Main Characters

In General

Adaptational Sexuality: Rampant "Romantic" Two-Girl Friendship and Ship Tease aside, canonically of the five of them only Sayaka is explicitly confirmed to have a interest in either sex with her crush on Kyosuke. Here, the author confirms that Madoka, Sayaka and Mami are bisexual while Homura and Kyoko are lesbians.
Battle Couple: When Homura and Mami team up together, almost nothing can stand in their way.
Combat Pragmatist: Despite the group having three veteran Magical Girls and two who aspire to high moral ideals, they are not against using any trick in the book to win and all three veterans approve of Sayaka's (albeit failed) attempts to use a variety of tactics to try and tag Homura during her first training session.
Commonality Connection: While many of them have wildly different personalities, there's a lot of overlap between them individually that comes into play in their relationships that ultimately are what help them connect and bond with each other.
The Defroster: With Homura as the character needing to be defrosted.
- Madoka, naturally, is able to work through Homura's defenses and was at comparative ease. Constant acts of kindness made easier by the different nature of the universe bringing good out of Homura faster than usual for those around her to see.
- Mami, despite an initial rocky start, manages to speed this up further after their first date, her line about wanting to love Homura as her Soulmate, ‘'because you’re Homura Akemi’' hitting through Homura's barriers hard and quickly causing Homura to open up faster and harder.
Hereditary Homosexuality:
- Madoka is attracted to women, as is her mother (who is bisexual). The author confirms that Madoka is also bisexual.
- Both Mami and Sayaka have cousins, Alessia and Sora, who have female Soulmates.
Jerkass Has a Point: Frequently Homura or Kyoko will say something bluntly, tactlessly, or callously that Madoka and/or Sayaka find distressing that ultimately is right, and the idea behind it would be something that Mami doesn't disagree with, just simply would have put more gently or otherwise phrased nicer.
Living Is More than Surviving: Present with both Mami and Homura, whose existences before the start of the story were more or less boxed in by staying alive, having lost much of their connections to other people and their non-survival interests and hobbies over the years. Their bond with Madoka and connections with each other reignited in both of them a life beyond simply fighting Witches and staying alive, reinvigorating old ties, hobbies, and hopes for the future.
Locked Out of the Loop: Homura has many things she doesn't tell her Soulmates, and is blunt about it in Chapter 14 that she isn't going to tell them and does not want to. These secrets also being ones that have destroyed them in past timeloops. Homura does commit to telling them if it becomes relevant, but is also blunt that she'd rather never have to tell at all.
Mage Marksman: An element that both Homura and Mami have in common, as Madoka noted in the first chapter.
Mayfly–December Romance: The revelation of the immortality of Magical Girls puts this in play between Madoka and her Soulmates, and its a problem that Homura is aware that if they can't find another solution for, Madoka will contract rather than let it come to that, mostly because her mortality would take down Homura, Mami, Kyoko, and Sayaka with her.
Minor Living Alone: Was the case with Mami, Kyoko, and Homura before Soulbonds put them in the custody of Madoka's parents. Sayaka isn't directly in the custody the same way but lives with them for simplicity sake.
- Before the series Mami was living alone in her apartment due to the death of her parents and her living relatives being half a world away. She very quickly jumps on moving in with the Kanames for a reason, and was supported by a pension that kept her well off.
- Homura is a orphan whose surgeries and eventually an apartment were paid for by charity. She had lived in an orphanage before, which was not a happy experience for her.
- Kyoko for the last year had lived on her own after the death of her parents, wandering from place to place with little money. After a gig with the Magius, she'd eventually shift towards Mami's apartment and later the Kaname residence.
Secret-Keeper: They are the only ones to know that Homura was unaware of Soulbonds until Day 2: Mami and Madoka finding out in chapter 1 and Kyoko and Sayaka finding out in Chapter 18.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: Soulmates really, really do not like you trying to kill the other(s) in their relationship, and this is particularly pronounced when it comes to Madoka, who has always been close to most of them than the others and is powerless.

Homura Akemi

A veteran, anomalous Magical Girl whose powers lets her rewind time to save the girl she loves. One time rewind brings her into a very different world than she's used to, and it's a world she's finding increasingly impossible to want to give up for any reason.

A-Cup Angst: There are several moments (like her reaction to Takako saying her chest is too small to be Mami) that makes it clear that Homura wishes that she was bigger in the chest area.
Affectionate Nickname: Both Mami and Madoka take to calling her Darling starting in Chapter 8.
An Arm and a Leg: Homura lost an arm to her first fight with Charlotte many, many timelines ago when she was blindsided by the Witch's true worm form. Mami and Madoka see the memory of this in a dream in Chapter 10.
Badass Boast: She gives one to Madoka before her fight with Cancri, partially as a means of reassuring the nervous Madoka about how all right she'd be.
Homura: Madoka. This is not a Witch I fear. You have no need to fear for us either.
Bifauxnen: Put her in a suit and she can sport this look, much to Madoka and Mami's approval.
Blasting It Out of Their Hands: She resorts to shooting a controlled Hitomi in her arms in an attempt to make her drop her weapon and disable her, but her opponent simply starts channeling magic through her arms in order to maintain her grip and keep fighting.
Combination Attack: By using Connect with Mami, Homura can imbue her own ribbons with her Time Stands Still power to freeze anything she wraps them around.
Conditioned to Accept Horror: She's had to deal with so many horrible things in the timelines that not a lot really makes her flinch. She's noticeably more annoyed at Mami and Madoka seeing the memory of her losing an arm to Charlotte because of them seeing her past mistake than the memory of losing an arm which she barely reacts to (especially compared to her past self, who did not take the lost arm well at all.)
Covert Pervert: When Mami expresses an interest in possibly sewing alternate versions of their Magical Girl outfits for fun, even if they're just modified versions, Homura thinks of Mami's outfit with a much lower cut that causes her to go red-faced both from the image and realizing that Mami and Madoka saw it through their mental link.
Crippling Overspecialization: Homura is very well equipped to kill things, but if she has to defeat an opponent without hurting them, she's limited in her options. The majority of the challenge in fighting Hitomi is finding a way to simply immobilize her and not severely injure or kill her, and before she unlocks the ability to use Mami's ribbons for entrapment the most she could do was try and shoot Hitomi in her limbs.
Cuddle Bug: Once she opens up to Mami, Homura becomes rather huggy in bed, enjoying being embraced and giving them back in turn. She even gets grumpy when she rotates out of the prime cuddle position in the center of the bed.
Culture Blind: Homura knows very little pop culture, barely knowing what Star Wars is and having no idea what Sute's 'Shonen Manga' powers even are or what Sayaka meant in one timeline when she believed Homura to be a pod person. She's also the only one of the four talking who don't know anything about Alina Gray's art, something Yuma has heard of. She's more aware of Marvel comics, but that is seemingly due to dealing with a comicbook-themed Witch regularly. She does get a crash course in Shonen Manga from Sayaka after fighting Sute, enough to correct Sayaka that she's a Genin, not a Chunin.
Dark and Troubled Past: Homura's life before she met Madoka in the first timeline wasn't fun: she grew up in an underfunded Catholic-run orphanage and was generally miserable, not helped by the fact that she was a 'different' child that made the other children, her caretakers, and potential adopters not like her, and her heart problems actually were a highlight because she got to get out of that environment for a while. This also contributed to her poor academic performance originally, as she was far behind the other students due to lack of resources and extensive time in the hospital. Then the events of the series happened.
Deadpan Snarker: If Homura makes any jokes at all, it will be in this form.
Didn't See That Coming:
- The existence of the Wings of the Magius is something she never conceived could even be possible, as the idea that hundreds of Magical Girls could ever unite under the same banner and not have to squabble over the nightmare of Grief Seed logistics that would bring flies in the face of everything she's known about Magical Girl life. Or that Oriko would be one of its top members. Of course, she's missing the context that up until very recently, it truly wouldn't be possible without the existence of very specific Magical Girls fashioning a plan to make it so.
- She completely missed the mark that a new (to her) Magical Girl Serial Killer is running around the city and looking for victims. While that's something pretty much no one could have predicted given how Akasuki operates and Kyoko believing she killed her already, Homura takes it especially hard given she feels personally responsible for "letting" her newfound happiness decrease her vigilance.
- Magical Girls being The Ageless is the one secret she shares with the rest of the main characters that she didn't know ahead of time, and it is the one problem Homura is not sure how to solve. The problem itself is not the immortality in of itself, but the fact that Madoka may not be immortal like them just from their Soulbond, and if there is no other solution to the problem other than Madoka contracting as Madoka would not let herself by the cause of her Soulmates demise by being the only one dying of old age, Homura has no idea how to keep her promise in the face of that issue.
Evil Stole My Faith: Homura used to be religious, having been raised in a Catholic orphanage. However the constant strife with the Incubators has long drained Homura's devotion, preferring to believe there is no God than that God might exist and allow the Incubators to act.
Everyone Has Standards:
- While she notes it does have potential to work, Homura never attempted to get a mass contracting of girls in Mitakihara to overwhelm Walpurgisnacht with sheer numbers due to the sheer body count it would raise, seeing it as something neither she or Madoka could ever forgive her for doing. She has no problem with pre-existing Magical Girls to use this strategy as might end up being the case if Walpurgisnacht goes to Kamihama where the Magius have the numbers, but those are pre-existing Magical Girls and not new victims of Kyubey thrown into the meat grinder.
- While she does not like Oriko and Kirika, at all, she very specifically avoids handing any Grief Seeds over to the Magius, who they are members of, that came from alternate versions of them who fell into despair. On top of not knowing what it would do to them to use the Grief Seeds of their alternate selves Witches, she considers that cruel, a concern she extends to her own team and Soulmates as she tries to use up her stock of Oktavia, Candeloro, and Charlotte Grief Seeds as quickly as possible.
Genre Refugee: She's not native to a timeline with soulmate tropes and has to adapt to them as she goes along, finding the world baffling. In turn Madoka and Mami are incredibly surprised that anyone could not be familiar with such an intrinsic part of the human condition, though they are willing to give her support and not treat this as something wrong but just a quirk of being Homura, and in turn Homura comes to enjoy many, though not all, aspects of the new world she's in.
Handicapped Badass: A very skilled Magical Girl in spite of being autistic and being born with bad eyesight and a heart condition she keeps in check with magic.
Hidden Depths: She loved ballet early in life and the first couple of loops to the point she watched them whenever she could and once she got the physical boost from being a Magical Girl could even perform the moves herself, but like many of her hobbies it fell by the wayside in her mission. Some encouragement from Mami shows that Homura retains said dancing skills. She also has an innate knack for building things with her hands, which mostly saw use in making homemade bombs during the loops, but also apply to baking skills and model building.
Hyperspace Arsenal: She keeps a lot inside her shield, including vast reserves of Grief Seeds, various types of guns, missile launchers, blasting jelly, tasers, net guns, rocket launchers, grappling hooks, and swords.
I Am Not Pretty: Due to her upbringing in her orphanage, Homura has very little confidence in her appearance, outright stating she thinks her hair is the only part of her that could be called beautiful. She's taken aback when Mami uses their link as Soulmates to show her Mami's own recollection of Homura's appearance during their first date and dance: a dashing Bifauxnen in a suit with brilliant purple eyes.
I Hate Past Me: Among Homura's self-image issues include a dislike of her old self. Homura will rarely think of her past self in anyway positive. When she does a Mental Fusion with Mami while using Connect, a part of Homura after separating noticeably enjoyed the feeling of being Mami and "not having to be Homura".
I Just Want to Be Loved: It's hard to tell given how many walls she had to throw up during the time loops to avoid breaking at the suffering and deaths of all her friends, but Homura deep down wants to forge connections with people who love her for who she is. Hearing Mami tell her she wants to love her simply because she's Homura Akemi is the first real crack that makes Homura start to fall for Mami.
Intimate Hair Brushing: Homura really enjoys having her hair brushed, initially only by Madoka, but after a while Mami is also shown brushing it after the two bond.
It's All My Fault: Takes Hitomi's kidnapping very badly, as she thinks it only happened because she allowed herself to grow "careless" due to her newfound happiness and thus lost her vigilance. Mami and Madoka have to reassure her on this front, particularly by pointing out Homura didn't even know The Griefer was a thing just a week ago, much less that she was still alive and now in the city.
Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: She can do this in a pinch with her buckler shield, but because it's so small relative to her body it's usually not practical. With Mami's ability to create ribbons, however, she can now form much larger shields that fulfill this purpose, and she can even create floating defensive shields for herself and others.
Mysterious Past: In-universe, her past as a Magical Girl is something that no one knows anything about except herself. Madoka and Mami have the most understanding of it, mostly against Homura's will when her dreams get shared, but they have far from the full story. Kyubey is quite interested in figuring out the anomalous Homura Akemi.
No Social Skills: Between her upbringing lacking in friends and family, the stress of time loops for what is implied to be longer than the canon hundredish she went through, and the fact that she has undiagnosed autisim, Homura is very, very, very bad at socialization, which tends to make the time loops even harder because she had a lot of trouble understanding what caused the others to react to her negatively. Madoka and Mami being able to actually read her emotions and thus intent makes her efforts a lot easier because they are able to grasp what her intent is instead of assuming the worst as tends to happen. This is driven home in Chapter 12, where while Madoka and Mami can tell how much the situation with Hitomi is eating at her on the inside with her rolling emotions, Sayaka (who's dealing with her own baggage) can only see how Homura is acting on the outside with her stoic face and looking like she doesn't care nearly enough, and when Homura shuts down an offer to contract to help Hitomi, that's when Sayaka lets loose. Mami takes notice of this and notes she really needs to fully explain this quirk to Sayaka, though that realization is too late to stop Sayaka's breakdown.
One-Woman Army: During a global battle royale match in Laser Gun World V.R. with about 2,000 players, Homura not only took first place, she by Sayaka's own reckoning took out half of the participants.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: While Madoka and Mami are more in tune with Homura's true thoughts behind her stoic and coolheaded outer demeanor and have the benefit of seeing her in more vulnerable moments (such as blushing up a storm to their affection), even they're not prepared for when the mask completely breaks. When Madoka becomes increasingly ready to make a wish to guarantee Hitomi's safety from Suzumebachi in order for the other girls to have a clear shot at the killer, Homura already reeling from her own self-flagellation over "letting" the kidnapping happen and the high-tension from Sayaka's own breakdown finally cracks and is reduced to trembling, crying, and begging Madoka on her knees not to while repeatedly promising she'll do anything and everything else possible to save Hitomi. Even Sayaka and Kyoko, who had never seen any other face from Homura other cool facade, are left stunned at this brazen display of vulnerability.
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: A combination of Homura's traits that Mami appreciates and she gets more than a few admirers for it.
Selective Obliviousness: Sayaka and Kyoko are not the two inactive members of her Soulbond. Nevermind that it holds to the pattern, or that the color of the Soulmarks almost always matches the hair color of the participants, or that the blue mark may or may not have shifted position after having some generally positive interactions with Sayaka... Even Homulilly notes that Homura is just so deep in denial.
Shield Bash: Not for her, as her buckler is too small to be useful for a charging attack. Once she gains the ability to use Mami's ribbons and can make bigger shields out of them, however, she starts to incorporate this into her fighting style.
The Sleepless: Homura can operate without sleep and once did so for the looping equivalent of a year (about nine or ten loops) before she determined any benefits weren't worth the mental and emotional drawbacks. She is willing to work without sleeping to retrieve the missing Hitomi from The Griefer, but Mami and especially Madoka do not let her.
Stalking is Love: She learned this idea from Timeline 1 Madoka and has carried it forward to other timelines, thinking nothing of following Hitomi home to sneak her a phone so she can call Kyosuke.
Unknown Rival: To Oriko and Kirika, as Homura, due to her experiences with Oriko in the various time loops where she's trying to kill Madoka has her registered as a priority target to eliminate to keep Madoka safe, which she's only putting off for now because Oriko is far away and currently commanding an army of Magical Girls that could seek vengeance. In this timeline, as Oriko's plans implicitly involve keeping the Mitakihara gang alive, Oriko is confused on why her visions show her that any attempt to directly speak with Madoka or Homura at the current time will end with her or Kirika shot.

Madoka Kaname

A normal girl with a loving family who, unbeknownst to her at first, has incredible potential to be the most powerful Magical Girl anyone has ever seen.

Affectionate Nickname: Mami calls her Sweetie.
All-Loving Hero: Madoka has a nearly infinite well of kindness and love for her friends, Soulmates, and everyone around her. Even Candeloro and Homulilly. The only exception seems to be Akasuki, leaving Madoka's line at mass murderers who kidnap her friends.
Big Eater: Madoka loves food, and Sayaka warns Homura to give Madoka her own (large) bag of popcorn for any movie dates and her dad passes Homura on extra money for their date for this reason.
Covert Pervert:
- Briefly agrees with Sayaka's assertion that putting Mami in a suit is a disservice to her rack before she realizes what she just said out loud.
- When she looks over Sayaka in her Magical Girl outfit for the first time, one particular thought that stands out is noticing just how big Sayaka's chest is.
Did You Just Romance Cthulhu?: Madoka comes to love and better Candeloro and Homulilly, the Witches of her Soulmates over the course of several dreams.
Girls Love Stuffed Animals: Her room is filled with them (and chairs), and unlike the chairs they aren't negotiable. Homura winning her a giant stuffed fox at an arcade overjoys her.
Godzilla Threshold: She makes it clear to Homura in no uncertain terms that if Hitomi dies because of The Griefer, she will contract to revive her no matter how much Homura pleads. Homura reluctantly accepts this.
Gone Horribly Right: Her first timeline's inclination to show how much she cared for Homura by following her around to keep her safe and reacting to perceived threats by breaking into Homura's apartment would inspire Homura to do the same, and Homura outright admits that she has managed to spook Madoka a few times. Meaning the reason that Homura sometimes freaks out Madoka is the timeloops is the fault of Madoka teaching Homura to do the very things that can scare some Madokas.
Has a Type: She loves a good suit and anyone who can wear one well. The fact this is very much like her mother is noted by Sayaka.
The Heart: Especially early on when Mami and Homura are still getting each other's measure, she's the emotional center of their Soulbond.
Insecure Love Interest: While she has no doubt that she's loved by her Soulmates, she does often question why it was her, a seemingly normal girl, who was blessed with them. She's also unsure of why it would be her who is Homura's Soulmate in particular instead of the Magical Girl who inspired her and died for her so long ago, unaware that said girl is in fact Madoka herself.
Like Parent, Like Spouse: Just as her mother can pull off a suit, she really likes her Soulmates in suits.
MacGuffin Super-Person: Her potential as a Magical Girl has drawn the attentions of both Kyubey and the Magius, while her nature as a Magical Girl was an area of tension early on between Mami and Homura before the two reached a certain peace, and Kyubey burned enough bridges that Mami found herself far less interested in rushing Madoka to contract.
Muggle–Mage Romance: Her first two Soulmates are Magical Girls, as are her two other Soulmates once Sayaka contracts and becomes her Soulmate as a result. While she has the potential to change that even with Kyubey's preference to give Soulbonds a wide berth, Homura would very much like to keep it that way, with the others sharing this view to a lesser extent (being more opposed to Kyubey's lengths to do so versus Homura's reasons).
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Manages to between scenes completely strip Homura down to her underwear and force her into bed in order to prevent her from running out into the night without rest to hunt down Suzumebachi.
Parental Sexuality Squick: While she loves her parents, there are things she doesn't need to hear about their lives.
Silk Hiding Steel: If Madoka does contract, she never loses her sweetness and adorable nature, but she becomes a lot more confident, posed, and puts her power to good use. Even without it, while buried under uncertainty, she is more than just a cute face.
Stalking is Love: Firmly believes it's okay to stalk someone if you're just trying to help them. The Overprotective sidestory shows the Timeline 1 version of her sneaking money into Homura's bag and chocolates into her locker, heavily patrolling the path between her apartment and school, and even climbing through the window into her apartment when she thinks she may have been kidnapped.
Took a Level in Badass: Homura notes that this tends to happen when she contracts not just from gaining powers, but the resulting power boost in confidence and assuredness. Homura actually does appreciate this change and is fond of the bolder, more sure Madoka, but keeps to fulfilling her promise regardless.

