Suleika

Suleika (SULEIKA) is a witch that hasn't so far made an appearance in an episode. Her familiar Ulla was swiftly defeated by Mami at the beginning of Episode 3. Ulla appears again in Madoka Magica Online, briefly in The Rebellion Story and Magia Record. Suleika made her first official appearance in Magia Exedra.

暗闇の魔女。その性質は妄想。闇が深ければ深いほどその力は増す。完全な暗闇の中においてはほぼ無敵だが灯りの多い現代においてはそれほど恐れる魔女ではない。

In total darkness she can scarcely be matched. She's almost unrivaled inside an absolute black; however, with lights as numerous as they are nowadays, she is not a witch to be feared.

The Rebellion Story

Ulla makes a brief reappearance in The Rebellion Story as Madoka's escort. They don a new design with a ribbon around their neck and a bell at the end of their tail

Manga

Ulla is seen much more briefly in the manga than they are in the anime. A quick shot of their labyrinth and death is shown in one panel.

In the Rebellion Manga, Ulla appear much more like their original design. They lack a collar and have what looks like a sapling shoot at the end of their tail. They appear fighting alongside the magical girls and once again in the new world.

モニャモニャ　ムィムィ　朝ですか？ 「だいじょうぶ」　「お日様は　まだ　凍った海の底の国」 モニャモニャ　ムィムィ 「だいじょうぶ」　「お日様は　今　ごはんの途中」 夜が溶けるその前に　お前の夢だけ　かじらせろ。 モニャモニャ　ムィムィ 「だいじょうぶ」　「お日様は　さっき　フォークでプスリ」 モニャモニャ　ムィムィ 「だいじょうぶ」　「お日様は　もう　お墓の下よ」 夜はそこらによだれを垂らし お前の夢らは皿のうえ。

Munya munya, mui mui... Is it morning yet? "Don't worry!" "Mister Sun's still in a land beneath the frozen sea." Munya munya, mui mui... "Don't worry!" "Mister Sun is in the middle of his lunch right now." Before the time comes for the night to melt away, let us munch and crunch on just your dreams alone. Munya munya, mui mui... "Don't worry!" "Mister Sun was 'pshunk'-ed with a fork just now." Munya munya, mui mui... "Don't worry!" "Mister Sun is sleeping underneath a grave by now." The night drools on over that-a-way, and your dreams all sit atop a plate.

Observations

• Suleika is a German form of the name Zuleika of arabian origin that means fair; brilliant and lovely. It was made popular in Germany by the poem collection West-östlicher Divan by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
• Ulla is a nordic name that means will, determination. In German-speaking countries, Ulla is a variant of the name Ursula of Latin origin that means little she-bear

Trivia

• The battle against Suleika in the anime was cut for the convenience of the scale of the episode, an instant fight against Ulla was used instead.
• Ulla in The Rebellion Story has a slightly altered design. She now has a ribbon collar and a bell on the end of her tail.
  • In Magia Record her original design is used, no longer having the collar or bell. The same design being used later in Magia Exedra but losing the scratched chalkboard tone.
• Despite her barrier and familiars being in Magia Record, Suleika did not made an appearance. This makes Ulla the only Minion in the Magia Record game to lack a master.
  • This was changed in Magia Exedra Where Suleika made her first official appearance after 14 years, and thus all Witches that were not revealed in the anime have defined appearances.
• Suleika obtained a new very altered design compared to her original design seen in the Madoka Magica Reference Book. The original designs depict her similar - if not identical - to her Familiar, with the same spiky head but with multiple arms, and is trapped in a jungle gym, with notes describing her as "stupid". Here are the changes of her appearance in Magia Exedra:
  • She is no longer "trapped" in a jungle gym.
  • She floats instead of being seen climbing
  • She no longer has hands, replaced with long tentacle like beings give the impression of a Jellyfish.
  • Her body looks similar to a Dragon fruit, or Starfruit.
