The Wings of the Magius

Magical Girls who carry out the plans of the three Magius. Having been lectured on the curse that shackles all Magical Girls, they believe that the Magius can lead them to salvation. They are divided into Black Feathers, who do much of the grunt work, and White Feathers, who act as enforcers.

General

Tropes applying to the organization:

0% Approval Rating: By episode 24 of the anime, their leaders Touka and Nemu reach this among their Feathers after their activation of Embryo Eve causes the Doppels to corrupt their Magical Girls.
Apocalypse Cult: They are freakishly devoted to the salvation of magical girls, to the point where they see even Walpurgisnacht as a means to that end.
Armies Are Evil: The villainous Wings of the Magius are in practice a massive army compared to the small and heroic Team Mikazuki Villa.
Big Bad Duumvirate: The group is lead by three Magical Girls: the artist Alina Gray, the genius Touka Satomi, and the writer Nemu Hiiragi.
Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: The rank of a member is seen from the color of their hood; the lowest are Black Feathers, and the leaders of the Black Feathers are White Feathers. The highest commands are never seen with hoods.
The Dog Bites Back: A villainous variant. For all the progress humans have needed Magical Girls for, they have still ignored their existence in a way no different from the Matilda effect while Magical Girls are condemned to suffer and feel exploited like resources. Therefore, the Magius are willing to sacrifice them to help their Magical Girl brethren progress in their liberation from the Witch cycle.
Touka: Humanity wouldn't have advanced as far as it has if Magical Girls hadn't sacrificed their lives. That all ends here. I won't allow them to use us for the sake of their progress when they don't even know about us.
Equal-Opportunity Evil: One of the Magius trio's leaders is the foreign Alina Gray.
Faceless Goons: The Feathers are functionally this within the Wings of Magius, as they always use hoods and use standard-issued mass-produced weapons as the organization policy. Several Feathers got names and you can tell who they are when you meet them, but in-narrative they're pretty much serve as Mooks.
Faustian Rebellion: Their aim is to destroy the witch system by making a witch that can directly convert emotion into energy for the universe. This plan would discount the Incubator and the magical girl contract as the middleman from the equation of the energy cycle, rendering the system unnecessary. Of course, this plan is still powered by humongous amount of despair, brought by the Walpurgisnacht's destruction.
He Who Fights Monsters: The Wings of the Magius, while dedicated to liberating Magical Girls from a system where they are exploited by humanity as Human Resources, ultimately rely on their own system that exploits humanity as Human Resources to do so.
Hypno Trinket: As it is revealed later, the bird-shaped medallion the Black and White Feathers wear on their person as a sign of their allegiance to the Magius is actually a Rumor that would function as a brainwashing Slave Collar the moment the Magius wish it.
In the Hood: The mook members are seen wearing hoods, with the slightly more important members ditching them after first contact with the heroes.
Motive Decay: The organization lost their original aim when Ui disappeared from everyone's memory, and later losing contact with Iroha by proxy. Because they lost their irreplaceable members, Touka and Nemu attempted to fill their roles with the closest people they could get, Alina as "the artist" and Mifuyu as "the overseer". Those two succeeded filling the main goal of the Magius but failed their implicit roles; Ui serves as the ego to balance out Touka's id and Nemu's superego when Alina out-ids even Touka which causes imbalance within the method chosen by the Magius, while Mifuyu doesn't care about Iroha's concern to keep everyone from making the morally questionable actions as long she gets the results until the situation starts to get out of her hands.
Super Supremacist: The three Magius, as well as some of the Feathers, believe Magical Girls to be superior to regular humans, which is why they're so willing to sacrifice them for the sake of salvation. In Part 2, the Neo-Magius are formed by Feathers who still believe in their supremacy despite Touka and Nemu joining the Kamihama Magia Union and Alina going missing.
We Cannot Go On Without You: The way it seems, the three Magius can't accomplish their goal if one of them is dead because their personal magics are essential to do so. The same can't be said for the Black Feathers though.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Their main goal is for them to gather enough energy to power up a pseudo-witch construct they have planned to use as a mean to stop the witch-system, even if they have to lure Walpurgisnacht (and her ensuing catastrophe) into Kamihama. Alina makes an impression that whatever they do and whatever sacrifices they make in the present is necessary to the future. The Anonymous AI Rumor agrees that their goal is logical, but because human hearts exceed logic, it warns the members of the Magius that their plan will go wrong.
Zerg Rush: Individually, the Feathers are much weaker than the heroes, it's just that there's lots and lots of them in the major battle against them. Even veterans like Yachiyo can get slowly overwhelmed by their sheer number.

The Amane Sisters

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amane_sisters_7.png

Tsukasa (left) and Tsukuyo (right)

"We only have each other. Tsukasa and I shall always be together."

Twin sisters who serve as White Feathers, enforcers in the Wings of Magius. They were separated as children when their parents divorced and thus had very different upbringings which fractured their relationship, but upon being reunited they've sworn never to part again. They wished to never hate each other ever again. Their innate magic is to manipulate sound waves with their flutes.

Initially appearing in Chapter 4 as major antagonists, they made their playable debut on November 30th, 2017 in a Mitama Training event with Tsuruno, with Tsukuyo being added to the gacha and Tsukasa being a limited shop reward.

Tropes that apply to both of them:

Abusive Parents: It's downplayed, but both girls are overworked by their families. Tsukuyo's grandmother puts her through harsh lessons while her mother does little to stop it. Meanwhile, Tsukasa's father forces her to cook and do chores for him and his apprentices thanks to his Stay in the Kitchen attitude.
- Tsukuyo's grandmother and Tsukasa's father's nurturing the Slobs Versus Snobs mentality that fostering the twins' conflict prior their contract is one part to prove their point that the other is at fault for the relationship failure between the twins' parents and one part an attempt to feed the twins' dependency toward them.
Achilles' Heel: Because their weapons are flutes and the music they make, making loud enough noises will block off their music's effects. Also, if they are in some way incapable of playing the flute, they'll be helpless. Tsuruno cripples Tsukasa by punching her chest hard enough that she can't breathe properly, much less make music. Meanwhile, Sana stops their attack by knocking their flutes off their hands.
Adaptational Wimp: In the anime, they never directly fight the heroes, preferring to use Alina's captured witch and their own Doppels. They pretty much fold when they run out of those two options.
Affably Evil: They are both very cordial and polite when the player face them, making proper introductions of themselves before battle. The "evil" part, however, is that they are working with the Wings of Magius.
Anti-Villain: The Woobie type. They only joined the Wings of Magius to fight fate and for their own survival, and simply want to escape from their controlling parents.
Badass on Paper: The twins have a fair bit going for them, being hard working, well educated, getting good grades, and their sound-based powers are actually pretty dangerous. They just are kind of terrible bad guys and don't have the mindsets to be antagonists.
Character Catchphrase: If one of the twins makes a statement, the other twin will say 'Nee~' ('Right~') as an emphasis. In the English localization it's translated as "for sure."
Coordinated Clothes: The two have very similar magical girl outfits.
Eyes Always Shut: Downplayed because they still open their eyes every so often; their Character Tic is that they always have their eyes closed in casual interaction as an implied sign of their complete trust with each other to watch over the other's back.
Fashionable Asymmetry: Each of the twins has one half of a pair of tights on one leg, and a regular sock on the other.
Heel–Face Turn: In Chapter 9, after getting back their Soul gem, they and Mifuyu decided to quit the Magius and assist Yachiyo and Momoko's gang.
Hoist by Their Own Petard: They choose to ambush Iroha and Yachiyo in the sewer on their way to the Misery Rhyton Rumor because the acoustics makes their sound magic stronger. However, this also lets Tsuruno disrupt it by screaming really loudly, together with Kyouko and Felicia, which leads to the Amanes being defeated.
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: They don't really want to hurt anyone, and despite being some of the first users of Doppels encountered, they aren't that intimidating in-story. During Tsuruno's Training story, for example, when the Amanes manage to defeat Tsuruno when she's off her game, they freak out when they think that they've actually hurt her; afterwards, Tsuruno is able to drag them off wherever she wants.
- They're this In-Universe too, as when the Wings of Magius leadership are put on trial in the "Dreaming Cherry Blossom" event, the Amanes are let off scot-free after the statements of the Kamihama Magical Girls convince Sakurako they didn't actually do anything wrong.
Magical Flutist: They channel their magic through their flutes.
Meaningful Name: Their Doppels, Dum and Dee, are based on Tweedledum and Tweedledee because Tsukuyo and Tsukasa are twins. Dum's form is a half-sphere terrarium while Dee's is a half-sphere aquarium, and both mention the importance of their "other half."
- Their family name means 'heavenly sound', fitting for a pair of twins that use Magic Music to attack.
Mission Control: Their role in Kamihama Magia Union is to be the group's telepathy amplifier because their personal magics strengthen magical girls' telepathy signal far outside the default radius.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: They're completely loyal to the Magius up until they tried to sacrifice them and Mifuyu to Eve.
Musical Assassin: The two attack with the music they play on their flutes. However, they both use music in different ways according to their attack animations— while Tsukuyo uses the music itself to hurt enemies, Tsukasa uses her music to buff herself up before striking with her flute.
Parents as People:
- The twins' father, despite being a misogynist with a bad case of Stay in the Kitchen, genuinely loves them. The reason why he's always in a good mood on Christmas is because he once secretly fixed Tsukuyo's flute when she got lost and separated from her mother during a Christmas night. When Tsukasa goes missing in Chapter 8 because she got brainwashed to go berserk by the Magius, he thinks she ran away from home because she's fed up of her house chores, and asks Yachiyo to pass the message that he's not angry and just wants her to come home. Based on Tsukasa's claims that she wants to take over her father's workshop after the main conflict has ended and she's come of age, it's implied that they have reconciled and Tsukasa no longer wishes to escape her family.
- Its notable that, in the twins personal stories, that for all the stress that their father puts Tsukasa through as the housekeeper of the family, he didn't overwork Tsukasa to a point she outright collapsed in exhaustion. She ended up in the hospital due to a witch, albeit one latching onto her stress. The one who was outright hospitalized from stress and exhaustion, with no witch involved, was Tsukuyo. He's also a lot nicer to Tsukasa than their grandmother is to Tsukuyo, though given his own sternness and misogyny that certainly says more about how terrible the grandmother is than a glowing endorsement of him.
Promoted to Playable: They were added to the playable roster a little over two months after their debut.
Recurring Boss: After their introduction, prepare to fight them a lot in every chapter.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Tsukasa is the red oni, being a very energetic and slightly tomboyish, while Tsukuyo is the blue for her traditionalist behaviors. Their elements are also corresponding on their characters. Dark (Yin) is the element of feminine grace while Light (Yang) is the element of masculine boisterousness.
Security Blanket: Their flutes, made by their father, are both important means of both to de-stress and sources of comfort for the both of them.
Solomon Divorce: Their parents are divorced because the strain of social status difference proves that love doesn't conquer all. Tsukuyo goes with her mother's high class family while Tsukasa goes to her bamboo craftsman father. They were separated when they were very young that they didn't even realize that they are twins until recently. Because of this, Tsukuyo's legal full name is actually Tsukuyo Akatsuki.
Sympathy for the Hero: They are sympathetic to Iroha's search for her missing sister, being able to relate discovering you have a relative quite well.
Theme Twin Naming: Tsukuyo and Tsukasa, both are written with the kanji of 'moon'.
Tomboy and Girly Girl: Its not always obvious, but one of the tells between the two is that Tsukasa, being raised poorer and among men, is brasher, less polite, attacks physically in-game, and more prone to talking loudly than Tsukuyo. Tsukasa isn't exactly a tomboy, but compared to her sister she's one.
Twin Desynch: Their different upbringings are implied to not only have changed their personalities. Despite being physically identical in every other way, their chest sizes are dramatically different, likely because Tsukuyo, who grew up in a very wealthy family, ate much better than Tsukasa, who had a much humbler upbringing.
Twin Switch: Through her mind reading, Kanagi learns that the Amanes tried putting on each others' school uniforms at one point, but couldn't because of the difference in their chest sizes. The twins aren't very happy about other people finding this out.
Useless Bystander Parent: Their mother protests how her mother treats Tsukuyo..and not much else, as said grandmother basically runs the place.
You Have Failed Me: After too many failures, their Soul gem were taken away and thrown as a food for 'Eve'.

Tsukuyo Amane

Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Japanese), Jennie Kwan (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsukuyo_4star_card.png

"I never want to despise Tsukasa..."

"My name is Tsukuyo Amane. I'm unsure as to what to discuss on this occasion... Well, Tsukasa Amane is my twin sister, and while I serve as the leader of the Mizuna Girls' Academy Koto Club, I also practice many fine arts. As for what I love...my sister, Tsukasa."

Tsukasa's twin sister, Tsukuyo hopes to liberate Magical Girls. Constant training in music, calligraphy and dance has granted her considerable skills. Though she is admired by her peers, she doesn't have any friends she feels she can open up to. She can only be at peace when she is with her sister, Tsukasa.

