7
8	Kazumi is an amnesiac girl that finds herself stuffed inside of a trunk with no memory of her life before that moment, let alone what her wish to become a magical girl was.\
9	\
10	As a member of the Pleiades Saints, she fights Witches alongside her fellow comrades.\
11	\
12	Kazumi sometimes has snippets of memories popping up. [[spoiler:She's actually the 13th clone of a deceased magical girl called Michiru Kazusa and was created by using pieces of her human corpse and witch remains. This allows her to use Michiru's powers without actually having made a contract previously. Because of this circumstance, Kazumi can form a contract at the climax, and she wishes to become a normal human being.]]
13	----
14	* ThirteenIsUnlucky: 'Kazumi' can be read 'Thirteen'. It's also in Chapter 13 that Kazumi learns [[spoiler:that she's the 13th clone of Michiru 'Kazumi' Kazusa]].
15	* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Since the Saints used all of their power to create the Michiru clones, Kazumi is capable of using their powers to an extent. This includes Umika's barrier and Kaoru's instant armor.]]
16	* AmnesiacHero: Has no memory prior to the beginning of the story. [[spoiler:Subverted, as her being a clone means she never actually had memories to begin with. Umika is creating memories ''for'' her.]]
17	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Came incredibly close to turning into a Witch. [[spoiler:Umika and Kaoru manage to use Saki's Grief Seed in time to purify Kazumi's Soul Gem.]]
18	* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Turns out to be an artificial, human-like construction made up of witch and human parts that were originally Michiru.]]
19	* BadPowersGoodPeople: She's a sweet, ditzy girl that wants to keep her friends protected, but her magical girl powers are based on Destruction. [[spoiler:Justified, as she's made up of witch parts.]]
20	* BecomeARealBoy: [[spoiler:Her wish in the ultimate chapter.]]
21	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Beauty to Umika's Brains and Kaoru's Brawn.
22	* BodyHorror: [[spoiler:All of the failed clones have some form of body horror going on. Kazumi herself experiences some when infected by an Evil Nut.]]
23	* BerserkButton: Don't touch her bell earrings.
24	* BreakTheCutie: The series progressively breaks her by revealing the origin nature of Witches to her [[spoiler:and that Kazumi herself is nothing but a clone of someone else]].
25	* CombinationAttack: Performs one with Umika and Kaoru called 'Meteora Finale' (Final Meteor).
26	* CrossAttack: Her weapon is a large, cross-shaped staff, which she can use as a melee weapon at closer range, but it's most effective when used to shoot magic from afar.
27	* CuteLittleFangs: Show up during her more emotional moments.
28	* CuteWitch: Her magical girl outfit heavily draws on a witch theme, including a large witch's hat. Ironic, given that she fights Witches [[spoiler:and is made up of witch parts herself]].
29	* ExpressiveHair: Her IdiotHair changes its shape when sensing magic, which she even says is her Witch-hunting antenna.
30	* {{Expy}}: Of [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]]. Chapter 10 shows what Kazumi was like prior to her amnesia, being a heroic and strong magical girl that saved the members of the Pleiades Saints from succumbing to a Witch's Kiss and was basically the heart of the entire group. Losing her memories meant Kazumi was locked out of the loop regarding the harsh reality of the magical girl system, which her friends are trying to protect her from. [[spoiler:'Kazumi' has also previously died, with her death forming the basis of the plot by having her friends go to extreme lengths to save her from death.]]
31	* FeminineWomenCanCook: Her cooking is delicious, with a speciality of strawberry risotto, despite having no memory of where she ever learned it. [[spoiler:An inherited trait of Michiru's, which the Pleiades Saints take as a sign that they've finally created a successful clone.]]
32	* ForgotTheCall: Didn't know she was a magical girl until she accidentally transformed. [[spoiler:Subverted, as she never formed a contract and therefore had no call to answer.]]
33	* GoingCommando: Apparently. Going by [[https://images.puella-magi.net/0/03/PMKM_vol1_cover.png the cover of the first volume]], Kazumi wears nothing underneath her magical girl outfit's skirt, yet Chapter 2 has her accidentally forget to conjure her skirt when transforming and she's clearly wearing panties.
34	* HealingFactor: [[spoiler:Transmuting with the dead failed clones allows Kazumi to regenerate her severed arm and leg easily. Satomi calls it '[[IAmAHumanitarian cannibalism]]'.]]
35	* TheHeart: The most caring of the Pleiades Saints and the thing that keeps them together for the most part. [[spoiler:Justified, as Michiru was the heart, too.]]
36	* HellishPupils: Her pupils turn into an S-shape when infected with an Evil Nut [[spoiler:and are a sign of Michiru's witch parts she's made out of]].
37	* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:She's made up of the remains of Michiru's human and witch form.]]
