==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel. Pamela is a beautiful and chaste girl with low social status. She responds to her employer's various forms of ravishment with her chastity, and then, eventually wins the reward as joining the upper class by formally marrying her employer.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "millet" (粟) and "root" (根) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator is GAN, author/artist of [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]
* Her doppel may be a reference to the song of the same name by popular American band Toto. In the song, it talks about togetherness and being side by side with a loved one. This could link to the relationship Kokoro holds with her family and her friend Masara Kagami.
** Instead, it may be a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded|Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded]]'', the widely read 18th century novel, or its protagonist Pamela Andrews. As the title suggests, this novel is a story of a woman's patience and virtue over man's despotism and hedonism, and a given name [https://www.behindthename.com/names/view.php?name=pamela Pamela] became widely known by this novel.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who always tries to put on a happy face. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she's lived with her father ever since. Their relationship has become strained, leading her to become emotionally shutoff.

===Doppel Description===
The Doppel of restraint. Its form is a shell.
The master of this emotion knows it's simply a way for her to release her pent-up frustration. She views it with mixed feelings, as she understands there are drawbacks. This Doppel sprouts thorns to resist those who would harm it and attacks ferociously when it senses danger. On rare occasions, the agitated emotional state of its master may cause it to explode, and its shell – though stronger than metal – will break and release a surge of powerful magic.

===Side Story===
Kokoro fights familiars with [[Masara Kagami]]. Afterwards they move on to the witch and defeat it. When the girls reappear in reality, Masara says they have to leave before the place closes. Kokoro says there's still time and says they should enjoy the view. She offers to buy Masara drinks, and when Masara says she doesn't need one, says she'll choose for her. Kokoro narrates that her and Masara became partners after they met, it's more like a one sided relationship. Kokoro is still surprised to find they're fighting witches together, and admits she didn't have the best impression of Masara at first. She thinks back to when they first met.

The flashback begins shortly after Kokoro became a magical girl. In it, Kokoro enters a witch's barrier and finds the familiars have all been destroyed. She then sees Masara fighting a witch, and deduces she was the one who beat the familiars. She thinks Masara is strong, but as she fights the witch, Kokoro thinks that Masara acts like she's not afraid of dying. Masara then notices Kokoro, who says she didn't realize another magical girl had arrived. Kokoro says she will support her.

After the battle, Kokoro says that while she's nowhere near Masara's level, she still thinks Masara should protect herself more. Masara says she doesn't really care if she dies, which shocks Kokoro. Masara says that if Kokoro think she's strong, she should agree that Masara is correct. Masara claims that a human can become invincible if they have nothing to lose. She says her strength comes from being indifferent to death. As Kokoro splutters, she narrates that the person who leaves doesn't understand the feelings of those they leave behind.

Kokoro says that Masara's family would care if she dies. Masara says it's fine, explaining that she wished for money, and arranged things so that if she dies it will be transferred to her family. Masara also says it's easier if she dies inside a witch barrier, since to everyone else she'll just have gone missing. Kokoro says that's not what she's talking about and asks how her family would feel if she died. Masara thinks they'll be fine, claiming humans are strong creatures. Kokoro flashes back to her mother, who told Kokoro she's strong and will be fine even after she leaves. Kokoro thought she wasn't fine at all.

Kokoro explains to Masara that she wished for her broken family to be made whole again, and for her mother to come back home. Kokoro narrates that she thought fighting witches was just compensation for repairing her family, but her mother didn't feel the way she did. Kokoro thinks back to her past when her parents were together and narrates that when she was little she went hiking in the mountains with her family. She believes it to be the most fun memory she has with them. Afterward, they stopped going hiking.

In another flashback, Kokoro's father yells at her for not washing the dishes. Kokoro explains she has to do homework, prompting him to say that's too late. Kokoro replies she'll do the dishes if that's the case, but her father tells her to just be quiet and focus on her schoolwork. Kokoro narrates that her father kept getting upset after her mom left. She believed he didn't know what he was supposed to do, and was taking it out on her. Kokoro blames her mom for leaving. Later, Kokoro finishes ironing clothes, and her father apologizes for yelling earlier. Kokoro narrates that hiking became her hobby, but after her mom left she went hiking alone. Comparing her feelings to hiking, she thinks she won't complain about anything, and tells her father not to worry about it. She says she's completely fine.

Back with Masara, Kokoro says that it might not have been much to her, but for most people being a magical girl is a huge decision. She says she would go that far to protect her family, and admonishes Masara to not let her break so easily. Masara says Kokoro is talking about her family, not Masara's, and that Masara's family are the only ones who have the right to criticize her. Kokoro apologizes and admits she selfishly got mad. She says it's her problem. Masara asks why she's blaming herself for protecting her family. Kokoro says she couldn't.

