The class representative witch. Her nature is to remain an onlooker. Using the spiderlike threads which she vomits forth, she created a school for herself alone within the sky of her barrier and endlessly acts out an ordinary daily student life there. If you ring the going-home bell, this witch will likely return to her house somewhere.

The Chairperson Witch. Her nature is a bystander. This Witch spins spider-like threads to create its own special school inside its Labyrinth. Before turning into a Witch, she was a serious student that didn't stand out, so she continues to repeat those dreary school days together with her Familiars. Even now, if she hears the school bell announcing the end of the day, she may head home, wherever that may be. When humans wander into her Labyrinth, they fall endlessly and eventually melt into the sky, feeding her. She does not attack anyone directly unless they are a scary intruder who disturbs her daily routines.

The class representative witch's minions. Their role is to be her classmates. Although the skates on their feet allow them to glide gracefully along the threads, all of them are actually controlled by the witch using her threads, and they have no will of their own.

History
Anime
Original Anime
Patricia and her familiars appear in Episode 10. They're seen fighting Mami, Homura and Madoka. Patricia attacks by sending Mathieu flying out of her skirt. Mami uses her ribbons to join together the clotheslines of the labyrinth so the girls can fight more easily. Homura defeats Patricia by pausing time and throwing a pipe bomb up her skirt.
The Rebellion Story
Only Patricia's familiars: Mathieu reappear in The Rebellion Story. They're seen fighting against the Clara Dolls to protect Madoka and Nagisa. They have a brief description, shown in Ulla's Rental Ver. Concept page.

Minions of the Class Representative Witch. They are puppets, so Sayaka controls them directly. To save Nagisa, they deliver a series of kicks to the children of the fake town. (委員長の魔女の手下。操り人形なので、さやかが直接操作。 なぎさを助けるため偽街の子供に連続キックをおみまいした。)
Magia Record Anime
Patricia appears in Episode 14 of the Magia Record Anime. She first appears at the beginning with all three girls fighting her however they fail and have to escape. The next day, Homura finds Patricia's labyrinth again with witch kissed humans outside. She decides to fight Patricia alone to save them. Both Homura and Madoka initially struggle before Sayaka arrives. They decide they can fight together even though they all know the truth about magical girls and witches and are able to defeat Patricia.
Noticeably, the barrier now isn't just cables and clouds, but also contains arms that sprouts out from the pillars, in which the design is also carried onto later games like Magia Exedra
Games
Madoka Magica Portable
Patricia and her familiars reappear in the game Madoka Magica Portable as enemies. There is a new type of Mathieu in the game that looks more like a teacher. While Patricia's familiars can appear in any Mysterious Witch's barriers, Patricia appears as the boss of the 10th floor of the Oblivious barrier.

Patricia
The Chairperson Witch. Her nature is a bystander. This Witch spins spider-like threads to create its own special school inside its Labyrinth. Before turning into a Witch, she was a serious student that didn't stand out, so she continues to repeat those dreary school days together with her Familiars. Even now, if she hears the school bell announcing the end of the day, she may head home, wherever that may be. When humans wander into her Labyrinth, they fall endlessly and eventually melt into the sky, feeding her. She does not attack anyone directly unless they are a scary intruder who disturbs her daily routines.
(委員長の魔女 その性質は傍観 蜘蛛のような糸を吐き結界内の空に自分だけの学園を作っている。 生前から地味で真面目なことだけが取り柄だった彼女は、今も淡々と自身が操る手下達と共にかつてと変わらない大して楽しくもない日常を繰り返す。 今も下校チャイムを鳴らせばこの魔女はどこかの住処へと帰っていくだろう。 結界内に迷い込んだ人間は、どこまでも落下しつつやがて空に溶けて魔女の養分となってしまう。 日常生活を乱す恐ろしい部外者でも来ない限り、魔女自ら手を下すことはあまりない。)
Mathieu
Minions of the Chairperson Witch. Their role is to be classmates. Although they glide gracefully on ice skates, these familiars are just mindless puppets on wires being manipulated by their Witch. When the Witch was still a girl she always hung her head in shame, so it is enough for her if her classmates have legs. Since they don't need school uniform shirts, their unneeded tops hang on clotheslines throughout the Labyrinth. Since as a girl the Witch was always looking out the window in class, the classrooms in her Labyrinth are minimalistic to an extreme, but judging from the indoor shoes that her Familiars wear, it is indeed indoors.
(委員長の魔女の手下 その役割はクラスメイト 足に履いたスケート靴で糸の上を優雅に滑走するが それぞれは魔女が糸で操ってるだけであり意思を持たない。 いつも下ばかり向いていた魔女にとってクラスメイト達は足だけあれば十分な存在。結果的に手下達の制服はブラウスが余ってしまうため結界内に干してある。 いつも外ばかり見ていた魔女の結界は教室というにはあまりにも殺風景すぎるが、手下たちが上履きを履いていることからも一応この結界は室内扱いらしい。)
Magia Exedra
Patricia and Mathieu appear in Magia Exedra. They appear in the Main Quest Chairperson Witch. Mathieu also appear in the event quest Steady Steps Forward: Magical Girls Dreams. There are new sections to Patricia's labyrinth: an area with a solid cloudy floor and telephone poles; a stormy area with a cloudy floor, tornadoes and lightning; and an area that resembles the first but with strings of school shirts hung up.

Suspicious adults are shredded And the transfer student is also chopped into pieces

Students who are still here, chop them up by the seat
All in the school, please be quiet If you have burnable trash, take it to the duty If it's for fertilizer, take it to the flower beds

Observations
- As shown in episode 10, she appeared in 2nd timeline, and was defeated by Mami, Madoka and Homura. But the cover of Blu-Ray Volume 5 shows all 5 magical girls fighting against her. It is suspected that she also appears in other timelines.
- This is confirmed in episode 14 of Magia Record, where she is shown being beaten by Madoka, Sayaka and Homura.
- Patricia is the feminine version of the name Patrick which comes form the word Patrician. In Ancient Rome, the class of Patricians is known as the high-class of Ancient Rome. This might refer to how her profile indicates that she was a class representative before becoming a Witch.
- Mathieu may be named after actor Mathieu-Émile Balanqué, who first portrayed Mephistopheles in the 1859 premier of the French opera Faust, loosely based on Goethe's own adaptation of the legend of Faust.
- Patricia and her labyrinth are changed in the Magia Record Anime compared to the original anime and media before it.
- The labyrinth now features more utility poles with mechanical objects and arms sticking out of them.
- Patricia's witch kiss is more detailed.
- Patricia is shown to be able to raise and lower herself with spider-like web. This same web can be used to entrap others.
- Patricia has a golden emblem of her witch kiss on her clothes.
- Due to her design of arms coming from her skirt and spider theming, it's possible she became a Witch due to sexual assault.
- With Her nature being onlooker and her type being seen as "Class Representative" Patricia could have witnessed a sexual assault but did nothing, acting as a bystander.
Trivia
- The Guidebook states that Patricia's labyrinth is the sky with the line, "It's raining again today. How long will I continue to be unlucky for?" （今日という日が雨だなんて私はどれほどついていないんだろう）. According with the description when the Witch dies it rains heavily and there is the sound like an aircraft crashing.
- In the TBS version of the anime broadcast, spider-like patterns are added to the underside of Patricia's skirt. This appearance has been a mainstay since Madoka Online.
- Mathieu are absent in the original manga adaptation but return in the 10th anniversary reprint manga.
- Patricia was the first witch to have an alternate form in Magia record.
