Speculation

The theories below have not been proven yet.
Please keep in mind that they are fanmade theories, and not official material.

• It's possible that Nighthawk is connected to Kuroe or her Witch form, Ichizo.
  • They share a voice actor with Kuroe.
  • Just like Ichizo, Nighthawk seems to have mud dripping from their wings.
  • They share two design details with Kuroe's nightjar plushie, they both have a clover design on their left eye and wear a jabot.
  • Ichizo's type is Nighthawk Witch (ヨダカの魔女, Yodaka no Majo). The katakana-only spelling of "nighthawk" (ヨダカ, yodaka) is a trait she shares with Nighthawk's name.
  • In Lighthouse Memories - Episode 2, A-Q states that "[Name] finding [her] way [to the Lighthouse] is proof enough that [she's] a Magical Girl". This suggests Nighthawk might be or previously have been a Magical Girl as well.
  • Nighthawk is not the only inhabitant of the Lighthouse that bears similarities to a pre-existing Magia Record character, as A-Q appears to be connected to Alina Gray.
