Personality and Traits

"Here’s the thing though, before you grow up, you should learn how to make the right kind of mistakes. You are still young, so it’s easy to bounce back after getting hurt."
"See, the older you get, the bigger the consequences are if you mess up. The more responsibilities you have, the less mistakes you’re allowed to make."
"Yeah, sometimes being an adult can really suck. That’s why we’re allowed to drink alcohol!"
— Junko, Madoka Magica Episode 6.

Trivia

• Urobuchi had always wanted to create a strong-minded female character like Junko. He wanted to create a family that would not be confined to the idea that heroism is reserved to men's role, he wanted a concrete example where women can also be heroic and strong.
• Urobuchi created a family with a strong mother and kind father to create a strong background for Madoka, the kind of family where a girl would develop a strong sense of courage.
• Junko was a poor student and spent most of her time doing naughty things.
  • According to Akiyuki Shinbo, Junko may have been a delinquent in her younger days.

Observations

• The anime doesn't explicitly state what Junko's occupation is. One clue indicates that Junko was reviewing past currency trades and it may be related to her work.

Etymology

• The characters in her first name mean "詢" (to consult with) and "子" (child) respectively.