38	* IdiotHair: Kazumi has one that she insists on keeping, citing that it allows her to detect Witches.
39	* ImportantHaircut: Starts off with extremely long hair, but part of Chapter 2 involves Umika and Kaoru giving her a much shorter hairdo. Kazumi likes it and decides it fits the 'new Kazumi'. [[spoiler:The shorter hairdo was how Michiru originall wore it.]]
40	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Uses a cross-shaped magical staff that can shoot lasers.
41	* {{Kawaiiko}}: Dresses like an elementary school student and acts quite young and innocent.
42	* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Her amnesia means she's forgotten everything, and the Saints are trying to keep a lot of things from her, too. This includes the origin of Witches, what happens when a magical girl's connection to her Soul Gem gets severed,[[spoiler: and Kazumi's whole being a clone thing, too]].
43	* LoopholeAbuse: [[spoiler:Since she's made up of witch parts and can use magical girl powers because of this, Kazumi never actually formed a contract. This means she can form a contract with Kyubey and make a wish to become a real human, turning her into a 'proper' magical girl.]]
44	* LossOfIdentity: Refers to herself as the 'new Kazumi' because she has lost all memory of her previous self. [[spoiler:And she is literally a new 'Kazumi', being the latest of clones of the 'original Kazumi' Michiru.]]
45	* MagicalIncantation: Calls out 'Chichinpurin' in the original version, which is a food pun. The official translation is 'Chi-Chin Pudding', with the scanlation going for '[[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo]]'.
46	* MeaningfulName: Kazumi can be read as 'thirteen'. [[spoiler:This Kazumi is the 13th clone of Michiru. The name 'Kazumi' is also a portmanteau of '''Kazu'''sa '''Mi'''chiru.]]
47	* MeaningfulRename: In the final chapter, Kazumi adds [[spoiler:Subaru]], which is the Japanese term for the Pleiades.
48	* MercyKilling: Performs the final blow on Yuuri's witch form. She also did this as a mercy to her comrades, wanting to share the burden with them.
49	* MiniDressOfPower: Her magical girl outfit is a very short, skimpy black-and-white one.
50	* MoralityPet: For the Pleiades Saints, in a sense. They do still perform witch killings [[spoiler:and hunt magical girls]], but Kazumi is a part of why they do it and keeps them somewhat grounded.
51	* NakedFirstImpression: Was completely nude inside of the trunk she was in and burst out of it, with nary anything to cover herself with.
52	* NoNameGiven: Her last name is never mentioned until Chapter 13. [[spoiler:Where it turns out she has none, due to being a clone. In the final chapter, she picks the surname 'Subaru' for herself.]]
53	* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents are never around. [[spoiler:Justified, she's a clone and doesn't have parents in that sense.]]
54	* PowerMakesYourHairGrow: [[spoiler:When she forms an actual contract with Kyubey, her short hair grows to the length it was in the first chapter.]]
55	* RealityWarper: Her bell earing seems to be capable of warping reality.
56	** Chapter 1 allows her to alter the bomb into a harmless toy.
57	** Chapter 8 has Jubey claim that Kazumi's magic is 'breaking religious law'/'sacrilege', but corrects himself into calling it 'destruction'. Both are AlternateCharacterReading of the same word in Japanese.
58	* SigilSpam: The swirly pattern on her bell earrings is also the shape of her IdiotHair, the top of her witch's hat in magical girl form, and appears twice on her Soul Gem [[spoiler:and Michiru's Grief Seed]].
59	* SignificantWardrobeShift: Kazumi wears a very skimpy and tight [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kazumia_magica_black.png black-and-white dress]] with a large, black witch's hat as a magical girl. [[spoiler:When she makes a wish and forms an actual contract, her magical girl outfit is a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kazumi_magica_white.png puffy, more modest, white dress]] with a small, white witch's hat.]]
60	* SkewedPriorities: Her main focus during some of the most dramatic moments is for her stomach to give out a loud gurgle and she needs to eat. Woke up in a trunk, naked, and with no memories? Doesn't matter, food first.
61	* SuperEmpowering: [[spoiler:Kazumi forming an actual contract with Kyubey seems to have given one to Umika and Kaoru.]]
62	* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:She's a clone of a dead magical girl and made up of said girl's witch parts. And she's not even the first, but the thirteenth clone.]]
63	* TragicKeepsake: She takes Yuuri's spoon after defeating her witch.
64	* WalkingSpoiler: For a good half of the manga, talking about Kazumi becomes very difficult without spoiling some of the biggest reveals.
65	* WrongContextMagic: [[spoiler:She's a clone of a dead magical girl's human and witch remains, something that was never implied to be possible in the original series.]]
66	* VaporWear: Her magical girl outfit is extremely tight-fitting.
67	* YouAreNumberSix: [[spoiler:She's the 13th clone of Michiru.]]

