The Witch's House: Slight reorganization and reply

== Upload Issue (Resolved) ==

Was your issue with the pictures resolved? --[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 00:09, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

::Yep, it says I can upload images now and the option even shows up. I'm not sure why it was taking so long, I had the account for more than 24 hours. Hopefully when I get some more freetime I can upload some stuff and help out. [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] 00:17, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
:::Awesome!--[[User:Universalperson|Universalperson]] 00:20, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

== Beautiful Witch cards ==

Somehow wikiwalked here, was thinking to myself if I somehow missed a spinoff where these popped up from. These are gorgeous, and very much in the Inu Curry form. Well done! - [[User:Prima|Prima]] 08:05, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
::Thank you~ I'm glad you like them! c: --[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] 11:24, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I also ran across this. Really neat witch cards. Have more of that stuff anywhere? I have one too.--[[User:Miho Yamamura|Miho Yamamura]] 06:45, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

::Hello! And thank you ^^ I do have a [https://felis-licht.deviantart.com/gallery/35744730/Puella-Magi-Witch-Project DA gallery] with original witches~ I haven't made new ones in awhile though, I've been slowly trying to get back into it, maybe redesign a couple, but RL has been keeping me down. --[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] 21:37, 25 August 2017 (UTC)

These cards are gorgeous. This is very likely a witch the magical girls won't want to battle. (Seriously, who doesn't like sunflowers?)
The Familiars are also really cool. Homu-Harem Member 06:13, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

==Suzune/Tart Magica==

Want to help me on these? [[User:Espeon|Espeon]] 12:14, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
::I could, I own a copy of the manga and I got the raw pages scans as well. - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] 23:23, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

==Magia Record Characters==
Do you know how to add the borders to the characters' images on the Magia Record character page? It looks like Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana still don't have borders.
:Yes I do, I made em' after all (except for the pink ones, but I managed to recreate them recently). I'm aware those 5 don't have the borders and that's because I kinda like the pictures used, but I think they would look a little off compared to the others which are transparent. So I was kinda stuck on whether to make those 5 be transparent or not. I could add the same cloudy background to every other character's picture as well so they all match up, but I'm just not sure. - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 17:55, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
::Eh, they're the main five characters so I can agree with keeping them different from the rest. But for the sake of uniformity, I say you can make them with the gold border and take out the cloudy background (I got those from the magireco website. They were for twitter and facebook avatars). Otherwise, I say keep using gold borders for original characters and pink borders for characters from spin-offs. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 18:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
:::Fair enough. Guess I'll remove the clouds then (and try to keep them clean). Should the Rumor and Wings of Magius also have the border? - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 21:46, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Hey Witch's House, I can try helping you with making some of the witch cards that are missing, such as Paola / Bona and the others if you wouldn't mind sharing your card and background files that you use to make them. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 21:46, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
:Sure thing, here's the card template I use: https://imgur.com/6TeRWQw It's modified from [[User:SPDUDE48|SPDUDE48's]] template, only difference is I fixed the borders. Been busy lately, so that's why I'm kinda slacking on this (being sick also doesn't help) - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 10:33, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
::I noticed the Rumor cards use a darker background. Could I maybe have that template as well? [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 23:39, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello! I put borders on the newly released magical girls in magia record because it was bothering the heck out of me haha. Anyways, Hopefully what I did is up to par with with the other icons lol. I’m not good at updating wikis so I’ll have to leave the next step to you if you decide to use these, thanks! https://imgur.com/a/jHaNb3t --[[User:Hotmess Express|Hotmess Express]] ([[User talk:Hotmess Express|talk]]) 22:39, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

== Madogatari witch ==

Hello, could you make a card for [https://a-nima-figure.blog.ss-blog.jp/2016-10-05 this witch?] There's also a photo of the minions [https://a-nima-figure.blog.ss-blog.jp/2016-10-04 here], but the quality isn't great so it might be a better idea to just use the ??? card and add them to the gallery. What do you think? --[[User:AlsoArei|AlsoArei]] ([[User talk:AlsoArei|talk]]) 22:19, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
::I think I might be able to do it. I'll see about making it sometime this week. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 23:16, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
:::Done! I can't quite replicate the name runes nor do the minions art, but I managed to get the little witch kiss in there. If there's anything wrong with it let me know and I'll make some changes. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 07:03, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

== just talk ==

Do you have any social media? I would love to just talk to you!

:Hello, if you mean like Twitter I don't have one. I have a [https://www.deviantart.com/felis-licht/ DeviantArt] and [https://fulisha-of-light.tumblr.com/ Tumblr] though, but I've been a bit busy lately with other things. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 00:48, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

== Kazumi Magica art ==

Hello, I noticed you were the one who have added the color images used for the main cast of Kazumi in the [[Kazumi Magica Characters|character page]]. These look to be a better-quality version of this [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Kazupre.jpg preorder bonus] and I was wondering if you still had access to the full image? No worries if not, it's been a pretty long time.--[[User:Athree|Athree]] ([[User talk:Athree|talk]]) 23:50, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
:Indeed I do. I was trying to get a hold of physical copies of the Kazumi bonuses to scan and make available in higher quality, but for some reason my scanner kinda screwed up the quality and added scan lines to the image. Tried to fix them but it didn't work out, and I planned on getting back to it at a later time but kinda forgot ^^; If you want, I can find some time to scan it again and try to get better quality, or upload the file as is (also got a couple other bonuses than that one as well.) -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 18:47, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
If you could scan it again, that'd be great, but don't worry about it! But I'm curious, what other extras do you have, and do you remember what volume they came from? There's a few in the Kazumi page that I couldn't match with a volume or publisher, so I just put them at the end of the gallery without a description. I did find a collection of all extras for volumes 4 and 5 though, so presumably all the unindentified bonuses are from 1-3. --[[User:Athree|Athree]] ([[User talk:Athree|talk]]) 20:11, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
::Other than that one, I have the following [https://i.imgur.com/d4pAqCE.jpg here] and [https://i.imgur.com/xaE7jhw.jpg here]; one of them (the Toranoana volume 3 extra) has Rosetta Meteora on the back of it, which I already managed to successfully scan and upload [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Puella_Magi_Kazumi_Magica_Special_Edition_Rosetta_Meteora.png here]. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 04:59, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello, it's been a while! Did you manage to solve the problem with your scanner? --[[User:Athree|Athree]] ([[User talk:Athree|talk]]) 04:49, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
::I haven't found the time to scan them, sorry (had a lot of things going on lately as well.) If the quality still doesn't improve when I try scanning them again, I may have to go to a print and scan place to see if they can do better, unless you or someone else out there knows how to edit and fix scan lines on the raw image. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 22:42, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
No problem, good luck with whatever's keeping you busy! Unfortunately I'm barely at the "crop with Paint" stage of image editing, so I can't help with that. --[[User:Athree|Athree]] ([[User talk:Athree|talk]]) 06:29, 6 April 2024 (UTC)

The Witch's House:

== Introduction ==
'''Felicia''' ({{Runes|FELICIA}}) is the witch form of [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]], who wished to be able to draw everything and anything without error. She is a fanmade witch who does not appear in any canonical works.
She goes by the name [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] on this wiki, and is the creator of some of the witch cards for witches that don't have any such as [[Candeloro]] and [[Ophelia]] (on Tumblr that were uploaded by another user at the time) and also creates her own witches. Her favorite characters are [[Kyubey]] and the witches.

Currently working on a project to create 100 original witch designs~

'''In general (re-organize later)''':
*They are creatures that spread curses, often causing unexplained accidents, murders and/or suicides, manipulating humans via a mark called a Witch Kiss. Whenever there's a kiss on someone, that Witch is almost always close by controlling them.
**Magia Record reveals that Familiars can also manipulate humans with a Witch kiss.
*They are the "mature" forms of magical girls, the result of a soul gem becoming entirely tainted in darkness and a magical girl falling into despair. It's the key emotion that leads to witchification.
**Both are not needed for the girl to turn, but go hand in hand when it happens such as Homura giving up in episode 12 and her gem started rapidly corrupting in response. There seems to be a few exceptions to this however:

***In Kazumi Magica the girls were polishing their gems via [[Juubey]] under the belief that they were being cleaned, and despite their mental state being fairly normal, Niko and Saki turned into witches when their gems reached their limits (though Saki's was influenced due to an Evil Nut.)
***In MagiReco Iroha had neglected cleaning her soul gem after being in Kamihama for awhile, but her mental state hadn't declined in the slightest. When her gem was reaching its limit, Iroha was incapacitated and in pain.
**[[Tweets#Gen_Urobuchi.2C_Script_Writer_2|According to Urobuchi in a tweet]], a magical girl who doesn't know the truth about her soul gem and gets injured to the point that she genuinely believes she will die will have her soul gem darken immediately. Thus, if a magical girl like Mami lost her head but her soul gem was safe, she would become a witch quickly as she doesn't know the truth about soul gems and would despair due to believing she is dying/dead.

*It's implied that Witches can only be made out of beings that have a soul and are capable of emotion, and may not actually be limited by one's species (i.e. humans). Evidence for this:

**In Tart Magica, Kyubey points out that the Witch transformation only happens to other life forms and not Incubators. This is in relation to Isabeau who, while wished to have everything Kyubey had, couldn't avoid becoming a Witch as she was still a human and had emotions and a soul.
**Magia Record introduces the concept of a "Half-Witch" via Eve, who is the result of Ui's soul being removed from her body before her impurities could corrupt her soul. After her soul was transferred into Little Kyubey, it prevented Ui from becoming a Witch and her impurities instead corrupted and transformed her soulless body.
***This however creates a strange contradiction in that Touka had mentioned that without a soul, a Witch just dies. It's possible that the impurities and emotions, likely residues of it within her body, were the only thing that kept it going.
**Touka also mentions that (in relation to Incubators) Little Kyubey is incapable of becoming a Witch as it has no emotions and didn't appear to be affected in any way when it merged with Eve. It's very likely that Incubators are the only known species unable to become a Witch due to their lack of these things (soul and emotions.)
***Though Little Kyubey's case is stranger still as it very clearly expresses something due to having its powers taken away by Ui, Touka, and Nemu, and then having Ui's soul in its body. Even after the soul was removed, Little Kyubey still acts the same.
*Witches and their Familiars give off magic patterns that can be tracked by magical girls. All of their magical patterns are also different.
**Soul Gems react the closer one is in response to a Witch's magic. The level of response to a Soul Gem tells the strength of their magical power, e.g. the greater power of a witch vs. the lesser one of a familiar. They can also be used to open an entrance into a labyrinth. (revealed in Mami's route in Portable)
*Witches are invisible to normal humans, but can be seen by magical girls and potential ones. According to [[Touka Satomi]]'s MSS in Magia Record, the reason why is because Witches, Familiars and their Labyrinths exist on a very specific wavelength that can only be perceived as light and sound.
**Oriko contradicts this however when Madoka's classmates were able to see Kirika's labyrinth and familiars. The reason for this could be because they're not under the influence of a Witch's kiss while in the labyrinth. Evidence for this is:

***Sayaka's route in Portable with with Kyosuke and Hitomi
***Tart Magica with Isabeau's Witch being so big that her labyrinth trapped all of France, allowing Tart's soldiers and Isabeau's soldiers to see and fight Witches
***In [[Magia Record Story The Green Jasper Diviners|Magia Record's Green Jasper Diviners Event]], Chiharu's mom and Shizuka's mom fought Familiars in a village engulfed in a labyrinth. It was also mentioned that they couldn't fight off the Familiars unless their weapons were infused with magic (heavily implying normal weapons are incapable of harming Witches/Familiars and that only magic can hurt them)
***In Madoka's A La Carte Valentine story in MagiReco, Kako says that one doesn't have to be a magical girl to see Familiars inside a Witch's labyrinth. This implies that normal human beings can only see Familiars and Witches if they're in a labyrinth (and also not under a Witch's kiss.)
***In [[Sasara Minagi]]'s MSS, it's noted that those cursed by a Witch's kiss become unconscious and don't usually remember what happened, further confirming this theory.
****This doesn't explain, however, why Walpurgisnacht specifically has no labyrinth but '''''still''''' can't be seen by humans. It's possible that, like Kyubey, Walpurgisnacht could just choose to be invisible to humans so that it could continue its destruction without interruption and magical girls/potential ones just can't be fooled by this. It could also be because of its incredible strength that allows it to do this.

