Kyubey explains that Sorana's power is "water molecule manipulation"<ref name="soramagi-c1"/>, which fits with her wish. This includes:
* Splitting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen<ref name="soramagi-c1"/>,
* Creating lenses inside the eyes to improve sight<ref name="soramagi-c1"/>,
* Manipulating temperatures, and creating miniature weather phenomena<ref name="soramagi-c1-night">{{Cite/Work|[[Magia Exedra Main Quest - Sorana Nagiboshi's Memory - Earth#Noontide in a Sunken City]]}}</ref>
However, it does not include the straight-up creation of water, therefore it cannot be used in waterless environments<ref name="soramagi-c1"/>.

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra|Magia Exedra]]===
Sorana Nagiboshi is a [[#Magia Exedra|playable character]] in Magia Exedra. She has '''1''' Kioku: {{Inline Icon|11540101 thumbnail.png|Aqua Tempest|link=Magia Exedra Kioku - Aqua Tempest}}, released on October 4th 2026.

====[[Magia Exedra Event - Portraits of the Past and Promise|Portraits of the Past and Promise]]====
After [[Name]] finds a pitch black Portrait, Sorana appears and expresses how much she likes it. After Name asks her who she is, she is shocked that Name doesn't remember her, [[Madoka]] then explains that she is someone Name will meet in the future.

===In [[Puella Magi Sorana Magica (Our Fates, Our Futures)]]===
{{stub}}
====Before 2225====
Sorana was born circa year 2208<ref group="note" name="birthyear"/>. She was raised by two mothers, one whose name was not mentioned, and one named {{nihongo|Lina|リナ}}, in [[Old Capital]]'s "Island District" on Earth.<ref name="soramagi-c1"/>

On May 2nd, 2220, Sorana first found [[Lilly Candy]] streaming online from Main Belt, asteroid Juno, KawaiiTopia, which immediately fascinated her, prompting her to sign up for the membership and send a message to her under a pseudonym. Half an hour later, she got to see Lilly read her message on-stream and sing for her, enamouring her further. That night, Sorana dreamt about doing a collab stream on KawaiiTopia with Lilly.<ref name="mss-sorana-fafs">{{Cite/Work|[[Magia Exedra Heartphial Story - Sorana Nagiboshi - Magical Girl Story#Fave at First Sight]]}}</ref>. An unspecified amount of time later after waking up, Sorana decided to try streaming herself, raking in one viewer, who asked her about the character on her t-shirt. She explained it's not a character, but the ''Anomalocaris'', a species of animal that became extinct 500 million years ago, and rambled intensely on its topic. She didn't notice her viewer left without a further comment until she went to find a figurine of the animal to show them, and decided to never stream again.<ref name="mss-sorana-fafs"/>

On September 23rd, 2220, when Sorana was at home with her unnamed mother, a tropical cyclone's severity rose to the status of typhoon, prompting an evacuation order. She and the mother attempted to follow it, planning to pick Lina up on the way, however due to the weather, the road was closed. The two of them never reunited with Lina, and the unnamed mother was swept away by the flood, thus marking the last time Sorana saw her. Sorana lost consciousness soon afterwards, and regained it on a truck rammed into a footbridge. She was rescued a few hours later, marking the beginning of her life as an orphan.<ref name="soramagi-c1"/>

====March 2225====

On March 1st, 2225, Sorana did her spring break homework - a world history report, after which she treated herself to watching Lilly's stream. Seeing Lilly announce a collab with a free-to-play gacha game, she decided to play it. Due to poor luck, she failed to get Lilly's brainwave ASMR despite spending a considerable amount of money on pulls.<ref name="mss-sorana-afwica">{{Cite/Work|[[Magia Exedra Heartphial Story - Sorana Nagiboshi - Magical Girl Story#Anything for Who I Care About!]]}}</ref> She decided to look for a job, and found an AI career assessment tool, which recommended her marine salvage and informed her on what it entailed in broad strokes, its monetization scheme and its requirements, including a boating license. She accepted it and got the license a week later through VR training.

Merely half an hour later, she got to meet {{nihongo|Coral Seeker Beta|コーラル・シーカーβ}}, or Coral for short, her rented submarine equipped with {{nihongo|Navi AI|ナビAI}}. It explained the job to her further, including the paid reservation system required to salvage without a penalty, and told her she's required to wear the provided work uniform, a diving suit, while operating the submersible. Seeing her current area wasn't very profitable, she reserved a slot somewhere else<ref name="mss-sorana-afwica"/> She ventured further into the Old Capital Waters, where she collected items such as wrecked cars' batteries using the tools available and built into the submarine. Initially excited about her profits, her enthusiasm dwarfed as Coral listed the fees and taxes to be deduced, meaning Sorana was actually in the red. Coral informed her that poor profits are due to her inexperience, and that she would be able to earn more as her skills and credibility raise, including other forms of submarine work such as guided tours or streaming, the second of which Sorana didn't want to do. Coral then proposed she could participate in quests, that is high-paying tasks in more difficult conditions.<ref name="mss-sorana-afwica"/>

===August, September 2225===
Sorana continues to live in the now-flooded Old Capital's ruins, at the Ship Archipelago, an offshore settlement for those displaced by the rising sea level, in a small, pre-owned rental boat<ref name="soramagi-c1"/>. She studies through a correspondence school, and works in underwater salvage<ref name="sorana-page-char"/> using a rented submarine named {{nihongo|Coral Seeker Beta|コーラル・シーカーβ}} and equipped with a large language model named {{nihongo|Navi AI|ナビAI}}, serving as her navigation and boss. Due to her tight budget, the submarine is a cheap model, lacking in many quality-of-life features, and she can be seen eating fish she herself caught in the polluted waters.

Latria

NepetaLeijon27: /* Trivia */ fixing broken link

{{Spoilers|media=oriko}}
'''Latria''' ({{Runes|LATRIA}}) is the witch form of [[Kirika Kure]], who appears in the second half of the first installment of ''[[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]]'' and [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica: Sadness Prayer|Sadness Prayer]]. She also appears in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record]] as Kirika's Doppel and in [[Magia Exedra]] as a boss.

==History==
{{stub}}
===Oriko Magica===
===Sadness Prayer===
===Magia Record===
Latria appears in Magia Record as [[Kirika Kure in Magia Record|Kirika]]'s Doppel.

====Doppel Description====
The Doppel of enticement. Its form is needles.
The master of this emotion has vowed absolute loyalty to her savior. It penetrates enemy and master alike with sharp needles, sewing the fate of all things tight. This act represents its extreme devotion, such that it offers up everything, including its life to its benefactor, while symbolizing the perilousness of its dependence upon the other, which it cannot maintain its identity without. The sharper the needles are, the more the stitches there are, and the harder it becomes to extricate oneself from it. However, this merely serves as an expression of the master's desire.
===Magia Exedra===

==In Magia Exedra==
{{Magia Exedra Game Info|character=Latria}}

==Trivia==
* In Oriko Magica, Kirika's witch name was unknown and theorized by fans to be "Margot" due to a sign in her labyrinth that read "Margot Garden". In Magia Record, her name was officially revealed to be "Latria".
** Though "Margot Garden" might be a reference to the artwork [https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/10422 ''Spring: Margot Standing in a Garden''] by [[Wikipedia:Mary_Cassatt|Mary Cassatt]].
* Latria is a Latin word that means "adoration". The word has [[wikipedia:Latria|religious significance]].
* Latria may be a reference to the Grim Reaper due to how she composes of multiple bodies and due to the scythes on her arms. The multiple torsos are significant due to how the Grim Reaper is said to harvest souls at the time of a death.
**Also Latria's eye in her hat may be a reference to the infamous 'evil eye' who is said to have been a glare that witches would have used to curse people.
* Latria's familiars are shown to be able to eat people alive as [[Kazuko Saotome]] is seen to suffer this fate.
* In its Doppel animation, its name is incorrectly spelled as "Latriaa".
* She is the same type of Witch as [[Quitterie]].
* Latria's design changes in Sadness Prayer, where she is seen wearing clothing. She also loses her side spikes and gains a square design protruding from where her arms would be, with strings coming out of these squares which she can control.
** Latria's design is similarly covered in Magia Record, even though she's covered further.
*** Magia Record also gives Latria arms, which she lacked in any prior appearance.
**Her design (along with her minions) also received a huge design overhaul once again in [[Magia Exedra]], designed to look like Gekidan Inu Curry's style and also incorporated elements of her Doppel Form.
*** Her new design adopts the checkered cape from [[:File:Doppel 400400 l.png|Oriko's Final ver. doppel]].
*The graves on her labyrinth in Magia Exedra reads {{Runes|RIP}} (RIP).
*Her minions receive the name Orkos in Magia Exedra. Orkos may be a reference to the Greek mythology [[wikipedia:Horkos|of a curse manifesting if one makes a false oath.]]
**'''Orko'''s also has some of the letters in '''Or'''i'''ko'''.
* Latria's Nightmare Mode version in Magia Exedra remains largely unchanged other than having the same swirly overlay and red outlines, whereas all other bosses, including those added through updates, are given a black and red palette.

==Powers and Abilities==
Thanks to her wish to cure her Ui's disease, Iroha has healing magic.{{Citation needed}} However, while she has been shown using it to heal others, it is unclear whether she can use it on herself to the same extent as [[Sayaka Miki]].{{Citation needed}} However, her power is capable of completely healing a cracked Soul Gem, as was the case with [[Mifuyu Azusa]].<ref name='lastmagia'>Shown in [[Magia Record Event - The Last Magia]]</ref> Her connect ability in the game seems to support the thought of her healing ability being greatly effective on other people rather than herself allowing her to potentially keep her allies alive at a more effective rate.{{Citation needed}}

In Arc 2 Chapter 12, it was revealed that Iroha doesn't have healing as her innate ability.<ref name='maina2ch12'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 2 - Chapter 12: Tying The Eternal Coloring]]</ref> What her innate power truly is is "reversal"<ref name='maina2ch12'/>, this is why she was able to fix Mifuyu's Soul Gem in Arc 1<ref name='lastmagia'/>, and also why her healing seemed to be so slow, especially in comparison to someone like Sayaka who specifically wished to heal someone.{{Citation needed}} She's actually reversing the negative effects on those she's healing, bringing them back to prime.{{Citation needed}} This is also why Yachiyo and Mifuyu are at their full power in Arc 2 despite their age: Iroha reversed them back to their prime.{{Citation needed}} In her Infinite Iroha form, she’s capable of using this power to restore several Magical Girls, but the cost of overusing it would be her vanishing from the world.{{Citation needed}}

[[File:10-20.jpg|thumb|left|Iroha using her magic to shoot herself like an arrow]]
With her arm-mounted crossbow, Iroha can fire magical arrows, either one-by-one or in a large, spread-out volley.{{Citation needed}} She can charge her arrows before firing to make them stronger.{{Citation needed}} She is also capable of creating a large bow made of magic capable of firing herself like an arrow.<ref name='maina1ch10'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Chapter 10: Dawn of a Shallow Dream]]</ref> Her arrows can also form one concentrated blast when combined as she is shown creating beams of light after they are shot into her magical sigil.{{Citation needed}} Whilst Iroha can fire magical arrows at a rapid rate, they don't always reliably hit her opponent and can be deflected away.{{Citation needed}} It should be noted however they can easily overwhelm enemies if fired constantly allowing Iroha to potentially face a wave of enemies if necessary.{{Citation needed}}

Something interesting about Iroha is what happens when she uses the 'Connect' ability on another Magical Girl, it seems that her magic ultimately powers up the attacks of other Magical Girls as shown with Tsuruno's fans spewing greater amounts of fire after Iroha connected with her.<ref name='anireco4'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 4: This Isn't the Past]]</ref> The same also applies to Felicia's hammer travelling around at great speeds and creating a purple energetic wave around it when Iroha connected with her.<ref name='anireco7'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 7: I Want to Go Home with You]]</ref> As a result, Iroha is able to hypothetically give her allies a temporary power boost offensively if she were to 'Connect' with her allies.

[[File:Episode 4 Giovanna vs Commoners Horse.gif|thumb|left|Giovanna wrapping the [[Uwasa of the Commoner's Horse]] in her cloth]]
When her soul gem turns black, she can bring forth her [[Doppel]], Giovanna.{{Citation needed}} Giovanna seems to be able to summon varying amounts of 'cloth' from its being at will.{{Citation needed}} This 'cloth' can be used to suffocate enemies after tying them up or to create binds or traps.{{Citation needed}} The doppel seems to have an execution method when dealing with enemies where it will wrap them up in the cloth before mercilessly pecking them to death.<ref name='anireco5'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 5: There's No Place For You Here]]</ref> Iroha - when in control of Giovanna that is - can also send tendrils of this cloth charging at her enemies in a volley and wrap it's cloth around herself as a form of defence.<ref name='anireco13'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 13: A Faint Hope]]</ref> Though the doppel may not be as strong as other ones it can be dangerous due to it's persistent desire to get rid of anything that Iroha doesn't wish to acknowledge.{{Citation needed}} The doppel hypothetically can also keep Iroha 'safe' as it's innate nature is denial or 'silence'.{{Citation needed}} As a result, Iroha is never able to truly be taken over by the doppel as it renders her completely oblivious once it takes over, effectively preserving her mental state so she doesn't become lost to it.{{Citation needed}}

==Trivia==
* Iroha's birthday is the same day that Magia Record officially launched.
* The bottom symbol of her soul gem when not transformed resembles her hood drawn over her head.
** This makes Iroha one of the few magical girls whose non-transformed soul gem symbols do not match.
* Her magia is Italian for "The path to the future". This could represent her leading magical girls to a new future and saving Kamihama. However, the name is not grammatically correct, as 'Futuro' is used either as a noun or masculine form of the adjective, which doesn't make much sense in the former case and is still grammatically incorrect in the latter.
* On the cover of DA VINCI Magazine 2020 for October, Madoka is holding the book ''[[wikipedia:The_Neverending_Story|The Neverending Story]]'' while Iroha is holding ''[[wikipedia:Little_Women|Little Women]]''.
* According to ''Ultimate Madoka'' and ''Madoka & Iroha'''s Magical Girl Stories, Iroha becomes a Magical Girl only in ''Magia Record's'' timeline. In other timelines, she either never contracted Kyubey or died in a car accident. Hence, Ui was never healed.
* In the game Iroha is shown making a contract in her bedroom, while in the anime it happens in the roof of the hospital where Ui is being treated.
* Ume Aoki's commentary on Iroha in Magia Archive Vol. 1: "When I was first tasked with designing Iroha, her weapon was a dagger, and since it's a simple weapon, I designed her character to be plain as well. As game production went on, we decided she would be the main character, so I upped her heroine factor in a very ad hoc way, such as changing her eyes from a slanted to a more almond-like shape, and giving her long hair in the back, which wasn’t a part of her design at first. The transparent area on her stomach is my favorite part. As for her school uniform, I made the first basic shape, and from there, f4 chose various colors and patterns for the ribbons and skirt. I remember having a hard time picking [the final design] because they were all so cute. The uniforms for all the schools, save for the Kamihama Municipal University Affiliated School, were designed by f4."
* According to her Swimsuit unit's description, she is not good at swimming.
* All Anime units have the backgrounds of their star cards based on Witch Labyrinths from the anime. Specifically, Iroha is in [[Box Wood]]'s Labyrinth in her 4★ while her 5★ features her and Yachiyo about to save Tsuruno from an [[Uwasa of the Chelation Land Ferris Wheel|Uwasa]]'s control.
* ''Iroha & Kuroe'', ''Konoha & Hazuki'', ''Amane Sisters (Swimsuit)'', ''Tsuruno & Felicia (Special Delivery)'' and ''Reira & Seika'' are the only dual units who actually summon their Doppels rather than use a second Magia attack.
* ''Iroha & Kuroe'' along with [[Shi]], were the last units featured in a limited gacha one could roll for before the Japanese server shut down, similar to how [[Hanna Sarasa]] was one for the English server.
* ''Madoka & Iroha'' might have been an unofficial early Anime unit. The art style of their in-battle sprite strongly resembles this of the official anime units and their second Magia is based on their Connect scene from the anime's second season.
** The shape their combined bows make in their second Magia attack resembles the symbols of [[Magic#Adjustment|Coordinators]]/[[Magic#Connect|Connect]].
** ''Iroha & Kuroe'' are similar with this, their battle sprites greatly resemble the sprites of official anime units and both their first and second Magia are based on the anime (furthermore, Iroha's doppel uses the anime design).
* The name of ''Madoka & Iroha'''s Magia, "Pluvia Futura", is a combination of Madoka's "Pluvia☆Magica" and Iroha's "Strada Futuro".
** It features their respective [[:File:Madoka_magiccircle.jpg|magical]] [[:File:Vlcsnap-2020-07-02-10h22m40s021.png|seals]].
** The name of their second Magia, "Magia Magica" ("Magical Magic"), is a clear combination of the titles of their respective works.
* In Magia Exedra:
[[File:Adv_still_99_0010.png|thumb|{{Runes|GRISELDIS}} (Griseldis)]]
** For unknown reasons, in the Rumor of the Anonymous AI story section, Iroha's Doppel's name is "Griseldis" instead of "Giovanna". This however is not true for her unit "Doppel of Silence" in which it is shown that her name is still Giovanna. The image of "Griseldis" is still not patched as of May 2026.
*** Griseldis, also spelled as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griselda_(folklore) Griselda], is a figure in European folklore. Notably, a version of her tale was included in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decameron The Decameron] by the Italian writer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Boccaccio Giovanni Boccaccio], whose name is the masculine variant of Iroha's Doppel's name in Magia Record.
*** Given the Doppel's bird theme, it might also be a reference to the [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basra_reed_warbler Barsa reed warbler], or ''Acrocephalus griseldis''.
** Noticeably, due to the lack of chibi-styled Live2D Models, Giovanna's body part where it was supposed to connect to Iroha's hair was changed to dripping blood.
** From Version 2.7.1 onwards, Doppel of Silence Iroha was given new voice clips to differentiate from her Starada Futuro version, noticeably having a negative tone due to the corruptive nature of Doppels.
** Around Version 2.15.0 (December 21, 2025), Doppel of Silence Iroha also received a model update, fusing her with Giovanna, making her resembling Magia Record's [[Kyoko Sakura (Doppel)]] in a sense.
*** The ear-shaped hair on her flaps according to her motions.
*** This is due to player feedback of being unable to differentiate between Strada Futuro Iroha and Doppel of Silence Iroha, especially before the voice update as both Iroha share the same set of voice clips.