72
73	Umika is one of Kazumi's friends and a member of the Pleiades Saints, who hunt witches. She's a famous author that has brought out fantasy and some romance books.\
74	\
75	She was going to commit suicide due to the influence of a Witch's Kiss after learning that her first novel was plagiarized. She became a magical girl and wished to meet an editor that would recognize her writing talent.
76	----
77	* BarrierWarrior: Create force fields with her magic.
78	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Kazumi's Beauty and Kaoru's Brawn.
79	* CoolBigSis: Acts this way towards Kazumi. [[spoiler:It used to be the other way around, as Michiru was a comforting presence and encouraged Umika about her plagiarized novel problem.]]
80	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She's got blue hair and blue eyes.
81	* ExpositionBeam: Her book weapon acts this way, taking on the reasons of despair that the Witch is suffering from.
82	* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:Part of her powers involves being able to manipulate or alter the memories of other people. She uses it on Jubey, to make him compliant to the Pleiades Saints. Which includes manipulating ''her own'' memory, as she and the Pleiades Saints cast a spell over the city that would make incubators like Kyubey invisible to everyone, and replace their memories ''of'' Kyubey with Jubey. Including removing the memory of having cast this spell or any information they gathered from talking with Kyubey, like the point of Grief Seeds.]]
83	* FeminineWomenCanCook: She can cook rather well, which is a stress coping mechanism of hers when she suffers from writer's block.
84	* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Her weapon, the X-File book, tells her information about the enemy during a battle. It can also copy abilities of other people that she has recorded in it, which she uses [[spoiler:to cast [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyoko]]'s Rosso Phantasma]] on Kaoru.