*The level of sentience in Witches and Familiars appears to vary. The large majority are animal-like, being unable to recognize friends/family nor act human anymore. Some interesting exceptions:

**In Kazumi Magica, while Saki's Witch had killed Mirai, she is later seen protecting Kazumi from Kanna's witches in The Freezer. It was noted that this was because her Witch's nature was "sisterly love" and Saki was in love with Kazumi (who was Michiru's clone, and she loved the original as well.)
**MagiReco has the Mirror Witch's Familiars inviting others into their labyrinth via letters a few times. It's also shown that this Witch's ability allows it to create copies of others such as magical girls who can act almost like the original, and even converse like a normal person. They drop the act once they're exposed though.
***Isabeau's Witch is a very unique case in that, because of [[Lapin]]'s wish to return her to how she was before becoming a Witch and the transformation itself being irreversible, the corrupted mind of the Witch was made to inhabit Isabeau's body. Her speech was shown to be severely limited however (though MagiReco might contradict this given her playble status via Quotes), and yet was able to be understood by her daughters and retain her ambition to destroy all of France.
****While this transformation was noted to be irreversible, the Different Story had Madoka wishing to revive Sayaka after she became a Witch and died. This likely because of Madoka's potential though, which was greater than Lapin's.
****Even so, Lapin's ability from her wish has made it possible for her to avoid permanently becoming a Witch, being shown to transform back to how she was before with seemingly no change to her personality nor any other drawbacks. As such, Lapin is currently the only known magical girl who is effectively immune to witchification.

*They primarily feed on humans and kill them, though it's debatable on whether most or all Witches literally consume prey or simply drain their life force (or a combination of the two.) Familiars also do this in order to grow up into a Witch themselves.
**Other than Charlotte, Oriko Magica also suggests actual consumption rather than the latter as Kikira's Witch's Familiars devoured a person, though this could vary based on the Familiar type.
**MagiReco also has Witches and Familiars consuming Grief Seeds to become stronger.
**In the MagiReco anime, it's been shown that Witches can and will kill each other if they trespass each other's territories and will result in the loser dropping a grief seed. So it's likely that Witches, or rather most in general, will target each other and consume the other like any other prey.
*The MagiReco anime shows the appearance of multiple of the same Witch, confirming that Familiars do in fact grow up into an exact copy of the original and not a different one.

*Mami's route in the Portable game reveals the following information:
**Witches are generally cautious which is why they are generally not in public, but lurk at the back of labyrinths. ''Note: It implies strong and/or confident witches may choose to not have labyrinths.''
**Witches move around and like to be in ominous places where the negative feelings of many people are easier to gather. MagiReco contradicts this with Witches appearing in non-ominous places, but that could be because of the above point, that they are stronger than normal and thus more confident in attacking anywhere they want.
**The complexity of the labyrinth gives indication of the strength of the witch. Stronger witches have more complex labyrinths. MagiReco confirms this with the Mirror Witch, [[Sarah Mirabilis W]].
***Exceptions to this are [[Walpurgisnacht]], Hyades Daybreak, and [[Shitori Egumo]], all of which are very large and powerful Witches created under unusual circumstances.
**If someone, whether a regular human or a magical girl dies in the labyrinth, their body disappears there. They will forever be considered a missing person to the rest of the world. However in Sayaka's route where she looses her soul gem, it is implied that as long as the witch is still alive something lost can be recovered, but once the witch is defeated then everything inside the labyrinth vanishes and can't be recovered.

*Witches seem to have very distinct appearances and naming schemes between modern times (Madoka) and medieval times (Tart), though this could be because of different artists:
**Witches in Tart's time tend to look more detailed and realistic compared to Witches in modern times which are abstract and organic.
**Witches in Tart's time also seem to follow a different naming conventions compared to the shorter, more normal names Witches have in modern times, where they seem to indicate a title such as Tart, Melissa, Elisa and Isabeau's Witches.

[[File:The oversexualization of candeloro.jpg|right|thumb|300px|stay away from 4chan if you know what is good for you...]]

are we going to consider the game canon?... there is always issues with games... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 02:20, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
:The scenarios are written by Urobuchi, Shaft and Inu Curry are doing the designs, the seiyuu are voicing their characters so yeah, I'd say it's reasonable to consider it at least as canonical as the manga spin-offs, which also have share the character page and so on. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 02:22, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
::Actually, Urobuchi did not write it (or not ''all of it''). He mainly "Supervise" the script. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 02:25, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
:::True, though the way it was explained, I have no qualms of it having the complete Urobuchi stamp of approval: The scenarios of the game version will be under full supervision by Gen Urobuchi of Nitroplus. Regarding that Doi noted that “the game will have multiple ending and I would like to drill down to explore the aspects of the characters that have not been seen before.” He also mentioned Urobuchi came to the development site frequently to have discussions. Doi looked satisfied with the result and said “I have high expectation of the scenarios.” At the very least, it will be as canonical as the drama CDs, which were also under his supervision. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 02:32, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
:It won't hurt listing the witch in characters page though, as long as we mark it as '''''from PSP game'''''. (Just like how we treat Oriko/Kazumi, etc.) Personally I think if Inu Curry designs it, at very least ''the witch form'' could be considered canon (even if the story itself may not be quite so). --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 02:25, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
::I swear I'll never get people's gripes with canon sources that aren't the main and original source, even if they're just as official... but oh well. As a personal note, I read a number of fan descriptions for Mami's witch form... and this doesn't hold a candle to some of them (no pun intended). It seems too bland, to be honest. I like the idea of the familiars being built into the image or her kouhais; and I have a sort-of childish satisfaction over having called it. --[[User:BrickBreak|BrickBreak]] 03:01, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Well, it matters for two reasons: One is clarity. For example, if someone has only seen the anime and knows Kyubey, mentions of Jubey is going to be confusing. The more works there are produced, the more confusing it will get as the body of information and discrepancies among sources grows larger. The second is that some fans care about sources and made subjective opinions on which they consider canonical and which do not. There will no doubt be some who do not consider some combination of the three manga, the game or the drama CDS to not be canon but rather than make those distinctions, we simply rule out things that are definitely not canonical (like the Comic Anthology) and make sure to list the sources for the rest because of reasons 1 and 2. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 03:22, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Who made the Witch Card? Is that the official description from the magazine or is it fanmade? --[[User:SPDUDE48|SPDUDE48]] 24:13, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
:It's... almost certainly fanmade, I believe. The image was cropped directly from the magazine screenshot and pasted over the Anthony card, and part of the text reads something like "the dynamite body unlike that of a high-schooler which she had in her previous life". [[User:Neuchadjinys|Neuchadjinys]] 05:19, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
:It's from 2ch, hence it's in the fanart section...or at least that's where I put it. I can't say where anyone has used it (can't track everything). I can say there's no official card anywhere that I've seen thus far and I don't expect to see a real one anytime soon either. The ones for the anime weren't released until after they were shown in it. The game...is still months away from being sold.--[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 05:59, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
::Pretty much all of the manga ones are fanmade, too, so I don't think it's a problem (though maybe erasing that description for the page version would be good). --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 06:29, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

:Sayaka had a fish tail, and you're concerned with Mami having one more color? LOL, but really, it's probably to break up the mass of yellow. All the witches are multicolored like that. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 02:21, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

I just noticed this, when did the familiars' names get confirmed as "'''Du Polignac'''"? I just want a confirmation of this to figure out whether or not I should be updating the card with the proper name (if that is the one anyways.) --[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 06:47, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Hey, while I wasn't the one who changed it, I think I figured it out. This article (https://a-nima-figure.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2016-10-12) in Japanese explains it. Basically, it got confirmed in the MADOGATARI event. The article even notes how strange it is for the tag on Candelero had Du Polignac and assumed it was apart of her name at first. --[[User:Prinpop|Prinpop]] ([[User talk:Prinpop|talk]]) 22:44, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
:Thank you for the clarification! --[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 02:11, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

==New information==
I noticed there was new information given to candeloro and her familiars some time ago. 'She hosts a tea party every day within her home at the depths of her labyrinth, but eating the food there will remove one's soul. Her body is so small, it could fit in a tea cup. She mainly transports herself by hanging onto her familiars' bodies like a keyholder.' 'They are precious friends of the witch. They come in different forms, such as Akairo-san or Momoiro-san, but they all have the same task.' These don't seem to be in the original portable game profile. If they are true, I think a source proving it would be good, thanks. [[User:DreamerWitches|DreamerWitches]] ([[User talk:DreamerWitches|talk]]) 15:44, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

It's from the same source as the familiar's names, just above your comment. --[[User:AlsoArei|AlsoArei]] ([[User talk:AlsoArei|talk]]) 17:58, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

I see... I feel silly for missing that. So that's just the updated bio from Madogatari, it's good to know now. Also from the article I found that the familiars go as follows: Madoka is "Momoiro-san", Kyoko is "Akairo-san", Sayaka "Aoiro-san", Homura "Kuroiro-san" or "Murasakiiro-san", Hitomi "Midoriiro-san". But they're all called Du Polignac. There was also some information that I saw to be interesting but I wasn't very sure how to decipher it..

'What was written in the material

"A long purple table in the witch's house"

"Design furniture bigger than usual so that players can be child-sized."

"Pendant form"

"How to put on Mami → Gatchirichocho Musubi behind the neck. Bring the Mami hair roll from the back to the front and complete."

