&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;== Image galleries ==&lt;br /&gt;
I see a flaw in that organization: where do we put image macros, such as [[:File:Kyouko apples ep7.jpg|that apples-no-apple-apples-again macro]]? In the &amp;quot;screenshot&amp;quot; section?&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Also, we should add the case when images don&#039;t belong in any section ... --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 15:28, 7 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:That&#039;s hard to say, since they&#039;re neither &amp;quot;screenshots&amp;quot; nor &amp;quot;fanart.&amp;quot; I&#039;d either put them into &amp;quot;screenshots&amp;quot; or an additional &amp;quot;miscellaneous&amp;quot; section, which would take care of those images that don&#039;t belong in any section. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 16:00, 7 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I think we need an extra category for that kind of non-fanart analysis montages, for stuff such as that and [[Speculah:Grief Seeds|half the Grief Seed page]]. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 16:10, 7 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Yeah, that &amp;quot;Miscellaneous&amp;quot; section seems to solve both problems at once. Let&#039;s just hope it doesn&#039;t become as much of a clusterfuck as the galleries we have now... (by that I mean, let&#039;s hope people don&#039;t get lazy and put everything there) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 16:17, 7 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::I edited this page and the [[User:Momoism/Gallery_Template| gallery template]] to reflect the addition of the Miscellaneous category, and to provide some examples of what should go in there. Anyone using it as a dumping ground will be summarily keel-hauled. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 17:05, 7 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Note: as per [[User:MochaCoffee| MochaCoffee]]&#039;s suggestions, character galleries can be split into at least three categories: &amp;quot;Official Art,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Screenshots,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Fanart.&amp;quot; It would be possible to add an additional &amp;quot;concept art&amp;quot; section if we get a hold of good scans from that promotional book released before the 11th and 12th episodes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With additional feedback from [[User:Homerun-chan| Homerun-chan]] and [[User:BrickBreak| BrickBreak]], we&#039;re also going to include a &amp;quot;Miscellaneous&amp;quot; category for macros, analysis images, and other such things that don&#039;t quite fit into the original three categories.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How to Use==&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;gallery&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

File:Why Homerun-chan.jpg| This isn&#039;t fanart, but a relevant discussion from 4Chan.&lt;br /&gt;
File:Homura weapons.jpg| This is a compilation of Homura&#039;s weapons. Note again the use of official screenshots (with some fanart at the bottom, but that can slide).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Note|These guidelines are still work in progress. Feel free to discuss them in the talkpage.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before editing a page, please keep the following guidelines in mind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage of spoiler tags ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Template:spoiler|inline spoiler tag]] should only be used when spoilering one word or part of a sentence. It should only be used when no alternative would allow a spoiler alert to be displayed in a convenient way.&lt;br /&gt;
* For paragraphs or pages, use [[Template:Spoilers]] instead. This will display a boxed spoiler alert relative to the whole page/section&lt;br /&gt;
* Pages or section relative to a specific chapter/episode do not need an alert. If people read the page about Episode 12, they &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; figure out that the ending is likely to be revealed. Adding a warning in the introduction is acceptable though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Scanlations, fansubs and copyrighted material ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not provide links to episodes subs, manga scanlations and other borderline legal content. This is a wiki, not a rapidshare server.&lt;br /&gt;
* Uploading of official art, screenshots or specific scanlated pages is acceptable if they serve a specific purpose (illustrating an article, showing something, etc.). Obviously you won&#039;t start uploading a whole book just for the heck of it.&lt;br /&gt;
* When uploading a fanwork, please states its source (if available) as file description.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Page structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Image galleries ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The galleries should be split up into the following four categories when applicable: &amp;quot;Official Art,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Screenshots,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Fanart,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Miscellaneous.&amp;quot; When a page doesn&#039;t have any images that can fit into one of the galleries, that gallery will be omitted: for example, the [[Episode 12]] page will only have the &amp;quot;Screenshots&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Fanart&amp;quot; galleries, whereas the [[Madoka Kaname]] page may have all four. &lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Official Art&amp;quot; contains concept art, promotional images, Ume Aoki&#039;s doujinshi and illustrations, manga images, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Screenshots&amp;quot; includes screenshots. Please try to keep the screenshots as relevant as possible to the page.&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Fanart&amp;quot; contains illustrations, comics, and anything else that was generated by fans. Please identify your source &#039;&#039;prior&#039;&#039; to uploading; if you can&#039;t find out who made it, don&#039;t upload it!&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Miscellaneous&amp;quot; contains [[:File:Kyouko apples ep7.jpg|macros]], [[:File:Grief_Seed_from_episode_10.PNG|analysis images]], and other visuals that don&#039;t fit into the above categories. These tend to contain official screenshots and illustrate certain observations or theories. &#039;&#039;Do not abuse this category!&#039;&#039; First think carefully about which of the three categories above your image may fall into, and always remember to keep it relevant.&lt;br /&gt;
* Do not forget that this wiki also provides an [[Fanworks#Image_Pack|image pack]]. If you found a great image, but it doesn&#039;t really belong on the page (i.e. it&#039;s not clearly related to any page), don&#039;t hesitate to append it to the image pack instead.&lt;br /&gt;
** Speaking of which, the relevant part of the image pack (if any) should also be linked from the &amp;quot;galleries&amp;quot; sections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Character pages ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Character pages may be adapted depending on the needs, but should somehow respect the following layout:&lt;br /&gt;
** Personality&lt;br /&gt;
** History (or &amp;quot;Backstory&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
** Power, weapons and abilities&lt;br /&gt;
** Trivia&lt;br /&gt;
** Speculation&lt;br /&gt;
** Galleries&lt;br /&gt;
* When setting up a gallery, do not forget to observe the guidelines above&lt;br /&gt;
* Do not forget to properly tag the speculations (see below)&lt;br /&gt;
* Do not forget that character pages have a talkpage, so discussion shouldn&#039;t occur on the page itself&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Episode pages ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The usual layout is:&lt;br /&gt;
** Summary&lt;br /&gt;
** Runes&lt;br /&gt;
** Observations&lt;br /&gt;
** Speculation&lt;br /&gt;
** Images&lt;br /&gt;
** See also/external links&lt;br /&gt;
* You may add additional section/subsections, but try to keep the general structure clear&lt;br /&gt;
* Do not forget to split the image galleries as explained above&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;speculation&amp;quot; section should only be used to explain theories, their variation(s), and what makes them right/wrong. Please do not use this section as a talkpage.&lt;br /&gt;
** Also, please tag the theories properly: a &amp;quot;confirmed&amp;quot; theory must have at least one element from the franchise that goes in the same direction; a &amp;quot;debunked&amp;quot; theory must have at least one contradiction with canon; all other theories are &amp;quot;unknown&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

