"My dream is to grow lots of these flowers and turn them into a bouquet when I get married!" - Miyuki, Chapter 10.
Miyuki Asami (浅海 美幸 Asami Miyuki) is a posthumous character from Puella Magi Kazumi Magica. She was the younger sister of Saki Asami, who died due to injuries from a car accident.
Personality
A sweet young girl who wished to get married someday. She enjoyed lily of the valley flowers. Miyuki was very close with her older sister, Saki. Saki has stated that she was similar to Mirai Wakaba in that she had "friends" (possibly stuffed animals or flowers) who protected her emotionally.
History
Miyuki appears in a brief scene with Saki in chapter 10.
When showing Saki the lily of the valley flower she had grown in a flashback, Miyuki claims that she wants to make a bridal bouquet with them someday. Saki says this is impossible, as no man is good enough for her. She then promises to marry Saki one day.
Unfortunately, Miyuki got into a car accident and dies in the hospital. Her death drives Saki to despair, leaving her vulnerable to the effects of a witch's kiss.
After being rescued by Kazumi, Saki made a contract with Juubey and wished for Miyuki's lily of the valley to bloom forever.