86	* MorphWeapon: Her book can turn into a spear.
87	* MostWritersAreWriters: She's a novelist.
88	* MuggleBestFriend: Averted, as it first seems that she and Kaoru are regular middle-schoolers. Then it turns out that they are also magical girls, part of the Pleiades Saints group.
89	* PlagiarismInFiction: Her first novel was stolen by the editor and released under a different, already more famous author. They off-handedly apologized for it, but still asked Umika to keep being a ghost writer for them.
90	* PowerTrio: Alongside Kaoru and Kazumi. [[spoiler:Especially in the final chapter, as the only ones of the Pleiades Saints remaining.]]
91	* ShutUpHannibal: Delivers one to [[spoiler:Hijiri]]'s motive rant.
92	--> [[spoiler:'''Hijiri:''']] Don't make it sound so pretty!
93	--> '''Umika:''' It's not pretty!!
94	* TakingTheBullet: When she was trapped in a witch's barrier with the others, she threw herself in front of Kaoru to protect her from a familiar.
95	* TragicKeepsake: Her original manuscript that was plagiarized.

101
102	Kaoru is one of Kazumi's friends and a member of the Pleiades Saints, a group of magical girls that hunt witches. She was a well-known talent in soccer, but eventually suffered a bad injury during a game that put her out of commission.\
103	\
104	She was going to commit suicide under the influence of a Witch's Kiss, but Kazumi saved her and re-ignited her will to live. She chose to become a magical girl and wished for a healthy body that could always play soccer. [[spoiler:This turns out to be a lie, with her wish actually being that anyone who was hurt during the match where she was injured to be helped.]]
105	----
106	* BadassNormal: She fought off familiars in a Witch's barrier before being a magical girl, despite her leg being crippled and needing crutches to walk.
107	* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Kazumi's Beauty and Umika's Brains.
108	* CoolBigSis: Acts like one towards Kazumi. [[spoiler:When the Pleiades Saints decide to kill this Kazumi and re-clone her, Kaoru is the only one that has reservations for it and ends up fighting her friends to keep Kazumi safe.]]
109	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Has orange-ish hair and orange-ish eyes.
110	* TheDeterminator: She was determined to heal from her injury and return to the playing field. [[spoiler:Her being turned into a magical girl does seem to have healed her injury instantly.]]

112	* InstantArmor: Can conjure metallic plates onto her arms to stave off attacks.
113	* ItsAllMyFault: Blames herself for [[spoiler:the attempted suicide of the person that injured her]] because she was the cause for [[spoiler:said person to be bullied]].
114	* KickChick: Her favorite mode of attacking, using her soccer-trained legs.

121	[[folder:Saki Asami]]
122	[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/SakiProfile_5982.png]]
123
124	Saki is a member of the Pleiades Saints, a group of magical girls that hunt witches. She's the quasi-leader of the group due to Kazumi lacking most of her memories.\
125	\
126	She was rescued by Kazumi from a Witch's Kiss-influenced suicide and she chose to become a magical girl, too. Her wish was for her younger sister's flower to bloom forever.
127	----
128	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: [[spoiler:Kanna turns her into a Witch in Chapter 18, with the process only taking longer because Saki was using her magic to slow down the transformation process as much as she could.]]
129	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Satomi brainwashes and controls Saki in Chapter 13.
130	* TheCaptain: Takes on this role for the Pleiades Saints. Even her magical girl uniform looks a lot like a military one.
131	* ChildhoodMarriagePromise: Received one from her younger sister Miyuki, who said it after Saki thought there'd be no man good enough for her.
132	* CoolBigSis: Her overall role to the rest of the Pleiades Saints.
133	* {{Expy}}: She's a mixture of [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura]] and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]].
134	** Similar to Mami, she was in a car accident that resulted in the death of her family, her little sister in this case, while surviving it herself. They both also serve the big sister role to the other magical girls and wear a nice hat in their magical girl attire.
135	** Similar to Homura in the sense that both have a tougher appearance, are competent magical girls, and are willing to sacrifice themselves for the good of those they hold dear. [[spoiler:Homura has the ability to rewind time, whereas Saki's magic involves the ability to preserve things by altering the speed of bodily functions, which is what allows her to preserve the magical girls and Kazumi clones in the Freezer. Homura and the Pleiades use magic to revive a dead magical girl they loved very much, being Madoka and Michiru, respectively.]]
136	* FlowerMotif: Lilies of the valley. They were the flowers her sister planted, and them blooming forever was Saki's wish in memory of her. [[spoiler:Her Grief Seed also has lilies of the valley blossoms dangling off the hook, and the center sigil is a flower.]]
137	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Her Witch form attacks other Witches, so that she will get killed and her Grief Seed can be used to save Kazumi from turning into a Witch. Kyubey even mentions that her Witch's nature is 'sisterly affection'.]]
138	* HiddenDepths: Despite appearing like a no-nonesense character, she carries around books with titles such as My First Love Was The Milky Way and Lemon Kiss Memories. Some of them are Umika's works.
139	* LightningCanDoAnything: Her magic revolves around manipulating the electricity from her body. She attacks by summoning lightning channeled from her hands into her weapons; what seems to be teleportation powers is actually her speeding up her own metabolism to gain super speed, in exchange for getting older faster and [[spoiler:preventing her transformation into a Witch by repeatedly reviving herself with a lightning storm defibrillator]].
140	* LightningLash: Uses a whip as her weapon, which she endows with the power of lightning.
141	* MeaningfulName: Saki means 'to bloom'. Her wish involved for the flowers her sister planted to bloom forever.
142	* {{Monocle}}: Her glasses turn into a monocle in her magical girl outfit.
143	* NotSoStoic:
144	** Almost freaks out when Yuuri threatens to reveal [[spoiler:the Pleiades Saints hunting and harming magical girls]] to Kazumi.
145	** More comically, discussing her taste in books causes her to become very flustered.
146	* ShockAndAwe: Her main powers as a magical girl.
147	* SugarAndIcePersonality: She displays quite a violent temper when provoked.
148	* TragicKeepsake: She held onto the potted plant of lily of the valley her dead sister had planted.