==Observations==
* The name of Iroha's witch, Giovanna, and the name of [[Yachiyo_Nanami|Yachiyo]]'s witch, Campanella, are a reference the famous Japanese novel [https://www.aozora.gr.jp/cards/000081/files/43737_19215.html Night on the Galactic Railroad], whose main characters were named Giovanni and Campanella. This, together with Campanella being the doppel of Ticket-clipping, is irony - in ''Night on the Galactic Railroad'', Campanella decides to answer a question in class instead of the shy Giovanni, only to stay ''silent'' so that Giovanni is less embarrassed, and it is Giovanni who ''owns the ticket to the galaxy''.
** For other references to his work, see [[Kenji Miyazawa and Magia Record]].
* The name Giovanna means 'God is gracious'. This may have something to do with Iroha's role in the story, ultimately being the one who frees her sister from her terrible fate as if it were a miracle - hence the fact she is a God like figure and later becomes Infinite Iroha. The guidebook says part of the inspiration of her doppel's design was 'a saint' (possibly hinting at the crown it wears) so this may hold some ground.
* Iroha has a lot of bird symbolism. Not only does a bird appear in her transformation and in the animation as one she chases after for the first part of the story, but it also becomes her cape that resembles a birds shape, and her doppel also is a calling bird. Birds are said to symbolize transcending limits and freedom, which Iroha eventually does after overcoming her fear and timidness.
** Iroha's hood is shown as being down on her 5-star battle sprite, which also represents her reaching her full potential.
* There are several instances in the anime where the number 168 is shown in various scenes that focus on Iroha. 168 can alternatively be read as "I-ro-ha".
* Since Iroha's doppel represents a calling bird this may be a reference to '[[wikipedia:The_Twelve_Days_of_Christmas_(song)|four calling birds]]' as Iroha was meant to be the fourth Magius leader. This also may be why her doppel is linked with Touka, Nemu and her sister Ui. The four of them were meant to make a group.
* Iroha's doppel, Giovanna may have a deeper meaning. The doppel represents not just Iroha's insecurities in herself but also the denial she carries throughout the story. She doesn't want to accept Ui being gone and thus keeps searching for her. Covering up everything she doesn't want to hear in 'cloth' meaning that she can't accept reality.
** This can also be interpreted as Iroha covering up anything that deters her from her main goal as she doesn't want to give up.
** Or as Iroha having trouble expressing herself, hence why it is the Doppel Of Silence.

==Etymology==
* The character of her last name means "ring" (環). This may refer to Soul Gems being stored as a ring when the user is untransformed.
** This is in comparison to Madoka which can be written as "circle" or "round" in kanji (円)
* She bears the same name as the Japanese pangram poem, the [[wikipedia:Iroha|Iroha]]. This poem is regarded as the ABC of the Japanese language, by a certain traditional ordering the first three hiragana, i-ro-ha, and contains every mora of the language exactly once."Iroha" starts like this: "Iro ha nioedo, chirinuru wo" (色は匂へど, 散りぬるを) - "though the flowers blossom fragrantly, they will eventually fall" - and continued on in this vein, talking fundamentally about the cycle of the seasons and of life and death. It was backed by a hidden message written with the last syllable of each line: "toga nakute shisu" (咎無くて死す) "die without wrongdoing". Together, the poem expresses a strong sentiment of "dying at peace and with honor".
** It may also refer to ''A''ccelle, ''B''last and ''C''harge also being A, B and C.

==Trivia==
* Her outfit resembles [[Shitori Egumo]] in its Embryo Eve state, with the dress itself and the gemstones decorating it resembling its body and her wings resembling the giant altar/Magius emblem it was initially chained to.
** Likewise, her Doppel appears to be a fusion of Giovanna and Shitori Egumo, or (as implied by its name still being Giovanna) merely transformed to resemble it. It is likely that this is because Infinite Iroha is a fusion of Iroha, Ui and Lil'Kyubey.
*** Her Doppel resembles [[:File:Giovanna_Eve-2.png|the similar fusion of Giovanna and Embryo Eve]] as seen in the [[Magia Record Episode 25: No One Knows Our Record|final episode]] of the [[Magia Record Anime]]
* Her Magia and Doppel attacks both feature a magical seal containing text in an unknown script. This same script is featured on her Doppel's giant crossbow.
* The preview image for the Puella Historia arc contains all the associated Magical Girls in release order, starting from top left to lower right.
** In order, the Magical Girls featured are [[Tsuyu Mizuna]], [[Chizuru]], [[Ebony]], [[Gunhild]], [[Olga]], [[Heruka]], [[Toyo]] and [[Amaryllis]].

'''Durbar''' ({{Runes|DURBAR}}) is a [[witch]] from the mobile game [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]].

|desc_english= The ikigami witch. Her nature is ablutions.
A Witch that perpetually cleanses herself of her sins. In order to wash away the sins soaked deep into her core, she must soak herself thoroughly in water at all times. The countless eyes on her tongue see into the future, but she has got no time for that, instead worrying about the unending impurities ahead. She is fated to purify herself, only ceasing once all her sins are gone. Those who interrupt her purification will be attacked by floods of water and bolts of lightning, and when her sins trickle down upon the intruder, their souls will be stained to death.
|desc_japanese= イキガミの魔女その性質は視常に自身の不浄を洗い流そうとしている魔女。核に至るまで染まった不浄を洗い流すため、24時間ひたすら水を被っている。舌にある無数の眼で未来を見通す力をもつらしいがいつまで経てど浄化されていない未来の姿に思い悩んでばかりいるため、他のことを見る余裕はあまりない様子。己の穢れが全て拭われるその日まで魔女は禊を止めないだろう。禊を邪魔する者は落雷と水流で責め尽くし自身から滴り落ちた穢れで染め殺してしまう。

These minions are always clinging to their Witch's feet so they can attend to her needs. The holy water that gushes forth from their Witch's purification rites can cause them to dissolve, so they are always running around to dodge it. Still, their passion for their charge holds strong - they will not leave her side until the day comes when she is completely purified. However, they feed upon the sins that gush out of her to survive, so they will be in for a rough ride if she does manage to cleanse herself completely.
|desc_japanese= イキガミの魔女の手下。その役割は侍従魔女の面倒を見るため、常に魔女の足元にまとわりついている手下。魔女の禊によって流れてくる浄化の水を被ると消滅してしまうのでいつも右往左往しているが、それでも主を慕い禊が終わる時を心待ちとして離れることはない。ちなみに、魔女から洗い流されてくる穢れを餌として生きているため、魔女が完全浄化されてしまうとそれはそれで困ってしまうらしい。

==In Magia Record==

==Trivia==
* ''Ikigami'', literally meaning "living god", is a Japanese religious term that [http://what-when-how.com/religious-movements/ikigami-religious-movement/ essentially refers to a human who has obtained holiness]. They are somewhat analogous to Catholic saints.
**In the NA server of the game, it is translated as "Saintly".
* In the original Japanese, the words for "purification" and "impurity" found in the descriptions of the witch and her familiars are respectively ''[[wikipedia:Misogi|misogi]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Kegare|kegare]]''. Both are Shinto terms; Misogi is a form of ritual purification, while kegare is a religious taint caused by "unclean" things such as death or illness.
*[[wikipedia:Durbar_(court)|Durbar]] is an Indian word that referred to a king's royal court.
** Durbar is also the name of “[[wikipedia:Kathmandu_Durbar_Square|Durbar Square]]” which is the last place a young girl touches the ground before becoming a Kumari.
* She may be based on a Kumari or "Living Goddess", a girl whose feet never touch the ground as they are believed to be possessed by a goddess of some kind.
** This is supported by the fact she seems to lack feet entirely, is noted to be the witch of ikigami or living gods and her Witch Kiss looking like the ''agni chakshu'' mark that is painted on the forehead of a kumari.
** This is also supported due to there being Kumari’s in the Indian city of [[wikipedia:Patan,_Gujarat|Patan]], which is what her familiar is named after. Her familiars also crawl beneath her "feet", which corresponds to those who gain an audience with a kumari kiss her feet.
* Durbar's witch description was altered after she was added to the game.
**The description was: "A witch who is always trying to wash and cleanse herself. She tries to be clean, but no stain or curse falls off, and she is concerned 24 hours a day about purifying herself. Apparently she can foretell the future a little bit ahead and tell what will happen. She hates impurity and dislikes blood a lot. (常に自分を洗い清めようとしている魔女。清廉であろうとするも穢れも呪いも落ちず、自分を清めることに24時間気を遣っている。ちょっとだけ先の未来を予知して教えてくれるらしい。不浄を嫌うので、血がとても苦手。)"
** Her dislike of blood may also refer to the kumari, since a kumari can never bleed as that is said to indicate the goddess leaving her body. This causes a typical kumari's tenure to end with her first menstruation.

{{nihongo|'''Haruka Kanade'''|奏遥香|Kanade Haruka}} is one of the main characters in ''[[Puella Magi Suzune Magica]]''.

==General Info==
{{Magical Girl Details
|age=15

|weight=50.2 kg
|eyes=Yellow
|hair=Blonde

|origin=[[Hohzuki City]]

==Personality==
The leader of the Hohzuki magical girls, and a respectable, well-behaved student yet this can be interpreted as a facade as she feels the pressure of being a perfectionist. Haruka was once resentful and easily jealous of her sister who was praised for everything she did. Haruka may feel inferior to others because of this and puts up a cheerful and smiling image to try to live up to the sister she once had. Haruka feels guilt over how childish she used to be and what her hidden hatred led her to wish for. One could say she is secretly emotionally unstable.

==Story==
===Backstory===
Haruka once held a large animosity towards her older sister, Kanata, who was loved and praised by everyone while Haruka was overlooked. This led to her making a wish to erase Kanata from existence.

===Haruka during ''Suzune Magica''===
Haruka Kanade, a senior on the school council, is performing morning greeting exercise. Haruka explains that it's a way of making sure of everyone's attendance, and tells Arisa to be sure not to arrive late. Arisa, Chisato, Matsuri and Haruka then depart for classes, with Arisa and Chisato continuing onto maths class, and Matsuri to P.E.
After school , Haruka telepathically summons the Hohzuki quartet to a meeting on the school roof to discuss the Ripper rumors and the serial murders that started occurring in a neighboring city a month ago. While Haruka discusses details unknown to the public, namely that the victims are teenage girls who have been stabbed by something larger than a knife, the other girls mention the possiblity of a witch being the culprit. Haruka urges caution as they transform and head out to patrol the city.

As the patrol the city, Haruka is apprehensive that neither Chisato or Arisa have been responding for some time. Haruka and Matsuri come across Suzune after she's already killed Chisato and beaten up Arisa. Haruka uses her charm ability to keep Suzune focused on her so Matsuri can grab Arisa and escape. After discussing the situation in the park with Matsuri as Arisa recovers, Haruka is shocked to discover Suzune is a girl from their school. Kyubey appears and apologizes for not warning the girls sooner. At school, Haruka runs into Suzune and demands to know why she is killing magical girls but Suzune refuses to give her an answer.

Haruka attends Chisato's funeral and has an argument with Arisa, with Arisa furious at Haruka and Matsuri for having abandoned Chisato in the alley and only rescuing her. Haruka argues that Chisato was already dead and all of them would have been killed by Suzune had they remained behind. Arisa calls her perfect and able to do anything she wants to, which is everything Chisato admired about her, before stomping off. This causes Haruka to cry out in grief.

At school, Haruka is visibly distracted as noticed by her classmates. As she leaves school, she is too distracted to notice she has walked into a witch's barrier. Her soul gem is already heavily corrupted as she transforms into a magical girl to take on the witch. However, the witch attacks her with a liquid of some kind which causes Haruka to recall painful memories of her past and her older sister who she wished would disappear. As Haruka finally defeats the witch, she regrets the wish she made and declares she only fights witches because she can't bear the guilt and not for the sake of the people she saves. Suzune appears and is about to kill her when Arisa and Matsuri appear, having used Matsuri's ability to track her down. Arisa apologiez to Haruka, only to have Haruka apologize as well and blame herself for everything. Haruka's soul gem hatches into a grief seed and light bursts forth, revealing Haruka's witch form.

As Arisa asks where Haruka went, Suzune nods towards the witch informing them that that is Haruka. Shocked, Arisa calls Suzune dumb, stating that creature is clearly a witch, the creatures they are always fighting. Suzune agrees, and tells them to go kill the witch like they always do but in doing so they will be killing their fellow magical girls with their own hands. Matsuri questions if Haruka really did turn into a witch but Suzune doesn't care if they believe her or not as long as they stay out of her way. Haruka's witch form attempts to blast energy beams at Suzune, who dodges most of them but not before an energy beam scorchers her shoulder. Holding her sword, she summons swords of flame that shoot out, destroying the disco balls that shot the energy beams. As Suzune races in to finish the witch off before it can recover, Haruka's witch form screams and casts its charm magic on Suzune, causing her to freeze on the spot. The witch charges up an even greater energy beam from its giant eye to kill Suzune with, but more flame swords rain down on it, stabbing it in the eye and causing the witch to scream in pain. Suzune rushes forward once more and pierces the witch with her sword, shattering its eye and unleashing a blast of light from which Arisa and Matsuri catch a momentary glimpse of Haruka in human form before the barrier and witch disappear.

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

==Powers and Abilities==
Haruka uses a dual-bladed spear as her weapon. The spear can be split into two separate spears.

She specializes in charm magic; however, the only charm she has been seen using is a charm to call an opponent's attention to herself, which makes them freeze when the spell is released. This charm likely comes from how Haruka wanted attention from others, but was overshadowed by Kanata.

==Observations==
* Haruka shares several traits with [[Mami Tomoe|Mami]]: a yellow colour scheme; a leadership role, being a well-respected third-year senior at school; a wish for herself that she heavily regrets; being a "princess"-like character; having styled hair of some sort (Mami has her drills, whereas Haruka has a small plait on the side and has tied her hair at the end); wearing tights in both her normal and magical outfits and a hat with her magical girl outfit.
* Haruka has an eye on her hat. Interestingly, the witch that torments her with memories of her past has a distinct eye motif.

==Etymology==
* Haruka's first name is spelled with the kanji for "distant fragrance".
** "Haruka" can be alternatively read as "distant", which matches with Kanata.
* Her last name, Kanade, means "to play music".

==Trivia==
* According to a tweet by GAN:
** Haruka was designed because GAN wanted to draw a "blonde princess"-like character.
** Her costume became more revealing over time as it was designed.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563658427344236544</ref>
* Haruka's witch form, Odette, may be a reference to one of the main characters of the Swan Lake ballet.
** Odette is the female lead in the ballet, and is a girl who is, alongside several other girls, cursed by an evil sorcerer to become swans every day. Only for a brief moment at night they return to their original form. The male lead Siegfried, a prince, falls for her, but the evil sorcerer disguises his daughter Odile to resemble her and fools Siegfried into declaring his love for her instead. In the end, this is resolved but the two drown in the lake, or, in some versions, either they end up getting an happy ending after defeating the evil sorcerer, or they both turn into swans and fly away. Odile being preferred by Siegfried over Odette could reflect Haruka's relationship with her older sister Kanata being preferred over by their parents. Similar to the play, by the time Haruka realized her wish was a mistake, it was too late for her.

NepetaLeijon27: /* Observations */

==History==
===Games===
====Madoka Magica Portable====
Ophelia and her familiars make their debut in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. Ophelia appears in [[Madoka_Magica_Portable_Kyoko_Route|Kyoko's Route]] if met with the right conditions. She also appears as a boss in the Oblivious barrier on floor 30. Her familiars can appear in any Mysterious Witch's barrier.

Kyoko and [[Madoka]] try to save [[Sayaka]] who's transformed into [[Oktavia]] but find that [[Homura]] has already killed her. Kyoko is furious at her and if her Soul Gem is dark enough, Homura's words make Kyoko realize how meaningless her life is now. She laughs and says she can't save anyone she loves and will instead curse the world. Kyoko turns into Ophelia but is killed by Homura.

====[[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]]====
=====In-Game ([[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description=====
The Doppel of abandonment. Its form is a Wǔdàn. The master of this emotion doesn’t trust its mysterious power, she only borrows its weapon and wields it herself. To the master, it's no more than a hateful thing that drags up her painful past due to its power, a dubious hypnotic magic that controls mist to produce illusions. But even still, it possesses her regrets, hidden deep in her heart, so she allows it to aid her somewhat in battle, though she remains suspicious of it.
The Doppel itself is the fluttering kimono-like thing, while the candlestick holder the master rides is a separate being altogether.

''(This is the second version of the Doppel description. The Japanese text of the first version can be found the gallery, and a translation below)''

The Doppel of abandonment. Its form is a Wǔdàn. The master of this emotion doesn’t trust her Doppel’s suspicious power, and borrows its weapon to attack instead. Even without its weapon, however, this Doppel is adorned with a variety of craftwork, which it uses to support its master by projecting mist from its sleeves, hypnotizing enemies with the pattern on its inner lining, and so forth.
The candle holder upon which its master stands is adorned with not just horse legs, but also the head of the master’s younger sister. Though listless, it stands ever upright and protects its master. Should the master ever decide to exhaust everything she has, both she and her Doppel will become the flame atop the candle holder, and her sister will likely vanish along with them.

=====[[Kyoko_Sakura_(Swimsuit_ver.)|Swimsuit]] version description=====
The Doppel of self-abandonment. Its form is a warrior actress.
The master of this emotion doesn’t trust her Doppel’s enigmatic power, but since she’s temporarily become able to swim, she’s actually on cloud nine. And though she normally views her Doppel as nothing but loathsome, it can use its hypnosis magic to project a vision of swimming freely through the sea, which transforms it into a source of elation for its master. This is also reflected in its method of attack: the Doppel has fused with a large mirror, with which its master can collect the sunlight beaming down behind her and concentrate it into a ferocious heat ray. If there is nothing left to attack, they ride away on the candle holder (now a sea turtle) and swim along with the fish.