Kokoro's wish was "I want my mom to come back", and that's precisely what happened. Kokoro narrates that she thought that would make everything go back to the way things were, but that's not the case. Her mother and father would argue at home over chores. Kokoro thought that if she knew that her happy family would disappear someday, she would wish she never have known it in the first place. However, since she knows what a happy family is like, she'll desire it always. Kokoro compares her desire to hiking up a mountain, and thinks hiking alone is painful. Because of this, Kokoro would mediate her family's arguments, telling them to leave it to her.

With Masara, Kokoro starts crying after explaining what happened. Masara asks why she blames herself. Kokoro says she wished for it to happen. Masara says that Kokoro did nothing wrong - she wished to put her family back together, and got exactly that. Masara claims what happens afterward is something Kokoro shouldn't feel responsible for. Kokoro thinks back to all her friends and relatives who told her it wasn't her fault, but she wasn't able to accept those words until Masara spoke them without any sort of pity. Masara then asks if Kokoro's ideal is to kill her feelings to protect her family. Kokoro says that's not it at all, and says she doesn't want her parents to have painful memories either. Masara then asks why she thinks it's okay to hold back.

Masara explains that if Kokoro's ideal family isn't built on someone's pain, then she shouldn't put that burden on herself. Masara tells Kokoro that she should live for her own sake, not another's. Masara says she's going to leave, but Kokoro asks if she can stay with her. Kokoro narrates that she was [[yuri undertones|attracted]] to the girl who explained things to her, for reasons she couldn't put into words. Masara says there's no benefit to Kokoro, but Kokoro says she just wants to be with Masara. Masara says she can do what she wishes.

Later, Kokoro's father complains the dishes aren't done. Kokoro says that her mother's at the neighborhood association meeting, and that it's not right to push all the chores on mom. Kokoro's father agrees and says he'll do the dishes. Kokoro says she'll help him out and make dinner. Kokoro thinks there's still quite a distance to the summit of her desires, but she won't ignore the pain anymore. Kokoro then welcomes her mother back with dinner. Kokoro's mother apologizes, but her father says he needs to do the cooking every so often.

Sometime later, Kokoro and Masara defeat another witch. Kokoro invites Masara to a cafe she heard about, but Masara says she's not hungry or thirsty. Kokoro says she doesn't need to be and they can just take a look. When Masara asks what they would do, Kokoro says they can talk. Masara says if Kokoro wants to talk they can just do it here. Kokoro thinks that's how Masara is, but even so she can't help but be interested. Kokoro thinks she might be selfish, but she is worried about Masara's safety.

Kokoro says they can go to the cafe the next time they finish hunting and if Masara is hungry or thirsty. Masara says she wouldn't mind. Kokoro thinks she can't just says she wants Masara to change because she's with her, but hopes Masara realizes it someday. As the girls say they'll see each other tomorrow, Kokoro hopes that Masara will see that there is a person who finds her important. Kokoro narrates that she won't ignore her heart, and that she's at "your" side for her own sake.

===Costume Stories===
====Outdoor Wear====
Kokoro has stopped by [[Himika Mao]]’s house to say hi. Himika invites her inside where her siblings swarm around Kokoro and ask if she’s brought them any cake. Himika scolds them as Kokoro smiles and says she brought them something else this time. Since she recently went on a themed hike about all the wild plants you can harvest from the mountain, she has a bunch of food left over. It’s too much for her 3-person family so she wanted to give it to Himika’s family if that’s ok with her. Himika appreciates the gesture and accepts the goods. She looks inside the bag to find more than enough food for several side dishes for their meals. Himika thanks her profusely before noting that Kokoro has been hiking a lot more than usual. Kokoro replies that, while she enjoyed hiking, she enjoys it much more now that she has a friend to go climbing with her. Mentally Kokoro thanks Masara for that.

====Swimsuit (2018)====
Kokoro doesn’t want to miss out on her summer vacation and is keen on making lots of memories with Masara. That’s when she got the idea of going to the beach since they’ve never been there together before, but she didn’t have a swimsuit to wear to the beach. So she asked Masara to go with her to pick one out. The two are at a shop at the mall where Kokoro finds all sorts of cute swimsuits to wear. However, she can’t choose one so she shows them to Masara and asks her which one she likes. Masara just stares at the swimsuit and says it doesn’t matter as long as it does what it needs to. Kokoro says that’s fine and all but she wants to know which one Masara likes more design wise. But Masara doesn’t really see the difference and says either one is fine as long as Kokoro likes it. Kokoro shrugs and decides to go for the yellow one. Masara points at all the straps on the swimsuit and asks what they purpose of them is. This causes Kokoro to break into laughter much to Masara’s confusion. She asks if it’s something she said but Kokoro apologizes for suddenly laughing. She explains that the straps are entirely decorative and serve no purpose other than to make the swimsuit seem like something out of the ordinary. Kokoro asks Masara to help her try on the swimsuit. Masara asks if that’s ok but Kokoro insists it’s fine.