Mami Tomoe

A veteran Magical Girl who is known for her power and heroic nature, but few realize just how lonely she is.

Animal Motif: Both Kyubey and Akasuki have compared her to a goat, specifically a Judas Goat, a goat used to lure other livestock to slaughter for the benefit of the farmer or slaughterhouse that owns the animal in reference to how she's been used by Kyubey.
Badass Boast: She gives one to Madoka before her fight with Cancri, partially as a means of reassuring the nervous Madoka about how all right she'd be.
'Mami: Now Madoka, time to show you what your two Magical Girls can do.
Boob-Based Gag: As she's the most well-endowed of the main five girls, a lot of jokes are made at the expense of her bust. Mami herself is not above making them.
Broken Ace: To the public eye, Mami is an attractive model student who many boys and girls would love to be in a relationship with. To Magical Girls, she's a veteran of the business with great power and skill who embodies the ideal many newbie Magical Girls dream of. But beneath it all, Mami is a lonely girl who Desperately Craves Affection and wants to form real connections, but is burdened by the many failures of her life. Even Homura throughout the time loops only understood a fraction of just how much pain she's hiding.
Broken Pedestal: Her unflinching fondness for Kyubey starts taking hits as the story goes on, mostly relating to how pushy he's being about Homura's anomalous nature and his willingness to suggest underhanded methods in getting Madoka to contract up to and including trying to get Sayaka to act on his behalf by telling her its for the fate of the universe. The pedestal fully shatters when Kyubey attempts to drive Kyoko to despair, and Mami makes sure to shoot every body in the area to stop him. Kyubey however simply considers this an unfortunate but accounted for setback in his overall goals.
Building Swing: She rather likes using her ribbons to swing through labyrinths where walking and jumping isn't the optimal form of travel. Homura is...less than thrilled to be a passenger when she does this.
Calling Your Attacks: Its Mami, of course she does so, and she has a few of them including Tiro Finale, Tiro Forza Finale (a stronger version of Tiro Finale), and Nastro Infuocato (binding her target with ribbons and then moving them so fast that the friction causes the ribbons to ignite.)
Chef of Iron: Mami can bake cakes and cook large meals of Italian food just as easily as she can blow Witches apart with either enough guns to arm a battalion or a single gun the size of a bus.
Combination Attack: Thanks to her natural Connect ability, Mami can combine her power with another Magical Girl, which usually manifests in giving her ribbons or constructs properties unique to her partner.
- With Yuma, her ribbons can heal anyone they wrap around.
- With Kyoko, she creates guns that shoot fireballs.
- With Homura, she creates guns that once they shoot a target they're frozen in time and vulnerable to follow-up attacks, which all catch up once enough time has passed.
Deliberate Injury Gambit: Realizing that whatever Awful Truth Suzumebachi is trying to break her with is a very real threat thanks to feeling Homura's rising dread and horror through their link, and recalling yet another part of Oriko's message via Kirika, Mami discharges two of her muskets point-blank by her ears to rupture her own eardrums and deafen herself to the killer's words. She then quickly uses her ribbons to wrap Suzumebachi up and then unloads on her with multiple muskets at once to make sure she won't miss even with her equilibrium badly compromised.
Fatal Flaw: As Homura notes a few times, loneliness tends to be what causes Mami's worst decisions, actions, and lets her get manipulated by Kyubey as much as she has been as she seeks to remedy it.
Forgot About His Powers: Mami fully admit she often forgets she naturally has the Connect ability and rarely thinks about it due to how often she's alone. She forgets about it so much that even Kyoko and Homura didn't know she had the power despite all the former's history with Mami and the latter's time repeats.
Godzilla Threshold: Mami generally avoids abusing her tendency to end school with gas leaks to only deal with Witch attacks. She never outright proactively cancels school unless in the direst of situations, such as when she realizes The Griefer has kidnapped Hitomi and they can't find her in a day. This is also the only reason she, or the others, tell Sayaka about this trend.
Good Is Not Soft: Mami is certainly a very kind and moral Magical Girl, but she is not a pushover. Homura notes that, unlike Takako, Mami is able to muster clear lethal intent, something Takako isn't able to do even in a desperate state, and Mami is both willing to help others and make very clear rules she expects them to follow (she completely agrees with Homura about, if Kyoko is approaching them for help in the current drought, she will have to play by their rules and has little leverage to argue with them). She tells Madoka in no uncertain terms that while lethal force should be the last option, it still is an option, and against The Griefer it will be the only option and that she, Homura, or Kyoko will be the ones to do it. Indeed, she's the one who kills Akasuki and quite brutally at that.
Hates Being Alone: As noted by Homura, this is Mami's greatest weakness. Among the many reasons having Soulmates makes her so happy is forever averting this. This is a trait she shares with Candeloro.
Last of His Kind: She's the last of her paternal family, the Tomoes. There are still many of her maternal family, the Ferroros, alive and well in Italy, however.
Marshmallow Hell: She occasionally ends up doing it by accident if she's being particularly affectionate, though a stand-out back-to-back moment is when Sayaka contracts to save Madoka from Akasuki and ends up awakening to their Soulbond. First Mami hugs Madoka out of relief she's alright while planting her face right in her boobs, and then she does the same thing to Sayaka out of gratitude and happiness to finally have her next Soulmate. Madoka has to struggle to breathe, but Sayaka definitely enjoys her moment.
Master of Threads: Mami can do practically anything with her ribbons with practice. From creating guns to swinging herself around, binding enemies and creating enough friction to set them on fire, to making accessories for Madoka, Mami's limited only to what she can practice and perfect.
More Dakka: When Mami decides to up the ante, she can conjure dozens to hundreds of muskets at once and unload them all in a rain of death. Kyoko being exhausted from creating a similar dozen-to-hundred barrage with spears implies that the only reason Mami can actually pull this off as a viable tactic is because of her massive magical reserves, while Mami herself attributes it to practice.
My Greatest Failure: Not being able or thinking about to wish to save her parents too, as well as being unable to save a young boy named Kou from a Witch early in her career are Mami's greatest regrets. Notably, the latter is something Homura never picked up on during all the time loops, and Kyoko despite their closeness never got that particular story. She gets reassurances on both from Madoka and Homura.
The Paragon: To most newbie Magical Girls, Mami is the pinnacle of the heroic ideal of their kind. This is why Kyubey has such an investment in her, as not only does this image make her an ideal "recruiter" for contracts, it makes her a source of despair for those same contracts if they find they can't live up to the ideal she set in their minds.
Precision F-Strike: In Chapter 12, after hearing from an emotionally-torn Sayaka about Kyubey's talks with her, Mami is so angry she calls Kyubey "a little shit." Even Homura is surprised at this.
Screw the Rules, They Broke Them First!: Normally, Mami only uses her magic to deal with magical situations, but when she learns from Kyoko that a particular skee-ball machine at an arcade is rigged to cheat customers out of their money, she plays it while transformed so she can cheat right back by using her magic to enchant the balls.
Skilled, but Naive: If you want expertise on how to use magic, how to fight with magic, and how to keep your grades up despite magic, Mami knows everything. The dark side of magic is something she is completely in the dark about however.
Strong and Skilled: Mami not only has raw magical power on her side, but experience and creativity to make the most of her powers. There is a reason that Akasuki is very glum about the prospect of actually fighting her one on one.
Strong Family Resemblance: Mami strongly takes after her maternal family in Italy, the Ferroros, in appearance, looking quite like her Nonna (grandmother) Armina and cousin Alessia. The main differences being haircolor and eyes, the latter Mami inherited from her father. This makes it easy for Nonna to make dresses for Mami even while separated, as she has a very similar body type to her cousins. It also means that, when Mami does visit, it is very easy for the cousins to get their laundry mixed up because, again, they can all fit in each others clothes.
Swiss-Army Superpower: Mami's power is to create ribbons. There's the obvious application such as swinging around, binding enemies, and creating accessories for her Soulmates, and then there is what Mami has figured out how to do with them, including creating guns, setting things on fire, and according to Kyoko, some form of clone creation.
Team Mom: Like in the anime, though due to how many of her team are also her wives this dynamic's not as prominent. It is still apparent enough with Nagisa and Yuma, and Kyoko outright says at one point that Mami would probably try to 'adopt' Lina Hitomi and her team if they ever met.
Teens Love Shopping: Put Mami in front of someone who needs clothes and she will go nuts. Homura and Kyoko, who have experienced this, are wary of Mami in full wardrobe shopping mode as a result.
Tranquil Fury: Her brutal execution of Akasuki as well as her More Dakka barrage on a host of Kyubey bodies never have Mami raising her voice, but the fury and hatred she holds for her targets threatening those she loves is undeniable in her speech and thoughts.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: When hearing Homura mention that the kids at the orphanage she grew up in would fling her to the floor to stop her from watching her favorite show, Mami asks Homura if she remembers any of the names of the kids in question in the same tone of voice that she gave to both Akasuki and Kyubey right before firing her guns at them.
Vitriolic Best Buds: She and her cousin Alessia are quite close, but often express this closeness by good natured banter and bickering. It is entirely in good nature though, Mami is quite sure that Alessia would stop making fun of her ringlets if she knew it was worn in memory of her mother.
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: There are Magical Girls who gain the power to alter the future when they contract, stop time, read minds, and a myriad of other such abilities. Mami...naturally has a power that any Magical Girl can get via meeting a Coordinator that she routinely forgets she even has.
You Are Fat: At least according to Mayumi, Mami needs to lose weight. Kyoko, Homura, and Sayaka don't see it: Kyoko notes Mami does weigh more than her, but being a street punk and having grown up hungry, that says more about her than Mami.

Sayaka Miki

Madoka's best friend, Sayaka has been protecting and cheering Madoka up for ages. Although now she finds herself falling behind in the face of Madoka's two literally magical Soulmates.

Achievements in Ignorance: Sayaka managed to get around the usual Soulbond formation hiccups by carrying Madoka on her back, minimizing the negative side effects and letting her immediately start wailing on Suzumebachi. She did this while being entirely unaware that she had gained Soulmarks at all, and only noticed when Madoka did after the fight.
And This Is for...: As she's laying a smackdown on Suzumebachi, Sayaka makes sure to not just mention Madoka, Hitomi, and Nagisa as among the killer's current attempted victims, but also mentioning a dozen girls from the city of Sorashido all by name, and that for all of them, their families, and all of Suzumebachi's other unnamed victims, she'll gladly act as 'justice'.
Ascended Fangirl: Sayaka's a huge fan of Magical Girl shows among other programs, and finds herself entering a world of magic herself. She then becomes a Magical Girl herself in Chapter 13.
Big "SHUT UP!": Shouts for Akasuki to "shut the fuck up!" after contracting and having enough of listening to the killer's taunting to Madoka to just let herself get killed. She punctuates that statement by then smashing through the wall separating them.
Book Dumb: She doesn't get the best grades, except in history and gym, but she's not outright dumb. Kyubey outright notes that fact, but also tells Sayaka he won't tell her parents this to get them to lighten up about her grades.
Kyubey: Oh, I am quite aware that you do not have the ability to influence Homura. However, you do have a keen enough eye for details. Academic success and work in the field are two distinct topics after all, equally valid
Break the Cutie: Chapter 12 is not good to her mental state. Fretting over Hitomi's disappearance is one thing, but paired with growing conflict about spying on Madoka and Homura for Kyubey, her own feelings of inadequacy, and then learning Hitomi's been kidnapped by a Magical Girl Serial Killer and thus indirectly that her best friend must have made a contract and she didn't notice, and Homura again shutting down the idea of contracting in order to find or save Hitomi, all culminates into her having a breakdown where she airs it all out and expecting her friends to hate her or call her a traitor. Luckily for her, it gets better.
Bully Hunter: Antagonizing Madoka is a quick way to get on her bad side even before they become Soulmates.
Calling Your Attacks: Tiro Spade (shooting her sword's blade out) Taglio Oceano (enhancing her sword's cutting power with magic for one powerful slash), and eventually Tempesta Di Spade (a Storm of Blades) per Oriko (who predicted it in this timeline) and Homura (who's seen her use it in other timelines).
Chivalrous Pervert: She's a bit dirty minded, and compared to Madoka much more open about it, but she's a good person.
Crossover Relatives: Has a cousin living in Sorashido named Sora.
Green-Eyed Monster: Downplayed, but Sayaka finds herself increasingly put out upon the realization that despite being Madoka's best friend and protector for most of their lives, she's now at best "second-place" in Madoka's life to her two Soulmates Mami and Homura, who can understand her on an even deeper level and are two veteran magical warriors more than capable of keeping her safe. She's beyond overjoyed when this no longer applies when she also becomes Madoka's Soulmate.
Healing Hands: As her wish directly relates to healing, Sayaka has both a boosted Healing Factor and her magical ability to heal others is much stronger than the average Magical Girl. Kyoko outright says that Sayaka probably won't end up with any scars like most Magical Girls as a result.
I Am Not Pretty: She's in a bit of disbelief about being 'one of the hot ones' when some guys in school complain Madoka is getting them all.
I Am the Noun: Declares herself justice while beating Akasuki down, declaring herself vengeance for everyone she's ever hurt or tried to hurt.
I Just Want to Be Badass: Being the newbie Magical Girl amongst veterans who are also her Soulmates, Sayaka feels an immense pressure to catch up to them and improve as fast as possible since she doesn't want to be the weak link. As such, she initially wants Homura to use live rounds on her for her training rather than paintball rounds under the justification she can regenerate just fine, and it takes a long talk with both Homura and Madoka to emphasize that's a very dangerous mindset to have in a practice setting.
In Spite of a Nail: Despite not contracting to heal Kyosuke in this timeline thanks to Mami providing her own healing, Sayaka still ultimately contracts to heal a loved one. This time, of course, being fittingly Madoka to keep the injury she took from Suzumebachi's attack from becoming fatal.
Karmic Jackpot: Sayaka goes through a rough period as Kyubey tries to get her to spy on Homura and get Madoka to contract, but resists the urge. As a result, she finds herself not only keeping what she had, but she gets to become Madoka's Soulmate too, ensuring her worries about the changes in her life are for naught.
Living Forever Is Awesome: When Homura drops the newly-discovered reveal that Magical Girls are The Ageless to her Soulmates, Sayaka is the one most openly happy about their newfound immortality, with not even the reminders of the dangers of their new reality getting her down long.
Mutual Masquerade: Sayaka has no idea her cousin is a Magical Girl, and Sora certainly has no idea about Sayaka's adventures either.
Ninja Run: Sayaka can't fight the urge to do this at one point, proudly calling herself the "Chunin of the Village Hidden in the Magic". Homura instead calls her a "Genin".
No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: After Sayaka contracts, she uses the opportunity to let out a lot of her pent-up aggression on Suzumebachi, stabbing and battering her around with sheer physical power and ferocity all while her advanced Healing Factor fixes any damage she does take like it doesn't even matter. Suzumebachi escapes more by luck than anything as the damage they cause to the already condemned building they're in causes parts of it to collapse and forces Sayaka to prioritize Madoka's safety.
The Paladin: Lampshaded when she realizes that she's a heroic sword-swinging Magical Girl with Healing Hands, outright asking if this would be her "class". An amused Homura affirms as much, with the implication being Sayaka made a similar connection in several other timelines.
Pop-Cultured Badass: After she becomes a Magical Girl, she qualifies for being the one most likely to drop a reference to anime or video games about the lifestyle or powers.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red, ironically considering her color theme, to Hitomi's Blue, being the impulsive and outgoing one who jumps into things without fully considering the consequences but doing so with gusto.
Secret-Keeper: Learns about magic in Chapter 5 when she and Madoka get trapped in a Labyrinth and gets caught in a time stop by holding Madoka's hand. She quickly realizes the downsides when she can't comfort Hitomi's worry over Kyosuke when Mami is secretly healing him with her magic. It gets worse when Kyubey asks her to secretly observe Homura and Madoka in order to figure out the former's anomalous nature and possibly get the latter to contract "for the universe's sake".
Sword Beam: Sayaka, after managing to get her sword to shoot its physical blade, starts working on this sort of move.

Kyoko Sakura

Mami's former apprentice and partner, Kyoko is a hard-edged Magical Girl who still retains a good heart deep down. She just has a bunch of issues she needs to sort through, particularly regarding Soulbonds...

