History
Games
Madoka Magica Portable
Quitterie makes her first and only appearance in Madoka Magica Portable. She doesn't make an appearance in the main game and only appears as a boss in the Oblivious Barrier on floor 49. Her Familiars can appear in any Mysterious Witch's Barrier. She wears a costume during her fight that resembles Kyubey and her Familiars resemble plush toys of Kyubey too. Her Barrier is a simple grassy field and she doesn't drop a Grief Seed.
Observations
- Quitterie's jacket has a galaxy-like design. Paired with her Kyubey Head, this could tie into the theme of Kyubey's goal of saving the universe.
- A humanoid silhouette appears in front of her while she charges up before certain attacks. This may be Quitterie's original Magical Girl form.
- Quitterie is a rare feminine French name, most likely derived from the Latin 'quietus,' meaning "quiet, calm."
- Some also link the name to the Greek 'Κύθηρα,' "Kythira," a Greek island which was consecrated to the ancient goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite.
- Saint Quiteria was a 5th century virgin martyr and saint. Nothing is certain about Quiteria except her name and her cult. Her name is a title that the Phoenicians gave to the goddess Astarte: Kythere, Kyteria, or Kuteria, which means "the red one," which some take to mean that she might be a fictional saint.
- When Quiteria was beheaded, her falling head hit the ground and a water fountain sprang up from the spot. Coincidentally, a bishop named Faust made a sermon that day with a reference to the miracle that converted the entire city area into Christianity.
- Her real form bears a resemblance to and may be based on the Pincushion Man from the 1935 animated short film Balloon Land.
Trivia
- Upon her death, the Witch will fall over backwards. The Kyubey head will fall off, and there is a glimpse of the Witch's real head.
- She is the same type of Witch as Latria, in that they're both "The Needle(s) Witch".
- For some reason, Quitterie's minion is labelled "(33/3)" below its name. Whether this is a bug or intentional is unknown.
- If the label is intentional, 33/3 could refer to Jeremiah 33:3 of the Bible: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.", which might be related to Quitterie's relationship with Kyubey.
- It may also be a visual gag based on the shape of Kyubey's mouth.