"Mami accessories completed" "Only the ribbon (hand) is left outside"

"Are you stretching or contracting the skirt of the witch?"' '

I would also love to find the images of the other Du Polignac girls. Though it may be a tough search.. [[User:DreamerWitches|DreamerWitches]] ([[User talk:DreamerWitches|talk]]) 19:19, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

No, I believe those are hypothetical names that the blog writer gave to the different sorts of Du Polignacs. It says "If I had to give them names, they'd be..." before the list, and afterwards "Those are the sort of names you'd expect for them, but they weren't actually published anywhere." --[[User:AlsoArei|AlsoArei]] ([[User talk:AlsoArei|talk]]) 20:38, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

==Hitomi==
Any speculation about the Hitomi like familiars? I find it odd that they choose Hitomi as an important person to Mami over Nagisa or Mabayu.

Most importantly, since Madogatari happened between Rebellion and Walpurgisnacht Rising are they hinting on the possibility that Hitomi finally becomes Meguca?[[User:Wishgrantingdarkness|Wishgrantingdarkness]] ([[User talk:Wishgrantingdarkness|talk]]) 13:37, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

:Different timelines make different connections. Who knows, maybe she was friends with Hitomi in some timeline. At the moment, that's the only information we have. It seems most likely, since the form of her Familiars change depending on who she is closest to (Madoka and Kyoko in Portable/Battle Pentagram, Sayaka and Kyoko in the Different Story). ~ [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 14:32, 24 April 2025 (UTC)

<blockquote>''"I want you to make contracts with me and become magical girls!"'' - Kyubey, [[Episode 1]].</blockquote>

{{Nihongo|'''Kyubey'''|キュゥべえ|Kyūbē}} is a {{nihongo|"messenger of magic"|魔法の使者|mahō no shisha}} who grants the wishes of young girls, but in exchange contracts their services as magical girls. Girls who form a contract with him are tasked to defeat witches — bizarre entities that feed upon the hopes and dreams of normal people. Kyubey features prominently as a character within the entire ''Puella Magi'' series.

==Appearance==
Kyubey is a small cat-like creature about two feet long (including tail). His entire body is covered in often clean, white fur. He has what appear to be four ears; two that resemble an average cat, pointed and up, while the other two appear as long tassel-like appendages that split into three sections at their tip. The tassels fade from white to pink and have three red dots horizontally before the splits. they also bear a pair of floating golden rings.

Kyubey's face is his most well known feature; two beady pink and eyes with dark maroon irises and a tiny, omega-shaped "cat mouth". Due to Kyubey's method of telepathic communication, his face remains almost completely unmoving except for blinking and consuming food. This unmoving face is often a source of fan stigma involving Kyubey "staring into one's soul".

On his back is an egg-shaped red oval. In episode 6, this oval flips up, like a trapdoor to act as a receptacle for grief seed fragments.

In the anime, Kyubey has not been evidenced to bleed, however, when injured, he has red matter underneath his fur. When he is shot by Homura several times, Kyubey's body does not seem to contain organs, only solid red. Whether this is artistic censorship or an actual attribute of Kyubey's anatomy is yet unknown.

In the anime, Kyubey's body often makes noises like a plush toy when squeezed or pressed against, suggesting that he is soft and cuddly, at least physically.

In ''Oriko Magica'', Kyubey takes on even more of a "plush toy" appearance than before. Now, his sharp tipped tassel ears are soft and curved, lacking the pink gradient and red spots. His magical hoops have moved further up his ears and his front legs appear to have shortened.

==Personality==
Kyubey is an alien known as an "incubator". Because of this, he, like his race, cannot exhibit emotions of any kind. As a result, Kyubey often appears cold, calculating and scheming; traits that make him appear villainous in the series. Kyubey, however, only seeks to achieve a goal; to preserve the universe from entropy. To meet this goal, he takes all means logically efficient and reasonable; namely creating Magical Girls. Initially, Kyubey appears enthusiastic to help the Magical Girls in their quest, offering advice where applicable, however, as more of his true motive is revealed, either by him or others, Kyubey becomes progressively more passive and observatory in manner (although this could be because he has no advice left to offer).

Kyubey uses certain speech patterns that indicate he may see himself as superior to the magical girls; the lack of honorifics, the use of the pronouns "Boku" (僕) and "Kimi" (君) and the misuse or overall lack of polite verbs suggests that he is either rude or very casual towards the girls. However, due to his emotionless nature, and the fact that he is an alien, Kyubey may simply not understand the need to be polite, as opposed to being direct.

{{spoiler|Throughout the series, Kyubey is often accused of trickery and deceit by turning girls into Magical Girls, and subsequently witches, treating humans as energy livestock under the guise of being a miracle granter. Although this can easily be understood, Kyubey states that he never intended to "trick" Magical Girls, but simply leave out traumatizing subtext in order to make the process more appealing to a potential Magical Girls.}}

==Description==

|style="padding:10px; background:#fff;"|
Kyubey is an Incubator, a member of an alien race dedicated to counteracting the effects of (and possibly negating) entropy: the principle that energy output is always less than energy input, a fact that is presently causing the universe to slowly die out. In order to achieve this, Kyubey collects raw energy from a source that seems to be excepted from entropy: the emotions of girls in their second growth stage (14-18). To harvest this energy, Kyubey forms contracts with teenage girls, trading one wish for their servitude as a Puella Magi, magical girls who use their powers to defeat the evil witches, who then drop grief seeds. The energy produced during this process is then harvested by Kyubey through unknown means. Kyubey does not reveal, however, that Puella Magi turn into witches after falling into despair, which are then fought by other Puella Magi, creating an endless cycle. Because of this, Kyubey is often seen as the true antagonist of the series, despite the fact that his justification is that he is saving countless other sectors of the universe in doing so. Kyubey's goal during the course of ''Madoka Magica'' is to turn Madoka into an incredibly powerful Puella Magi, who will then destroy Walpurgis Night and become the most powerful witch, Kriemhild Gretchen, a process which apparently produces obscene amounts of energy, at the expense of the human race (as there would be no Puella Magi able to defeat the most powerful witch).

==Story==

==== In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc|Wraith Arc]] ====
<blockquote>''"There are times when humans become attached to dreams. Until now, civilization has been build in order to repeat those desires. But, longing too much for ungranted wishes hinders the consciousness and leads humans towards ruin."'' - Kyubey, Wraith Arc, Ch. 7 </blockquote> [[File:Kyubey wraith arc.png|thumb|200px|Kyubey in Wraith Arc]]

* Kyubey first appears in Chapter 1, watching Kyoko and Sayaka quarrel and talking with Mami about the giant wraith that looms over the city. He worries about their lack of teamwork.
* In Chapter 2, Kyubey tells Sayaka of a wraith that is currently hunting down Hitomi. Later he appears again after Kyoko and Sayaka's second fight to warn them that Mami is in danger as it seems the giant wraith has taken advantage of their absence in order to target Mami.
* In Chapter 3, he tells Homura to pace herself better in her relentless battle against the wraiths. They discuss the law of cycles and Kyubey's doubts on the veracity of Homura's tale of the previous universe.
* In Chapter 4, Kyubey continues their discussion on the nature of Homura's new magical ability of memory manipulation, stating her time-manipulation magic would be very useful and voicing a curiosity at seeing this time of ability. Later, he is seen riding on Homura's shoulders as they search the city for the whereabouts of the giant wraith.
* In Chapter 6, Kyubey examines the mutant wraith posing as Madoka, noting Homura's magic and a large amount of curses emanating from within the wraith. Later, Homura talks with Kyubey and asks him what she wished for in this world in order to become a magical girl, but Kyubey doesn't know the answer.
* In Chapter 7, Kyubey is seen in flashback granting Homura's original wish to go back in time in order to protect Madoka. At Homura's apartment, Kyubey comes to see what has become of Homura now that {{spoiler|she has let all her emotions be consumed by a wraith in order to avoid meeting the Law of Cycles.}}
* In Chapter 9, Kyubey appears it the final pages as Homura discusses with him the previous universe despite Kyubey not believing what she is telling him. As Homura drops to the streets below to battle the wraiths, Kyubey {{spoiler|takes out the piece of Homura's time shield he salvaged in the previous timeline, allowing him to keep his memories of all the events of Wraith Arc and giving him the proof he needed of the existence of Madoka.}}

==== In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion|The Rebellion Story]] ====

Kyubey spends the majority of the movie playing as the cute mascot he appears to be, complete with only responding with the word "Kyu" whenever anyone interacts with him.

|-
!style="text-align:left; padding:10px;"|Warning, this section contains spoilers about the movie.
|-
|style="padding:10px; background:#fff;"|
By the end of the film, as Homura is transforming into a witch, Kyubey drops his charade and reveals this world to be a witch's barrier that was created inside of Homura's soul gem as a way to lure the Law of Cycles in. This way the Incubators will be able to observe her and ultimately control her, bringing back the old witch system rather than relying on grief cubes to harvest their emotional energy. He is unable to convince Madoka to exhibit her ultimate powers and Homulilly is defeated. After Homura resets the universe, Kyubey and the other Incubators are forced to shoulder the burden of the world's curses.

Kyubey appears in Chapters 2, 4, 5, 14, 20 and 21 of [[Kazumi Magica]].

* In Chapter 4 Kyubey is seen at the very beginning of the chapter, sitting next to [[Jubey]] as they watch the [[Pleiades Saints]]. He cryptically asks if things will go better "this time".
* In Chapter 5 Kyubey's role is expanded. He appears briefly when Yuuri becomes a witch, similar to the end of Episode 8. He then further appears in the extended flashback of [[Yuuri]]'s and Airi's backstory. First he contracts with Yuuri, and then after Yuuri becomes a witch and is killed by the Pleiades he explains exactly what happened to Airi, culminating in her contracting with him. When she contracts, he tells her that "[[Episode 10|Your wish has surpassed entropy.]]" Kyubey also tells Airi about the Pleaides Saints when she asks who killed Yuuri. During the entire chapter, Kyubey either appears as a shadow or in the shadows. It's quite clear that he is manipulating Airi, and that he is ultimately responsible for almost all of the subsequent events in the series beyond simply contracting magical girls to become witches.
* In Chapter 14, Kyubey's face is seen as Satomi realizes the truth of where witches come from after watching Michiru become one. He is also seen watching from above (like [[Niko]] and Jubey, who can be seen a few panels before) while Satomi reveals the truth of the clones to Kazumi and forces them to fight one another.
* In Chapter 20, Kyubey appears in person when {{Spoiler|Umika and Kaoru call for him, having recovered their memories of Incubators, which were suppressed by a spell cast by Umika.}}
* In Chapter 21, Kyubey reveals that Incubators don't have individual consciousnesses. They are like a network terminal connected to one single consciousness.
** Strangely, Kyubey ''"wanted"'' to talk to Juubey, it wanted to talk to another of his kind, {{spoiler|even if it was man-made}}.
** It's implied that {{Spoiler|in all of the flashbacks from previous chapters, any appearances by Juubey were actually of Kyubey. This suggests that Kyubey was manipulating Airi and Kanna in order to make them go after the Pleiades Saints.}}