Achievements in Ignorance: Kyoko was so determined to eat Mami's cooking she subconsciously used magic to grant herself the ability to digest dairy products where her family otherwise couldn't.
A-Cup Angst: There's a reason that she does not like being called 'Cherry Girl' by Sayaka.
Big Sister Instinct: She was a very good older sister to Momo when she was alive. The fact that Momo's death could even be blamed on Kyoko at all was what Kyubey ended up using to try and drive Kyoko into despair, choosing it over the horrible truths that most Magical Girls can't handle.
Big "SHUT UP!": She screams this at a bunch of Kyubeys as they're blaming her for Momo's death. It doesn't work.
Brought Down to Badass: Despite losing her unique Magical Girl powers derived from her wish, Kyoko is considered a top-tier veteran of the trade with only the basics available to her.
Character Check: Her encounter, and subsequent thinking over, the serial killer Akasuki Suzumebachi led her to rethink her methods, dropping her farming of Familiars and playing by Mami's rules again.
Cry Laughing: When Kyoko awakens to the Soulbond, her response after getting over her disbelief is to break down into uncontrollable laughter than turns into crying, unable to get why God would "bless" her like this when she responsible for destroying the Soulbond of her own parents.
Despair Event Horizon: Almost manages to cross it by accident when she spends too much time thinking about Suzumebachi's "Not So Different" Remark and causing her Soul Gem to darken badly, and then Yuma noticing this causes Kyoko to think back to the last time that happened, which being her family trauma causes her more distress and darkens it further before Yuma grabs a Grief Seed and uses it to clear the Soul Gem.
Drill Sergeant Nasty: Part of Kyoko's mercenary duties for the Wings of the Magius involved training the Black Feathers, where she got to do a lot of yelling at recruits. It helps with giving her practice for mentoring Yuma and Nagisa, though she obviously dials back the shouting and hardass attitude with them.
Everyone Has Standards: Kyoko is very careful not to swear in front of small children, in contrast to her generally crass language in other situations. When she's around Yuma and Nagisa she'd rather sound completely ridiculous than use bad language.
Friend to All Children: Kids like Yuma and Nagisa bring out her better qualities.
Gaining the Will to Kill: Mami notes to Madoka that Kyoko used to very staunchly against lethal force back when she was Mami's apprentice, Mami needing to explain to her that lethal force did have to be a (final) option on the table sometimes. After the death of her family and year separated from Mami, Kyoko is now willing to use lethal force on other Magical Girls.
Green-Eyed Monster: Downplayed, but even beyond her personal trauma over Soulbonds, it's clear that Kyoko isn't happy to realize Mami has two girlfriends and she's not one of them.
Gutted Like a Fish: After Kyoko quit the Magius and the Enforcers were sent after her for taking two Grief Seeds she didn't turn in, Ryoko sicced her dinosaurs on her for a surprise attack and they managed to rip through her stomach and gnaw through her non-dominant arm. While it wasn't enough to kill her outright, she would have been screwed if Yuma hadn't happen to be around at the time and contracted to heal her.
Has a Type: She likes girls with big breasts, and them being competent is also a must. Both of these factors are why Mami was her first crush and why she still has a torch for her even now.
Hidden Depths: She might be a foul-mouthed delinquent, but even discounting her being a veteran Magical Girl she's a Preacher's Kid whose parents were Soulmates, which gives her a decent knowledge of Soulmate theology simply as a manner of upbringing.
Hired Guns: She worked as a mercenary for the Wings of the Magius in Kamihama, serving as both an Enforcer for their missions outside of the city and a trainer for new recruits, but she never became a full-time member due to growing feelings of seeing the Magius as a cult.
It's All My Fault: She blames herself for her family's death, believing that the revelation of what her wish did caused her parents to go insane and burn down their church with Momo trapped with them. As a result, she views herself as having caused the destruction of a Soulbond. In reality, they intentionally burned the church down with themselves inside to free everyone magically enthralled by Pastor Sakura's teachings. Momo just had the horrible misfortune to come back home earlier than expected when the fire was still raging and then rush inside to try and save them, perishing by accident. Of course, Kyubey is fully willing to push on the fact that Kyoko could have saved Momo if she had been with her when she went home instead of staying longer with Mami to avoid her parents after their fight over the reveal of her wish.
Japanese Delinquents: She doesn't go to school, picks fights, and is abrasive, but is a good person deep down.
The Nicknamer: Often calls the non-Mami's in the main cast something, defaulting often to Pinkie (Madoka) or Blueberry (Sayaka). She hasn't seemingly settled on something for Homura.
Not in Front of the Kid: Kyoko replaces her swearing whenever she's around Nagisa or Yuma. Considering she's one of the most foul-mouthed characters around, this crops up a lot. After moving into the Kaname residence, she also applies this standard around Tatsuya.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
- The shock of realizing that The Griefer is still alive and in Mitakihara is enough to make her not only drop the snack bar she was eating, but not pick it up. Her following call to the group has her panicking, and Mami notes that Kyoko never panics, save for the day that everything went wrong with her parents.
- For Homura, seeing Kyoko clam up whenever the subject of Soulbonds comes up is this, as throughout all the time loops she's never seen Kyoko act with such a degree of uncomfortableness and self-loathing.
Psychosomatic Superpower Outage: As with most timelines, the trauma surrounding what happened to her family has resulted in Kyoko being unable to use her Master of Illusion powers. Oriko makes mention that Touka wanted to use extensive brainwashing to remove said trauma and the mental block, but Oriko overruled that by stressing Kyoko is far more useful to the Magius with her free will intact.
Serious Business: Food and her dancing skills. Wasting food on its own or especially throwing away any she offers you without finishing is a Berserk Button, and Sayaka insinuating that she could beat her records on the arcade's D.D.R. machine immediately gets her competitive spirit fired up.
Shower of Angst: She has one after bringing Yuma to her current hideout where she starts thinking over the circumstances that led to Yuma contracting to save her from Ryoko's attack and then thinking about Suzumebachi and how much the killer disgusted her with her "Not So Different" Remark.
Storm of Blades: She can create dozens of spears at once to impale targets of her choice either from down from the sky or up from the ground after an initial spear stab into it, but even for her it takes quite a bit of magic to the point she openly wonders how Mami can do her More Dakka trick so easily.
Unkempt Beauty: Being a Street Rat for a period of time and before that being poor means Kyoko only does the bare minimum upkeep on herself, but she's quite the pretty teen even without it. Her casually admitting she doesn't need to brush or even shampoo her long hair (only using hand soap if she wants to get out any smells) to keep it naturally smooth and flowing to the point she never gets bedhead, something she puts down to genetics since her mom and Momo were the same, is enough to leave all of her Soulmates speechless.

Mitakihara Characters

Hitomi Shizuki

Madoka and Sayaka's other best friend, Hitomi is a girl from a rich family who is not without her own troubles. In some timelines, she's also been a Magical Girl.

Abusive Parents: Downplayed, but Sayaka outright says they are the worst of their parents for a reason, and they basically are the only ones to blame Hitomi for being kidnapped.
Armored Closet Gay: Homura notes in some timelines that, despite how flustered girls loving girls can make Hitomi sometimes, Hitomi is not straight. This flustering doesn't seem to happen in some timelines, including the current one.
Badass Bookworm: Between her and her friends she gets the best grades despite her lack of time to study, and even considers using a wish by Kyubey to get her parents to stop pressuring her into more high society classes to study more. When she contracts and becomes a Magical Girl, it doesn't take her long to figure out how to essentially weaponize vacuums.
Badass in Distress: After contracting, Hitomi gains the power of teleportation, up to and including the power to strike enemies with the fundamental forces of nature by exploiting vacuums. Unfortunately for her she trusted a serial killer with mind control powers and ends Chapter 11 in a bad place. Chapter 13 sees her rescued from this place.
Be Careful What You Wish For: Hitomi wanted her parents to lay off the extracurriculars, and they did. Because they are absolutely furious with her for being kidnapped, clearly against her will, and vanishing with a large amount of unrecoverable money for two days.
Bottomless Magazines: While being controlled by Akasuki and fighting Homura, the latter notices how dark Hitomi's Soul Gem is and notes that under normal circumstances she should have already turned into a Witch, not continuing to fire off magic without a care. Homura theorizes Akasuki's control of her victims can put them right at the edge of transforming to the point they can access a Witch's seemingly bottomless magical reserves as long as she doesn't allow them the final push over.
Death Seeker: Briefly crosses this line in despair at the thought of being forced to kill Madoka by Akasuki, as well as not wanting to end up as a Witch. Luckily for her, Homura is able to stop her from doing any of that.
Everyone Has Standards: Despite her occasional reactions to girls loving girls, Hitomi across timelines has never rejected Madoka in any timeline she and Homura dated.
Fighting Your Friend: Akasuki forces her to try to kill Madoka and Sayaka, and ultimately ends up fighting Madoka's Soulmate Homura.
Hidden Depths:
- Hitomi might be a popular and well off student, but the pressures that her parents are putting on her with all the extracurricular activities are starting to get at her. Enough that Kyubey's offer of granting a wish seriously tempts her to use it to make her parents back off.
- She's just as much of a pop culture nerd as Sayaka, she just tends to have different opinions on various media than Sayaka does.
Properly Paranoid: While tempted by Kyubey's offer of a wish, Hitomi picks up on the "contract" part (implying an exchange) and the fact he's being less forthcoming with information than one might expect for such a deal. As such, she decides she's not buying unless he tell her everything and he can take his offer elsewhere. Unfortunately, she wasn't paranoid enough in properly telling him this.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Sayaka's Red, being the cautious and levelheaded one who hesitates to make big decisions and often has to be dragged into things.
Stress Vomit: Becoming a Magical Girl caused her to vomit up her dinner.
The Unreveal: While Homura has seen her Witch form in past timelines and Hitomi does hear it talk to her in chapter 13, ultimately what sort of Witch Hitomi would become is unseen and unspecified. The name of the Witch is known however, being Coppelia.
Unwitting Muggle Friend: Following Sayaka becoming a secret keeper, she becomes this until the end of chapter 10.
Weak, but Skilled: After Homura, she has the lowest raw magical power of the Mitakihara Middle School girls, and as such Kyubey often ignores her. When contracted she gains the power to strike her targets with something approximating a vacuum bomb with only moderate experimentation with her teleportation powers and is so dangerous if she was to try and kill someone that Homura is best suited to handle her powers safely.
Weaponized Teleportation: This is her main offensive technique, being able to teleport objects on top of her enemies or throw them at them by via the compass needle on her Magic Staff. One of her most devastating techniques involves teleporting the space around a target away and blasting them with the sudden implosion as air rushes in to fill the vacuum. However, she has to point her Magic Staff itself at the target she wants to teleport in order to use it.
You Are Grounded!: Her parents basically put her under lockdown after she's rescued from Akasuki, blaming her for being kidnapped.

Kaname Family (Junko, Tomihisa, and Tatsuya)

Madoka's mother, father, and younger brother. Her precious family who take in her Soulmates as needed.

Amicable Exes: Both Juno and Tomihisa dated Kazuko Saotome, Madoka's teacher, in college. At the same time. They are still good friends, with Kazuko occasionally lamenting that she didn't marry them when the offer came up.
Cheerful Child: Tatsuya is a sweet young boy who can make even Homura smile.
Everyone Has Standards: A sillier example than anything, but the tour guide who gives the auto factory tours the schools all send the students to is so boring that even Tomihisa outright calls him such.
Former Teen Rebel: Junko's first meeting with Kyoko suggests she was a delinquent in her youth.
Functional Alcoholic: Junko's a successful businesswoman whose after-work drinking just happens to occasionally lead to memory loss and mistaking her husband for their shared ex.
Good Parents: Both Junko and Tomohisa are very kind parents who are always willing to help out Madoka and her friends and Soulmates but know when and where to set lines.
Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Junko is the family breadwinner and Tomihisa is the housekeeper. Junko drinks hard and Tomihisa grows tomatoes.
Nice Guy: Tomohisa doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body. At worst he and Mami sometimes compete over kitchen space. Kyoko outright pegs Madoka's trusting nature to him.
Sex God: Implied, mostly in jest but never quite disproven, with Junko joking that Madoka inherited Tomihisa's 'studliness' and Sayaka thinking to herself once that the two had ruined their teacher for other men before immediately banishing that thought.

Kazuko Saotome

Madoka's homeroom teacher whose romantic woes are a source of humor. She's an old friend of Madoka's parents,in fact she's more than that.

Amicable Exes: She was very close to marrying both of Madoka's parents at the same time and they are still good friends. She's lamented at least once she didn't take them up on the offer.
Noodle Incident:
- Offhand mentions of past romantic rants about breakups over napkin prep and specific tableware.
- According to Junko, there is a reason she specifically bothers Nakazawa when her romantic relationships go belly up, a 'long and sorid reason' that is apparently on Junko's list of stories to tell when its time to discuss the 'juicy stories' when her daughter turns fifteen.
Old Maid: While she can still get a boyfriend, the relationships struggle and being the age of Madoka's parents, who have a fourteen year old daughter, makes her a little sensitive about it. Homura at one point outright thinks of her as an old maid in the context of how calling her that to her face would be something one only does if one has a death wish.
Sensei-chan: She could do with trying to act more mature than her students instead of ranting about her love life.

Kyosuke Kamijo

A musical prodigy who was in a severe car accident before the time loops began. The unlikely status of his future musical prospects greatly concern Sayaka and Hitomi.

Hope Is Scary: Among the reasons for his bad mood is that Kyosuke finds the idea of waiting for good news when he's constantly had bad news to be depressing.
Innocently Insensitive: While he does cause Sayaka and Hitomi distress, he isn't malicious by nature. He's just in a bad place and unaware of their feelings towards him.
Jerkass Realization: After Mami's healing bettered his state to a point that surgical repairs of his injuries become not just possible, but guaranteed to succeed, Kyosuke leaves his funk and realizes he'd been a jerk to a lot of people, including Sayaka, Hitomi, and his nurses. He apologizes for this afterwards.
Romantic False Lead: Sayaka starts the story quite interested in him, but with her set to be one of Madoka's Soulmates and not one of his, it won't go anywhere.
Unwitting Muggle Friend: Just like Hitomi, he has no idea that those around him are magic, or that a Magical Girl is healing him in his sleep.

Nagisa Momoe

A young girl from a bad place, Nagisa contracts as a Magical Girl in Chapter 6. Is mostly known to Homura for her Witchself, Charlotte the Dessert Witch.

Abusive Parents: By all accounts her mom is quite terrible to her. Part of the reason Mami lets her stay in her apartment is to keep away from her, knowing that Nagisa's mother won't try and retrieve her.
Bubble Gun: Her trumpet shoots magic bubbles, which she can give various properties like creating a literal Bubble Shield.
Disappeared Dad: If anyone asks, her papa is away on a business trip. In actuality, he's not around at all.
Does Not Know Her Own Strength: The first clear understanding of her new prowess as a Magical Girl comes when Mami tells her to jump as high as she can. Nagisa does...and starts clearing buildings to her surprise.
Food-Based Superpowers: On top of creating bubbles, Nagisa is also able to use food as part of her attacks, such as bubblegum to bind foes and gobsmackers to strike direct blows.
Guns Akimbo: She briefly held two trumpets like this when she practiced the weapon generation part of her powerset, but quickly gave up on it when she realized she still only had one mouth to blow into them and thus making Dual Wielding redundant.
Minor Living Alone: She lives alone in Mami's apartment, occasionally with an additional resident like Yuma or Kyoko, with Mami providing her with food and utilities. As her mother is abusive, everyone finds this a better arrangement.

Nakazawa

A classmate of Madoka and company who is constantly badgered by Ms. Saotome when her romances go poorly.

Butt-Monkey: He's the teacher's punching bag for some reason and often used as a joke in-story, even Candeloro will throw shade at him by suggesting Homura would beat him with a dead fish and consider it a good date with Madoka.

Yuma Chitose

A young girl from a bad place, Yuma is a Magical Girl who irregularly contracts through the time loops, but has a tendency to bond quickly with Kyoko whenever she does. It proves no different in this universe where she contracts to heal Kyoko from a magical dinosaur mauling, and Kyoko is determined to watch out for her even if that means slamming an abusive mother into a wall.

Carry a Big Stick: Her weapon is a mace, though it's described more like a staff with a large paw-shaped head. She can make the head grow to increase her attack power and range.
Healing Hands: Her wish was to heal Kyoko's injuries after she found her badly wounded from a surprise attack by Ryoko's dinosaurs. As a result, her personal magic now lets her heal herself and others.
Kids Hate Vegetables: Or at least she doesn't like carrots all that much, enough to risk asking Kyoko about not eating them. Kyoko just advises to ask them to be left out of her salad, which she happily takes to.
Please, Don't Leave Me: When Ryoko finally tracks down Kyoko but offers to let Yuma go since she's uninvolved in Magius business, Yuma immediately begs for Kyoko to not let her go.
Raised by Grandparents: Not initially, but she's taken in by her grandparents after her mother's guilty verdict who are a vast improvement as guardians. Kyoko herself is still welcome around her for saving her from her mother's abuse.

Kamihama Magical Girls

Iroha Tamaki

A Magical Girl from Takarazaki City who came to Kamihama City following visions. Upon arriving her life changed dramatically as not only did she realized she had a little sister who has gone missing from everyone's memories, but she finds herself with three Soulmates: Yachiyo, Kanae, and Mel.

Big Sister Instinct: She freaks out when she realizes her little sister Ui both existed and is missing, and her goal is to find not just Ui, but Ui's Soulmates Touka and Nemu, who she also considers her sisters.
Excellent Judge of Character: One of her greatest strengths is not her combat ability, but her knack for being able to read the intentions of her opponents with nothing but their expressions to go off of. Her ability to tell that Motoko Beyaku didn't want to fight just from observing her eyes allows her to take the gamble to mount a rescue operation and save her siblings being used as hostages, thus turning the fight against Neo-Monzenbashi into a rout in short order once the press-ganged members started fighting back against their tormentors.
Heroic BSoD: Having her memories of Ui, Touka, and Nemu restored causes Iroha to freak out, and combined with getting her Soulmarks at the same time caused Momoko to think she was having a seizure.
Hero of Another Story: Her plot line in Magia Record is no less important to the overall narrative than Homura and her Soulmates, especially considering her connections to the Wings of the Magius, but since the main POV at the moment is in Mitakihara her adventures in Kamihama take a backseat (though chapters where her side is the main focus are helpfully marked as 'Kamihama Interludes').
Locked Out of the Loop: She's the only one in her Soulbounded Quartet who is yet unaware of the full story behind Mifuyu's death, as to explain it would also reveal the Awful Truth about Witches. It's to the point when Yachiyo starts having a nightmare back to how Mifuyu died which Iroha witnesses through a Shared Dream, Yachiyo forcibly ended the dream before the pivotal moment just to prevent Iroha from seeing it. Notably, she knows they're hiding a horrible truth from her, but she'll accept their wishes for now, as they have promised to tell her eventually (either after Ui is found, or if the search takes a while).
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: She was the normal fish in Takarazaki, where she was a solid Magical Girl for quite some time. Once she arrives in Kamihama however, she is 'helpfully' informed by Mitama she's just a few notches above canon fodder in terms of raw magical power.

Yachiyo Nanami

A well-respected Magical Girl veteran of Kamihama, considered by many to be the strongest in the city. With her Soulmates Kanae and Mel she's also secure in a way few others are, further amplified when Iroha becoems her final Soulmate. However, she's long been dealing with a personal crisis over how she got that powerful and harsh mistakes that still haunt her.