|name=Madoka Kaname&lt;br /&gt;
|image=&amp;lt;center&amp;gt;[[File:Madoka Chara Sheet.jpg|300 px]]&amp;lt;/center&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|jname=鹿目 まどか (Kaname Madoka)&lt;br /&gt;
|seiyuu=[http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=creator&amp;amp;creatorid=1625 Aoi Yuuki]&lt;br /&gt;
|age=14 &amp;lt;!-- via CM --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|weapon=Rose Branch Bow&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{Nihongo|&#039;&#039;&#039;Madoka Kaname&#039;&#039;&#039;|鹿目 まどか|Kaname Madoka}} is the main character of the anime series, described as &amp;quot;an average eighth-grader -- the kind you could find anywhere.&amp;quot; She lives a comfortable life with her [[Junko Kaname|mother]], [[Tomohisa Kaname|father]], and [[Tatsuya Kaname|little brother]], and attends [[Mitakihara Middle School]] with her friends [[Sayaka Miki]] and [[Hitomi Shizuki]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The series revolves around Madoka&#039;s decision to become a magical girl, and the wish she shall make.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka_hands.jpg|thumb|320px|A girl with a bright future.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka is overall a kind, well-behaved, and outgoing girl who deeply wants to help others; as her official description on the series&#039; website states, &amp;quot;even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness.&amp;quot; Perhaps because of this desire, she is also plagued by self-doubt: she feels that she doesn&#039;t excel at anything in particular, and thus won&#039;t achieve anything of worth in her life. Madoka noticeably can&#039;t stand anything &amp;quot;scary,&amp;quot; including things like ghosts and roller coasters, but will still rise to the occasion and defend anyone in danger if she can, suggesting that she&#039;s more capable than she thinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka values her friends and family very much, and has a particularly close (even informal) relationship with her mother Junko, whom she admires and wants to emulate. Interestingly, she&#039;s very responsible in caring not only for her four-year-old brother, but for her mother as well: she makes sure that Junko wakes up in time for work, and helps her father Tomohisa put Junko to bed whenever she comes home drunk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In school, Madoka&#039;s interests appear to veer toward the arts: she enjoys sketching, and is a member of both the Gardening and Crafts clubs. She doesn&#039;t perform as well in the natural sciences and Phys. Ed. (she can barely swim and is quite clumsy), but tries to be a good student nonetheless; she never &amp;quot;borrows&amp;quot; her friends&#039; notes without permission, and always arrives at school on time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Browsing a music store with Sayaka one day, Madoka hears a strange voice in her head calling for help, and seeks it out. The voice turns out to belong to [[Kyubey]], an alien seeking to grant the wishes of young girls and transform them into Puella Magi, &amp;quot;magical girls&amp;quot; who combat beings known as Witches. After meeting [[Mami Tomoe]], an upperclassman at Mitakihara Middle School and a veteran Puella Magi, Madoka begins to consider contracting herself, but is stopped by the mysterious [[Homura Akemi]], a transfer student to her class. Homura appears to be dedicated to preventing Madoka from becoming a Puella Magi, while Kyubey is equally dedicated to contracting with her: for reasons unknown, she has the potential to become the most powerful magical girl that has ever lived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Powers, Weapons &amp;amp; Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka-firing.jpg|thumb|320px|Madoka firing one of her magical arrows.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka&#039;s main weapon is a bow shaped like a rose branch; the rose at its tip &amp;quot;blooms&amp;quot; whenever she fires an arrow. She can fire multiple arrows at once, and the arrows are capable of homing in on enemies, making her a powerful and versatile Puella Magi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While she initially does not seem to be any more powerful than Mami or Sayaka, Madoka&#039;s power seems to increase exponentially within each timeline. In the first timeline she was merely an ordinary magical girl; in the last timeline, she already had enough power to defeat Walpurgis with one shot, then in her witch form was capable of destroying the entire Earth. She also satisfied all of Kyubey&#039;s energy quotas for the entire planet. In the current timeline Kyubey claims that Madoka&#039;s power could be called godlike. She is said to be capable of even changing the laws of the universe if she wished for it. &lt;br /&gt;
*{{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 11, due to a Puella Magi&#039;s power being linked to the level of causality they would effect on their world (e.g. a queen whose actions could decide the fate of a nation would make a more powerful Puella Magi than a common schoolgirl whose area of effect is considerably smaller). Homura&#039;s resets link multiple parallel universes together with Madoka&#039;s fate as their center, augmenting the amount of effect she would have on them. Also, with every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centered around Madoka, thus further adding to her potential power.}}&lt;br /&gt;
*{{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 12, Madoka&#039;s magic is powerful enough to create a parallel universe; this is destroyed by her witch transformation at the end of time.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ume Aoki]]&#039;s design notes for Madoka are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
** I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple. &lt;br /&gt;
** On her magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first character of her last name (鹿) means &amp;quot;deer&amp;quot;. The last character (目) means &amp;quot;eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name can also be used as a first name.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name sounds the same as (要), which means &amp;quot;keystone&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot;. {{Spoiler|In the eleventh episode of the anime, Kyubey reveals that Madoka&#039;s great magic power has developed due to her becoming the &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot; of multiple universes, all of which were created due to Homura&#039;s wish to save her.}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean &amp;quot;round&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;tranquil&amp;quot; (円).&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to Kyubey in her room. &lt;br /&gt;
==Speculation==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Spoilers}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:...|thumb|...]]&lt;br /&gt;
*Madoka and [[Mami]] are the only Puellae Magi known who are never seen having a mark on any of their fingernails (see a picture below). [[Homura]], [[Kyouko]] and [[Sayaka]] all have marks on their left middle fingers, matching the shape of the emblem of their respective Soul Gem. The meaning of that is unknown, speculations range from a production error to a connection to their wishes.&lt;br /&gt;
**Madoka is also never seen with her Soul Gem in a ring form.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Note|These guidelines are still work in progress. Feel free to discuss them in the talkpage.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before editing a page, please keep the following guidelines in mind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage of spoiler tags ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Template:spoiler|inline spoiler tag]] should only be used when spoilering one word or part of a sentence. It should only be used when no alternative would allow a spoiler alert to be displayed in a convenient way.&lt;br /&gt;
* For paragraphs or pages, use [[Template:Spoilers]] instead. This will display a boxed spoiler alert relative to the whole page/section&lt;br /&gt;
* Pages or section relative to a specific chapter/episode do not need an alert. If people read the page about Episode 12, they &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; figure out that the ending is likely to be revealed. Adding a warning in the introduction is acceptable though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Scanlations, fansubs and copyrighted material ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not provide links to episodes subs, manga scanlations and other borderline legal content. This is a wiki, not a rapidshare server.&lt;br /&gt;
* Uploading of official art, screenshots or specific scanlated pages is acceptable if they serve a specific purpose (illustrating an article, showing something, etc.). Obviously you won&#039;t start uploading a whole book just for the heck of it.&lt;br /&gt;
* When uploading a fanwork, please states its source (if available) as file description.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Page structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Image galleries ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The galleries should be split up into the following three categories when applicable: &amp;quot;Official Art,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Screenshots,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Fanart.&amp;quot; When a page doesn&#039;t have any images that can fit into one of the galleries, that gallery will be omitted: for example, the [[Episode 12]] page will only have the &amp;quot;Screenshots&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Fanart&amp;quot; galleries, whereas the [[Madoka Kaname]] page will have all three. &lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Official Art&amp;quot; contains concept art, promotional images, Ume Aoki&#039;s doujinshi and illustrations, manga images, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Screenshots&amp;quot; includes screenshots. Please try to keep the screenshots as relevant as possible to the page.&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Fanart&amp;quot; contains illustrations, comics, and anything else that was generated by fans. Please identify your source &#039;&#039;prior&#039;&#039; to uploading; if you can&#039;t find out who made it, don&#039;t upload it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Character pages ===&lt;br /&gt;
* [TODO: someone please summarizes what we discussed in Kazumi&#039;s talkpage about the character pages organization]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Episode pages ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The usual layout is:&lt;br /&gt;
** Summary&lt;br /&gt;
** Runes&lt;br /&gt;
** Observations&lt;br /&gt;
** Speculation&lt;br /&gt;
** Images&lt;br /&gt;
** See also/external links&lt;br /&gt;
* You may add additional section/subsections, but try to keep the general structure clear&lt;br /&gt;
* Do not forget to split the image galleries as explained above&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;speculation&amp;quot; section should only be used to explain theories, their variation(s), and what makes them right/wrong. Please do not use this section as a talkpage.&lt;br /&gt;
** Also, please tag the theories properly: a &amp;quot;confirmed&amp;quot; theory must have at least one element from the franchise that goes in the same direction; a &amp;quot;debunked&amp;quot; theory must have at least one contradiction with canon; all other theories are &amp;quot;unknown&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Momoism: /* Image galleries */  Added the guidelines that we discussed on the Talk:Characters page.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;{{Note|These guidelines are still work in progress. Feel free to discuss them in the talkpage.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before editing a page, please keep the following guidelines in mind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Usage of spoiler tags ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The [[Template:spoiler|inline spoiler tag]] should only be used when spoilering one word or part of a sentence. It should only be used when no alternative would allow a spoiler alert to be displayed in a convenient way.&lt;br /&gt;
* For paragraphs or pages, use [[Template:Spoilers]] instead. This will display a boxed spoiler alert relative to the whole page/section&lt;br /&gt;
* Pages or section relative to a specific chapter/episode do not need an alert. If people read the page about Episode 12, they &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; figure out that the ending is likely to be revealed. Adding a warning in the introduction is acceptable though.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Scanlations, fansubs and copyrighted material ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Please do not provide links to episodes subs, manga scanlations and other borderline legal content. This is a wiki, not a rapidshare server.&lt;br /&gt;
* Uploading of official art, screenshots or specific scanlated pages is acceptable if they serve a specific purpose (illustrating an article, showing something, etc.). Obviously you won&#039;t start uploading a whole book just for the heck of it.&lt;br /&gt;
* When uploading a fanwork, please states its source (if available) as file description.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Page structure ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Image galleries ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The galleries should be split up into the following four categories when applicable: &amp;quot;Official Art,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Screenshots,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Fanart.&amp;quot; When a page doesn&#039;t have any images that can fit into one of the galleries, that gallery will be omitted: for example, the [[Episode 12]] page will only have the &amp;quot;Screenshots&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Fanart&amp;quot; galleries, whereas the [[Madoka Kaname]] page will have all four. &lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Official Art&amp;quot; contains concept art, promotional images, Ume Aoki&#039;s doujinshi and illustrations, manga images, and so on.&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Screenshots&amp;quot; includes screenshots. Please try to keep the screenshots as relevant as possible to the page.&lt;br /&gt;
** &amp;quot;Fanart&amp;quot; contains illustrations, comics, and anything else that was generated by fans. Please identify your source &#039;&#039;prior&#039;&#039; to uploading; if you can&#039;t find out who made it, don&#039;t upload it!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Character pages ===&lt;br /&gt;
* [TODO: someone please summarizes what we discussed in Kazumi&#039;s talkpage about the character pages organization]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Episode pages ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The usual layout is:&lt;br /&gt;
** Summary&lt;br /&gt;
** Runes&lt;br /&gt;
** Observations&lt;br /&gt;
** Speculation&lt;br /&gt;
** Images&lt;br /&gt;
** See also/external links&lt;br /&gt;
* You may add additional section/subsections, but try to keep the general structure clear&lt;br /&gt;
* Do not forget to split the image galleries as explained above&lt;br /&gt;
* The &amp;quot;speculation&amp;quot; section should only be used to explain theories, their variation(s), and what makes them right/wrong. Please do not use this section as a talkpage.&lt;br /&gt;
** Also, please tag the theories properly: a &amp;quot;confirmed&amp;quot; theory must have at least one element from the franchise that goes in the same direction; a &amp;quot;debunked&amp;quot; theory must have at least one contradiction with canon; all other theories are &amp;quot;unknown&amp;quot;.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