===Events===
====Madogatari====
Ophelia and her familiars are shown with a description similar to their Portable profile, but slighty expanded. For Ophelia, "She holds a will-o'-wisp within her body, always quietly burning herself away" is added as the third sentence, and Zoe has "Are they in the midst of a pilgrimage to somewhere? Or perhaps it's a funeral march?" in the same place.

=====Ophelia=====
The witch of wǔdàn. Her nature is self-abandonment. A witch who eternally wanders with hollow footsteps within the fog. She holds a will-o'-wisp within her body, always quietly burning herself away. She can no longer remember what the horse that always accompanied her was.

=====Zoe=====
The wǔdàn witch's minions, whose task is to march. They continually walk through the fog in an orderly fashion. Are they in the midst of a pilgrimage to somewhere? Or perhaps it's a funeral march? Their master, the witch, never draws close to these familiars.

==Observations==
*Ophelia can be thought of as a [[wikipedia:Headless_Horseman|headless horseman]].
** Technically, the witch seems to have an eye below the flame, making Ophelia more of a candle-headed horseman. The impression of being headless is likely intentional, as the witch's "head" is flat enough to resemble a neck.
**In Kyouko's puppet show in episode 7, candles are strongly associated with her father. They appear next to him several times, most notably during a sermon. When she describes how he killed the rest of her family and hung himself, his puppet falls with its head consumed by flame and ignites the rest of the puppets.
*Ophelia's familiars are colorfully attired warriors, most of whom march around aimlessly. To attack they retract their humanoid heads and stretch out dragon-like heads, then either attack directly or breathe fire. Those carrying torches can also summon more familiars.
*There are various colored fish swimming in her barrier. They are part of the scenery and not actually familiars. Fish have various symbolic meanings:
**Early Christians used a [[wikipedia:Ichthys|fish symbol]] to represent the Christian faith.
**In Buddhism, fish can represent abundance and fertility, or living beings who practice the dharma need have no fear to drown in the ocean of suffering, and can freely migrate (chose their rebirth) like fish in the water.
**Adaptability, change, and transformation in Greco-Roman, East Indian, and Norse mythology.
**Goldfish are associated with fortune and wealth. One of the [[wikipedia:Ashtamangala|eight auspicious signs]] of Buddhism is a pair of goldfish, representing the state of fearless suspension in a harmless ocean of [[wikipedia:Samsara|samsara]].
*It is suggested that [[:File:Blu_ray_mermaid_unicorn_ep_9.jpg|the symbolism of the unicorn]] represents innocence. The fact that Ophelia is riding a horse, instead of a unicorn, has been speculated that the horse represents the loss of innocence and nobility. The image ingrains the idea that the unicorn has lost its horn along with its splendor and that it has become a regular equestrian animal
** If a unicorn is a symbol of purity and grace, then this may imply Kyoko lost both before she turned into the witch
*The spear was the symbol of the god [[wikipedia:Wōden|Wodan]] and the most common weapon in Germanic armies; it was cheap to produce because it didn't need much iron and most types could be used for both stabbing or throwing. Most Germanic horsemen carried a shield and a spear though the footmen sometimes carried multiple spears; at the start of a battle these were thrown at the enemy and the last one was saved for close combat. According to Tacitus, the Germans were able to throw these spears immense distances.
*Horse meat is known as "sakura" in japan, which is also Kyoko's last name.
* Ophelia's familiars are based off the ''[[wikipedia:Rokuro-kubi|rokurokubi]]'', a type of Japanese supernatural creature that look like normal humans by day but gain the ability to elongate their necks at night.
** The rokurokubi are related to the ''[[wikipedia:Nukekubi|nukekubi]]'', a similar monster that detaches its head completely. This may tie into Ophelia resembling a headless horseman.
* Ophelia might be based off the Little Matchstick Girl, since it is written by the same writer of the Little Mermaid, {{Spoiler|Sayaka's witch form}}, Hans Kristian Andersen.
** This is further supported by one of Kyoko's final lines being "Please, God... Look at the life I've lived. Please, let me have a happy dream, for once in my life." This directly parallels the text of the Little Matchstick Girl, where she passes away getting to experience one last happy dream.<ref>https://archive.org/details/fairytalesfromha00ande3/page/180/mode/2up</ref>
*[[wikipedia:Ophelia|Ophelia of Shakespeare's Hamlet]] was a young woman who had a famous and highly romanticized suicide. While she lived, Ophelia's main conflict was between obeying her father or her love interest. She had a fear of intimacy and eventually went mad under the pressure of her father's death and her lover's rejection of her. Kyoko lost her family (her father being the driving force behind that) and was spurned by Sayaka.
**Ophelia's famous death scene is represented in various paintings, including one painting by [[Wikipedia:File:Millais_-_Ophelia.jpg|Millais]].
**Shakespeare readers have interpreted the Ophelia character to be linked to the idea of regret, corrupted innocence, and unrequited love.
**Ophelia's death by drowning could connect to the witch's head being a lit candle (which would thus go out upon being in water) and Sayaka's water motifs. In [[And I'm home]], Kyouko is shown submersed in water in her last moments.
*Her name could also be a reference to the anti-slavery novel [[wikipedia:Uncle_Tom%27s_Cabin|Uncle Tom's Cabin]] by [[wikipedia:Harriet_Beecher_Stowe|Harriet Beecher Stowe]]. In the book, there is a character named Ophelia St. Claire, who disagrees with the idea of slavery but still holds highly prejudiced views against black people. This could mirror how Kyoko agrees that killing all familiars would be the ideal, but she still goes after anyone who does it.

==Etymology==
*The name Ophelia is derived from the Greek οφελος (ophelos), meaning "help". This name was probably created by the 15th-century poet [[wikipedia:Jacopo_Sannazaro|Jacopo Sannazaro]] for a character in his poem 'Arcadia'.[http://www.behindthename.com/name/ophelia]

==Trivia==
*The official website for [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable]] refers to Ophelia as the witch of ''wǔdàn'' (武旦). A [[wikipedia:Peking_opera#Dan|wǔdàn]] is a fierce female warrior in traditional Chinese opera.
*Ophelia is fought on a narrow, confined area blocked off on either side by her barriers, somewhat reminiscent of the alley where Kyoko fought Sayaka in [[Episode 5]]. It allows her to maximize her use of Rosso Fantasma (previously a lost ability to Kyoko) to create duplicates of herself. These duplicates are not purely illusionary. They are capable of powerful melee attacks. Ophelia can transform into a spear for a long-range attack.
*Ophelia's witch kiss looks like a [[wikipedia:Banner#Heraldic_banners|heraldic banner]].

|Kyoko's witch form 
Kyoko's witch can generate separated bodies, similar to the effect of Rosso Fantasma. She can also assault by becoming a lance form. Her familiars can shoot fireballs or slash with their deformed heads. Homura fights Kyoko's witch by herself. It is better to utilize her magic to stop time and attack with powerful weapons to beat multiple enemies at once.

Talk:Emiri Kisaki

2026-06-29T07:20:45Z

NepetaLeijon27: /* Magia name */ new section

Where are we getting the info that Emiri's wish is to be closer to her older sister? If I recall, she never mentions her wish directly other than saying she wished to be a cute little devil. I don't remember that we hear what her wish is exactly, even in her side story. I'll leave it as Older sister if we have something more concrete than just the episode where they listed wishes. But i don't think it means that that was her wish. I'm not sure the wishes correspond 1:1 to every girl in magireco.[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 16:28, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
::I just stumbled upon this on Reddit; [https://www.reddit.com/r/magiarecord/comments/eqf4io/emiri_to_receive_the_next_unlock_on_jp/fer5yip/ apparently Emiri mentions this in one of her hidden voice lines], and apparently it's also mentioned with her Christmas outfit. Browsing around, there's also [https://magireco.moe/index.php?title=%E6%9C%A8%E5%B4%8E%E8%A1%A3%E7%BE%8E%E9%87%8C&variant=zh a Japanese wiki] that lists that as her wish under a spoiler. - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 07:53, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

== Nicknames ==

Emiri gives (nearly?) everyone a nickname when she first meets them. Does anyone have a list of these nicknames? It might be nice to add that to this article. [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:44, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

:I got started on a list but I'm sure there's some missing ones and possibly some minor errors. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 04:50, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

== Powers ==

Where does it say that Emily's power is "charm"? In the game mechanics it's bewitch/dazzle, and in Rumours in Disguise I noticed that she's said to use illusion magic. I think illusion fits better as an explanation for "bewitch" than it does for "charm", though I think it could potentially explain either. Is there an actual source that states she uses charm magic, though? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 04:36, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
:In the [https://images.puella-magi.net/2/2c/Emiri_01.jpg?20190924140717 MagiReco Archive Volume 1], it states her ability is "チャーム", hence why it is listed as such. I could see the argument for calling it illusion magic considering the way they've been using it in some events (like making a fake Mami to cover up the major plothole in the valentine's event). And if it were in the kanji that the status effect uses yeah, I'd put illusion but it's written in katakana. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 12:55, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
::Ahh, cool. I ''thought'' it might be from the Archive, but I'm not able to read it so I couldn't confirm. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:37, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

== Magia name ==

While it is obviously a long, long time ago, I do remember that Emiri's Magia was named "My Sadistic Heart" in the earlier days of Magia Record. I also do remember that it got changed, but I don't quite remember when that was. Shouldn't it be noted? --[[User:NepetaLeijon27|NepetaLeijon27]] ([[User talk:NepetaLeijon27|talk]]) 07:20, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

A '''Soul Gem''' is a gem birthed from a contract with a [[Kyubey|messenger of magic]]. It is the proof that one is a [[Magical Girl]] and the source of their magical power.

The Soul Gem is produced upon contracting by extracting the contractee's soul and giving it physical form. When they use their magic, experience strong negative emotions, or sustain physical injuries, the Soul Gem gathers impurities and becomes. When tainted by impurities, the Soul Gem loses its shine and becomes progressively darker. The only way to rid it of its darkness is to extract it with a [[Grief Seed]] or [[Grief Cube]]. Furthermore, purifying a Soul Gem—whether using a Grief Seed or a Grief Cube—does not just cleanse the accumulated corruption, but also restores the magical energy used by the Magical Girl, a rule first explained by [[Mami Tomoe]] in [[Episode 2]].

Physical contact with the Soul Gem is required for a [[Magical Girl]] to transform. When not transformed, a Magical Girl's Soul Gem typically takes its default "egg" form, or may be turned into a ring at will to be worn for easier transportation. When in ring form, the band will display its owner's name written in [[Runes]
On the other side of the Soul Gem in its ring form, a small hole appears showing the colored gem (the same color as its egg and transformed shapes). Additionally, when a Soul Gem is in its ring form, Magical Girls always wear it on the middle finger of. When the Soul Gem is in its ring or egg form, there is a mark on the fingernail of the middle finger. This mark can be identical to or different from the bottom emblem (also called the central emblem), the top emblem, or the transformed shape. When transformed, the gem will change appearance and become incorporated into its owner's costume. The gem's costumed form most often takes on the appearance of one of the two symbols, which may or may not be the same symbol repeated, on the top and bottom/center of the gem in its "egg" form (e.g. [[Mami Tomoe]]'s becomes a flower, [[Rena Minami]]'s becomes an eighth note, etc.).

A Magical Girl is capable of using her Soul Gem to perform magic without transforming: she can merge the gem with a normal object to temporarily imbue it with magic—which also alters its appearance until the Soul Gem is separated from it—or summon simplified forms of her weapons made of magical energy that extend from, and can be retracted into, the gem.

A [[Magical Girl]] must remain within 100 meters of their Soul Gem or their connection will be broken, and the girl will instantly lose consciousness.<ref name='madomagi6'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 6: This Just Can't Be Right]]</ref> If this connection is broken, it will only be re-established once physical contact between them has been made again.<ref name='madomagi6'/> Once separated within 100 meters, a Magical Girl's body has approximately 48 hours until it begins to decay.<ref name='portablesayaka'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route]]</ref> While transformed, a Magical Girl may be separated from their Soul Gem and retain their life and magic provided the distance between them does not exceed 100 meters<ref name='tartmagi10'>Shown in [[Tart Magica Chapter 10]]</ref>; however, if a Magical Girl is not already transformed and is separated from their gem while remaining within proper distance of it, they will be unable to transform<ref name='magirecoarc1ch9'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 Chapter 9: Closing In on Fendt Hope]]</ref> and, potentially, unable to use their unique magic. The connection between a Magical Girl and their Soul Gem can be broken by another using magic while still within 100 meters of each other.<ref name='kazumagi7'>Shown in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 7: Picking Gems]]</ref>

If the Soul Gem becomes too full of impurities and turns completely black, it will transform into a [[Grief Seed]], and its Magical Girl will become a [[Witch]]. This will completely sever the connection to the [[Magical Girl]]'s body, unless the Magical Girl was already using a [[Doppel]] at the time and leaving the boundary of the Automatic Purification System.<ref name='anireco24'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 24: How Long Do We Continue Being Magical Girls?]]</ref>
In addition to needing to maintain their Soul Gems purified to prevent the accumulation of impurities that would turn them into [[Grief Seeds]], Magical Girls must also ensure their gems are not destroyed or shattered.
If a Soul Gem is destroyed or shattered, the girl stops breathing, her skin turns pale, and she dies, leaving behind only an empty shell—a physical body devoid of a soul.<ref name='madomagi10'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore]]</ref><ref name='anireco12'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 12: Why Is This So Unbearable?]]</ref>

Soul Gems have a natural magic sense that allows Magical Girls to detect both generalized spikes in magic and specific magic signatures of Witches, other [[Magical Girl]]s as well as other magical creatures. Additionally, by looking through the Soul Gem Ring, certain things that have been hidden by magic are made visible and this seems to be a way for Magical Girls to spread messages between each other.<ref name='anireco17'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 17: Are You Okay With That?]]</ref>

==Trivia==
* While assigning a real-life gem to liken to Soul Gems is impossible, as no known gemstone is able to have the same color variety, it is possible to make a few educated guesses on the other scientific properties of Soul Gems.
** Crystal habit is the natural shape a gem grows into when it has enough space. Prismatic habit forms long pillars like tourmaline, equant habit forms roughly cube-like or roundish shapes like garnet, tabular habit makes flat plates like ruby and massive habit has no visible crystal faces and the gem looks like a rounded or blobby lump, such as jasper or turquoise. Soul Gems perfectly fit within the massive habit category.
** Soul Gems have been shown to sink in water, so it can be verified that their specific gravity is greater than 1.0 (the density of water), which is also true with most other gems. Further determining the specific gravity of Soul Gems, which is how heavy a gem feels compared to water, isn't possible, but they appear to be similar to heavy gems in this aspect.
** Soul Gems haven't been shown to be scratched, meaning they would rank highly on the Mohs hardness scale. Hardness is a surface property determined by atomic bond strength and the scale runs from 1 (talc, easily scratched by a fingernail) to 10 (diamond, cannot be scratched by any other natural material). With this in mind, Soul Gems would be deemed to have excellent hardness.
** The pattern with which they break is very irregular, meaning Soul Gems have no cleavage (the tendency of a gem to split cleanly along flat, weak planes inside its crystal structure). Fracture is the property for how a gem breaks when it does not follow cleavage planes, thus a Soul Gem's fracture type would also be categorized as uneven.
** Luster describes how light reflects off the gem's surface. Vitreous luster is glass-like and the most common, adamantine is diamond-like and very brilliant, resinous looks like honey, and pearly shows a soft, rainbow-like sheen. With the exception of [[Yusa Yumeno]]'s Soul Gem, which is either vitreous or adamantine, all other Soul Gems have been shown to be resinous. Aditionally, transparency tells how much light passes through, so transparent gems are see-through like glass, translucent gems let light through but blur the image, and opaque gems let no light through at all. Yu's Soul Gem would be transluscent until it is polluted, while other Soul Gems would likely be on the range between translucent and opaque.
** Usually, most Soul Gems have one color, with the exception of [[Uwasa Mikoto]]'s which has two. However, as her gem doesn't actually change color based on the different angles, it is not actually dichromic, but simply multicolored.
** Refractive index measures how much a gem bends light and in this aspect, despite their own inner light shining through, Soul Gems would have a low refractive index as light would not pass through them. The exception to this would again be Yu's glass-like Soul Gem.
** Importantly, toughness or tenacity is a gem's resistance to breaking, chipping, or crushing. This is different from hardness, as a brittle gem like diamond is very hard but can chip or shatter if hit hard. A tough gem like jade is softer but very difficult to break, even with a hammer. Soul Gems can be broken, but the toughness of a Soul Gem seems relatively high in this case as well, comparable to jade, as only acts of Magical Girl strength, or firearms have been the only tools shown to have broken them.
*** Based on these properties, the closest real-world gem to a typical Soul Gem would be jade (specifically nephrite or jadeite). Jade shares the massive habit, complete lack of cleavage, uneven to splintery fracture, and exceptional toughness that makes it nearly unbreakable without extreme force. Its hardness of 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale means it resists scratching well, though it cannot compete with diamond. Jade also sinks in water and falls into the heavy specific gravity range. The main mismatch is luster since Soul Gems are described as resinous, while jade is greasy to vitreous. If the resinous inner glow is the most important visual trait, then opal or amber would be better matches for luster and low refractive index, but they are far too soft and brittle. So structurally, jade is the closest match, but no single real gem perfectly combines jade’s toughness with opal’s resinous light, not to mention the color variety unseen in any gemstone in the world.
* The shape that Soul Gems take, resembles that of [[wikipedia:Fabergé egg|Fabergé eggs]]. This could be an intentional design choice, since Soul Gems can be said to be "eggs" that "hatch" into Grief Seeds.

====Doppel description====
The Doppel of temptation. Its form is serpent berries.
While the master of this emotion feels an affinity for her Doppel, which behaves as it pleases without any concept of good or evil, she also feels her own immaturity emanating from it.
This Doppel speaks directly into one’s brain via ultrasonic tones, giving affirmation to anything and everything. The confidence and courage it grants are enough to wipe away any concern one may have.
Its comfortable words lead people to develop a great dependence on them, but because it well-meaningly affirms even people’s aggressive or malicious emotions ad infinitum, it may unintentionally guide its targets towards the worst possible actions.