After changing clothes, Kokoro models the swimsuit for Masara and asks what she thinks. Masara says it looks good and not just because it’s the one Kokoro chose. That’s part of it, but Masara understands now what Kokoro meant earlier: the swimsuit gives Kokoro a different atmosphere than usual. Kokoro smiles and decides to go with that swimsuit. Since Masara only has a plain swimsuit, Kokoro asks if she can’t pick one out for her. But no matter which one she chose Masara didn’t like it. Masara asks if there’s anything wrong with the swimsuit she already has but Kokoro is a little let down. Instead she tells Masara it’s fine so long as she’s happy with it. Kokoro is willing to give up on getting her a new swimsuit, but instead she insists that they get matching beach towels at least. When Masara looks at her questioningly, Kokoro explains that the beach can get very crowded so if they get separated it’ll be easier to find each other if their towels match. Masara stares at her for a moment before agreeing to go buy some matching towels with Masara. Kokoro inwardly jumps with joy as the two head to the towel section to choose.

====Winter Outfit====
Masara is waiting for Kokoro in downtown Kamihama. She doesn’t have to wait much longer before Kokoro finally arrives. Masara says it’s very unusual for Kokoro to be late to an appointment. Kokoro explains that she dropped her gloves on the way over and couldn’t find them no matter how much she looked. Masara offers to help her look but Kokoro says it’s ok since she can always knit another pair if they don’t turn up on the way back. Kokoro then begins to blow on her hands and mentions how cold it is today. [[Yuri undertones|Masara offers Kokoro her hand to hold]] so Kokoro accepts for a little. She moves closer to Masara and takes hold of her hand, surprised to find how warm she is. Warm enough that Kokoro asks if she isn’t running a fever. Masara shakes her head and says it’s because of the heating pack she has in her pocket. Masara offers it to Kokoro but she doesn’t want Masara to get cold because of her. Masara says it’s fine since she brought two of them with her. Kokoro takes her up on her offer and warms right up. Still, Kokoro kind of prefers gloves to hand warmers. Masara asks if gloves are really that great. Kokoro asks her if she didn’t wear gloves when she went skiing that time, but Masara replies that it was only because they were on a snowy mountain. Hand warmers are good enough for her, especially since she doesn’t own any gloves. Kokoro thinks for a moment then says it’s decided. She tells Masara they’re headed to a craft shop to buy yarn that’ll suit her so Kokoro can knit her some gloves of her own. Masara says she doesn’t have to go to the trouble, but Kokoro insists it’s something she wants to do for her. Masara smiles and says ok.

Kagari Hinata

{{spoilers}}
{{Infobox_character
|name=Kagari Hinata
|image=[[File:1446367856813 Kagari Hinata.png|300px]]
|jname=日向華々莉
}}
{{nihongo|'''Kagari Hinata'''|日向華々莉|Hinata Kagari}} is one of the main characters in ''[[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]''. She is the main antagonist and mastermind of the events of the story.

==General info==
===Physical features===
* '''Age:''' No younger than 13 (elder twin of Matsuri, 13)
* '''Eye colour:''' Red
* '''Hair colour:''' Dark purple

===Other===
* '''Soul gem:''' Tyrian purple or red gem in the center of a butterfly on her chest. The top of her soul gem, in its egg form, shows a butterfly.
* '''Weapon:''' Sword; chakrams
* '''Wish:''' ''"I want Suzune to experience the same suffering that Tsubaki did."''
* '''Japanese pronoun:''' {{nihongo|''Watashi''|私|}}
* '''Known relatives:''' [[Matsuri Hinata]], her younger twin sister; [[Tsubaki Mikoto]], her deceased nanny/surrogate mother; her father and her deceased mother.

==Personality==
Kagari is a girl with a playfully cruel nature, taking delight in teasing and tormenting her targets, to the point of sadism. She is also downright callous, showing no remorse when torturing or murdering people nor for any of the deaths she is indirectly responsible for, and shows no empathy for others. Kagari is a force to be reckoned with when she turns angry, often lashing out violently; she is also capable of holding extreme grudges, like the one she holds towards [[Suzune Amano]] for killing her caretaker, Tsubaki Mikoto, and will do ''anything'' she can to get revenge — even turning herself into a witch, if it means she can take out her targets.

In the past, Kagari is seen as more serious and easily irritated; this might come from having to take care of her sister, [[Matsuri Hinata]], who was blind at the time. In the present, Kagari appears to have a soft spot for her, choosing to knock her unconscious and carry her to her bedroom rather than kill her like she did with [[Arisa Narumi|Arisa]]; however, Kagari doesn't hesitate to try and kill Matsuri when she gets in the way of her goals.

==Story==
===Backstory===
Not much is known of Kagari's home-life. She had a sister, Matsuri Hinata, an unnamed father, and a caretaker named Tsubaki Mikoto. Not much is given on how Kagari relates to her family before the events of Suzune. In a flashback, her father relates that Kagari was an anxious child.