|weapon=Rose Branch Bow&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The main character of the anime series &#039;&#039;Puella Magi Madoka Magica&#039;&#039;, described as &amp;quot;an average eighth-grader -- the kind you could find anywhere.&amp;quot; She lives a comfortable life with her [[Junko Kaname|mother]], [[Tomohisa Kaname|father]], and [[Tatsuya Kaname|little brother]], and attends [[Mitakihara Middle School]] with her friends [[Sayaka Miki]] and [[Hitomi Shizuki]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Browsing a music store with Sayaka one day, Madoka hears a strange voice in her head calling for help, and seeks it out. The voice turns out to belong to [[Kyubey]], an alien seeking to grant the wishes of young girls and transform them into Puella Magi, &amp;quot;magical girls&amp;quot; who combat beings known as Witches. After meeting [[Mami Tomoe]], an upperclassman at Mitakihara Middle School and a veteran Puella Magi, Madoka begins to consider contracting herself, but is stopped by the mysterious [[Homura Akemi]], a transfer student to her class. Homura appears to be dedicated to preventing Madoka from becoming a Puella Magi, while Kyubey is equally dedicated to contracting with her: for reasons unknown, she has the potential to become the most powerful magical girl that has ever lived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The series revolves around Madoka&#039;s decision to become a magical girl, and the wish she shall make.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka_hands.jpg|thumb|320px|A girl with a bright future.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka is overall a kind, well-behaved, and outgoing girl who deeply wants to help others; as her official description on the series&#039; website states, &amp;quot;even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness.&amp;quot; Perhaps because of this desire, she is also plagued by self-doubt: she feels that she doesn&#039;t excel at anything in particular, and thus won&#039;t achieve anything of worth in her life. Madoka noticeably can&#039;t stand anything &amp;quot;scary,&amp;quot; including things like ghosts and roller coasters, but will still rise to the occasion and defend anyone in danger if she can, suggesting that she&#039;s more capable than she thinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka values her friends and family very much, and has a particularly close (even informal) relationship with her mother Junko, whom she admires and wants to emulate. Interestingly, she&#039;s very responsible in caring not only for her four-year-old brother, but for her mother as well: she makes sure that Junko wakes up in time for work, and helps her father Tomohisa put Junko to bed whenever she comes home drunk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In school, Madoka&#039;s interests appear to veer toward the arts: she enjoys sketching, and is a member of both the Gardening and Crafts clubs. She doesn&#039;t perform as well in the natural sciences and Phys. Ed. (she can barely swim and is quite clumsy), but tries to be a good student nonetheless; she never &amp;quot;borrows&amp;quot; her friends&#039; notes without permission, and always arrives at school on time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Powers, Weapons &amp;amp; Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka-firing.jpg|thumb|320px|Madoka firing one of her magical arrows.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka&#039;s main weapon is a bow shaped like a rose branch; the rose at its tip &amp;quot;blooms&amp;quot; whenever she fires an arrow. She can fire multiple arrows at once, and the arrows are capable of homing in on enemies, making her a powerful and versatile Puella Magi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While she initially does not seem to be any more powerful than Mami or Sayaka, Madoka&#039;s power seems to increase exponentially within each timeline. In the first timeline she was merely an ordinary magical girl; in the last timeline, she already had enough power to defeat Walpurgis with one shot, then in her witch form was capable of destroying the entire Earth. She also satisfied all of Kyubey&#039;s energy quotas for the entire planet. In the current timeline Kyubey claims that Madoka&#039;s power could be called godlike. She is said to be capable of even changing the laws of the universe if she wished for it. &lt;br /&gt;
*{{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 11, due to a Puella Magi&#039;s power being linked to the level of causality they would effect on their world (e.g. a queen whose actions could decide the fate of a nation would make a more powerful Puella Magi than a common schoolgirl whose area of effect is considerably smaller). Homura&#039;s resets link multiple parallel universes together with Madoka&#039;s fate as their center, augmenting the amount of effect she would have on them. Also, with every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centered around Madoka, thus further adding to her potential power.}}&lt;br /&gt;
*{{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 12, Madoka&#039;s magic is powerful enough to create a parallel universe; this is destroyed by her witch transformation at the end of time.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ume Aoki]]&#039;s design notes for Madoka are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
** I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple. &lt;br /&gt;
** On her magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first character of her last name (鹿) means &amp;quot;deer&amp;quot;. The last character (目) means &amp;quot;eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name can also be used as a first name.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name sounds the same as (要), which means &amp;quot;keystone&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot;. {{Spoiler|In the eleventh episode of the anime, Kyubey reveals that Madoka&#039;s great magic power has developed due to her becoming the &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot; of multiple universes, all of which were created due to Homura&#039;s wish to save her.}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean &amp;quot;round&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;tranquil&amp;quot; (円).&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to Kyubey in her room. &lt;br /&gt;
==Speculation==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:...|thumb|...]]&lt;br /&gt;
Warning: this section contains spoilers for the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Madoka and [[Mami]] are the only Puellae Magi known who are never seen having a mark on any of their fingernails (see a picture below). [[Homura]], [[Kyouko]] and [[Sayaka]] all have marks on their left middle fingers, matching the shape of the emblem of their respective Soul Gem. The meaning of that is unknown, speculations range from a production error to a connection to their wishes.&lt;br /&gt;
**Madoka is also never seen with her Soul Gem in a ring form.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The main character of the anime series &#039;&#039;Puella Magi Madoka Magica&#039;&#039;, described as &amp;quot;an average eighth-grader -- the kind you could find anywhere.&amp;quot; She lives a comfortable life with her [[Junko Kaname|mother]], [[Tomohisa Kaname|father]], and [[Tatsuya Kaname|little brother]], and attends [[Mitakihara Middle School]] with her friend [[Sayaka Miki]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Browsing a music store with Sayaka one day, Madoka hears a strange voice in her head calling for help, and seeks it out. The voice turns out to belong to [[Kyubey]], an alien seeking to grant the wishes of young girls and transform them into Puella Magi, &amp;quot;magical girls&amp;quot; who combat beings known as Witches. After meeting [[Mami Tomoe]], an upperclassman at Mitakihara Middle School and a veteran Puella Magi, Madoka begins to consider contracting herself, but is stopped by the mysterious [[Homura Akemi]], a transfer student to her class. Homura appears to be dedicated to preventing Madoka from becoming a Puella Magi, while Kyubey is equally dedicated to contracting with her: for reasons unknown, she has the potential to become the most powerful magical girl that has ever lived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The series revolves around Madoka&#039;s decision to become a magical girl, and the wish she shall make.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka_hands.jpg|thumb|320px|A girl with a bright future.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka is overall a kind, well-behaved, and outgoing girl who deeply wants to help others; as her official description on the series&#039; website states, &amp;quot;even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness.&amp;quot; Perhaps because of this desire, she is also plagued by self-doubt: she feels that she doesn&#039;t excel at anything in particular, and thus won&#039;t achieve anything of worth in her life. Madoka noticeably can&#039;t stand anything &amp;quot;scary,&amp;quot; including things like ghosts and roller coasters, but will still rise to the occasion and defend anyone in danger if she can, suggesting that she&#039;s more capable than she thinks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka values her friends and family very much, and has a particularly close (even informal) relationship with her mother Junko, whom she admires and wants to emulate. Interestingly, she&#039;s very responsible in caring not only for her four-year-old brother, but for her mother as well: she makes sure that Junko wakes up in time for work, and helps her father Tomohisa put Junko to bed whenever she comes home drunk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In school, Madoka&#039;s interests appear to veer toward the arts: she enjoys sketching, and is a member of both the Gardening and Crafts clubs. She doesn&#039;t perform as well in the natural sciences and Phys. Ed. (she can barely swim and is quite clumsy), but tries to be a good student nonetheless; she never &amp;quot;borrows&amp;quot; her friends&#039; notes without permission, and always arrives at school on time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Powers, Weapons &amp;amp; Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka-firing.jpg|thumb|320px|Madoka firing one of her magical arrows.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka&#039;s main weapon is a bow shaped like a rose branch; the rose at its tip &amp;quot;blooms&amp;quot; whenever she fires an arrow. She can fire multiple arrows at once, and the arrows are capable of homing in on enemies, making her a powerful and versatile Puella Magi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While she initially does not seem to be any more powerful than Mami or Sayaka, Madoka&#039;s power seems to increase exponentially within each timeline. In the first timeline she was merely an ordinary magical girl; in the last timeline, she already had enough power to defeat Walpurgis with one shot, then in her witch form was capable of destroying the entire Earth. She also satisfied all of Kyubey&#039;s energy quotas for the entire planet. In the current timeline Kyubey claims that Madoka&#039;s power could be called godlike. She is said to be capable of even changing the laws of the universe if she wished for it. &lt;br /&gt;
*{{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 11, due to a Puella Magi&#039;s power being linked to the level of causality they would effect on their world (e.g. a queen whose actions could decide the fate of a nation would make a more powerful Puella Magi than a common schoolgirl whose area of effect is considerably smaller). Homura&#039;s resets link multiple parallel universes together with Madoka&#039;s fate as their center, augmenting the amount of effect she would have on them. Also, with every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centered around Madoka, thus further adding to her potential power.}}&lt;br /&gt;
*{{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 12, Madoka&#039;s magic is powerful enough to create a parallel universe; this is destroyed by her witch transformation at the end of time.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ume Aoki]]&#039;s design notes for Madoka are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
** I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple. &lt;br /&gt;
** On her magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first character of her last name (鹿) means &amp;quot;deer&amp;quot;. The last character (目) means &amp;quot;eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name can also be used as a first name.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name sounds the same as (要), which means &amp;quot;keystone&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot;. {{Spoiler|In the eleventh episode of the anime, Kyubey reveals that Madoka&#039;s great magic power has developed due to her becoming the &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot; of multiple universes, all of which were created due to Homura&#039;s wish to save her.}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean &amp;quot;round&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;tranquil&amp;quot; (円).&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to Kyubey in her room. &lt;br /&gt;
==Speculation==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:...|thumb|...]]&lt;br /&gt;
Warning: this section contains spoilers for the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Madoka and [[Mami]] are the only Puellae Magi known who are never seen having a mark on any of their fingernails (see a picture below). [[Homura]], [[Kyouko]] and [[Sayaka]] all have marks on their left middle fingers, matching the shape of the emblem of their respective Soul Gem. The meaning of that is unknown, speculations range from a production error to a connection to their wishes.&lt;br /&gt;
**Madoka is also never seen with her Soul Gem in a ring form.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The main character of the anime series &#039;&#039;Puella Magi Madoka Magica&#039;&#039;, described as &amp;quot;an average eighth-grader -- the kind you could find anywhere.&amp;quot; She lives a comfortable life with her [[Junko Kaname|mother]], [[Tomohisa Kaname|father]], and [[Tatsuya Kaname|little brother]], and attends [[Mitakihara Middle School]] with her friend [[Sayaka Miki]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Browsing a music store with Sayaka one day, Madoka hears a strange voice in her head calling for help, and seeks it out. The voice turns out to belong to [[Kyubey]], an alien seeking to grant the wishes of young girls and transform them into Puella Magi, &amp;quot;magical girls&amp;quot; who combat beings known as Witches. After meeting [[Mami Tomoe]], an upperclassman at Mitakihara Middle School and a veteran Puella Magi, Madoka begins to consider contracting herself, but is stopped by the mysterious [[Homura Akemi]], a transfer student to her class. Homura appears to be dedicated to preventing Madoka from becoming a Puella Magi, while Kyubey is equally dedicated to contracting with her: for reasons unknown, she has the potential to become the most powerful magical girl that has ever lived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The series revolves around Madoka&#039;s decision to become a magical girl, and the wish she shall make.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka_hands.jpg|right|320px]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka is overall a kind, well-behaved, and outgoing girl who deeply wants to help others; as her official description on the series&#039; website states, &amp;quot;even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness.&amp;quot; Perhaps because of this desire, she is also plagued by self-doubt: she feels that she doesn&#039;t excel at anything in particular, and thus won&#039;t achieve anything of worth in her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In school, Madoka&#039;s interests appear to veer toward the arts: Art is her favorite subject, she enjoys sketching, and is a member of both the Gardening and Crafts clubs. She doesn&#039;t perform as well in the natural sciences and Phys. Ed., but tries to be a good student nonetheless; she never &amp;quot;borrows&amp;quot; her friends&#039; notes without permission, and always arrives at school on time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Powers, Weapons &amp;amp; Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka-firing.jpg|thumb|320px|Madoka firing one of her magical arrows.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka&#039;s main weapon is a bow shaped like a rose branch; the rose at its tip &amp;quot;blooms&amp;quot; whenever she fires an arrow. She can fire multiple arrows at once, and the arrows are capable of homing in on enemies, making her a powerful and versatile Puella Magi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While she initially does not seem to be any more powerful than Mami or Sayaka, Madoka&#039;s power seems to increase exponentially within each timeline. In the first timeline she was merely an ordinary magical girl; in the last timeline, she already had enough power to defeat Walpurgis with one shot, then in her witch form was capable of destroying the entire Earth. She also satisfied all of Kyubey&#039;s energy quotas for the entire planet. In the current timeline Kyubey claims that Madoka&#039;s power could be called godlike. She is said to be capable of even changing the laws of the universe if she wished for it. &lt;br /&gt;
*{{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 11, due to a Puella Magi&#039;s power being linked to the level of causality they would effect on their world (e.g. a queen whose actions could decide the fate of a nation would make a more powerful Puella Magi than a common schoolgirl whose area of effect is considerably smaller). Homura&#039;s resets link multiple parallel universes together with Madoka&#039;s fate as their center, augmenting the amount of effect she would have on them. Also, with every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centered around Madoka, thus further adding to her potential power.}}&lt;br /&gt;
*{{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 12, Madoka&#039;s magic is powerful enough to create a parallel universe; this is destroyed by her witch transformation at the end of time.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ume Aoki]]&#039;s design notes for Madoka are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
** I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple. &lt;br /&gt;
** On her magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first character of her last name (鹿) means &amp;quot;deer&amp;quot;. The last character (目) means &amp;quot;eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name can also be used as a first name.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name sounds the same as (要), which means &amp;quot;keystone&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot;. {{Spoiler|In the eleventh episode of the anime, Kyubey reveals that Madoka&#039;s great magic power has developed due to her becoming the &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot; of multiple universes, all of which were created due to Homura&#039;s wish to save her.}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean &amp;quot;round&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;tranquil&amp;quot; (円).&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to Kyubey in her room. &lt;br /&gt;
==Speculation==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:...|thumb|...]]&lt;br /&gt;
Warning: this section contains spoilers for the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Madoka and [[Mami]] are the only Puellae Magi known who are never seen having a mark on any of their fingernails (see a picture below). [[Homura]], [[Kyouko]] and [[Sayaka]] all have marks on their left middle fingers, matching the shape of the emblem of their respective Soul Gem. The meaning of that is unknown, speculations range from a production error to a connection to their wishes.&lt;br /&gt;
**Madoka is also never seen with her Soul Gem in a ring form.&lt;br /&gt;

