History Characters / PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion

* BladeOnAStick: Wields a giant version of [[spoiler:Kyoko's spear]] in the latter part of the movie's climatic battle against [[spoiler:Homulilly, which is used as the first step to break out of Homura's MentalWorld]].

* BladeOnAStick: It wields a spear with an unusual blade, shaped like two triangles connected at the corner.

* BladeOnAStick: Like Lotte, she wields a spear, but hers is for hunting "white rats" (i.e. Kyubey). Hers has a more standard shape, similar to Kyoko's.

{{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:She becomes this towards the end of ''Rebellion'' when she forcefully splits Madoka's soul from the Law of Cycles in a warped attempt to keep her from suffering. She's a more sympathetic case than most in that she doesn't actually harm anyone other than Kyubey and the other Incubators, but Sayaka confirms before losing her memories of the previous timeline that she absolutely does not agree with Homura's solution to the Magical Girl problem, and Madoka herself is constantly on the verge of remembering her true nature with Homura having to be vigilant in ensuring she doesn't regain her godhood.]]

!!Magical Girl Team

* MysteriousPurple: Her ColorMotif is purple ans she's the most morally dubious of the "Holy Quintet" as well. [[spoiler:Her ascension to "[[SatanicArchetype Devil Homura]]" comes after her Soul Gem shatters into something far more frightful, causing the [[LoveMakesYouEvil love-tainted]] contents of her soul to blanket the ''entire universe'' in a curtain of purple magic.]]

[[folder:Nagisa Momoe]]
!!Nagisa Momoe
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese), Creator/XantheHuynh (English), Maribel Pomar (Spanish)
[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nagisa_momoe_magical_girl.png]]

A brand new magical girl introduced in the movie, she is quite a bit younger than the others. %%[[spoiler:The true identity of Bebe, see her section for more details. Also the magical girl that became the witch Charlotte.]]

'''Note:''' Again, like Homura, there are many spoilers related to her, so watch out.