Kagari is the twin sister of Matsuri. Tsubaki often visited Kagari's home, taking care of her and Matsuri, and often told them stories. Tsubaki disappeared one day (due to becoming a witch), leaving the twins saddened, and Kagari also enraged. When approached by Kyubey after the disappearance of Tsubaki, Matsuri almost immediately wished to be able to see. The three began to search the town for Tsubaki, but failed to find her; however, they did find Suzune, after following the sound of the bell on the pendant that she was wearing - a pendant that originally belonged to Tsubaki. Kagari was confused by Suzune wearing Tsubaki's pendant, and apparently went home sometime after this discovery; Matsuri, however, followed Suzune to where she was hiding in despair near a house, and asked to become friends with her.

At some point after this, Kagari, now a magical girl, confronted Matsuri and erased her memories of Suzune as a part of her revenge gambit. Despite this, Suzune would later transfer into the same school and class that Matsuri attended.

As Matsuri makes no mentions nor allusions to Kagari during the story before volume 3, it can be inferred Kagari also erased herself from Matsuri's memory; the same can be said for memories of Tsubaki. It can also be inferred that Matsuri's father had his memories erased as well.

===Kagari during ''Suzune Magica''===
Kagari is not seen until the end of chapter 9 and her face is not fully revealed until the end of chapter 10 after she kills Arisa before Arisa is able to kill Suzune. Kagari laughs and snaps her fingers, showing Suzune her own past in a vision. After the truth of Kagari's memory-manipulation magic is revealed, Suzune yells at her to stop until she's in tears. Suzune then attacks at Kagari and a fight ensues. During the fight, Kagari messes with Suzune's mind, causing her to see Tsubaki being slashed rather than herself. Just as Kagari is about to kill Suzune, Matsuri appears and deflects the attack. The girls attack at Kagari but are unable to land any blows thanks to Kagari's manipulative magic. Kyubey appears and guides Matsuri into using her ability to track Kagari's true position and directs Suzune where to attack. Angered, Kagari turns her attacks on matsuri but is blasted away by her energy beam. Together they are able to defeat Kagari, but not before Kagari manipulates her own memories and causes herself to become a witch instantly.

Kagari's witch form attacks, Suzune attempting to block the familiars but there are too many and some make it past her. They consume the crying Matsuri and Suzune is devasted. She attacks the familiars once more using Tsubaki's fire magic and slashes the witch in half. The witch regenerates and Suzune realizes her true form is the book the witch stands on. She leaps to attack the book but is consumed by the witch as well. Inside, Suzune meets the witch's true form and destroys it with what remains of her power.

===Kagari during ''[[Magia Record]]''===
See [[Kagari Hinata in Magia Record]]

==Abilities==
Kagari's power is to alter peoples' memories and consciousnesses, as well as her own.

With this magic, she can create illusions. She uses this to change her appearance (as she used this to torment Suzune with an image of Tsubaki), turn invisible, and confuse others by using her magic to appear as someone else (as she confused Matsuri by covering Suzune with an illusion of herself).

She used her memory-altering ability to turn Suzune into a magical girl killer and erase Matsuri's memories of becoming friends with Suzune (though Matsuri's memories start to come back when Kyubey shows her a vision of Suzune's past involving Tsubaki). Kagari can also show other people visions; she uses this power to show Suzune her backstory, her wish and the reason why she became a magical girl, and the start of her revenge gambit.

Kagari also uses her mind-manipulation magic to greatly speed up her movements (being able to stab a high-speed Arisa, for example) and even turn herself into a witch by altering her own memories to speed up the despair process.

She can also knock someone unconscious temporarily, an ability she once used on Matsuri.

==Observations==
* Kagari has a definite butterfly motif: the back of her hairstyle vaguely resembles a butterfly, the surrounding decoration of her soul gem is a butterfly, her grief seed has butterflies on it, and the symbol that appears when Suzune briefly shows the magic she absorbed to Matsuri is a butterfly.
* Present Kagari is never seen outside of her magical girl form.
** She is never seen attending school, nor is she ever seen in a school uniform.
* The book familiars of Kagari's witch (one of which ate Matsuri) have covers that resemble the design of Tsubaki's magical girl outfit.
* The outfit of the outer body of Kagari's witch resembles younger Kagari's outfit. The body also seems to be coming out of a book resembling the picture book about a witch that Tsubaki was seen reading to the twins; the body also has long, trailing strands of hair, like the picture book witch's hair.
** The outer body also resembling a harlequin might refer to Kagari's trickster-like or insincere nature.
* Kagari is never referred to in the Japanese text by an honorific, only ever by her first or full name. This does not include Matsuri calling her "onee-chan", which means "big sister" and doesn't use Kagari's name.
* Kagari has a habit of elongating her words at the end of her sentences, and speaking with hearts (♥), especially when talking to Suzune.

