore. Her experiences as a Magical Girl lead her to start a project that ultimately resulted in clones of each girl being created in case one loses her body but still has an intact soul gem.]] |
| 604 | |
| 605 | ---- |
| 606 | * BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:Former Magical Girl, as in she has no more powers. Her sister, Nana, made a wish that returned her to a normal human.]] |
| 607 | * ChunkySalsaRule[=/=]LudicrousGibs: [[spoiler:The end result of her last fight against Demons, leading to both her sister's wish and the clone project.]] |
| 608 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Was not ready for the responsibility of being a Magical Girl and fighting Demons ''at all''. She ends up getting her body destroyed when her sister gets involved on a hunt. Said past is part of what drives her motives to keep Ryouko from becoming one. Kavita (her best friend whom she made her wish for) reacting very poorly to her own revival is probably what drove her to research cloning for Magical Girl back-up bodies]] |
| 609 | * GoodParents: Can seem [[MyBelovedSmother a bit overbearing]] at times, but she genuinely loves her daughter and has many good reasons to be a bit upset at how things turned out. |
| 610 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:When Yuma interrogates her about the circumstances of Ryouko's birth, Nakase suddenly feels unwell and Yuma's hidden Black Heart Telepath advises to cease the interrogation since she detected traces of memory manipulation, and signs of possible self-destruct traps.]] |
| 611 | * SupernaturallyYoungParent: Par for the course in the future, where aging stops [[ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty at 27]]. |
| 612 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Arguably. She goes to an extreme length to prevent Ryouko from contracting, not to mention the entire clone project... ]] |

| 620 | |
| 621 | ---- |
| 622 | * GoodParents: He may be a bit awkward even at the best of times, but he cares for Ryouko deeply. [[spoiler:He even hooks her up with a high-level military prototype implant.]] |

| 643 | * ForeignExchangeStudent: From Argentina, she transfered into several schools around the world to learn foreign languages. |
| 644 | * MeaningfulName: "Del Mago" means "from the mage", and sounds like the name a matriarchy might carry. [[spoiler:It isn't.]] |
| 645 | * MysteriousTransferStudent: There's a slight aura of mystery surrounding her. [[spoiler:There are several inconsistencies on her background, like the fact that she often files different names for her parents in the transfer forms or that she seems to had anti mind-reading training. That with how she apparently specifically targeted her attention on Ryouko immediately after being transfered made it clear that there's more than meet the eye with her.]] |

| 647 | |
| 648 | |
| 649 | !!'''Chiaki and Ruiko''' |
| 650 | |
| 651 | * SocialCircleFiller: They get much less focus once Ryouko leaves Earth to start her Magical Girl career, and the few times they can get in touch with Ryouko serves to show the growing gap between them due to the contrast between their carefree civilian life and the stress of Ryouko's military life and all the conspiracies surrounding her. |

| 658 | |
| 659 | ---- |
| 660 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: In-Universe the various movies change his normal looks into superstar material. |
| 661 | * HomeGuard: Started out as an officer in a militia of the unremarkable colony planet Bismark on the fringe of the front, deemed not important enough to spend resources to either defend it or conquer it by both sides. When the aliens had a spare force to throw, they sent them to Bismark, and the hastily created militia hold out for months before the aliens relocated to somewhere more important. Erwynmark's performance caught someone's eye from the high up, and the rest is history. |
| 662 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Rommel. That 'Erwynmark' has the 'Erwin' from 'Erwin Rommel' was [[WordOfGod just happy coincidence]]. |
| 663 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Most of the General Staff are, but Erwynmark seems to be the most dedicated to giving Magical Girls proper representation on the council. |
| 664 | * RobotBuddy: Rommel, Erwynmark's sentient AI aide, is implanted somewhere in his abdomen. |
| 665 | * TheStrategist: Notably, his strategies ''work''. |
| 666 | * SupportingLeader: He's the closest thing to an unambiguous leader figure humanity has, thanks to the murky nature of the directorate. |
| 667 | * UnfortunateNames: Rommel for obvious reasons, but nobody really wants to point this out. |
| 668 | * YoungAndInCharge: Compared to the rest of the General Staff, and up to eleven when compared to Mami, who's at least 300 years his senior. |