Achilles in His Tent: Existing worries about the nature of her power and the sudden shocks of Mifuyu's death and transformation into a Witch and taking out a fake Griefer who was in reality a controlled shapeshifting child left Yachiyo in a lengthy funk that led her to withdraw from Magical Girl life for months. She only exited it a month before Iroha arrived when a Uwasa turned her old rival Kanagi into a vampire and said vampire Kanagi broke into her house, drawing her back out to investigate the Uwasas.
Adaptational Badass: A minor one; canonically, Yachiyo's power boost came solely from "receiving the hopes" of her fallen friends, Mel and Kanae. Here, as Mel and Kanae are her Soulmates and thus still alive, Yachiyo has received the hopes of others such as other fallen Magical Girls, her best friend Mifuyu, and even her grandmother.
Big Eater: Despite being a model, Yachiyo eats much more than one would expect. During a group breakfast, she notably gets a much bigger pile of chocolate-chip pancakes than her other Soulmates while chiding Mel for wanting more chocolate chips in her pile that's only a third the size of her own.
Blessed with Suck: Yachiyo is one of the few Magical Girls who can increase their raw magical power on her own, allowing her power to increase over time to a point she's one of two known Magical Girls to be stronger than Touka in raw power (the other being Madoka). However she does this by absorbing the magical power of those around her when they die if they "entrust" anything to her in their dying moments, including her best friend and dear grandmother. The implications, and the fact it would be easy to accuse her of letting people die to get stronger, weighs heavily on her.
Broken Ace: Considered by most the strongest Magical Girl in Kamihama City and currently the strongest in all of Japan (with only the yet uncontracted Madoka surpassing her in power), plus is well-known as a model and is well-respected by Kamihama's Magical Girl population even across socio-economic divides, but is dealing with the personal issue of angsting over the nature of how that incredible power has come about, the death of her closest friend Mifuyu and being unable to save her, and implicitly knowing the truth about Magical Girls and Witches even a year after the fact.
My Greatest Failure: Being unable to save her best friend Mifuyu from becoming a Witch and dying at the hands of The Griefer. It was so bad that it badly affected her role as a protector to Kamihama and strained her friendship with Momoko, and it's resulted in her developing something of a violent protective instinct over her Soulmates.
Serious Business: Money and sales are this for her, being quite into sales and being the frugal breadwinner for her Soulmates. It's telling then that she bought Kanae's motorcycle at full price as a present.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: The first words Yachiyo ever said to Iroha were asking her about what was causing her harm and where was it so that she could destroy it. Understandable, considering that when Iroha awakened to the Soulbond, it was triggered by the shock of recovering her lost memories of her missing little sister Ui, and Kanae and Mel in all of the excitement of getting to Iroha and using Mel's power completely neglected to give Yachiyo a status update about what was going on. This led Yachiyo to assume everything from human kidnapping, gang violence, attacks by roving magical girls, monsters attacks, Witch attacks, traffic casualties, and torture among others.

Kanae Yukino

A Magical Girl and one of Iroha and Yachiyo's Soulmates. She has the look of a delinquent, but she's a dependable sort. She was taken in by Yachiyo's beloved grandmother and has a poor relationship with her own parents.

Biker Babe: Just to complete her delinquent look, Yachiyo bought her a motorcycle that the four Soulmates use to get around the city.
Face of a Thug: By her own admittance, she lacks the looks that would let her work in a maid cafe, and Iroha's first impression of her was to think that if she saw a girl with that face coming at her with any intent, she'd want to run away. However, at worst she's just protective of those she cares about, like how she was ready to paste Little Kyubey because she thought he was trying to manipulate Iroha with possible altered memories of Ui.
Spared by the Adaptation: In Record, she died in a Heroic Sacrifice to protect Yachiyo and bring down a Witch that shattered her Soul Gem in turn. Here, that never happened.
Top Wife: Downplayed, but it's notable that Kanae was the first of Yachiyo's Soulmates to awaken and is the only one who actually sleeps in the same bed with her. It's implied though that just because Mel and Iroha at the moment are a little too young for Yachiyo to feel (legally) comfortable with sleeping with the way she does with Kanae.

Mel Anna

A Magical Girl and one of Iroha and Yachiyo's Soulmates. Originally from the poorer east of the city, she lives with Yachiyo now but often meets back up with her family.

Clingy Sleepers: Something Iroha quickly figured out is that Mel likes cuddling in her sleep. Kanae implies it's partially based on how Mel couldn't sleep in the same bed with her and Yachiyo for a long time through what's implied to be legal age difference.
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Mel's powers can predict the future perfectly, unlike Oriko whose future visions are subject to interpretation, but they also lock the future into that path for good or for ill compared to Oriko's being mutable. For this reason Yachiyo forbids her from using them as she used to, and using them to verify Ui's existence and survival is not done lightly.
Nice Girl: She disapproves of the idea of abusing her fortune-telling powers to make her bullies have bad luck and she reins in Kanae from doing anything drastic to them either, which would certainly require a certain level of personal saintliness.
Spared by the Adaptation: In Record, she Witched Out into Etteila after burning out her magic in a tough fight and ultimately was put out of her misery by Yachiyo and Mifuyu during the events of the game. Here, the fight that would have done that didn't go in that direction.
Uptown Girl: Since she's from the poorer east district and now lives with one of the most respected Magical Girls in the city as one of her Soulmates in a much richer part of the city, this is a given. She doesn't get quite as much mocking for her status as she did canonically, mostly because Kanae and Yachiyo would happily crack the skulls of anyone dumb enough to try.
Willfully Weak: Mel's full powers are forbidden from active use by Yachiyo because she'd basically lock every possibility down to a single one if she used them unchecked, good or bad.
You Can't Fight Fate: Unlike Oriko's future visions, her powers set the future down an unchangeable path. This is why Yachiyo rarely ever wants her using the full extent of her powers, with Mel instead limited to uses that let her get less definitive reads instead.

Mifuyu Azusa

Yachiyo's best friend, a fellow veteran Magical Girl whose wish granted her illusionary powers. She died a year before the events of the story at the hands of The Griefer and Kyubey.

Adaptational Heroism: Due to dying before the formation of The Wings of The Magius, Mifuyu remained Yachiyo's supportive friend until the end.
And Then John Was a Zombie: Made to fall into despair by Kyubey and forced to turn into a Witch in front of Yachiyo, Mel, Kanae, and Momoko as part of a plan to make Yachiyo fall into despair herself.
Death by Adaptation: In the inverse to Mel and Kanae who were spared, Mifuyu died to fill a similar role to their deaths in regards to Yachiyo's mental state.
Green-Eyed Monster: Despite her steadfast friendship with Yachiyo, Mifuyu was slowly growing small doubts thanks to various personal problems starting to eat at her, plus a part of her was genuinely jealous Yachiyo was blessed to have multiple Soulmates while she had none (or that she wasn't one of Yachiyo's). However, Kyubey and Suzumebachi's actions put rest to Mifuyu having any hope of reconciling those thoughts.

Momoko Togame

A friendly Magical Girl whose a former teammate of Yachiyo's. She leads her own team of three Magical Girls whose names are Rena and Kaede.

Dark Secret: Along with the typical two that a Magical Girl can know, that being the origin of Witches and the nature of Soul Gem, she's also one of very few Magical Girls in Kamihama to know that the true name of Kyubey is Incubator.
Ms. Exposition: Fulfills this for Iroha when she arrives in Kamihama.
Nice Girl: Goes out of he way to help Iroha when she arrives in Kamihama and helps her quickly meet her Soulmates. While she has issues with Yachiyo she's nothing but nice to Kanae and Mel and doesn't seem to hold a grudge of them having to focus on keeping Yachiyo stable over keeping the team going.
We Used to Be Friends: She and Yachiyo used to be very close friends, but the fallout of Mifuyu's death and how Yachiyo shut down as a result put a heavy strain on their friendship. Momoko is still on at least cordial terms with Mel and Kanae, and she has no hard feelings at all about Iroha once she awakens to the quartet's Soulbond, but it's clear her feelings on "The Lump" has only barely improved since Yachiyo is now at least bothering to get out again. By the time of the second Interlude things had improved further between the two.

Mitama Yakumo

A Coordinator, a type of Magical Girl who can adjust the Soulgems of others to let them bring out more power. A bit of a tease, but she will offer genuine advice between her jests.

The Gadfly: Will tease and prod her customers in everything from their costumes to their power levels.
Intimate Healing: The process of empowering other Magical Girls lets her see into their memories. For Iroha this put her in the direction of something being off about her memories, while this is the exact reason Kyoko never used her services, not wanting a 'weirdo' looking in her head.
Lethal Chef: Her cooking is so bad that Emiri wonders if it’s cursed enough to defeat the Uwasa of the Seance Shrine.
Non-Action Guy: Mitama isn't able to fight, so she gets her Grief Seed needs via her services rendered.

Kanagi Izumi

One of the other veteran Magical Girls of Kamihama who has been around for ages. She's the leader of the Magical Girls in the east of Kamihama, a poorer region. Despite historical issues, she respects Yachiyo.

Cosplay Café: Due to her family's poor finances she works at a maid cafe under the alias Nagitan due to it paying well.
Friendly Rival: While she and Yachiyo do compete for influence, Kanagi's rather fond of her. Yachiyo is many things, but a stuck-up elitist she isn't.
A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read: In the non-canon Soulmate Doppel sidestory, she looks into Rika’s mind while she’s affected by Ren doppeling out, and the resulting incoherent mess of love and violence replaces her witnessing Tsukasa’s implicitly-Twincestuous thoughts about her sister as the most disturbing thing she’s witnessed.
Reasonable Authority Figure: While she is genuinely distrustful of other lead Magical Girls, she's not inflexible about it. She had no problems entrusting her subordinate to Yachiyo's care when Mel gained her Soulmark and has no issue working with Yachiyo to investigate the Uwasas and the mysterious group drawing away her subordinates as long as the other wards play along.
Transhuman Treachery: While turned into a vampire by an Uwasa, she had no hesitation going after her old subordinates.

Meiyui Chun

The little-known champion of the Blue Seas Family and one of Nanaka’s teammates.

Skilled, but Naive: A Magical Girl veteran who has lasted for many years, but managed to be completely unaware of not only the nature of Witches, but also of Soul Gems until the events of the story.
Transhuman Treachery: Was one of the Magical Girls transformed into a supernatural being by an Uwasa, and attacked her teammates while in this state.
Werewolves Are Dogs: After being turned into a werewolf by an Uwasa, she was subdued by ear scratches.

Nanaka Tokiwa

The pragmatic leader of her team.

It's All My Fault: Attempts to blame herself for the Ripper’s continued killings because she prioritized driving her off instead of risking her teammates’ lives to kill her. Matsuri is having none of it.

Akira Shinobu

Another member of Nanaka’s team. Akira is a martial artist who, when not working with Nanaka, finds herself as one of Emiri's minions.

Badass in Distress: Once lost her Soul Gem and passed out as a result, which led to Nanaka realizing the truth of Soul Gems.
Strong and Skilled: Was trained in karate before becoming a Magical Girl, meaning she can mix her martial arts with superhuman strength. She notably was shown defeating a Neo-Monzenbashi core member (one with burns) before Iroha's catch turned the battle drastically in Kamihama's favor.

Kako Natsume

The youngest and most innocent member of Nanaka’s team.

The Baby of the Bunch: The youngest member of her team.
Locked Out of the Loop: Nanaka and Meiyui agree to keep the secrets of Soul Gems and Witches from her.

Hinano Miyako

The veteran leader of the central region of Kamihama. While she has a short size, she's been around a long time. Her magic allows her to create and control chemical compounds and reactions, from explosions to solid elements like gold and even uranium.

Badass Boast: Drops one on Bella Donna while chiding her for thinking that her ability to make a Truth Serum somehow makes her an expert on what chemistry is.
"That’s not chemistry. Anything that is called truth serum really just makes someone susceptible to suggestions. I could make a ‘truth serum’ and inject Mitama with them and get her to give me a free tune-up, but actually getting her to tell the truth with that is impossible. At least, not yet. Chemistry is an infinite possibility, where the smallest interaction of atoms shapes the world itself. Our very perception of the world around us is chemical reactions. We are naught but the medium by which the universe understands itself. Do you really want to test what can be done by one who truly understands the processes at play in that observation?"
Chemistry Can Do Anything: Boasts about the wide applicability of her magic to Bella Donna.
Mundane Utility: Can use her magic to create and sell gold, which has paid for her college fund. However, she has to be careful overusing it since she could easily cause the global market to collapse from oversaturation of gold, or just end up caught and arrested.
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: Downplayed, as Hinano notes compared to titans like Yachiyo or Sute she can come across as weak, but that's because she's holding back her chemistry magic's vast applications and even with those self-imposed limits she could easily carve out a large territory for herself outside of Kamihama.
Weak, but Skilled: She freely admits there are plenty of magical girls out there who eclipse her in raw power, but points out that with the sheer number of applications her chemistry magic gives her, combined with her own intellect to use them, she's never needed to rely on raw power to win her battles.
Willfully Weak: As she points out to Bella Donna, her chemistry magic has so many applications that she has to intentionally limit herself with it in a fight since it would be so easy to whip up something that would cause horrific and mentally-scarring damage to her opponents. As such, she's not anywhere near as intimidated by the Super Mode staring her in the face as might be expected.

Emiri Kisaki

A young girl who runs a counseling service.

Didn't Think This Through: Her advice to Rika led to Rika making a wish she would later regret, and according to Bella Donna, her attempt to set Hinano up with younger boys could likely have gotten Hinano arrested.
The Nicknamer: Gives nicknames quickly to those around her, such as Akiracchi and Mizumi for Akira and Mizuki.

Tsuruno Yui

One of the old team that Yachiyo led before Mifuyu's death. Since reunited, she reconnected with Yachiyo with fewer bumps than Momoko. Adores her family restaurant, even if her promotions of it could use work.

Always Someone Better: Rika notes that while Tsuruno can sometimes make her feel that way, as despite her antics she is legitimately strong and capable of hitting targets with immense firepower on a whim in a way Rika can't.
Beware the Silly Ones: Tsuruno is a very energetic genki girl who can't advertise her family's restaurant properly for her life, but she's also one of the strongest Magical Girls in Kamihama. She notably took down two Neo-Monzenbashi and was going after a third even before the fight fully shifted in Kamihama's favor.
Cluster F-Bomb: Tsuruno combines this with a massive fireball to make a somewhat literal version of this, trying to destroy the Uwasa of the Seance Shrine, whose weakness is curses, with a massive fire attack merged with the 'Banbanzai Forbidden Swear'. It didn't work.
Playing with Fire: She manipulates fire as part of her magic.

Rika Ayano

A Magical Girl who came to regret her wish for love, only to find a Soulmate in Ren.

Berserk Button: The Uwasa of the Seance Shrine infuriates her due to playing with peoples’ emotions like how she did with her wish. Bella Donna agreed.

Ren Isuzu

A newer Magical Girl whose wish to live led to her finding a Soulmate in Rika. One of the initial Uwasa victims, her time turned into a Succubus might have some unexpected long term benefits.

Achievements in Ignorance: While transformed and completely out of her mind, Ren managed to set Rika up for being able to merge with Bella Donna into a super mode. This was not intentional, and the required circumstances are ones that may not be able to be replicated.
Dream Walker: While turned into a succubus by an Uwasa, her tail let her end up in Rika’s dreams and meet her Witch, Bella Donna.
Happily Failed Suicide: Using her Wish to save herself from her own suicide attempt led to her Soulbonding with Rika.
New Transfer Student: It's mentioned that Ren transferred to Rika's school after they Soulbonded.
Shrinking Violet: Naturally quiet and nervous, even after a fair bit of work by Rika and her own experiences as a Magical Girl. Hinano outright uses her as a 'canary in the coal mine' as a result, as if she's not being scared by something, like her Soulmate's fusion with Bella Donna, then it can't be as bad as it might seem at first glance.
Transhuman Treachery: One of the Magical Girls transformed into a monster by an Uwasa, though her actions were mostly limited to abducting Rika and flying off.

Rena Minami

A member of Momoko's team. A tsundere, Rena and Kaede often squabble, but they do like each other. They are just bad at showing it.

Master of Disguise: Her magic allows her to disguise herself as other people.
Support Party Member: Her magic isn't good for direct combat, but it is useful in support. She and Mitama are both noted as having powers that would be much harder to make work outside of Kamihama than within it.
Tsundere: It is basically impossible for Rena to be open about her feelings.
Vitriolic Best Buds: She and Kaede squabble and fight a lot, it got them in trouble with the Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase, but they are in fact friends. Rena's just bad at admitting it.

Kaede Akino

A member of Momoko's team. A lot more nervous and timid than her teammates, this causes her and Rena to squabble.

Cowardly Lion: Momoko outright admits she'd probably traumatize Kaede for life if she ever shook her too hard the way Iroha did to her and she's often mentioned to be scared and nervous by nature. Despite this she's willing to face down Witches, Uwasas, and enemy magical girls, despite her timidity.
Green Thumb: Her power lets her control plants, often using vines to bind things.
Vitriolic Best Buds: She and Kaede squabble and fight a lot, it got them in trouble with the Uwasa of the Friendship Ending Staircase, but they are in fact friends. Rena's just bad at admitting it.

Felicia Mitsuki

An orphaned mercenary that gets taken in by Iroha and her team.

The Cameo: Appears asleep at the end of Kamihama Interlude 2, the events of her debut story having occurred offscreen.

Other Magical Girls

Sora

Sayaka's cousin from Sorashido City. Unbeknownst to Sayaka, she's a Magical Girl too.

Adaptation Species Change: The author notes in a comment she is (almost certainly) a human turned Magical Girl instead of a skylandian turned Magical Girl.
Battle Couple: She and Mashiro are Soulmate Magical Girls who keep the peace in Sorashido.
The Ghost: She's not been seen in story, only mentioned by Kanagi (indirectly) and Sayaka. Her main story impact is (probably) being the one who told Sayaka the names of the girls who died to The Griefer in Sorashido, which Sayaka listed off while beating Akasuki.
Mutual Masquerade: Sayaka has no idea her cousin is a Magical Girl, and Sora certainly has no idea about Sayaka's adventures either.
Official Couple: With her Soulmate Mashiro.

Takako Takeda

A Magical Girl from outside of Mitakihara who arrives in desperate search of Witches and Grief Seeds, spurred on by the Witch Drought plaguing all of Japan. She however fears much more than simply running out of magic, a fear that was realized in many other timelines as the Armors Witch.