===Butterfly symbolism===
Butterflies have [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly#Symbolism many symbolic meanings] in different cultures and lore.
* Butterflies are generally associated with transformation.
* Butterflies can also represent death and rebirth.
* In Japanese lore, butterflies are the personifications of souls; note that Kagari's soul gem is in the center of a butterfly's body, and over her chest as well.
** The ancient Greek word for butterfly means "soul" or "mind".
* Two butterflies flying together represents love.
* People in Devonshire would traditionally rush to kill the first butterfly they see in a year, or else face a year of bad luck.
* In the Philippines, a lingering black butterfly or moth in the house is taken to mean that someone in the family has died or will soon die.
* Kagari's butterfly motif might refer to the phenomenon known as the "butterfly effect", referring to how a small change in time leads to large consequences; Kagari in fact invokes the butterfly effect by altering Suzune's memories slightly and erasing Matsuri's of Suzune, changing their paths in life significantly and with disastrous consequences.

==Etymology==
* The first and third kanji for Kagari's name mean "flower"/"blossom"/"fabulous" (華) and "jasmine" (莉) respectively.
**In the Japanese language of flowers, jasmine represents kindness and gracefulness.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanakotoba</ref>
*The second (々) is a character indicating that the previous kanji and sound (sometimes voiced) should be repeated. This would make Kagari's name "華華莉".
** Kagari is one of only two characters with a "々" in her name, the other being [[Sasa Yuuki]].
* Kagari being named after a flower matches Matsuri and Tsubaki, who are also named after flowers.
* "Kagari" could also mean a cross-stitch (縢) or a basket made of bamboo (篝); more obscurely, it could be read as "deer hunter" (鹿狩) or "god hunter" (神狩).

==Trivia==
* According to tweets from GAN:
** Kagari was designed in the middle of the story.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563951034020536320</ref>
** Her name was taken from the "kagaribibana", or "cyclamen".<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563952063189487617</ref>
*** In the Japanese language of flowers, the kagaribibana can represent different things depending on the colour. Red kagaribibana represent jealousy (note that Kagari's eyes and soul gem are red-coloured, and her theme colour is purple, which is made from red) and pink kagaribibana represent shyness (note that Kagari's soul gem is also a shade of pink, and her theme colour, purple, is a colour similar to pink).<ref>http://hanakotoba.mimoza.jp/name-k/kagaribibana.html</ref>
** She is the only main character with only a katakana name in-story because GAN could not find an opportunity to put her kanji name in.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563664234563657728</ref>
* Kagari is the only major ''Suzune'' character without a character profile.

==Personality==
Matsuri is a very cheerful and optimistic girl, often thinking positively and trying to make friends with others; she also always attempts to talk things out with people rather than fight them, and often attempts to dissuade her friends from fighting with others; for example, stopping [[Arisa Narumi|Arisa]] from beating up people and attempting to stop her from challenging [[Suzune Amano|Suzune]] to a duel to the death.

Matsuri is also very forgiving, as seen with Suzune — who killed many magical girls to prevent the births of witches — and [[Kagari Hinata|Kagari]] — who crafted a revenge gambit to make Suzune's life miserable, and was indirectly responsible for the deaths of all the magical girls Suzune killed.

==Story==
===Backstory===
Not much is known of Matsuri's home-life. She had a sister, Kagari Hinata, an unnamed father, and a caretaker named Tsubaki Mikoto. Not much is given on how Matsuri relates to her family before the events of ''Suzune''.

Matsuri used to be blind. It is unknown if she was born blind or how she handled her blindness.

Tsubaki often visited Matsuri's home, taking care of her and Kagari, and often told them stories. Tsubaki disappeared one day (due to becoming a witch), leaving the twins saddened, and Kagari also enraged. When approached by Kyubey after the disappearance of Tsubaki, Matsuri almost immediately wished to be able to see. The three began to search the town for Tsubaki, but failed to find her; however, they did find Suzune, after following the sound of the bell on the pendant that she was wearing - a pendant that originally belonged to Tsubaki. Kagari was confused by Suzune wearing Tsubaki's pendant, and apparently went home sometime after this discovery; Matsuri, however, followed Suzune to where she was hiding in despair near a house, and asked to become friends with her.

At some point after this, Kagari, now a magical girl, confronted Matsuri and erased her memories of Suzune as a part of her revenge gambit. Despite this, Suzune would later transfer into the same school and class that Matsuri attended.

As Matsuri makes no mentions nor allusions to Kagari during the story before volume 3, it can be inferred Kagari also erased herself from Matsuri's memory; the same can be said for memories of Tsubaki. It can also be inferred that Matsuri's father had his memories erased as well.