| 708 | ---- |
| 709 | * ArtificialIntelligence |
| 710 | * CessationOfExistence: [[spoiler:Appeared this may have been the case in chapter 41, as whether or not the [=TacComp=] had a soul was left unanswered and no known backups exist. Chapter 45 reveals that Clarisse ''does'' have a soul, and Ryouko's soul gem saved Clarisse's body, meaning that when Ryouko is revived, Clarisse is too.]] |
| 711 | * ComputerVoice: Speaks with Ryouko's own voice, which combined with her avatar of Clariss van Rossum makes their interaction awkward for Ryouko sometimes. |
| 712 | * DeadpanSnarker: Develops that trait through the chapters. |
| 713 | * DoAndroidsDream: [[spoiler:Wonders if she have a soul, even asks it to the Goddess, and eventually reveals the answer: yes.]] |
| 714 | * Expositron9000 |
| 715 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: To the point that she and Ryouko considers her as sentient. It's implied to be the case with all the [=TacComps=] v.2.0. |
| 716 | * InterfaceWithAFamiliarFace: Her virtual avatar takes the appearance of Clarisse van Rossum, except the usual "I/O" tattoo on the left eye used to differentiate AIs from humans (and another in her left middle finger replacing the usual Magical Girl nail marking). She still speaks with Ryouko's voice |
| 717 | * NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Chose her name after Clarisse van Rossum, Ryouko's childhood hero. |
| 718 | * RedOniBlueOni: Zigzagged: plays as the Red Oni to Ryouko's Blue Oni when dealing with other people, and as the Blue Oni when they have to deal with the politics and conspiracy stuff, [[spoiler:and when Ryouko goes berserk in battle.]] |
| 719 | * RobotBuddy: Ryouko's attendant AI. |

