Folklore of 0
General
A mysterious organization of magical girls who are somehow related to Nayuta's father, Tasuke Satomi. They claim to believe in the "beginning of the end", and that it's futile for magical girls to resist their natural fate.
- Cynicism Catalyst: The various misfortunes and tragedies they've suffered in Yukuni City form the crux of their cynical outlook when it comes to being Magical Girls.
- Milholland Relationship Moment: Alexandra, Asahi, and Urara all end up being accepted and invited to stay by the groups they infiltrated despite the groups knowing the truth about their allegiance to Folklore. It helps that they never harmed the groups they infiltrated and in fact helped them; Alexandra saved both Himena and the Neo-Magius by introducing them to one another, Asahi and Urara went against Folklore policy and risked their own lives to protect their comrades, and Asahi also tried to and seemed to have succeeded in killing Himena.
- The Mole: Asahi, Urara and Alexandra operate as undercovers in Tokime Clan, Promised Blood and Neo-Magius respectively.
- Never Accepted in His Hometown: The members of Folklore all come from Yukuni City, a city where magical girls are considered to be evil monstrosities that make people suffer, those who are revealed to be magical girls are driven out of the city via torment and even abuse. Things only got even worse in Yukuni after the truth regarding witches become wide-spread knowledge, as the city's inhabitants started considering magical girls and witches no different, and even started theorising that magical girls and witches were actively colluding with one another.
- The Prophecy: The members of Folklore believe in a prophecy regarding an apocalyptic event, with the revealing of magical girls to the general public being one of the steps in said prophecy that will lead to doomsday. The group possess a pocketwatch which counts down to doomsday, with the seconds ticking away as Arc 2 progresses. Chapter 11 shows what happens when it hits 12- Lavi gets her hands on all the Kimochi and becomes extremely strong.
- You Can't Fight Fate: The entire basis of the group's ideology. The members of the group have all accepted their eventual fates that come with being magical girls, and believe that even those who desperately struggle against it shall succumb to their fate anyways. The reason for this is further explained in Ashen Revolution, when their attempts to reveal the existence of Magical Girls take the turn for the worst.
Lavi Himuro
Lavi Himuro
Voiced by: Maria Sashide
A silent Magical Girl who works for Nayuta Satomi as a maid. She came to Kamihama City as a Magical Girl who sympathizes with Tasuke Satomi's ideology. Her facial expressions don't change much and she appears emotionless and unsympathetic, but she has a sweet side to her when it comes to young children. Her hobbies include tinkering in the dirt and reading. After the persecution she faced in her hometown of Yukuni Village, she and her fellow surviving Magical Girls now quietly observe the Kimochi War in Kamihama, waiting to see if any hope remains for them.
- Animal Motifs: A rabbit. Her name can be read as "Rabi", her apron has a small rabbit design on the corner, and the full image of the Memoria "Targeted by the Invisible" likens her (and the other members of Folklore) to sleeping rabbits.
- Body Horror: The form she takes when she absorbs all the Kimochi had elements of this, with Turquoise Ear’s fins and Pearl Eye’s wings growing out of her head, and her right leg and pinky finger turning into aquamarine and garnet representatively.
- Braids, Beads and Buckskins: She had this general aesthetic.
- Doomsday Clock: She carries around a pocket watch that ticks the moments until "midnight", which she alludes to getting closer throughout Arc 2. At the end of Ash Grey Revolution, it's revealed that "midnight" is when she will abandon her last bit of hope, and will enact her plans to save all Magical Girls from despair by erasing them all from the universe.
- The Leader: The head of the enigmatic Folklore of Zero faction of Magical Girls.
- One-Winged Angel: She absorbs all the Kimochi into herself in Chapter 11 when her clock hits midnight and assumes a stronger form. Thankfully, Iroha also unlocks her Infinite form and defeats and pacifies her, ending the threat of Folklore of Zero for good.
- Spell My Name With An S: Lavi/Labi/Ravi/Rabi. The fact that her name is written in katakana prior to the official romanization doesn't help.
