A Magical Girl from long ago who feuded with another Magical Girl.


  • And Then John Was a Zombie: The betrayal from Chizuru’s father and clan, the resultant death of her father and getting shot while she was having a fight with Chizuru was more then enough to push her over the Despair Event Horizon and she refuses Chizuru’s attempts to help her, witching out right in front of her.
  • Dying Curse: Vows that her grudge and curse against the East will torment them for eternity for their betrayal as she witches out and thanks to the Symbol Witch fusing with her, her curse is able to carry on until present day.
  • Et Tu, Brute?: What caused her to witch out: Chizuru’s father betrayed her and her father by siding with another country and arranging to have them killed, with Tsuyu’s father being killed and Tsuyu being shot by a sniper. Unfortunately, this also caused Tsuyu to believe that Chizuru betrayed her as well, even though no such thing had happened.

Introduced in Valkyrie of Vik

    General 

Tropes that applied to both sisters:

  • Practically Different Generations: Inverted. Considering Ebbe met both when they were children, or in his words, "hardly sprouts", suggested that they're very close in age (1-2 years), or even a case of fraternal twins, if their Doppel description describing the sisters as "twin trees" have anything to go by.

Voiced by: Shion Wakayama

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/heruka_magireco_card.png

A Magical Girl living in a nunnery in Tibet. After her hometown was burnt to the ground by the Mongolian army, she and her childhood friend Dolma took refuge in a nunnery. However, she harbors no hatred for the Mongolian army, and would be content to spend her days enjoying herself rather than taking revenge. A Buddhist nun caught in the invasion of Tibet by the Mongolian army, her powers as a Puella Magi lead to her becoming a religious figure that changes the course of the war. Her conceptual magic allows her to calm people's hearts.


  • Artistic License – Biology: Being Tibetan, and ancient Tibetan at that note , she should be at least of a tan, since Tibetans (especially those that are not from the city) have a tendency for dark skin.
  • Emotion Control: Her conceptual magic can calm people down similar to Sasha's, but while Sasha's magic eases the mind Heruka's magic is described as completely destroying someone's will to fight.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Sets herself up as a demon that bewitched the convent and allows herself to be executed to peacefully end the war.
  • Killed Offscreen: Is executed offscreen after the soldiers seize her.
  • No Hero to His Valet: Even as she's being seen as a messiah by the other nuns and some of the Mongols, Dolma still remembers her as an ordinary girl who enjoyed sleeping in.

  • A Child Shall Lead Them: Just like her real-life counterpart, she succeeds Himiko's throne and becomes the ruler of Yamatai at the age of 13.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Being obstracized by resident in the village she lives in due to being believed to be a child of the "Cursed God". Turns out, the occasions when Toyo is thought to be "possessed" are when her illness acting up.
  • Antiquated Linguistics: Considering she lived in the third century of Japan, she speaks this way; such as referring to other people with "unu", an archaic second-person pronoun.
  • Delicate and Sickly: Has been through multiple Near-Death Experience as a baby due to her poor health, and it would have deteriorated further had it not for her contract with Kyuubey. While the name of her illness is not outright stated, the symptoms including paralyzation, speech difficulty, Incurable Cough of Death heavily implied it to be a form of epileptic seizure. It also seems to be heditary, as the same illness eventually killed Toyo's mother Himiko and the ruler before that.
  • Historical Domain Superperson: Toyo, the real life successor to Queen Himiko, is a magical girl. She has the honor of being the first new playable character in Magia Record to be based off a real historical figure.

Introduced in Sweetheart of Pax Romana

    Amaryllis 

Voiced by: Sayumi Suzushiro

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amaryllis_magireco.png

An ancient Roman Magical Girl who serves as a maid of honor to a prominent family in Pompeii. After experiencing the tragedy of a natural disaster that destroyed the town, she was reborn three years into the past. She is scrambling in the midst of the "Peace of Rome" to change history and save the people from the coming scourge. She secretly loves board games.


  • Given Name Reveal: Amaryllis is not her real name. Her real name is Junia.
  • Hired Help as Family: Considering personal servants such as handmaids like herself are allowed to study similar subjects alongside their masters, Amaryllis is able to connect with upper-class people like Cornelia and Junia on a personal level.
  • Master of Disguise: She is able to change her appearance to match other people's. Unlike Rena's shapeshifting magic having flaws, others are forced to ignore inconsistencies in Amaryllis' disguises, making it nigh-impossible for her to be given away. The only main flaw of this magic is that any action she does during her impersonations cannot last more than three days.
  • Shipper on Deck: Set up Marius to fall in love with Cornelia, who is formerly Junia's fiancee. This is part of Amaryllis' plan in setting Pompeii's evacuation in motion, and considering Amaryllis and Junia are one and the same, she still loves Marius dearly but has to put it aside in order to protect him and other civillians of Pompeii.