<blockquote>''"What a shame, huh?" --"Incubator...!!" "Well, I found her. I found Madoka Kaname."'' - Kyubey, Oriko and Homura. Puella Magi Oriko Magica, [[Oriko_Magica#Chapter_6:_Someday_isn.27t_today|Chapter 6]].</blockquote>
[[File:Kyubeyinoriko01.png|thumb|145px|Kyubey as he appears in Oriko Magica.]]
* In Chapter 1, Kyubey contracts with [[Oriko]], who tells him of [[Yuma]], another Puella Magi candidate he should try contracting. He later tries to convince Yuma to contract with him, but is stopped by [[Kyoko]]. Kyoko then learns from him about the recent murders of Puella Magi. When he appears again, speaking with Oriko, he claims that human emotions are unfathomable to him. Oriko replies that he should learn to appreciate them, as they give him what he desires.
* In Chapter 2, he successfully contracts with Yuma after Kyoko is attacked by a witch.
* In Chapter 3, he tells [[Mami]] about the recent murders of Puella Magi. He says that the most recent victim told him the murderer was a "black Puella Magi," and not a witch.
* In Chapter 5, Kyubey discusses the identity of the black magical girl with Mami, and told her he never mentioned Kirika because he had no proof it was her. He discovers Oriko's plot to kill Madoka before she can contract and eventually become a witch, and tries to stop her.
* In Chapter 6, he sends Kyoko and Yuma to help Mami defeat the witch that has put a barrier around Mitakihara Junior High, as well as stop Oriko, who has gone out of control. Despite both Homura and Oriko's attempts to hide Madoka from him, he finds her inside the barrier.
* In Chapter 7, {{spoiler|Oriko uses the last of her life to shoot a piece of Kirika's witch body through him and Madoka, who was hidden behind him, through a wall. She kills the girl before she can contract, foiling both Homura and Kyubey's plans.}}

Kyubey also appears in ''Noisy Citrine'', the prequel manga that focuses on [[Kirika Kure]].

Additionally, Kyubey exhibits a power he hasn't shown before Oriko Magica: levitation. He is rarely seen standing on anything in the manga, usually preferring to float in mid-air.

==== In [[Puella Magi Suzune Magica|Suzune Magica]] ====
<blockquote>''"...But apart from the use we've found for them, emotions are nothing but illogical, needless impulses that you ought to expunge from yourselves. "'' - Kyubey, Suzune Magica Ch. 8 </blockquote> [[File:Kyubey suzune magica.jpg|thumb|200px|Kyubey in Suzune Magica]]

* Kyubey first appears at the end of Chapter 2, telling the [[Hohzuki]] magical girls about [[Suzune]] assassinating magical girls.
* In Chapter 3, Kyubey is shown in a flashback forming a contract with [[Arisa]].
* In Chapter 5, Kyubey is shown in a flashback forming a contract with [[Haruka]].
* In Chapter 6, Kyubey appears at the end of the chapter to confirm Suzune's claims.
* In Chapter 7, Kyubey informs the girls that he is the one who proposed the magical girl system in the first place. He explains entropy and the reason he withheld information from the girls. After Suzune leaves, he shows the girls a vision of Suzune's past and her reason for assassinating magical girls as well as his role in forming a contract with Suzune.
*In Chapter 8, Kyubey's head is crushed by Arisa after explaining it was more efficient to let Suzune murder magical girls rather than stop her. At the end of the chapter, he has a short discussion with Suzune on how illogical and useless emotions are.
* In Chapter 9, Kyubey is seen at the end of the chapter urging [[Kagari]] to action.
* In Chapter 11, Kyubey is seen at the end of the chapter asking Kagari what her next action will be.
* In Chapter 12, Kyubey is shown in a flashback, forming a contract with [[Matsuri]] and offering the same to Kagari. He is walking around the city with the girls as they search for [[Tsubaki]].
* In Chapter 13, {{spoiler|Kyubey is shown in flashback eating what appears to be a previous body of his as he explains to Kagari the manner in which magical girls turn into witches. Afterwards, Kagari makes a contract with Kyubey in order to exact revenge on Suzune. Kyubey is willing to go along with her plan so long as the energy that is lost from the murdered magical girls is less than the energy he'll collect from Kagari, Matsuri and Suzune.}}
* In Chapter 15, {{spoiler|Kyubey appears to assist Matsuri in combat against Kagari. He explains Kagari's abilities to her and helps her by reminding her of her ability to track people. }}
* In Chapter 16, {{spoiler|Kyubey appears to inform Suzune that even should she use her last grief seed to save Matsuri, Matsuri may turn into a witch from the sheer grief of losing Kagari and Suzune. At the end of the chapter, Kyubey is seen talking to Matsuri and lamenting the amount of energy he would have gathered from her. }}

==== In [[Puella Magi Tart Magica|Tart Magica]] ====
<blockquote>''"I must admit, you aren't the first to have called me an angel. Are there that many outward similarities between what you call "angels" and myself?"'' - Kyubey, Tart Magica, Ch. 2.</blockquote> [[File:Tartmagica cube.png|thumb|300px|Kyubey in Tart Magica]]

Kyubey appears in [[Tart Magica]], calling himself ''"Cube"'' (''キューブ Kyūbu'') and often times (an) Angel by [[Tart]].
* He first appears in Chapter 2 alongside [[Riz Hawkwood]] when she saved Tart and her sister [[Catherine]] from a witch.
** Because the rings that float around his tassels resemble angel halos, Tart believes him to be an angel and refers to him as such. Kyubey notes that Tart isn't the first to have called him one and wonders if there are that many similarities between himself and angels. He also states that he doesn't mind being called an angel by Tart.
** Kyubey and Riz reveal to Tart that they have been searching for her. Upon asking for her name, she introduces herself as Jeanette and Kyubey asks her to write it to see how it's spelled (where she spells her full name as "Jeanne Tart"). Kyubey likes the sound of Tart better than Jeanne (as it is a common name) and begins referring to her as Tart.
* Riz and Tart travel to meet the King, encountering [[Melissa]] in the process. Melissa can see Cube, but Tart says she doesn't want Melissa to contract.
* Tart and [[La Hire]] are gravely wounded by an attack from [[Flèche]], causing Melissa to make a wish to save their lives.
* It is revealed that {{spoiler|Cube made a contract with [[Isabeau]] to have everything that you (Cube) possesses, like his immortality and ability to grant wishes.}}

==== In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]] ====
<blockquote>''"Mokyu!"'' - Small Kyubey</blockquote>[[File:Mokyu.png|thumb|250px|Small Kyubey]]

Kyubey initially appears as a small Kyubey that [[Iroha]] is tracking in [[Kamihama City]]. It isn't until after she is able to capture it that she suddenly recalls all memories of her missing sister [[Ui]]. Thereafter, the name of the creature is whatever the player inputs as their player name and serves as a proxy for the player. It often stands in when Iroha is thinking or talking to herself and will present her with two or three different dialogue options presented as some variation of "Mokyu" with the actual dialogue in parenthesis underneath. The dialogue choice often has no bearing on the story outside of branching events. The small Kyubey itself doesn't speak outside of saying "Mokyu", unlike the regular version of Kyubey.

Iroha also attempted to make [[Touka]] and [[Nemu]] remember her sister Ui by having them hug the small Kyubey, but they knocked it away before it could make contact.

In Chapter 10 it was revealed {{spoiler|that Ui, Touka, and Nemu all contracted in order to save Iroha from the fate of turning into a witch. They each took Kyubey's ability to absorb, convert and create energy. As soon as the contract was made, Kyubey's hoops fell off and he regressed into the small Kyubey of the present day.}}

Kyubey himself initially only appeared in events or side stories, often in the past, and is presented as being unable to enter Kamihama City due to the doppel barrier. Beginning in Arc 2, Touka Satomi was able to make contact with Kyubey via a sophisticated machine that allowed her to view and speak with Kyubey on a screen.

A pink Kyubey also appears in the event [[Magia Record Story Kamihama Cheese Panic!|Kamihama Cheese Panic!]]. It seems to be an envoy of the Law of Cycles and accompanies [[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record|Nagisa]] to Kamihama city. It doesn't speak and has a pink color scheme with white ear tips. Nagisa is shown blowing it up in front of the other magical girls.

Due to [[Puella Historia]] covering many cultures and time periods, it's revealed that Kyubey was known by different names depending on the time and place.
* Around the 1st century BCE, in Alexandria, he is known as the White Beast God by the Met Clan.
* Around the 1st century CE, in the Roman Empire, he is known as Master Cubius.
* Around the 11th century CE, Olga and Gunhild mistake him for a Fylgja, a guardian spirit from Norse mythology in the form of a white beast.
* Around the 13th century CE, a nunnery in Tibet refers to him as Lord Jataka.

==== In [[Null Magical Girl]] ====
[[File:Null_Vol2_Illustration3.png|thumb|200px|Kyubey in Null Magical Girl]]
In Null Magical Girl, Kyubey acts as a messenger and guide for [[Kosane]] during her journey to find the truth about magical girls. He reveals to Kosane that she has no soul and also lacks a brain. Throughout the story, Kyubey lives inside Kosane's empty head and is shown to have the ability to alter her cells, giving her the ability to fly and making her unable to perceive emotion.

As the two travel on the Time and Space Railway, they are attacked by five ''[[Homo magica]]''. Kosane blacks out and, when she awakens, finds herself and Kyubey in a plane full of ''Homo magica''. Kyubey doesn't sense any Incubators, and assumes that they had all gone extinct due to attacks from the ''Homo magica''.

He uses his future sight as the planet Terminus, where Kosane was hiding, is destroyed to find the best path for her to escape alive.