Broken Ace: She's intelligent, incredibly talented and is respected by her fellow classmates, but all of her talent is the result of an abusive training regiment that's forced upon her by her grandma and she feels like she nobody can truly understand her... until she's reunited with Tsukasa.
Education Mama: An Education Grandma, in this case. Tsukuyo's upper-class family is obsessed with tradition, and they make Tsukuyo take so many classes that she collapses from the stress.
Friendless Background: Because of her constant training regiment, she has no friends - only peers. Not only is she lonely, she also has trouble interacting with people with anything more than polite distance; for example, she thought Tsukasa was boorish for roughhousing with a classmate.
Gruesome Grandparent: Her traditional grandma forces her to attend an obscene amount of classes with no sympathy to the damage she's doing to Tsukuyo's health and social life and guilt-trips Tsukuyo's mom so she won't intervene.
Nom de Mom: Her "actual" name is Tsukuyo Akatsuki as she was given her mother's family name when their parents separated, and many of her peers at her school address her as Akatsuki. Tsukuyo defies this upon reuniting with Tsukasa and joining the Wings of Magius, proclaiming herself as Tsukuyo Amane.
Oh, Crap!: Her reaction to seeing Iroha waiting outside her school.
Shed the Family Name: Its fairly telling that she choose to take on her poorer sister's last name instead of having Tsukasa take on her own, more high-class, name.
Sheltered Aristocrat: Is not used to things like used clothing stores, fast food burgers, and french fries.
Suspiciously Specific Denial: In the anime, when Iroha catches her by her arm and calls her "Tsukuyo-san," Tsukuyo insists that her name is Tsukuyo Akatsuki, and she has nothing to do with Tsukuyo Amane. Iroha isn't fooled.
Verbal Tic: She ends her sentences with "-de gozaimasu."
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She's openly declared that she'll leave her house and live with Tsukasa after graduation. Although her family was sent into disarray, they may be forced to allow it.
Yamato Nadeshiko: She's a feminine and elegant young woman who's skilled in traditional Japanese arts. However, this is the result of her grandmother's desire to uphold Mizuna's tradition rather than Tsukuyo's own choice and the training Tsukuyo went through to become such a woman has left her lonely and broken.

Tsukasa Amane

Voiced by: Aya Uchida (Japanese), Kayli Mills (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsukasa_3star_card_edited.png

"I never want to hate Tsukuyo..."

"My name is Tsukasa Amane! Um, this'll be a quick intro, but I'm Tsukuyo's younger twin sister. I live with my dad and his students at the bamboo studio in Kosho Ward that he runs. I'm fine living with only guys, but lately I've been losing my temper at being forced to handle all the chores... hee hee."

Tsukuyo's twin sister, Tsukasa hopes to liberate Magical Girls. Born into a family of traditional bamboo craftsmen, she runs the household to support her father and his apprentices. Though she is cheerful and has many friends, Tsukuyo is the only one she can open up to.

A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Tsukasa used to be Kanagi's junior and she even tried to discourage Tsukasa from joining the Wings of Magius. But Tsukasa's resolve to fight against her fate, not only for sake of survival but also so she could finally escape Kamihama's social conflict by living long enough to do so caused Kanagi to relent her pursuit. Kanagi still beats up Tsukasa on principle when their paths cross in the present.
Instrument of Murder: Tsukasa’s attacks involve hitting her enemy with her flute.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Her eyes glow red in her Magia before summoning tree roots to claw at her targets.
Stay in the Kitchen: Tsukasa's father has very rigid ideas about gender roles because of his upbringing, so even though Tsukasa is tomboyish enough to fit in with his (all-male) apprentices, in her father's eyes, Tsukasa can never become more than the woman who takes care of the house. No wonder Tsukasa's mother divorced him. And when you're the sole female in the house, all 'female' work naturally falls solely on you - Tsukasa's exhaustion was part of why she got witch-kissed before she ran away with Tsukuyo.
Temporary Online Content: Notably, Tsukasa is exclusively obtained during certain events, despite playing a notable part in the main story and not being a variant of an existing unit.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Despite their shock at Tsukasa's declaration that she'll take over her father's workshop, the other apprentices are all supporting her. Her father is asking the Akatsuki family to help Tsukasa.

Hagumu Azumi

See Magia Record Neo Magius

Mifuyu Azusa

Voiced by: Mai Nakahara (Japanese), Allegra Clark (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/395px_mifuyu_4_star_card_4.png

"If there’s no hope of Yachan joining us, then I don’t have a choice..."

"I’m Mifuyu Azusa. I used to be on Yachan’s team, but now I’m working with others while I live on my own for personal reasons. People say I’m sisterly and like to take care of others, but I’m actually terrible at household chores. I do like it when people take care of me, though!"

Seven years ago, she fought as Yachiyo's partner. After noticing her magic was weakening, she joined the Wings of the Magius as one of their leaders, hoping to secure happiness for herself. Though kind and gentle, her spirit is weak, which leads her to sometimes make bad decisions. A friend of Yachiyo's who vanished under mysterious circumstances some time ago and later reappears as an important member of the Wings of Magius.

Affectionate Nickname: Calls Yachiyo "Yacchan."
Be Careful What You Wish For: She wished that she can be free from her demanding parents in some way, but after Touka gave her a place to run from home, it's very apparent that Mifuyu has no capacity to be independent. She can't cook, can't do house chores, her skills back when she was a pampered rich kid are useless in her everyday life, and she's not as smart as her chosen collage course demands her that she might flunk her class (much to Touka's irritation as her sponsor).
Chekhov M.I.A.: Chapter 3 explains that Yachiyo is tracking down rumors to find Mifuyu. It works, but she turns up as part of the Wings of Magius.
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: In the climax of Chapter 9, she uses her illusion magic on herself to remove her bodily limitations in order to destroy the Uwasa of the Queen Bear. The Amane Sisters even beg her not to use it when they realize what she's about to do.
Deadly Disc: Her weapon is a gigantic chakram.
Death by Adaptation: Dies in season 3 of the anime to restore all the Doppelized girls.
Defiled Forever: A comedic example when Yachiyo tries to get her into a Christmas-themed bunnygirl outfit, the idea of being seen in causing Mifuyu to shout, among other things, she'll never be able to be married if seen in the thing.
Dissonant Serenity: She shows her own transformation into Witch, only to unleash Doppel, as a demonstration to newbie recruits about the Magius' salvation, and she keeps her composure. In the anime, she quizzes Iroha about the Magius' lecture with a vague smile on her face while this happen.
Evil Is Not a Toy: She seems to think that the Wings of Magius is one part her way to drag Yachiyo down to her level of helplessness and despair but also doesn't want to get Guilt by Association; that's why she's outside the regular hierarchy of the organization. But when Touka is planning to use Tsuruno to rack up the number of sacrifices for her master plan because the heroes are hunting en masse their other mean to do so, the Rumors, Mifuyu balks because she's now directly responsible as she's the one who lured Tsuruno to the Memory Museum. She also thinks she can control the sociopath geniuses with too much power in their hands that are the Magius; when she attempts to abandon the cause, the Magius discard her easily.
Expository Hairstyle Change: Her hair used to be longer when she was young. She cut it after Kanae's death.
Freak Out: It's understated, but she suffered one when she learned where witches come from. She held it in for a year, and then would have become a witch if Kamihama's effects weren't present. It's notable that she's a wholehearted convert to Magius.
Heel–Face Turn: After getting back her Soul gem, she and the Amane twins decided to quit the Magius and help Yachiyo and Momoko's gangs in Chapter 9.
Heroic RRoD: The strain of using her Dangerous Forbidden Technique in the climax of Chapter 9 uses so much of her magic that the strain outright cracks her Soul Gem. She gets better, thanks to Iroha's healing magic.
Heroic Sacrifice: Overloads herself with all the darkness and despair of all the Doppelized girls in the anime, resulting in her soul literally cracking and then shattering.
I Just Want to Be Normal: Her wish is so she can be free in her dreams, because her family made her very sheltered otherwise. There are some hints that this is mostly out of her own perception; Yachiyo claims that other than being magical girl, Mifuyu is pretty normal otherwise.
In Love with Love: Her view of romance is somewhat rose-tinted for someone who is very somber otherwise. Kanae describes her as "eating up anything with love story in it, whether it's a novel or a TV series." When she found out that her parents are arranging her marriage, she considered it well enough when she met the guy and he's no sleazy, though she would rather hold the marriage off until she graduated. One of the problems she has with the contract is implied that she's not going to live long enough to get married.
Literally Shattered Lives: A variant of this in the anime: Her astral body/soul cracks and then fully shatters due to her taking in the darkness of all the Doppelized girls, with her Soul Gem being shattered ^note in reality.
Master of Illusion: This appears to be her innate magic.
Mouth of Sauron: Seems to occupy this role in the Wings of Magius hierarchy, serving as the "connection" between the leaders and the rest of the group. She uses this position in Chapter 9 to announce her defection and to tell the Feathers to stand down.
Mystical White Hair: She has white hair and is initially presented as a mysterious character.
Only Mostly Dead: Her Soul Gem cracking after using her Dangerous Forbidden Technique to destroy the Queen Bear Uwasa leaves her in a comatose state between life and death. Iroha's healing magic is able to repair her Soul Gem, which allows Mifuyu to make a full recovery.
Only Sane Man: She's pretty much the only one who focused on the main goal of the Wings of Magius, as the other Magius are a bunch of genius children whose mindsets are pretty much out there.
Promoted to Playable: After being a significant NPC for months, she finally became a playable character on June 8, 2018.
Psychosomatic Superpower Outage: It's implied that, rather than her aging, it was her mental state that was causing her power losses. With her wish being linked to her personal freedom, when she felt like she was losing it her powers declined. Regaining this restores her powers to their full potential during Act 2.
Sunk Cost Fallacy: Her main problem with the magical girls contract is that she gets nothing out of it. Her wish to be a normal girl is practically null because being a magical girl cursed you to fight witches forever, fearing death by broken Soul Gem and still fated to die in despair as a witch in the future. When she accepted that those are the consequences of the contract, she noticed that her power is growing weaker the older she becomes. Not only she's fated to die a violent death, she doesn't even get the single perk of being a magical girl on the top of that. Then she found a possible solution dangling right in front of her, so of course she's going to take it.
- Later on in the story, when the heroes ask Mifuyu why she won't join them despite having helped them several times and openly complained about the Magius's increasingly extreme methods, she explains that she has a responsibility to the numerous Feathers that she recruited to see it through to the end while trying to steer them back onto a better path. Once the Magius decide that she's outlived her usefulness and sentence her to be fed to Eve, she finally decides that it's time to defect.
Team Mom: Is this to the Feathers in general, as unlike Touka and Alina she's shown to be care a lot about the Feathers beneath her and most of them respect her greatly.
Weight Woe: While it isn't obvious, she apparently has gained weight in the last three years due to retaining her habits from a teenager as an adult. As a result she starts using Magius missions as means to exercise despite the protest of Nemu. This comes back up during her Christmas Costume story when a clasp pops up, though Yachiyo refutes the idea and says Mifuyu has what is called a 'perfect body', though Yachiyo isn't sure if Yachiyo is teasing her or not.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She managed to be accepted to the pharmacy college, and is still working on becoming indepdendent from her family. She feels grateful to Touka and Nemu.
You Have Failed Me: After her shifting allegiance starts to show by letting the heroes through and exchanging intel with them, Mifuyu was stripped of her Soul Gem and thrown as a food for 'Eve'.

Shizuku Hozumi

Voiced by: Ayaka Nanase

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/395px_shizuku_2_star.png

"Sorry if I seem curt. I'm not very good at expressing myself. Don't worry, it's nothing personal."

"I'm Shizuku Hozumi. My parents run a cafe... which sounds cool, but it's one of those really old ones that don't serve anything fancy. You can still come over if you like. I wait on customers, so... Um, this ended up being more an introduction for our cafe than me. Sorry, I really don't have a lot of hobbies or anything..."

A Magical Girl who wanders about trying to find a place where she belongs. Unable to figure out what she likes, what she hopes to be, or even her own identity, she is always in a state of anxiety. Like the cafe her family runs, she is calm and quiet.