Big Eater: She eats about three servings before she actually gets down to talking to Homura properly, but Homura doesn't blame her as being two weeks on the verge of spiritual starvation had an effect and she likely needs it.
But Now I Must Go: After sharing a meal and info with Homura, Takako, mostly due to being caught on camera in forbidden parts of the Mitakihara Zoo and needing to leave town, decides she'll go onwards to Kamihama, parting on good terms with Homura.
Cool Sword: Her main weapon is a sword described as broader than Sayaka's cutlass, but still has the "knightly" image to it.
Despair Event Horizon: Homura finds her teetering on the edge of it, as she's spent two weeks searching for Grief Seeds, her Soul Gem is heavily dark, and she knows very well the fate awaiting her. However, she's not so far gone that she'd jump to trying to murder Homura off the bat, and Homura cleansing her Gem and giving her a pep talk about that terrible secret seems to have pulled her away from becoming the Armors Witch just yet.
Ms. Exposition: She informs Homura directly and by extension the Mitakihara gang sans Kyoko (who still isn't present) of the going-ons outside of the city, mainly the Witch Drought and how it's been affecting various cities and their Magical Girl populations. She also shares more info about Kamihama and reveals important info about several Magical Girl Serial Killers rumored to be active: "The Ripper" (Suzune) and "The Griefer" (Akasuki) while inadvertedly confirming "The Black Magical Girl" (Kirika) isn't a thing in this timeline.
Knight in Shining Armor: Implied to be her usual mindset, as her outfit is described as "European aristocratic" in aesthetic, her weapon is described as a "knightly" sword, and her father is a police officer who she implies instilled in her a strong sense of duty and justice.
O.C. Stand-in: Unlike several of the other Original Character Magical Girls and Witches in the story, the Armors Witch is canon from Oriko Magica and there was a on-page depiction of her original Magical Girl form which is used here for Takako, but nothing else of note about her powers or character, which was created whole-cloth from there.
Secret-Keeper: She knows the truth about the relationship between Magical Girls and Witches, having seen a friend of hers turn and be devoured by Cancri, and thus adding a further desperate motive to her search for Grief Seeds. She's happy to finally share it with a fellow keeper in Homura, and reluctant but accepting of Homura's desire to keep her friends (especially Mami) in the dark for now.

Mayumi Uozumi

A Magical Girl from Tsurihama City (and its self-proclaimed "Queen") driven to Mitakihara by the Witch drought, though she rather arrogantly assumes she can just take the territory for herself. Has the power to induce crippling hunger in anyone she strikes.

Berserk Button: Don't you dare imply Mayumi was fat in any way before making her wish (even if she's willing to insult the weight of others), unless you want to be immediately struck by debilitating hunger pains.
Evil Counterpart: Or at least very anti-heroic counterpart, but her wish is very similar to Ria Ami's from Magia Record, as it is implied the latter was also fat before her own wish. However while Ria certainly has an ego, she's still ultimately a nice girl, just with several obnoxious traits. Mayumi by all accounts lacks any of the niceties that make Ria an ultimately good person.
Foreshadowing: Kyoko idly notes that Mayumi's Soul Gem appears to be darker than a Magical Girl would usually be comfortable with, which not only makes it clear she's here in response to the Witch Drought, but unbeknownst to Kyoko means she's in danger of becoming a Witch soon, a fate that becomes reality not long after Kyoko drives her off in a rage.
Formerly Fat: All but stated to have been Mayumi Uozumi's situation and what her wish was about, as Kyoko sarcastically claims she used it to "wish for those last forty kilos off" (which immediately causes Mayumi to attack her in a rage) and Mayumi's Witch has a Labyrinth filled with high-calorie foods and eating utensils while the Witch itself despite being a nightmarish swan is noted by Hitomi to be much wider than it is tall (and it's over three times her own height already).
Heart Is an Awesome Power: She the power to inflict a feeling of starvation and immense hunger on her targets, which is based on her implied wish to lose weight. Sayaka outright questions this power, but Homura does note that the power is in fact rather dangerous as few people, even Witches, can fight hungry. It just was the opposite of useless to use on Kyoko, who has a history of being starved; being struck with the power just made her angry enough to see red.
Killed Offscreen: Turned into Svena the Swan Witch in at best days after Kyoko chased her off, and the fact she showed up in Mitakihara anyways suggests she snuck back in but couldn't find a Witch and/or Grief Seed in time to avert her transformation.
Original Character: One of story's wholly-original Magical Girls.
Raven Hair, Ivory Skin: Has a similar complexion to Homura, with dark hair and pale skin.

Haruka Kamada

A rural Magical Girl (or 'Diviner' as they call themselves) from Tokiyama Village, she journeyed to Mitakihara in search of Witches/'Devils' to hunt, even if that means encountering the supposedly-selfish Magical Girls of the city. Her wish/'prayer' was to bring rain to her village, something she's quite thankful to 'Great Kyubey' for.

Armor-Piercing Question: Before she sits down to talk terms with Homura and Mami, she demands to know their 'prayers' as she heard that city Magical Girls wish for selfish things like money or revenge, with the implication being she would fight them if she didn't like the answer. Luckily, while mulling over Homura's answer (Mami wished to save her own life, Homura to save another's life) she takes notice of their Soulbond and decides this makes them trustworthy regardless, as no one "blessed by other gods" could truly be evil.
Blow You Away: The first major application of her power Mami and Homura see is the ability to manipulate wind. When her mood shifts the wind changes in response, and she can listen through the winds on long-distance communications, such as hearing police conversations.
Call a Rabbit a "Smeerp": As a Magical Girl from a rural village, she uses terminology related to those of the Tokime Clan (and it's implied Tokiyama Village is descended from a branch family of the clan) such as 'Diviner' for Magical Girl, 'Devil' for Witch, and 'prayer' for wish.
Improbable Weapon User: Her weapons are a set of drum hammers and a single taiko drum floating alongside her. Given her powers, it's implied to be a Thunder Drum.
One-Steve Limit: Averted as she has the same given name as one of Matsuri’s deceased teammates.
Original Character: One of story's wholly-original Magical Girls.
Religious Bruiser: Being a Magical Girl the "Bruiser" part is almost guaranteed, and the "Religious" part comes from how villages like hers worship "The Great Kyubey" as a god and she herself also believes Soulbonds are the blessings of gods.
Stripperific: Her ensemble consists of pants and a sports bra, which makes her by Homura's own reckoning the most scantily-clad Magical Girl she's ever met.
Weather Manipulation: Her wish was to bring rain to her village, and this manifests in the ability to manipulate the weather to some extent. She seems to favor the winds in particular.

The Pleiades Saints

A group of Magical Girls from Asunaro City. In the current Witch Drought, their city is known to be one of the few remaining ones with Witches in the wider area, but few Magical Girls dare to venture near their territory. The group's founder was saved by Mami.

Ambiguous Situation:
- Just what they are doing is uncertain, with the setting of the story having diverted or averted at least two of their major antagonists in the form of 'Yuuri' and Kanna Hijiri, greatly diverting their canon story .
- Are they sticking any intruding Magical Girls in their canonical freezer or are they just killing them for intruding?
The Dreaded: No Magical Girl who has ventured into Asunaro has returned, leading to even desperate Magical Girls giving them as wider of a berth as possible.
Famed In-Story: While not directly named or acknowledged, Homura does reference the fact Umika is a famous writer in-universe, whose books are owned by Madoka, Mami, and Sayaka. She gives versions of these books owned by past incarnations of them to Hitomi.
The Ghost: They've been referenced in regards to their staunch protection of Asunaro from any intrusion, but they've yet to appear in person.
Noodle Incident: Kyoko has had at least some dealings with them involving a bear that 'had it coming' and poking at horns.

Suzune Amano

Also known as The Ripper, Suzune is a Magical Girl serial killer who has crossed the path of Homura at least a few times in the time loops. She's still active in the current timeline.

The Ghost: Mentioned a few times and confirmed to be active, but as of yet unseen.
Serial Killer: Like The Griefer, The Ripper is a Magical Girl killer. Although if her origins are still the same in this timeline, which Matsuri hints to be the case, Suzune is far more sympathetic than Akasuki ever was.
Villain of Another Story: Of Arisa and Matsuri’s, who in turn set Arisa down the path to join the Wings of the Magius.

Matsuri Hinata

The last Magical Girl from Hohzuki City, who has come to Kamihama in search of her old teammate Arisa. Among her magic is sensory abilities, letting her detect magic from farther away than most Magical Girls. Her wish was used to cure her blindness.

I Will Find You: Is determined to locate and make amends with Arisa.
Nice Girl: A fact that Meiyui quickly gloms onto.
Rousseau Was Right: Thanks to the events of her series, she knows the Awful Truth about Magical Girls and Witches. However, she believes that's no excuse to become a monster in response and that people should aspire to do good, even if it's only possible on a personal level alongside your family and friends.
Power Fist: Her weapon as a magical girl are metal gauntlets that she wears.

Mio Duan

A Magical Girl from the city of Nagiwan and one of Meiyui's fellow members of the Blue Seas Family. She relocates to Kamihama and brings tales of the drought's affects on her city.

Original Character: One of story's wholly-original Magical Girls.
Team Switzerland: Survived the bloodbath that was Nagiwan's Magical Girl community after the drought by staying neutral and within the confines of the Blue Seas Family. She has some regrets over this as she had some friends in one of the gangs, the Hafu Faction, who were among the many lost.
Weapon-Based Characterization: She uses a Guandao spear, a Chinese spear and is a member of the Hong-Kong originating Blue Seas family.

Kagari

A mysterious Magical Girl who Matsuri suspects has been helping Suzune in her killings.

The Ghost: Has yet to truly appear, only having been mentioned by Matsuri.

Neo-Monzenbashi

A gang of Magical Girls who invade Kamihama City with intent to take hunting grounds during the drought. The core of the team is formed from veteran members of the original Monzenbashi gang from Futatsuchi City who didn't stay after Juri killed their leader, the Bat of Monzenbashi, and absorbed many of their team into their numbers.

Awful Truth: Being from Futatsuchi City, the members from the original Monzenbashi Gnag know the truth about Magical Girls and Witches, and at least some of them believe that the Magical Girls of Kamihama are intentionally luring outsider Magical Girls to their city in order to make them Witch Out and harvest.
Dying Declaration of Hate: One of the core members gives one to the leadership of Kamihama as she expects to die. Though instead she doppels.
Improbable Weapon User: Among more normal weapons like brass knuckles and a chain, members of the gang use weapons like roulettes, dice, and exploding marbles.
No Honor Among Thieves: Two of their number feign being press ganged, opportunistically turning on the group after Motoko's turn starts a cascade. Their true intentions were sussed out by Kanagi and quickly made to leave by Yachiyo.
No Name Given: Only Motoko, who did not want to be part of the group, is given a name.
Regret Eating Me: The one who realizes her Soul Gem is about to completely darken shouts that if she's about to become "prey"/Witch, she hopes that Kamihama's "holier than thou hypocrites" choke while eating her. However, since she was within the bounds of Kamihama, she instead unleashes her Doppel.
Revenge Before Reason: One of their members ends up joining the Wings of the Magius, and according to Touka, her attempt to get revenge on Iroha ended up spoiling Alexandra's attempt to protect the Uwasa of the Misery Rhyton.
Small Role, Big Impact: While larger than the usual group that tries, at the end of the day they're just another example of a belligerent Magical Girl gang trying to encroach on Kamihama territory but one of their leaders succumbing to her rage and despair before turning into a Doppel rather than Witching Out reveals multiple oddities to the proto-Kamihama Magical Union's higher ups and forcing some other uncomfortable truths to be revealed.
The Social Darwinist: One of the gang's leaders sees the entire system of Magical Girls and Witches as that of "predators and prey" and the strong eating the weak, though in this case the predators will eventually have to become the prey.
Weapon-Based Characterization: Many of their members use weapons that are linked to gangs in some way, such as directly in violence like chains, nail-studded bats, and brass knuckles, or indirectly such as gambling items like dice and roulettes.

Motoko Beyaku

A Magical Girl from a small town who was press-ganged into working for the Neo-Monzenbashi by holding her six younger siblings hostage.

Bag of Holding: Her magical girl weapon is a apron that can produce anything that can be found in a kitchen, which she can then use in combat.
Forced into Evil: Was made to help the Neo-Monzenbashi because they had her younger siblings captive. Once the siblings are rescued, she immediately switches sides.
Me's a Crowd: Can duplicated herself so she can be everywhere at once.
Mundane Utility: On top of creating combat-capable items like knives and mashers, her apron can also pull out day to day items like food which her family can subsist on if need be.
Original Character: One of story's wholly-original Magical Girls.
Promoted to Parent: Had to step up and take on parental responsibilities after her mother died, and her wish was to be able to pull this off.
Rolling Pin of Doom: One of many kitchen tools she can summon at will, and which she uses to knock out a Neo-Monzenbashi member after she's sure of her sibling's safety.
Swear Jar: One of the items she can create, though unlike a regular swear jar it can magically insert a coin into itself every time someone swears within a fairly large area into it. Even Motoko isn't quite sure where the money comes from, but setting a ton of the things around is the best way to keep her family fed and housed.
Weapon-Based Characterization: A maternal character who was promoted to parent uses an apron, a motherly object, as her weapon of choice.

Mizuki

One of the refugees who have ended up Kamihama, working with the locals to keep the peace. Mizuki differs from the majority of Magical Girls who have come however, in that Mizuki is a Magical Boy. When not being stared at as an oddity, he appears to be one of Emiri's minions like Akira is.

Noodle Incident: The whys and hows of a guy contracting are not explained, and he didn't answer a question when one of Motoko's siblings asked.
Original Character: One of story's wholly-original Magical Girls, or Magical Boys in his case.
Token Guy: The only Magical Boy known in the story.

Other Characters

Ui Tamaki

Iroha's little sister and the Soulmate of Touka and Nemu. By unknown means Ui vanished from everyone's memories, with her sister's restored memories of her driving her to find her.

Foregone Conclusion: Thanks to Mel, Iroha knows she'll find Ui alive. The problem is that she also knows that to find her is to also find a great threat to Kamihama.
MacGuffin Super-Person: While Iroha isn't sure if she's a Magical Girl or not, only having Yachiyo's suspicions on the matter, her absence is having a negative effect on Touka and Nemu's health and souls.
Present Absence: Only Iroha remembers her, but echoes of her existence hang around her Soulmates everywhere, including nightmares of her screaming.

The Ferroros

Mami's maternal family from Italy, she's not been able to see them since becoming both an orphan and a Magical Girl. The changes to her life since meeting her Soulmates has opened the door once more. Members include Mami's 'Nonna' Armina Ferroro, cousin Alessia Ferroro, her Soulmate Carlotta Volpe, and Uncle Umberto.

Ambiguous Situation: Nonna Ferroro's father is said to her to have eyes 'like Homura's', though what this exactly meant wasn't elaborated on.
Cool Old Lady: Nonna Ferroro is sweet and fun loving, amused by seemingly everything.
The Ghost: The mentioned but unseen Uncle Umberto.
Strong Family Resemblance: The Ferroro blood runs strong in the girls in the family. Armina, Mami, and Alessia have very similar appearances, with Nonna just being a older and fatter version of her granddaughters. Alessia meanwhile looks a lot like Mami except having caramel colored hair, freckles, different eyes, and a sharper nose.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Alessia and Mami often banter about their hair styles and about seniority (Mami's older but Alessia met Carlotta before Mami met Homura and Madoka so 'clearly' Mami was copying her), but they do in fact get along quite well, and Alessia, per Mami, would immediately stop making fun of her ringlets if she was ever told they were worn in memory of her mother/Alessia's aunt.

The Sakuras (Spoiler)

Kyoko's family, a preacher, his Soulmate wife, and their two daughters who lived in poverty after the patriarch's goals of church reform were soundly rejected. Kyoko wished to have people listen to her father's words which gave them a year of happiness before it all came crashing down.

Adaptational Heroism: Pastor Sakura never meant to get any of his daughters killed, setting the church fire to only cause his and wife's deaths to free the enthralled church goers.
Adaptational Villainy: In canon Mrs. Sakura has pretty much no characterization or appearances beyond some cut-outs and exists only to die like her youngest daughter. She's not evil in the story, but she did choose to go along with her husband's plan to burn the church down, and while she did not intend to cause anyone any harm she is still more responsible for Kyoko's traumas than she usually is depicted as. She was also part of the breakdown period after Kyoko revealed the nature of her wish, meaning she, like her husband, did yell at and strike Kyoko, something she's not ever hinted of doing in canon.
Dead Man Writing: Both Sakura parents hide letters in the church baptismal fount to be found after their deaths that explain to their daughters what actually happened and why, and leaving an apology to Kyoko in particular.
Dies Differently in Adaptation: The Sakura family in canon were killed by their insane patriarch before he hung himself and set their home on fire. In Soulmate the Sakura parents set the church on fire to kill themselves to free the thousands of people enthralled by Sakura's wish, with Momo dying after them from running into the burning building and dying from being trapped in the flames.
Fatal Flaw: Pastor Sakura admits to pride being it for him in his letter to Kyoko, admitting to her that his suredness that his Soulmarks meant he was special led to his family's suffering and Kyoko in turn believing she had to make a deal with Kyubey to put things right.
Good Shepherd: Pastor Sakura was a good man who wanted to do good and live morally.
Parents as People: Both the Sakuras wanted to do good in the world and raise their daughters right, but their sincere beliefs caused their family no ends of suffering and their daughters paid the price. they admit as much in their letter to Kyoko, noting that while she should never have made that wish, she should never have been in a place to think it was necessary and it was their fault she ever was in a place to in the first place.
Shipper on Deck: Kyoko's parents apparently realized that she had a crush on Mami and approved of it, even to a point Pastor Sakura adjusted his sermons to not talk about bible quote about large families to avert pressuring Kyoko on something that two girls can't easily do.

Dr. Satomi

Touka's father, a well-respected medical doctor who is skilled at treating rare ailments in children.

Good Parents: Touka is very proud of how her father raised her, although he hasn't had as much of an opportunity to do so lately due to her being a Magical Girl without his knowledge.
Unnamed Parent: Never got a given name revealed even in canon, as everyone refers to him by his surname and title.

Witches

Mary Jane

The Comicbook Witch. Mary Jane is a massive hulking beast made out of Kirby Krackle.

Accidental Misnaming: While Mary Jane certainly doesn't care, Mami tends to think of her of as the Superhero Witch instead of the Comicbook Witch.
All There in the Manual: Is not one of the Witches that Homura knows the name of, and is thus named in the author notes. It also confirms her name where Mami otherwise calls her a Superhero Witch.
Combat Tentacles: Forms these to attack out of her krackle-body, taking on a variety of forms.
Hero Killer: A Sayaka and Kyoko killer: a classification of Witch that Homura keeps for a Witch whose killed her friends multiple times.
Man of Kryptonite: Her krackle-body makes her impervious to physical attacks, and thus very hard for the sword and spear-using Sayaka and Kyoko to fight.
Shout-Out: Her Labyrinth is based on western comicbooks and her form takes on attributes from three of the most iconic villains from Spider-Man: Venom, Doctor Octopus, and Green Goblin. She's even named after Peter's main Love Interest.