===Matsuri during ''Suzune Magica''===
While on her way to school with Matsuri and Chisato, Arisa complains about how school is extremely boring. She'd much rather be outside doing something active than sit inside and be forced to study with Chisato lecturing her on the importance of school and how Arisa should be grateful that she's lucky enough to have this opportunity, and Matsuri excited to see her friends once again. They exchange brief greetings with Haruka Kanade, a senior on the school council performing a morning greeting exercise. Haruka explains that it's a way of making sure of everyone's attendance, and tells Arisa to be sure not to arrive late. The four then depart for classes, with Arisa and Chisato continuing onto maths class, and Matsuri to PE. On the way, however, the rabbit charm on Matsuri's bag breaks off and falls to the floor next to a girl's feet. The girl picks up the charm and gives it to Matsuri, who thanks her in return — revealing the girl's identity as Suzune. After school, the Hohzuki quartet meet up to discuss the Ripper rumors and the serial murders that started occurring in a neighboring city a month ago. While Arisa is dismissive of the rumors, they agree to be more careful as they patrol the city. After Chisato is murdered by Suzune in front of her, Arisa attempts to attack Suzune but is knocked out instead. Haruka distracts Suzune so Matsuri can rescue Arisa.

After Arisa's backstory is revealed, in which she wished for power due to always being bullied at school, Arisa attends Chisato's funeral where she argues with Haruka and Matsuri for having left Chisato behind despite her grievous injuries. Arisa yells at Haruka, which leaves Matsuri troubled. Suzune later goes home and finds Matsuri visiting her to pass along the homework that she missed. Suzune questions why Matsuri is still kind to her after killing Chisato; Matsuri then responds that she doesn't think Suzune enjoys killing people. Suzune tells Matsuri to go home, which Matsuri does, but not before saying that if Suzune tries to kill someone again, she will stop her with all her might. Suzune is then seen putting a paper with Chisato's name on it into her pouch, before taking it off and asking out loud to Tsubaki that "she's not wrong, right?"
As they search for Haruka, they encounter Suzune instead. Arisa and Matsuri attack Suzune as Haruka is unbeknowest to them engaged in a battle with a witch. Suzune escapes from the fight with Arisa and Matsuri and tracks down Haruka before Arisa and Matsuri are able to find either of them. Matsuri uses her ability to track down Haruka but not before she falls into despair and transforms into a witch. Suzune defeats the witch and explains how magical girls are fated to become witches. Arisa and Matsuri are shown Suzune's past in a vision by Kyubey. Afterwards, Arisa crushes Kyubey's head and takes off.

Arisa skips school in order to hang out at an arcade runs into Chisato's father on her way home, Arisa sits in her room and heavily regrets wasting her wish on power. The next day, Arisa begins beating up on random people at school claiming they were annoying her. Matsuri begs her to stop and tells her she's lying to herself in acting this way. Matsuri explains how she was once blind and how she doesn't regret her wish the way Arisa does. Arisa leaves to find Suzune and kill her. Late at night, Arisa manages to find Suzune and picks a fight with her. Suzune initially has the upper hand until Arisa uses her boost magic to its absolute limit, causing her body great harm in the process. Before she can deliver the final blow to Suzune, she is stabbed through the soul gem on her back by Kagari.

{{spoiler|Kagari laughs and snaps her fingers, showing Suzune her own past in a vision. After the truth of Kagari's memory-manipulation magic is revealed, Suzune yells at her to stop until she's in tears. Suzune then attacks at Kagari and a fight ensues. During the fight, Kagari messes with Suzune's mind, causing her to see Tsubaki being slashed rather than herself. Just as Kagari is about to kill Suzune, Matsuri appears and deflects the attack. The girls attack at Kagari but are unable to land any blows thanks to Kagari's manipulative magic. Kyubey appears and guides Matsuri into using her ability to track Kagari's true position and directs Suzune where to attack. Angered, Kagari turns her attacks on Matsuri but is blasted away by her energy beam. Together they are able to defeat Kagari, but not before Kagari manipulates her own memories and causes herself to become a witch instantly.}}

{{spoiler|Kagari's}} witch form attacks, Suzune attempting to block the familiars but there are too many and some make it past her. They consume the crying Matsuri and Suzune is devasted. She attacks the familiars once more using Tsubaki's fire magic and slashes the witch in half. The witch regenerates and Suzune realizes her true form is the book the witch stands on. She leaps to attack the book but is consumed by the witch as well. Inside, Suzune meets the witch's true form and destroys it with what remains of her power. With both Matsuri and Suzune at their limits, and only one grief seed left, Suzune uses it to save Matsuri and goes off on her own. {{spoiler|Matsuri awakens in her home and chases after Suzune. Suzune says to forget about her and threatens to use Kagari's magic to erase her memories of her, but Matsuri cries out she never wants to forget her friends or her. At her limit, Suzune thanks Matsuri for being her friend and crushes her own soul gem.}}
Matsuri is seen some time later with a slightly different hairstyle. She is still troubled by the events that have passed, but has resolved to keep her promise with Suzune to continue to live on.

