Summary
An ancient Roman magical girl who serves as a maid of honor to a prominent family in Pompeii. After experiencing the tragedy of a natural disaster that destroyed the town, she was reborn three years into the past. She is scrambling in the midst of the "Peace of Rome" to change history and save the people from the coming scourge. She secretly loves board games.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of prophecy. Its form is a scale. By viewing her scale-shaped Doppel, the master of this emotion is able to see people’s futures. In order to guarantee that its prophecies are objective, this Doppel is mainly composed of inorganic materials. One of its plates is engraved with a symbol meaning “hope,” and the other with a symbol meaning “despair”. The plates hold the respective weights of the lives that can be saved versus the lives that cannot, but since nobody other than its master can see them, few people listen to its master’s prophecies. Such is the curse bestowed upon the one who prayed to “save everyone,” but killed her own maidenly heart in exchange.
Side Story
Appearances
Powers and Abilities
Amaryllis is able to transform into other people, with the addition of others ignoring inconsistencies within the disguise, as well as lies about herself. The effect of this power on others needs to be reapplied, as it wears off after a few days. This is how she was able to convince everyone that she was a servant working for Junia, despite nobody having seen her before.
Etymology
- An Amaryllis is a small genus of flowering bulbs with two species, the better known of which is Amaryllis belladonna.
- In the Victorian language of flowers, amaryllis means "love, beauty, and determination", and can also represent hope and achievement.
Trivia
- She is the only Puella Historia girl to have the Void element.
- She is one of the two earliest-known Void-element Magical Girls, along with Pernelle. As Pernelle's birthdate is left ambiguous, it is unknown which of the two appeared first.
- Rather than the conventional pips (dots) typically used on dice, the numbers on Amaryllis' dice are represented with Roman numerals (appropriate for her current era and location).
- All parts of the Amaryllis belladonna plant are toxic and contain several different alkaloids, such as lycorine, pancracine and amaryllidine. This can cause vomiting and diarrhea in humans. In wildlife these toxins will affect grazing species, and will cause drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal distress, lethargy, and heart or renal failure.
- The multitude of toxic effects the plant causes ties in to the numerous status effects Amaryllis's magia causes.
- A notable flower in the Amaryllis family is the Spider Lily. Homura Akemi is heavily associated with spider lilies throughout Rebellion, especially in her witch form. This draws a parallel between Homura, the most notable time traveller in the series, and Amaryllis, the time traveller furthest back chronologically. Both of them have purple eyes and a purple Soul Gem, and both of them have the intention to save people from a disastrous fate by traveling back in time.
- In Greek mythology, Cassandra was the name of a priestess who was fated to utter true prophecies but would never be believed by anyone. The name has become synonymous with someone who tells the truth but goes unheard.
- Her transformation uses an altered version of 'Sis Puella Magica!'.
- The board game that she is playing with Cornelia in one of her Memorias appears to be ludus duodecim scriptorum, a predecessor of backgammon.
- When using changing costumes on the homescreen, Amaryllis can take the form of Junia, giving her new voice lines. This is possible because of her wish.
- Junia's house most closely resembles the House of Menander.
- Her magia is also written as "Alea iacta est". The proper translation for the Latin is "The die is cast" and is used as an expression for something that has passed the point of no return.
- In the game's Japanese, this is translated as "Rubicon's Final Decision". The phrase "crossing the Rubicon" is an idiom that means "passing a point of no return". Its meaning comes from allusion to the crossing of the river Rubicon by Julius Caesar in early January 49 BC
- In Ancient Rome, Junia and Cornelia were family names (with the ending changing to -us when applied to a man). Thus, her given name (if she even has one) is unknown.
- She has a twin sister, so her name at birth would have been Cornelia. When necessary to distinguish her from her twin, she was referred to as "Cornelia Minor", contrasting with "Cornelia Major". But once she was adopted into the Junia family, her name of course changed to match.

| "Go Lord Hilarus!
Teeheehee, I'm going to run solo and win the championship!" The left-handed red charioteer appeared like a comet in the amphitheater, causing the crowd to go crazy! The chariot of the invincible champion is quickly being pulled away by the desperate galloping of the enemy. | 「ヒラルス様、いっけー！
えへへっ、このまま独走で優勝です！」 番狂わせに湧く円形闘技場に彗星のごとく現れた、左利きの赤い御者 捨て身の疾駆に、無敵の王者の戦車がみるみる引き離されてゆく |

| Magical girls who try to resist their fate end up in sorrow.
The witch breeds sadness and paints over the history that has seeped into it. Breaking the chain of sorrow is the legend that connects hope to the future. When the despair engraved in history is connected to the present, hope is carried to the future. | 運命に抗おうとも悲しみで終わる魔法少女
その染みついた歴史に、魔女が悲しみを繁殖させて上塗りする 悲しみの連鎖を断つのは、希望を未来へ繋ぐ伝説 歴史に刻まれた絶望が今と結びついたとき、希望は未来へ運ばれる |

| "This shape, it kind of resembles my favorite bamboo shoots!"
"In that case, it's more similar to cheese! I bet Mami feels the same way!" "Hmmm, I'd say it looks more like shortcake to me." When girls of that age get together, competitions become secondary. Food is their topic of conversation. | 「この形、なんだか吾の大好物タケノコに似てるのだ！」
「それならチーズのほうが似てるのです！マミもきっと同じです！」 「うーん、私はショートケーキに見えるわね」 年頃の女子が集まれば競技は二の次。食べ物の話題に花が咲く |
