Witch

REBECCA Rebecca
Type	Sheep Witch
Nature	Insomnia
Appearances	Magia Record, Magia Record Episode 2, Magia Exedra
English descriptionJapanese description Sheep Witch. Nature: Insomnia. This Witch is scared of everything. Not knowing what to do, she stays within a fence in her Labyrinth. Being so wary, she has grown many eyes. There is no moment, neither day or night, that she closes all of her eyes at the same time, which means she does not sleep. She has never gone outside of her fence, and never will. She sees herself as her Familiars' pet and waits inside her fence for them to hunt humans to feed her. She looks so meek because she seems scared, but when one of her Familiars is defeated, she becomes filled with panic and goes on a rampage. 羊の魔女。 その性質は不眠。 結界内にある柵の中で、自分が何をして良いのかも分からずただ毎日を怯えながら過ごす魔女。周囲を警戒するあまり瞳が増えてしまい、昼夜を問わず全ての瞳が閉じることはなく眠ることもないという。この魔女は今まで一度も柵から出たことはなく、これからも出るつもりはない。その柵の中では自分の手下達に飼われているつもりで生活しており、餌である人間を手下達が狩ってくるのを待っている。常に何かに怯えているため大人しい印象だが飼い主である手下が倒されるとパニック状態になって暴れ出してしまう。

Minions

Joseph

JOSEPH Joseph
Type	Sheep Witch's Minion
Role	Shepherd
Appearances	Magia Record, Magia Record Episode 2, Magia Exedra
English descriptionJapanese description Sheep Witch Minion. Role: Shepherd. These Familiars stroll leisurely about their Labyrinth. They regard themselves as shepherds of their most precious possession: their Witch. Normally they simply watch over her, but when they see a stray human in their Labyrinth, they signal each other using the horns that hang around their necks. Once they have gathered, their hunt begins. Since there are so many of them taking care of the meek Sheep Witch, they do not have much to do other than hunt humans. They have too much time on their hands, so they spend a lot of their days talking about the quality of this year's cheese. 羊の魔女の手下。 その役割は羊飼い。 結界の周りを散策するようにゆっくりと歩いている手下。魔女の飼い主のつもりでいる手下たちは、魔女を大切な財産だと思っている。普段は魔女の様子を見守る他、結界内へ迷い込んだ人間を見つけて、首から下げた角笛を吹き鳴らし、遠くの手下達に合図を送ることで集団で狩りをしている。とは言え、大人しい羊の魔女一匹に対して羊飼いが大量に居る状態であるため、人間が来ない限りはあまりやることもなく暇を持て余している。羊飼いとしての仕事より手下同士で今年のチーズの出来具合を話している時間の方が多い。

History

Magia Record Anime

There are several noticeable changes to Rebecca in the anime:

• Her name is spelled "REBEKKA" (REBEKKA), which is the German version of the name "Rebecca".
• Her eyes have been replaced with a black and white spiral.
• The feathers that adorn her neck have also been changed to black feathers.
• She has a new unique attack in which she covers herself with wool before spinning at her foes.
• Has a pair of creatures that look like her, but lacks horns and has human ears in place of an eye. However, it is unknown if they are a new type of Familiars, a subspecies of the Witch, or parts of the labyrinth.
  • Judging Joseph's description saying the lot of them have to take care of a single Rebecca, it is more likely that these creatures are decorations within the labyrinth.

Trivia

• Rebecca is a Hebrew name meaning "noose" or "tie up".
• Joseph is a Hebrew name meaning "he will add".
• Kuro (くろ)'s fluffy cloak, hoof-like gloved hands, pockets that resemble closed eyes, lack of her own eyes, her weakness, her fearful personality, and her reliance on others to give her Grief Seeds make her greatly resemble Rebecca. However, because she is alive during an event that takes place after Arc 2, she cannot be the same Magical Girl.