Charlotte

The Dessert Witch. The Witch form of Nagisa who takes on the form of a massive worm hidden inside a cute doll.

Adorable Abomination: Her doll form might be a Witch and thus the representation of Nagisa's suffering and pain and very dangerous, but Mami thinks it would make a very cute plushie for her younger charges.
Hero Killer: A Mami killer across multiple timelines.
Killer Rabbit: When Mami sees Charlotte in Homura's memories, she can't help but notice how cute the Witch looks and that Nagisa and Yuma would likely enjoy a doll in her likeness. She's also a Witch with nasty surprises hidden inside her, as Mami unknowingly learned across many timelines at the cost of her life and Homura herself learned in their first fight at the cost of an arm.
Present Absence: With Nagisa alive and well, there is no Charlotte present in the current timeline. However the memory of her is a frequent topic of Homura's thoughts.
Recurring Boss: If a Witch comes up in Homura's thoughts about past battles that isn't one of her Soulmates or Walpurgisnacht, it tends to be Charlotte, and she has several of her Grief Seeds to prove it.

Candeloro (Spoiler)

The Dress-up Witch. The Witch form of Mami who usually takes on the form of a small monster themed after a teabag. However this time she's taking on a very different form.

Hates Being Alone: She in particular embodies Mami's pain born of loneliness, and being alone in general aggravates her.
Ironic Hell: There's a party going on her barrier where some of her familiars are always at, but she herself cannot go to it. Per Candeloro, this sort of state is common with Witches.
Mood-Swinger: The first time Madoka meets her, Candeloro is flipping between being friendly to Madoka, being bitter for her "role" in being the Witches' "prison warden", and being a Yandere for Madoka herself and her Witch Kriemhild Gretchen. Homulilly states that Candeloro was simply overwhelmed at the time by the new sensations of sentience and clarity outside of being a maddened being of despair plus the knowledge of Homura's time loops, and sure enough the next time Madoka talks with her Candeloro has calmed down.
Recurring Boss: In previous timelines, Mami would turn into Candeloro enough that Homura has several of her Grief Seeds still in her possession, a count that Homura becomes particularly eager to get rid of as her connection to Mami becomes more intimate.
Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Especially when Madoka first meets her, Candeloro is pretty irritable towards her, but she's also the embodiment of Mami's loneliness and is fearful of the potential of dying after remembering her various deaths in past timelines and realizing just how many times she has died during the time loops.

Homulilly (Spoiler)

The Mortal World Witch. The Witch form of Homura who has never appeared in physical form before. However that doesn't mean she doesn't exist.

Adorable Abomination: While Mami doesn't know what Homulilly is, at best wondering if she's some sort of Id, she does think she's very huggable.
Authority in Name Only: Despite her mental world being based on her labyrinth, she really doesn't have control, with her familiars spending most of their time binding her to walls and breaking her things. Contact with Madoka seems to have started a process of reversing this.
Crystalline Creature: Takes the form of Homura's younger self but made entirely of purple crystal. This represents her "chrysalis" stage as Homulilly has yet to be properly born, hence why she doesn't appear as some variant of her Portable or Rebellion appearance and is more based off her doppel.
Cute and Psycho: While normally pretty sweet and looking like Homura's more innocent self, she still has declared a desire to destroy everything, especially the Incubators.
I Just Want to Be Loved: Just like Homura, Homulilly just wants to be loved. In particular she is mostly created from a Homura who feels like she can never be loved.

Oktavia von Seckendorff (Spoiler)

The Mermaid Witch. The Witch form of Sayaka who Homura had encountered many, many times. Despite a Sayaka who seems to be set to stay herself however, Homura may not be as free of her as she might hope...

The Ghost: Mentioned by Candeloro and thought of by Homura often enough, and she appears on Homulilly's teapot, but Oktavia doesn't physically appear until the tail end of Chapter 18. With Sayaka only contracting in Chapter 13, she likely didn't really exist until that point in the current timeline.
Recurring Boss: Homura has had to fight her many times and has the Grief Seeds to prove it. Depending on how literal Homura was, the count could be anything from fifty times to two-hundred.

Ophelia (Spoiler)

The Wudan Witch. The Witch form of Kyoko. While she comes up less often in Homura's thoughts than the others, she is still a potential problem that Homura would rather avoid. Though she may not be able to avoid her this time even if Kyoko never falls to despair...

The Ghost: Mentioned by Candeloro and thought of by Homura occassionally, and she appears on Homulilly's teapot, but Ophelia has yet to physically appear. Unlike Oktavia however, she certainly existed in some form in this timeline before Kyoko ascended into the Soulbond.

Cancri

The Depth-sounding Witch. A giant enemy crab made of music instruments. Her familiars take on the forms of various ocean-life mixed with musical instruments, like sea gulls with wind instruments for beaks. Before coming to Mitakihara, it battled Takako and her friend and was the case of Takako's friends Witchout, and the death of said Witch in turn.

All There in the Manual: Is not one of the Witches that Homura knows the name of, and is thus named in the author notes.
Giant Enemy Crab: Outright described as such, though she lacks a weakpoint For Massive Damage.
Healing Factor: While most Witches can heal, Cancri can heal faster than most.
Hell Is That Noise: Sayaka's reaction to her noises is to describe them as wrong, unholy fusions of music and ocean sounds that is not meant to be made by anything real.
Musical Assassin: Her main method of attack is unleashing horrific blasts of sonic force and music from her various instruments.
Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Implied to be the case in-universe, as Homura doesn't recognize Cancri at all despite her hundreds of fights, while Takako specifically mentions her in her story about how she discovered the truth about Witches, suggesting that Cancri is usually one of Takako's enemies in previous timelines who moved to bother the Mitakihara five in the current timeline.
Small Role, Big Impact: Cancri is a Witch that ends up being defeated in the same chapter that she first appears in, but without her Labyrinth forming around Madoka and Sayaka while they were at the hospital, multiple events would not have happened:
- The fact that Sayaka was holding on to Madoka's hand when Homura froze time in order to have herself and Mami arrive before Madoka could be harmed, which made her unaffected by the time stop, is what causes Sayaka to find out about magic.
- Kyubey showing Nagisa Homura and Mami's battle with the Witch and introducing her to them, allows Nagisa to become Mami's student instead of Akasuki's victim, which both makes Akasuki have to find a new target and leaves Nagisa able to identify her when she does.
Super-Toughness: One of very few Witches who can shake off a Tiro Finale. A Tiro Forza Finale on the other hand...
Villainous Legacy: Her familiars have long outlived her, with at least three of the seagulls showing up to torment Mitakihara since her defeat.

Gisela

The Silver Witch. A massive creature of smog and steel that battled Mami twice in the past before she met Kyoko. Even years later, Gisela left a mark on Mami.

Mook Maker: What caught Mami off-guard about Gisela wasn't just her being a much tougher Witch than what she fought before, but the fact that the rust she kept sloughing off created more and more Familiars that overwhelmed her on top of it.
No Name Given: In-universe, no one but Kyubey knows her name as Mami certainly never thought to ask about it and Homura would never have encountered her.
Posthumous Character: Mami killed her about two years before the events of the story.
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: When Mami encountered Gisela again, she had gone through intense training to master the creation of her muskets and adapted her Mage Marksman combat style, while Gisela had more or less remained the same aside from possibly a raw power increase from surviving and feasting on victims. Mami blew her away with ease.
Wake-Up Call Boss: Mami had been soaring pretty high in the months since she contracted, until she met her. The resulting fight was the first that Mami ever lost, leading to her first great shame as a Magical Girl in the death of Kou, and forced Mami to become better and adapt to her current Mage Marksman combat style.
Would Hurt a Child: Kou, a little boy, was swallowed up and killed by Gisela as Mami could only watch.

Patricia

The Class Representative Witch. A massive humanoid creature with multiple limbs but no head. Patricia was the first Witch Homura ever defeated, and they have crossed paths since.

No Name Given: Homura, due to not knowing her name, only calls her by her description.
Panty Shot: Madoka unfortunately is able to look up her skirt.
Starter Villain: Homura outright states that she (and Madoka) were specifically allowed by Mami to take point on her the first time she was encountered was because she was easy. While Patricia was a challenge for Homura back then, now she's basically nothing to Homura. The only reason that Patricia wasn't left to Yuma and Nagisa to fight as their first Witch is because she popped up near an elementary school and thus needed to be taken out immediately.
Villain Forgot to Level Grind: As a starter villain, she was once something that terrified Homura. Now Homura all but relaxes when she sees Patricia instead of another Witch, though she still makes sure to kill her immediately if innocents are near.
Was Once a Man: Like all Witches, though Homura has deduced her name to be Noriko Chiasa from Mitakihara North High School.

Svena

The Swan Witch. The Witch form of Mayumi Uozumi, a massive monstrous swan who lives in a Labyrinth filled with and made from high calorie foods, various eating utensils, and Familiars that constantly babble mocking insults.

All There in the Manual: As neither Akasuki or Hitomi ever think about it, Svena's name is entirely relegated to the author notes.
Fat Bastard: A corpulent antagonistic monster who would endanger all life around her if not stopped.
Ironic Hell: The Witch of a girl who wished to be beautiful in the form of a swan, a fat swan in a endless maze of fatty foods filled with mocking insults.
Mook Maker: Her tail contains Familiars that resemble fish with human faces that, if they are freed, can attack enemies, or Svena herself.
Shout-Out: Her labyrinth, on top of having a food theme, is also based on the story of The Ugly Duckling, though the swan at the center of the story is far from beautiful.
Starter Villain: The first Witch Hitomi fights.
Was Once a Man: The first Witch in-story whom we meet the human version of first.

Bella Donna (Spoiler)

The Doppel of Disclosure. Rika Ayano’s Witch, who has not been truly born but was brought out through contact with her Soulmate. She has made peace with the Magical Girl she comes from, and now they can fuse when necessary.

Berserk Button:
- Lies and deception. She takes special offense to the Seance Shrine Uwasa because it entraps people with false visions of their loved ones.
- Emiri is also a walking Berserk Button to Bella Donna, who outright refuses to come out until after Emiri leaves. This is because it was Emiri’s advice that led to Rika’s ill-thought-out wish that created Bella Donna.
Emergency Transformation: First manifests in the physical worlds when Rika and company are losing to the Uwasa of the Seance Shrine.
Man of Kryptonite: Her curses and truth magic are a perfect counter to the Seance Shrine, which is based on wishes and deception.
Truth Serums: Creates syringes full of truth serum.
Underestimating Badassery: She believes that the Super Mode boost she provides Rika makes them more than a match for Hinano in a fight and isn't shy of saying it to her face during their practical examination. An unimpressed Hinano has to spell it out for her that neither Bella Donna nor Rika have ever seen her go all-out with her magic and that Bella Donna can say that again after surviving being hit with pure uranium.

Gabriella

Gabriella, the Mail Carrier Witch. A Witch long dead who appeared in the Sakura family Church, but whose actions caused great sorrow to befall Kyoko.

No Name Given: Kyoko only knows the Witch by appearance, not by name.
Posthumous Character: Kyoko killed her about a year before the events of the story.
Start of Darkness: Word of God implies she probably overworked herself to a point of corrupting her Soul Gem.

Kirsten

The Box Witch. A Witch who takes the form of a flying television with wings, Kirsten is one of the Witches who Homura has learned the origin and name of, but is too late to do anything about.

Famed In-Story: Her time as an idol made her well known enough that Madoka knew of her, though her status as Magical Girl was only learned later.
The Ghost: She's only discussed by Homura, her actual self isn't seen though by all accounts she's currently active.
No Name Given: Homura doesn't know her Witch name, though she does know her original one.
Start of Darkness: According to Homura, having wished to be an idol created conflict between her wish and her original self as a recluse, and the stress eventually got to her.
Was Once a Man: Like all Witches. Homura discovered her name to have Hiroko Nako been during the time loops.

Polaris

The Ghost Ship Witch. A squid-humanoid who sails the waves on a derelict ship, in order to reach her one must fight both the ocean and its denizens. One of the Witches Homura has encountered, but rarely.

All There in the Manual: Her name is not said by any character and is confirmed at the end of the chapter.
Cthulhumanoid: She takes on the form of a squid-human hybrid form as a Witch.
Interface Screw: Her most dangerous ability, and one that Homura was unaware of before her fight with Sayaka, is the ability to scramble someone's motor functions. Word of God implies she has a similar power as a Magical Girl.
Slippy-Slidey Ice World: Her Witch chamber is coated in ice, though Sayaka has Mami cover it in ribbons to negate the trope before it can adversely affect her.
Starter Villain: The first Witch Sayaka fights as a Magical Girl.
Start of Darkness: Word of God points to her father's ship sinking with her on it as the point she became a Witch.

Walpurgisnacht

The Stage-constructing Witch. A massive Witch known as a living disaster that comes to Mitakihara at the end of Homura's timeloops. Though in the current timeline it may have different origins....

Alternate Self: While there is always a Walpurgisnacht at the end of a time loop, this one seems to be different than the past ones that Homura has dealt with given its ties to Soulbonds that did not exist originally.
The Dreaded: Very few Magical Girls don't fear and dread encountering Walpurgisnacht, and many of those that don't have never heard of it. It's been called a living apocalypse.
Mami: Madoka….Walpurgisnacht is a legend, a nightmare, told among Magical Girls for centuries. The most powerful Witches are called Walpurgisnacht. They say they are created when multiple Witches merge together, though no one knows for sure. Witches are not well understood, and I’ve never tried studying them. That would endanger people’s lives. But wherever a Walpurgisnacht does appear, massive amounts of death always follows.
Evil Counterpart: In this timeline, a Walpurgisnacht is the result of a Soulbond of Magical Girls becoming Witches, making it one to any Soulbonded group of Magical Girls.
Greater-Scope Villain: With Kyubey as the overarching and broad looming threat, Walpurgisnacht is more of a looming natural disaster that is coming and cannot be avoided. Only prepared for.
Hero Killer: It has killed many, many versions of Madoka, Mami, Sayaka, and Kyoko, as well as the odd other Magical Girl like Komaki and Hitomi.
Legacy Character: There have been a few Witches with the title of Walpurgisnacht over the years, each a living disaster like the previous.
Not So Invincible After All: For all of Walpurgisnacht's nigh-apocalyptic power, Homura has managed to beat her at least twice throughout the timeloops with the help of other Magical Girls. Unfortunately, Homura has usually been the Sole Survivor of such a showdown with maybe one other Magical Girl with her, and never in such a manner she could call it a Pyrrhic Victory worth having. Homura's current plan in this final timeline is to either train up the Mitakihara gang for an Everybody Lives ending or pray Walpurgisnacht goes to Kamihama so the Wings of the Magius can kill her through raw power or sheer number of bodies to throw at her.
Romantic Fusion: A very dark example. A Walpurgisnacht is the result of the Witches of Soulbonded Magical Girls merging into a single cataclysmic entity. Given the fact said Magical Girls would be in romantic relationships, and how Candeloro expresses more than once the desire to join with Homulilly and Gretchen until they're no longer separated and they can't even tell where one ends and the others begin, it's clear the mutual love is still there, albeit heavily twisted in madness and despair.

Mitakihara Antagonists

Kyubey

Mami's only companion for a large bulk of her three years as a Magical Girl. However unbeknownst to her, he's far from benevolent.

