Summary
A magical girl who turned her eyes away from reality by making suggestions to herself. Outwardly she is smiling and friendly, but she also possesses the ruthlessness to make decisions that would make someone unhappy without hesitation. She continues to spend her days experiencing happiness when she goes out and unhappiness when she comes home.
Doppel Description
The Doppel of seclusion. Its form is a mirror.
The master of this emotion is angered by how her Doppel disdains reality yet refuses to move, and attempts to take control of it herself.
This Doppel drew out a precise and intricate ideal world for itself, but placing a mess of complicated emotions onto that world has rendered it unable to move. There was a time when it tried to project its imagination onto mirrors to weave its ideal world, but the products of its own imagination felt not only bland, but outright shallow. In the end, after continually agonizing and chipping away at its own heart, its form changed into a flat, symmetrical shadow.
Sick of the sight of her own Doppel hiding and worrying, its master proposed that they simply tack on the parts that were missing– to find living sacrifices with which to supplant its imagination. The Doppel agrees with its master’s suggestion.

Powers and Abilities
- See also Winchester#Powers and Abilities.
As a magical girl, Mikoto's power was Suggestion, the ability to make others do what she told them. She is only able to make people do simple things, and it also extends to witches and familiars. This ability extends to more profound mind manipulation, allowing Mikoto to alter perceptions of reality and rewrite memories.
After transforming into a witch due to Mitama’s wish, Mikoto's persona is split from Winchester and she gains a new power called Transplant magic, which allows her to transfer her persona into another magical girl’s body. While in a host, Mikoto appears as an apparition only the host can see. If the host’s persona is weak or dormant, Mikoto can take full control of the body and with enough energy, Mikoto can take over the body of an active host entirely for a short time. Her abilities also extend to the manipulation of emotional or metaphysical energies, such as malice, as seen when she absorbed Rumor Hanna’s malice, or when she transferred her Mirrors powers to Iroha.
As a witch, Winchester's powers allow her to link her barriers through mirrors, creating a vast network across different locations, universes, and even timelines. Her labyrinth can connect to points in time, past and future, as well as different universes, however paradoxes can cause the timeline to collapse, and by destroying mirrors from which those paradoxes emerge, this can be avoided. Winchester's labyrinth expands and becomes more complex as intruders enter, and she absorbs small amounts of magical energy from magical girls within. Her labyrinth also has the power to mesmerize and entrance intruders to compel them to explore further despite the risks.
Mikoto's familiars, the Kirico Keepers, have the ability to create copies of guests, including magical girls, by copying their vital information. These familiars can replicate the appearance, abilities, and memories of their targets to such an extent that the copies themselves often don't realize they’re not the original.
Her Doppel grants her flight while carrying Mikoto and can project copies of itself, as well as light beams. Winchester can also project Mikoto’s imagination into mirrors to create a unique window of reality.
Etymology
- Her surname contains the characters 瀬 (rapids, current) and 奈 (what; apple, apple tree).
- 奈 can be an abbreviation of 奈良 (Nara), the capital city of Nara Prefecture, which has become an epicenter of Buddhism in Japan and a popular pilgrimage site. When designed, the city's plan was laid out on a grid and divided by four great roads. Likewise, according to Chinese cosmology, the ruler's place was fixed like the pole star. By dominating the capital, the ruler brought heaven to earth.
- It is through her Witch's Labyrinth that Ultimate Madoka's power was forcibly brought to Magia Record's timeline in A New Beginning, threatening to destroy it.

Trivia
- In her Magical Girl Story, she is said to prefer cats over dogs. Notably, cats are often associated with Witches and this could allude to her eventually becoming a Witch.
- One of her quotes indicates that she likes Peonies, Camellias and Red Spider Lilies. Those flowers represent bravery, longing or perishing with grace, and an abandoned memory or to never meet again respectively.
- She's Buddhist, as at her home her mother has a Buddhist altar in the living room. This is discovered in the final Mirror Layer chapter.