Alone in a Crowd: Her experience with the girls of Mikazuki Villa causes her to think that maybe she finally finds her place in the world. However, she reconsiders when she looks around the house, finds stationary and belongings of the group, and realizes that there are only five residents in Mikazuki Villa. She decides that she's intruding the group and leaves the house. Iroha and the others, on the other hand, had just returning from buying stationary for her when she leaves, fully intended to accept her among them.
Dating What Daddy Hates: From the narration, it's pretty clear that the only reason why Shizuku and Fuu-nii weren't officially dating was because Shizuku's father disapproved of their relationship, mostly because Fuu-nii was a 'searching for my calling' kind of homeless vagrant. However, based on his reaction when Shizuku admits to his face to she's wandering aimlessly again, her father regrets it that he prevented Shizuku from seeing his last moments and caused her distress.
Deadly Disc: Her weapons of choice are a pair of chakrams.
Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: The boy she made her wish for and was planning her life around died before her eyes, so now she has no idea what to do with herself. After become a magical girl, Shizuku then uses her power to travel to the places that he showed her, but none could sate her heart.
Family Business: Shizuku's family runs a coffee shop.
Friendship Denial: After Yachiyo finds her working for a 'shady group', Yachiyo takes her into her inner circle. Shizuku is very grateful of the gesture, but later has a second thought when she thinks she's disturbing the group's dynamic, despite they're planning to accept her no matter what. Shizuku leaves the Nanami Household without telling anyone, but the gesture is enough sign to sadden Iroha and Yachiyo.
Heroic BSoD: She doppels out upon knowing Ryou's death, even though her Soul Gem was cleaned by Yozuru beforehand.
More than Mind Control: Zigzagged; she gets brainwashed easily by the Magius because her will has no solid focus, but the brainwashing also wears off because she does has bonds with other people (like Ayaka) and doesn't want to be with Magius either.
My Greatest Failure: Shizuku's crush got in a horrible accident, so she wished to be taken to his location. But when she got there, all she could do was watch him die.
Of Corsets Sexy: A bustier crop top in her magical girl form.
Rei Ayanami Expy: Shares both her external appearance and relatively aloof attitude.
Scarf of Asskicking: In her magical girl form.
The Stoic: Her bio and Memoria describe her as quiet and calm.
Teleportation: Her wish to immediately come to her crush's side on his deathbed causes her to have a teleportation power by slicing open the air and creating portals to wherever she wants. This causes her to be a very valuable logistic transport for the Magius, because she can quickly travel to Witches' labyrinth and let the Magius capture Witches for their scheme.
Too Many Belts: At least three, and one of them has her soul gem on it.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She's still helping at her family's coffee shop, and has opened up more. There are a lot of customers who come specifically to see Shizuku.
Yank the Dog's Chain: After losing her crush, rejecting Mikazuki Villa, and being betrayed by the Wings of Magius, things finally start to look up for her after she makes up with Ayaka and reconnects with Ryo and Ikumi. Then Arc 2 comes and kills off Ryo and Ikumi. See Heroic BSoD.

San Kagura

See Magia Record Neo Magius

Kuro

Simply known as "The Black Feather", she does not reveal her identity. The Black Feather turned into a witch and Homura was forced to kill her.

Ascended Extra: She's basically Magia Record's answer to Charlotte. So much so that she became playable about a week after she first appeared.
Anguished Declaration of Love: Her last words to Homura is that she loves Homura very much and laments that she's worthless compared to her.
Big Damn Heroes: In Summer 2018 event, based on the witch rune transcript that appears in that scene, it is implied that she was the one who wakes Homura up when the later is knocked unconscious by a vengeful ghost that wishes to attack her.
Joke Character: She's capped at one star, her Connect and Magia are weak, she barely has any voice lines, and her character card and transformation sequence only use her Live2D model. It's a subversion, since she's really a gift to the fanbase.
Lethal Joke Character: Her Connect has a hidden ability: If it's used on Homura, it boosts Homura's attack by a whopping sixty percent. Awesome, but Impractical, since Kuro dies easily and Homura isn't the strongest magical girl either.
Meaningful Name: "Kuro" is Japanese for "black", referencing her being a Black Feather. Matasaburo likely refers to the novel Kaze no Matasaburo by Kenji Miyazawa. It's about a student who transfers to another school and vanishes as quickly as he appears.
No Name Given: During the Valentine's event, and it's not even clear whether or not "Kuro" is her real name either.
Nonstandard Character Design: Her character card and transformation sequence use a Live2D model as opposed to drawn artwork and animation.
Palette Swap: Matasaburo is a re-skin of the witch Candy.
Promoted to Playable: An NPC in an event that quickly was made into a playable character a week later.
What Measure Is a Mook?: The entire character is based on this. Even her witch is described as a minor player.

Ikumi Makino

Voiced by: Hina Kino

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makino_ikumi_04.png

"After you see me today, you won’t be able to think about anybody else, so get ready!"

"Hi, I’m Ikumi Makino. I’m a Magical Girl, but I’m actually a bit older than most of the others. I normally work at a maid cafe, but... Wait, never mind! I-I mean I’m the suuuper adorable head maid! I pour oodles of love into everybody’s hearts!"

A Magical Girl who wants to look adorable in any situation. She works as a maid at a maid cafe, shooting beams of cuteness with all her might. However, she has unintentionally become a comical personality, due to her old-fashioned style of acting.

Character Death: Dies in Arc 2 Chapter 6 while taking out the offshoot Mirror Witch.
Early-Bird Cameo: First appears as a nameless Black Feather in Chapter 9.
Even Evil Has Standards: She disapproves The Magius's methods in brainwashing magical girls to join their causes.
Girlish Pigtails: Wears her hair in small ones and is a very cutesy character.
Hates the Job, Loves the Limelight: She only became a maid idol because that's her friend's dream. Because their talents didn't match with their dreams, Ikumi and her friend Yumi exchanged their goals - the charismatic Ikumi would be an idol, while the athletic Yumi would be a volleyball player. However, the idol persona Ikumi uses has grown outdated, and she had a lot of difficulties being successful idol outside her maid cafe. She doesn't really like the work but nevertheless persevered, including using her contract to save her cafe.
Heel–Face Turn: After realizing that she was taken advantage by the Magius, Ikumi decided to help Momoko find Iroha.
Heroic Sacrifice: Allows her Kimochi to use up her entire life force to take out Promised Blood's Mirror Witch copy and allow the rest of the Union to escape.
I Let You Win: At the end of Wings in the Wind event, she, along with Ryo, allow themselves to lost to Shizuku so she could escapes The Magius.

Improbable Weapon User: She uses a mop as her weapon.
Meido: She works in a maid cafe and her magical girl oufit looks like a maid uniform.
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Delivers one to Ao in Chapter 5 in revenge for Ryou's death.
Third-Person Person: Sometimes refers to herself as Kumi.
Together in Death: Some of her last words as she's dying are about how she can finally go back to be with Ryou again.
Tragic Keepsake: She gains the Grief Kimochi's bracelet as her grief over Ryou's death caused it to appear and she helped Iroha to defeat it.
Vicariously Ambitious: A rare mutual example. She and her friend Yumi decided to exchange and fufill the other's goal.

Ryo Midori

Voiced by: Maki Kawase

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/midori_ryou_03.png

"I advise you to keep away before I take any suspicious photos of you."

"I’m always the one holding the camera. I’m not usually the one on the other side of the lens. You should get out of here. I have a lot of enemies because I photograph people’s bad sides as well. It’s better to stay away before people think you’re associated with me. So if you’re tagging along, be prepared."

A gossip-generating Magical Girl who photographs everything for posterity, good or bad. Even though she is feared for uncovering school problems or scandals, people enjoy her articles. The "Kitty Cat Diary" she makes as a pastime is her most popular column.

Awesome, but Impractical: Midori's Magica buffs her Magica damage for a few turns(and grants a small MP gain at 4 stars) and her personal memoria increases her MP gain. On paper, she's a good candidate for Magica spam teams. However, she only has a single Accele disk, meaning she's not going to be able to build up enough MP for another boosted Magica without a lot of support.
Blessed with Suck: She won't miss a photo opportunity, but that means she has to constantly take a photo, whenever she likes it or not. Because she can't just walk up to a major conspiracy every day, most of her scoops are cheap tabloid-tier contents like eloping couples or cute cats of the week.
Camera Fiend: Always seen with a camera.
Character Death: Ao accidentally destroys her Soul Gem after catching her trying to investigate Promised Blood's Kamihama base in Arc 2 Chapter 4.
Early-Bird Cameo: First appears as a nameless White Feather in Chapter 9.
Even Evil Has Standards: She is against The Magius's methods in brainwashing magical girls.
Fashionable Asymmetry: She wears stockings of different lengths.
Hero with Bad Publicity: After she made her wish and she gained the power to catch bullies and corrupt teachers red-handed, she gained a reputation as a snitch. She doesn't really care about what others think of her and considers what she does as justice.
I Let You Win: At the end of Wings in the Wind event, she, along with Ikumi, purposely lost to Shizuku so she could escape The Magius.
Intrepid Reporter: Takes photos of anything and reports it, regardless if it’s quality.
It's All My Fault: One of the reasons why she makes her contract is because when she tried to uncover a bullying case, her friend that she brought as a witness was also bullied into silence.
Killed Off for Real: Her Soul Gem is completely destroyed, and while Iroha had been able to restore Mifuyu's cracked gem there was nothing she could do this time. Ryou's funeral service is shown later on, confirming that she really is gone.
Third-Person Person: Refers to herself as Midori-san.
Trap Master: She can traps enemies in photos she takes.

Yukika Nanase

Voiced by: Tomomi-Jiena Sumi

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/card_30174_c.jpg

A Magical Girl who has never stepped away from the path made for her. She has been raised to be a lady of upper-class so she performs flawlessly in many areas but since she is surrounded by more talented girls, her self-esteem is extremely low. She was tired of boring days but since becoming a Magical Girl she's always getting into trouble.

Always Someone Better: She has the skills required of Mizuna ladies but is overshadowed by her her more talented peers such as Tsukuyo.
Combat Sadomasochist: She has a variation of this; because she really likes walking on the tightrope of danger, she gets really excited the more she's in trouble. As such, when she's fighting Yachiyo as one of the faceless Black Feather, she's in cloud-nine knowing that Yachiyo will beat her up good.
Cool Big Sis: Becomes one to the Yuzuki twins over the course of Moon Viewing Is After the Elegant Tea Party event.
Desperation Attack: True to her innate magic, gameplay-wise, her Magia and Doppel do more damage the lower her health is. Her Spirit Enhancement board also boosts her stats whenever she's at critical health.
Doom Magnet: Her magic is implied to draw her into dangerous situations, while also making her stronger the more danger that she's in. She decides not to join the Kamihama Magia Union despite being sympathetic to them because she's afraid that her magic will cause chaos within their ranks, a worry that isn't completely unfounded given her role in the Rondo of Oblivion event.
The Gambling Addict: Because of her love of the thrill, she sneaks into pachinko parlors to satisfy her need for adrenaline. In one of her lines, she says that she's fallen into the gacha hell.
Loving a Shadow: She's fond of Tsukuyo, but it appears that the one who likes in the Tsukuyo persona that she always projected in her school - dignified and graceful. It's telling that despite Tsukuyo already proclaiming her name as Tsukuyo Amane among the Wings of Magius, Yukika still calls her Akatsuki-senpai.
Meaningful Name:
- The first two of the three kana in her first name can also mean 幸, referring to the good luck needs for her gambling habit.
- Her surname also means "seven currents", referring to the lucky number seven (she’s a gambler) and the "currents" of adrenaline that flush within her body when she’s a Thrill Seeker.
Mook: She is a former Black Feather and was one of the many faceless Black Feathers that Yachiyo knocked out in Chapter 10. Since she was knocked out she doesn't really know what happened during the fight against Walpurgisnacht.
Playboy Bunny: Her Magical Girl outfit is based on this, combined with a bunny-ear headband.
Slept Through the Apocalypse: After Yachiyo knocks her out in the raid on Hotel Fendt Hope, she passes out for the entirety of the final boss marathon against Eve, Alina, and Walpurgisnacht. She only comes to when the crisis has been resolved.
Thrill Seeker: She loves the thrill of gambling and uses her presence-reducing magic to sneak into pachinko parlors. This extends to her Magical Girl duties as well; even when close to death against a Witch who's way out of her league, she's having the time of her life.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Now that she's legally allowed to gamble, she's doing her best to have fun without completely losing herself in her thrill-seeking.

Uwasa Tsuruno (Spoiler Alert)

Uwasa Tsuruno

Voiced by: Shiina Natsukawa

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/395px_rumor_tsuruno_3_star_card.png

A Magical Girl who serves as the mascot (Uwasa) of Chelation Land. She spends her time completely relaxed, protecting the theme park that rids its visitors of all worries. Her suggestions for the food court menu impressed all the other Uwasa.