She also satisfied all of Kyubey&#039;s energy quotas for the entire planet. In the current timeline Kyubey is claiming that Madoka&#039;s power could be called godlike. She is said to be capable of even changing the laws of the universe if she wished for it. {{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 11, due to a Puella Magi&#039;s power being linked to the level of causality they would effect on their world (e.g. a queen whose actions could decide the fate of a nation would make a more powerful Puella Magi than a common schoolgirl whose area of effect is considerably smaller). Homura&#039;s resets link multiple parallel universes together with Madoka&#039;s fate as their center, augmenting the amount of effect she would have on them. Also, with every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centered around Madoka, thus further adding to her potential power.}}&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Ume Aoki]]&#039;s design notes for Madoka are as follows:&lt;br /&gt;
** I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple. &lt;br /&gt;
** On her magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first character of her last name (鹿) means &amp;quot;deer&amp;quot;. The last character (目) means &amp;quot;eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name can also be used as a first name.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name sounds the same as (要), which means &amp;quot;keystone&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot;. {{Spoiler|In the eleventh episode of the anime, Kyubey reveals that Madoka&#039;s great magic power has developed due to her becoming the &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot; of multiple universes, all of which were created due to Homura&#039;s wish to save her.}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean &amp;quot;round&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;tranquil&amp;quot; (円).&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to Kyubey in her room. &lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The main character of the anime series &#039;&#039;Puella Magi Madoka Magica&#039;&#039;, described as &amp;quot;an average eighth-grader -- the kind you could find anywhere.&amp;quot; She lives a comfortable life with her [[Junko Kaname|mother]], [[Tomohisa Kaname|father]], and [[Tatsuya Kaname|little brother]], and attends [[Mitakihara Middle School]] with her friend [[Sayaka Miki]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Browsing a music store with Sayaka one day, Madoka hears a strange voice in her head calling for help, and seeks it out. The voice turns out to belong to [[Kyubey]], an alien seeking to grant the wishes of young girls and transform them into Puella Magi, &amp;quot;magical girls&amp;quot; who combat beings known as Witches. After meeting [[Mami Tomoe]], an upperclassman at Mitakihara Middle School and a veteran Puella Magi, Madoka begins to consider contracting herself, but is stopped by the mysterious [[Homura Akemi]], a transfer student to her class. Homura appears to be dedicated to preventing Madoka from becoming a Puella Magi, while Kyubey is equally dedicated to contracting with her: for reasons unknown, she has the potential to become the most powerful magical girl that has ever lived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The series revolves around Madoka&#039;s decision to become a magical girl, and the wish she shall make.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka_hands.jpg|right|320px]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka is overall a kind, well-behaved, and outgoing girl who deeply wants to help others; as her official description on the series&#039; website states, &amp;quot;even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness.&amp;quot; Perhaps because of this desire, she is also plagued by self-doubt: she feels that she doesn&#039;t excel at anything in particular, and thus won&#039;t achieve anything of worth in her life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In school, Madoka&#039;s interests appear to veer toward the arts: Art is her favorite subject, she enjoys sketching, and is a member of both the Gardening and Crafts clubs. She doesn&#039;t perform as well in the natural sciences and Phys. Ed., but tries to be a good student nonetheless; she never &amp;quot;borrows&amp;quot; her friends&#039; notes without permission, and always arrives at school on time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Powers, Weapons &amp;amp; Abilities==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka-firing.jpg|thumb|320px|Madoka firing one of her magical arrows.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka&#039;s main weapon is a bow shaped like a rose branch; the rose at its tip &amp;quot;blooms&amp;quot; whenever she fires an arrow. She can fire multiple arrows at once, and the arrows are capable of homing in on enemies, making her a powerful and versatile Puella Magi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While she initially does not seem to be any more powerful than Mami or Sayaka, Madoka&#039;s power seems to increase exponentially within each timeline. In the first timeline she was merely an ordinary magical girl; in the last timeline, she already had enough power to defeat Walpurgis with one shot, then in her witch form was capable of destroying the entire Earth. She also satisfied all of Kyubey&#039;s energy quotas for the entire planet. In the current timeline Kyubey is claiming that Madoka&#039;s power could be called godlike. She is said to be capable of even changing the laws of the universe if she wished for it. It may be interpreted as Kyubey giving her hint of what to wish for, telling her that she can revive her friends or change rules of this world, but Madoka is incapable of imagining her own power. {{spoiler|Confirmed as of Episode 11, due to a Puella Magi&#039;s power being linked to the level of causality they would effect on their world (e.g. a queen whose actions could decide the fate of a nation would make a more powerful Puella Magi than a common schoolgirl whose area of effect is considerably smaller). Homura&#039;s resets link multiple parallel universes together with Madoka&#039;s fate as their center, augmenting the amount of effect she would have on them. Also, with every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centered around Madoka, thus further adding to her potential power.}}&lt;br /&gt;