==Trivia==
*Shalimar is the name of a perfume that became associated with the 'bad girl' type due to many flapper girls wearing it during the 1920's.

}}

==History==
===Games===
====Madoka Magica Portable====
Quitterie makes her first and only appearance in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. She doesn't make an appearance in the main game and only appears as a boss in the Oblivious Barrier on floor 49. Her Familiars can appear in any Mysterious Witch's Barrier. She wears a costume during her fight that resembles [[Kyubey]] and her Familiars resemble plush toys of Kyubey too. Her Barrier is a simple grassy field and she doesn't drop a [[Grief Seed]].

==Observations==
* Quitterie's jacket has a galaxy-like design, along with her Kyubey Head; this could theme Kyubey's goal of saving the universe
* A humanoid silhouette appears in front of her while she charges up before certain attacks. This may be Quitterie's original magical girl form.
* Quitterie is a rare feminine French name, most likely derived from the Latin 'quietus', meaning "quiet, calm."
* Some also link the name to the Greek 'Κύθηρα', "Kythira", a Greek island which was consecrated to the ancient goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite.
* [[wikipedia:Quiteria|Saint Quiteria]] was a 5th century virgin martyr and saint. Nothing is certain about Quiteria except her name and her cult. Her name is a title that the Phoenicians gave to the goddess Astarte: Kythere, Kyteria, or Kuteria, which means "the red one," which some take to mean that she might be a fictional saint.
** When Quiteria was beheaded, her falling head hit the ground and a water fountain sprang up from the spot. Coincidentally, a bishop [[wikipedia:fr:Sainte_Quitterie#La_l.C3.A9gende_toulousaine|named Faust]] made a sermon that day with a reference to the miracle that converted the entire city area into Christianity.
* Her real form bears a resemblance to and may be based on the [https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Pincushion_Man Pincushion Man] from the 1935 animated short film ''[[wikipedia:Balloon_Land|Balloon Land]].''

==Trivia==
* Upon her death, the Witch will fall over backwards. The Kyubey head will fall off, and there is a glimpse of the Witch's real head.
* She is the same type of Witch as [[Latria]], in that they're both "The Needle(s) Witch".
* For some reason, Quitterie's minion is labelled "(33/3)" below its name. Whether this is a bug or intentional is unknown.
** If the label is intentional, 33/3 could refer to Jeremiah 33:3 of the Bible: "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.", which might be related to Quitterie's relationship with Kyubey.
** A : with a 3 directly after it is also commonly used as a cat smile emoji :3, which is the face that Kyubey is permanently stuck in.

}}

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Kagari during [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]]===
See [[Magia Record Story Memorable Flower]]

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Butterfly symbolism===
Butterflies have [[wikipedia:Butterfly#Symbolism|many symbolic meanings]] in different cultures and lore.
* Butterflies are generally associated with transformation.
* Butterflies can also represent death and rebirth. This is because the greek word for 'butterfly' also means 'soul' (psyche). In Mexico, Dia de los Muertos is held at the same time of the monarch butterfly migration; they are seen as a metaphor of the souls of the dead coming back just once.
* In Japanese lore, butterflies are the personifications of souls as well; note that Kagari's soul gem is in the center of a butterfly's body, and over her chest as well.
** [https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Kwaidan:_Stories_and_Studies_of_Strange_Things/Butterflies According to Lafcadio Hearn], butterflies could represent both the souls of the living and the dead, and that it was a custom for the soul to take the shape of a butterfly to announce its final departure.
** The ancient Greek word for butterfly means "soul" or "mind".
* Two butterflies flying together represents love.
* People in Devonshire would traditionally rush to kill the first butterfly they see in a year, or else face a year of bad luck.
* In the Philippines, a lingering black butterfly or moth in the house is taken to mean that someone in the family has died or will soon die.
* Kagari's butterfly motif might refer to the phenomenon known as the "butterfly effect", referring to how a small change in time leads to large consequences; Kagari in fact invokes the butterfly effect by altering Suzune's memories slightly and erasing Matsuri's of Suzune, changing their paths in life significantly and with disastrous consequences.

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

==Trivia==
* According to tweets from GAN:
** Kagari was designed in the middle of the story.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563951034020536320</ref>
** Her name was taken from the "kagaribibana", or "cyclamen".<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563952063189487617</ref>
*** In the Japanese language of flowers, the kagaribibana can represent different things depending on the colour. Red kagaribibana represent jealousy (note that Kagari's eyes and soul gem are red-coloured, and her theme colour is purple, which is made from red) and pink kagaribibana represent shyness (note that Kagari's soul gem is also a shade of pink, and her theme colour, purple, is a colour similar to pink).<ref>http://hanakotoba.mimoza.jp/name-k/kagaribibana.html</ref>
** She is the only main character with only a katakana name in-story because GAN could not find an opportunity to put her kanji name in.<ref>https://twitter.com/oshirase_gan/status/563664234563657728</ref>
===Magia Record===
* Kagari is the only major ''Suzune'' character without a character profile and is unplayable.
*There are notable differences in her design in Magia Record versus her design in Suzune Magica, such as her eye and Soul Gem color changing to purple and the frills on her dress from black to white.
*Her ID number was 4037.

NepetaLeijon27: /* Trivia */ please learn to distinguish sweets with an area where nothing grows, thank you

'''Raspberry''' ({{Runes|RASPBERRY}}) is a [[Witch]] that appears in the [[Magia Record Episode 12: Why Is This So Unbearable?|twelfth episode]] of the [[Magia Record Anime]]. She was shown in a flashback fighting against [[Yachiyo Nanami]]'s team prior to [[Mel Anna]] becoming a Witch and managed to escape from them. {{Spoiler|She is also the Witch form of [[Fuka Higure]], as revealed in [[Magia Exedra]].}}

==In the Anime==

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

==Powers and Abilities==

Ren's wish gave her the ability of 'Nirvana' in which she can erase Grief Seeds although it could extend to her having the ability to end lives with little to no pain. Her magical girl form gives her the ability to summon will-o-wisp like entities and send them raining down on an enemy in her Magia - Soul Salvation. She also has the ability to turn the wing on her staff into a Scythe to attack enemies with.

==Observations==
* Ren's character design is a dichotomy of two opposing symbols of the afterlife. Those being that of a modern depiction of an angel and a traditional depiction of a Yūrei ghost.
** Her Magical Girl form embodies an angelic motif; her weapon is a staff tipped with a feathered wing, her transformation sequence features her descending with expansive wings, and her five-star card art features a halo. This may be due to her wish, as it is a common belief that loved ones turn into angels when they die and go to heaven. It can also refer to when people survive hazardous events that should kill/wound them (such as suicide attempts), they say that they have a 'guardian angel'.
** Conversely, her attire incorporates symbolism of a Yūrei, a Japanese ghost bound to the world by unresolved anguish. Her white kimono is the color of death and mourning in Japanese culture, in which the dead are traditionally buried, and it is also worn with the right side over the left—a style only used to dress corpses for burial.
* Ren's name, Isuzu Ren (五十鈴れん), is a homophone for suzuran, the Japanese word for lily of the valley, which even Rika points out. In the language of flowers, it signifies "return of happiness," purity, and sweetness. This connection is made explicit when Rika engraves a suzuran design on Ren's pencil case. Furthermore, the halo in her five-star art is not a simple ring of light but is composed of lily of the valley flowers. They are also known to be deadly and specifically affect the heart, which may be reflected in Ren's own deathly symbolism and her Doppel being an EKG.
* When her Doppel, Renata (meaning "reborn" or "born again"), is summoned, Ren's soul is violently separated from her body, leaving her at least physically unconscious, or dead, while her spirit is active. The Doppel's method of attack, administering powerful electrical shocks, mirrors defibrillation used to resuscitate a dying patient.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "50" (五十) and "bells" (鈴) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Her illustrator, [https://twitter.com/pimopimo Sakura Koharu] of [[wikipedia:QP:flapper|QP:flapper]], also illustrated [[Amaryllis]].
* On September 15th, 2017, a botched update allowed players to get Ren before she was properly implemented. The developers subsequently decided to officially release Ren with an emergency update.
* To date, Ren is the only playable character with three unique memoria cards.
**Originally she was the only character with two unique memoria cards until 2024 with the release of '''Alina's Atelier ~Factor of Despair~'''.
* The Japanese text on the back of the memoria "You Are The Only Truth" is written backwards, hence the backwards English translation.
**When if it flipped, it reads the following. "Even if the fake impersonates your voice, and talks in your words | I will never be misled nor trust it. | I will find the real you out and bring you back by any means. | Let's go back. To the peaceful world..."

NepetaLeijon27: /* The name of the series itself */

Languages other than Japanese are extremely common in the Puella Magi franchise. As such, sometimes silly grammatical or semantic errors are made. This page is devoted to those errors.

== The name of the series itself ==

''Puella magī Madoka magica'' appears to be intended to translate to "magical girl, magical Madoka." However, ''puella magī'' is not the correct Latin way of rendering "magical girl," nor even the obvious error "girl of magic" — ''magī'' is the genitive singular of ''magus'', meaning "mage," so ''puella magī'' would translate to "girl of the mage." To render "magical girl" correctly, it may be better translated as ''puella magica''. ("Girl of magic" would be ''puella magiae''.) However, as unlikely as it may seem, there is a small chance that this is intentional and the "mage" refers to [[Kyubey]].

== Named attacks ==

=== [[Elisa Celjska]]: Der Drache Lindwurm ===

Ignoring the usage of her royal ex-father's German instead of the Slavic tongue she (and her mother Barbara Celjska, who essentially created the Order of the Dragon) would speak natively for her Magia name, which surely comes with some connotations that this editor is ill-equipped to unpack, ''der Drache Lindwurm'' is yet another instance of two entirely unconnected nouns being mashed together in an attempt to pass off as a noun phrase. They are both in the nominative singular, so it cannot be read as a possession phrase, and since it literally translates to "the dragon dragon" (or "the dragon wyvern" if you're being charitable) the intent is unclear at best.

Taking the assumption that it's meant to refer to "dragon <nowiki>[of the] wyvern [</nowiki>worn on [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Order_of_the_Dragon_Insignia.svg the Order's heraldry]<nowiki>]</nowiki>", as if Elisa is metaphorically giving the symbol of the Order of the Dragon physical form and attacking with it, the word ''Lindwurm'' should certainly be definite and in the genitive: ''des Lindwurm(e)s''. This would make a correct rendering of the name ''Drache des Lindwurmes'' or ''Drache des Lindwurms''.

=== [[Iroha Tamaki]]: Strada Futuro ===

''Strada'' is an Italian noun meaning "road," and ''futuro'' can be either a noun or adjective meaning "future." If it is a noun, it needs an additional particle (in this case ''del'') to be marked as possessive. Or if it is an adjective, it needs to inflect to match the (feminine) gender of ''strada''. Thus, it may be better translated as ''Strada del Futuro'' (if it is to be taken as "road of the future") or ''Strada Futura'' (if it is to be taken as "future road").

=== [[Momoko Togame]]: Edge of Universe ===

As "universe" is a non-proper, countable noun, it must always be bound to an article; thus, Momoko's Magia name would be better rendered as ''Edge of the Universe''.

=== [[Rumor Sana]]: Elektron Schwert ===

German for "Electron Blade," it is spelled in Japanese with the center dot that represents a word boundary (エレクトロン・シュヴェールト). However, German forms such compound nouns without a space in the middle, so it should be Elektronschwert (エレクトロンシュヴェールト).

=== [[Rumor Sana]]: shutdown -r -t 21 ===

shutdown is the Unix/Linux command to safely shut down a system. It must be run as the root user, and can take several command line flags to specify the type of shutdown, at what time the computer will shut down, and a message to broadcast to all users. In particular,
shutdown -r
tells the system to reboot. However, in a typical Linux system, there is no such flag as -t. [https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/shutdown.8.html The time is supplied to the command as a regular argument,] in one of three formats: now tells the system to execute the shutdown immediately, +''m'' tells the system to wait ''m'' minutes, and HH:MM tells the system to wait until HH:MM. To tell the system to reboot in 21 minutes, you would instead have to write
shutdown -r +21
However, in this Magia 2, Ai is seen initiating a crash instantaneously, so the 21 argument is completely extraneous and the command should instead be
shutdown -r now

=== [[Shizuku Hozumi]]: Myriad Meese ===

''Meese'' is a rarely-used English word that can either refer to an English river, to a surname, or to a humorous plural of ''moose'' by analogy with ''goose'', none of which make any sense in context. The official localization rendered her Magia name instead as ''Milia de Mense'', French for "thousand moons," in reference to the chakrams she summons.

=== [[Ui Tamaki]]: Luce Speranza ===

Like her sister's, Ui's Magia name is two Italian nouns mashed together (''luce'' meaning "light" and ''speranza'' meaning "hope"). However, ''luce'' can also be the third-person singular present indicative of ''lucere'', an intransitive verb meaning "to shine," so it could be interpreted as meaning "Hope shines!" — except that Italian only inverts the word order in ''dependent'' clauses{{Citation needed|title=not a native speaker and can't find a comprehensive grammar that states this, but those grammars that DO touch on inversion only bring it up in contexts such as a gerund argument of a preposition. actual confirmation would be greatly appreciated.}}, which a standalone attack name is not. As such, if it is to be treated as a verb phrase it may be better translated as ''Speranza Luce'', and if it is to be treated as a noun phrase as ''Luce della Speranza''.

=== [[Umika Misaki]]: X File ===

Pronounced {{nihongo|イクス・フィーレ|Ikusu Fīre}}. Like [[Pleiades Saints|her teammates]], Umika named her special attack with an Italian translation of the name of a TV series (The X-Files). However, the Italian word ''file'' in the attack name is specifically used for a "file" in computing; whereas the name of the show refers to a "file" (physical archive) of unexplained phenomena. As such, it may be better translated as ''X Archivio''.

== Names of witches ==

Misspelled witch names are extremely common in ''Kazumi Magica'', since all of the named witches have German words as names. These may have been intentional, since they are fairly prominent.

=== [[Airi Anri]]'s witch form: Nie Blühen Herzen ===

Translating to 'never blooming hearts', but 'Blühen' should be 'Blühende'; 'nie blühen herzen' would translate to 'never bloom hearts'.

=== [[Yuuri Asuka]]'s witch form: Arzt Kochen ===

The name of the witch was likely supposed to translate to 'cooking doctor', but the order of words makes it 'doctor cooking'.

== Song titles and lyrics ==

=== Naoki "naotyu-" Chiba — Forklore of 0 ===

This song was supposed to be named after the enigmatic [[Folklore of Zero|Folklore of 0]] faction. However, there is a silly error in the title, likely due to the Japanse r/l issue.

=== Yuki Kajiura — Wo ist die Käse? ===

The title and most prominent lyric of Nagisa's theme is intended to translate to "Where is the cheese?" However, ''Käse'' is a masculine noun, so it would take the article ''der''. This can be avoided by treating ''Käse'' as plural, so it takes ''die'' anyway regardless of its original gender, but then the verb is incorrectly conjugated — ''ist'' is third-person '''singular''' ("where '''is''' the cheeses?"), and the third-person plural would be ''sind''. As such, it may be better translated as either ''Wo ist der Käse?'' (singular cheese) or ''Wo sind die Käse?'' (plural cheese).

== Official translations ==

=== [[Puella Magi Tart Magica]] — [[Lapin]] ===

In the original Japanese, her name is spelled "Lapine". Lapine is the French word for a female rabbit. However, in the official English translation of Tart Magica, the spelling of her name is changed instead to "Lapin", which is the French word for a male rabbit.

== Former ==

=== Named attacks ===

==== [[Hinano Miyako]]: Atomo Arrabiata ====

Like all Magia names in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]'', Hinano's is rendered in both katakana (アトモ・アラビアート) and Latin script. In earlier versions of the game, the Latin script version incorrectly used the feminine version of the adjective for a masculine noun; this has since been fixed and her Magia name is correctly spelled ''Atomo Arrabiato'' in both scripts.

==== [[Masara Kagami]]: Imvisible Assassin ====

Like all Magia names in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]'', Masara's is rendered in katakana (インビジブル・アサシン) and Latin script. Originally, the official Latin script spelling was ''Imvisible Assassin''. In July of 2018, this was fixed; her Magia name now correctly reads ''Invisible Assassin'' in both scripts.

==Story==
===Backstory===
{{Spoilerbox|
As a young girl, Lapin was chosen alongside her sisters [[Minou]] and [[Corbeau]] to be among the first magical girls [[Isabeau]] contracted due to their closely interwoven fates.

Isabeau grew to become like a mother to the three girls she took in. However, she eventually turned into a witch and was poised to kill the three girls, of whom only Corbeau had as yet contracted to become a magical girl. This lead to Lapin making her wish for her mother to "return to how she was." Since the transformation from magical girl to witch is irreversible, her wish lead to Isabeau's witch mind inhabiting the now empty husk of her former physical body. Isabeau was no longer mindless and now retained her original powers that were granted to her from her own wish. Even so, she still retained her witch's ambition to destroy all of France.
}}

===During ''Tart Magica''===
Lapin first appears in Chapter 5, standing with Corbeau and Minou as they finish slaughtering the soldiers of Orleans, a stronghold that held four thousand soldiers. She jeers and taunts the last of the injured soldiers as Corbeau threatens him and Minou cuts off their retreat with her cat-o-nine tails. She's later seen singing and walking along the edge of the outermost walls of the city as she kicks the dismembered limbs of the dead soldiers off into the distance. Minou appears with [[Flèche]] and relays orders from their mother, informing Lapin that she and herself are to return for a short time and to leave Corbeau along with Fleche to handle [[Tart]], who is about to arrive at Orleans. Despite being upset that Corbeau "get(s) all the fun!", she complies with orders and returns home through Minou's portal. Back at the castle later that evening, Lapin is seen having a bath along with her two sisters and is overjoyed at the possibility of fighting Tart and her friends herself.