Animation Bump: Her basic attacks have detailed animation.
Armor-Piercing Question: In her sidestory, Mifuyu attempts to break her brainwashing by showing her places where she has most nostalgic memories of like Banbanzai and Mikazuki Villa. Tsuruno says that she no longer has attachment to them, though admits that she doesn't really understand why (likely because she's not very lucid). Mifuyu, frustrated that she fails, claims that it's impossible for Tsuruno to no longer miss Mikazuki Villa. Tsuruno retorts that Mifuyu should be able to understand how she feels; after all, Mifuyu was the first who abandoned Mikazuki Villa. Mifuyu then realizes that she indeed has a lot of regrets.
Art Shift: Uwasa Tsuruno has the color palette of the witches and the Uwasa rather than her usual palette while still retraining her sprite, making her appearance very clashing.
Beat the Curse Out of Him: She ends up coming to her senses when Felicia hits her with her hammer that is "infused with everyone's feelings", after fighting her with the usual way didn't work.
Beneath the Mask: Uwasa Tsuruno's the Tsuruno who no longer cares about maintaining the face that she feels she needed to keep up for other people and instead seeking only her own pleasures, both material and emotional. While she's still capable of love, it was pushed back from her priority list because, whether she likes to admit it or not, she feels her dedication is taken for granted from her friends and it makes her feel one-sided when it comes to affection. Thus, the only one whose feelings can reach her is Felicia.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Played with, since she's actually very relaxed. However, anyone that tries to prevent said relaxation will be attacked.
Creepy Monotone: Her voicelines, despite the cheerful amusement park staff spiels, are delivered with almost no intonation.
Fusion Dance: Fused with a carousel-horse-like Uwasa of the Chelation Mascot (as depicted on the "Fusion" Memoria card), Tsuruno comes to serve the Chelation Ferris Wheel Uwasa and acts as its gatekeeper. Because of that, the overall Rumor can't be vanquished before separating them first, or Tsuruno will also get killed with it.
Obliviously Evil: Even after turning into an Uwasa, one of the beings that perpetrate rumors, Tsuruno still has the same cheerfulness that she had before her brainwashing, almost like she doesn't even realize that she's an Uwasa now.
Odd Friendship: Her sidestory reveals that while the Ferris Wheel and Chelation Mascot Uwasa are initially only agree to work together because it's an order from their creator, they start to grow fond of Tsuruno for real when they brainstorm together about creating their amusement park. They warn her about the danger of their fusion, and express that they miss her when all Uwasa are called to be the impartial juries for Touka and Nemu's martial court.
Ominous Visual Glitch: Occurs in her base attacks and transformation sequence.
Palette Swap: Basically Tsuruno with a different color scheme.
Temporary Online Content: Limited to the Uwasa Tsuruno Fate Weave gacha.

Hotori Yuzuki

Voiced by: Minami Tanaka

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

A Magical Girl who longs to be a hero. She makes a daily effort to be more like the strong and cool heroes who appear in Sentai shows, which are her ideal. However, because of her extremely nervous temperament, rather than become a hero she continues to be tyrannized by her selfish younger twin sister.

Ascended Fangirl: Arc 2's epilogue has her become the lead actress of a sentai show.
Cowardly Lion: Despite her desire to be a hero, she's a bit of a nervous wreck and is pretty easily pushed around by her younger sister. She can actually be very brave when it counts though, such as giving her life to save Rion in the Tea Party event.
Critical Hit Class: Gameplay-wise, she specializes in critical hits. One of her connect effects buffs critical hit chance and her Magia allows her to always deal critical hits for two turns.
Duality Motif: The future to Rion's past.
Heroic Sacrifice: In the original timeline of the Tea Party event, after escaping from the Witch the old school building the twins were sheltering in began to collapse. Hotori used her body to shield Rion from the falling debris, dying in the process. Rion later made her wish to undo these events.
Kick Chick: She mainly uses her kick to attack.
Tokusatsu: Her outfit and animations are clearly modeled after one of these. She's also a big fan of Toku shows in general, which inspired her wish.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She's become the first female Red Hero in a sentai show. Her scared face while fighting is famous amongst little boys.

The Magius

Three genius Magical Girls who are trying to save Magical Girls from becoming Witches. They are the leaders of the Wings of Magius, and they lie at the heart of the extraordinary phenomena occurring within Kamihama.

Alina Gray

Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu (Japanese), Cherami Leigh (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/395px_alina_4_star_card.png

"All I want to see is the best art ever made!"

"I, Alina, must introduce myself? Irritante... Simply look in any art magazine, and you'd already know that I am an artistic genius. So, ask me questions once you've finished reading, grazie. Then I might be willing to provide some details. Do you understand?"

A Magical Girl who is trying to create a world where no one has to become a Witch, Alina is an artistic genius obsessed with life and death who pours herself into her work, dreaming of making masterpieces featuring Witches themselves. She used herself as a subject for her art when in a slump. An artistic prodigy who achieved some fame for her artwork. She is also one of the three Magius, the leaders of the Wings of Magius.

