Kagome Satori (佐鳥 かごめ,Satori Kagome) was a playable character in the 2017 mobile game Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record. She was not a magical girl but she was able to observe them and hear their telepathy thanks to the rumor that Nemu Hiiragi infused her with. She was infused with a small Rumor in order for her to write about and pass on the legacy of Magical Girls, whose hard work and exploits are not known to the general public thanks to their magical nature. She later contracted with Kyubey at the end of Chapter 11.
A Magical Girl continuing her work to make their existence known. She and her best friend since childhood, a stuffed mandragora named "Al-chan", collect information and compile memoirs together. She used to get extremely agitated and would speak through her stuffed animal.
Doppel Description
Sukhavati Smriti, Kagome's doppel
The Doppel of sowing. Its form is a heavenly flower. The master of this emotion dreams of a world of paradise, but loses her roots to her doppel. This doppel, which lacks a mind of its own, simply extends its roots and sucks up energy from the ground to bloom into a large flower. The flower grows until it envelops the sky and covers everything, moving its intricate patterns like a kaleidoscope, stopping the thoughts of those who see it and inviting them to inhale its powdery pollen, leading them to a paradise. The people on the road to paradise tell others in order spread it, but they are not sure if it is truly happiness themselves. No matter what you do, it will not stop, but as soon as you pull out its roots, it will wither and disappear.
Costume Stories
After a nice bath, Kagome goes to write in her journal before bed, but she begins to remember that today was rough for her. Her alarm clock battery died, so Aru-chan had to wake her up. She had to run to school as to not be late, which exhausted her. Later in class, Kagome was called on to recite an English phrase out loud. After school, she dropped her favorite handkerchief on the way home.
Back in the present, Kagome struggles to find anything good to write about, when Aru-chan suddenly begins eagerly alerting her to something. Looking over at her window still, Kagome sees that her Saintpaulia flowers have bloomed without incident. This small change seemed to drown out all the misfortunes of that day, and now feeling much better, Kagome can write in her diary, and tells Aru-chan that tomorrow will surely be a good day.
She is able to make Al-chan come to life and clone itself. In Puella Historia she is seen using this ability to spread news amongst the magical girls of Kamihama.
Etymology
The characters of her last name mean "to support" (佐) and "bird" (鳥) respectively.
Kagome Kagome is a Japanese children's game akin to Ring Around the Rosie, or Duck Duck Goose. The precise meaning of the title is unclear, but includes "caged bird", "circle you", and "lost".
Its possible circle-related meaning parallels Madoka Kaname's given name and Iroha Tamaki's surname, likely signifying her as the next major protagonist.
Satori is a Japanese Buddhist term that refers to enlightenment or understanding.
Although she had not contracted, the Opening theme for the second arc shows her in magical girl form.
In this scene, she is in Mitakihara City as it appears in the original series after its destruction by Walpurgisnacht.
Her design is based on the mandrake root and the lotus flower, with her Magical Girl outfit has a lotus motif (including the colour palette and a lotus crown). Her stuffed toy resembles a mandrake root.
Her doppel's design, however, more closely resembles a Rafflesia flower which uses the scent of carrion to attract flies and other insects to gather its pollen.
While her surname means "enlightenment", the name of her doppel also references this. Sukhavati refers to the land of pure bliss as referred to in Buddhism.
Smriti refers to a body of Hindu texts, which is a reference to the Magical Girl Memoirs that Kagome is working on. The word denotes a 'remembrance', further alluding to this. Together, the name 'Sukhavati Smriti' means something among the lines of 'remembrance of the land of ultimate bliss'.
Kagome was the last permanent 5-star magical girl to be released, as all 5-star magical girls that were released after her, were all limited.

"Goodnight Aru-chan"

The professor's words sink in and the world of the past expands in my head.
It's hard work with many difficult terms, but I can do my best for everyone.
I believe that this time will one day repay the debt of gratitude I owe to the Magical Girls.
I was walking along with Aru-chan and his friends, who have somehow taken on the forms of yokai, and they said it was...the "Night Parade of Hundreds of Demons"!