Several months later at the city of Patay, Minou, Corbeau and Lapin stand at the head of the English forces as Lapin relishes the idea of 'playing' with the French forces opposing them. Before Minou can say anything, Lapin had already began her attack on Tart, [[Riz Hawkwood|Riz]], [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]], and [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]]. Unfortunately, the four magical girls are able to deflect most of Lapin's initial attacks, hitting her with their weapons several times and causing Lapin’s soul gem to darken. Her soul gem transforms into a grief seed and hatches Lapin’s witch form.

After transforming, Lapin activates her ability to possess any and all weapons in her vicinity, including that of her English allies (with the exception of Tart and Elisa as their weapons have magical abilities imparted on them by [[Pernelle]]. She telepathically causes them to fly at her enemies and damaging them. She even forms a towering sword-like shape composed of the weapons she's amassed and drops it at the opposing magical girls. Tart is able to deflect this massive attack on her friends even as Lapin activates her secondary ability: the ability to cause magical girls to lose their magical girl state temporarily. As Lapin in her witch form continues to battle the magical girls, Corbeau takes this opportunity to continue her fight with Riz earlier. Elisa and Tart attempt to coordinate a surprise attack on Lapin, but the eyes on her cape have the same ability as her rabbit eyes and they both revert to normal girls temporarily. Despite this, the two girls are eventually able to distract Lapin and successfully defeat her with Elisa's rifle-turned-canon. However, her defeat only causes her to revert back into a magical girl, owing to the nature of her wish and the abilities it granted her. Minou retreats with an unconscious Lapin into one of her portals as Corbeau unleashes her ''Danse Macabre''. {{spoiler|After Corbeau's subsequent defeat at the hands of Tart, Minou finishes Corbeau off in the woods and tells Lapin that it was Tart that killed their sister.}}

A considerable time later, Minou has summoned an army of magical girls and subsequently transformed them into witches all of whom are poised to kill Tart and her friends. Minou has also summoned Lapin to this battlefield where she informs her of her chance to take revenge for the loss of their sister. Lapin is enraged and more than eager to tear them limb from limb. She begins by summoning her rabbit-shaped discs and impeding their magical girl transformations. Despite this, Riz is easily able to dodge her attacks and slashes at her rabbit-shaped discs as Lapin is not used to combat the way her sister Corbeau was. When Riz informs Lapin that it was in fact {{spoiler|Minou who killed her sister,}} this causes Lapin to snap with rage and abandon all thinking. Riz aims to shatter Lapin’s soul gem in order to prevent her from transforming into her witch form, but the news she received and the subsequent despair it caused her has instead only accelerated the impurities of Lapin’s soul gem. It is too late, as Lapin quickly becomes a witch continues her attacks on the girls.

The magical girls coordinate their attacks and unleash Melissa’s ultimate destructive move on Lapin. But it is not enough and Lapin reemerges from the bottom of the crater formed by the explosion, now human and her soul gem cleansed. Minou then causes a portal to appear beneath Elisa and Melissa and transports them to a different part of the castle in which they are battling. Tart and Riz are left to fend for themselves against not only Lapin's witch form, but the army of witches that are left from earlier. Tart and Riz begin to grow weary from the fighting and the amount of magic they've spent, causing Riz to charge her soul gem's power and throw a dagger at Lapin's feet. Shadows emerge from the dagger and wrap themselves around Lapin, effectively immobilizing her. As Tart calls out to her, Riz summons her ultimate attack, ''Gates of Hell''. {{spoiler|A large marble doorway comes up from the ground, skeletons adorning its framework. As the Gates of Hell begin to crack open, shadowy hands reach out from inside each of them grabbing at a different part of Lapin. She cries out for them to let go of her but they continue to hold on relentlessly as more hands reach out from the gate and grab at the witches in the area and pull them into the dark void that lurks behind the doors. Lapin continues to strain at the shadowy hands, crying out that nothing Riz does will make a difference since she'll keep coming back over and over again, returning to normal only for her to kill Riz no matter how many times it takes her. Riz acknowledges this, and informs her that she will be joining Lapin inside the black void of the gates to prevent her from escaping as the doors can only be opened from the outside. As Riz walks into the gate, Lapin is pulled into the darkness with her and the doors snap shut behind them, effectively ending Lapin's life.}}

===Lapin in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]===
See [[Lapin in Magia Record]]

==Powers and Abilities==
Lapin has the ability to turn back into a human after she turns into a witch. While in magical girl form, she uses a handheld scythe as her weapon and can summon rabbit-shaped discs that float about her. When the discs flash, magical girls lose their ability to remain in magical form for a limited time.

While in witch form, Lapin is able to summon all weapons in the vicinity to her side and is able to manipulate them at will, for example creating a wall of shields or raining various weapons down on her enemies. Her eyes can cause any magical girl to lose her ability to remain in magical girl form as well as the eyes on her cape.

==Observations==
* Lapin is the eldest of the three sisters despite her childish personality and physical looks and is very fond of her younger sisters.
* However, she may in fact be the most powerful as her ability to transform to and from her witch form makes her incredibly difficult to defeat.
* While in witch form, she is able to speak in coherent french with an elaborate font. This is in contrast to other witches, many of whom do not speak and when they do it is in Runes.
* Her favorite sister may be Corbeau, as she often asks her to scrub her down during baths and has no problem hugging and burying her face in her sisters' chest when she hugs them.

==Trivia==
* Lapin's live2D model in Magia Record initially lacked the soul gem on her chest, even though her profile image and battle sprite had it included.
* As a child, Lapin was still the shortest of the three sisters.

==Etymology==
* In the original Japanese, her name is spelled "Lapine". Lapine is the French word for a female rabbit.
** However, in the official English translation of Tart Magica, her named is changed instead to "Lapin", which is the French word for a male rabbit, making this a case of [[Romanes eunt domus]].

NepetaLeijon27: /* Deliverance Wraith */

{{spoilers|for=[[Wraith Arc]]}}
[[File:Wraith Design Gekidan Inu Curry Wraith Arc Tank.png|Wraith types by [[Gekidan Inu Curry]] from ''[[Wraith Arc]]'' volume 1|250px|thumb]]
{{Nihongo|'''Wraiths'''|魔獣|Majū|lit. magical beasts}} are manifestations of grief in the new world recreated by [[Madoka Kaname]]. They replace the witches that magical girls must fight. They resemble tall, statue-like humanoids wearing robes with no visible limbs (though concept art shows them as having hands that shoot thin lasers to attack). Their faces are partially covered by digital polygon-like shapes that appear to glitch out randomly on or around their being.

==Types of Wraiths==
There are five known types of wraiths, each progressively more powerful:

===Wraith (Normal)===

===Mutant Wraith===
Certain wraiths have mutated due to absorbing Homura's emotions, gaining unique powers and characteristics:

====Mutant Wraiths====
{{Witch Card
|background=
|background_x=
|sprite= Wraith—Sayaka & Kyoko Transparent.png
|sprite_size= 230
|sprite_x= 0
|sprite_y= 0

|box_color= #9f9d90
|name= Wraith—Sayaka & Kyoko
|JP_name= 魔獣サヤカ・キョウコ
|type= Mutant
|appearances= [[Wraith Arc]], [[Magia Exedra]]

|desc_english= '''Wraith—Sayaka & Kyoko''' They are Wraiths that used Homura's memory manipulation magic to mimic humans from a Magical Girl's memory. It seems they can use time manipulation as well. However, to deceive and entrap people... isn't that what a Witch would do rather than a Wraith?
|desc_japanese= '''魔獣サヤカ・キョウコ''' ほむらの記憶操作魔法を利用して 魔法少女たちの記憶の中にある 人間に擬態する魔獣だって。 時間操作魔法も少しだけ使えるみたい。 でも、人を惑わせて陥れようとするなんて 魔獣っていうより…なんだか魔女みたいよね？ 
}}
*Mutant Wraiths: These wraiths are created when they absorbed part of Homura's memory and time manipulation powers, without being able to convert them into grief cubes. They can take on the form of people close to their targets which are based on their memories to trick their victims. When attacking, they revert to a more wraith-like appearance. Examples include Wraith forms of Mami's parents, Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami herself and Wraith Madoka, who have all appeared to different characters in the series. Due to this disguising ability originating from Homura's memory manipulation magic, only the people who knew those impersonated could be fooled by their disguises, as others see them as wraiths. They also had the power to momentarily stop time to attack, which initially appears as super-speed to others.

====Wraith Madoka====
{{Witch Card
|background=
|background_x=
|sprite= Wraith—Madoka Transparent.png
|sprite_size= 300
|sprite_x= 0
|sprite_y= 0

|box_color= #9f9d90
|name= Wraith—Madoka
|JP_name= 魔獣マドカ
|type= Mutant
|appearances= [[Wraith Arc]], [[Magia Exedra]]

|desc_english= '''Wraith—Madoka''' It's a Wraith that appeared in front of Homura and calls herself "an ally of Homura-chan". It gives a feeling that it has sort at of ego, unlike other Mutant Wraiths. I get the impression that this Wraith lacks of words compared to the Madoka I know. Perhaps it doesn't have any communication skills.
|desc_japanese= '''魔獣マドカ''' ほむらの元に現れた 自称”ほむらちゃんの味方”。 他の変異魔獣よりも 自我みたいなものを 感じる気がする。 あたしの知ってるまどかよりも 少し言葉足らずな 印象を受けるのは 交流手段を持たなかった 魔獣だからかも。 
}}
*Wraith Madoka: A special mutant wraith that took the form of Madoka and claimed to be an ally of Homura. This wraith was more sentient than others and could communicate telepathically. As it spent more time with Homura, it absorbed more and more of her emotions, even gaining the power of momentarily stopping time herself.

====The Spindle Witch - Kriemhild Fausut====
{{SeeMainBio|[[Kriemhild Fausut]]}}
[[File:Kriemhild Fausut Transparent.png|280px|left]]
*A giant wraith mutated by the curse inside Homura's shield. The Spindle Witch is both a wraith and not, being an incomplete witch and serving as a manifestation of calamity. It can instantly kill anything it touches and exerts an immense cold that balances the heat stolen from other beings.
{{-}}

====The Spindle Witch's Minion====
{{SeeMainBio|[[Kriemhild Fausut#?????|The mutant wraith (Homura model)]]}}
[[File:The mutant wraith (Homura model) Transparent.png|280px|left]]
*The Spindle Witch's minions which resemble both Homura and Deliverance Wraiths. They are mass-produced and attack with energy beams.
{{-}}

==History==
===Anime===
====Original Anime====
Wraiths first appear at the post-credits scene of [[episode 12]] of the original anime after Madoka's wish erases all the witches and [[Homura Akemi]] is seen fighting several of them afterwards. It is shown that in the new world, magical girls now fight wraiths instead, which are merely a different form of curses born from humanity. 
They appear to travel in large groups and do not reside in barriers, mostly appearing at night, unable to be seen by normal people. It is implied by [[Kyubey]] that they give off miasma in the air, which supposedly points to how many are in a single area. When defeated, wraiths drop (possibly several) small, cubic fragments of their grief similar to witches' grief seeds that can be harvested by magical girls to clean their soul gems and combat entropy (though Kyubey points out that this comes at the expense of energy efficiency).

====The Rebellion Story====
Wraiths are mentioned but not seen nor focused on in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion]]''.

===Books===
====Manga====
=====Wraith Arc=====
Wraiths feature prominently in the [[manga]] spin-off ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc]]'', where they serve as the main antagonistic forces and sources of conflict in the plot, outside of the characters' interactions with one another. ''Wraith Arc'' also gives more information on the nature, behavior, and types of wraiths. Wraiths are shown to be able to affect soul gems (as performed on [[Sayaka Miki]]), steal away magic powers (as performed on [[Homura Akemi]]), take objects (stealing Homura's ribbons from Madoka), and even take on the forms (including memories and intelligence) of magical girls and possibly other human beings.

==Abilities==
Wraiths possess various powers and abilities, making them formidable enemies for magical girls:

* Teleportation: Wraiths can teleport from one place to another, allowing them to ambush opponents or escape when threatened.

* Invisibility: Much like Kyubey and witches, wraiths are invisible to regular humans, only magical girls can see them. Their ability also masks the presence of magical girls while fighting, which helps keep the existence of magical girls a secret.

* Emotion Siphonage: Wraiths are attracted to unstable emotions and feed on the emotional energy of humans and magical girls. If they consume someone’s heart, that person becomes an emotional shell of themselves. The emotional energy is then converted into a "safe form" as grief cubes and when the wraith carrying them is defeated, they're left behind. However, the cubes are less effective than grief seeds in purifying soul gems and contain the emotional energy collected from people in a purified form.

* Emotion Detection: Wraiths are particularly drawn to the strong emotions of magical girls, especially those with unstable emotions. If a magical girl’s emotions are highly unstable, the wraiths can encase her in a cube while taking a praying position, draining her emotions and making it difficult to escape.

* Aura of Cold: Some wraiths, particularly the stronger types, exude a cold aura that can freeze objects in their surroundings.

* Beams and Projectiles: Wraiths primarily attack magical girls either by shooting energy beams from the glitching around them, or through shooting swords from their palms.

==Grief Cubes==
[[File:Soul Gem and Grief Seed Cubic Form.png|thumb|Homura cleaning her Soul Gem with Grief Cubes]]
Grief Cubes are the equivalent of [[Grief Seed|Grief Seeds]] in the Wraith Arc universe. Just like Grief Seeds, they drop when Wraiths are defeated and can be used to purify the Soul Gems of Magical Girls.

Grief Cubes are made out of human emotional energy, consumed by the Wraiths, and later purified, giving form to Grief Cubes. The Cubes are less effective than Grief Seeds, but drop in greater quantities.

==Observations==
* Because Madoka's wish only erased witches, grief was not removed from the new world as Madoka didn't change human nature. As a result, the wraiths are distortions of Madoka's cause and effect of her wish, and give magical girls other means of obtaining grief seeds to clean their soul gems and combat entropy.
* Wraith types are named after Buddhist levels of enlightenment.
** [[wikipedia:Shugend%C5%8D|Shugen]] is a Buddhist-adjacent term referring to a form of asceticism that involves becoming one with nature/kami/the Tao (the practice tends to be syncretic). A Shugenja (practitioner) is an ascetic mountain mystic, one who undergoes severe physical and spiritual training in the wilderness to acquire supernatural powers. They are often seen as itinerant monks or yogis.
** Satori is the Japanese Zen Buddhist term for spiritual awakening and is often translated as "enlightenment." It is different from Buddhahood, as it's more about understanding one's own nature, which in itself is just a step towards complete Buddhahood.
** Moksha is a central concept in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It means emancipation from earthly desires and the ultimate spiritual goal in these traditions. It is freedom from the cycle of reincarnation (Samsara), and thus freedom from all worldly suffering, desires, and the illusion of the self. Unlike Nirvana, a person undergoing Moksha hasn't died yet.
** Normal Wraiths also themselves resemble novice monks or Postulants (Śrāmaṇera), who wear identical robes, shave their heads and let go of their personal identities.
* The Wraiths seem to resemble "[[wikipedia:Morrai|moirae]]" from Greek mythology, beings that personified the inescapable destiny of humanity.
* The Wraiths battled in [[Magia Exedra]] resembles to the skeletal ones seen in the manga concept art.

==Trivia==
* Early fansubs of the anime called wraiths "demons". The name of "wraith" comes from the official translation of the anime.
** The official translations of the original series' first manga versions refer to them as "magical beasts". It should be noted, however, that the official manga translations are already inconsistent with the official anime translations.
* While defeating a wraith that has stolen someone's emotions won't instantly return them, victims may gradually regain their emotions over time regardless. At least, this was implied by Mami to be the case with magical girls, telling Homura to grow stronger to compensate for her lost magic.

Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story

2025-10-25T10:19:25Z

NepetaLeijon27:

[[File:Magia record.PNG|500px|thumb|right]]<blockquote>Guided by strange power, magical girls gather in this town. There is a place where a magical girl can stay as she is. They're fighting with a new power from witches.</blockquote>

[http://magireco.com/ {{nihongo|'''''Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record'''''|マギアレコード魔法少女まどか☆マギカ外伝|Magia Recōdo: Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika Gaiden|}}], also known as {{nihongo|'''''MagiReco'''''|マギレコ|}} for short, was a smartphone-exclusive role-playing game distributed by Aniplex and developed by F4samurai which was released on August 22, 2017. Originally slated for Mid-May 2017, the game was pushed back for further development. The game was available on iOS, Android and DMM. Its service termination was announced on May 31st, 2024, and the game ended on July 31st, 2024.

It follows the story of Iroha Tamaki, a magical girl who arrives at [[Kamihama City]] to find her missing younger sister.

The theme song of the first part of the story was called {{nihongo|"[[Kakawari]]"|かかわり||"Connection"}}, and the theme song of the second part was called {{nihongo|"[[Utsuroi]]"|うつろい||"Change"}}; both were written and composed by Sho Watanabe and sung by TrySail, a group consisting of Momo Asakura, Sora Amamiya, and Shina Natsukawa, the voice actors for Iroha, Yachiyo, and Tsuruno respectively.

==Summary==
It was first announced in 2011 that a Gaiden work of Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica" would be developed. On September 22-25, 2016 the game was officially announced at the SHAFT 40th anniversary event "Madogatari"[http://www.4gamer.net/games/358/G035840/20160930121/] . Atsuhiro Iwakami, the producer of the original anime [[Manga Time Kirara Magica Vol.30|said]] "Since it seems that it will take some more time until the anime's new work, the idea that I want to make a title that "Madoka Magica" is active will work."

Ume Aoki was responsible for the design of the original character that serves as the game's protagonist, as well as designing more than 10 new and original characters for the game. Gekidan Inu Curry is also responsible for the designs of the new witches. In addition to this, Shaft has produced the opening animation and magical girl transformation scenes.

==Story==
{{SeeAlso|[[Magia Record Story]]|[[Magia Record Timeline]]}}

Magia Record had a total of six story modes:
*'''[[Magia Record Main Story|Main Story]]''', which details [[Iroha Tamaki|Iroha's]] quest to find her sister amid the mysteries of Kamihama City. The first arc consists of ten chapters. The second arc consists of twelve chapters.
*'''[[Magia Record Another Story|Another Story]]''', which focuses on what other magical girls were doing during the Main Story. Arc one has nine chapters, while arc two has eleven.
*'''[[Magia Record Mirrors Story|Mirrors]]''', the PvP mode. The story of Mirrors is that Iroha and her companions are exploring the barrier of the Mirror Witch. Mirrors is divided into levels which are unlocked by playing the mode. Unlocking levels displays new story scenes.
*Each character has their own '''Side Story''' that is three chapters long. (Some characters have a fourth chapter with no story that is used to unlock their Doppel.)
:Certain characters have '''Costume Stories''' which are basically side stories tied to limited edition costumes.
*'''[[Magia Record Events|Events]]''', which were one-time stories with different types of gameplay.