==Powers==
Kyubey has a wide variety of magical abilities which he uses in his mission to counteract entropy. They are listed below
* '''Telepathic Communication''': Kyubey communicates with potential and contracted Magical Girls through telepathy, as opposed to verbally. He is able to use himself as a medium through which non-contracted girls can communicate to each other or contracted Magical Girls.
* '''Vision Sharing''': Kyubey can share visions of sights and sounds with potential and contracted Magical Girls.
* '''Elective Invisibility''': Kyubey is invisible to everyone except for Magical Girls and girls with sufficient magical potential. Normal humans do not notice his presence at all, just as he does not seem able to communicate with them.
* '''Teleportation''': Kyubey has been evidenced to cross long distances in impossibly short time spans, the method for which is yet unknown, but can be assumed to be teleportation. In episode 10, he also fades into reality above Homura, which may be the visible manifestation of him teleporting.
* '''Wish Granting''': Kyubey can grant wishes to those with magical [[potential]], no matter how wild and unrealistic they may be. However, this process is limited by the karmic potential of a contractee, and insufficient karmic power may result in negative or unintended side-effects, such as lack of power control or a wish that cannot be properly or completely executed. Kyubey himself has no control over ''how'' a wish is interpreted, and seems to be unable to refuse or revoke a wish once a proper one has been made. However, there have been shown to be some exceptions to what he can grant, unlimited by a girl's karmic potential, such as if a wish is for something that he does not understand (for example, wishing to visit a fictional location he isn't familiar with).
* '''Soul Gem Creation''': Kyubey is capable of creating a small egg-shaped gemstone called a soul gem for each Magical Girl. {{Spoiler|He does this by pulling the contractee's soul out of their body and forming it into their soul gem. As such, this results in temporary pain on the contractee while the contract is made}}. This makes the newly formed Magical Girl capable of transforming and using magic, as well as increased agility, strength and pain threshold, {{Spoiler|at the expense of the soul being separate from the body and thus controlling it externally, akin to a puppet}}.
* '''Soul Gem Stimulation''': As referenced in episode 7, {{Spoiler|Kyubey can create impulses of certain feelings on a soul gem simply by touching it. In Sayaka's case, he emulates a pike (probably mimicking Kyoko's) impaling Sayaka's stomach.}}
* '''Energy Conversion/Collection''': Kyubey is able to collect emotional energy from {{Spoiler|witch transformations,}} and Doppel emergences. As explained in Magia Record, Kyubey does not need to be in proximity to a {{spoiler|witch formation}} or the summoning of a Doppel to obtain its energy, as he collects it even while he cannot enter Kamihama City. This implies that the collection of this emotional energy is an inherent part of either process that he merely facilitates, or that this energy is naturally released into the universe when it is created. In Wraith timelines, he collects it by magical girls dropping grief cubes into a hatch-like "mouth" on his red oval on his back. How he is able to transport this energy also remains a mystery.
* '''Grief Seed Consumption''': Said to be one of Kyubey's "many duties", he can open a hole in the teardrop-like marking on his back to consume grief seeds. This permanently destroys the grief seed, preventing the witch within it from regenerating when it accumulates enough taint from a soul gem it purifies. It is unclear if he only does this to prevent witches from reappearing, and thus keeping their population manageable, or if it is part of his process of collecting emotional energy, given he already collects it when {{spoiler|soul gems become grief seeds.}}
* {{Spoiler|'''Replication''': Kyubeys, or Incubators, are an artificially-created hive-mind/collective that span the universe, looking for people to turn into Magical Girls so as to collect emotional energy and combat entropy. Multiple individuals of his kind, referred to as "terminals", exist simultaneously, and can act, think, and talk independently of each other, but they all retain the same knowledge and memories. Typically, only one Kyubey terminal is primarily active in a given territory at any time, though several are either kept in reserve nearby or are somehow instantly deployed to replace one another if they are killed by some means. So as to save energy, they will consume the remains of their fallen selves when possible.}}
* '''Isolation Field''': Kyubey's able to create an isolation field similar to a barrier, but only chooses to do so in extreme circumstances, usually to uphold, or sometimes restore the magical girl system. The isolation field can work as a method to trap others, such as when he reclaimed the Doppel System, and to isolate them from outside presences. This was also done with Homura's soul gem, which resulted in it not turning into a grief seed, breaking, or being taken by the Law of Cycles, instead creating a labyrinth within the gem. He was even able to make adjustments to let the victims which Homura invited to be absorbed in the world inside her soul gem, while not letting them leave.
* '''Cell Alteration''': Kyubey can alter the bodies, including the brains, of beings who have incubator cells within them and make it possible for them to do things they otherwise couldn't.
* '''Observation and Calculations''': Kyubey can keep track and measure many criteria through his observations, and can thus make attempts to follow the alternative that benefits him the most, or directly manipulate the situation. In Kyubey's own words: ''"If we can observe it, then we can interfere with it. And if we can interfere with it, we can control it."'' Because this is merely a calculation, it is not a true "sight into the future", as he's merely calculating statistics which he can keep track of. This can apply to many things, such as calculating time, speed, momentum, etc.

==Observations==
*Kyubey's speech patterns may have been used to give a "foreign" touch to Kyubey's speech, as this pattern emulates the typical way of speaking in other languages, such as English.
**It can also be interpreted as Kyubey treating personal names just as tags for identifying individuals, similar to a social security number.
**''Boku'' is also used by girls, but this is uncommon in real life. In manga, anime and alike, this is often employed for girls exhibiting "boyish" personality traits. Such girls are called ''boku-kko'' (僕っ子) a western equivalent is a "tomboy".
* He will often flick his ears or roll around when teasing or being interested.
* In Madoka's new universe, he seems to have lost most of his knowledge and is very interested in what Homura is actually saying.
*It would seem that Kyubey never lies but instead holds back important information, often under the pretense of no-one asking him. An example for this is episode 9: when Kyoko asks him if Sayaka can be saved, he only says that nobody ever tried to turn a witch back into a human being (which could in fact be true), rather than saying that it's indeed possible (which would be a lie, as he reveals to Homura at the end of the episode). However, Kyubey also tells Madoka that he is incapable of manipulating humans, which contradicts the reason why he allowed Kyoko to chase after Sayaka in the first place: he wanted her to be killed so that only Homura would be left to battle the powerful Walpurgis, thus forcing Madoka to become a magical girl. This is clearly an attempt to manipulate Madoka's actions, making his earlier statement to her a lie.
*Apparently Kyubey selects the right moment and the right time to appear to grant wishes to his victims, and he seems to await for the conditions to be perfect to secure a good level of energy. At first glance he gives the impression that he is coming to rescue his victims by allowing them a wish during their weakest moment. He probably can sense a great moment of despair and he awaits for the girls' state of mind to be in turmoil and ready to ask for a (selfish) wish. It is speculated that he does this to guarantee that their wishes will be selfish in nature so it would fail to meet their expectations. In doing so Kyubey secures a great amount of despair thus releasing a great level of energy.
*To our knowledge, Kyubey has thus far only accepted wishes that his species's technology can "grant:" the healing of a paralyzed hand (Sayaka), the rescuing of a girl trapped in a crushed automobile (Mami), mass mind-control (Kyoko), and time travel (Homura).
**While we don't know for sure the bounds of this technology or of his wish granting abilities, we definitely do know that Kyubey's species can't end the heat death of the universe on its own, meaning that Kyubey may not be able to grant the wish "Save the universe from entropy!" Kyubey most likely can't provide the catalyst necessary for such a wish to come true. He'd have to rely entirely on the magic of the girl in question, and so far as we know Madoka has been the only person he's met who might have the magical potential to rewrite the laws of the universe.
** No limits on wishes were stated. He hasn't failed to grant (or rejected) any wish on the first request, even though he was shown to have negotiated with Kagari in Suzune Magica due to the potential counterproductivity of her wish. (Was technology ever mentioned?)
** However, note, that wish granting may essentially be considered as an exertion of energy. Yet, magical girls generate more energy upon their deceit, therefore it is anti-entropy. To wish against entropy, all the energy in the universe would not suffice.
*Some fan speculation has arisen that the "Kyu" in Kyubey may be resemblant to a tag or identification number, just as Juubey has the number 10 affixed to "Juu" Kyubey is Number 9 in the series. although this would make sense, Kazumi Magica conffirms that the "Juu" in Juubey does not mean 10. Juubey, however is also not a "real" incubator
**In Chapter 21 of Kazumi Magica, {{spoiler|Kyubey ''"wanted"'' to communicate with Juubey, even if it was man-made, as it wanted to connect with another of his kind. It is unknown if Kyubey's reasons were because it wanted to learn more about Juubey or if it was ''"feeling lonely"''.}}

==Name spelling==
*Kyubey's Name spelling is often a topic of argument amongst fans, the many various spellings in different texts have caused confusion as to its meaning
**His name is written in both Hiragana and Katakana as キュ''(kyu)''ゥ''(u)''べ''(be)''え''(e)'', so Kyuubee or Kyuubey would be most accurate as a romanization.
**On the other hand, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re0TB956D5E&feature=related the fifth commercial] has his name romanized as "Kyubey", which resulted in controversy. However, the lack of the extra u is probably just a use of the modified Hepburn system, which never accounts for extended vowels.
**[[Translated_Official_Documents#Kyubey_cuteness|Gen Urobuchi joked]] that the "Kyu" comes from the katakana of the English word ''Cute'' so it could also be Cubey.
**[[Episode 8]] suggests that his name comes from 'Incubator', which when spelled in katakana would be romanized as 'in'''kyubee'''taa.' In the same episode, it is revealed that he has multiple replacements.
***During Kyubey's dialogues in episode 9, he keeps saying "we", meaning that he isn't the only Incubator.
**Some fans of 2ch have taken to assigning the kanji 「九兵衛」 (''Kyūbē'', lit. ''nine protector soldiers'' or ''nine warriors in defense'') to his name, speculating that like Doraemon (whose name can be written as 「銅鑼衛門」), Kyubey's naming might have been inspired by old Samurai dramas.
**'QB' is short for 'Kyubey' in Niconico Douga. This name is also common on 2ch.
[[File:Kyubey's moving tail.gif|200px|right]]

==Trivia==
*For more information about energy, entropy and thermodynamics in general, see [[Thermodynamics]].
**In ''Null Magical Girl'', Kosane is a thermodynamics major.
* Kyubey apparently enjoys hot baths and human food, as evidenced in the second episode of the anime.
* Kyubey's appearance (and name) share an affinity to [[wikipedia:Nine-tailed_fox|Kyuubi]], Mythical Japanese foxes with nine tails. In folklore, Kyuubi were known to possess men and have them do the Kyuubi's bidding, a trait identical to Kyubey's desire to collect energy from magical girls.
*In the [[Drama CD 2|Drama CD ''"Sunny Day Life"'']] Kyubey tries to convince to an exasperated Madoka that ''"he"'' doesn't see himself as male (in human terms) so ''"he"'' doesn't understand why ''"he"'' isn't allowed to be in the bathroom with a naked Madoka.
**On the Blu-ray commentary it was pointed by [[Gen Urobuchi]] that Kyubey has no gender.
*According to the Blu-Ray Episode 2 voice commentary:
**Kyubey was not based on any animal, just the concept of a "small mahou shoujo animal"
**When asked what animals were used as the basis for Kyubey's design, Ume Aoki was very cryptic because of spoilers.
***The only clue she gives is {{spoiler|"coil"''. According to the drama CD interpreter, it's possible that it relates to the theory that Kyubey's design is based on the uterus. Supporters of this theory believe Kyubey's ears look like fallopian tubes.}} It could also refer to {{spoiler|Incubator}}, which has a similar meaning to it. This interpretation was proven wrong in the commentary for episode 8, where Chiwa Saito explained that the truth that was hidden was that the marking on Kyubey's back is that of an egg, and that was the connection to {{spoiler|Incubator}}.
* The word '{{spoiler|incubator}}' derives from the Latin word '{{spoiler|incubare}}', meaning '{{spoiler|to lie upon}}'. Another term derived from it is {{spoiler|incubus, a male demon said to have sex with women while they sleep and causing their dreams to become perverted. This happening was believed to be the cause of the birth of witches}}.
*A fanart meme tends to point out Kyubey's similarity to [https://prettycure.fandom.com/wiki/Hummy Hummy], the mascot of ''Suite Precure♪'', the other (much more traditional, child-friendly, and optimistic) magical girl series that began airing in Winter 2011. Due to the closeness of their airing dates, this is likely a coincidence, but it has not gone unnoticed and adds to the series' postmodernist deconstruction of the magical girl genre.
*In an interview with [[NewType 2011-07|NewType]], Shinbo was thinking of giving lip-synching to Kyubey in the new world but Yukihiro Miyamoto said no since fundamentally Kyubey remains the same creature as before, only interested in energy efficiency, so he remains unchanged. Also in the interview it's stated Kyubey doesn't move his mouth to speak because he is communicating by telepathy.
**Prior to broadcasting, no one told the seiyuu (specially Emiri Kato) that Kyubey's mouth doesn't move, so she tried to properly lip-synch her lines. When they saw the first episode on the air, the seiyuu were shocked that they were tricked.
*Aoi Yuuki (Madoka), Chiwa Saito (Homura), and Kaori Mizuhashi (Mami) tried for the role of Kyubey. Saito was told her Kyubey sounded too stupid, and in Yuuki's part hers sounded too naive and that she was too cute for it (no surprise there). They all found the role for Kyubey to be too difficult and the Kyubey character too smart for them.
*In the Audio Commentary for [[Episode 9]], before reading the script or knowing the nature of the show, Emiri Kato (VA of Kyubey) was very happy that she was voicing a cute animal character.
*Gen Urobuchi comments in the Audio Commentary for [[Episode 12]] that Kyubey's presence is world wide. This can be interpreted as multiple Kyubeys are being used to contract and reduce entropy; and are not limited to just using one single Incubator at a time. This would explain as to why Kyubey can consume dead predecessors. It may also suggest that instead of Kyubey being able to teleport, there are simply several, each one assigned to go with a magical girl or clusters thereof, at a time.
*During the [[Sakura-Con 2012 Interview|Sakura-Con 2012 panel interview]], Urobuchi explains that Kyubey is not evil, it is his lack of human feelings that makes him scary.
**Urobuchi compares [[wikipedia:Hp_lovecraft|H.P. Lovecraft]]'s [[wikipedia:Cthulhu_Mythos_deities|creatures]] to be same as Kyubey, in that they are uninterested in humans feelings.

