Summary
A Magical Girl with a strong sense of justice. As a kid, Sasara was obsessed with a knight in a picture book and swore to become someone who could save people too. Taking after her Rescue Squad father, she'd rather save a life than kill an enemy.
Doppel Description

The Doppel of honorable pride. Its form is a gorget. The master of this emotion is greatly pleased by her Doppel, believing it to be valiant and perfectly suited to her, but its gleaming silver body becomes frigid in winter and blazing hot in summer. The Doppel is just as proud as its master, standing tall and forthright in the face of any challenge. But because it holds all-but-pointless confidence in its strong, stalwart body, it often soldiers directly into the path of any attack that it may receive, and naturally suffers as a result. Its body also blesses its master as an impenetrable suit of armor, but since its master is equally prideful and often dashes forward to strike the finishing blow, the two of them can end up in a mutual struggle for control over it.

Costume Stories

Sasara and Asuka have defeated another Witch successfully. As the barrier dissipates and the two of them nullify their transformations, they congratulate each other on a job well done. Suddenly Sasara realizes how late it has gotten. She had wanted to go buy some new clothes and get everything ready for the plans she has tomorrow. Asuka says she can leave it to her but Sasara asks her if she even knows anything about fashion. Asuka calls her rude, although she admits it’s hard to convince her when all she ever sees her wear is her school uniform. Asuka promises to wow Sasara with her days of research.
The two head over to a fashion shop where Asuka diligently goes over every article of clothing in the shop. Sasara warns her the store is going to be closing soon but Asuka still hasn’t chosen between either pants or a skirt. Sasara can’t believe Asuka hasn’t even settled on that match and decides to just get the coat that she saw. This gives Asuka the inspiration she needed and she decides to put together an outfit centered around the coat that Sasara chose based on her budget. Sasara says okay so Asuka chooses a skirt to go with the slim coat to accentuate Sasara’s figure, then goes to find a good shirt to go with it. Sasara is impressed by Asuka’s knowledge as Asuka finishes coordinating an outfit.
Back home Sasara’s dad greets her as she walks through the door. Sasara explains she had gone shopping with a friend and asks her dad to wait while she tries the clothes on and models it for him. Her dad is really blown away by Sasara’s new look and asks if that’s what she’ll be wearing for their big plans tomorrow. Sasara sheepishly admits it is as her dad talks about how much he looks forward to spending the day with his daughter. Sasara also is looking forward to tomorrow.

Powers and Abilities
Sasara has the ability of drawing attacks towards herself as a form of purposefully agitating her enemies, this is useful for redirecting attacks towards injured or troubled allies to keep them out of harm's way however she risks becoming overwhelmed if she uses this power too much. As a result, she takes more of a defensive position in combat than a offensive one as her capabilities to protect people are often better than what she could do whilst attacking.
Sasara has been shown to be rather talented with her rapier sword, being able to fence with it quite well. It turns out she can also summon magical copies of this rapier and send them towards her enemies to impale them, though this seems to be an ability of many magical girls as they are able to duplicate their weapons numerous times within the limits of their own magic.
Etymology
- The characters of her last name mean "beauty" (美) and "calm" (凪) respectively.
Trivia
- Her Doppel's name is a combination of the fictional false knight Don Quixote and his horse Rocinante.
- Don Quixote is the alias adopted by Alonso Quijano after he falls into or faking madness caused by reading stories of valiant and chivalrous knights. His attempts at reenacting the quests and heroics of knights cause great trouble for himself and those around him. Ultimately, he falls into a deadly illness and recovers his sanity shortly before his death, renouncing his previous ways.
- Rocinante is Alonso's would-be steed, an old and awkward horse past his prime. His name is a complex pun:
- Rocín means "work horse" or "low-quality" horse.
- In Spanish, ante has several meanings and can function both as a standalone word and a suffix. One meaning is "before" or "previously", and another is "in front of"; as a suffix, -ante is adverbial, so "rocinante" refers to functioning as, or being, a rocín. Rocinante's name, then, signifies his change in status from the "old nag" of before to the "foremost" steed.
- The Papa New Year's Memoria refers to a "yakuman". This is a particularly high-value hand in mahjong that is extremely difficult to achieve, akin to a royal flush.

**Unique to Sasara Minagi** A girl who wants to be a knight unconsciously seeks admiration for herself. Even if you reject the plan as bad, you will only be led astray. A soul consumed by the tremendous rescue, she is a captain who is so proud that she's the only one who doesn't notice when everyone else keeps their distance. Returning to the basics is a way to discover the true value of service that connects the past with the future. | 騎士でありたい少女は 無意識に 己が賞賛を求めている
打算は悪と拒んでも 道に惑うだけ 途方もない救助に 消耗する魂 誰もに距離を置かれても 慢心する隊長だけは 気づかない 原点回帰は 過去と未来を繋く 奉仕の真価を見出す一手 |
