A witch who passionately endeavors to sort out that which has value from that which does not. She apparently stabs stakes into the valueless things, and hands flowers to the valuable things, but it’s extraordinarily rare for anything besides the witch herself to receive a flower. Her standards of arbitration are unclear. Her Labyrinth is filled with light in the colors of the things and people that have been crushed by her stakes.

Critic Witch. Nature: Authority.
A Witch devoted to separating the valuable from the worthless. It drives stakes into what it deems worthless and adorns the valuable with flowers, though flowers are rarely bestowed upon anyone but the Witch itself. The criteria for its critiques remains unknown. Its Labyrinth overflows with the colored light left behind by the things and people crushed by its stakes.

When something is deemed valueless by the witch, these jumping, flea-like minions will descend upon it en masse. These minions only do so because they desperately want to gnaw at their target with their large, pincer-shaped mouths, and have zero interest in any of the “value” nonsense that their witch talks about.

Trivia

  • The Witch's type, "Critic", was revealed in the game during the airing of the Episode 12 of the Anime by Doroinu's game profile.
    • The term "Critic" is also mentioned in Izabel's description, but it is unknown if these two Witches are related to each other, or the description simply telling her weakness by "bringing a critic".
  • She and her Familiar are named after the Golden Raspberry Awards, also known as "the Razzies" or "the Razzie Awards".
  • Her Witch's Kiss in the Magia Record Manga adaptation is rotated 90 degrees compared to the game version.
  • The Witch might be themed after trees, with branches sprouting out of her main shadow hand when she attacks.
    • While possibly not intentional, she shares some similarities with Elsa Maria. Both having a completely obscured and shadowy body, and has attacks or body parts linked to plants.
  • The white arms that holds the stakes are part of the Witch in Magia Record, according to her description, while in Magia Exedra, it is also part of the labyrinth.
  • Raspberry's labyrinth has two more floors in Magia Exedra, drastically different than the one seen in Magia Record.
    • The first floor is depicted as a colorful flower field (mostly consisting of violet flowers or Sumire in japanese) under a night sky, with stone statues that greatly resembles to Sumire Yoake, which represents Fuka's close friendship to Sumire, someone she swore to protect from Witches., while the depths of the labyrinth depicts a black and white dead forest turned into a desert filled with dry trees.
    • The second floor is similar, but the sky is cracked like glass, and Raspberry's white hands stabbing glitched colors with her stakes, which fits her description that her labyrinth is "filled with light in the colors of the things and people that have been crushed by her stakes". There is also a white rectangular hole that leads to the end of the barrier.
    • The third floor resembles closer to her deepest floor in Magia Record, being a monochromatic dead forest turned into a desert, with a small square window that leads to her deepest floor.
    • The center of her barrier is the same as the third floor, but instead of being monochromatic it has the colors reminiscent from a dusk sky.
    • Overall, her barrier resembles the phases from night to sunrise, alluding to Fuka and Sumire's surnames (Higure and Yoake) representing "dusk" and "dawn" respectively.
  • Real life raspberry fruits are of the rose family, which may link to Fuka having rose-based accessories.
    • The medals the witch bears seem to have the shape of white roses, the same flowers Fuka used to fight with. The triangular and rectangular shapes in the witch also seem to make the sillouette of a rose, making it seem as if the witch had a white rose in her palm.
  • Like Oshiti when she was implemented in Magia Record, the Witch in one of Touka Satomi's Lectures and in Mel Anna's Magical Girl Story both depicted Zenobia, which was later updated to be Raspberry shortly after she was implemented to the game.