Aliens Are Bastards: He's an extraterrestrial and he's quite terrible, even if only certain Magical Girls realize this before its too late.
Break Them by Talking: A practice Kyubey has a lot of experience with, to the point he can calculate down to the second how long it will take to induce the necessary despair in a Magical Girl to make them Witch Out. He performs a particularly insidious version on Kyoko where he attempts to break her not with the Awful Truth about Witches, but an Awful Truth of what really happened when her family died: Momo Sakura wasn't killed in a mad suicide by her parents burning down the church, but as the unfortunate and preventable tragedy of a little girl desperately rushing into a burning church to save her parents, only to succumb inside. Something that could, should have been prevented if Kyoko herself had been where she needed to be.
Kyubey: You are the reason Momo Sakura died. Your choice left her to burn alive.
Deadly Euphemism: Kyubey refers to the transformation into a Witch as various forms of "maturation", which isn't an inaccurate word. It also works wonders when talking to those who are in the dark about the Awful Truth, as they don't connect that him talking about helping Magical Girls mature into the "beings they're meant to be" is not a good thing for the girls in question.
Even Evil Has Standards: Though he has to grant any wish a Magical Girl asks for as long as they have the potential to fulfill it, and he has no problem granting even mundane wishes despite refusing to be upfront with the full details of the contract without being asked, Kyubey is vocally disapproving of wishes that are made with the intent of causing disasters, like say a Zombie Apocalypse.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: Kyubey is often thrown off in his plans and assumptions by Soulbonds and how their incredibly close, romantic relationships throw off his calculations. He outright admits that Mami's reactions to his inquiries were unexpected due to how the Soulbond affected her relationship with Homura versus what was a 'logical' outcome of his questions. This is in spite of thousands of years of trying to understand Soulbonds, yet their true nature and effects on people remaining fully outside his grasp.
Evil Former Friend: His days as 'Cube' are far behind him, with Elisa now actively working against him in Europe.
False Reassurance: During Mami's confrontation with him after Hitomi's kidnapping, one of the statements he uses to butter Mami up is her saving of Michiru Kazusa and in turn her inspiring of other girls, telling her that 'when anyone speaks about Asurano City and its Magical Girls, that is all because of you saving a single girl’s life'. Given that the Pleiades Saints are considered The Dreaded, this is far less of a compliment as it seems at first glance and is more like Kyubey just planting seeds of distress to use later.
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Kyubey's true appearance isn't the weasel/fairy form that the cast know him as, simply the one he's found works best at convincing Earthlings he doesn't mean them any harm and makes them willing to listen long enough to his wish pitch. He takes on a different form on each planet, and he can alter a body as necessary to complete certain objectives, though per his obsession with conserving resources he only does the bare minimum changes.
Greater-Scope Villain: It doesn't matter what Madoka and company have to deal with, be it Magical Girl or Witch, Kyubey is ultimately responsible for their existence. In some cases, like with Akasuki, he's directly involved in their actions from behind the scenes.
Hive Mind: The entity known as "Kyubey" isn't limited to one body, or even effectively unlimited copies of the same body. He's also not above abusing this such as during his Break Them by Talking moment with Kyoko in the ruins of her family church for psychological reasons, where he just keeps casually showing up for every body she kills and having other bodies eat the ruined remnants to conserve resources, occasionally right in front of her eyes.
Lack of Empathy: Kyubey's main concern is only with what he deems will give him the best results and to go about getting them for the sake of prolonging the universe's lifespan. He doesn't understand why humans and other forms of sapient life get so bent out of shape about the things he does to reach those results (Lying by Omission or straight-up manipulation) or even what those results entail (turning his Magical Girl contracts into Witches).
Literal Genie: Kyubey only requires two things to make a contract: The actual statement containing "I wish" and the genuine intent behind it. Even his personal thoughts about said wish are irrelevant once these two things are fulfilled. Hitomi makes the mistake of wording her refusal to contract without him giving all the details this way while meaning it, and Kyubey though noting the oddity of such a wish finds it fulfills the criteria and grants it.
Hitomi: Kyubey, I don’t know what this ‘contract’ of yours is about. Without knowing that, the only thing I can wish for is that you’d go away and leave me alone unless you can provide me with more details.
Kyubey: Odd, it is in fact your heart’s greatest desire for me to vanish. Very well. Your wish is granted.
Long Game: As Kyubey is a Time Abyss who has been around long before mankind's beginning, he's fully willing to devote as much time as he needs to achieve his goals. Soulbonds have confounded the Incubators ever since encountering them? Well, that just means they need to keep trying to figure them out, as after all, they've never failed to comprehend something before as long as they kept at it, so why should this be the exception? It's also why once he has his eyes on a potential contract he won't give up, no matter how long he has to wait for that perfect moment to step in and make his offer. Akasuki outright tells Madoka while trying to convince her to just come out and let her kill her that now that Kyubey has her in his sights, he'll never stop hounding her until she's dead, and the same goes for her Soulmates.
Metaphorically True: He's quite the fan of it when he trying to keep certain Awful Truths under wraps.
Mami: Did you just...compare Kyoko to a serial killer?
Kyubey: She certainly has cost the lives of many innocent people while she was estranged from you.
Mami: Then aren't there a lot of Magical Girls serial killers? I’m sadly aware that many would operate more like Kyoko used to than how I handle things.
Kyubey: From a certain point of view, any Magical Girl could be called that after enough battles with Witches.
Opportunistic Bastard:
- While Kyubey is usually a Manipulative Bastard or Chessmaster when it comes to driving Magical Girls into despair, he tends to have to act like this whenever he's putting in the effort to corrupt a Soulbond of them. He doesn't so much set things up (because Soulbonds tend to act outside of his projected outcomes) as wait for one member to reach a vulnerable position through her own circumstances and then act to provide that final push.
- His entire involvement in the Mitakihara gang's fight with Akasuki has him act the part. His initial starting contribution is being swayed by Akasuki's arguments to contract Hitomi despite usually being uninterested in contracting someone with generally low potential, but when the resulting manipulation and kidnapping blows up much bigger than Akasuki thought, Kyubey is right there ready to take advantage of a situation where Madoka (and to a lesser extent Sayaka) will contract, either to save Hitomi or save Madoka herself once Akasuki decides to cut the weak link keeping Mami and Homura alive to save her own skin. When Sayaka steps up to contract and heal Madoka's bad wound when no one else can reach them to stop Akasuki in time, Kyubey accepts since he doesn't want Madoka to die yet either. When Sayaka instead awakens to the Soulbond and Akasuki is ultimately killed, Kyubey simply reflects on the loss of the latter and the new difficulty of turning the former into a Witch, but notices that Kyoko has also awakened to their Soulbond and is in an emotionally-vulnerable state that could easily be pushed into Witching Out, something which only fails thanks to Mami's intervention.
Politically Correct Villain: Kyubey has absolutely no problem contracting with trans girls, the non-binary, and other gender identities beyond those who are born and identify as female. Being Kyubey though, this isn't for moral reasons, but because it means there are more potential contractees, more potential Witches, and otherwise make humans even more valuable to the Incubators than they already are.
Pragmatic Villainy:
- Kyubey as a rule ignores Soulbonded girls for a contract and doesn't bother manipulating already Soulbonded Magical Girls into becoming Witches despite the energy released by their resulting Witches and Walpurgisnachts being much higher than regular Magical Girls. This isn't out of any moral objections, but simply because it takes significantly more effort to corrupt a Soulbond Magical Girl(s) than would be practical since their bonds passively purify Soul Gem corruption. He only makes exceptions if the Magical Girl in question has incredibly high potential and/or the Magical Girl is in a particularly vulnerable mental spot on their own that would let him push them into despair without too much effort.
- Kyubey rejects Suzumebachi's offer to just go and contract and 'mature' enough girls in Japan to make up for Madoka's potential being hard to reach not because this wouldn't provide the energy, but the sheer amount would cause a potentially irreversible demographic crisis in Japan and would render the nation basically useless to Kyubey for generations at best and forever at worst.
Sarcasm-Blind: Kyubey is not good at picking up sarcasm.
Time Abyss: While Kyubey will correct Sayaka when she says he's older than dirt, Kyubey's hivemind has been around for a long, long time.
Villains Never Lie: Kyubey never says anything untrue when trying to manipulate Sayaka to help him figure out Homura's anomalous nature and to get Madoka to contract, it is just that when he says 'help Madoka save the universe', Sayaka assumes he means as a heroine like Sailor Moon and not by turning her best friend into a Witch with unfathomable energy levels for harvesting. Homura is willing to take his word that Hitomi is still alive, and when Sayaka later accuses Kyubey of only caring about making contracts and everything else he says and does being to butter girls up into doing it while she and a badly wounded Madoka are hiding from Akasuki and he's offering services to heal Madoka via contract, Kyubey plainly admits she's 'broadly correct' but that still doesn't change the situation they're in.
You Didn't Ask: A lot of things that Magical Girls might want to know are perfectly known to him, but he never says them. While things like using magic to cure your lactose intolerance or the names of Witches are harmless trivia, there is plenty of far more harmful things he doesn't mention unless asked.

Akasuki Suzumebachi

A Magical Girl serial killer who collaborates with Kyubey, whose main modus operandi is finding and tricking twelve young girls into contracting before controlling them and forcing them to Witch Out before harvesting their Grief Seeds and moving on to a different city afterwards to repeat the process. She's been tricking others to contract and killing them for Grief Seeds for so long, even non Magical Girls are aware of her.

Animal Motifs: Wasps and hornets. Suzumebachi is the Japanese word for a wasp or hornet, her weapon is a ring that resembles a hornet's stinger, and like parasitoid wasps, she stings her enemies without mercy and takes over their bodies for her own benefit.
Arc Villain: The main antagonist of Part 1 of the story.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: As shown with her interactions with Nagisa and Hitomi, Akasuki can easily pass herself off as a sarcastic and deadpan, but ultimately good-natured and helpful girl willing to give advice to them in a vulnerable time even before she turns on the mentoring role. It's all a mask for the selfish murderer she is underneath that's just waiting for the moment to betray their trust in the cruelest way possible.
Corrupted Character Copy: While she is an evil counterpart to the veteran trio of the Holy Quintet, she is outright designed to be an corrupt version of Mami, being everything Mami is (a veteran magical girl who takes younger girls under her wing, an improbable weapon user, and close to Kyubey), and makes the result an evil character who deliberately helps Kyubey turn girls into Magical Girls and then Witches for their own gain. Fittingly, Mami is the one who kills her.
Deadly Euphemism:
- She refers to herself as a "practitioner of agriculture" over other Magical Girls being "hunter-gathers", with her victims being her "crop".
- When expressing annoyance and anger at the problems with getting into the Shizuki bank accounts with Hitomi's controlled "help", she briefly toys with the idea of abducting the parents too...or at least just one and making Hitomi do it.
  "I'd hate to teleport the wrong one away."
Evil Counterpart: Suzumebachi is this to the veteran Magical Girls of the Holy Quintet.
- Both she and Mami are veteran magical girls whose inspiration and mentoring of rookie Magical Girls is useful for Kyubey. However Mami doesn't mean any harm and genuinely wants to help them and address her loneliness at the same time and has no idea about Witches. Suzumebachi knows everything and deliberately manipulates young, impressionable girls to contract with poor wishes and makes them Witch out to kill their Witches and take their Grief Seeds to prolong her life.
- Both she and Kyoko let others die to keep going, with Kyoko's farming of familiars and Suzumebachi's farming of her fellow Magical Girls. However Kyoko only lets people die, she doesn't deliberately set people to be killed by familiars, and Kyoko is so shaken by the comparison she draws between the two of them that she stops letting familiars run free to mature into Witches to be nothing like her.
- Both Suzumebachi and Homura are older than they appeared, aren't particularly strong when it comes to raw magical power, and contracted to save someone, but Suzumebachi has completely lost her ability to care about others and only seeks to keep herself alive.
Expy: Suzumebachi has a very similar powerset to the Oriko character Sasa Yuuki, both being able to control other Magical Girls and Witches and being manipulator characters without raw power of her own. If anything, Suzumebachi is the sort of character that Sasa could become if allowed to run around for decades. As Homura does mention Sasa, and she's later shown as a Black Feather, its a case of Expy Coexistence between the two.
Faux Affably Evil: Her interactions with Hitomi after revealing her true colors show her still acting chummy and calling her 'Tomi, but this is all mixed with her making casual threats against her loved ones or forcing Hitomi to attack them.
Hate Sink: Her amusing snark aside, she's a Serial Killer who puts her own life above everyone else's to the point she'll happily damn innocent and ignorant girls, particularly younger ones, into becoming Magical Girls, act the friendly mentor, and then yank away control of their bodies while subjecting them to mental anguish to force them to become Witches that she then kills and farms for Grief Seeds. And she doesn't do it in a clinical detached way, it's shown she enjoys making them suffer and isn't afraid to abuse them physically or verbally simply to vent out her own frustrations before doing so. Every Magical Girl in the story who talks about her, even the morally-grey ones, view her as scum that the world would be better off without, and even Madoka only puts up the bare minimum effort in the possibility of "just" getting her caught by police and tossed into a jail cell to rot, more bothered by the idea of her Soulmates killing than Akasuki being killed.
Hero Killer: Alongside Kyubey, she is responsible for Mifuyu's death.
Improbable Weapon User: Her Magical Girl weapon is a finger ring, which is how she both uses razor wind attacks and controls her victims.
Killed Mid-Sentence: She is only one word into her second attempt (the first failing because Mami deafened herself to stop hearing what she was saying) to break Mami by revealing the truth about Witches when Mami kills her.
Killed Off for Real: Killed by Mami in Chapter 13 via being wrapped up in ribbons and summarily perforated by a hundred musket shots from every angle.
Les Collaborateurs: She knows exactly what Kyubey is doing and has no issue with helping him achieve his goals at the expense of the rest of Magical Girl kind. She even at one point offered to go out and contract enough girls to replace the raw value of Madoka for Kyubey to make it easier for him.
Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: As a weaker Magical Girl who specializes in tricking younger girls to contract to take control of and harvest for Grief Seeds, Akasuki is terrifying. Around regular humans and inexperienced and weaker Magical Girls she's basically a unstoppable slasher villain. When one of the girls who she was chasing contracts and comes out of it stronger than her, as was the case in Sayaka, she gets throttled. When an experienced Magical Girl who is vastly stronger than her finds her, like Mami, her life expectancy drops to minutes.
Older Than They Look: She looks to be in her mid teens, but she's been killing people for decades. As she admits to Hitomi, she's actually in her thirties.
Original Character: One of story's wholly-original Magical Girls.
Orwellian Retcon:
- Her original title/name was The Collaborator, but after reader feedback it was changed to The Griefer due to the original name sounding more like an Archetype description than an Alias.
- Her last name was originally Suzembachi before changing to Suzumebachi.
The Paralyzer: How her power works when used on Witches, who are too mindless and uncontrollable in their rampant despair to obey her commands and thus forces her to just render them vulnerable to being attacked. At best, she can nudge them in the general direction of another target by letting them loose at the right moment.
People Puppets: If she jabs a target in the neck with her finger ring, Akasuki gains control of their bodily functions and can make them do anything she wants. It's not Mind Control, as her victims are very much aware of what's happening to them. It's more effective the more the victim trusts her before she uses it. Also, she has to strike their neck in order to make it work, and if they don't have a neck (like many Witches can) she's out of luck.
Razor Wind: Is able to slice the air with her finger ring enough to create slices of wind that can damage enemies.
Red Baron: She's known as "The Griefer".
The Resenter: She hates Soulbonded Magical Girls, as all they need are their Soulmates to stay alive and healthy without Grief Seeds while Magical Girls like her have to resort to risking their lives just to have a steady supply of Grief Seeds.
Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Learning that a Walpurgisnacht is coming to Japan is enough to make her want to relocate to China, or at bare minimum to the other side of Japan away from where the Witch will be making landfall.
Serial Killer: Constantly kills other girls to prolong her own life, and has killed so many over the years that she is considered Japan's most prolific serial killer.
Treacherous Advisor: She teaches her victims the ropes of Magical Girl life in order to build a bond of trust, and then strikes in a vulnerable moment to render them her puppets to be harvested. It helps that her lessons actually do have merit behind them, thus leaving her victims more vulnerable to her charm.
The Unfettered: By her own admittance, morals are for people who end up becoming Witches. She'll even cross the line of trying to murder a Soulmate just to gain an advantage on her enemies.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: Akasuki originally made her wish to save a girl she admired from committing suicide. Unfortunately, she learned firsthand that the girl was trying to prevent her own transformation into a Witch, and the double-whammy of the Awful Truth twisted her into a sociopath who is determined to survive no matter and over the bodies of anyone in her way.
Villains Want Mercy: Pulls this with Mami when confronted, which quickly turns into a desperate Break Them by Talking moment as a last-ditch effort. At best this gets her a few more seconds before Mami makes sure she can't hear, and then makes sure Akasuki can't talk at all ever again.
Weapon-Based Characterization: Her Finger Ring shows not only how she operates by wrapping the unsuspecting around her finger, but how she's not that strong herself, using a weapon that's less directly useful in combat than a spear, chakram, or sword.

The Wings of the Magius

In General

An organization of Magical Girls in Kamihama City led by three Magical Girls in particular known as the Magius. The Wings of the Magius seek to save Magical Girls from their fate of becoming Witches, but many would compare the organization to a cult.

Arc Villain: They're the main villains of the second part of the story, taking over as the primary antagonists after The Griefer's death.
Elite Mooks: While theoretically the White Feathers are this compared to the Black Feathers, the actual top mooks are a group that Oriko had formed among them call Enforcers, who are notably stronger and more skilled and tend to do work outside of Kamihama. Members of the group included Kyoko while employed, Ryoko, Sute, Hinema, Arisa, and Kirka, though the latter is more of a personal spy and agent of Oriko's.
Even Evil Has Standards:
- While a Magical Girl cult not above sending dinosaur hit squads after people and unleashing monsters on a massive metropolis, even they loath The Griefer for her crimes and had no problem sending an Enforcer with a limited contract (Kyoko) to kill her.
- Touka and Nemu have no problem with Yuuri curing non-Magius members of their illnesses when she's not required to tend to them for personal reasons and fully respect Yuuri's ideals. Touka herself admits she thinks no one deserves to be sick.
Make an Example of Them: Part of why they were so willing to chase down Kyoko was to make a point about how any such theft or breaking of the rules will not be tolerated. They only get taken off this path by the even greater example of being given the far from cheap prize of five Grief Seeds.
Mooks: Kyoko outright calls the Black Feathers this.
Outside-Context Problem: To Homura and Mami, the idea of a organization of over a hundred Magical Girls working together is utterly unfathomable. Even though such groups aren't unheard of globally, as the Order of the Dragon does exist, the Doppels and Uwasa connected to them are certainly strange enough to keep the Magius firmly in the category of unusual.
Team Member in the Adaptation: Membership of the Magius in the story have greatly expanded from their canonical ranks to include Oriko, Kirika, Yuuri, Arisa, Sasa, Himena, and Alexandra, the latter two in canon joined the Neo-Magius first.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Its a group out to save Magical Girls from becoming Witches, but innocent people are hurt as part of their plans and the group is prone to cult-like methods of seeking this goal out and they are so convinced of their righteousness they are willing to do anything to get it.

Touka Satomi

One of the three Magius. Nemu and Ui's Soulmate and one of the three girls that Iroha is looking for. Touka has a brilliant mind, but her people skills are somewhat lacking.

The Ace: Oriko notes Touka is a Born Winner: Born into money, a mind capable of grasping anything she puts it to in scientific fields, a loving family and has magical potential that is one in fourteen million. Of top of that, Touka's wish gives her such perfect control over her magic that it's practically impossible for her to suffer Soul Gem corruption even discounting her Soulbond, and it's the source of the Doppel System that provides a version of it for all of Kamihama.
Daddy's Girl: She adores her father.
Dreaming the Truth: While she hasn't realized it yet, her shared dreams with Nemu often involve them hearing Ui screaming.
Even Evil Has Standards: While Touka does not tell girls she recruits to contract in the hospital about the origin of Witches or the nature of Soul Gems, she does explain that wishes will automatically cure any physical or medical conditions, letting them avoid wasting a wish on something they'd get automatically.
The Gift: When it comes to raw, natural power, Touka is the strongest Magical Girl in Japan, with Madoka being uncontracted and Yachiyo's power outclassing her by accumulation and not natural strength.
I'm Having Soul Pains: She and Nemu are suffering from a condition called 'Soul Seizures', implied to be a result of Ui's vanishing from memory.
Insufferable Genius: Touka is brilliant and skilled, and she knows it. She has an ego that Oriko describes as enough to make even the most saintly person want to slap her with a blunt object. Finding out that Madoka was so much more powerful than her naturally was a hard pill for her to swallow.
Large Ham: Iroha recalls a memory where Nemu asked Ui to stop overacting while playing Yu-Gi-Oh! because Touka was picking up on the habit and going even further, and Oriko states Touka half the time unintentionally acts like a supervillain...while she spends the other half intentionally doing so.
Lying by Omission: Touka explains a lot of details to sickly girls in her family hospital to let them make the best wishes possible, but she does not explain the nature of Witches or Soul Gems. While she does hint at the former, explaining it as a 'caveat she's working on addressing', she does not mention Soul Gems at all because she doesn't consider it a big deal, and finds that if you do mention it that it immediately shuts down the conversation. So she just doesn't mention it until after the contract.
No Social Skills: As Oriko laments, for all of Touka's brilliance and well-meaning intentions to save all Magical Girls, Touka's combination of Lack of Empathy plus Insufferable Genius attitude means she doesn't really understand brainwashing shouldn't be your go-to first thought to controlling your subordinates, and even when she does try to use what little empathy she has, half of the time she comes off unintentionally as a supervillain to other people, and the other half is her intentionally acting like a supervillain. Unsurprisingly, she doesn't do much in the "public face" for the Wings of Magius and spends her time in the lab.
Psychological Projection: Can fall into this sometimes, such has having trouble understanding why Sasa Yuuki would hide her powers because she couldn't imagine doing so herself, or not getting why others would find the nature of Soul Gems unsettling when she doesn't.
Technician/Performer Team-Up: The Technician to Nemu's Performer in the Magius. Once gave Nemu a bunch of technical advice about how to make a fortress Uwasa, only for Nemu to reply that she needed more story in order to properly pull it off.