* AdvertisedExtra: Nagisa somehow manages to both be this and an AscendedExtra [[spoiler:due to being the original magical girl form of the witch Charlotte, who only appeared in one episode of the anime]]. The descriptions and trailers for the film implied that she would play a major role, but in the film itself [[spoiler:she spends most of her time as TeamPet Bebe.]] It should be mentioned that [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil the movie treats Nagisa's existence as a surprise]] [[spoiler:when Bebe first transforms into Nagisa.]]
* AirplaneArms: She runs with her arms open while frolicking around [[spoiler:in Homura's new world]].
* AllThereInTheManual: The production note for the original anime says that Nagisa's backstory was [[spoiler:that she wished to eat one last cheesecake with her terminally ill mother, and became a witch after her mother died, realizing she could've wished for her mother to be cured, though she didn't think that was possible]]. Since the backstory is for a prototype witch, though, it is unknown if this backstory still applies to the present Nagisa.
** [[spoiler: ''[[VideoGame/MagiaRecordPuellaMagiMadokaMagicaSideStory Magia Record]]'' reveals that it is...only it's made even MORE tragic and involved.]]
* AscendedExtra: Surprisingly, she existed in the original anime [[spoiler:as Charlotte, the witch who killed Mami only to be killed herself by Homura in the same episode]]. In ''Rebellion'', she comes back as a magical girl and joins the main cast.
* BackFromTheDead: As a magical girl [[spoiler:and the witch Charlotte]], she was already dead to begin with; here she returns as [[spoiler:part the Law of Cycles. She's also brought back for real in Devil Homura's new world, albeit with no recollection of her past just like everyone else... [[WildMassGuessing possibly]]. It's never explicitly addressed.]]
* BadassAdorable: She's even cuter than the rest of the cast; yet she has a ''lot'' of strength on her side, between her powerful weapon (see InstrumentOfMurder below) and [[spoiler:her ability to use her witch form, Charlotte, and summon hordes of her's and other witch familiars]]. However, how much of her strength is retained [[spoiler:after the world rewrite]] is unknown.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: She's friendly and genuinely likes everyone, but her values are a little odd. [[spoiler:She joined the mission to save Homura because she'd have the chance to eat cheese again, after all, and may or may not have been happy with Devil Homura's new world]]. It's likely a result of her being just a child. Of course, this could be simply her joking around.
* BreakingOldTrends: The first magical girl who doesn't wield a conventional weapon like a bow, gun, or spear. Instead, she uses a trumpet that shoots exploding bubbles.
* BreakoutCharacter: She was included as a major character in the movie due to her witch form [[spoiler:Charlotte]]'s popularity with the fandom.
* BreathWeapon: [[spoiler:Her Bebe form allows her to exhale bubbles at an incredible rate and volume.]]
* BubbleGun: Her [[InstrumentOfMurder trumpet]] shoots explosive bubbles.
* CameBackStrong: Partially by virtue of coming back as her magical girl self. She's even stronger than usual due to gaining powers granted to her as [[spoiler:part of the Law of Cycles--notably control over her witch form, Charlotte, and her's and other witches' familiars.]]
* CanonImmigrant: [[spoiler:Charlotte's second kind of familiar, the nurse-like Polina was seldom seen outside of the manga and several games, and was only officially named when ''Rebellion'' was released. Here, they help Mami in the fight to save Homulilly.]]
* CursedWithAwesome: Her weapon, which can shoot bubbles that can crack a strong barrier, makes easily one of the most powerful members, but [[spoiler:due to the plan to fool Kyubey, she's usually forced to keep her witch form]].
* ExpyCoexistence: Both design- and personality-wise, Nagisa heavily resembles Yuma Chitose from the ''[[Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica Oriko]]'' manga spin-off of the original anime. Her magical girl outfit is almost a direct copy of the beta proposal outfit for Yuma. These heavy similarities have led some to view Nagisa as a copy or rip-off of Yuma with aspects of [[spoiler:Charlotte]] mixed in.
* ExtremeOmnivore: [[spoiler:When she puts on her "Bebe" face, she traps several of Homulilly's Familairs in a serving dish and eats them. It's a power granted to her by being part of Law of Cycles.]]
* {{Familiar}}: Once she starts fighting, she's accompanied by [[spoiler:two of Charlotte]]'s familiars, and as the fight goes on she's accompanied by [[spoiler:familiars from other witches]] as well. This is due to her new summoning powers from [[spoiler:the Law of Cycles.]] She even rides a Sebastian at one point.
* GirlishPigtails: She's an adorable little girl with small pigtails at the sides of her head.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: During the battle against [[spoiler:Homulilly]], Nagisa rides on a Sebastian--one of Elsa Maria's familiars.
* IHaveManyNames: Nagisa Momoe, [[spoiler:Charlotte, the Dessert Witch, Bebe]].