==Gameplay==
Iroha Tamaki is the main character of the story. The gameplay follows a "Main Story", which is the focus of the game, a "Side Story" which is a timeline different from the Main Story, and "Character Story" where the background of each character is further developed. It features the magical girl cast from the anime and several original magical girls created for the game . The game will also feature other characters from the spinoff mangas such as Oriko and Kirika. The game uses character designs, animation, and music from the anime as well as incorporating new designs and songs for the dialogue scenes. Characters are superdeformed or "chibi" in the fight scenes. Players can also team up in a move called 'Connect' to defeat powerful enemies. The game will also feature a new gameplay element called "Doppel" in which magical girls can summon their witch forms and use new powers in combat.

*For details on how the game works, see the [[Magia Record Gameplay]] page.

===[[Mirror Witch]]'s Barrier===
Within the mirror witch's barrier, a battle with the other player's reflections will unfold. Pass through several of the "mirror's layers" and aim for the center of the barrier. Unlock more mirror battles by advancing through the story quests.

The magical girls fought in PvP are mere copies, not real magical girls. The mirror witch can make copies of magical girls who enter her barrier. The more time a girl spends in the barrier, the better the quality of the copy. Initially players are limited to a certain number of Battle Points which are used to initiate combat in the Mirror Witch's Barrier. As time passes, Battle Points will replenish.

===Doppel===
[[File:Doppel witch.PNG|300px|thumb|right]]
According to the official website ''"A select few Magical Girls in Kamihama City can summon a power known as a Doppel. Only awakened Magical Girls have this ability, which allows them to invoke a portion of the Witch power in their Soul Gem when it becomes fully tainted."''

In general, a magical girl changes into a witch when her soul gem, which is the main source of magical power that is created as a result of contracting, becomes cloudy. But in the world of Kamihama City the "Doppel" power is invoked instead. A magical girl's appearance changes into that of their witch form but will still leave her magical girl form intact resulting in a hybrid of their magical girl and witch forms. When doppel is activated, the magical girl is able to use powerful techniques they would not normally be able to use.

==Characters==
{{SeeAlso|[[Magia Record Characters]]}}

The game introduces a staggering amount of new magical girls. Twenty-two entirely new characters were playable on the game's launch, and other magical girls have been added as the game continues. Most of these characters are (currently) irrelevant to the main plot, though each playable magical girl gets their own special side-story.

As stated earlier, Ume Aoki was hired for the original character designs of several new magical girls that will feature in the game. In addition, other magical girls from the spin-off series such as [[Manga Time Kirara Magica]] series are also playable. The main characters are:

* '''[[Iroha Tamaki]]'''
The main character of the game. Iroha became a magical girl to cure her little sister, Ui's illness. When Ui went missing she came to Kamihama City to search for her. She is cheerful and earnest, but she pays too much attention to other people's needs. "Wait for me, Ui. Your big sister will find you."
* '''[[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record|Madoka Kaname]]'''
A Magical Girl who operates out of Mitakihara City. She goes to Kamihama City in search of her friend, Mami, who suddenly disappeared. "I'm here to help you, Homura!"
* '''[[Yachiyo Nanami]]'''
A magical girl who has been battling Witches in Kamihama City for seven years. She works alone and doesn't associate with others. She documents all of Kamihama City's rumors. "If you've learned your lesson, just stop. Life as a magical girl is no picnic."
* '''[[Felicia Mitsuki]]'''
A mercenary magical girl who goes berserk if she sees a Witch. Felicia is selfish and lazy and always demands attention, but she is second to none in battle. "I'll rid the world of Witches!"
* '''[[Tsuruno Yui]]'''
A foolhardy Magical Girl whose goal is to become the most powerful ever. She respects and loves her grandfather and her birthplace, which has a long, storied history. She is proud of the Chinese restaurant that her family has been running since her great-grandfather's time. "There's nothing wrong with acting on the fly!"
* '''[[Sana Futaba]]'''
A pessimistic Magical Girl who lacks confidence. She is submissive to people who need her, and if she's fond of them, she will quietly stand by them. "I need to change, don't I?"
* '''[[Homura Akemi (Eyeglass ver.)|Homura Akemi]]'''
A timid Magical Girl who wished to become a being capable of protecting Madoka. She reverses time over and over in an attempt to prevent Madoka from becoming a Witch. A series of events causes her to search for a way to change the future in Kamihama City. Her appearance is that of the braided Homura from [[Episode 10]]. "This is how I'll save Madoka."
* '''[[Momoko Togame]]'''
A benevolent Magical Girl who saves inexperienced Magical Girls when they're in a pinch. As the middle child with two brothers, she grew up very assertive and outspoken, almost boyish. Despite that, she likes stuffed animals and other cute things. As a direct result of those preferences, she is also a fan of female idols. "Don't worry! Just leave it to me!"
* '''[[Kaede Akino]]'''
A cowardly Magical Girl who's prone to worrying. Still, she's kind, cares about her friends, and will face any dilemma for the sake of her team. She loves plants, animals, insects, and nature, and works hard on her vegetable garden at home. One of her favorite hobbies is playing UFO catcher games, even though she’s not good at them. "I'm sorry. I'm totally useless..."
* '''[[Rena Minami]]'''
A socially awkward Magical Girl who's bad at expressing herself. She hides her lack of confidence by putting up a determined front, which makes it easy for her to be misunderstood by people she doesn't know well yet. Contrary to her unsociable attitude, she likes sweets and has a childish taste when it comes to food. She is a female idol groupie. "I hate myself!"
* '''[[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record|Mami Tomoe]]'''
A Magical Girl who has been fighting Witches in Mitakihara City even longer than Madoka Kaname and the others. She mentors the girls, taking pride in being able to save people. She likes black tea. "Do you mind if I take care of this?"
* '''[[Kyoko Sakura in Magia Record|Kyoko Sakura]]'''
A Magical Girl from Kazamino City. She appears to be a dropout, and where she lives is unknown. She tends to clash with other girls thanks to her unyielding spirit and straightforward values. She's always eating. She wields a multi-jointed spear and can summon magical barriers. "Everyone has a story... This is mine."
* '''[[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record|Sayaka Miki]]'''
A straightforward Magical Girl with a strong sense of justice. She is close friends with her classmate, Madoka. She respects Mami, her senior as a Magical Girl, and their combat styles are similar, both utilizing an arsenal of weapons. She used to go to the hospital regularly to visit her childhood friend, [[Kyosuke Kamijo]], while he was a patient there.

==[[Magia☆Report]]==

==Summary==
A magical girl whose form has changed after collecting a multitude of hopes. The spear in her hand reflects the color of the magical girls who are the owners of hope, and emits rich colors. According to rumors, the spear is responsible for shattering barriers to the future and delivering hope.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel_150200_l.png|thumb|right|150px|Campanella, Yachiyo's doppel]]
The Doppel of Ticket-Tearing. Its form is a weather pole. The master of this emotion has inherited a small hope from the past and has become like a mythical being. The Doppel grew in size in proportion to the amount of hope the master had inherited, and grew into a heavy stone structure, as if to represent the burden it bore. The Doppel, who wants to be released from the pressure as soon as possible, is looking for an opportunity to release its power at instantaneous maximum output in order to realize its wish. If realized, extraordinary powers such as weather manipulation would trigger storms and eruptions, transforming the earth into a newly born star. Hence, the master, who feels boundless power, remains vigilant to avoid taking the initiative.

<blockquote>''"My wish was not for the talent. Just an opportunity to succeed in the world. Nothing more."'' - Umika Misaki, [[Puella_Magi_Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_2:_.22AHA.21_Dogs.22.22|Chapter 2]].</blockquote>

{{Nihongo|'''Umika Misaki'''|御崎海香|Misaki Umika}} is a major character in [[Kazumi Magica|Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice]].

An accomplished novelist, she lives in [[Misaki Residence |her family's house]] with her two friends [[Kazumi]] and [[Kaoru]], while their parents are working overseas. She provides for them financially with the money earned from her books. She is a magical girl, and a member of the [[Pleiades Saints]].

Umika also appears in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record]]'', being her first animated and voice acted appearance.

==Personality==
Umika is the brains of the Pleiades. Although a rather cheery person and far from cold, she keeps her cool most of the time and analyzes situations with care.

As a writer, she often has episodes of [[wikipedia:Writer's block|writer's block]]. When this happens, her personality changes dramatically: she becomes extremely frustrated and grows visible horns, going on a cooking frenzy. Her cooking is rather good, and eating it generally solves her block. When this does not work, she goes on a shopping spree with her friends: given her wealth, money is not an issue. Still, she can be quite stingy: it is said she will go anywhere to save one Yen in groceries.

She wished for an editor who would recognize her works and treat them with care, as once she wrote a draft for a novel that was taken by her editor and released under the authorship of a top idol to rave reviews. When asked why she didn't simply wish to be a best-selling author, she states she did not want talent, but fame. This may mean she either believes in her own talent, or simply wants to be famous. Either way, she uses the money she earns to give herself and her friends a comfortable life.

==History==
===Umika in Kazumi Magica===
{{spoilers|media=kazumi}}
[[File:Umika writers block.png|thumb|340px|Umika with an episode of writer's block.]]
Her first appearance was at the mall where Kazumi was being traded for a bomb. After getting reacquainted with Kazumi, she and Kaoru led her to their house.
While she was out, Kazumi met and fought the police detective from earlier. Umika and Kaoru arrived just after the end of the battle, picking up what a Grief Seed like object (later revealed to be an Evil Nut) that appeared when the detective was defeated.

The next day, she suffers from writer's block, acting awkwardly towards the other girls, growing horns and cooking maniacally. This was almost effective, were it not for an untimely comment by Kazumi. She then used her second trick to overcome her block: shopping. This apparently worked. While leaving the mall, Kazumi's "witch-detecting" hair sensed something in a nearby alley, leading her to a pseudo-witch. In the resulting battle, the monster gets the upper hand, prompting Umika and Kaoru to show their own powers to Kazumi and awakening some of her lost memories. However, Kazumi's attempt to follow those memories causes her to nearly hit Umika and allows the pseudo-witch get away. Umika and Kaoru "punish" Kazumi by giving her a new (and rather messy) haircut while telling her about magic and their own wishes. Afterwards, they meet and defeat the same pseudo-witch, who is briefly seen with a mysterious magical girl.

[[File:Umika reading.png|thumb|440px|Umika reading her opponent's mind with ''Ex Fille'']]
Sometime later, the three fight a "real" witch. Kazumi hesitates at a critical moment, causing Kaoru to nearly be devoured by it. Umika jumped inside the witch just in time to summon a protective barrier around the two of them, but the witch flees with both of them trapped inside. Kazumi meets the remaining Pleiades, and they engage in a mad rush to save the two before Umika's barrier collapses. They arrive just in time to save them both and defeat the witch.

While they celebrate their victory, they are attacked by the mysterious magical girl from earlier, [[Yuuri]]. She kidnaps Kazumi, and orders them to go to the Asunaro Dome if they want Kazumi back. They head there, but due to a force barrier, they can do nothing but watch. However, Kazumi is able to free herself, and engages Yuuri. Unfortunately for all involved, Yuuri becomes a witch over the course of the battle. Along with the other Pleiades, Umika is trapped on a cross in the witch's barrier, and is enveloped in thorny vines.

The magical girls are then shown a vision of the witch's past as [[Airi Anri]]. After that, Kazumi falls under the influence of the Evil Nut and breaks free. However, she is unwilling to fight the witch and even attempts to change her back. [[Saki Asami|Saki]] then shoots the witch, freeing Umika and the other Saints. They then attack the witch as they explain to Kazumi that they have no choice but to kill her. Umika is seen crying during this sequence. Finally Kazumi delivers the final blow, saying she wishes to share this burden with her friends. She then collapses crying into Umika's arms.

Later, Kaoru and Umika walk home with Kazumi. Kazumi then tells them to go on ahead, as she wishes to be alone. That night, the Pleiades are seen stealing the Soul Gem of a magical girl named Akane Sumire in a back alley. Umika is not visible, but it's not unlikely that she was present at the time.

The next day, Umika and the other Pleiades Saints appear to rescue Kauzmi and Niko from [[Ayase Souju|Ayase and Luca Souju]] at an amusement park. Kaoru says they'll be taking the Soujus' gems. Saki tells Kaoru not to do it in front of Kazumi, but Niko says Kazumi already saw her doing it. Kaoru pulls out both Ayase and Luca's gems with the spell ''Tocco del Male''. Kazumi angrily asks the others why they're taking the Soul Gems of other magical girls, saying that she said earlier she would bear the burden with her friends. Against Saki's objections, Umika says she'll tell Kazumi the truth about the Pleiades Saints, but is interrupted by Niko's Soul Gem glowing. As she falls over, a witch emerges from her Gem.

As Niko's Soul Gem cracks, we see background text of her thinking that that she'll die without a trace, and she wants everyone to remember. The Pleiades are shocked to discover Niko has become a witch. The witch attacks the Pleiades; Kaoru and Umika defend against its attacks while Mirai kills it. As the other Pleiades recover from their shock, Juubey and Umika stare at Niko's Grief Seed and wonder how this disaster happened. Another Niko subsequently shows up, and Juubey informs the Pleiades that her wish was to produce the "spare" they now see before them.

The Pleiades take Kazumi to Mirai's teddy bear museum, "Angelica Bears", where Umika opens a path to the building's eerie lower levels. They walk up to a giant door, which opens into a giant room filled with Soul Gems and the lifeless bodies of Magical Girls. Umika tells Kazumi that after they take Soul Gems, they put the empty shells of the magical girls into this "Freezer" that they created, as their "rejection" of the magical girl system. She explains that witches are the end state of magical girls, and admits that they lied to Kazumi when they claimed to not know why Soul Gems go out of control. Juubey, grinning, further explains that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls. Umika explains that the girls they capture are placed in a barrier that separates their bodies from their Gems, putting them in suspended animation and preventing them from becoming witches. The Pleiades hope to find a way to completely clean the gems and turn them back into humans. Kazumi asks when everyone found out about the connection between magical girls and witches. Umika touches her forehead to Kazumi's, telling her to remember everything.

In her memory, Kazumi sees Umika, Kaoru, Satomi, Mirai, Niko, and Saki, standing on a catwalk with a witch's kiss on their necks. The story flashes back to each girl's "despair" in turn. Umika's despair comes from when she wrote a draft for a novel that was taken by her editor and released under the authorship of a top idol, to rave reviews. When the editor calls her to ask if they can look forward to her next work, Umika drops the phone in shock.

The girls standing on the catwalk all jump off together at the witch's command. They are suddenly rescued by Kazumi, who snags them in midair with ribbons and greets them cheerily. She then opens up the witch's barrier and orders the six of them to fight off the familiars, saving them from the witch at the last second. She later takes them all back to her house.

The seven new friends eat together at Kazumi's house. She points out a book that Umika is holding, asking her if it's the book that was plagiarized from her draft. After reading the book, Kazumi says it's bad because the main character wastes food like "The Girl who Trod on the Loaf" (a fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen). Umika suddenly becomes animated and agrees, saying the scene wasn't in her draft. She then explains that the rule of villains is that the one who wastes food is a villain and can't be left alive - revealing the source of the brief flashback Kazumi had in Chapter 1. Kazumi then tells the Pleiades how she became a magical girl. After listening to her story, Juubey mentions that the Pleiades can become magical girls as well, to which they all agree. Kazumi cheers over having new friends. Juubey tells the girls to give him their wishes; Umika's is to meet an editor who will recognize her works and treat them with care. Their contracts completed, Kazumi dubs the team the Pleiades Saints, and they happily fight witches together for some time.

One night, some time later, the Pleiades notice that Kazumi is running late, having been told that she was bringing a new friend along. Juubey hurriedly calls them out to Asunaro Dome, where they see Yuuri Asuka becoming a witch. After the battle, Juubey explains the witch conversion process and his nature as an Incubator to the stunned girls. Umika suddenly grabs Juubey and slams her forehead against his, firing a laser between their eyes. He falls down, speaking in a different tone of voice and bewildered as to why she's upset. Umika explains that she has rewritten Juubey's memories and prevented him from making any further contracts.

The story then returns to the present. Kazumi feels faint from the stress of having her memories restored, and Umika leads her back to the house. Kazumi falls fast asleep as Umika and Kaoru watch over her, feeling somewhat guilty that they lied to her about their wishes when they first met. They worry that things will "go better this time", and Umika remembers how Kazumi was affected by the Evil Nut. Saki enters, drenched in rain. She asks how Kazumi is doing, specifically with regards to the Evil Nut. Umika has no idea what they are, saying that they'll have to find out from the person who gave them to Yuuri and the Soujus. Saki worries that they've had "another failure", but Umika insists that nothing is wrong. Saki becomes increasingly panicked that they're going to run out of magic and turn into witches like Niko, at which point Umika notices that she's suddenly referring to Kazumi as "Kazumi''-chan''". Saki kicks Umika into the far wall. Umika, wounded, warns Kaoru that Saki is being controlled by Satomi. Satomi (through Saki) exclaims that she has to kill Kazumi, and by the time Umika and Kaoru make it to Kazumi's room, Saki has already kidnapped her.

Umika and the other Pleiades locate Kazumi and Satomi, but by then it's too late - Kazumi has learned from Satomi that she is a clone of her original self, Michiru, and that her memories are fake, and Satomi has become a witch. Kazumi flees in a panic after she realizes that she has killed Satomi. The remaining Pleiades reconvene at Umika's house, unable to locate Kazumi. Umika (along with Saki, Mirai and Niko) affirms her determination to revive Michiru; Kaoru objects, as this means killing the current Kazumi.