Nemu Hiiragi

One of the three Magius. Touka and Ui's Soulmate and one of the three girls that Iroha is looking for. A writing prodigy, Nemu is the source of the Uwasa and the most down-to-earth of the Magius, which helps ground the others.

Beware the Nice Ones: She might be the nicest and most normal of the Magius, but when Sasa was defeated after her attempted coup, Touka had no problem leaving Nemu to decide what her punishment would be.
Deadpan Snarker: She's quite willing to snark at Touka.
Dreaming the Truth: While she hasn't realized it yet, her shared dreams with Touka often involve them hearing Ui screaming.
I'm Having Soul Pains: She and Touka are suffering from a condition called 'Soul Seizures', implied to be a result of Ui's vanishing from memory.
Monster Progenitor: Nemu is the source of the Uwasa, which are formed from her various feelings and emotions. This can have problems if she spawns an Uwasa born from feelings of anger or spite regardless of how long ago the event that caused those emotions were, as they tend to be the more dangerous ones.
Technician/Performer Team-Up: The Performer to Touka's Technician. Her magic depends on stories, so she wasn't very happy when Touka gave her an overload of technical information with no story when they were brainstorming a new Uwasa.
Token Good Teammate: Among the Magius leadership, Oriko describes her as the nicest and most normal.

Alina Gray

One of the three Magius. Alina is an artist who is known all over for her somewhat macabre style,

Nightmare Fetishist: According to Kyoko, she's a little too into Witches.
Token Evil Teammate: Among the Magius, Alina is singled out as this by Oriko. While the Magius leadership is varying levels of morally grey despite their idealistic end goal to save Magical Girls, Alina is considered the one most personably detestable and lacking even Touka's youth and lack of social skills to explain her Lack of Empathy, though Oriko refuses to paint her as outright evil and calls her "complicated". Kyoko considers Alina unsettling and likely crazy.

Oriko Mikuni

A young lady estranged from her rich family, Oriko contracts with Kyubey in several timelines and gains the power to see the future. As she is prone to seeing Madoka's potential threat to the world and aim to kill her before she becomes a Witch, Homura really doesn't like her or her partner Kirika, who is now her Soulmate. Currently the second in command of the Wings of the Magius, below only the three Magius themselves.

Adaptational Early Appearance: Oriko and Kirika have been active as Magical Girls for longer than usual, having had several adventures before joining the Magius early in their formation when they usually contract closer to the start of the time loops.
The Chessmaster: She's doing something that works to her endgame that involves both leading the Magius and helping the Mitakihara characters.
Composite Character: Alongside her existing traits, she's also in Mifuyu's usual role in the Magius on account of Mifuyu being dead.
Dragon-in-Chief: As the three Magius are busy with their own duties, it's up to Oriko to handle much of the day-to-day operations of the organization.
Dragon with an Agenda: Downplayed, as Oriko herself notes that in the long-run what differences that exist between her goals (to save the world) and the Magius (to save all Magical Girls) aren't actually damaging to each other, but in the short-term and more crucially without proper context would make her appear as a traitor.
Everyone Has Standards: While she's a Well-Intentioned Extremist in most timelines who still has the willingness to engage in morally-ambiguous actions in this one, she admits there are lines she's uncomfortable with crossing in regards to the Magius's decisions. She disapproves of Touka's preference for brainwashing, doesn't fool herself in thinking Alina is a good person even if she's not quite "evil" either, and dislikes the usage of the Uwasa due to how many of them cause innocent people to suffer. Oriko in particular singles out the case of the Uwasa of the Anonymous AI and how the realization that it sat better with her when the girl staying with it was willing and happy there versus a scared innocent was sobering to dwell on, to the point she didn't sleep well at all that night despite Kirika's best efforts.
Huge Schoolgirl: Homura notes that she's the tallest Magical Girl she usually deals with and stands 170cm tall, which is taller than many adult women in Japan.
New Transfer Student: According to the (non-canon) Soulmate Sidestory on doppels, Oriko transferred to St. Liliana's under the alias 'Oriko Kire'.
Not Quite Flight: She's capable of "flying" by riding on her floating orbs. Kyoko considers the sight of her balancing on two orbs with her feet while shooting through the air to be utterly ridiculous.
Seers: Her power, and thanks to her Soulbond with Kirika she can spam it with much greater frequency and for longer lengths of time than before. She uses it to better organize and aid the mission of the Magius.

Kirika Kure

A somewhat strange girl who in many timelines is Oriko's partner in crime, utterly devoted to her as the Black Magical Girl and someone who Homura prefers to kill on sight. This time around, she's Oriko's Soulmate and her own personal enforcer.

Adaptational Early Appearance: Oriko and Kirika have been active as Magical Girls for longer than usual, having had several adventures before joining the Magius early in their formation when they usually contract closer to the start of the time loops.
Adaptational Heroism: Whatever Oriko is after, Kirika is not being used to kill people for her this time, meaning she is a moral step or two above the Black Magical Girl serial killer she was in her debut manga.
Animal Motifs: Both Mami and Homura have noted Kirika to be cat-like: being prone to being in her own world and uncaring of norms, caring not for personal space, and uses claws as a weapon.
Incoming Ham: Kirika's introduction to Mami and the plot occurs as she greets the former exiting a bathroom stall with a big "HELLO!"
Perky Female Minion: Where Oriko puts up a proper front, Kirika will read off note cards to know what she's saying and acts strange in general.
Side Bet: She's the bookie for the ongoing bet in the Magius on whether or not the Amane twins are having sex and if so how the truth of the matteris going to come out.
Time Master: As Homura notes, Kirika's power is the ability to slow down time, which to other people's perception tends to appear as Super-Speed as shown when she makes her exit after talking to Mami by transforming and then just vanishing from sight.

Ryoko Kitadan

A White Feather, Ryoko is a huge dinosaur fan whose powers involve bringing dinosaurs back to life as her personal, seemingly endless army.

Berserk Button: Ryoko is obsessed over dinosaur facts and is quick to angrily correct people who get things wrong. For example, Velociraptors have feathers, damn it!
Calling Your Attacks: She shouts the names of the dinosaurs she summons.
Enemy Summoner: While she can fight directly if she has to, she usually focuses on constantly summoning dinosaurs to fight for her.
Improbable Weapon User: Her Magical Girl weapon is a magnifying glass with a claw on the bottom. Unlike most Magical Girls with a odd weapon though, she usually doesn't use it to directly fight but to spawn her armies of dinosaurs to do the fighting for her.
Meaningful Name: Her last name is very similar to that of the Kitadani Formation, one of Japan's most important sites for dinosaur fossils.
Original Character: One of story's wholly-original Magical Girls.
Powers Do the Fighting: Ryoko doesn't generally engage her foes directly, her weapon is not built for it. She instead summons dinosaurs to attack her foes for her. Kyoko taunts her to 'fight like a Magical Girl'. Her response is this.
Ryoko:I am. This is my magic and how I fight. I fight with the greatest creatures who ever ruled the earth at my beck and call.
Raptor Attack: Ryoko seems to favor using these types of dinosaurs to attack her enemies. While she usually uses the larger Austroraptor, she does also summon Velociraptors, which are noticeably smaller, as a means of combat.
Squishy Wizard: Kyoko is frank that she sucks at close-quarters combat, only having a magnifying glass as a weapon. The couple of times Ryoko gets hit by Kyoko, the strikes are pretty severe as a result. However in order to actually do that, you have to fight through a seemingly endless army of dinosaurs that can range from a pack of turkey-sized Velociraptors to powerhouses like a Stegosaurus or a Tyrannosaurus rex, and there's nothing stopping her from summoning more while you're busy dealing with the ones she's already summoned.
Weapon-Based Characterization: She uses a magnifying glass, showing not only how she's interested in paleontology, but that she uses her powers, not herself, to fight.

Sute Kaneko

A White Feather, Sute is a huge fan of Shonen Manga. As such, she wished to become a Shonen Manga protagonist, granting her considerable powers at the cost of her ability to seemingly understand that Madoka Magica isn't a Shonen Manga.

Awesome, but Impractical: Many of her techniques are this. Sure, she might have the potential to be one of the most destructive Magical Girls in all of Japan, but her magic costs are so extreme just training causes her to need to use Grief Seeds almost constantly. She did mercenary work pre-Magius, but she spent most of her time burning through what Grief Seeds she managed to get and part of her payment for services explicitly demanded Grief Seeds.
Blood Knight: Her fight with Homura simply leaves her excited for more, which Homura doesn't reciprocate, and she expresses a desire for Mami to come to Kamihama so they can a "proper" battle with nothing held back.
Coat Cape: She wears her White Feather cloak like this.
Combo Platter Powers: Sute is able to use a variety of powers derived from her four favorite Shonen series: Bleach, Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece. As a result she is able to use her magic to imitate a wide variety of abilities, including.
- Bleach: Flash Step.
- Dragon Ball: Flight, Solar Flare
- One Piece: Observation Haki, Armarment Haki, Finger Pistol, Tempest Kick
Crazy Enough to Work: How most people who hear what her wish was tend to react. Kyoko in particular states what Sute wished for is in the category of wishes that shouldn't be possible but somehow still worked, and she further believes Sute is what happens when Kyubey "grants wishes while drunk".
The Dreaded: She appears to be the most powerful member of the Magius who isn't a Magius herself, and Kyoko's attitude very quickly changed when she saw it was her that had come with Ryoko to get her and not any of the other Enforcers.
Genre Refugee: Due to how her wish worked, Sute Kaneko doesn't just possess Shonen Manga powers, she genuinely sees the world through the lenses of a Shonen.
Hired Guns: Before joining the Magius, she did a lot of work for Magical Girls in Kamihama as a paid means of getting rid of the worst Witches.
Huge Schoolgirl: She's taller than Oriko, whose already taller than most adult women in Japan.
Original Character: One of story's wholly-original Magical Girls.
Undying Loyalty: Towards the Magius, specifically Touka and Nemu, for saving her life when she was all but living on borrowed time with how her powers drained her Soul Gem. So much so that her costume displays two separate Magius symbols on it.
Unskilled, but Strong: Sute has control of her immense reserves of magic so poor she makes a suicidal Sayaka look magically efficient when holding back with less intensive attacks, but she's also so fast and quick in her reflexes while holding back she can match Homura's time stops despite not knowing what Homura's powers are, and her raw power is such she can almost casually destroy Witches that take entire teams of Magical Girls to just stalemate.

Arisa Narumi

A White Feather, Arisa is a Magical Girl from Hohzuki City who through unknown exact circumstances joined the Wings of the Magius relatively recently.

Adaptational Villainy: Arisa was a heroic character in Puella Magi Suzune Magica, albeit one who started to take a darker turn to Anti-Hero before her death, but is mentioned to have joined the Wings of the Magius in this story due to it taking place after said darker turn but not dying yet.
The Ghost: She's mentioned in passing several times, notably by Kyoko in a taunt about being sent with Ryoko to apprehend her for the Magius in Chapter 7 (it was actually Sute), but she has yet to make a full appearance.
Hero of Another Story: Some version of Suzune Magica went down in this universe, and Kyoko briefly mentions that Arisa was responsible for or can at least vouch for the complete disappearance of Witches from Hohzuki, so she's clearly been up to her own brand of adventures away from the Mitakihara gang.
Spared by the Adaptation: Arisa rather infamously dies in Volume 3 of her home manga after being the main protagonist of the first two volumes. Here, while the events of Suzune Magica up through Volume 2 more or less happen as in canon, here she returned to Kamihama after the events of the Cross Connection event to join the Magius and thus before Volume 3, averting her canon demise.

Yuuri Asuka

A Magical Girl from Asunaro City who has the power to heal sicknesses thanks to her wish to heal her dear Airi of a fatal illness, a wish that led to her and Airi being Soulmates. Her membership in the Magius is as Touka and Nemu's personal healer to handle their Soul Seizure condition.

Combat Medic: While her magic is mostly focused on healing and her main use of it is to heal others with it, Yuuri is still capable of fighting, having once come to blows with Kyoko.
Composite Character: As Oriko takes on roles Mifuyu had as a coordinator of the Magius operations, Yuuri takes on Mifuyu's personal role with Touka and Nemu in filling the role left vacant by Iroha's erasure from their memories.
Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: A healer who is the token good teammate of the Magius who devotes herself to helping the sick and injured with blond hair. Even her inner Witch, Arzt Kochen, is comparably nice, as instead of focusing on an inner darkness or failing like Candeloro, Homulilly, and Bella Donna, Artz mostly is fueled by the nagging feeling of Yuuri not doing enough to help people.
Healing Hands: Her magic specializes in healing others, even from severe conditions. While the act takes a toll on her, with Soul Seizure healing in particular wiping her out for the rest of the day, her Soulbond with Airi and the Doppel Barrier keeps her going despite it.
Improbable Weapon User: Her weapon is described by Kyoko as a giant medical needle.
Mayfly–December Romance: She is a Magical girl and so can stop her aging, but Airi is human and will still age normally. Touka is trying to figure out a way to extend Airi's lifespan, though this is less of an immediate priority.
Spared by the Adaptation: A combination of her Soulbond with Airi keeping her from being overwhelmed by the despair she took on healing others and being scouted by Oriko to be Nemu and Touka's nurse for their Soul Seizure condition spared Yuuri of her fate of Witching Out in front of the Pleiades Saints.
Token Good Teammate: Among the Magius you have Alina, Touka, Nemu, and Oriko, and then you have Yuuri, who just wants to use her magic to heal people and was brought in by Oriko to be Touka and Nemu's nurse for their Soul Seizure condition and in her free time heals sick children. Oriko calls her goals the simplest and purest of all of them.
Weapon-Based Characterization: The personal healer of two Magius uses a needle as her weapon.

The Amane Sisters

A pair of White Feathers, Tsukuyo and Tsukasa are a pair of twins in the Wings of the Magius. Kyoko doesn't think highly of them, while many in the Magius have questions about their relationship.

A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: Tsukasa was one of Kanagi's subordinates prior to joining the Wings of The Magius.
Gruesome Grandparent: Like in canon, the (non-canon) Doppel Sidestory notes that their grandmother is very harsh and has worked Tsukuyo until she collapsed before.
No-Sell: They were able to cancel out Sasa Yuuki's attempts to control them because she specifically tried to turn them against one another, which got hard-countered by their wish to never hate each other.
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Kyoko finds them annoying and weak and Sasa outright ignored them as threats. They ultimately are the ones who take the latter down.
Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: The non-canon Doppel Sidestory has the two leave the Magius after witnessing a completely out of her mind Oriko affectionately hug the massive tapeworm that came out of her Soulmate.
Twincest: Not confirmed, but seemingly the majority of the Magius have their suspicions about their exact relationship with each other, up to and including having a betting pool on it. The non-canon Doppel Sidestory has Kanagi note that Tsukasa's thoughts after seeing Tsukuyo's naked body used to be the most horrifying thing she'd seen in someone's mind.

Sasa Yuuki

A former Black Feather from Kazamino who tried to brainwash her fellow Feathers and take over the Wings of the Magius.

Didn't See That Coming: Her plan was going well... until she targeted the exact three White Feathers who could notice and counter her magic.
The Starscream: Attempted to take over the Wings of the Magius through brainwashing. She was ultimately stopped before it got too far.
Stupid Evil: Touka has a low opinion on her intelligence, and continuously trying to get the Amane's to attack each other was a failing strategy she kept using.

Himena Aika

A White Feather whose wish revived her boyfriend within her head.

Adaptational Badass: Has figured out how to give her boyfriend a way to interact with the world by letting him control her scarf. Canonically, Hiko just stays within Himena's head and doesn't really affect anything outside.
Adaptational Early Appearance: Canonically, she didn't get involved in anything Kamihama-related until after the Wings of the Magius fell.
Gamer Chick: She and Hiko often play video games together.
The Ghost: Has yet to appear in person, although several current and former members of the Wings of the Magius have mentioned her.
Spanner in the Works: Her boyfriend being a separate mind within Himena's meant he wasn't affected by Sasa Yuuki's brainwashing, enabling them to figure it out and work against her.

Alexandra Kurusu

A Magical Girl from Yukuni who is part of the Wings of the Magius.

Adaptational Backstory Change: Things didn't go as badly for her and the other canonical members of Folklore of Zero in Yukuni, thanks to the existence of Soulbonds meaning magic in general was more accepted. This in turn resulted in the group not forming, meaning Alexandra has a different reason for coming to Kamihama.
Adaptational Early Appearance: Canonically, she didn't get involved in anything Kamihama-related until after the Wings of the Magius fell.
The Ghost: Has yet to appear in person, although Touka has mentioned her.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: She was using her magic to protect the Uwasa of the Misery Rhyton, and Touka believes she would have saved it if a former Neo-Monzenbashi member hadn't screwed things up by attacking Iroha out of revenge.

The Uwasa

The Uwasa of The Kamihama Monster Sightings

The first Uwasa encountered by Yachiyo and thus the first hint of something being off in Kamihama. It turned Kanagi, Ren, Meiyui, Karin, Hazuki, and possibly others into monsters before being destroyed by Yachiyo, Kanae, and Mel.

Adaptational Early Appearance: The Witch the Uwasa was based off of appeared in Act 2, while the Uwasa version appeared before the events of Act 1 in Soulmate.
Adaptation Species Change: This Uwasa is the story's version of a Witch that turned Kanagi into a vampire during the Halloween Castle of Prayers and Funerals ~ The Living are Bewildered, the Dead Are Silent event.
Small Role, Big Impact:
- Despite not appearing in person, the Uwasa's attacks on multiple teams in Kamihama became a major reason for the Magical Girls of the city to unite faster than in canon, and drew Yachiyo out of her isolation.
- Its turning of Ren into a Succubus would, by chance, lead to Rika gaining a fusion mode with Bella Donna.

The Uwasa of The Friendship Ending Staircase

The first Uwasa encountered by Iroha and Momoko's team, entirely offscreen.

Killed Offscreen: Defeated similarly to canon unseen.

The Uwasa of The Seance Shrine

A Uwasa who was attached to a shrine, it lured people in who sought to find those they loved and trapped them. Vulnerable only to curses, Magical Girls struggled against it.

Healing Factor: It can heal off practically anything a Magical Girl can do to it.
No-Sell: Being a wish-based creation, Magical Girls struggled to kill it. A Magical Girl fused with her Witch had no such trouble.