===[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]===
''See [[Matsuri Hinata in Magia Record]]''.

==Abilities==
Matsuri's magic is light-elemental and sight-themed, stemming from her wish to see.

Her gauntlets can shine or shoot bright lights at her opponents; she also possesses the ability to search for others, though she states that this ability is best used as support in battle. Matsuri can use this ability to detect invisible people or see through illusions, as used in the battle with Kagari.

Matsuri also appears to have healing powers; the strength of this ability is unknown.

==Observations==
* Matsuri has a charm of a rabbit head named "Bunny-chan".
* She calls Kyubey "Kyu-chan".

==Etymology==
* Matsuri's first name is spelt with the kanji for "jasmine", a type of flower. "Matsuri" can also mean a festival or celebration.
** In the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanakotoba Japanese language of flowers], jasmine represents kindness and gracefulness.
* Matsuri's last name, Hinata, means "sunny place".

==Trivia==
* According to tweets from GAN:
** Matsuri has a telephone motif. Her hair buns are the handsets, her braids are the cord, and the round button on the stomach of her dress is the dial.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563694206703509505</ref>
** She has gauntlets as weapons because GAN wanted to put in the [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GF13-017NJ_Shining_Gundam "Shining Finger"] move from Gundam, but having it performed against humans would leave a pretty nasty impression (it's intended to crush the head of targets, after all), so they dropped the idea.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563696296767143937</ref>
** Matsuri is supposed to be the character the audience can either identify with or support/root for the most in volume 3.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563696475226374145</ref> This likely refers to how Suzune is anti-heroic and Kagari is the antagonist, with Matsuri being the most traditionally heroic of the three.
* Matsuri speaks in third person in the Japanese text, and is the only ''Suzune'' character to do so.

==Personality==
A girl who is a smiling, hard-working student at day, and a stoic magical girl hunter at night. She refuses to state her reasons for killing. Whenever she meets a magical girl, she asks for their name prior to killing them, and later puts writes their name on a paper and puts it in her pouch, a habit she picked up from Tsubaki.

She has a cold and callous nature and shows little remorse for killing others. Suzune is usually rather polite and respectful, even when about to kill somebody. Despite her statements that she's "doing the right thing", however, Suzune is still uncertain if she is or not.

==Story==
===Backstory===
Not much is known of her past home-life.

Suzune's parents were killed by a witch, which was defeated by magical girl [[Tsubaki Mikoto]], who adopted Suzune to look after her.
Tsubaki treated Suzune like her own daughter, and mentored her when she became a magical girl as well, leading to Suzune becoming Tsubaki's apprentice and the two defeating witches.
However, Tsubaki was constantly putting Suzune's health before her own and giving all the grief seeds to Suzune first, leading to her becoming a witch when the cumulative corruption became too much for her to handle. This left Suzune distraught and she became cold, distant and solitary as a result of Tsubaki's death.
After defeating Tsubaki's witch, Suzune then inherited Tsubaki's bell-and-pouch pendant and, after learning the truths of the magical girl system from [[Kyubey]], began hunting down magical girls to prevent the births of more witches, which lead to her becoming known as a magical girl murderer.

About a month before the events of Suzune Magica, Suzune left her hometown and moved to Hohzuki City, transferring to Akanegasaki Middle School and becoming a newspaper deliverer at Yunagi Newspaper, where she presently lives at.

===During ''Suzune Magica''===
One night during the start of the story, Suzune defeats a witch in an abandoned factory and meets the magical girl [[Kanami]], who had been fighting the same witch. Kanami approaches Suzune, admired by Suzune's skilled fighting and fire magic, and the two introduce themselves. After their introductions, however, Suzune kills Kanami in a surprise attack. Suzune later reads of the discovery of Kanami's corpse in a newspaper.

Later, during the night where the Hohzuki girls are on patrol investigating rumors of a "Ripper girl" killing teenage girls, Suzune finds [[Chisato]] and asks for her name. After Chisato refuses to answer her question, Suzune stabs her through the soul gem, killing her. [[Arisa]] investigates Chisato's disappearance and comes across her stabbed by Suzune. Arisa attempts to fight Suzune as revenge, but is easily overpowered. Suzune comes close to killing her, but is interrupted by [[Haruka]] and [[Matsuri]], who rescue Arisa and make a retreat.

Suzune continues to go to school afterwards. Haruka confronts Suzune during this time, interrogating her for the reasons why she kills. Suzune refuses to answer, brushing Haruka off and saying that "she's doing the right thing". Suzune then asks if Haruka has "ever hated someone so much that [she] wanted to kill them", and states that Haruka isn't qualified to face her if she can't answer that question.