Adaptation Dye-Job: Downplayed in that it's more of a conspicuous shade change, but her hair is a bit more blonder in the anime, to the point that it is noticeably different from her soul gem color.
Adaptational Jerkass: Alina's Ax-Crazy tendencies are bumped up in the anime, and her humanizing qualities in the game, including her Villainous Valour and Morality Pet relationship towards Karin, are largely absent.
Adaptational Superpower Change: Her One-Winged Angel form in the anime is a Fusion Dance with her Doppel and Embryo Eve instead of Holy Alina like in the game.
Adaptational Villainy: Alina's Evil Plan to use Embryo Eve after Touka and Nemu jump ship, while for petty reasons, is much worse in the anime, where she tries to turn all humanity into witches to feed her Mad Artist cravings, while the game has her use it to destroy Kamihama because she genuinely thought they were asking for it.
- Also, since the anime never adapted Arc 2, she doesn't get a Heel–Face Turn.
Ambiguous Situation: Subverted. In the anime finale, Karin makes her only anime appearance picking up a portrait with Alina's signature, implying that Alina has some sort of care for Karin like in the game and left her a parting gift before her demise. However, considering she has no problem wiping out all humanity (Karin included) like in the original game, such care is highly unlikely to be genuine.
Ambition Is Evil: She has her own Mad Artist ambitions, and in the anime finale, she isn't above turning billions into psychologically tortured Eldritch Abominations in the process.
And Then John Was a Zombie: In the anime finale, does it twofold: by becoming a Witch so that she may turn all humanity into Witches by infecting them with her Doppel.
Armor-Piercing Question: In the anime's episode 24, gives one to Kyubey when he shows her a complete lack of understanding why the Magius won't accept a system that dooms Magical Girls into becoming Witches:
Alina: Do you know who I think really deserves restituire for all the years of unfairness and exploitation? Oh, it should be obvious... or isn't it?
Attention Whore: In the anime finale, shortly before she becomes a Witch for her Evil Plan to turn humanity into Witches, Alina screams that she will "make everything into arte so gorgeous, [they]'ll all thank [her] for it!"
Bad Boss: In the anime, it is implied that she was the one who had Mami brainwashed into Holy Mami after the latter was disgusted that she was willing to attack other Magical Girls.
The Baroness: Alina is aloof, sadistic, and her magical girl outfit is based on a warden's uniform.
Barrier Warrior: It is said that her main strength is her ability to build layers upon layers of barriers, even inside an existing Witch or Rumor's barrier. She traps magical girls in individual boxes, constructs mazes out of the boxes, and waits for them to be devoured by one of the Witches she had attracted (Too bad Felicia doesn't care). Her ability to construct barriers is the keystone of the Wings of Magius' plan.
Beneath the Mask: In Karin's side story, she comes off as Karin's aloof and strict, but nevertheless nurturing senior in art. When she appears in the main story, what walks in is a dangerous, narcissistic, Mad Artist of a girl who takes delight in her opponent's suffering.
- This turns out to be a double-layer case. To her enemies, Alina is cruel and sadistic. But to her companions, she's closer to how she is in Karin's side story. It makes Iroha's confusion about how someone so villainous can wish for magical girls' salvation very understandable; she only saw one side of Alina Gray.
Big Bad: While not obvious at first, her arrival and subsequent influence to the Wings of Magius has made her the true main antagonist of Arc 1.
Blood Knight: When she finds out that Madoka and Homura are Mami's juniors, she gets ecstatic at the chance to vent her anger onto the friends of the magical girl who had caused her trouble. When she's finally cornered by the heroes, Mifuyu jumps in to evacuate her, but she tries to pull I Can Still Fight! out of frustration before she's discouraged.
Bright Is Not Good: She wears a neon-colored skirt and has bright lime-green hair, but is much nastier than Touka and Nemu.
Cavalry Betrayal: In the anime finale, if Alina's lack of genuine care about her own salvation of Magical Girls wasn't bad enough, she leaves all of them to potentially witching out when she allows the Doppel barrier to collapse the second she turns into Neo Dorothy Motherfucker.
Cavalry Refusal: In the anime, Alina's supposed interest in the salvation of her Magical Girl brethren is completely hollow and she in reality cares about naught but her own Mad Artist ideals. Heck, she flat-out betrays all of them to the Witch cycle by letting her own Doppel barrier collapse shortly after turning into Neo Dorothy Motherfucker.
Character Catchphrase: She often punctuates the start of her offensive maneuvers by telling her opponents, "Can you appreciate death?" She also tends to describe things she likes as "exciting".
Child Prodigy: She had played around the art supply since she was 2 and made her first famous work when she was 10. In the usual case of "you can only be a prodigy when you're still young", one critic said to her that unless she comes out of her slump quick, she might become "a star who dies when she's 15".
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: In the anime, she is willing to throw anyone under the bus if she decides that they are no longer useful to her, whether or not it's Touka and Nemu, Kyubey, or the entire Earth.
Commissar Cap: She wears a black peaked cap with a golden band to symbolize her authority and corruptive influence over the Wings of the Magius.
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Regarding anime villains, she is this to the original anime continuity's Kyubey.
- Both of them are sociopaths who appear to be doing what they do to save people but are willing to drop their Well-Intentioned Extremist facade to suit their own needs. However, Kyubey is a necessary evil for the universe whose alien morality system causes problems for the Magical Girls, which is demonstrated by his insistence in restoring the Witch cycle in Rebellion even when aware of an alternative, whereas Alina is an Ax-Crazy sadist who not only admits to not having any genuine intentions to liberate Magical Girls from the Witch cycle and tries to needlessly throw her own planet under the bus to satisfy her Mad Artist cravings, but also has a terrestrial understanding of right and wrong that would make her behavior completely inexcusable (especially compared to Kyubey).
- Both of them try to turn people into witches. However, Kyubey uses a selective millennia-old process towards a limited amount of teenage girls because their emotional energy is essential to the universe and by extension Earth, whereas Alina waits until Embryo Eve is awakened to come up with her plan to turn all of humanity into Witches just to create a Mad Artist project meant to earn the ire of magical girls.
The Corrupter: The Magius get more and more morally decadent pretty much because of her; she's the one who suggest to use Witches instead of Rumors to feed Eve, which comes with the expected civilians casualties. Because she intrudes into the original Magius' group dynamic, the trio's interactions get skewed into their worst character qualities. It's pretty much telling that Alina becomes the bad guy in the final stretch of Arc 1, despite not being in the original equation.
Creepy Blue Eyes: She is an Ax-Crazy psychopath with blue eyes.
Dark Is Evil: Her Magical Girl uniform is mostly black and she's the Token Evil Teammate of the Magius trio.
Deadpan Snarker: In this chat she says:
Since you're always staring at me, I tried to stare back, but nope, nothing interesting.
Death by Adaptation: After fusing with Old Dorothy and Embryo Eye in the anime (becoming a Witch-like hybrid in the process), Alina is slain by Iroha.
Deconstructed Character Archetype: In the anime, she deconstructs the Narcissist Mad Artist. As she reveals to Mifuyu after Hotel Fenthope is merged with the Chelation Land Uwasa, Alina had joined the Magius not to liberate magical girls from their eventual fate, but purely to satisfy her own twisted vision of art. Later, she leaves because, in her own words, "[her] goal as an artiste wasn't having tea parties in castles with girls who have the intelligence of sheep", proving that she cares nothing about her art to the point that she doesn't understand Touka and Nemu's heroic motives. Eventually, Alina's vision is satisfied by Touka and Nemu's destruction of Kamihama, and by the time the two pull a Heel–Face Turn, Alina decides that her new art vision is to turn all humanity into Witches, even going as far as to brag how great it is for them to suffer the very fate that the Magius are intended to liberate Magical Girls from, a fact that Touka of all people voices sheer disgust towards.
Demoted to Extra: Downplayed in that she has less screentime and little interaction with Touka and Nemu yet retains the same importance to the plot and the Magius. Unlike in the game, in which she remains with the Magius by the end of Arc 1, she ditches Touka and Nemu out of boredom, and returns in the finale purely as a Diabolus ex Machina.
Dirty Coward:
- In the anime, Alina lacks her game counterpart's Villainous Valor. She often feels smug whenever she has to care of Team Mikazuki no problem, but when she has to face Mami Tomoe, whose muskets make more powerful than the five, she nonchalantly scampers rather than even try to face her.
- In season 2, she refuses to assist Touka and Nemu in their Chelation Fenthope battle or getting Embryo Eve to Walpurgisnacht, whom she knows is about to reach Kamihama in hours and retreats to her atelier, even though these would be good opportunities to act as extra muscle for them. She remains on the sidelines doing nothing but her Mad Artist stuff even after Touka and Nemu awaken Embryo Eve, and in the anime finale, she decides to throw her own planet under the bus by not only trying to condemn billions to an And I Must Scream Fate Worse than Death, but also selling out all of her fellow Magical Girls to Kyubey.
Dragon Ascendant: For the entirety of the Myth Arc, the impression that comes from the Magius is that Touka is the Big Bad of their trio, with Alina and Nemu being her hands. But then Touka and Nemu have a Heel–Face Turn, while Alina goes on to be the Final Boss of the Magius.
Driven to Suicide: She filmed herself jumping off a building for an art piece. The only reason she survived is because she'd made her magical girl contract right before she jumped. She certainly wasn't expecting Touka and Nemu to find her and take her to the hospital.
Dumb Muscle: She's physically the strongest of the Magius trio but lacks the brainpower and strategic skills of Touka and Nemu.
The End of the World as We Know It: In both the anime finale and Arc 1 Chapter 10, this is her Evil Plan after Touka and Nemu are redeemed, whether by destroying it or turning all humanity into Witches.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: In the anime, Alina self-admittedly displays an inability to genuinely understand heroic motives, including Touka and Nemu's mission to liberate Magical Girls from the suffering of becoming Witches (nevermind the unscrupulous lengths the two will go to fulfill it), which is why she leaves the Magius to focus on her personal Mad Artist pursuits. This also proves to be a Fatal Flaw in the finale, where she openly admits to the other Magical Girls that she thinks condemning all humanity into the same fate as Magical Girls is brilliant if it's for her own art, and this eventually leaves the Magical Girls with no choice but to turn against Alina and, under Iroha's leadership, eventually destroy her.
Evil Gloating: In the anime finale, Alina brags about the specifics about her Evil Plan to wipe out humanity in one long speech.
Evil Is Angular: A Token Evil Teammate version, but Alina's hair is sharper than Touka and Nemu's curls.
Evil Is Hammy: She's the loudest of the Magius trio and even has an Evil Laugh in her Magia.
Evil Is Petty: Her plan to turn all humanity into Witches just to satiate her narcissism is pretty much the pettiest in any of the franchise's anime.
Evil Laugh: Given that she outranks the rest of the Magius in hamminess, it's fitting that her Magia has one of these. Oh, and she has one when severely wounding Embryo Eve during her Fusion Dance in the anime finale.
Evil Plan:
- In Arc 1 Chapter 10, she becomes Holy Alina to destroy the world.
- In the anime finale, she tries to turn all humanity into Witches to satiate her own narcissist artistic tastes.
Evil Virtues: In the anime, she has three: ambition, creativity, and determination. Alina is very determined to find something to satisfy her Mad Artist ambitions, and when she sees Embryo Eve being formed, she decides to form the Wings of the Magius as part of said ambition. But then, when she realizes that she is unsatisfied, she ditches Touka and Nemu and, upon witnessing Embryo Eve cause massive damage over Kamihama, she discovers her new Mad Artist vision: to turn every human on Earth into Witches, not even caring about the suffering that comes with the process of becoming a Witch.
Evil Wears Black: Her Magical Girl uniform is mostly black and she's the Token Evil Teammate of the Magius trio.
Eviler than Thou: In the anime finale, Alina reveals her plan to turn all humanity into Witches, one she is willing to screw the lives of Touka, Nemu, and her own White/Black Feathers over by destroying her own barrier that prevents them from becoming Witches. Not even Kyubey is safe from being subject to this from her, since it's implied she intends to commit genocide against the Incubators.
Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: She may look and sound cute untransformed, but when she transforms, she becomes an Ax-Crazy sadistic Blood Knight.
The Farmer and the Viper: Even though she was saved from becoming a Witch by Touka, Nemu, and Embryo Eve/Ui, it still doesn't stop her from trying to sell out the former two to Kyubey or by sadistically making the latter bleed gallons in order to wipe out humanity.
Fatal Flaw: In the anime, her Pride in her Mad Artist tendencies. Alina (self-admittedly) joined the Magius for some art and left when it failed to capture her vision, not caring that Magical Girls would suffer from becoming Witches, and after seeing Embryo Eye wreak havoc as her ideal vision of art, decides to sacrifice her own humanity in order to deprive all humanity of it as part of said vision, leading Iroha and company to destroy her.
- Additionally, she displays an inability to comprehend selflessness by ditching Touka and Nemu’s mission to liberate Magical Girls. This eventually bites her in the ass in the finale when she decides to turn all humanity into Witches to satisfy her own Mad Artist cravings, resulting in her being slain by Iroha.
Faux Affably Evil: Her supposed politeness doesn't mask her unfettered sadism or her hostile temper.
Final Boss: She and Mikoto serve as this for Arc 2 until Karin convinced her to pull a Heel–Face Turn.
Final Solution: In the anime finale, her Evil Plan is to wipe out all humanity by turning them into Witches. Also, it is implied in the penultimate anime episode that she intends to wipe out the Incubators once she's done with humanity.
For the Evulz: In the anime finale, she proves herself willing to escalate her Mad Artist tastes to a level dangerous for humanity for pure enjoyment, as Ui/Embryo Eve learned the hard way.
Genocide from the Inside: In the anime finale, Alina has no problem enacting an evil plan she knows would doom both her own kind (humans and Magical Girls) into becoming Witches, whether by being infected by her Doppel or by letting her own barrier collapse.
Gone Horribly Right: A Caustic Critic tried to encourage her in his own way, but his harsh panning had the worst effect on someone like her. Being a born and bred artist, the prospect of losing the only thing she has caused her desperate self-reflection of what she actually done wrong. One Freak Out and Then Let Me Be Evil session later, Alina becomes an even more brilliant artist, with none of her previous moral compass.
Gratuitous English: She often adds English words to her dialogue, most likely because she's a foreigner as seen from her name.
Gratuitous Italian: The English versions of the game and anime replace her Gratuitous English with Italian-language dialogue.
Hat of Authority: Her use of a Commissar Cap symbolizes not just her authority over the Wings of the Magius, but also her corruptive influence over them.
Hats Off to the Dead: Gives herself one in the anime finale by taking her hat off right before she turns herself into a Witch.
Heel–Face Turn: Near the end of Arc 2, after some convincing from Karin, she pulls one by defending Infinite Iroha from one of the Mirror Witch's powerful attacks, stating that she has finally found the answer. Touka and Nemu are still suspicious of her, but agreed to work together regardless.
Hero Killer: In the anime finale, she cements herself as the final nail in the coffin for Ui's demise by fusing herself and her Doppel with Embryo Eve (the latter's body). Oh, and she is indirectly responsible for what is somewhat implied to be Madoka's death since the latter uses so much power to stop Walpurgisnacht that she apparently dies (if Homura turning back time has anything to say).
Hey, You!: Despite her respect for Karin, she never refers to her by name, always calling her "Fool Girl".
Humans Are the Real Monsters: Given the extraordinary lengths she goes by stroking her own sadistic lust whenever she goes into battle or trying to put an entire planet into a Fate Worse than Death in the anime finale For the Evulz, it goes to show that Alina embodies how vile humans or Magical Girls can be compared to Incubators and Witches.
Icy Blue Eyes: She is a Dark Action Girl with blue eyes.
Improbable Weapon User: Her personal weapon is a light construct rubik's cube, which she can break off parts of to send flying in a manner similar to Macross Missile Massacre.
Insufferable Genius: Alina doesn't feel the need to introduce herself because she thinks her genius, and thus her fame, as an artist is an absolute fact. The thing is, she's not even smug about it; she just thinks that it's just a common sense that people would know about her, and most of the time, they do.
The Irredeemable Exception: Consistent with the magical girl genre, the franchise goes out of its way to give all of its villains a humanizing side to them, and the anime adaptations are no exception. Kyubey's tricking of young girls into becoming Witches is needed to save the universe, albeit with or without humanity; Homura wants to make everyone happy in the end of Rebellion; the Witches are either well-intentioned or subject to Alternative Character Interpretationinvoked; Touka and Nemu want to save Magical Girls from their cruel fate and are redeemed in the anime finale; Alina, on the other hand, is an unfettered, Ax-Crazy sociopath who not only doesn't care in the slightest about anything but her own skin, not even the Magius' well-intentioned goals, but she also is a Dirty Coward who will gleefully throw anyone under the bus to feed her Mad Artist cravings, her own planet included, and is completely unrepentant about her atrocities in the afterlife.
Ironic Name: Her first name "Alina", which means light, and her surname Gray are both ironic because she's a rare exception to the franchise's White-and-Grey Morality, being far more evil than even some of the worst Puella Magi and having only a sparse few redeeming traits, none of which are carried over to the anime.
It's All About Me: By admitting that she was only part of the Magius for her own artistic vision and by trying to condemn humanity to the Magical Girls' eventual fate just to satiate her narcissist artistic vision, the anime's Alina makes it clear that she cares about nothing but herself and her own art, even in the afterlife as the other deceased Magical Girls talk about the lament and suffering of their own kind that will never be known to humanity..
Jerkass: She proves herself an even bigger jerk than Touka given her dangerous, sadistic, short-tempered disposition, and when Touka and Nemu pull a Heel–Face Turn at the end of the Magius arc (game or anime) shows no remorse trying to wipe out humanity.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: While she is usually a sadistic Blood Knight when fighting her enemies, she is usually nice to her protege Karin. The anime, however, doesn't show this side of Alina.
Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Although she is even more of an Ax-Crazy sadist in the anime than in the game, she seems to have kept her care for Magical Girls given her leadership in the Magius. However, her admission that she left because "tea parties in castles with girls who have the intelligence of sheep" didn't fit her artistic vision and her final Evil Plan to wipe out humanity and sell out all the Magical Girls to Kyubey to accomplish such petty goals proves that this is not the case.