Some time later, the Pleiades receive a signal from Kazumi, who demands that they confront her at the Freezer lest she unseal all the Soul Gems there. There, Kazumi speaks with them, ordering them to kill her and try their hardest to revive Michiru. She then transforms into a monster and engulfs the room in a barrier. Kaoru is quickly struck down by the witch; Umika tends to her, realizes that she is merely immobilized, not injured, and breaks the spell Kazumi put on her. Kaoru holds Saki back, having realized that Kazumi is simply creating an illusion so that they'd have no choice but to kill her. As the other Pleiades stand before Kazumi in shock, Mirai cleaves her in two. Kazumi's corpse turns into a balloon-like doll of Niko, as does the Niko that she incapacitated beforehand. The real Niko steps into view, with the real Kazumi safely stowed in her collection tube. Before the Pleiades can overcome their shock, she shoves an Evil Nut into Saki and causes her to become a witch.

{{Spoiler|The witch swiftly kills Mirai and is immobilized by Niko, who reveals her([[Kanna Hijiri|true identity]]). She prepares to attack Umika and Kaoru with the witch when Kazumi breaks out of her prison. Umika and Kaoru run to Kazumi's side, fervently apologizing to Kanna and begging her to help Kazumi, as she is on the verge of turning into a witch. Kanna screams back that they have no idea what she went through when she discovered that she was "made up". Umika quietly responds that Kanna isn't made up, angering her further. Umika shouts at Kanna, saying that they'll never hand Kazumi over to her as long as she insists that the two of them are "made up", as Kazumi's strength of will is something they couldn't possibly have made on their own.}}

{{Spoiler|Kanna, enraged, attacks them with a group of witches (including Saki's). Umika sends Kaoru to attack the witches while she removes Kanna's Gem, but they are both struck down. Kazumi tries to get up and help them (asking them one last time to kill her if she becomes a witch) but her Gem is corrupted to the point where she can't transform. Kaoru and Umika's Gems are also reaching their limit, and Juubey breaks into pieces while trying to purify them.}}

{{Spoiler|Meanwhile, a giant magic circle of Umika's is seen floating above the city, beginning to break down. Umika and Kaoru suddenly remember that Grief Seeds can be used to purify Soul Gems, having apparently forgotten up until this point. Saki's witch is freed from Kanna's control by Kazumi at the last second, and destroys itself. Umika and Kaoru grab its Grief Seed and clean Kazumi's Gem. As the rejuvenated Kazumi fights Kanna, Umika and Kaoru reminisce on how they planned to revive her to begin with.}}

{{Spoiler|Umika was the one to first present the plan to revive Michiru, having extracted information from a witch and retrieved the "heart" that fueled it. She herself referred to it as part of their battle against the magical girl system and ''"them"''. The Pleiades were eagerly looking forward to seeing her again, without a trace of the unhappiness that followed. Umika herself planned to give her the first copy of her new book.}}

{{Spoiler|With her Gem on the verge of breaking, Umika apologizes to Kazumi for leaving her alone again, and looks up at Saki's Grief Seed that they don't know how to dispose of. Suddenly, she and Kaoru remember that they can just feed it to [[{{spoiler|Kyubey}}]], as the magic circle above the city shatters entirely. Having thus realized something, they scream for Kyubey to reveal himself, and he does as if on cue.}}

* See [[Umika Misaki in Magia Record]]

==Powers and Abilities==
Having made a wish related to writing, her weapon is a magical book. Its main function is to read the opponent's mind with the spell "Ex Fille", their thoughts being written on its pages. Umika can then use that information to identify the enemy's weakness, and come up with a plan. She can summon a protective barrier around her, but she can only maintain it for a limited period of time. She can also study and use other people's magic, such as [[Kyouko Sakura|Kyouko's]] Rosso Fantasma, and release people who have been immobilized by using the spell "Carcere Pausa" (Jailbreak). This implies that Umika could potentially learn many kinds of spells and magic from her enemies if she wished though it's unknown how many types of magic she can use at any one time. She can also summon objects from the book, most often a ball for Kaoru's attacks. For close range attacks, she can transform the book into a double-edged pole, with the covers acting as blades. This pole has the ability to sever the link between humans and pseudo-witches spawned by them or simply act as a melee weapon for Umika to utilise offensively if the need should arise.

Within Magia Record, it is shown her spellbook can generate a shower of blue energetic balls that can fall upon enemies to attack them, though this may be a variation of the 'Ex Fille' spell that is exclusive to the game.

Umika can also manipulate people's memories by headbutting them and firing lasers into their eyes. She has used this to brainwash Juubey, restore Kazumi's memories, and remove Tachibana's and Ishijima's memories of the bomb threat they were involved in. It is unknown to what extent she can actually alter people's memories but as with the case of Juubey, this ability doesn't seem to be limited with humans and could apply to any organism with a high enough cognitive function or high enough intelligence to regard their memories.

{{Spoiler|In Chapter 21, it is revealed that she cast a massive spell over all of Asunaro City as part of the Pleiades' plan to reject the magical girl system. This spell made regular Incubators imperceptible to everyone there, edited their existing memories to include Juubey rather than Kyubey, and removed the knowledge of how to purify Soul Gems without Juubey from all magical girls in the area.}}

In Magia Record, it appears Umika can utilise her doppel, Caterina when her soul gem turns black. Caterina has the ability to fly allowing Umika to transport herself around with it or simply levitate. It can also slam its book wings upon a target and absorb energy from its surroundings to decimate them.

==Etymology==
* Her first name means "sea scent".
* Her last name means "honorable peninsula".
** Her last name can also be used as a first name.

==Trivia==
* While she has normal eyesight, she wears glasses when transformed possibly due to the nature of her wish and even acquiring common gestures such as adjusting them regularly.
** It's revealed in chapter 20 that she uses glasses for reading, which explains her habits.
* Her special ability, ''Ex Fille'', is a reference to the 1993 television drama [[wikipedia:The%20X-Files|''The X Files'']]. [[Romanes_eunt_domus|However]], the Italian word 'file' in the attack name is specifically used for a "file" in computing; whereas the name of the show refers to a "file" (physical archive) of unexplained phenomena.

<blockquote>''"My wish was not for the talent. Just an opportunity to succeed in the world. Nothing more."'' - Umika Misaki, [[Puella_Magi_Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_2:_.22AHA.21_Dogs.22.22|Chapter 2]].</blockquote>

{{Nihongo|'''Umika Misaki'''|御崎海香|Misaki Umika}} is a major character in [[Kazumi Magica|Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice]].

An accomplished novelist, she lives in [[Misaki Residence |her family's house]] with her two friends [[Kazumi]] and [[Kaoru]], while their parents are working overseas. She provides for them financially with the money earned from her books. She is a magical girl, and a member of the [[Pleiades Saints]].

Umika also appears in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record]]'', being her first animated and voice acted appearance.

==Personality==
Umika is the brains of the Pleiades. Although a rather cheery person and far from cold, she keeps her cool most of the time and analyzes situations with care.

As a writer, she often has episodes of [[wikipedia:Writer's block|writer's block]]. When this happens, her personality changes dramatically: she becomes extremely frustrated and grows visible horns, going on a cooking frenzy. Her cooking is rather good, and eating it generally solves her block. When this does not work, she goes on a shopping spree with her friends: given her wealth, money is not an issue. Still, she can be quite stingy: it is said she will go anywhere to save one Yen in groceries.

She wished for an editor who would recognize her works and treat them with care, as once she wrote a draft for a novel that was taken by her editor and released under the authorship of a top idol to rave reviews. When asked why she didn't simply wish to be a best-selling author, she states she did not want talent, but fame. This may mean she either believes in her own talent, or simply wants to be famous. Either way, she uses the money she earns to give herself and her friends a comfortable life.

==History==
===Umika in Kazumi Magica===
{{spoilers|media=kazumi}}
[[File:Umika writers block.png|thumb|340px|Umika with an episode of writer's block.]]
Her first appearance was at the mall where Kazumi was being traded for a bomb. After getting reacquainted with Kazumi, she and Kaoru led her to their house.
While she was out, Kazumi met and fought the police detective from earlier. Umika and Kaoru arrived just after the end of the battle, picking up what a Grief Seed like object (later revealed to be an Evil Nut) that appeared when the detective was defeated.

The next day, she suffers from writer's block, acting awkwardly towards the other girls, growing horns and cooking maniacally. This was almost effective, were it not for an untimely comment by Kazumi. She then used her second trick to overcome her block: shopping. This apparently worked. While leaving the mall, Kazumi's "witch-detecting" hair sensed something in a nearby alley, leading her to a pseudo-witch. In the resulting battle, the monster gets the upper hand, prompting Umika and Kaoru to show their own powers to Kazumi and awakening some of her lost memories. However, Kazumi's attempt to follow those memories causes her to nearly hit Umika and allows the pseudo-witch get away. Umika and Kaoru "punish" Kazumi by giving her a new (and rather messy) haircut while telling her about magic and their own wishes. Afterwards, they meet and defeat the same pseudo-witch, who is briefly seen with a mysterious magical girl.

[[File:Umika reading.png|thumb|440px|Umika reading her opponent's mind with ''Ex Fille'']]
Sometime later, the three fight a "real" witch. Kazumi hesitates at a critical moment, causing Kaoru to nearly be devoured by it. Umika jumped inside the witch just in time to summon a protective barrier around the two of them, but the witch flees with both of them trapped inside. Kazumi meets the remaining Pleiades, and they engage in a mad rush to save the two before Umika's barrier collapses. They arrive just in time to save them both and defeat the witch.

While they celebrate their victory, they are attacked by the mysterious magical girl from earlier, [[Yuuri]]. She kidnaps Kazumi, and orders them to go to the Asunaro Dome if they want Kazumi back. They head there, but due to a force barrier, they can do nothing but watch. However, Kazumi is able to free herself, and engages Yuuri. Unfortunately for all involved, Yuuri becomes a witch over the course of the battle. Along with the other Pleiades, Umika is trapped on a cross in the witch's barrier, and is enveloped in thorny vines.

The magical girls are then shown a vision of the witch's past as [[Airi Anri]]. After that, Kazumi falls under the influence of the Evil Nut and breaks free. However, she is unwilling to fight the witch and even attempts to change her back. [[Saki Asami|Saki]] then shoots the witch, freeing Umika and the other Saints. They then attack the witch as they explain to Kazumi that they have no choice but to kill her. Umika is seen crying during this sequence. Finally Kazumi delivers the final blow, saying she wishes to share this burden with her friends. She then collapses crying into Umika's arms.

Later, Kaoru and Umika walk home with Kazumi. Kazumi then tells them to go on ahead, as she wishes to be alone. That night, the Pleiades are seen stealing the Soul Gem of a magical girl named Akane Sumire in a back alley. Umika is not visible, but it's not unlikely that she was present at the time.

The next day, Umika and the other Pleiades Saints appear to rescue Kauzmi and Niko from [[Ayase Souju|Ayase and Luca Souju]] at an amusement park. Kaoru says they'll be taking the Soujus' gems. Saki tells Kaoru not to do it in front of Kazumi, but Niko says Kazumi already saw her doing it. Kaoru pulls out both Ayase and Luca's gems with the spell ''Tocco del Male''. Kazumi angrily asks the others why they're taking the Soul Gems of other magical girls, saying that she said earlier she would bear the burden with her friends. Against Saki's objections, Umika says she'll tell Kazumi the truth about the Pleiades Saints, but is interrupted by Niko's Soul Gem glowing. As she falls over, a witch emerges from her Gem.

As Niko's Soul Gem cracks, we see background text of her thinking that that she'll die without a trace, and she wants everyone to remember. The Pleiades are shocked to discover Niko has become a witch. The witch attacks the Pleiades; Kaoru and Umika defend against its attacks while Mirai kills it. As the other Pleiades recover from their shock, Juubey and Umika stare at Niko's Grief Seed and wonder how this disaster happened. Another Niko subsequently shows up, and Juubey informs the Pleiades that her wish was to produce the "spare" they now see before them.

The Pleiades take Kazumi to Mirai's teddy bear museum, "Angelica Bears", where Umika opens a path to the building's eerie lower levels. They walk up to a giant door, which opens into a giant room filled with Soul Gems and the lifeless bodies of Magical Girls. Umika tells Kazumi that after they take Soul Gems, they put the empty shells of the magical girls into this "Freezer" that they created, as their "rejection" of the magical girl system. She explains that witches are the end state of magical girls, and admits that they lied to Kazumi when they claimed to not know why Soul Gems go out of control. Juubey, grinning, further explains that Soul Gems are the extracted souls of magical girls. Umika explains that the girls they capture are placed in a barrier that separates their bodies from their Gems, putting them in suspended animation and preventing them from becoming witches. The Pleiades hope to find a way to completely clean the gems and turn them back into humans. Kazumi asks when everyone found out about the connection between magical girls and witches. Umika touches her forehead to Kazumi's, telling her to remember everything.

In her memory, Kazumi sees Umika, Kaoru, Satomi, Mirai, Niko, and Saki, standing on a catwalk with a witch's kiss on their necks. The story flashes back to each girl's "despair" in turn. Umika's despair comes from when she wrote a draft for a novel that was taken by her editor and released under the authorship of a top idol, to rave reviews. When the editor calls her to ask if they can look forward to her next work, Umika drops the phone in shock.

The girls standing on the catwalk all jump off together at the witch's command. They are suddenly rescued by Kazumi, who snags them in midair with ribbons and greets them cheerily. She then opens up the witch's barrier and orders the six of them to fight off the familiars, saving them from the witch at the last second. She later takes them all back to her house.

The seven new friends eat together at Kazumi's house. She points out a book that Umika is holding, asking her if it's the book that was plagiarized from her draft. After reading the book, Kazumi says it's bad because the main character wastes food like "The Girl who Trod on the Loaf" (a fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen). Umika suddenly becomes animated and agrees, saying the scene wasn't in her draft. She then explains that the rule of villains is that the one who wastes food is a villain and can't be left alive - revealing the source of the brief flashback Kazumi had in Chapter 1. Kazumi then tells the Pleiades how she became a magical girl. After listening to her story, Juubey mentions that the Pleiades can become magical girls as well, to which they all agree. Kazumi cheers over having new friends. Juubey tells the girls to give him their wishes; Umika's is to meet an editor who will recognize her works and treat them with care. Their contracts completed, Kazumi dubs the team the Pleiades Saints, and they happily fight witches together for some time.

One night, some time later, the Pleiades notice that Kazumi is running late, having been told that she was bringing a new friend along. Juubey hurriedly calls them out to Asunaro Dome, where they see Yuuri Asuka becoming a witch. After the battle, Juubey explains the witch conversion process and his nature as an Incubator to the stunned girls. Umika suddenly grabs Juubey and slams her forehead against his, firing a laser between their eyes. He falls down, speaking in a different tone of voice and bewildered as to why she's upset. Umika explains that she has rewritten Juubey's memories and prevented him from making any further contracts.

The story then returns to the present. Kazumi feels faint from the stress of having her memories restored, and Umika leads her back to the house. Kazumi falls fast asleep as Umika and Kaoru watch over her, feeling somewhat guilty that they lied to her about their wishes when they first met. They worry that things will "go better this time", and Umika remembers how Kazumi was affected by the Evil Nut. Saki enters, drenched in rain. She asks how Kazumi is doing, specifically with regards to the Evil Nut. Umika has no idea what they are, saying that they'll have to find out from the person who gave them to Yuuri and the Soujus. Saki worries that they've had "another failure", but Umika insists that nothing is wrong. Saki becomes increasingly panicked that they're going to run out of magic and turn into witches like Niko, at which point Umika notices that she's suddenly referring to Kazumi as "Kazumi''-chan''". Saki kicks Umika into the far wall. Umika, wounded, warns Kaoru that Saki is being controlled by Satomi. Satomi (through Saki) exclaims that she has to kill Kazumi, and by the time Umika and Kaoru make it to Kazumi's room, Saki has already kidnapped her.

Umika and the other Pleiades locate Kazumi and Satomi, but by then it's too late - Kazumi has learned from Satomi that she is a clone of her original self, Michiru, and that her memories are fake, and Satomi has become a witch. Kazumi flees in a panic after she realizes that she has killed Satomi. The remaining Pleiades reconvene at Umika's house, unable to locate Kazumi. Umika (along with Saki, Mirai and Niko) affirms her determination to revive Michiru; Kaoru objects, as this means killing the current Kazumi.

Some time later, the Pleiades receive a signal from Kazumi, who demands that they confront her at the Freezer lest she unseal all the Soul Gems there. There, Kazumi speaks with them, ordering them to kill her and try their hardest to revive Michiru. She then transforms into a monster and engulfs the room in a barrier. Kaoru is quickly struck down by the witch; Umika tends to her, realizes that she is merely immobilized, not injured, and breaks the spell Kazumi put on her. Kaoru holds Saki back, having realized that Kazumi is simply creating an illusion so that they'd have no choice but to kill her. As the other Pleiades stand before Kazumi in shock, Mirai cleaves her in two. Kazumi's corpse turns into a balloon-like doll of Niko, as does the Niko that she incapacitated beforehand. The real Niko steps into view, with the real Kazumi safely stowed in her collection tube. Before the Pleiades can overcome their shock, she shoves an Evil Nut into Saki and causes her to become a witch.