- Undying Loyalty: She faithfully serves Nayuta and her father. Later Subverted as she and other girls of Folklore have been doing shady things behind Nayuta's back, including manipulating her into hating Touka and the latter's father. Chapter 7 double subverts this since Lavi's doing this to protect Nayuta from becoming a casualty in Touka's plans of fighting fate and expanding the Doppel system.
- Vagueness Is Coming: Lavi's first appearances in Arc 2 mostly consisted of her musing to herself about "The Gathering of 100 Calamities", though what that means exactly is kept vague.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She runs an inn in Yukuni with her mother. She went to university and became an apprentice under a scholar connected to Tasuke.
Alexandra Kurusu
Alexandra Kurusu
Voiced by: Marika Hayase
A Magical Girl who has lost her place in the world and is currently hiding out in Neo-Magius. She has been a member of the choir since she was a child, and used to love singing so much that she even sang in club activities. She has a calm and friendly demeanor, but her fearlessness is one of the reasons why people trust her. She fell in love with her teacher but, after being firmly rejected, wished to erase her love for him.
- Foreshadowing: Her appearance in the Neo-Magius centric event, Dependence Blue, was oddly brief considering her high rank in the organization. It only took a short while after the event for Arc 2 Chapter 5 to reveal that Alexandra's true loyalty is with Folklore.
- In-Series Nickname: Her friends call her "Sasha", which is a Russian diminutive of her legitimate name Alexandra.
- Pink Means Feminine: Her colour palette consists of mostly various shades of pink.
- Teacher/Student Romance: A one-sided one on her part; she pushed it hard enough that she risked getting her teacher in serious trouble. She considered wishing that he would reciprocate her feelings, but after he sat her down and firmly told her it was never going to happen, she instead decided to wish to erase any feelings of love for him.
- Token Minority: She is part-Russian.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She's become a professional harpist who hold concerts at small venues. She was reunited with her old teacher at one of her concerts.
Asahi Miura
Asahi Miura
Voiced by: Maiko Irie
An honest Magical Girl who is currently hiding out with the Tokime Clan. She appears to be stubborn and inflexible, but she can also be soft-hearted. Having been raised in a family that's in the hunting business, she's rather talented as a skilled hunter. She's a big military enthusiast, but she tries to hide her hobby.
- Be Careful What You Wish For: During Asahi's rebellious phase, her grandfather became more strict towards her, which to her was him being controling and possessive, thus she wished for him to stop interfering. While the wish was granted, it's because her grandfather became depressed, fell ill and passed away some time later. Her Doppel summoning line has her apologising to her grandfather, reflecting her regrets.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Her ability to summon ghosts is first mentioned in Arc 2 Chapter 6 when Felicia, Kako, and Ayame are investigating rumors. It ends up coming in handy later that same chapter when Kako and Ayame need her to summon Felicia’s parents to reassure her that they don’t blame her for their deaths.
- Cold Sniper: Takes this role in the Tokime's forces, targeting Yuna during the battle at the farm (only to be thwarted by Hikaru Taking the Bullet) and Himena during the assault on Neo-Magius headquarters (Mitsune’s Doppel made her think she’d succeeded when she hadn’t). Her Soul Gem is even in the shape of a bullet.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: Her body has various scars and burn marks because of the long-term abuse from the people of Yukuni City, who tried to drive her out after learning that she's a magical girl. Asahi is able to heal the scars, but instead chooses to keep them to remember that it's futile to reveal the existence of Magical Girls to the world.
- I See Dead People: Her personal magic allows her to summon and commune with the spirits of the dead.
- Sparing Them the Dirty Work: Shoots Himena so that Shizuka won’t have to kill her. Fortunately, she didn’t actually succeed, or else Lavi’s Doomsday Clock might have reached midnight.
- Verbal Tic: Ends her sentences with "-dearimasu".
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She now lives in the mountains and has opened up a game meat restaurant near Kirimine Village, which only uses locally sourced ingredients.

- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She's joined a circus troupe and does shows nationwide. She's asked Kurara to join her act but has been rejected at least ten times now.