Kick the Dog:
- When revealing her actual intentions about joining the Magius in the anime season 2, she has the gall to not only do this in front of a just-severely weakened Token Good Teammate, but also insult her own Black Feathers as dumb as sheep.
- In the anime finale, she rains on Touka and Nemu's redemption parade by marking her return with a Macross Missile Massacre against their own Black Feathers.
Kill All Humans: In the anime finale, her Evil Plan is to wipe out humanity not by murder, but by placing then in a Fate Worse than Death in which her Doppel corrupts all of them into becoming Witches.
Knight of Cerebus: While the Amane twins are our first look at the Wings of Magius, and Tsukuyo's use of Doppel is slightly intimidating after Iroha's use of Giovanna caused a ruckus, they were quickly demoted to Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain who get pushed around by the heroes. Alina, on the other hand, menaces the heroes the same way Yuuri did with the Pleiades Saints; cunning traps, dangerous skills, inability to hold back, and foul temperament.
Lack of Empathy: In the anime finale, she doesn't care about the Black Feathers she indiscriminately hits with her cubes or the humans she tries to condemn into Witchification.
Large Ham: The girl really likes her theatrics, physical and verbal. Just listen to her Evil Laugh when she uses her Magia.
Les Collaborateurs: In the anime finale, she sells out her Magical Girl brethren and her own planet to Kyubey, a Starfish Alien who's been exploiting them for millennia.
Loving a Shadow: Her obsession with Mifuyu boils down to this. She's drawn to the latter's "perfect body" and uses it for art inspiration, but doesn't care about Mifuyu's personality or ideals.
Macross Missile Massacre: Alina can indiscriminately fire her light cubes en masse as missiles.
Mad Artist: She calls her Doppel 'beautiful' or 'cute' and seems to decorate her personal barrier with the trophies she took from magical girls she had captured.
- She didn't start that way, though. She was doing perfectly fine making art for art's sake, until a letter from a critic she'd snubbed made her realize her works had no real purpose behind them. That epiphany, plus the thought that that if she didn't find a purpose she'd lose all her talent, freaked her out so much that she snapped. So she decided to create her magnum opus: destroy her previous works, throw herself off a tall building, and record her body hitting the ground and rotting away - as the most profound art an artist who is fascinated by death can produce is the utter end of the artist.
- In the anime, this proves to be a Fatal Flaw. Not only was she part of the Magius only as an artistic project despite being a crucial member, but in the anime finale she is willing to turn all humanity into Witches and sell out every Magical Girl to Kyubey if it’s to satisfy her own artistic vision.
Mass Super-Empowering Event: A rare villainous variant. In the anime finale, the whole point in giving all humanity Magical Girls powers is that their unawareness of Grief Seeds will cause them all to witch out.
Meaningful Name: Her first name "Alina" means "bright" or "light", referring to her bright-colored hair, the light the color in her artistic work is dependent on, and her light construct cubes.
Minor Major Character: In the anime, her screentime decreases between the time she is revealed to be part of the Magius trio and her betrayal of Touka and Nemu.
Moment Killer: In the anime finale, she crashes Touka and Nemu's Heel–Face Turn party with Iroha by throwing her own cubes on the Black Feathers... and this was just after Iroha said "Nothing's gonna come between us ever again".
Moral Myopia: In the anime, Alina is disgusted by being tricked into a contract that would doom her to become a Witch to the point of stomping Kyubey with her feet the second he confirms he fact, but that doesn't stop her from imposing that same fate onto all of humanity in the anime finale.
More Hateable Minor Villain: Despite being partly Demoted to Extra in the anime, she is equal parts worse there. She not only lacks any genuine understanding of altruistic goals despite being a leader of an organization built on them, she is unlike Touka and Nemu a sociopathic Dirty Coward with Chronic Backstabbing Disorder whose contrived finale Diabolus ex Machina exists to prove that she will go way further than the two by hypocritically consigning billions of humans and Magical Girls into the trauma of becoming Witches. The main reason she is not a Hate Sink is because of the unintended side-effects of compressing the lengthy storylines of Arc 1 into an anime format.
Narcissist: As she reveals to Mifuyu, she has only cared about her own artistic vision from the day she joined the Magius. This eventually builds up to the point where, in the anime finale, she attempts genocide on humans just to create some art she wants to be remembered for, with zero remorse to boot, and even in the afterlife she still cares only about her own art.
Never Bareheaded: Played with. She starts with her hat already formed while otherwise naked during her Transformation Sequence. She always wears her hat while transformed, though it can be shot off as seen in anime Season 1 Episode 10.
Never Found the Body: She disappears after Nemu defeats her in Chapter 10, and pretty much everyone would rather she stay that way. In Part 2, she turns out to have survived and has been laying low in Hokuyo Ward. Magia Report used her uncertain fate for a recurring storyline where Alina hangs out with Kanae, Mel, Kuro and Hanna (who're all dead).
Nightmare Fetishist: Her grandparents and dog died when she was 8 and their deaths fascinated her, as she didn't understand what it meant to die. Her career from that point until a year before the start of the story was an exploration of life and death. When she received a letter from a critic of her work that disparaged her works as 'empty' and 'having no theme', working only to unsettle people until her niche was no longer popular, she decided to destroy her previous works and kill herself for her art.
- Witches attract her pretty much for the same reason. She admires the design of a familiar made of wrapping paper, and decides to make art out of its remains.
No Honor Among Thieves: Alina is loyal to nothing but her own Mad Artist ideals, and her Dirty Coward attitude is what hinders Touka and Nemu in the Chelation Fenthope battle. The only reason Touka and Nemu are able to hold back against Team Mikazuki Villa and the Holy Quintet without Alina's help is because of Holy Mami's massive musket blitzkrieg.
No Ontological Inertia: Alina’s barrier collapses in the anime finale once she becomes a witch.
Not in This for Your Revolution: Alina's actual motive for joining the Magius was never to liberate Magical Girls, but rather for a failed search for an artistic vision. Also, her plan to turn all humanity and Magical Girls into Witches proves that point.
Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her anime counterpart is a rare example of this in the franchise (unlike Kyubey, numerous Witches, and others). Despite being the one who created the Doppel barrier as part of the Magius' mission to stop Kyubey from turning her fellow Magical Girls into Witches, she is in reality not a genuine believer in such goals and in the finale has no qualms about trying to turn all humanity and Magical Girls into Witches for no reason other than her own artistic vision.
Pet the Dog: How she treats Karin is a lot better than how she treats everyone else. This is, however, not the case in the anime.
Precision F-Strike: When Alina fuses together with Embryo Eve in the last episode of the anime, the resulting Witch runes that splash across the screen read "NEO DOROTHY MOTHERFUCKER".
Pride: In the anime, her pride proves to be a Fatal Flaw. She is willing to put her own twisted artistic vision above everything else, even if it means blinding herself to all the good her Doppel barrier did for the Magical Girls by saving from witching out, to the point that she genuinely believes that dooming all humanity into becoming Witches will serve her purpose.
Promoted to Playable: On March 2, 2018, to promote her and Hinano's Training Event.
Psychopathic Manchild: She is a prideful, unstable Blood Knight with a Berserk Button for losing.
Sadist: She is prone to excitement and even blushing while talking about hurting and killing others.
Sanity Slippage: In the anime finale, her sanity takes a nosedive as she lets her own Doppel dominate her in order to wipe out humanity. Not to mention she sadistically embraces her own witching-out.
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In the anime, she decides against involving herself in Touka and Nemu's battle because her intention of joining the Magius didn't match her artistic vision, to Mifuyu's disgust.
Self-Disposing Villain: In the anime finale, she gleefully sheds her own humanity by fusing herself into her own Doppel as part of her Evil Plan to turn all humanity into witches, putting redemption out of the question and leaving Iroha and company with no choice but to destroy her.
Seven Deadly Sins: In the anime, she displays all seven of them.
- Envy: She is disgusted with having to compete with Mami for authority in the Magius, to the point where she's implied she had Touka and Nemu brainwash her into Holy Mami.
- Gluttony: In the season three premiere, she violently kicks a vending machine and calls it "stupid" due to being unable to get a small carton of strawberry milk from it. Oh, and in the anime finale, she manages to "eat" Embryo Eve and tries to do the same for Walpurgisnacht, all to get enough power to turn all humanity into Witches.
- Greed: She desires a lot of praise for her art, a fact demonstrated by a series of art exhibition posters clandestinely containing Magius recruitment propaganda and her demands of gratitude towards everyone for being turned into Witches for her Mad Artist ideals in the anime finale.
- Lust: She has sadistic pleasure in causing pain and suffering, whether it's trying to kill her enemies or making an eleven-year-old girl's painfully Witchified body spew out High-Pressure Blood.
- Pride: Her Mad Artist pride is what keeps her from empathizing with the heroic principles behind Touka and Nemu's salvation of Magical Girls and what motivates her to doom the Earth by turning all humanity into Witches.
- Sloth: Upon realizing that Touka and Nemu's plan to save Magical Girls isn't in line with her Mad Artist vision, she refuses to even help Touka and Nemu gear up for their Chelation Fenthope battle against Team Mikazuki Villa and the Holy Quintet. She is even seen lazily laying back while Touka preaches the Magius' salvation, with one scene having some manga volumes scattered around her.
- Wrath: She will easily vent her anger towards anyone who threatens her, and even brags that her anime finale Evil Plan will provoke the anger of all Magical Girls.
Shadow Archetype: To Felicia. Both of them are overexcited, unfettered Blood Knights and the Token Evil Teammate of their teams. While Felicia finally joins Team Mikazuki Villa after spending time as a mercenary, Alina is a traitorous psychopath who turns against Touka and Nemu after their Heel–Face Turn. In other words, she is Felicia if she was on the black end of the moral spectrum.
Shout-Out:
- Her surname Gray refers to the main character of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Both of them start out corrupted by other influences into decadence, make a Deal with the Devil regarding their art, and attempt suicide due to issues with their art.
- The name of Alina's Magia and personal Memoria refer to the nine stages of decay theme in Buddhist art, referred in Japan as kusōzu.
The Sociopath: In the anime, Alina's personality is akin to that of a low-functioning sociopath. She is an Ax-Crazy sadist who doesn't care about others, let alone Touka and Nemu's goal for saving Magical Girls from the despair of witching out, essentially uses the entire Wings of the Magius as pawns for her own Mad Artist tastes, and in the finale has no problem throwing her own planet under the bus by turning all humanity and Magical Girls into Witches.
So Long, Suckers!: In the anime, Alina gives Mifuyu an "Arrivederci" as she ditches Touka and Nemu.
The Starscream: Is revealed to be this following Iroha's successful rescue of Ui in Chapter 10 or Touka and Nemu's Heel–Face Turn in the anime finale.
Starving Artist: A slight subversion from what the trope usually entails in that Alina is actually doing well for herself, but she tends to get so focused in her work that she forgets to eat or holds it off as long as possible. From her log-ins, it seems she takes a siesta at noon, works in her gallery from evening, and only comes out of her gallery in the morning when she feels that she almost dies from thirst.
Start of Darkness: The finale of Arc 2 reveals her mortality obsession was sparked when she witnessed her dog’s death.
Stocking Filler: Holds up her fishnet/fur stockings with garters in her magical girl form.
Stupid Evil: Alina should've tried to corrupt as many Magical Girls as possible with her Doppel just like she did the Anonymous AI first instead of going straight to trying to do the same with all of humanity, then she would have no one to stop her.
Surrounded by Idiots: In the anime, while telling Mifuyu she's leaving the Magius, she laments that the Black Feathers are as stupid as sheep.
Symbol Motif Clothing: She and the other leaders of the Wings of Magius share a prison motif. Alina is the "warden" of the Prison, who befittingly creates the barrier that allows Touka's power to spread and simply cause Magical Girls to create Doppels instead of Witches, and Nemu's power to create Rumors.
Taking You with Me: In the anime finale, Alina wastes no strength in using her last moments as a Magical Girl to sell the others out to Kyubey by shattering the Doppel barrier once she becomes a Witch to turn all humanity into Witches.
Teens Are Monsters: She is the Magius' sole teenager and their nastiest too.
That Man Is Dead: In the anime finale, spends the last moments as a Magical Girl by discarding her own humanity in the nastiest way possible: by callously yelling out "Ciao, Alina Gray!" as she lets her own Doppel engulf her so that she may turn all humanity into Witches.
Third-Person Person: Frequently refers to herself as Alina.
Token Evil Teammate:
- She is the most sadistic of the Magius, and by the end of the Magius arc proves to have no qualms with trying to annihilate humanity if Touka and Nemu are redeemed (whether in the game or the anime).
- Her anime counterpart is essentially this for every Big Bad in the franchise, having no loved ones, altrustic motives, or any sign of a Freudian Excuse that isn't invalidated by the worst of her crimes (While she shares the same tragic fate as almost every Magical Girl, being unwittingly tricked by a empathy-lacking Starfish Alien into a contract in which they would eventually succumb to despair and turn into Witches, none of them are shown to go to the unusually depraved lengths that she reaches by the anime finale).
Too Dumb to Live: In the anime finale, Alina stupidly lets her own Mad Artist pride get the best of her to the point that she gleefully lets herself succumb to Doppel Syndrome in order to wipe out humanity, and it ultimately costs her her life when Iroha defeats her.
Took a Level in Jerkass: Alina appears supposedly loyal to the Wings of the Magius from the time she appears in the anime, but throughout the second half of the anime she starts to prove herself a Dirty Coward uncaring about their well-intentioned goals, and her narcissism starts building up so much that she's willing to not just turn all humanity into Witches just to make art, but also embrace her transformation as the Witch that will do the dirty work.
Alina: Ciao, goody-goodies! Ciao, Magius! Ciao, Alina Gray!
Took a Level in Kindness: During the end of Arc 2, she redeems herself with Karin's encouragement and takes a safer approach to her art.
Traitor Shot: In the anime's first season finale, the camera stares at Alina's eyes as she sinisterly smiles outside under the moonlight in the balcony of Hotel Fenthope, alluding to her betrayal of Touka and Nemu in season 2 and eventually her betrayal of all humanity and all Magical Girls to the Witch cycle in the anime finale.
Treachery Is a Special Kind of Evil:
- In the anime finale, Alina's unfettered betrayal of her own planet, which is done by causing billions of people to become Witches, proves to be the final straw for all Magical Girls, who she also betrays by letting her own Doppel barrier collapse.
- Also, if the look on Mifuyu's face has anything to say, she is completely unamused about Alina's betrayal of Touka and Nemu, horrible to them as the two were to Mifuyu a minute earlier.
Trumplica: For a Magical Girl, Alina Gray sure takes a lot of pages out of the Donald's book. She is the blondish (lime-green) hamtastic, narcissistic leader of the Wings of the Magius, an Apocalypse Cult with some right-wing populist undertones, and she is a last-minute corruptive influence of the Wings of the Magius, having effectively encouraged Touka and Nemu to consider humans as less important than Magical Girls and sacrifice them for the Magius' salvation of Magical Girls. Also, she is the daughter of Vicariously Ambitious gallery owners who enabled her Mad Artist tendencies (that is, the Art of the Deal), and her Barrier Warrior abilities are reminiscent of the Trump wall. It's also telling that the game was released on the same year Trump became president.
Tyrant Takes the Helm: When Ui disappears from Touka and Nemu's memory, Alina takes her place and effectively frees the duo to engage in morally questionable deeds Ui's sister Iroha would never have approved of, particularly magical girl supremacy and mass murder.
The Unfettered: In the anime, nothing stops Alina from achieving her own twisted vision of art, not even the risk of condemning billions of people to the suffering that comes with the final fate of all Magical Girls.
Ungrateful Bastard: In the anime. Although Touka and Nemu granted her the ability to summon her Doppel instead of witching out, with Alina herself even going as far as to create the Doppel barrier herself, she makes it clear that she could care less about anything but her art or even the two being betrayed to the Witch cycle when her barrier collapses.
Verbal Tic: Not only does she pepper her speech with English words and refer to herself in third person, the copulas (desu, kedo, kara) in her dialogue are also written in katakana, implying that she has a slight accent.
Villainous Breakdown: In episode 10, when Team Mikazuki Villa get the Magnet Uwasa destroyed, she loses her temper and sics several Witches onto them.
Villainous Rescue: In the climax of Chapter 8, Touka and Nemu have Iroha and Sana on their mercy, but Alina interferes so they can feed Iroha to Eve as a last taunt. The distraction gives Sana the time to use her invisibility and wait for the right moment to chase after the Magius, while also leaving the exact location of the Magius HQ for their friends.
Villainous Valour: She displays immense courage in fighting her enemies no matter how powerful they are, even going as far as to goad Iroha and friends into fighting the Magius despite Touka insisting on stalling them. The anime, in contrast, shows that she will flat out retreat whenever she has a bigger fish to fry.
Virtue Is Weakness: In the anime, Alina couldn't care less about the salvation of magical girls, extremist or not. She even calls many of the Magical Girls she fought "goodie-goodies" as though it were an insult.
Voice of the Legion: In the anime finale, her voice displays a deep, ominous echo as she lets her own Doppel engulf her and Embryo Eve.
Weapon-Based Characterization: Her use of cubes to imprison things within labyrinths emphasizes her domineering warden-like personality.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She's shifted the focus of her art from the beauty of destruction to the beauty of the struggle to live. Her new art has given hope to many troubled souls.
Would Hurt a Child: In the anime finale, she not only plans to turn every human into Witches, but also makes Embryo Eve (the 11-year-old Ui's mutated body) bleed gallons by merging herself and her Doppel with her, and afterwards betrays every Magical Girl (even Touka and Nemu, who are both eleven) to Kyubey by letting her Doppel barrier collapse when she becomes a Witch.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In the anime, when Anonymous AI Rumor turns against the Magius, Alina promptly decides to use her Doppel to mortally wound AI in retribution. Later, she tells Mifuyu that she's severing ties with the Wings of the Magius because she decided that Touka and Nemu's methods of liberating Magical Girls didn't fit her artistic vision, and the only way she finds them or humanity useful is by turning all of them into witches for art.