** On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first character of her last name (鹿) means &amp;quot;deer&amp;quot;. The last character (目) means &amp;quot;eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name can also be used as a first name.&lt;br /&gt;

==Description==&lt;br /&gt;
The main character of the anime series &#039;&#039;Puella Magi Madoka Magica&#039;&#039;, described as &amp;quot;an average eighth-grader -- the kind you could find anywhere.&amp;quot; She lives a comfortable life with her [[Junko Kaname|mother]], [[Tomohisa Kaname|father]], and [[Tatsuya Kaname|little brother]], and attends [[Mitakihara Middle School]] with her friend [[Sayaka Miki]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Personality==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Madoka_hands.jpg|right|320px]]&lt;br /&gt;
Madoka is overall a kind, well-behaved, and outgoing girl who deeply wants to help others; as her official description on the series&#039; website states, &amp;quot;even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness.&amp;quot; Perhaps because of this desire, she is also plagued by self-doubt: she feels that she doesn&#039;t excel at anything in particular, and thus won&#039;t achieve anything of worth in her life.&lt;br /&gt;

** On her magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first character of her last name (鹿) means &amp;quot;deer&amp;quot;. The last character (目) means &amp;quot;eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

** I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple. &lt;br /&gt;
** On her magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well.&lt;br /&gt;
** On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.&lt;br /&gt;
* The first character of her last name (鹿) means &amp;quot;deer&amp;quot;. The last character (目) means &amp;quot;eye.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name can also be used as a first name.&lt;br /&gt;
* Her last name sounds the same as (要), which means &amp;quot;keystone&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot;. {{Spoiler|In the eleventh episode of the anime, Kyubey reveals that Madoka&#039;s great magic power has developed due to her becoming the &amp;quot;hub&amp;quot; of multiple universes, all of which were created due to Homura&#039;s wish to save her.}}&lt;br /&gt;
* Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean &amp;quot;round&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;tranquil&amp;quot; (円).&lt;br /&gt;
* Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to Kyubey in her room. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Just a small question here: is it acceptable to upload manga panels? --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 17:09, 6 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:We don&#039;t have a clear copyright policy anywhere, or at least I haven&#039;t found one anywhere (I actually [[Talk:Main Page#Copyright guidelines?|tried talking about that]] but it went unanswered). Some scans of the manga are already uploaded (manga versions of Charlotte and Elsa Maria, &amp;quot;Incubator&amp;quot; scene, etc.), though, so by precedent, I&#039;d say yes. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 18:10, 6 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::As a rule of thumb, I&#039;d guess, select panels are no big deal, and when in doubt ask yourself whether the entire image is directly supporting the article. &amp;quot;This panel backs up that theory or illustrates this paragraph&amp;quot; sounds reasonable.&lt;br /&gt;
Man, this page seems more complete than those about main characters! Maybe you should consider refactoring the main character pages? You seem the right man to do it (笑) --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 21:21, 6 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:Maybe, but... I&#039;m short on time, at the moment, I have the weekend and little more (fencing tourney next week). I&#039;ll give it a try, but I reckon it&#039;s easier when you have a couple of paragraphs as base material and you add your own (most of this article was written by hand while I was bored in class today :P), than when you have... well, no one would be offended if I called that a clusterfuck, uh? &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Anyway, while the rest may have worked (and props to whoever suggested these guidelines in the KazuMagi talk page, wasn&#039;t signed), I failed in the history section. I wasn&#039;t able to synthesize things well, got two huge paragraphs off a single chapter. I think that&#039;s the only thing left to move this to the main namespace. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 21:41, 6 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Looks cleaner than the other character pages indeed (I haven&#039;t read it yet so I can&#039;t judge the content though). I think you should move it to the main namespace, that way other people will be more inclined to edit it as well (it&#039;s, well, more intimidating when it&#039;s in someone&#039;s namespace). Might not be perfect yet, but it&#039;s also what a wiki is for right? If you don&#039;t know how to synthetize the history section, just leave it in the main namespace and watch the wiki magic in action... --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 21:53, 6 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::You know, considering how much cleaner this page is than the other character pages, and how busy BrickBreak is, would it be okay if we started reformatting the pages ourselves? I myself need something to take off the edge of finals, so this would make for a great break between studying for each exam. (Also: BrickBreak, are you fencing foil, saber, or épée? Good luck!)

