The needle Witch's Familiars, whose duty is to be charming. The Witch's handcrafted costume mascots that people can't help but love. They're so excessively adorable that it's impossible to point a blade at them.
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, along with her Kyubey Head; this could theme 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".