* InstrumentOfMurder: Her weapon is a trumpet that [[BubbleGun shoots bubbles]]. Each of said bubbles can pack quite a punch; the bubbles from one blow of the trumpet can shake and crack a strong witch's barrier.
* IWasToldThereWouldBeCake: Apparently the real reason why [[spoiler:she went with Madoka and Sayaka to Homura's barrier]]; she just wanted to [[spoiler:eat some cheese]] again.
* LittleMissBadass: She's only about 8 to 12 years old, but she's very powerful.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Mami admits that Bebe is the only reason she can be so strong. She's right; Mami snaps like a twig in all other timelines.
* MissingMom: According to the original anime's production note, Nagisa had a [[spoiler:terminally ill mother who later died]]. It's unknown if this applies to the current canon, though, as the backstory was for a prototype witch.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Her white hair highlights her mysteriousness.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: The whole reason she became Charlotte in the first place was because rather than wishing for her terminally ill mother to be cured, she wished to eat cheesecake with her for a final time. However, instead of motivating her, it caused her to become a witch.]]
* NiceGirl: Much like Madoka, Nagisa is a kind-hearted and friendly girl at heart.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Her color scheme is much more diverse. Madoka, Homura, Sayaka, Kyoko, and Mami all have a single "trademark" color for their eyes, hair, soul gems, and magical girl costumes, which is accented with mostly-neutral colors (black, white, brown, beige, etc). Nagisa's design doesn't have a similarly predominant color, her hair is white, her eyes are yellow and orange, her costume is orange and brown, and [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:634512.jpg her soul gem is a very pale purple]]. Her costume also doesn't have as many FrillsOfJustice as the other girls, who all have pleats and ruffles galore. Nagisa has a poncho and shorts/a skirt with just a little bit of fluffy accenting.
* OnlySaneWoman: She's the only magical girl that hasn't had an emotional wreckage on-screen.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Just like Sayaka, she's essentially Ultimate Madoka's secretary. Her weapon is also a trumpet, which is famously associated with angels.]]
* PluckyComicRelief: More childish and amusing than the rest of the cast.
* {{Retcon}}: [[spoiler:Charlotte's magical girl form seen in the closing screen of the series looks quite different to Nagisa's magical girl clothing. She even has a wand instead of a trumpet.]]
* RummageSaleReject: Unlike the other characters, Nagisa's magical girl outfit is a rather odd assortment of clothes: she wears a poncho, suspenders, poofy shorts/skirt, and a hat with cat ears.
* SavedForTheSequel: She doesn't get very much screentime in the movie, despite the hype, but the creators have stated they would like to do more with her in the future. It is very likely that Nagisa will play a bigger role in any direct sequel to ''Rebellion''.
* SixthRanger: Joins the magical girls as part of the team, [[spoiler:minus Homura, since Homura had turned into a witch at the time.]]
* StoryBreakerPower: From the story's perspective, she's reluctant to use her weapon, because [[spoiler:combined with her witch form, the plan to fool Kyubey would fail.]]
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:Can manifest Bebe's face in her magical girl form, gaining ExtremeOmnivore powers and the ability to exhale a mindblowing volume of bubbles rapid-fire.]]
* SweetTooth: Her soul gem, in its transformed state, resembles a smiling candy to reflect her love for desserts.
* TechnicolorEyes: They're [[SupernaturalGoldEyes yellow on the inside]] and orange on the outside, a trait which may be a case of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia_iridum#Central_heterochromia Central heterochromia]], [[spoiler:and a trait shared with the caterpillar form of her witch, Charlotte.]]
* TokenMiniMoe: She's younger than the rest of the cast, and goes to elementary school.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cheese, to the point where she interrupts an emotional moment between Kyoko and Sayaka to proclaim her love for it. Notably, Mami, who she spends a lot of time with--and was her best friend and saviour from despair [[spoiler:as Bebe]]--is yellow like cheese, which might be a subtle form of ShipTease.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting:
** When she truly lets loose, she morphs into [[spoiler:her witch form. In that form, she's a good match, too]].
** She can also put on [[spoiler:her Bebe face]] in order to gain ExtremeOmnivore powers. These powers are due to being [[spoiler:part of the Law of Cycles]].
* WalkingSpoiler: Knowing too much about her reveals [[spoiler:the fact that she's Charlotte's original incarnation]].
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Subverted. She has long white hair, but she's nothing but nice.
* YinYangBomb: [[spoiler:She can swap between her Magical Girl and Witch forms at will, as well as combine their abilities.]]

