Mayoi Hachikuji (八九寺 真宵 Hachikuji Mayoi) is a character from the Monogatari franchise, originally a light novel series by Nisio Isin. The series received an anime by Studio Shaft that was directed by Akiyuki Shinbo, giving it a tangential connection to the Madoka Magica franchise.
The Monogatari series first crossed over with Madoka Magica as part of the "Madogatari" event. The crossover was limited to official merchandise and artwork.
In 2018, Mayoi was made into a playable character in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record, as part of a Madogatari event.

Summary
A labyrinth magical girl. One of the 'if' forms... of the heroines of Monogatari series if they became magical girls. Her excellent defense will cause the enemy’s attack to avoid her, as if it had lost its way. For some reason, I can never reach my mother’s house. My wish was “I wish to return home”.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of wandering astray. Its form is a lost snail. The master of this emotion wishes only to return to her mother’s house. This Doppel, on the other hand, believes itself to be its master’s true mother, and in order to protect its master from the cruel fate that awaits her, it creates many spatial vortexes in front of her to prevent her from returning home. Those unlucky enough to be caught in the vortexes will be trampled and killed by the Doppel, and will be destined to wander eternally between the realms of life and death.
Side Story
Mayoi has no side story. The player is simply presented with battles and no story scenes inbetween.
Powers and Abilities
Mayoi uses the spell Caterpillant (Infinitely Reckless) and Screw Zone (Spiral Path). She specializes in defense and evasion, however she lacks traditional attacks. She can dig and make tunnels with her drill, but because it is meant for creating paths where there are none, it is more of a construction tool instead of a weapon.
Etymology
- The characters of her last name mean "八" (eight), "九" (nine), and "寺" (temple), respectively.
- This translates to "89 temples" which is in reference to the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Her being the 89th temple could refer to a trope of Buddhism where only 88 temples are allowed to go on a procession and so being the 89th temple is a sign of misfortune.
- The characters of her first name mean "真" (truth) and "宵" (evening), respectively.
- Alternatively, it can be read as "迷い" which means "to lose one's way".
Trivia
- When Mayoi uses her doppel, it does not show her witch's name in runes. Rather, it displays the white kanji "咼", which is the kanji for 'a' (as in a thing), in the same vein as to how Nadeko Sengoku's doppel's name translates to 'it'. However, "咼" is also the right half of the character for 'snail' (蝸), much like how Nadeko's doppel name was the right half of the character for 'snake' (蛇)
- The form of her doppel being a 'lost cow' is a pun on a play on the word "snail" (蝸牛, katatsumuri) which has the character for "cow" (牛, ushi).
- In Magia Record, Mayoi is event limited and must be rolled in the gacha.
- Mayoi has the same voice actor as Kyubey.