155	\
156	When she was saved from the influence of a Witch's Kiss, she gained the one thing she wanted for years: friends. As such, her wish to become a magical girl was to obtain a museum to hold all the teddy bears she created that were her 'friends' beforehand.
157	----
158	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Was ostracized and mocked by her classmates because of her using the 'Boku' pronoun, which they found creepy.
159	* BearsAreBadNews: Her magic allows her to summon and control bears, which might look adorable, but can fuse into a giant version of themselves and fight off Witches.
160	* BerserkButton: Injuring or harming Saki drives Mirai to bloodthirst.
161	* {{BFS}}: Her little magic wand can turn into a giant broadsword when she fights Witches, often having the blade be as tall as she is.
162	* BloodIsTheNewBlack: Covered in blood after slicing open the Witch that had injured Saki.
163	* BystanderSyndrome: Overall keeps a rather detached view on things, like [[spoiler:Nico turning into a Witch]] or even when the Pleiades decide to [[spoiler:kill Kazumi]]. If it doesn't affect Saki, Mirai doesn't really care.
164	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has purple hair and purple eyes.
165	* CuteLittleFangs: Shows them when going berserk after Saki gets injured by a Witch.

170	* {{Expy}}: Shares minor details with several magical girls from other installments, those being [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura]] and [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Sayaka]] from the original, and [[Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica Kirika]] from another spin-off.
171	** Homura and Mirai were both loner girls in their past, wearing thick glasses and have huge braided hairstyles, with a severe devotion to one magical girl (Madoka and Saki, respectively), and willing to go far for their sake.
172	** Sayaka was also an impulsive, hot-headed magical girl that ultimately were good-hearted. Both also use swords as their main attacking weapon, though Sayaka's is a more classical saber and Mirai uses a big broadsword. And they have unrequited crushes on someone that never notices.
173	** Kirika has the friendless background and being ostracized in school, while lying that they were never actually lonely or friendless prior to making a contract. Both are also incredibly willing to go to intense lengths for the one they devote themselves too entirely (Oriko and Saki, respectively), even willing [[spoiler:to die for their sake]].
174	* FriendlessBackground: She was ostracized from her class because of her usage of the 'Boku' pronoun.
175	* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Smacks people, often Kazumi, to get them out of their misery and back to focusing on the matter at hand.

177	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Desperately wanted friends because of her being mocked at school. When she decides to become a magical girl, her wish of having friends already comes true, leaving her to wish for something else.
178	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's arrogant and quite willing to hit Kazumi on the head for her self-blaming nature, but Mirai does consider her a vital friend to have. She just tends to care a little too much about those she holds dearest.
179	* LittleMissBadass: Her main weapon is a heart-shape-topped wand that can turn into a broadsword, and she has the power to summon and fuse teddy bears into a giant one to fight against Witches.
180	* LonelyDollGirl: Made hundreds of teddy bears to serve as her friends before becoming a magical girl.
181	* MeaningfulName: Her teddy bear museum is called Angelica Bears, with the Japanese name for Angelica being 'Ashitaba', meaning 'tomorrow's leaf'. Wakaba's name contains the leaf kanji, showing the connection. [[spoiler:Michiru was the one to come up with the name.]]
182	* MiniDressOfPower: Wears a skimpy, pink dress with a low skirt as a magical girl.
183	* NerdGlasses: She wore big ones with a swirly pattern on the lenses.
184	* NumberOfTheBeast: Her latest teddy bear made before becoming a magical girl was the 666th one, and she has an attack called La Bestia (The Beast) to summon and fuse teddy bears.
185	* OffWithHerHead: [[spoiler:Lets Saki's Witch form chomp off her head, refusing to fight her.]]
186	* OutOfFocus: Gets less panel time as the series progresses, but does have one huge moment in the spotlight in Chapter 9.
187	* RoomFullOfCrazy: Her museum rooms full of teddy bears are a tad disturbing.
188	* SecurityBlanket: Her teddy bears used to be the only 'friends' she had.
189	* SigilSpam: Hearts are a major part of her design, with it even being the shape of her teddy bears' inner ears.
190	* TakingTheBullet: When she was trapped in a Witch's barrier with the others, she threw herself in front of a familiar that was going to eat Saki.
191	* TragicKeepsake: While close to throwing herself off a building because of the influence of a Witch's kiss, Mirai was clinging onto the 665th teddy bear she had made.
192	* {{Yandere}}: Willing to go to fierce and violent lengths to keep Saki protected, including [[spoiler:throwing herself into the lightning pillar that was turning her into a Witch or flat-out slicing Nico's Witch form in two]].

