Summary
A magical girl who is the younger sister of Olga. Although she is basically shy, she has intelligent, courageous, and has outstanding physical ability. On the other hand, she thinks that her life's purpose is to make her beloved sister happy, and plans to expand her power to make her sister's dream come true.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of estrangement. Its form is a shipwreck. The master of this emotion is suffering from significant mental imbalance, as the heart of her elder sister– raised together with her like two joined trees– has begun to drift away.
In response to the destructive impulses produced from this imbalance, her Doppel will brutally thrash and destroy anything and everything that approaches it. Whenever it manifests, it ceaselessly rushes across the dark ocean in search of prey, until the deep, murky emotions comprising it are put at ease. However, no peaceful rest awaits it after doing so.

- Her magia is named after Mánagarmr, also known as Hati Hróðvitnisson. Hati is a warg (a giant wolf) that chases Máni, the Moon, across the night sky, just as the wolf Sköll chases Sól, the Sun, during the day, until the time of Ragnarök, when they will swallow these heavenly bodies.

| 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