Touka Satomi

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Japanese), Michelle Marie (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/satomi_touka_04.jpg

"The probability of people meeting each other is actually really low. So our meeting might be fate."

"Hm? What? Do I need to say something? Time is valuable to geniuses, but I'll indulge you just this once. I'm Touka Satomi. I'm actually pretty famous, as I've authored books in the field of astronomy. My family is in the medical field so I know a lot about the human body, too! Let me know if you have any questions!"

A Magical Girl who is working to create a world without Witches. The daughter, and patient, of the director of the Satomi Medical Center, Touka is an astrophysics prodigy. Surrounded by a wall of gadgets and devices, she continues to research her one dream... to know everything about the universe. One of Ui's old friends and one of the three leaders of the Wings of Magius.

A Child Shall Lead Them: Despite being a young child, she's the driving force behind the Wings of Magius and is the one who directs most of their plans.
Acting Your Intellectual Age: While Touka definitely attempts to do this, her level of success is pretty variable. In her first appearance outside of Iroha's flashbacks, she comes across as aloof, sophisticated, and very much in control during her interactions with characters considerably older than herself. At other times, though, she very much behaves with a child's maturity level. She loves stuffed animals, gets into an argument with one of her hospital roommates over a game just because she believes that she's too smart to lose, and in her dialogue as a playable character, she uses the fact that she's more powerful then most other magical girls to "prove" that she's basically an adult.
Arbitrarily Large Bank Account: Touka's family is filthy rich. So much that she helps Mami rent a house. She's also the one who helped Mifuyu escaped her home by giving her a scholarship from her family's medical organization.
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Becomes an Uwasa Queen in the final chapter of Arc 2, and follows Iroha when she ascends.
Bad Boss: In the anime, she sees Holy Mami no more than a useful tool and has no problem leaving her for dead in the Memory Museum's collapse.
Big Bad: She's the head honcho of the Magius and the main antagonist of Arc 1.
Big Damn Heroes: Comes back as a Uwasa Queen in Chapter 12 of Arc 2 and saves the majority of the cast from the Mirror Witch’s corruption by turning them into Usawa.
Big Sister Worship: While she isn't really related to her, Iroha is one of the very few grownups Touka genuinely respects and admires and as such, is always pleasant to her. After regaining her memories of her and Ui, regrets how much she hurt her during the events of Arc 1 prior to remembering them.
Born Winner: Not only she's the only daughter of an incredibly rich hospital director, she's also a certified astrologer, medical scientist, physicist and mathematician at the age of 11. Her karma is large enough that she can make a wish that take a third of Kyubey's function. As a magical girl, she regularly beats everyone because her personal magic essentially makes her Soul Gem never get corrupted. Literally the only thing that holds her back is her illness, which isn't a problem anymore after she became a magical girl.
Cast from Lifespan: In contrast to her personal magic, which lets her access almost infinite amounts of magic without clouding her Soul Gem, her Doppel burns matches which represent Touka's lifespan. Once Pennen Nolde's matches have all been burned up, Touka will die.
Child Prodigy: For a grade-schooler, Touka has a lot of deep knowledge regarding astronomy, physics, and medical science. Then she uses that knowledge to manipulate her magic into a realm that is close to the Incubators', something that not even the Pleiades Saints were capable of. She's basically on equal grounds against a Sufficiently Advanced Alien in term of intelligence.
Creepy Child: Downplayed, but she dips into this at times. Especially when she casually talks about brainwashing.
- In Arc 2, she casually stated that she doesn't care about the casualties and deaths caused by the Magius to other cities, enough to make Shizuka dumbfounded and Yuna cry.
Daddy's Girl: She adores her father, calling him "papa-sama." When Iroha asks Touka if she'd even be willing to sacrifice her beloved father for her plans, she does not take it well. While it doesn't come up as much, she also immensely adores her mother and gives her similar respect, she just gives more of it to her father for how much work he put into treating her and Nemu's illnesses.
Death by Adaptation: Attempts a Doppel suicide bombing in Season 3 of the anime, together with Nemu, to bring down the amalgamation made of Alina, Old Dorothy and Embryo Eve. Both of them failed to kill it in the end.
Death by Despair: According to Ultimate Madoka's MSS, in every other timeline besides the one seen in Magia Record the heartbreak from seeing both Ui and Nemu die one after the other is said to have greatly weakened her body, and she dies shortly afterward.
De-power: As punishment for her actions as one of the Magius, she's forced to put on a bracelet that prevents her from transforming upon penalty of death.
Evil Redhead: She has chestnut red hair and is a major antagonist.
Evil Virtues: Love. Touka's faults do not extent to hating her parents, whom she adores.
Fantastic Racism: She believes in the supremacy of Magical Girls over regular humans, which makes her more willing to sacrifice them for the sake of Magical Girls. In Part 2, she tells Yuna that she still has some belief in this, but she doesn't act on it because it would upset Iroha and Ui.
Fiction 500: Satomi Medical Group is ridiculously rich, and it enables Touka with a lot of questionably decadent things like having her personal radio telescope, giving good lodging for the girls she 'kidnapped' like Mifuyu and Mami, and setting up her own computer server to send out radio wave that beamed the Magius invitation to Kamihama into magical girls' head.
Freudian Trio: She was part of one with Ui and their friend Nemu at the hospital. Touka was the id.
Girls Love Stuffed Animals: One of the shots in the opening is her, Mifuyu, and Alina in a field of teddy bears, with a closeup of Touka cuddling a blue one.
Hate Sink: When initially introduced as a condescending villain. This fades away later, as more focus is placed on aspects like her relationships with the people she loves, her willingness to sacrifice herself for her beliefs, and her belief in Santa.
The Heavy: While the three Magius are equal as leaders in-theory, a lot of the Magius' plan only work because Touka does a lot of legwork; she plans their schemes, she funds their operation, her power creates the Doppels, and she's the one who breaks the heroes' group.
Heel–Face Turn: After getting back her memories of Ui and Iroha in Chapter 10, she immediately goes to Iroha's aid along with Nemu. After the defeat of Walpurgisnacht she's still firmly on Iroha's side.
Insufferable Genius: She's not only a genius, but knows that she's a genius and doesn't hesitate to rub it in. However, her belief in her own intelligence tends to be her greatest flaw; she rarely considers the possibility that any part of her plans can fail.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's condescending and has limited empathy, but genuinely cares for and loves Nemu, her father and mother, Ui, and Iroha without exception.
Little Professor Dialogue: Although other characters in the game are portrayed as being very intelligent and interested in science, Touka is the only one who speaks this way regularly. It's possible that she may do it deliberately, as she is both prideful enough to want to show off her (genuinely pretty formidable) intelligence, and immature enough not to realize that this doesn't actually impress others. In the descriptions for her memoria, which are written from her perspective, Touka sounds unusually thoughtful and introspective for a child without using nearly as much jargon.
Meaningful Name:
- Her first name Touka "灯花" means "lamp flower", referring to her Doppel Pennen Nolde being a flower whose petals are matches.
- Her last name Satomi "里見" means "looking at the village", referring to her supervisory role over the Wings of the Magius (the village).
Monster Progenitor: She implies that the Doppels are the result of her personal magic. The detail about her power implies that she subdues the explosion that comes with the transformation of Soul Gem into Grief Seed so the Soul Gem won't shatter as the Witch / Doppel vents its Soul Gem's taint out in a more controlled stream.
My God, What Have I Done?: Discussed. Even after getting her memories back, she can't bring herself to regret trying to save Magical Girls. Her only real regrets are putting Ui and Iroha in harm's way.
- Her relation with her uncle, and thus with her cousin, wasn't always affable. Because her uncle wrote about magical girls, Touka, who looks up to her doctor father, demeaned his life work for chasing after fairytales instead of dedicating himself to science. Not only Touka found out that magical girls are very much real, her uncle went MIA during one of his field work and Nayuta blames her mocking for his disappearance. When Nayuta expresses her resentment, Touka has no smartass retort.
Parasol of Pain: She uses a parasol to float around the battlefield and fires energy beams in her attack animation. Her ability to use it as a Parasol Parachute is also shown in the anime.
Perpetual-Motion Monster: Her specific power is energy conversion. She uses it by converting stagnant energy in the environment to magic that she uses instead from her Soul Gem, thus her Soul Gem never clouds no matter how much magic she uses.
Pet the Dog: In her sidestory, Touka fusses over Mifuyu when she gets sick. Based on the next scene, it's implied that this is because Touka subconsciously replaces the hole Iroha left behind with Mifuyu. When Touka starts to disregard Mifuyu's words and goes to get Mifuyu eaten by Eve, this is shown as a reaction of Touka subconsciously realizing that Mifuyu is a poor man's substitute of Iroha and rejecting her influence.
Promoted to Playable: In March 2019.
Reality Warping: Aside the fact she uses her magic to reuse background energy with full conversion efficiency, her Doppel's own power is the ability to grant any "What-Ifs". It uses a set of matches made from Touka's lifespan, and when it lights one of them, any "What-If" imaginable can be granted, which in-game is used to call down a meteorite shower from space. The only limitations of this power are that it relies on Touka's imagination to create a "What-If", and that the number of matches is limited; once all the matches have been used, Touka dies.
Reformed, but Not Tamed: After her Heel–Face Turn, her intentions are largely aligned with Iroha. However, in her methods she's the same Well-Intentioned Extremist schemer who founded the Wings of Magius.
Samaritan Syndrome: What drove her in the anime. The Magius was astonished by how weak the average magical girls that joins their group are, and after listening to their voices and how many of them have already given up, it drove her crazy to the point she praised Nemu for hiding the truth about Ui and Iroha from her because Nemu was right, before now she might have actually listened to Iroha and stop the plan.
Symbol Motif Clothing: She and the other leaders of the Wings of Magius share a prison motif. Touka represents the "jail", with her dress looking like the bars of the Jail. Befittingly, her power allows her to keep Magical Girls "trapped" as Magical Girls and never transforming into Witches, only releasing a Doppel instead of a Witch should the conditions be met.
Too Clever by Half: Touka is brilliant as a scientist and leader but her immaturity prevents her from considering all the consequences and her arrogance prevents her from acknowledging this flaw. Therefore when she fails, she fails hard. The anime shows this nicely in a flashback - she's able to build a perpetual motion machine but fails to consider that building a working train powered by coal in a room full of books might be a spectacularly bad idea.
Token Mini-Moe: The youngest-looking member of the Wings of Magius.
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Nemu.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Having ascended to the same plane of existence as Iroha and Ui, she works to edit the records of Magical Girls together with Nemu. She's looking for ways to help Magical Girls using the power of Uwasa.

Nemu Hiiragi

Voiced by: Sumire Morohoshi (Japanese), Mela Lee (English)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nemu_4_star_art.jpg

"Oh, you're here. Now's a good time for me to take a break from writing. I don't have anything interesting to talk about, but we can chat."