204	* AnimalEaredHeadband: Wears one in her magical girl attire.
205	* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's gentle and soft-spoken when first seen, but does prove to have a firmer side to herself. [[spoiler:She's the first to come up with the idea of killing Kazumi and re-cloning her, as well as stabbing Kazumi and one of the clones, delighted to have killed 'Kazumi-chan'.]]

208	* CombatStilettos: Wears high-heels that resemble a cat's feet in her magical girl form.
209	* CorruptedCharacterCopy: Like Saki, she shares a lot of traits with Mami. However, unlike Saki and Mami, [[spoiler:Satomi is a very clear example of what Mami would have been like if her breakings did not result in her immediately snapping or becoming suicidal, leading to a twisted mindset that would outright start controlling and plotting against her friends.]]
210	* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: She has reddish-brown hair and reddish-brown eyes.
211	* {{Dominatrix}}: An omake showed her mind manipulation powers over Saki as having Saki on a literal leash, while Satomi holds a whip and is wearing stereotypical, skimpy lingerie.
212	* {{Expy}}: Similar to [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]]. They are both the quiet, reserved older sister type of person and consider the incubators as their friends, with Satomi being fond of Jubey and Mami caring for Kyubey. But they both turn out to have rather fragile minds and unstable attitude. Satomi suggests that it's better for Kazumi [[spoiler:who is made up of witch parts]] to be killed than letting her turn into a Witch, harking back to Mami's breakdown in an alternate timeline. [[spoiler:Satomi's Witch form also looks similar to Mami's Witch form, Candeloro, being much smaller than most Witches.]]

214	* ItsAllMyFault: Blames herself for the death of her childhood pet cat.
215	* ImpossiblyLowNeckline: Her magical girl outfit has an off-the-shoulder top that really shouldn't be able to remain where it is.

217	* MyGreatestFailure: Not realizing that her cat's behavior was uncommon and taking her to the vet in time, which meant the cat died from whatever the cause was.
218	* PeoplePuppets: She can use the technique 'Fantasma Bisbiglio' to control others. [[spoiler: Such as Saki to get her to kill Kazumi.]]
219	* SlasherSmile: Sports one at the end of Chapter 12 [[spoiler:when she suggests killing Kazumi]].
220	* SpeaksFluentAnimal: Her wish was to be able to talk to animals, which would help her as a veterinarian.
221	* TragicKeepsake: While under the influence of the Witch's Kiss, Satomi was cradling the collar of her pet cat.
222	* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Her justification for wanting to kill Kazumi was that she was merely a clone of Michiru, and that she was likely as much of a failure as the previous clones, who all came close to turning into Witches. Might as well remove Kazumi before she can turn.]]
223	* YouAreWhatYouHate: Its just as [[spoiler: she's about to turn into a witch that she rejects any help from Kazumi, derisively calling her a witch.]]

236	* ButNotTooForeign: She seems to be partly-Japanese, and has spent her childhood in California.
237	* CloningGambit: Another Niko appears after [[spoiler:Niko's Witch form is killed and the human Niko is dead]] and in perfect health, with Jubey revealing that the first Niko was merely her 'preliminary'.

238	* DeadpanSnarker: Has quite a tongue to her at times.
239	* DoppelgangerAttack: Her magic has her clone herself from objects. The clones are still made out of the original objects, but she transmutes them into a different form, which she even calls Prodotto Secondario (Secondary Product).
240	* DoesntLikeGuns: Played with, in that Niko will use guns if the situation calls for it -- like taking one of the guns Kazumi offers them to fight off familiars, but she doesn't particularly like it. [[spoiler:It reminds her of when she accidentally shot friends when she was young.]]
241	* DreamworksFace: Sports one on the cover for Volume 4.
242	* ExpendableClone: Her clones can easily be disposed of [[spoiler:or even turn into Witches]] without Niko batting an eye. [[spoiler:Mostly because ''this'' Niko very much wanted Niko to despair.]]