I undid your \n removal on [[Madoka Magica Online Story Quest 11]] and instead replaced them with <nowiki> </nowiki>, which was probably the original intention. I copied the entire text into a text editor and just used find and replace all. I'm noting it here in case there are \n on other pages too, and because I accidentally submitted before I finished writing the edit summary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:40, 13 October 2023 (UTC)

== Plurals ==

Just letting you know, you don't need to create redirects for plurals (unless it is a highly irregular plural). You can just write <nowiki>[[wraith]]s</nowiki> and the link will automatically expand to include the S. (That goes for other letters besides just S too, so you could for example do that for a -ed or -ing ending.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:14, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

==How to Tell==

This is in response to your deletion log message:

: Used. Weird how its technically in use but the files dont show it.

The way I've been identifying files to undelete is via [[Special:WantedPages]]. To detect that they're used so as to avoid deleting them in the first place, or to make them not be used anymore (which might be more appropriate for some of them), you can go to the file page and click on "What links here" in the tools section of the sidebar. It seems that direct linking to a file (rather than embedding it) doesn't count for the "File Usage" section on the file's page. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:33, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

== Future of Fanworks ==

'''Content moved to the talk page for the main page'''

==Puella Magi Madoka Magica TPS==
The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoko_Sakura wikipedia page] for Kyoko Sakura mentions a Kyoko Sakura and Sayaka Miki third person shooter (go to the page, hit ctrl F and paste "Puella Magi Madoka Magica TPS Featuring Sayaka Miki & Sakura Kyoko"). We dont seem to have a page for it on the wiki, but there also doesnt seem to be much information about it in general. I dont even know if that is the correct name or not.

==Henshin screenshots==
Yo, there's a better way to get fullres screencaps from the henshins than just screenshotting - download the henshin from [https://jp.rika.ren/cri/usm.html here] and then run it through [https://www.openshot.org OpenShot] (I tried other video editors, but they introduced new artifacting and bluriness half the time). The MagiReco henshins use the FHD 1080p 23.98 fps (1920x1080) profile; just go to export video, then set the profile, then go to the advanced section and pick "series of images". Taking a screenshot from the game means the image will be rescaled, compressed, it'll have the skip button and overall the quality will be worse; this allows you to skip that. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 11:44, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

== Appearance ==

Your rationale for deleting a detailed written description of Kuroe was:

<blockquote>It doesn't appear in other pages, so it shouldn't appear here.</blockquote>

I don't think this makes any sense. It's useful to have a written description (though that was a little ''too'' detailed – "peach skin"? Really?), so not appearing in other pages seems to me to be more of a reason to add it to the other pages rather than deleting it from Kuroe's page. (Though obviously that's a ''huge'' amount of work and I'm not suggesting you actually go and do it… still, I don't think there's any good reason to delete it from Kuroe's page when someone went to the trouble of actually writing that.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:50, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
:I just realized that the one who wrote it was you? So it's not quite as bad if that's the case, but I still think the general argument here stands. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

So, I seem to remember that Rion's wish created two realities. In one, Hotori is alive and in the other she isn't. I can't seem to find anything relating to that on this wiki, though.

:That would be covered in the moon-viewing event, which you can probably find on YouTube at the Magia Union Translations channel. The way I understood it wasn't like that, though. It's more like the "original world" and the "rewritten world", which to me implies the "original world" effectively no longer exists. This is because Rion wished to "undo" Hotori's death. But it might be easier to understand if you just watch it for yourself. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 04:00, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

== Media tab on twitter ==

So I was looking through the Twitter accounts for the artists and noticed that the media tab doesn't go back as far as I want (for Masagitsune, it ends at around 2020 but I know there were art posts made before that point). Does anyone know a solution for this? [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 17:33, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
:Broadly speaking, there is no solution that I'm aware of. Maybe if you're lucky you might be able to find some of them on the Wayback Machine, but that's pretty unlikely for Twitter. Or if you can find a direct link to a tweet that embedded the image, you might be lucky enough to find the actual image from there, though that's assuming the artist isn't the type to delete all their old tweets. In other words: more than likely, this art is just permanently lost. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:00, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

== Runes ==

I separated the "Deciphering the Runes" page into two sections, as one deals with work by fans and the other deals with the Runes themselves. I believe the distinction is necessary. I may do the same with the musical notes as well. [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 22:18, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

== Gallery Moves ==

<blockquote>Move Gallery pages to their proper names (ex. Move Gallery:Sayaka to Gallery:Sayaka Miki)</blockquote>

I have a suggestion: if you're moving them anyway, consider moving them instead to "Character Name/Gallery". Then we can ask [[User:0x99|0x99]] to enable subpages in the main namespace, meaning they'll automatically link back to the main page in the same way subpages of your user pages do. (Note: I'm not sure if it's safe to actually do that move without ''first'' enabling subpages.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:12, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
:That might be useful. Just in case, we should probably ask 0x99 to make sure it won't break anything. [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 02:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

== Demons ==

<blockquote>I used "oni" since "demon" translates to "oni". Yokai does fit better, though, so lets use that.</blockquote>Really? I mean, it's not entirely wrong, but my first choice for translating "demon" to Japanese would be "akuma"… which ''definitely'' doesn't fit for Kagome though. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
:{{nihongo|Oni|鬼}} does translate to demon as far as I'm aware. {{nihongo|Akuma|悪魔}} translates to "devil". Since her page listed her as using demons, I replaced it with oni without really thinking about it. [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 14:21, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
::That's not good – translating (or choosing not to translate) something requires thought, because context is extremely important. Often, the same word could be translated in several different ways, depending on the context. And in choosing ''not'' to translate, you need to also be aware that the word may have a slightly different meaning in the target language. In fact, this may be true of "oni" – as an English speaker, I only associate it with the horned "ogre" of Japanese folklore. It might be the case that a Japanese speaker would consider other creatures to also fall under the umbrella of "oni". (I would need an actual Japanese speaker to confirm/deny that though.)
::If you look at Wiktionary, both oni and akuma list "demon" among their possible translations. And, from my understanding, the "akuma" is closer to the Western concept of a demon. Thus, lacking context, it would be my first choice to translate "demon". However, that's only if I were translating an entire passage ''to'' Japanese – I wouldn't leave it as "akuma" when translating ''from'' Japanese.
::In this case, I'm not sure whether the word yōkai appeared in any of the game's descriptions of Kagome. If the game ''actually'' uses the term "oni", or "yōkai", or even "ayakashi", then of course that should be taken into account. But assuming that it never used any of those terms in relation to Kagome, the reference to the Hyakki Yagyō is in my opinion sufficient to dictate that "yōkai" is the optimal choice – because the Hyakki Yagyō is the Japanese equivalent to the Wild Hunt, so a wide variety of creatures would be involved. This makes "oni" a poor fit since it's just a single creature (or maybe has two or three types).
::There are a few other words that could maybe fit the context, but none of them are words that I usually see mixed in with English text, so in this context I wouldn't use them even if they fit. For example, yōsei (fairy), seirei (spirit), or bakemono (monster). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:56, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

==Artificially elongating page names==
Hey, knock it off. There's no reason for the magireco galleries to use BOTH the full title of the anime AND the episodes. Article title for [[Gallery:Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record Episode 24: How Long Do We Continue Being Magical Girls?]] has to wrap around to a 2nd line for me, and I have a 1920x1080 monitor with the wiki permamently at 90% zoom.

Not to mention all other pages where you did that [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 10:06, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
:I would like to clarify a couple things. First, I think it's good for primary pages to use full names for the most part. For example, the full episode title being part of the page title is a good thing. However, for ''gallery'' pages and other subsidiary pages (runes come to mind), I can agree it starts to become unwieldy. On top of that, I think that including the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story:" in every title is excessive – it should be kept in the toplevel Magia Record articles (the ones covering the game, manga, and anime) but omitted everywhere else. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 16:55, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

<blockquote>'''Hikari''' is spelled in hiragana which has no specific meaning. However, if spelled with kanji (光), the name means "light".</blockquote>

In this case, the hiragana have [[wiktionary:ひかり|a fairly obvious meaning]], so I think it is reasonable to comment on the kanji. Since this is a common word, and a Japanese speaker ''hearing the name spoken out loud'' is likely to make the association with light, it makes sense to comment on it.

<blockquote>'''Mana''' is spelled in katakana, which has no particular meaning. However, if spelt with kanji (愛菜), the kanji mean "love" (''愛'') and "vegetables" (''菜'').</blockquote>

In this case, the hiragana do not have [[wiktionary:まな|any strong associated meaning]], and you've picked what appears to be some random possible spelling (I'm actually not sure ma ''is'' a valid reading of 愛, but that's a separate matter) and given the meaning of the individual kanji. This just doesn't make sense – it's extremely unlikely that the author had this in mind when choosing the name. I'm almost certain that a Japanese speaker hearing this name spoken out loud is not going to think of vegetables. (As someone who doesn't speak Japanese, after looking at the Wiktionary link above, I suspect they'd most likely thing of "admiration" or "praise" before "love" when hearing まな spoken out loud. But that's pure speculation.) It's probably the case that the hiragana really do sometimes just have no meaning whatsoever. In cases like this, I don't think it's worth searching for kanji – unless Word of God makes a statement, we should just settle for no meaning in my opinion.