== &#039;Speculah&#039; or &#039;Speculation&#039; (... or &#039;Speculations&#039;?) ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing the discussion that started in the edit notes:&lt;br /&gt;
:(me --Homerun-chan-- changing &amp;quot;Speculah&amp;quot; into &amp;quot;Speculation&amp;quot;): Just nitpicking here; &amp;quot;Speculah&amp;quot; is Internet slang and shouldn&#039;t be used on a &amp;quot;serious&amp;quot; page ...&lt;br /&gt;
::(Brickbreak): I could have absolutely sworn the other character pages had &amp;quot;speculah&amp;quot; instead of &amp;quot;speculation&amp;quot;. Then again, that&#039;s just going from memory, and it&#039;s not like I&#039;ve slept for... the whole week, i think?&lt;br /&gt;
:::(ma again): Well there was &amp;quot;speculah&amp;quot; here and there back in the day, but it got edited for the same reason (unless we missed some pages). Might still be present on some less formal pages (threads history, etc).&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Speaking of which, I&#039;m hesitating now: is it &amp;quot;Speculation&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Speculations&amp;quot;? (I mean, can it be plural? I know &amp;quot;information&amp;quot; is always singular in english, for instance ...) --if we&#039;re gonna make it into meme-free English, let&#039;s make it into grammatically correct English too! --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 22:01, 6 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Speculation can be collective, or it can be pluralized, kind of like people vs. peoples. A page header for a speculation section should be &amp;quot;speculation&amp;quot; since they&#039;re all grouped as a set pertaining to a common topic, and you might or might not have more than one item. In a sentence you could use either &amp;quot;anons posted some new speculation&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;anons posted three new speculations&amp;quot; but not &amp;quot;anon posted three speculation&amp;quot; and not a &amp;quot;speculations&amp;quot; list with only one item.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Page Design ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the one who suggested this kind of page design, I only have one thing to say: damn good job. That&#039;s actually exactly what I was envisioning, and I can&#039;t find much fault to the sections. This is pretty much amazing and you deserve some cookies and kudos.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;==Walpurgis Night==&lt;br /&gt;
Walpurgis Night has been confirmed to be a witch on the official website. Hence, I added a link to the speculah article here. When more info on the witch is gathered, I think we should make a separate page for the witch herself. --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 18:18, 9 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Refactoring ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I like that new design. We should apply it to the witches section too. The problem is that using the cards as images renders pretty meh (see below -- the biggest problem is that we lack a lot of cards). Any idea? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 16:42, 17 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Snip: see also witch table on the article page&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Card blank.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Card blank2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I like it, but the lines between cards and links should be removed. We could use normal screenshots for the missing pictures or a ? pic like Suleika if the character did not appear in the series. On a related note, the parts about the witch in the [[Sayaka]] article should be moved to the [[Oktavia]] article. -- [[User:Anon-kun|Anon-kun]] 18:39, 17 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I agree with Anon-kun about the lines. I think a ? pic would be better than a screenshot. And can someone take a look at the speculah on Gertrud I added (under talk)? --[[User:Cleo|Cleo]] 21:01, 17 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:How about a strong line like this? (See above) --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 06:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I&#039;m not sure about the strong line. I think it catches too much attention. Maybe keep the normal line between the card and the names, but remove it between the witche&#039;s name and its familiars? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 11:31, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::I tried doing what you suggested, but it looks weird because padding in the top cell and bottom cell are merged together; what do you think if I changed the strong line to a simple space like this? --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 15:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Here&#039;s a blanked card [[User:Prima|Prima]] 06:22, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Tried adding the blank card. Generally speaking, it looks good IMO, but maybe we should change the question mark&#039;s style a bit, it look too much like Suleika&#039;s card right now (well... It &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; Suleika&#039;s card after all) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 11:31, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Here&#039;s something different. It&#039;s not polished at all (especially the runetext at the top which looks funny for now) but that shows another concept --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 11:41, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Cleaned a little, changed the texture to give it a slightly different look.  Revert it to version two if it&#039;s unsightly. [[User:Prima|Prima]] 11:51, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::I think this card works. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 16:34, 19 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:What do you think if we use 7 cards per row? I think it looks cleaner this way (and looks less important than the main character section). --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 16:42, 19 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Looks good to me. [[User:Prima|Prima]] 16:52, 19 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall it looks good, but&lt;br /&gt;
* I would split &amp;quot;Main characters&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;supporting characters&amp;quot; in two different tables. It looks a bit messy now. (maybe make the supporting character&#039;s cells a bit bigger in height too?)&lt;br /&gt;
* The fact that some names (the long one: Kriemhild Gretchen, Oktavia von Second Thoughts and the familiars that share one cell) have a smaller font than others bugs me. On the other hand, that gave me an idea: make the familiars appear slightly smaller than the witches they belong to (but all witches would have the same font size). &lt;br /&gt;
--[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 17:02, 19 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:Who is Oktavia von Second Thoughts? :) Joking aside, I put their name in smaller fonts to avoid breaking names into multiple lines (admittedly for aesthetic reason alone). I&#039;ll see what I can do about supporting characters table. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 17:26, 19 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fanart in Character Pages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, so there&#039;s a &#039;&#039;lot&#039;&#039; of new fanart being uploaded to the wiki, and that&#039;s not necessarily a bad thing -- especially when they&#039;re translations of Japanese fan comics, since ordinarily we wouldn&#039;t be able to just look them up on Pixiv and the like. Some of this stuff is too hilarious to not share.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that said, can we please take the fanart out of the character pages and put it in its own section? The character page galleries just look messy now, and a general &amp;quot;Translated Fan Comics&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Best of Fanart&amp;quot; repository would probably do a better job of getting fanworks out to everyone. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 03:52, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:How about we split up the character art gallery into several sections, like &#039;&#039;anime, manga, figures, fanart, etc&#039;&#039;? - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 03:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s not only the character pages, but elsewhere like episode pages and pretty much everywhere on the site.  I think it&#039;s important however it&#039;s categorized to separate fanart from what is official screenshots or artwork, or the work people have done for speculah like designs, charts and graphics.  There&#039;s also a grey area with things like Ume&#039;s doujin where she is the official character designer but she&#039;s working in the capacity of a fanartist with doujins (or at least that&#039;s how I&#039;d interpret it). --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 04:04, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Splitting up the galleries is a good idea, but how exactly will we determine what should go into the &amp;quot;fanart&amp;quot; sections? Would the criteria just be &amp;quot;I liked it, and I think other people will like it, too,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;This comic was originally in Japanese, but I translated it for everyone to read&amp;quot;? Another problem is that, to my knowledge, most of the actual fanartists go unnamed, so we should really try to source the fanart whenever we can. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Having one particularly apt piece of fanart at the top of a theory page (e.g., [[Speculah:Kyubey is Evil Theory]]) or a &amp;quot;side&amp;quot; page (e.g., [[Weapons]]) doesn&#039;t bother me that much, since they add flavor without being misleading. I&#039;d consider Ume Aoki&#039;s doujinshi in the same vein, since her visual depictions of the characters would technically be &amp;quot;canon&amp;quot; (even if their actions might not be).

&lt;br /&gt;
I think splitting up the Galleries would be for the best. Per say one section would be the default gallery in which Screenshots of said character from the show itself would be shown. Another section would be Official art, those would be the concept art for the characters along with some promotional pictures of said character. And since Aoki Ume is the series character designer, her doujinshi and illustrations should probably be included into this section as well. the last section would probably be Fanart in which Fan renditions of the said character would be put in. So recap, the gallery per character should be split into &amp;quot;the Default Gallery&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Official Art&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;Fan Art&amp;quot; [[User:MochaCoffee|MochaCoffee]] 06:11, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regarding fanarts, don&#039;t forget that there&#039;s also the [[Fanworks#Image_Pack|Image Pack]] that didn&#039;t get updated for a while. Maybe if there&#039;s too much fanarts on the pages, or images you would like to share but aren&#039;t relevant enough to be put on a special page, we can add them to the image pack? Then we&#039;d split the galleries into several categories as proposed above, and add a link to the relevant part of the pack (e.g. on Mami&#039;s page, we&#039;d add a notice under the &amp;quot;Fanart&amp;quot; section with something like &amp;quot;You can find more fanarts of Mami in [http://www.mediafire.com/?u161zsi2w7e2rgt the Image Pack Part. A]) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 10:00, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Those all sound like great ideas, and I&#039;ll get to work on setting up a template for the separate galleries. I&#039;d also like to put a policy in place mandating that we credit all fanartists on the individual image pages, with uncredited art either getting bumped to the image packs or deleted.

&lt;div&gt;==Walpurgis Night==&lt;br /&gt;
Walpurgis Night has been confirmed to be a witch on the official website. Hence, I added a link to the speculah article here. When more info on the witch is gathered, I think we should make a separate page for the witch herself. --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 18:18, 9 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I like that new design. We should apply it to the witches section too. The problem is that using the cards as images renders pretty meh (see below -- the biggest problem is that we lack a lot of cards). Any idea? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 16:42, 17 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

I like it, but the lines between cards and links should be removed. We could use normal screenshots for the missing pictures or a ? pic like Suleika if the character did not appear in the series. On a related note, the parts about the witch in the [[Sayaka]] article should be moved to the [[Oktavia]] article. -- [[User:Anon-kun|Anon-kun]] 18:39, 17 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

Overall it looks good, but&lt;br /&gt;
* I would split &amp;quot;Main characters&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;supporting characters&amp;quot; in two different tables. It looks a bit messy now. (maybe make the supporting character&#039;s cells a bit bigger in height too?)&lt;br /&gt;
* The fact that some names (the long one: Kriemhild Gretchen, Oktavia von Second Thoughts and the familiars that share one cell) have a smaller font than others bugs me. On the other hand, that gave me an idea: make the familiars appear slightly smaller than the witches they belong to (but all witches would have the same font size). &lt;br /&gt;

== Fanart in Character Pages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, so there&#039;s a &#039;&#039;lot&#039;&#039; of new fanart being uploaded to the wiki, and that&#039;s not necessarily a bad thing -- especially when they&#039;re translations of Japanese fan comics, since ordinarily we wouldn&#039;t be able to just look them up on Pixiv and the like. Some of this stuff is too hilarious to not share.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that said, can we please take the fanart out of the character pages and put it in its own section? The character page galleries just look messy now, and a general &amp;quot;Translated Fan Comics&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Best of Fanart&amp;quot; repository would probably do a better job of getting fanworks out to everyone.

&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s not only the character pages, but elsewhere like episode pages and pretty much everywhere on the site.  I think it&#039;s important however it&#039;s categorized to separate fanart from what is official screenshots or artwork, or the work people have done for speculah like designs, charts and graphics.  There&#039;s also a grey area with things like Ume&#039;s doujin where she is the official character designer but she&#039;s working in the capacity of a fanartist with doujins (or at least that&#039;s how I&#039;d interpret it). --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 04:04, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Splitting up the galleries is a good idea, but how exactly will we determine what should go into the &amp;quot;fanart&amp;quot; sections? Would the criteria just be &amp;quot;I liked it, and I think other people will like it, too,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;This comic was originally in Japanese, but I translated it for everyone to read&amp;quot;? Another problem is that, to my knowledge, most of the actual fanartists go unnamed, so we should really try to source the fanart whenever we can. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Having one particularly apt piece of fanart at the top of a theory page (e.g., [[Speculah:Kyubey is Evil Theory]]) or a &amp;quot;side&amp;quot; page (e.g., [[Weapons]]) doesn&#039;t bother me that much, since they add flavor without being misleading.