{{Spoiler|The witch swiftly kills Mirai and is immobilized by Niko, who reveals her([[Kanna Hijiri|true identity]]). She prepares to attack Umika and Kaoru with the witch when Kazumi breaks out of her prison. Umika and Kaoru run to Kazumi's side, fervently apologizing to Kanna and begging her to help Kazumi, as she is on the verge of turning into a witch. Kanna screams back that they have no idea what she went through when she discovered that she was "made up". Umika quietly responds that Kanna isn't made up, angering her further. Umika shouts at Kanna, saying that they'll never hand Kazumi over to her as long as she insists that the two of them are "made up", as Kazumi's strength of will is something they couldn't possibly have made on their own.}}

{{Spoiler|Kanna, enraged, attacks them with a group of witches (including Saki's). Umika sends Kaoru to attack the witches while she removes Kanna's Gem, but they are both struck down. Kazumi tries to get up and help them (asking them one last time to kill her if she becomes a witch) but her Gem is corrupted to the point where she can't transform. Kaoru and Umika's Gems are also reaching their limit, and Juubey breaks into pieces while trying to purify them.}}

{{Spoiler|Meanwhile, a giant magic circle of Umika's is seen floating above the city, beginning to break down. Umika and Kaoru suddenly remember that Grief Seeds can be used to purify Soul Gems, having apparently forgotten up until this point. Saki's witch is freed from Kanna's control by Kazumi at the last second, and destroys itself. Umika and Kaoru grab its Grief Seed and clean Kazumi's Gem. As the rejuvenated Kazumi fights Kanna, Umika and Kaoru reminisce on how they planned to revive her to begin with.}}

{{Spoiler|Umika was the one to first present the plan to revive Michiru, having extracted information from a witch and retrieved the "heart" that fueled it. She herself referred to it as part of their battle against the magical girl system and ''"them"''. The Pleiades were eagerly looking forward to seeing her again, without a trace of the unhappiness that followed. Umika herself planned to give her the first copy of her new book.}}

{{Spoiler|With her Gem on the verge of breaking, Umika apologizes to Kazumi for leaving her alone again, and looks up at Saki's Grief Seed that they don't know how to dispose of. Suddenly, she and Kaoru remember that they can just feed it to [[{{spoiler|Kyubey}}]], as the magic circle above the city shatters entirely. Having thus realized something, they scream for Kyubey to reveal himself, and he does as if on cue.}}

===Umika in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]]===
* See [[Umika Misaki in Magia Record]]

==Powers and Abilities==
Having made a wish related to writing, her weapon is a magical book. Its main function is to read the opponent's mind with the spell "Ex Fille", their thoughts being written on its pages. Umika can then use that information to identify the enemy's weakness, and come up with a plan. She can summon a protective barrier around her, but she can only maintain it for a limited period of time. She can also study and use other people's magic, such as [[Kyouko Sakura|Kyouko's]] Rosso Fantasma, and release people who have been immobilized by using the spell "Carcere Pausa" (Jailbreak). This implies that Umika could potentially learn many kinds of spells and magic from her enemies if she wished though it's unknown how many types of magic she can use at any one time. She can also summon objects from the book, most often a ball for Kaoru's attacks. For close range attacks, she can transform the book into a double-edged pole, with the covers acting as blades. This pole has the ability to sever the link between humans and pseudo-witches spawned by them or simply act as a melee weapon for Umika to utilise offensively if the need should arise.

Within Magia Record, it is shown her spellbook can generate a shower of blue energetic balls that can fall upon enemies to attack them, though this may be a variation of the 'Ex Fille' spell that is exclusive to the game.

Umika can also manipulate people's memories by headbutting them and firing lasers into their eyes. She has used this to brainwash Juubey, restore Kazumi's memories, and remove Tachibana's and Ishijima's memories of the bomb threat they were involved in. It is unknown to what extent she can actually alter people's memories but as with the case of Juubey, this ability doesn't seem to be limited with humans and could apply to any organism with a high enough cognitive function or high enough intelligence to regard their memories.

{{Spoiler|In Chapter 21, it is revealed that she cast a massive spell over all of Asunaro City as part of the Pleiades' plan to reject the magical girl system. This spell made regular Incubators imperceptible to everyone there, edited their existing memories to include Juubey rather than Kyubey, and removed the knowledge of how to purify Soul Gems without Juubey from all magical girls in the area.}}

In Magia Record, it appears Umika can utilise her doppel, Caterina when her soul gem turns black. Caterina has the ability to fly allowing Umika to transport herself around with it or simply levitate. It can also slam its book wings upon a target and absorb energy from it's surroundings to decimate them.

==Etymology==
* Her first name means "sea scent".
* Her last name means "honorable peninsula".
** Her last name can also be used as a first name.

** It's revealed in chapter 20 that she uses glasses for reading, which explains her habits.

[[Romanes_eunt_domus|However]], the Italian word 'file' in the attack name is specifically used for a "file" in computing; whereas the name of the show refers to a "file" (physical archive) of unexplained phenomena.

{{Nihongo|'''Wraiths'''|魔獣|Majū|lit. magical beasts}} are manifestations of grief in the new world recreated by [[Madoka Kaname]]. They replace the witches that magical girls must fight. They resemble tall, statue-like humanoids wearing robes with no visible limbs (though concept art shows them as having hands that shoot thin lasers to attack). Their faces are partially covered by digital polygon-like shapes that appear to glitch out randomly on or around their being.

==Types of Wraiths==
There are five known types of wraiths, each progressively more powerful:

==History==
===Anime===
====Original Anime====
Wraiths first appear at the post-credits scene of [[episode 12]] of the original anime after Madoka's wish erases all the witches and [[Homura Akemi]] is seen fighting several of them afterwards. It is shown that in the new world, magical girls now fight wraiths instead, which are merely a different form of curses born from humanity. 
They appear to travel in large groups and do not reside in barriers, mostly appearing at night, unable to be seen by normal people. It is implied by [[Kyubey]] that they give off miasma in the air, which supposedly points to how many are in a single area. When defeated, wraiths drop (possibly several) small, cubic fragments of their grief similar to witches' grief seeds that can be harvested by magical girls to clean their soul gems and combat entropy (though Kyubey points out that this comes at the expense of energy efficiency).

====The Rebellion Story====
Wraiths are mentioned but not seen nor focused on in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion]]''.

===Books===
====Manga====
=====Wraith Arc=====
Wraiths feature prominently in the [[manga]] spin-off ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc]]'', where they serve as the main antagonistic forces and sources of conflict in the plot, outside of the characters' interactions with one another. ''Wraith Arc'' also gives more information on the nature, behavior, and types of wraiths. Wraiths are shown to be able to affect soul gems (as performed on [[Sayaka Miki]]), steal away magic powers (as performed on [[Homura Akemi]]), take objects (stealing Homura's ribbons from Madoka), and even take on the forms (including memories and intelligence) of magical girls and possibly other human beings.

==Abilities==
Wraiths possess various powers and abilities, making them formidable enemies for magical girls:

* Teleportation: Wraiths can teleport from one place to another, allowing them to ambush opponents or escape when threatened.

* Invisibility: Much like Kyubey and witches, wraiths are invisible to regular humans, only magical girls can see them. Their ability also masks the presence of magical girls while fighting, which helps keep the existence of magical girls a secret.

* Emotion Siphonage: Wraiths are attracted to unstable emotions and feed on the emotional energy of humans and magical girls. If they consume someone’s heart, that person becomes an emotional shell of themselves. The emotional energy is then converted into a "safe form" as grief cubes and when the wraith carrying them is defeated, they're left behind. However, the cubes are less effective than grief seeds in purifying soul gems and contain the emotional energy collected from people in a purified form.

* Emotion Detection: Wraiths are particularly drawn to the strong emotions of magical girls, especially those with unstable emotions. If a magical girl’s emotions are highly unstable, the wraiths can encase her in a cube while taking a praying position, draining her emotions and making it difficult to escape.

* Aura of Cold: Some wraiths, particularly the stronger types, exude a cold aura that can freeze objects in their surroundings.

* Beams and Projectiles: Wraiths primarily attack magical girls either by shooting energy beams from the glitching around them, or through shooting swords from their palms.

==Mutations==
Certain wraiths have mutated due to absorbing Homura's emotions, gaining unique powers and characteristics:

* Mutant Wraiths: These wraiths are created when they absorbed part of Homura’s memory and time manipulation powers, without being able to convert them into grief cubes. They can take on the form of people close to their targets which are based on their memories to trick their victims. When attacking, they revert to a more wraith-like appearance. Examples include Wraith forms of Mami's parents, Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami herself and Wraith Madoka, who have all appeared to different characters in the series. Due to this disguising ability originating from Homura's memory manipulation magic, only the people who knew those impersonated could be fooled by their disguises, as others see them as wraiths. They also had the power to momentarily stop time to attack, which initially appears as super-speed to others.

* Wraith Madoka: A special mutant wraith that took the form of Madoka and claimed to be an ally of Homura. This wraith was more sentient than others and could communicate telepathically. As it spent more time with Homura, it absorbed more and more of her emotions, even gaining the power of momentarily stopping time herself.

* The Spindle Witch: A giant wraith mutated by the curse inside Homura’s shield. The Spindle Witch is both a wraith and not, being an incomplete witch and serving as a manifestation of calamity. It can instantly kill anything it touches and exerts an immense cold that balances the heat stolen from other beings.

* Homura Models: The Spindle Witch's familiars which resemble both Homura and Deliverance Wraiths. They are mass-produced and attack with energy beams.

==Observations==
* Because Madoka's wish only erased witches, grief was not removed from the new world as Madoka didn't change human nature. As a result, the wraiths are distortions of Madoka's cause and effect of her wish, and give magical girls other means of obtaining grief seeds to clean their soul gems and combat entropy.
* Wraith types are named after Buddhist levels of enlightenment.
** [[wikipedia:Shugend%C5%8D|Shugen]] is a Buddhist-adjacent term referring to a form of asceticism that involves becoming one with nature/kami/the Tao (the practice tends to be syncretic). A Shugenja (practitioner) is an ascetic mountain mystic, one who undergoes severe physical and spiritual training in the wilderness to acquire supernatural powers. They are often seen as itinerant monks or yogis.
** Satori is the Japanese Zen Buddhist term for spiritual awakening and is often translated as "enlightenment." It is different from Buddhahood, as it's more about understanding one's own nature, which in itself is just a step towards complete Buddhahood.
** Moksha is a central concept in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It means emancipation from earthly desires and the ultimate spiritual goal in these traditions. It is freedom from the cycle of reincarnation (Samsara), and thus freedom from all worldly suffering, desires, and the illusion of the self. Unlike Nirvana, a person undergoing Moksha hasn't died yet.
** Normal Wraiths also themselves resemble novice monks or Postulants (Śrāmaṇera), who wear identical robes, shave their heads and let go of their personal identities.
* The Wraiths seem to resemble "[[wikipedia:Morrai|moirae]]" from Greek mythology, beings that personified the inescapable destiny of humanity.
* The Wraiths battled in [[Magia Exedra]] resembles to the skeletal ones seen in the manga concept art.

==Trivia==
* Early fansubs of the anime called wraiths "demons". The name of "wraith" comes from the official translation of the anime.
** The official translations of the original series' first manga versions refer to them as "magical beasts". It should be noted, however, that the official manga translations are already inconsistent with the official anime translations.
* While defeating a wraith that has stolen someone's emotions won't instantly return them, victims may gradually regain their emotions over time regardless. At least, this was implied by Mami to be the case with magical girls, telling Homura to grow stronger to compensate for her lost magic.

A magical girl and a member of the [[Pleiades Saints]], she loves animals, and wants to become a veterinarian when she grows up. Her wish was to gain the ability to talk to animals so she could help them. She uses this power to gather information.

She is the most sensitive of the Pleiades, usually the first to start crying when someone is hurt or there's danger. Satomi appears to be more patient with people than the others and often calls the other girls with the affectionate suffix "-chan" at the end of their names. {{spoiler|However, she hides a calculating and heartless side, and is willing to go any lengths to resurrect the real Kazumi - including using the other Pleiades Saints as pawns.}}

[[File:K11.jpg|thumb|200px]]

==History==
{{spoilers|media=kazumi|margin=330px}}
After a witch traps [[Kaoru Maki|Kaoru]] and [[Umika Misaki|Umika]] inside of itself and takes off, Satomi, [[Saki Asami|Saki]], [[Niko Kanna|Niko]], and [[Mirai]] come to [[Kazumi Subaru|Kazumi's]] aid. They introduce themselves as the [[Pleiades Saints]], a seven-girl witch-hunting team of which Kazumi and her abducted friends are also a part of. Together, they search for Kaoru and Umika across town, with Satomi using her powers to get information from a cat. While they search, a [[Yuuri|mysterious girl]], disguises herself as Satomi and separates Kazumi from the rest of the team. Upon meeting with the real Satomi, Saki realized they had been tricked, and leads the girls to where the fake Satomi brought Kazumi. They proceed to rescue Kazumi just as she is on the verge of defeat.
{{Spoilerbox|
During the battle with {{spoiler|Yuuri's witch form}}, Satomi is captured with the rest of the Pleiades Saints. When Kazumi gains new powers from an Evil Nut, Satomi is actually splattered with the witch's blood when Kazumi catches an attack with her mouth. However, Kazumi is unwilling to fight the witch and even attempts to change her back. Saki then shoots the witch, freeing Satomi and the other Saints. They then attack the witch as they explain to Kazumi that they have no choice but to kill her. Satomi is seen crying during this sequence. Finally Kazumi delivers the final blow, saying she wishes to share this burden with her friends.

Later, Satomi is seen with Kaoru, Saki, and Mirai confronting a magical girl named Sumire Akane. Kaoru uses a spell called ''Tocco del Mare'' (English: ''Touch of the Sea''), causing Sumire to scream. Satomi is shown untransformed, holding out her Soul Gem.

Satomi and the other Pleiades Saints then appear to rescue Kauzmi and Niko from [[Ayase Souju|Ayase and Luca Souju]]. Kaoru says they'll be taking the Soujus' gems. Saki tells Kaoru not to do it in front of Kazumi, but Niko says Kazumi already saw her doing it. Kaoru pulls out both Ayase and Luca's gems with the spell ''Tocco del Mare''. Kazumi angrily asks the others why they're taking the Soul Gems of other magical girls, saying that she said earlier she would bear the burden with her friends. Against Saki's objections, Umika says she'll tell Kazumi the truth about the Pleiades Saints, but as she's speaking Satomi watches as Niko's Soul Gem begins glowing and Niko herself falls to her knees. Backing into Kaoru in horror, Satomi says Niko's name as a witch appears with Niko's body floating in front of it.

After Mirai kills the witch, Satomi has a breakdown, screaming that she doesn't want to die or turn into a witch. It turns out that the witch was only made from Niko's "spare", however, and the real Niko rejoins them. Niko then says they should cut to the chase. Kaoru tells Saki Kazumi can handle it.

At the Freezer, Kazumi asks when everyone found out about the connection between magical girls and wishes. Umika touches her forehead to Kazumi's, telling her to remember everything.

[[File:SatomiAndSare.png|thumb|200px|Satomi and her childhood pet, Sare.]]
The story flashes back into the past. Umika, Kaoru, Satomi, Mirai, Niko, and Saki are standing on a catwalk. They are all displaying a witch's kiss on their necks. Satomi's despair comes from the cat she was on her third birthday, which she named Sare. Years later, she goes out and leaves it alone in her house, despite it's protests. It's then seen in a veterinarian's office, dead. The vets says that if the cat was brought here earlier it might have survived, prompting Satomi to think that this wouldn't have happened if she had just listened. After they were rescued by Kazumi, she became a magical girl in exchange for the ability to talk to animals.

Once the other girls leave, Satomi approaches Saki in the Freezer and says that they should kill Kazumi before she succumbs to the Evil Nut. Saki refuses, prompting Satomi to brainwash her with ''Fantasma Bisbiglio'' (English: ''Ghost Whisperer''). Under Satomi's spell, Saki goes to the Misaki Residence. Umika and Kaoru realize that she's being controlled by Satomi, but Saki fights them off and approaches Kazumi's bedside with a knife (with a cat's skull on the hilt, presumably given to her by Satomi). Before she can finish Kazumi off, she has a brief moment of resistance and stabs herself in the leg instead. Satomi quickly regains control and tells Saki to bring Kazumi to her, before opening another door in the Freezer and revealing several shadowy figures.

Saki teleports Kazumi to a building outside and tells her to run before collapsing. Satomi appears and tells Kazumi the truth: that she's only a clone of the [[Michiru Kazusa|original Kazumi]]. The Pleiades Saints have been trying to revive Michiru by cloning the remnants of her witch, but because Kazumi has been exposed to an Evil Nut, she's beginning to break down. Satomi wishes to be reunited with Michiru, but refuses to see her turn into a witch again. She then summons the previous clones of Michiru and sets them on Kazumi.

Satomi takes control of Kazumi and the clones with Fantasma Bisbiglio, and forces them to kill each other. Kazumi is fatally wounded, but repeatedly regenerates by absorbing the other clones into herself (shocking Satomi). Satomi stabs Kazumi and the last clone, laughing madly as they fall to the ground. {{Spoiler|Kazumi then absorbs the final clone and gets back up, to Satomi's annoyance. As she prepares to attack Kazumi again, her Soul Gem suddenly breaks open, and she becomes a witch. Kazumi narrowly dodges its attack and changes into a monstrous, witch-like form, destroying Satomi's witch. The other Pleiades run up to find Kazumi attacking Satomi's dead body. She snaps back to normal at the sound of Saki's voice, begs the Pleiades to tell her who she really is, and teleports away. Niko retrieves Satomi's body and Grief Seed, and the five remaining girls return to Umika's house. They discuss the situation and decide to revive both Kazumi and Satomi as many times as necessary.}}
}}

==Powers and Abilities==
Due to her wish, she has the ability to talk to animals. It appears that she can also fire magic from her wand. {{spoiler| She can also brainwash and control people with a spell called ''Fantasma Bisbiglio'' (Ghost Whisperer).}}

==Etymology==
* The characters in her last name mean "宇" (eaves), "佐" (to rescue), and "木" (tree) respectively.
** Satomi's surname is meaningful, given her love for animals, as "usagi" can be rendered differently to mean "rabbit".
* The characters in her first name mean "里" (hamlet) and "美" (beauty) respectively.

==Trivia==
* Twin cat-like fangs can be seen when Satomi fully opens her mouth. Together with her cat-like appearance when transformed, and her "Meow" shouts in battle, she was seen as the (mandatory) cat girl in the Madoka universe until [[Yuma Chitose]] and [[Nagisa Momoe]] came along.
* Satomi's magical girl outfit resembles her childhood cat, Sare.
* Like Mami, Satomi is kind and calm, and try to help the other girls. However, {{spoiler|they both seem to have a fragile mind and an unstable attitude, as shown by Satomi's suggestion at the end of Chapter 12. In Chapter 13, Satomi says that it's better for Kazumi to be killed than become a witch, paralleling Mami's breakdown in an alternate timeline.}}
** Satomi's {{spoiler|witch form also bears a similar shape to Candeloro}}.
* Satomi was the one who gave Kazumi her cat, Toto.