In summary: I recommend not bending over backwards to find potential kanji for every name. If the kana reading has an obvious kanji spelling (as in the case of ひかり) then it's worth mentioning. But if not, I think it's probably better to leave it alone. The key dividing factor is "do the sounds have meaning?" It might be hard to judge this without being a native speaker, but we can at least try (and hope a native speaker comes along to correct us). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:43, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

: Also, this is unrelated to my above complaint but does relate to etymologies in general – I think it's best if etymology sections include links to Wiktionary or some other online dictionary. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

: Another addendum: please remember that in some cases the kanji cannot be broken down into their individual components – a string of 2 or even 3 kanji may have a combined meaning that isn't built up from the meanings of the component kanji. It's just something to watch out for when adding etymologies. (I think Chizuru's father's name is an example of this.) I'm not saying this because I spotted such an error, just because I thought of it while looking at some of your recent etymologies. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:03, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

== Ao Kasane and Ranka Chizu ==

So, I primarily edit on my school-owned computer. Because of that, I can't edit the Magia Exedra page due to the mention of "gaming" (the computer blocks pages if they mention games). This is the same thing for Ao Kasane and Ranka Chizu. Could someone please add the |designer= tag and update the wording in their introductory section?

The Witch's House:

So, it seems like the [https://www.madoka-magica.com/tv/ page] for the TV anime got a major redesign, and Witch cards are no longer included. Obviously, I think we should keep the official ones, but does that mean we can finally retire the fanmade ones? [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 17:19, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
:: Nevermind, they moved the old page to [https://www.madoka-magica.com/tv/archives/special/dic/card1.html an archive], but my question about retiring the fanon cards for Witches past the 2011 anime still stands. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 17:22, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
:::Reason why we create and used fanmade cards for witches are more for organization purposes and consistency, but I see your point. Especially since the MagiReco game and anime did away with the card format for a different one, who knows if they'll bring the old one back. Would the alternative be to just use the official art alone then? I got small collection of all the official witch art (as transparent pngs) I could find on my profile. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 08:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

==History==
===Madoka Magica Portable===
Candeloro first appears in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. Like the anime, her design was done by [[Gekidan Inu Curry]]. She has two familiars that represent [[Madoka]] and [[Kyoko]], in both appearance and fighting style. The one that resembles Madoka shoots uses a red bow while the one that resembles Kyoko uses yellow-orange spear. Candeloro can be fought if Mami falls into despair, though her labyrinth design and familiars can appear in mysterious witch barriers. Candeloro attacks resembles Mami's, as she has a simple rifle-like attack and can bind using ribbons. She can also take possession of a familiar to shoot a Tiro Finale-like attack, except it shoots flames rather than ammunition.

Candeloro's barrier includes familiar elements of Mami's 'mental landscape' including a rainbow bridge, teacups and apple trees beneath an overcast sky. The teacups are black, nearly undecorated and wide-brimmed. Within Candeloro's Witch Labyrinth is also a house with her witch's kiss on the door.

There are two variations of Mami becoming a witch in her [[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|game route]], one on day 19 and day 20, with the day 20 version unlocking an additional CG. To reach the day 20 ending, the following conditions must be met: first, one must select either Madoka or Kyouko during Day 15 Nighttime, and second, one must select Kyouko during Day 17 Noon. Finally, one must select Sayaka during Day 17 Evening. If one trips all three of these flags, then Mami becoming a witch will be delayed until day 20 and the additional CG will be shown. Mami's reason for falling into despair is that she didn't manage to save a child from [[Gisela]]'s labyrinth and she didn't wish to save her parents when given her wish by Kyubey, and along with her loneliness, she declares she has no right to be a magical girl and falls into despair.

===Madoka Magica Online===
Candeloro reappears in [[Madoka Magica Online]] along with her labyrinth and familiars.

===The Different Story===
Candeloro doesn't make a proper appearance in [[The Different Story]], however she appears in human form in Mami's vision when she begins to fall into despair. She looks similar to a younger Mami. Her hair is long, straight and is tied up with scrunchies instead of flower accessories. She wears a back dress over a white long sleeved shirt, stockings and black Mary Janes. Silhouettes of Du Polginac also appear however the Madoka one is absent because Sayaka became Mami's partner (instead of Madoka) along with Kyoko in this world/timeline.

===[[Magia Record]]===
Candeloro only makes an appearance as Mami's doppel however she appears along with every one of Mami's costumes.

====Anime Japan 2017 card description====
The Doppel of Invitation. Her form is that of dress-up. This Doppel is a replica of invitation. This Doppel uses her ribbon-like hands for a variety of attacks. However, the owner of these feelings does not believe that this small Doppel has that kind of great power hidden within her. She is a docile Doppel, but possibly because she has started to resemble a certain someone, she is strongly opinionated and doesn't do a very good job of listening to others. Those are her flaws.

====In-Game ([[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description====
The Doppel of invitations. Its form is dressing up. The master of this emotion doesn't trust it but battles on, regardless of its presence. This Doppel is very small compared to other Doppels and always sits on its master's head, so the master is hardly aware of it. It is doubtful that they communicate, so its master fights normally while it supports her. It is small and looks unreliable, but its vines are powerful enough to penetrate any enemy.

====[[Holy Mami]] version description====
The Doppel of Worship. Its form is a Nimbus. The master of this emotion has accepted salvation in a moment of despair on the darkest of nights. As a result, she was miraculously given the strength to overcome the fear and anxiety that she once had. Due to the mental state of its master, this pitiful Doppel's appearance has changed, leading it to believe it can be a savior. Tiro Saint Doppelion is a symbol that represents a new hope for all girls in despair.

====[[Mami Tomoe (Swimsuit ver.)|Swimsuit]] version description====
The Doppel of Eternal Summer. Its form is cheerful. The master of this emotion is in very high spirits after making friends who fight beside her. Since she wants to be an exemplary role model, she tries to keep her cool around them. Perhaps because of this, the Doppel can't hide it's passionate, tropical look. By keeping a dangerous balance between the Doppel's unrestrained, explosive power and it's master's calm control over aiming, they have come to possess a formidable combat ability.

==Observations==
*Candeloro's tag has the runes {{Runes|CANDELORO DU POLIGNAC}} written on it. It reads, "Candeloro du Polignac"
*Text in her barrier reads "Happy Birthday"
* Candeloro and her familiars Du Polginac added together is suspected to be a reference to [[wikipedia:Yolande de Polastron|Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron, Duchesse de Polignac]], a member of [[wikipedia:Marie Antoinette|Marie Antoinette]]'s court who was greatly famed for her beauty
**Gabrielle de Polastron was a favorite of Maria Antoinette. In 1775 she was formally presented to the Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette, who was instantly "dazzled" by her, and invited her to move permanently to Versailles. The cost of maintaining oneself at the court of Versailles was ruinous and Gabrielle replied that her husband did not have the money to finance a permanent move to the palace. Determined to keep her new favourite by her side, the Queen agreed to settle the family's many outstanding debts and to find an appointment for Gabrielle's husband
**Gabrielle de Polastron was considered by many of her friends to be elegant, sophisticated, charming and entertaining. Ultimately, the queen's favouritism towards the Polignac family was one of the many causes which fueled Marie-Antoinette's unpopularity with some of her husband's subjects
*Candeloro is an [[wikipedia:it:Candeloro|Italian male name.]] The feminine name would be Candelora
**"Dell'oro" is a common word pair in Italian, meaning "of gold" and often attached to anything one wishes to deem precious. The name could be a play on Mami's main color
*The name Candeloro derives from a medieval tradition given to children born on the day of the Pagan holiday of Candlemas, or "feast of candles." Common superstitions of the tradition is tied to death and serpents
**[[wikipedia:it:Candelora|Candelora is a religious feast]], it is celebrated in February 2, when the Catholic church celebrates the ''"Presentazione del Signore"'' (Presentation of Our Lord). Formerly called the "Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary", it is now popularly called the feast of Candelora.[http://www.theflorentine.net/articles/article-view.asp?issuetocId=4043]
**The Christmas decoration can still be seen within Candeloro's barrier. Legend says that, if you still have your Christmas decoration hanging in your house by the time of Candlemas/Candelora, you will bring death to everyone you love.

==Trivia==
* Early screenshots from the January 2012 Dengeki PlayStation magazine show the familiars bore colour-schemes more similar to the magical girls they're based on.
* The names of Candeloro's familiars: Du Polignac, were confirmed from the Madogatari event. Du Polignac forms for both Homuras, Sayaka and Hitomi were also shown at the same event
** Du Polignac have forms called 'Akairo-san' and 'Momoiro-san' for the Kyoko and Madoka familiars respectively. The naming scheme comes from the familiar's colour in Japanese (Aka means red, Kyoko's colour is red) and the word 'iro' which means colour, then with the honorific of 'san' which is a polite addition meaning Mr, Mrs, Miss etc.
*** Although the other planned familiars for Candeloro don't have official names, they can be speculated to be 'Aoiro-san' (Blue, Sayaka), 'Kuroiro-san' (Black, Homura), 'Murasakiiro-san' (Purple, Glasses Homura) and 'Midoriiro-san' (Hitomi)
* Information from the Madogatari event shows that Candeloro was planned to turn into a pendant with Mami's cameo on. She would then be worn by her familiars
*The runes on Du Polignac's dress could read "Benvenuto", meaning welcome in Italian.

==History==
===Original Anime===
Gertrud's barrier appears in [[Episode 1]] along with her Anthony. Gertrud makes her first appearance in [[Episode 2]] along with Adelbert.

In Episode 1, [[Madoka]] and [[Sayaka]] are ambushed by Gertrud's barrier after saving [[Kyubey]] from [[Homura]]. They're surrounded by Anthony but are quickly saved by [[Mami]]. All three girls later hunt down Gertrud in Episode 2. They find a woman attempting to commit suicide after having Gertrud's witch kiss placed on her but Mami saves her in time. Mami defeats numerous Anthony and Adelbert before finishing off Gertrud at the deepest part of her labyrinth.

Anthony are shown to attack with black scissors and their faces change drastically when doing so, they seem to have high pitched voices. Adelbert appear in two forms, large and small - the latter often coming in groups of three. They seem to only attack by flying towards their enemy. Gertrud is seen attacking with her red chair and using scissors like Anthony.

===The Rebellion Story===
Anthony make a reappearance in [[The Rebellion Story]] as rental versions, leant out to Sayaka and Oktavia. They appear more like Oktavia with a mermaid tail instead of their butterfly wings. Adelbert also make a brief appearance. Gertrud also makes a cameo appearance during Homura's explanation of witches as well as in the ending where a bottle full of flowers has her name on in Runes.