::Looks good to me. [[User:Prima|Prima]] 16:52, 19 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall it looks good, but&lt;br /&gt;
* I would split &amp;quot;Main characters&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;supporting characters&amp;quot; in two different tables. It looks a bit messy now. (maybe make the supporting character&#039;s cells a bit bigger in height too?)&lt;br /&gt;
* The fact that some names (the long one: Kriemhild Gretchen, Oktavia von Second Thoughts and the familiars that share one cell) have a smaller font than others bugs me. On the other hand, that gave me an idea: make the familiars appear slightly smaller than the witches they belong to (but all witches would have the same font size). &lt;br /&gt;

== Fanart in Character Pages ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, so there&#039;s a &#039;&#039;lot&#039;&#039; of new fanart being uploaded to the wiki, and that&#039;s not necessarily a bad thing -- especially when they&#039;re translations of Japanese fan comics, since ordinarily we wouldn&#039;t be able to just look them up on Pixiv and the like. Some of this stuff is too hilarious to not share.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With that said, can we please take the fanart out of the character pages and put it in its own section? The character page galleries just look messy now, and a general &amp;quot;Translated Fan Comics&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Best of Fanart&amp;quot; repository would probably do a better job of getting fanworks out to everyone. [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 03:52, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:How about we split up the character art gallery into several sections, like &#039;&#039;anime, manga, figures, fanart, etc&#039;&#039;? - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 03:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:It&#039;s not only the character pages, but elsewhere like episode pages and pretty much everywhere on the site.  I think it&#039;s important however it&#039;s categorized to separate fanart from what is official screenshots or artwork, or the work people have done for speculah like designs, charts and graphics.  There&#039;s also a grey area with things like Ume&#039;s doujin where she is the official character designer but she&#039;s working in the capacity of a fanartist with doujins (or at least that&#039;s how I&#039;d interpret it). --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 04:04, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::Splitting up the galleries is a good idea, but how exactly will we determine what should go into the &amp;quot;fanart&amp;quot; sections? Would the criteria just be &amp;quot;I liked it, and I think other people will like it, too,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;This comic was originally in Japanese, but I translated it for everyone to read&amp;quot;? Another problem is that, to my knowledge, most of the actual fanartists go unnamed, so we should really try to source the fanart whenever we can. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Having one particularly apt piece of fanart at the top of a theory page (e.g., [[Speculah:Kyubey is Evil Theory]]) or a &amp;quot;side&amp;quot; page (e.g., [[Weapons]]) doesn&#039;t bother me that much, since they add flavor without being misleading. I&#039;d consider Ume Aoki&#039;s doujinshi in the same vein, since her visual depictions of the characters would technically be &amp;quot;canon&amp;quot; (even if their actions might not be).

&lt;div&gt;==Walpurgis Night==&lt;br /&gt;
Walpurgis Night has been confirmed to be a witch on the official website. Hence, I added a link to the speculah article here. When more info on the witch is gathered, I think we should make a separate page for the witch herself. --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 18:18, 9 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Refactoring ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I like that new design. We should apply it to the witches section too. The problem is that using the cards as images renders pretty meh (see below -- the biggest problem is that we lack a lot of cards). Any idea? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 16:42, 17 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Card blank.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Card blank2.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I like it, but the lines between cards and links should be removed. We could use normal screenshots for the missing pictures or a ? pic like Suleika if the character did not appear in the series. On a related note, the parts about the witch in the [[Sayaka]] article should be moved to the [[Oktavia]] article. -- [[User:Anon-kun|Anon-kun]] 18:39, 17 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I agree with Anon-kun about the lines. I think a ? pic would be better than a screenshot. And can someone take a look at the speculah on Gertrud I added (under talk)? --[[User:Cleo|Cleo]] 21:01, 17 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:How about a strong line like this? (See above) --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 06:03, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::I&#039;m not sure about the strong line. I think it catches too much attention. Maybe keep the normal line between the card and the names, but remove it between the witche&#039;s name and its familiars? --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 11:31, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::I tried doing what you suggested, but it looks weird because padding in the top cell and bottom cell are merged together; what do you think if I changed the strong line to a simple space like this? --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 15:27, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:Here&#039;s a blanked card [[User:Prima|Prima]] 06:22, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::Tried adding the blank card. Generally speaking, it looks good IMO, but maybe we should change the question mark&#039;s style a bit, it look too much like Suleika&#039;s card right now (well... It &#039;&#039;is&#039;&#039; Suleika&#039;s card after all) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 11:31, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Here&#039;s something different. It&#039;s not polished at all (especially the runetext at the top which looks funny for now) but that shows another concept --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 11:41, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::Cleaned a little, changed the texture to give it a slightly different look.  Revert it to version two if it&#039;s unsightly. [[User:Prima|Prima]] 11:51, 18 March 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Is it &amp;quot;Niko&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Nico&amp;quot;? The scanlations use the latter. -[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 14:23, 7 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Wait. Independent chapters? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;m seeing Chapters One through Three of Kazumi on Mangafox. Yet the first volume is only coming out in May 12th?&lt;br /&gt;
I am kinda nob when it comes to manga... so, does &amp;quot;serialization&amp;quot; means that these chapters are coming out in Kirara Forward each month, before they&#039;re packed together and released as a volume? [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 20:26, 11 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
: Yes. Most manga series are published chapter-by-chapter each week or month in a magazine, with volumes being released whenever a set number of chapters is reached. [[Special:Contributions/64.89.144.100|64.89.144.100]] 20:51, 11 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

::In that case, should we add each chapter&#039;s release date? [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 22:04, 11 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:::I believe a release date along with a summary of the chapters would be in order, with proper spoiler tags of course.&lt;br /&gt;

:Do you have a scan or something? Might as well try and translate them, I&#039;m pretty bored anyway. Also, we should probably make a page for them then, [[Runes:Kazumi Magica]] or something. --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 14:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:: [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahoushoujo_kazumi_magica_the_innocent_malice/v01/c001/4.html I see them here, but suddenly I&#039;m not sure if they were added there by the scanlators or not.] There &#039;&#039;might&#039;&#039; be some [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahoushoujo_kazumi_magica_the_innocent_malice/v01/c003/5.html here] as well, I&#039;m not sure. - [[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 15:08, 12 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Volume 1 ==&lt;br /&gt;
Dumb question: I would imagine that since it&#039;s being released the same time as &#039;&#039;Oriko&#039;&#039; it might get lost in the shuffle, but is there anyone who&#039;s planning to look through it and see if there are any differences/additions to the original serialized chapters? -- [[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 20:09, 4 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:If someone will upload the scans (raws are fine) of the tankobon somewhere (preferably as some DDL, but torrent is OK, too), then I can do that. But seeing how Kazumi is rather unpopular, I&#039;m not so sure of the scan availability. I don&#039;t plan on buying Kazumi myself. Not in the slightest. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 20:40, 4 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:: Yeah, that&#039;s what concerns me. I&#039;d do it myself, if I could get the scans, but...--[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 21:33, 4 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::It is? Uh... it&#039;s got half a million views in MangaFox, but then again, I guess that doesn&#039;t translate in the &amp;quot;Madoka is sold out EVERYWHERE&amp;quot; thing we had with the original manga. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 22:02, 4 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::: It&#039;s more that I&#039;m worried Kazumi will be ignored when Oriko comes out. -- [[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 22:07, 4 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::: Well obviously. Slapping the main characters on it = automatic profit. And Kazumi was just getting intresting :/ (well, to most people. I&#039;ve liked it since the start. Though it might just be because I love Kazumi and real tech mixed with magic (the GPS, Yuuri&#039;s SMGs are &#039;&#039;almost&#039;&#039; [[wikipedia:Walther MPL|Walther MPL]]&#039;s, etc.)) --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 22:16, 4 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Expansion ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a question that also applies to Oriko.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Right now, we have a single page to cover everything in each manga release. Granted, they&#039;re nearly not the same scale as Madoka, and one of them is just a medium conversion with few changes. But still, there&#039;s more to it than just this.&lt;br /&gt;
The most obvious example being a page for Kazumi herself, Umika and Kaoru, and another for the Pleiades Saints. And maybe then think about other stuff.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I volunteer to work on it, but I won&#039;t be able to until the weekend, university and fencing are keeping me locked up.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;But that&#039;s not really my main question. That would be: should it be done? Okay, this is &amp;quot;Puella Magi wiki&amp;quot;, not &amp;quot;Madoka wiki&amp;quot;. But given the obviously huge focus on Madoka, and the apparent lack of interest in the spin-offs (so far), is it justifiable? &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;I certainly think so, but I want to hear from you. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 00:13, 5 May 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I myself am not interested in the spinoffs, but definitely think that &#039;&#039;Kazumi&#039;&#039; at least should get its own set of character pages and the like. My only problem is with &#039;&#039;Oriko&#039;&#039;: the current translation of the second volume&#039;s synopsis calls it the &amp;quot;concluding&amp;quot; volume, meaning that the series most likely isn&#039;t going to have enough content to justify taking up more than one page -- especially considering that any new insight into the anime characters can just be entered onto &#039;&#039;their&#039;&#039; preexisting pages.