 (NA: She Who Waits) |
That was the first time I waited impatiently to meet someone in my life. I'd never even had a whisper of such a feeling, but I was suddenly pulled in by this person, and before I knew it, she had a huge place in my heart. That's why I want her to come quick... I wanna see that smile again. | 会うのが待ち遠しいなんて、生まれて初めてだった そんな気なんてさらさらなかったのに、いつの間にか心惹かれて 気が付いたら心の中でとても大きな存在になっていた だから早く来てほしい…そしてまた、あの笑顔を見せてほしい | ||
 |
**Unique to Mikoto Sena** With matching pens, we write notes on things we haven't been able to tell anyone before and exchange them... that's how I wanted it to be. I knew she would accept it, so all I had to do was tell her how I really felt with this pen... and I ended up tearing it up and throwing it away. | お揃いのペンで今まで誰にも言えなかったことを
お互いにノートに書いて交換し合う…そんなふうにしたかった 受けいれてくれるとわかってたから、あとはこのペンで本当の想いを 伝えるだけだったのに…結局は破って捨ててしまった |
||
 |
This mirror reflects someone who looks a lot like me.
In this mirror and in that mirror, I see someone who looks like me... Which one is the real me? They all feel different. "...Find me" because right now, right here, I feel different, too. | この鏡は私によく似た誰かを映している
その鏡にもあの鏡にも映るのは私みたいな誰か… どれが本当の私なんだろう？どれも違う気がする 「…見つけて」今、ここにいる私も違う気がするから |
||
 |
I didn't want anything special.
I was just happy to be ordinary... an ordinary, small happiness that could be found anywhere. That's all I wanted. Now that I have it, why am I sad? | 特別なものなんて、ひとつも求めていなかった
普通でよかった…どこにでもある普通の、小さな幸せ それだけでよかった 今、それが手に入ったはずなのに、どうして悲しいの？ |
||
 |
"Sena, you will be reborn.
You will be reborn, and everything that binds you to Sena will be cast away, and you will begin anew..." That night, for the first time, I felt recognized. | 「瀬奈、あんたは生まれ変わるの
瀬奈を縛りつけるものは全部台なしにして そこから新たにはじめるんだ…」 その夜、はじめて私は自分が認められた気がした |
||
 |
I felt like I could go anywhere
I felt like I could do anything... I felt like I could be anything. Even if no one else understands, this is our youth The setting sun was giving off its last glow | どこまでも行けるような気がしていた
何でもできる気がしていた…何にでもなれる気がしていた 他の誰から理解されなくても、これがふたりの青春 沈んでいく太陽は最後の輝きを放っていた |
||
 |
They made me invisible everywhere, they made me lose who I am.
So I need to fight back... at school, at home, at all of that. I'm going to prove to the best of my ability that we are here to stay. So we'll leap out of this dead end and head towards our shining doom. | どこにいても透明な存在にさせられた、私というものを失わされた
だから、反撃がいる…学校も家もそんなものすべて台なしにして 私は、私たちはここにいるのだと力の限り証明してやるんだ この行き止まりから飛び出し、輝く破滅へ向かって |
||
 |
**Unique to Rumor Mikoto** Two flowers blooming in an empty place, where no one can find them. The fact that they didn't wait for spring to bloom is a sign that they didn't want everything to melt away with the snow... Memories are here, quietly swaying. | 誰もいない場所で、誰にも見つからないように咲いている２輪の花
春を待たずに花をつけたのは、 すべてが雪と一緒に溶けなくなるのを嫌った証… 思い出はここで、静かに揺れている |
||
 |
I loved the setting sun, I loved being with the two of us.
Even if we ran away, there was no salvation for tomorrow, we were just waiting with our mouths open for the end. And yet our emotions sparkled, and everything seemed to glow... I was happy, so happy that I felt like we were born for this one moment. | 落ちていく太陽が好きだった、ふたりでいるのが好きだった
逃げても明日に救いはなく、ただ終わりが口を開けて待っている それなのに感情はきらめき、すべてが輝いて見えた… ふたりは幸福だった、この一瞬のために生まれてきたと思えるほど |
||
 |
"All these years, all this time, I've wanted to see it with you... these hopeful lights..."
If you say there's hope in the world, if it's something that shines for someone else, then don't let go of my hand anymore and take me with you. Did you know what I love... is the hope you light for me? | 「ずっとずっと、一緒に見たかった…この希望に満ちた灯りを…」
世界には希望があるというなら、誰かのために輝くものだというなら もうこの手を離さないで、私も一緒に連れていって 私が好きなのはね…あなたが灯してくれる希望なんだよ？ |
||
 |
I don't remember what I used called this person, or who they were anymore.
And I'm sure she doesn't remember me either... but the fact that we're here together proves that we were irreplaceable... Don't worry, you won't be lonely anymore... I'll always be here for you. | この人をなんて呼んでいたのか、この人が誰なのか、もう覚えていない
きっとこの人もあたしのことを覚えていない…でも、ふたりでここに いるってことは、きっとあたしたちが掛け替えのない存在だった証拠… ねえもう寂しくないよ、大丈夫…あたしがいつまでもそばにいるから |
||
 |
In reality, she believed in goodness... She wanted to be a hero who wouldn't abandon anyone who needed help. A dream she knew would never come true after all this time, but she still couldn't give up on it... She willingly abandoned it to protect the only person she cared about, who would become evil. | 本当は、善を信じていた…助けを求める人がいるなら見捨てたりしない
そんなヒーローになりたかった…今さら叶わないとわかっていたが それでも諦めきれずにいた夢…それを自ら捨てて、彼女は悪になる たったひとりの大切な人を守るために |