Suzune later goes home and finds Matsuri visiting her to pass along the homework that she missed. Suzune questions why Matsuri is still kind to her after killing Chisato; Matsuri then responds that she doesn't think Suzune enjoys killing people. Suzune tells Matsuri to go home, which Matsuri does, but not before saying that if Suzune tries to kill someone again, she will stop her with all her might. Suzune is then seen putting a paper with Chisato's name on it into her pouch, before taking it off and asking out loud to Tsubaki that "she's not wrong, right?"

Suzune is later seen following Haruka after she walks out of class. Suzune follows her into an alley, but is interrupted by Arisa and Matsuri. They fight briefly before Suzune teleports away to where Haruka slumps after defeating the witch that was tormenting her; Suzune prepares to kill Haruka, but is interrupted again by Arisa and Matsuri. Arisa speaks to Haruka, trying to apologize, but Haruka rejects her apology and becomes a witch right in front of everyone. Suzune then defeats Haruka's witch while Arisa and Matsuri watch.

Suzune explains the magical girl system to Arisa and Matsuri after the battle and leaves just before Kyubey shows her past to Arisa and Matsuri in a vision. Later that night, after having a nightmare concerning Tsubaki, Suzune patrols the alleys for magical girls. Arisa confronts her in the alley and a fight ensues. Despite Suzune having the upperhand, Arisa continues to fight until she unleashes her boost magic to its full potential despite the damage it causes to her body. {{spoiler|Unable to keep up with her new levels of speed and strength, Suzune is defeated and would have been killed had Kagari not killed Arisa first. Kagari laughs and snaps her fingers, showing Suzune her own past in a vision. After the truth of Kagari's memory-manipulation magic is revealed, Suzune yells at her to stop until she's in tears. Suzune then attacks at Kagari and a fight ensues. During the fight, Kagari messes with Suzune's mind, causing her to see Tsubaki being slashed rather than herself. Just as Kagari is about to kill Suzune, Matsuri appears and deflects the attack. The girls attack at Kagari but are unable to land any blows thanks to Kagari's manipulative magic.

===Suzune in ''[[Magia Record]]''===
See [[Suzune Amano in Magia Record]]

==Powers==
Suzune's weapon is a large two-handed sword that has the ability to use the magic of others, that Suzune has outrightly absorbed depending on what setting - as indicated by the dots on the sword - is used, she may also summon a small knife in combat which may suggest she has the ability to summon other types of blades, although this has never actually be outright stated.

One of Suzune's powers is to absorb the powers of witches through her sword after she kills them, which could range from any type of magic.
This absorption power comes from how Suzune made a wish to "become a magical girl like Tsubaki"; Suzune also seems to be able to choose if she wants to absorb the powers or not.
If she absorbs powers, then the new powers will overwrite the ones she already has.

Suzune has maintained fire-elemental magic, which she absorbed from Tsubaki's witch.
Out of her fire-elemental powers, Suzune is seen using spells named "{{nihongo|flame dance|舞炎|Maien}}", a rain of many sword-shaped flames; "{{nihongo|cherry flame|桜火|Sakuraka}}", a torrent of powerful flames; and "{{nihongo|heat shimmer|陽炎|Kagerō}}", a teleporting spell. Kyubey mentions that Suzune has the ability to hide her presence.
Suzune can also create fakes of herself to fool opponents (which dissolve into flames when destroyed), and heal herself quickly.

Suzune absorbs [[Kagari]]'s memory-altering magic during the final chapter, but never uses it although she was going to use it on Matsuri to forget about her, but she refrains from doing so after.

==Observations==
* Her magical girl outfit heavily resembles the outfit that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Rock_Shooter Black Rock Shooter] wears. It is unknown if BRS's outfit was an inspiration for Suzune's outfit.
* Suzune appears to have a mole or birthmark under her left eye near the side of her head.
* Suzune, in the present, is only ever seen smiling when she is around other people.
* Her sword appears to have changed in the final volume, to a more curved look with a orange pommel instead of a light blue one, purple lines now run through the sword.

==Etymology==
* "{{lang|ja|天}}" means "heaven(s)" or "sky".
* "{{lang|ja|乃}}" is a kanji equivalent for the hiragana character "{{lang|ja|の}}", which is a particle indicating a possessive or sometimes an adjective.
* "{{lang|ja|鈴}}" means "bell".
* "{{lang|ja|音}}" means "sound".
* Thus, "{{lang|ja|天乃}}" means "heavenly", and "{{lang|ja|鈴音}}" means "bell sound". This makes Suzune's full name translate to "heavenly bell sound" when read in eastern order.

==Trivia==
* According to tweets from GAN:
** Suzune was initially intended to be 18 year-old.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563744819642507264</ref>
** She was also originally designed as the villain of the story, and she is the last of the five main magical girls to be designed.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563744819642507264</ref>
** Her colours are taken from fire: red for the flames, grey for the ash.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563744819642507264</ref>