[[quoteright:346:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebellionkyubei3_8686.png]]

The contractor of magical girls. In the movie Kyubey is more of a standard magical girl mascot: cute, cuddly, sweet and helpful. In fact this Kyubey is apparently [[PokemonSpeak not even capable of human speech]]. This turns out to be an act. Par for the course, his real motives are much more sinister...

[[caption-width-right:336:[[labelnote:Click here to see her premature form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/witch_homura.png[[/labelnote]]]]

Homura's witch form and the one responsible for creating a barrier where all of Homura's acquaintances have been trapped in.

* PiecesOfGod: The Law of Cycles appears to be the combination of Madoka and all the Magical Girls she has rescued, with Sayaka and Nagisa being specific girls who are separated from the whole.

* PiecesOfGod: The Law of Cycles appears to be the combination of Madoka and all the Magical Girls she has rescued, with Sayaka and Nagisa being specific girls who are sepparated from the whole.

[[folder:The Archangels]]
Two Magical Girls who have been taken by the Law of Cycles, only to be sent back on assignment by the Goddess of Hope. For their identities, see Sayaka Miki and Nagisa Momoe.

* BeingEvilSucks: She completely hates herself in general, but her self-loathing only worsened when she imprisoned Madoka in her perfect world, and believes that she will no longer have her trust once she inevitably breaks out of it. Homura may rule over her own world, but it's still a SelfInflictedHell for her because [[RegretfulTraitor she won't ever forgive herself the betrayal that she had to commit]]. In accordance with her thoughts, even her own {{familiar}}s [[ProducePelting throw tomatoes at her]]. And said familiars have names that are a manifestation of Homura's opinion of herself: Arrogance, Sadsack, Liar, Coldheartedness, Selfishness, Slanderer, Dunce, Jealousy, Lazybones, Vanity, Cowardice, Fool, Bias, and Obstinance. Supposedly, there's also one by the name of Love, which is nowhere to be seen.

* DarkMagicalGirl: Homura was always steeped in this trope, but by the end of the movie she becomes a dark magical girl devil to oppose Madoka's magical girl goddess.

* EvilCounterpart: By the end of the movie, she becomes one to Ultimate Madoka, making her the universe's devil in the process.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: A conversation with Madoka causes Homura to mistakenly believe that Madoka isn't happy being God. So at the end of the movie Homura becomes the devil to create a world where Madoka can be happy...or at least, what she ''believes'' can make Madoka happy.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: She traps ''the entire universe'' inside a LotusEaterMachine, seals away Madoka's goddess powers, erases everyone's memories, and enslaves the incubator race. However, she also brought [[BackFromTheDead Madoka, Sayaka, and Nagisa back to life]], repaired Mami and Kyoko's emotional scars, and is allowing everyone to live normal happier lives in a world without magical girls, witches, wraiths, or nightmares. Considering the CrapsackWorld they were all living in before, it could be argued this change isn't a bad thing at all, but how Homura achieved it is still morally questionable.

* BareYourMidriff: In her magical girl form, a bit of her belly is exposed.

** It being blinded by its headgear and ramming into things may be symbolic of Homura developing tunnel vision by becoming single-mindedly focused on saving Madoka at the expense of everything else.

* LivingToys: It is referred to as a stuffed bird, and looking closely at its portrait reveals that it has stitches on its forehead and its beak.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Liese is the bearer of bad news. In the original time loop, Homura was the one who impressed upon Madoka and Sayaka that becoming a magical girl would only lead to death and despair.

* TragicMonster: Homulilly is Homura who now believes in her heart that Madoka did not really want to become a goddess and condemned herself to an eternity of loneliness for the sake of all magical girls. In recompense, Homulilly feels she should suffer nothing less than an eternity of punishment for not upholding her promise to save her very best friend.

* TragicMonster: Homulilly is Homura who now believes in her heart that Madoka did not really want to become a goddess and condemned herself to an eternity of loneliness for the sake of all magical girls. Because Homura didn't stop her, she feels Madoka's ascension is her greatest failure that she deserves to be punished for.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Her inability to be with the one she cares about causing her [[FaceMonsterTurn to turn into a literal monster]] [[spoiler:hints to Homura's story arc]].

* MasterOfThreads: Her dress has a GiantWaistRibbon that acts similarly to an extra set of limbs and destroys the city around her.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Sayaka appears to be a young teenager, same as most magical girls. However, since she [[spoiler:remembers the previous timelines, her true mental age is ''much'' older, possibly even putting her close to a century. And as part of the Law of Cycles, she's as old as the very first magical girl]].

!!Ascended Magical Girls (All Spoilers Unmarked)

* BladeOnAStick: Like Lotte, she wields a spear, but hers is for hunting "white rats" (Kyubey). Hers has a more standard shape, similar to Kyoko's.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Luiselotte helps the other familiars eliminate anyone who interrupts Homulilly's funeral procession; Homura eliminates any obstacles to her singular goal of saving Madoka.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Lilia destroys any intruders with either its teeth or its nut cannons, like Homura mowing down every witch in her path.

* BearerOfBadNews: Its purpose is to bear bad news, presumably the news of the witch's execution.