| 732 | ---- |
| 733 | * EnigmaticEmpoweringEntity |
| 734 | * KidAppealCharacter: InUniverse. Stuffed incubators are adorable. |
| 735 | * TheMenInBlack: Before the [[BrokenMasquerade MSY went public]], one of their jobs was to keep the existence of the magical girl system from being discovered by the public. There are rumors they were behind the mysterious [[KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade disappearance without a trace]] of any girl that intentionally tried to make public the existence of the magical world. |
| 736 | * SeriesMascot: InUniverse. He has plush toys. |
| 737 | * TookALevelInKindness: Possibly. Most of the younger Magical Girls think of Kyubey as friendly. Mami supposes that this is because they don't have the context of the Incubators' [[BlueAndOrangeMorality highly amoral]] past to work off of. |
| 738 | ** not to mention that probably only Homura knows exactly what all happened in the past before Madoka changed the magical girl system with him. |
| 739 | ** [[spoiler: [[SubvertedTrope subverted]] when Kyouko and her team liberated X-25, where Kyubey revealed that the Incubators knew all along of the rogue colony's existence and the horrible experiments conducted there on mass producing magical girls by cloning and indoctrination, but didn't warn Governance because they wanted to see the results, [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness until it was clear that it would lead nowhere]]. Yep, still the same old rat bastards.]] |
| 740 | |
| 741 | !!'''Cephalopods''' |
| 742 | |
| 743 | |
| 744 | ->''"They massacred millions for incomprehensible goals, cthuloid monstrosities striking fear and panic throughout the colony worlds, and even on Earth itself."'' |
| 745 | |
| 746 | ---- |
| 747 | * AliensAreBastards |
| 748 | * BizarreAlienBiology: They are like octopuses that evolved to live on land, with four semi-rigid tentacle-arms (with little tentacles protruding from the end serving as hands), two legs that looks like rigidified tentacles, an head that is basically Cthulhu's (tentacles ringing their mouth included) with octopus eyes and rubbery skin. And that's just the outside, the inside of their body is even ''weirder'', with their blood being [[AlienBlood bright green]], lungs of a similar design to birds, a [[TheVoiceless complete absence of any organ or system to emit sounds]] and a decentralized nervous system (again, similar to octopuses) which makes their body continue resisting even after the head is severed or blown-off! |
| 749 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Their eyes have a substantial amount of white sclera, like human eyes, making them very human-like despite the octopus pupils. It's stated that the human soldiers [[UncannyValley often find it very disturbing]]. |
| 750 | * HiveMind: Some speculate each alien is in constant contact with a central intelligence. |
| 751 | * HollywoodTactics: Sometimes they'll send substantial forces to capture a minor strategic position while ignoring major ones, while other times they'll drop all subtlety and obliterate an enemy base from orbit; sometimes launching great assaults on a system that barely lacks the punch to succeeds even thought they had reinforcements nearby that they could had called to complete their forces [[spoiler:and other times they'll pull up brilliant strategies, such as the wormhole stabilizer trap, that would have wiped out a huge part of mankind's space fleet and even all but secured their victory in the war if not for the Goddess's intervention.]] |
| 752 | * JustToyingWithThem: It's often speculated that the aliens aren't taking the Contact War nearly as seriously as humanity. [[spoiler: [[LetsGetDangerous At least until recently with the wormhole stabilizer trap.]]]] |
| 753 | * StarFishAliens: Even after 20 years of war, no one still has a single idea of why they try to exterminate mankind, even ''[[TheOmniscient the Goddess]]'' doesn't have any idea of their motives. Not only that, but their actions in the battlefield often doesn't make any sense: sometime they'll exterminate everyone in a colony, the other time they'll spare random people, even attacking unarmed civilians and children ''while completely ignoring the people shooting at them''. |
| 754 | * TakeNoPrisoners: Since the very first of their attacks they have never captured anyone alive, they have just killed regardless if they were man, woman, child or magical girl. Except when [[StarFishAliens they doesn't and let them escape for no apparent reasons.]] |
| 755 | * TeleportersAndTransporters: possesses the technology to generate and stabilize wormholes to go instantaneously across large distances of space. Size goes from Paradox Drives for individual spaceships to Wormhole Stabilizers, huge installations able to open a wormhole big enough to transport a whole space fleet across whole stretches of the galaxy. [[spoiler:Ryouko's powers are based on the same physical principles.]] |

| 762 | |
| 763 | * TheChainsOfCommanding: [[spoiler:Confessed to Ryouko that the divinity is weighting down on her, saying that over the centuries she started to think in the way not unlike that of incubators.]] |
| 764 | * TheChessmaster: Uses her omniscience and various means of influcence (such as visions) to affect events to further her plans, mainly helping the Magical Girls and ensurring mankind's survival against the aliens. [[spoiler:It's heavily implied that she was the mastermind behind most of the events of Ryouko's life, from the Wraith attack that led her to contracting in the first chapter, to as far as ''her birth''.]] |
| 765 | * DeityOfHumanOrigin: Madoka is (correctly) understood to be this. |
| 766 | * DivineIntervention: [[spoiler:Does not interfere directly, but has shown herself before Ryouko to provide valuable information to act upon, which is quite a distinct case compared to usual nebulous visions that other faithful occasionally get.]] |
| 767 | * HotGod: Sadly, only Homura ever gets to appreciate this. Everyone else is left pontificating over her possible hair color. [[spoiler:Ryouko is one of a few who saw her in a vision in perfect clarity.]] |
| 768 | * TheOmniscient: She knows everything, [[spoiler:but having limited venues to affect things leaves her frustrated.]] |
| 769 | * SentientCosmicForce: Pretty much. |
| 770 | * TalkingInYourDreams: [[spoiler:One of her more normal ways to communicate with Ryouko.]] |
| 771 | * YouCannotGraspTheTrueForm: She hints that seeing her "final form" (most likely referring to Kriemhild Gretchen) isn't something conductive to a human's health. Considering the one exemple of a character witnessing someone turning into a witch for a brief moment before returning to the Law of Cycles was broken by the experience, she's probably right. |