247	* GogglesDoNothing: Wears a useless pair of goggles on top of her head in magical girl form.
248	* GirlishPigtails: Keeps her hair tied in a long, low-set pair.
249	* HiddenEyes: Her eyes are hidden while telling Kazumi about her past.

251	* MacrossMissileMassacre: One of her attacks.
252	* MeaningfulName: Niko can be read as 'Second Child' or 'Second Girl'. [[spoiler: She made up an imaginary version of herself that had that name, with her wish turning her into Niko, with her original name of 'Hijiri' being given of the no-longer-imaginary version of herself.]]
253	* TheSmartGirl: The most analytical member of the team and very handy with computers, being the one [[spoiler:to use the Kyubey corpse they had to turn it into the compliant Jubey]].
254	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name can be spelled as Niko or Nico.
255	* TheStoic: Rarely shows emotions.
256	* TragicKeepsake: Before throwing herself off of a building while under the influence of a Witch's Kiss, Niko was staring at [[spoiler:the newspaper article of the shooting incident]] on her phone.

263
264	Michiru Kazusa is the original 'Kazumi'. She became a magical girl some time ago, wishing to spend the last day of her grandmother's regular lifespan with her.\
265	\
266	She rescued the other girls from Witch's Kiss-assisted suicide, making them fight off familiars when they got their will to live back. They became magical girls and Michiru dubbed their group the Pleiades Saints.\
267	\
268	Michiru succumbed to despair and turned into a Witch, revealing to the rest of the Pleiades Saints that magical girls are the source of Witches. They killed off her Witch form and decided to clone Michiru over and over, to get their friend back.
269	----
270	* TheAce: Kept the entire team together against all odds, fought off Witches with no problem at all, and she was one of few magical girls in the entire franchise that made a wish with an entirely positive effect.
271	* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: She turned into a Witch some time ago.
272	* BigDamnHeroes: Rescues the group from committing suicide while under the effects of a Witch's Kiss and then killed the Witch, when she was about to kill the girls directly.
273	* TheCameo: She has a [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kazumi_cameo.png panel appearance]] in ''Madoka Magica: The Different Story'' volume 3, showing the flashback of Mami saving her from a Witch.
274	* DespairEventHorizon: Crosses it upon realizing that magical girls turn into Witches, which has her becoming consumed with guilt for getting her friends stuck with this fate.
275	* FeminineWomenCanCook: She's an extremely good cook, taught by her grandmother.
276	* TheGunslinger: She mainly fights using a cross and magic, but she also conjured guns from her hat that she gave the girls to fight familiars off with. She likely learned it from seeing [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]] fight.
277	* InSeriesNickname: Kazumi, quite obviously. A portmanteau of '''Kazu'''sa '''Mi'''chiru.
278	* ParentalAbandonment: Her parents aren't mentioned, but she was stated to be living with her grandmother before she went off to study abroad.
279	* PosthumousCharacter: She's been dead for some time before the series began.
280	* SinkOrSwimMentor: Surprisingly enough, her first interaction with the girls. She saves them from committing suicide, but doesn't lift a finger when they get attacked by familiars. She lets them fend for themselves, proving that they still wanted to live, and then gave them guns to protect themselves.
281	* TragicKeepsake: Her original set of earring bells, which she got from her grandmother. The pair was lost during a fight with a Witch, but Saki eventually found an identical pair for her.
282	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Her becoming a magical girl, saving the others and turning them into magical girls, and eventually turning into a Witch is basically the thing that caused ''the entire series'' to occur.
283	* WalkingSpoiler: Her very existence spoils that the protagonist is a clone of her.
284	* WhatTheHellHero: Satomi snaps at Michiru for just standing there and letting them be attacked by familiars, instead of actually helping them. Michiru counters that they shouldn't be fighting them off, weren't they just trying to die, anyway? This does prove to them that they wanted to keep on living, with Michiru then giving them weapons to defend themselves with.