::Well, &amp;quot;silently reaching Madoka Kaname bit by bit&amp;quot; doesn&#039;t settle anything. It may refer to Madokami, but it may also refer to the week between Homura&#039;s release from hospital and her transferring in to Mitakihara&#039;s school. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 09:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::This has all the workings of an hilarious translation error, RE: &amp;quot;mahou shoujo hunting&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Question: I would like to verify what the evidence was that Oriko was a prequel.  As far as I know, it was pure speculation on the part of fans because at the time of its announcement, it was what fans thought would explain Mami and Kyouko being in it despite being dead (or on the way there) in the anime.  Now that we&#039;ve seen episode 12, we know that doesn&#039;t have to be the case.  So I&#039;m not sure why the default mentality is &amp;quot;it&#039;s a prequel unless proven otherwise.&amp;quot;  Normally one thinks of a continuation/spin-off as being sequential to the original work, unless specifically stated otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
:There was some scan (the original link 404ed, and I&#039;m too lazy to search for it elsewhere) with a comment by Mura Kuroe, reading 「およそ一般的な魔法少女らしからぬ佐倉杏子や衡撃的な殉職をした巴マミに、アニメとはまた違った角度からスポットを当てたり、オリジナルキャラが出てきたりと、かなり自由にやらせていただいております。現段階ではまだ何もお話できませんが（笑）、アニメを観終えた方がもっと『魔法少女まどか☆マギカ』ワールドを楽しめる、観てない方は最初からアニメを観てみたくなる、そんなコミックスに出来るようがんばりますので楽しみにしていてください。」 (I actually retyped it some time ago for MAL, so that&#039;s how I have the text). What I was able to understand from it is that the manga will show Kyouko and Mami from different perspectives, will feature original characters and will be approaching the Madoka universe in a quite liberal way. It was clearly understood at the time (after ep8 - Mami had died long ago, and Kyouko was speculated to die soon, which actually happened) that it means a prequel, but yeah, now that Mami and Kyouko are back in a way, it&#039;s not that clear. --[[User:KFYatek|KFYatek]] 18:03, 30 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::It was also subtly implied in the anime that Mami and Kyouko had some sort of shared backstory in the past, and it was thought that Oriko would cover that period. Before the synopsis was released, the description said it would cover an event that was not in the anime, which could suggest a prequel. --[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 18:45, 30 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;

== Better Translation? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have reason to think that both translations listed on this page contain important errors. The &amp;quot;Translation of Official Site&amp;quot; comes from [http://www.dokidokivisual.com/madokamagica/oriko/ here], but it seems to mention &#039;&#039;both&#039;&#039; Madoka and Homura (based off looking for the characters for &amp;quot;Homura&amp;quot;). But more importantly, when I put the text from [http://houbunsha.co.jp/comics/detail.php?p=%CB%E2%CB%A1%BE%AF%BD%F7%A4%AA%A4%EA%A4%B3%A1%F9%A5%DE%A5%AE%A5%AB here] into an online translator, the last two lines actually appear to be the two English lines seen [http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4832240161/ on the cover here] (click and zoom in on the upper left. Granted, it looks like it&#039;s badly translated English, but still). Could anyone re-translate these?

:::Hi, I&#039;m an owner of the animapple blog. I also think calling this manga sequel is a bit to far-fatched from the information currently given.

Thus, there are two possibilities; 1. The idea of &#039;prequel&#039; was all trolling and this is indeed sequel, as that synopsis was posted &#039;AFTER&#039; the airing of last episode, 2.

== Prequel/Sequel Debate ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Should probably move this to a new section. Anyway:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Point A: &amp;quot;It can&#039;t be a prequel, the cover of Vol 2 shows Homura, not Moemura.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
**Sadly doesn&#039;t mean much. It could still be a prequel that happens in the one week we don&#039;t see before episode 1, and the cover is just a metaphor for what Homura is doing, and not something that will actually happen in the manga. The cover could also just be that: a cover, and have little to do with the story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Point B: &amp;quot;It can&#039;t be a sequel, Homura&#039;s not wearing Madoka&#039;s ribbons.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
**She doesn&#039;t start wearing the ribbons until after the &amp;quot;Sayaka vanishes&amp;quot; point in the timeline. This could also be the point where she starts remembering Madoka too. Therefore it doesn&#039;t really mean anything. Also once again, cover could just be a cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Point C: &amp;quot;It&#039;s centered on Kyouko and Mami, so it has to be a prequel.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
**Could be. Could also just be set in the new setting where they are clearly working together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Feel free to add points and counterpoints as necessary. However, I feel that right now we haven&#039;t been given anything conclusive about whether it&#039;s a prequel, sequel, or an outright alt-u. Until we see a Witch/Grief Seed or a Demon/Grief... Cube?, it would be better not to assume anything. It might mislead people and create false hopes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&#039;ll add pro-sequel points:&lt;br /&gt;
* 1) Sayaka is the only major character missing in both Oriko covers and descriptions.  This is an odd absence in prequel where you have Madoka and Homura present (meaning it couldn&#039;t be a time prior to Sayaka&#039;s introduction, as she&#039;s friends with Madoka).  However, her absence would make sense in a sequel where Sayaka&#039;s died in episode 12. &lt;br /&gt;
* 2) The introduction of new girls and the description of the manga as having a new plot-line with the &amp;quot;hunting of magical girls&amp;quot; seems to me like quite a bit of information you have to hand-wave to explain that all happened involving the major cast characters, and never get mentioned in the anime.  Whereas it would fit for a continuation or spin-off without problems, especially since episode 12 makes it clear magical girls still exist, still fight, but things are different and a sequel could explain how.&lt;br /&gt;
* 3) Normally if a manga is a prequel, that&#039;s mentioned in the advertisement.  The fact it isn&#039;t leads me to believe that the publisher expects us to believe the default view: that a manga is a sequel or in this case, a spin-off, that follows that original body of work.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:I will take a third option and say it will be set after anime events, but it will fill in backstory from &#039;&#039;before&#039;&#039; the anime events through flashbacks, thus letting it function as both a sequel and a prequel. --[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 18:47, 30 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

== Better Translation? ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have reason to think that both translations listed on this page contain important errors. The &amp;quot;Translation of Official Site&amp;quot; comes from [http://www.dokidokivisual.com/madokamagica/oriko/ here], but it seems to mention &#039;&#039;both&#039;&#039; Madoka and Homura (based off looking for the characters for &amp;quot;Homura&amp;quot;). But more importantly, when I put the text from [http://houbunsha.co.jp/comics/detail.php?p=%CB%E2%CB%A1%BE%AF%BD%F7%A4%AA%A4%EA%A4%B3%A1%F9%A5%DE%A5%AE%A5%AB here] into an online translator, the last two lines actually appear to be the two English lines seen [http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4832240161/ on the cover here] (click and zoom in on the upper left. Granted, it looks like it&#039;s badly translated English, but still). Could anyone re-translate these? (I have no capability of translating Japanese). -- [[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 16:31, 29 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:I took a shot at translating the little text that&#039;s available, and while I don&#039;t have a complete set yet, I was able to pinpoint some problems. For example, the &amp;quot;Who could be the girl that stands in front of Mami and Kyouko?&amp;quot; could be better expressed as &amp;quot;Who in the world is this young girl standing before Mami and Kyouko...?&amp;quot; (&#039;&#039;Mami to Kyouko no mae ni tatazumu kono otome wa ittai...?&#039;&#039;) The &amp;quot;magical girl hunting&amp;quot; bit is also vague in English, whereas in Japanese I&#039;m pretty sure that it clearly refers to &amp;quot;the hunting activities of magical girls,&amp;quot; rather than &amp;quot;the hunting &#039;&#039;of&#039;&#039; magical girls.&amp;quot; It&#039;s difficult for me since I&#039;m not well-versed in the language, but I&#039;ll try to help out!

:::Hi, I&#039;m an owner of the animapple blog. I also think calling this manga sequel is a bit to far-fatched from the information currently given. Before this synopsis being released, the only information we had was; &#039;Oriko Magica will be looking at other character&#039;s story in different perspective&#039;. Thus, there are two possibilities; 1. The idea of &#039;prequel&#039; was all trolling and this is indeed sequel, as that synopsis was posted &#039;AFTER&#039; the airing of last episode, 2. It is prequel from untold loop by homura. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, I still consider my translation to be accurate. 2ch&#039;s response justified that it is indeed &#039;magical girls being hunted&#039;, not &#039;magical girls hunting&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give you another fact that improves possibility of this being sequel.

:::Oh how could I not see this page. I&#039;m your man, leave it to me. [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 22:16, 28 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::I&#039;ll take care of all firearms for now, but should we include other kinds of weaponry? [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 22:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::Speaking of &amp;quot;other kinds of weaponry:&amp;quot; is it just me, or did Homura actually use a nuclear reactor against Walpurgis Night in Episode 11? Should that be included on this page? [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 00:39, 29 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
:::::A nuclear reactor? If you&#039;re talking about Homura&#039;s final attack, that was some sort of stadium or dome lined with explosives, I think. Sure the explosion looked gargantuan, but I&#039;ll say it again: &#039;&#039;stadium lined with explosives&#039;&#039;. Mushroom clouds and ungodly explosions aren&#039;t nuclear exclusive, any large explosion will do it: it&#039;s just very rare to see a non-nuclear explosion that strong. The most usual example is a [[wikipedia:Thermobaric weapon|thermobaric weapon]]. [[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 00:58, 29 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;br /&gt;
::::::Considering that Homura was fighting Walpurgis in what was definitely an industrial area, we can be pretty sure that it wasn&#039;t a stadium. On watching that scene again, though, it looks almost like Walpurgis fell into something like a giant &#039;&#039;trap pit&#039;&#039; that Homura lined with rectangular bombs: there seem to be buildings along its perimeter, and the perspective suggests that the witch is below ground level rather than surrounded by high walls. How could she have set that up, though? [[User:Momoism|Momoism]] 02:58, 29 April 2011 (UTC)&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
