The main protagonist, who goes into her dream world to collect the 24 Effects. She is a small girl with an ambiguous past, personality, and role.



* KnifeNut: One common interpretation of Madotsuki, since the only way to get a different reaction out of many of the dream residents is to stab them to death.


Added DiffLines:

* PsychoKnifeNut: Her primary weapon is the knife effect, which is not required to progress anywhere, but she can use it to stab most of the dream residents. Since this is her dream world, they do not attack her, and this is the only way to get a different reaction out of them, it suggests Madotsuki has some mental instability. The manga adaptation runs with it and makes her AxCrazy.

** The manga takes this a step further. [[spoiler: Poniko is a human girl trapped in the same dream world as Madotsuki, but while the latter is a somewhat naive newcomer who is friendly and optimistic, Poniko has figured out the purpose and nature of the world they're trapped in long ago and has absolutely no qualms about using violence, theft and blackmail to escape it. Poniko attempts to leave by cheating the system and actively screwing Maodtsuki over, which gets her killed. Madotsuki, after getting her memories back, goes back to being complient and manages to wake up because of that.]]