293	Yuuri is a mysterious magical girl that seems to have a grudge against the Pleiades Saints. She uses Evil Nuts to influence humans to turn into pseudo-Witches.\
294	\
295	Yuuri claims that she hates the Pleiades because they killed her once before. [[spoiler:Turns out she's actually called Airi, a friend of the real Yuuri and she swore revenge on the Saints for having killed Yuuri, who had turned into a Witch. Her wish was to become Yuuri.]]

302	* BigNo: How she reacted when [[spoiler:she learned that the real Yuuri had turned into a Witch]] and been killed by the Saints.

309	* EvilLaugh: Spends a lot of panels laughing.
310	* EvilCounterpart: Serves as one to [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Homura]]. Both were formerly-ill and confined to hospital beds for a long time, but got healthy through magic, and were motivated by the death of a beloved friend. They both also use guns as their main form of attacking.

313	* GoMadFromTheRevelation: [[spoiler:She completely snaps when she learns Yuuri became a Witch and was killed by the Saints.]]
314	* TheGunslinger: She uses guns and pistols as her main form of attacking. Similar to [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Mami]], she can also conjure several of them at once. But unlike her, she uses modern handguns and sub-machine guns, showing that she means business in causing damage.
315	* IdiotHair: [[spoiler:Sported one as Airi.]]
316	* IJustWantToBeYou: Her wish as a magical girl [[spoiler:was to become Yuuri]]. Her motivation is that of revenge, though, compared to most uses of this trope.
317	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:She's the first fully-realized Witch to appear in the series and gets killed by the Saints, as part of their duties as magical girls.]]
318	* KnightOfCerebus: She starts to show the darker side of the Pleiades Saints and that there's more to the series than simply an amnesiac magical girl that's having an adventure with fellow magical girl friends.
319	* TheManBehindTheMonsters: She creates pseudo-Witches in the first few chapters with the help of the Evil Nuts.
320	* MasterOfDisguise: Perfectly impersonates Satomi in Chapter 3, with her wish giving her powers of taking on the appearance of others easily.

330	* StarterVillain: The first villain to appear and overall not very strong in terms of magical abilities.
331	* {{Stripperiffic}}: Her magical girl outfit, which was mentioned to be intentionally invoked by the author. He wanted to show how broken she was by having her outfit show skin in unusual places.
332	* SummonMagic: Capable of summoning a bull to attack with, called Cole.
333	* TragicKeepsake: She wears a spoon as a charm around her neck. [[spoiler:It was given to her by the real Yuuri as a good-luck charm, which Airi returned after she became healthy.]] Seeing it on the ground after the Saints killed the Witch allowed her to recognize who it was.
334	* UnwittingPawn: To Kyubey, who cared little to help her get revenge on the Saints and just wanted another magical girl to turn into a Witch and collect energy from.
335	* VaporWear: She doesn't appear to wear anything underneath her magical girl outfit.

373	\
374	Hijiri knew nothing about this until she saw the Pleiades Saints fighting Yuuri's Witch form, realizing that Niko Kanna looked identical to her, and she learned the truth of her origin from Kyubey.\
375	\
376	Resentful of her artificial status, Hijiri contracted with Kyubey and wished for the ability to connect to other people and sneak up on the Pleiades Saints without their knowledge, all in order to get revenge on humankind.
377	----
378	* AllYourPowersCombined: Her wish allows her to use the powers of the Pleiades Saints and combining them to create new effects, like the Evil Nuts.

446	* ChekhovsBoomerang: Turns out that she actually knew Michiru herself.
447	* ChekhovsGunman: Played with, as Yuuri is seen in a single panel flashback in Chapter 4 alongside Airi's true appearance. Her impersonation of Yuuri wasn't revealed yet, leading to the idea that Airi was the only gunman in the scene.

451	* {{Expy}}: Shares several aspects with [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Sayaka]]. Both of them had a hospital-ridden friend they visited frequently and used their wishes to heal said person. Said wishes gave them amazing healing abilities -- Sayaka's self-healing made her more durable than other magical girls and Yuuri was able to use her magic to heal other people. Both also ended up turning into Witches.
452	* FatalFlaw: Her devotion to other people. She keeps going out and helping, with no thought to her own well-being. Her [[https://images.puella-magi.net/2/27/Arzt_Kochen.jpg Witch's nature]] is mentioned to be 'Devotion (Beyond Reason)'.