"Nemu Hiiragi, a Magical Girl who spends her time spinning stories. I don't associate with those who don't know me, but it might be fate that we met. Who knows, we might get along. Oh, but you may find what I say to be extremely boring since I've only recently left the hospital where I spent the better part of my life."

A Magical Girl who is working to create a world without Witches. Nemu started writing stories just trying to seek some approval, but it wasn't until she posted those same stories online that she became known as a literary genius. Her dream is to wrap up the world in her stories... literally. One of Ui's old friends and one of the three leaders of the Wings of Magius.

Adaptational Dumbass: In the anime's third season, she has no problem with activating the Doppel system even after Iroha warns her that it is defective and counterproductive, and it actually shows with the Magical Girls contracting Doppel Syndrome when Embryo Eve is awakened. This never happened in the original Arc 1.
Adaptational Heroism: In the anime, season 2 reveals she still has her memories of Iroha, and assigns Kuroe to find her and the Rumour of the Eternal Sakura. She also questions Touka's more morally corrupt actions while in the game she went along with everything up to and including brainwashing and murder.
Affably Evil: Compared to Touka, who even in non-hostile interaction is very condescending, Nemu comes across as a polite and patient, if quiet, girl whose scheme just happens to include murder. She's just rude toward Touka. For example, at the end of Chapter 8, she's actually willing to hear Iroha out when Iroha tries to prove Ui's existence, as opposed to Touka who just wanted to get rid of her and be done with it.
A Lighter Shade of Black: Although she's still on-board with Touka's salvation plan, she's much kinder to the Feathers beneath her and is actually willing to hear the heroes out instead of immediately attacking them like Alina or Touka. This is taken further in the anime, likely because Nemu regains her memories of Iroha early, leading to her actively questioning Touka's more extreme methods and sending Kuroe on a mission to find the Eternal Sakura and rescue Iroha.
Aloof Older Brother: An inverted example. Nemu's younger brother is very distant and cold towards her, despite being a normal energetic boy otherwise. Nemu supposes that its because since she's spent most of her brother's life in the hospital, he doesn't have much of a bond with her and only sees her as someone who takes away his mother's attention.
Apologetic Attacker: She apologizes to Mifuyu in Episode 19 before subduing her attempt to rescue Tsuruno.
Art Initiates Life: Iroha, regaining some of her memories, remembers that the Rumors that Nemu makes are actually based on Ui's drawings.
Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Becomes an Uwasa Queen in the final chapter of Arc 2, and follows Iroha when she ascends.
Big Damn Heroes: Comes back as a Uwasa Queen in Chapter 12 of Arc 2 and saves the majority of the cast from the Mirror Witch’s corruption by turning them into Usawa.
Big Sister Worship: Like Ui and Touka, she holds Iroha in high regard and loves her just as the other two do despite not being related to her. She also regrets having hurt her during the events of Arc 1 after regaining her memories of her and Ui.
- Season 2 of the anime has her refer to Iroha as her big sister, revealing she still has her memories of her, and assigns Kuroe to find her.
Cast from Lifespan: The Rumors, as they take a chunk out of Nemu's life force when she creates them. It left her a permanent disability when she overuses it in the final battle.
Chained by Fashion: Has a shackle on her left ankle.
Child Prodigy: Nemu is a literary genius, and can hold her ground against Touka in a debate.
Deadpan Snarker: She's a pretty sharp tongue, with Touka being her usual target especially when she's throwing tantrums.
Death by Adaptation: Attempts a Doppel suicide bombing in Season 3 of the anime, together with Touka, to bring down the amalgamation made of Alina, Old Dorothy and Embryo Eve. Both of them failed to kill it in the end.
De-power: As punishment for her actions as one of the Magius, she's forced to put on a bracelet that prevents her from transforming upon penalty of death.
Desperately Craves Affection: Nemu has an implicit fear of being forgotten and unloved, as implied by her homescreen quotes and her desire to "leave a mark on the world". This is further stated in her personal story and memoria.
What was I hoping for? What did I want? A newly released novel? An out-of-print book that sounded interesting? New clothes for a change of image? No, no, no. Those are all wrong. I just want to be told I'm loved. It's so close and yet so far. That is all I want.
Freudian Trio: She was part of one with Ui and Touka at the hospital. Nemu was the superego.
Heel–Face Turn: After getting back her memories of Ui and Iroha in Chapter 10, she immediately goes to Iroha's aid. She remains firmly on Iroha's side after Walpurgisnacht is defeated.
Heroic RRoD: In Chapter 10, she goes all out in her fight with Holy Alina, summons a bunch of Rumors which take nearly all her life force. After the fight, she ends up in a comatose state. She gets better at the end of Chapter 10, but lost the use of her legs.
Innocently Insensitive: Nemu's mother, in an attempt to connect her daughter with her not-always-being-there family, unwittingly boasts that the Hiiragi are athletic in front of three terminally ill girls. Touka complains about it, but Nemu forgives her because she understands that her mother has no ill will.
Jock Dad, Nerd Son: The Hiiragi are athletes by nature, while Nemu is both bookish and sickly. These factors are among why Nemu often has distance from her family, and after she made her wish and become more athletic, becoming just bookish, she and her family get along better. Being crippled throws this progress away.
Meaningful Name:
- Her given name "Nemu" means sleep in Japanese. Overusing her power to create Rumors causes her to gain narcolepsy.
- Her surname Hiiragi "柊" refers to the holly osmanthus and comes from the archaic verb "疼ぐ/hīragu", which means "to hurt with a stinging pain"; this and the holly osmanthus' spiny thorns in turn refers to how draining her creation of Uwasa is on her life.
Monster Progenitor: Nemu reveals in Chapter 7 that she created the Rumors.
My God, What Have I Done?: Discussed. Even after getting her memories back, Nemu doesn't regret trying to bring Magical Girls salvation. She lampshades this herself, saying that while there are many who would want her and Touka to feel crushing sadness, it won't help solve the problems at hand. Her dialogue as she's falling after defeating Holy Alina, fully believing she's about to die, indicates that she does feel deep remorse for her actions, though.
Nice to the Waiter: Nemu treats the Feathers with a significantly more kindness than Touka and Alina. She refuses to be treated formally, rewards them generously when they do a good job, doesn't punish them for understandable mistakes, protects them when needed, and feels immense sorrow when they died in their service. The reason why she creates the Uwasa that is attached to Kagome is because of the sadness knowing that magical girls died without anyone knowing their deeds.
Sparing Them the Dirty Work: In the anime, she deliberately hide the truth of Ui and Iroha because she's afraid Touka might stop her plan otherwise. Touka praised her for this, because she admitted there's a chance she really would have stopped - which is a big admission coming from someone as arrogant as Touka.
Spell Book: She fights by summoning Rumors from her spellbook.
Suicide Attack: Attempted this on Holy Alina and succeeded, albeit at the cost of her legs being unusable.
Symbol Motif Clothing: She and the other leaders of the Wings of Magius share a prison motif. Nemu is the "prisoner", with the chain around her leg. Befittingly, her power allows her to create Rumors, the prisoners who are meant to take the Witches place in the Magius's plans.
Summon Magic: Nemu uses her Rumors to fight in battle.
The Consigliere: To Touka, questioning her on how they're willing to harm magical girls and even some of their own if they aren't devoted enough to the cause.
Villainous RRoD: She's prone to this due to her magic being Cast from Lifespan; overusing her magic causes her to have seizures and to eventually lose the use of her legs. In the anime this is more pronounced; when she summons Kuroe she states that she's on the verge of death, and later is shown in a wheelchair much earlier in the plot than she had it in-game.
Villainous Friendship: At this point, while she still hold Ui and Iroha in high regards, she's more of a friend to Touka and who she's become after losing the memories of the other two.
Vitriolic Best Buds: With Touka.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: Having ascended to a higher plane of existence along with Iroha and Ui, she works with Touka to edit the records of Magical Girls, researching methods of using Uwasa to help them.
Wise Beyond Their Years: For an 11 year old child, Nemu is very contemplative and has a good grasp on the more philosophical, abstract topics.

Event Variants

Holy Alina

Voiced by: Ayana Taketatsu

"Do you see the essence of Alina's beauty?! Here, look deeper! Deeper! Deeper still!"

"North, south, east, and west... I see people frozen from the bitter cold in every direction. I, Alina, will warm them just as the Rumor describes, and I will do so with the fine reindeer furs I wear... But be warned. In exchange for my warmth, I will be taking some years off your life."

A Magical Girl dressed in her own art, based on the nature of mankind. In order to gather the energy needed for this form, she warms those with frozen hearts in exchange for years off their life. She also creates a death mask of her target, but that's just an unrelated artistic pursuit. Having dressed herself with the Uwasa of the Fur God, Alina seeks to spread her art to all of humanity, whether they want it or not.

Accidental Hero: Is planning to take her target's body heat and potentially killing them in the process, but somehow ends up helping someone instead, much to her dismay. By the end point of the event, she has become a heroic rumor herself after capturing a serial bomber.
Bored with Insanity: In Holy Alina's sidestory, it is revealed that after the regular Alina's sidestory, she indeed went on with her Mad Artist stints - until she realized that she still doesn't feel fulfillment from the things she thinks she likes doing.
Card-Carrying Villain: Uses "Black Cards" to select her target, akin to a Phantom Thief.
Final Boss: In the final chapter of the first Main Story arc, she is the first of a trio of final bosses alongside Eve and Walpurgisnacht.
Foil: Appearance-wise to Holy Mami, since both of them are Uwasa-empowered Christmas-themed variants. The key difference between them is while Holy Mami is based on traditional Christmas, Holy Alina is instead based on pagan Christmas.
Light Is Not Good: Despite being dressed in white, she's anything but holy.
Not So Similar: During Chapter 10, she tries to sway Kanagi by saying that they both seek Kamihama City's destruction. Kanagi refuses since she sees destroying the city as a last resort method to end the city's class conflict while Alina sees destruction as an end goal rather than a method.
Omnicidal Maniac: She's more than willing to commit genocide on the world by using Eve as her "paintbrush" out of believing that humanity is asking for it. Even Kanagi and Mitama disagree with this.
One-Winged Angel: Alina ends up using the Fur God as a power-up, despite knowing the danger, as a last resort to fight against the alliance of Kamihama Magical Girls. She fuses with the Uwasa, and then proceeds to fuse with Eve so she can finally become the "brush" to paint world with destruction.
Power at a Price: Is wearing a rumor which grants her great power, but at the cost of sapping her body heat. She compensates it by absorbing other people's heat... Or she would, were it not for so many interferences.
Symbolic Blood: She appears to decorate herself with paints that looks a lot like gore if the color is red. The masks on her skirt are in the same color as the Mikazuki Villa girls, so it appears that she beheads them and wears their shrunken heads as accessories. Her 5* card has her paint coagulates and on the floor like her own disemboweled intestines. Her appearance during Chapter 10, when she overuses the Uwasa she fused with, is akin of her bleeding profusely from her head.
Temporary Online Content: Exclusive to the Christmas event gacha.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: In her sidestory, she found out that maybe she doesn't want to be The Sociopath. So she confided with Karin and got another one of Karin's Unwitting Instigator of Doom advice. Because of it, Alina comes to believe that she has to contribute to the society. She tested her museum audience with a social experiment using one of her art installation to discover humanity's true desire. Unfortunately, the conclusion she takes is that Humans Are Bastards, and thus she has to deliver them apocalypse.
What Happened to the Mouse?: She sorta disappears after her fight with Nemu in chapter 10, though the latter survived afterwards. It's revealed that Alina survived, but when Nemu struck her to rip the Uwasa off from her, the majority of her memories also got taken.
Walking Spoiler: Like Holy Mami, she isn't just a simple holiday variant...

Amane Sisters (Swimsuit ver.)

Voiced by: Maaya Uchida (Tsukuyo), Aya Uchida (Tsukasa)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amane_sisters_mizugi_ver_04.png

Twin Magical Girls who sing the praises of summer. With one steering the banana boat and the other wielding a water gun, these two prove to be quite the combo. Since they're skipping out on their duties of the workshop and the Magius, they'd prefer to keep their ocean escapades a secret.

The Dividual: Unlike their regular forms, the sisters are presented as a single unit in this case.
Fighting Clown: They fight using a banana boat and water pistols.
Fusion Dance: When they use Doppel, their Doppels Dum and Dee fuse together for one attack.
Male Gaze: During their transformation scene, the camera first focuses on Tsukuyo's chest, then locks on Tsukasa's rear.
Sexy Surfacing Shot: One part of their transformation scene shows Tsukuyo climbing out of a pool with the camera focusing on her assets.

Touka & Nemu (Holy Night ver.)

Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya (Touka), Sumire Morohoshi (Nemu)

The Dividual: They are a singular unit of two otherwise-separate characters.
One-Shot Character: Appears only in the 2020 event "Christmas String" and its 2021 return.