===Manga===
Gertrud appears in the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Manga|original manga]] just the same as she does in the anime. However she, her familiars and witch kiss don a slightly different appearance and her labyrinth is much more simple. Despite this, her Grief Seed retains the same appearance.

Rental Anthony reappear in the [[Rebellion Manga]] fighting alongside the magical girls. They also appear in the new world and Gertrud makes her cameo while Homura reminisces about witches.

Gertrud and Anthony appear in the spin-off [[The Veranda of Madoka]] briefly. Mami and Kyoko enter Gertrud's labyrinth on an extremely hot day and Kyoko thinks it's better to stay in the labyrinth since it's much cooler than outside.

Gertrud further makes a cameo in [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica: Extra Story]] as Kyubey explains witches to [[Kirika]]

===Madoka Magica Portable===
Gertrud and her familiars reappear in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. Gertrud and her familiars appear in [[Madoka Magica Portable Madoka Route|Madoka's Route]] and [[Madoka Magica Portable Homura Route|Homura's Route]]. Only her familiars appear in [[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|Mami's Route]] and [[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route|Sayaka's Route]]. She appears as the final boss of the mysterious witch's barrier, the joyful barrier.

During her fight, Gertrud sits at the back of the boss room and summons Anthony to fight the magical girl. Once the magical girl gets too close for too long, Gertrud will fly to another edge of the arena. She only attacks herself when a magical girl is directly in front of her. Once defeated she falls down and butterflies cover the screen just like her anime death. Her Grief Seed can be collected to cleanse a magical girl's Soul Gem during battle.

===Magia Record===
Gertrud and Anthony make an appearance in Magia Record. Gertrud's description stays the same as her original anime description however Anthony's description differs.

====Anthony bio====
Minions of the witch of rose gardens. Their role is to do landscaping.
The witch styles their mustaches for them.
They originally resided in a place called [[Mitakihara City|Mitakihara]], but due to their wholehearted desire to grow more beautiful roses in rich, fertile soil for their master, they unleashed their pioneering spirit and marched right on over to [[Kamihama City|Kamihama]]. They happily carry on gardening even in barriers besides their master’s, so some witches see them as a huge nuisance.
Incidentally, due to the sheer density of witch barriers fighting each other for space in Kamihama, it’s hardly unusual to see a given witch’s minions wandering around other witches’ barriers.

===Magia Record Anime===
Gertrud makes a brief appearance in [[Magia Record Episode 11: Memory Museum at 3:00 PM|Magia Record Episode 11]]. The labyrinth created from Gertrud's appearance steals [[Sana Futaba]]'s coaster and her, [[Iroha Tamaki]], [[Tsuruno Yui]] and [[Felicia Mitsuki]] travel into the labyrinth to find it. The Anthony take their findings to the top of the labyrinth, noticeably taking Sana's coaster. They destroy any finding that isn't a rose so the girls quickly reach the top to save the coaster. Quickly after, a stone rose at the top of the labyrinth breaks to reveal Gertrud herself. The girls aren't shown fighting the witch but are shown holding her [[Grief Seed]] afterwards.

==Note==
In [[Episode 1]], Anthonys are seen surrounding Sayaka and Madoka and yelling the following German phrases in a distorted manner:

|Those flowers are unknown to me. Yes. They are also unknown to me. Shall we cut them off? Yes. Let us cut them off. We present the roses to our queen. And the bad flowers go to the guillotine. Yes. Cut them off! Yes. Cut them out!

<blockquote> ''"This place has nothing to do with us! We're Kazamino magical girls!"'' - Miyako Saki, chapter 11 of ''Sadness Prayer.''</blockquote>

{{nihongo|'''Miyako Saki'''|佐木京|Saki Miyako}} is a supporting character appearing in ''[[Puella Magi Oriko Magica: Sadness Prayer]]''. She is part of a group of magical girls hailing from [[Kazamino City]], comprised of [[Lina Hitomi]], [[Mio]], and [[Mai Akane]].

==General Info==
{{Magical Girl Details
|eyes=Orange
|hair=Brown
|origin=[[Kazamino City]]
|soulgem=Unknown, most likely the apple located on the back of her hood
|weapon=Small dolls, that she controls with her magic (at least 4 of them)

}}
{{reflist}}

==Personality==
Miyako appears to be a very kind girl, albeit shy and somewhat cowardly given her hesitance to fight, especially against other magical girls compared to her teammates.
While she will stand up for herself for something she strongly believes in, she also seems to be a bit naive and easily swayed based on how she was manipulated by [[Oriko Mikuni]] into believing she was someone who was honest about her faults and truly understood her, turning on and accusing Lina of using the group and blaming her for [[Mio]] and [[Minor_Characters_(Oriko_Magica)#Futaba|Futaba]]'s deaths. When she dies, her final thoughts were that she only wanted to be a heroine.

==Story==
===Backstory===
Miyako's backstory prior to joining Lina was unknown until it was revealed by Kuroe Mura on her Twitter.

Miyako used to be a normal girl that liked dolls and magical girls when she was younger. When Kyubey met her, Miyako didn't know what to wish for since becoming a magical girl was her dream. After struggling to come up with a wish, she ended up having her short hair cut long and straight like a magical girl's. She jumped into the world of magical girls out of sheer admiration, but after joining Lina's team, she suddenly realized the harsh reality and had no choice but go with the flow. <ref>https://x.com/toyphel_mc/status/1816857876864155912 </ref>
{{reflist}}

===During ''Sadness Prayer''===
Miyako first appears fighting against [[Sasa Yuuki]] with her teammates, though they are forced to flee when Sasa tricks them with a fake soul gem and calls for help from random bystanders mistaking them for muggers. Later she appears again with her team when they discover Mio's body. When Lina initially takes the blame for Mio's death, Miyako is quick to say otherwise. They are later confronted by a policewoman in [[Mitakihara]] where they learn about the recent murders of [[Komaki Asako|two]] [[Akira Namekata|girls]] before meeting up at their hotel room to hunt for Sasa.
Miyako is the first to look further into the killings and speculates a Witch might have done it but Lina notes can't be as it seemed unusual for a Witch to kill someone that way. After learning about the [[Kirika Kure|black magical]] from Kyubey, she tries to convince Lina and Mai that they should return to Kazamino to formulate a new battle plan, but Mai refuses to leave the city at Sasa and her Witches' mercy. Before Miyako can elaborate more on her reasoning, Kirika breaks into their room and begins to fight them with Sasa and Oriko joining in shortly after.

During the surprise attack Miyako ends up facing up against Oriko who just wishes to talk to her rather than fight. When Miyako asks why, Oriko replies that it's because she is the only one who has realized that the battle is meaningless and proceeds to tell the Kazamino girl about her wish to save the world. Eventually the two girls join Sasa, Lina, and Mai who are still fighting. Lina tries to attack Oriko but Miyako gets in the way to protect her. When Lina tells her to move so they can avenge Mio, Miyako confronts Lina about her behavior and how she's had enough of it. She even goes so far as to say that the deaths of Mio and Futaba are Lina's fault, as well as defending Oriko and her actions. Lina then turns into a Witch and kills Miyako. As she dies her final thoughts are that she didn't want any of this to happen and only wanted to be a heroine.

==Powers and Abilities==
She is not shown to have any unique abilities, though it's shown in a few panels that she has one or two dolls that assist her in battle to an unknown degree.

According to Kuroe Mura, her unique magic is the manipulation of inorganic objects, and likely uses this power to control the movement and attacks of her dolls.

==Etymology==
*The kanji of her last name mean "aid" or "help" (佐) and "tree" (木).
*The kanji of her first name (京) means "capital".

==Trivia==
* Her design seems to be based on the Little Red Riding Hood.
*Miyako seems to have different dolls with different designs: a doll with a suit and a hat (ep 8.), a doll with twin pigtails and a long Victorian dress (ep.9), a doll with gray hair with a gothic lolita dress (vol 2 art) and a long head doll with a musketeer outfit and button eyes (official art).

==Miyako's Wish==
Translation doesn't seem to indicate that her wish was to become a magical girl like the ones she admired, but that she struggled to come up with a wish because Kyubey would already make her a magical girl afterwards (no point in wishing to be a magical girl if she'll become one anyway after making a wish basically.) It seems like she used her wish to change her hair from it being originally short to being longer (which would ironically make sense given her hair got cut when she died.)

The Witch's House: /* Volume table */

I'm thinking of making this page an hub for MR's Another Story and Anthology mangas too. There's not much to say about any of those (we already have summaries for the game version of main story and another story, which the mangas seem to be sticking close to, and the anthology is untranslated so there's little we can say about it). I'd also take out the chapters links and just make a 'differences from the game' section like we have for the PMMMM manga. Thoughts?--[[User:AlsoArei|AlsoArei]] ([[User talk:AlsoArei|talk]]) 22:49, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

:Sure, go for it. I was thinking the same thing in regards to the chapter summaries. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 06:56, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

== Volume table ==

I understand that it's been historically this way on the whole wiki, but is there any benefit to listing volumes by publisher like this? Wouldn't it be nicer to have a row for every volume, with dates right next to them? The current format is confusing as all hell. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 18:07, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
:It's also not sustainable. If there ends up being 20 or 30 volumes, it's going to run off the edge of the page for sure. (For my small window it's ''already'' running off the edge of the page at 8 volumes.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:06, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
::Could do something like a tabbed table for language and have all the info grouped together [https://i.imgur.com/2dHA2IK.png like so in this mock-up example]. Only issue would be the release dates, but that could be cut out and placed under each volume cover image in smaller text. Don't know how to code that on the wiki though. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 23:50, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
:::I tried something out in the Another Story section on this page. It could still be improved more but I think this is a cleaner way of doing these. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:00, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
::::Looks pretty good, removing the language part (since it's already mentioned on the tab itself) and just keeping Country and Publisher in that order would work great. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 00:59, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

The Witch's House: /* Hello! */

== Why was the page Mami's mammies deleted? ==

Hi there, I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this.
Sometimes I go to the Mami's mammies to grab some images to use or just to link to it as a joke in the /r/MadokaMagica Discord Server for newer people that don't know it exists.
Except this time when I checked I saw that it was deleted by you, was there a specific reason for this?
I, and others, thought it was quite a funny meme in the community so it would be a bit sad to see it go from the wiki after all these years.

Greetings,

Mhykol
(you can also contact me on Discord: Mhykol Eclipsed#2024 or just in the MadokaMagica Discord server)

:Hello there. While I personally find the page to also be amusing and mostly harmless, there was previous talk about deleting the page and recently when it was brought up again there was a 9-4 consensus in favor of deleting the page. Since I'm one of the admins, I was pinged and asked to delete the page. If you're interested in some of this discussion, it can be found on the talk page of the main page at the very bottom.

== Memoria cards ==

I was noticing some cases where a memoria card contains a particular character, but that character's page does not reference the memoria card, so I was thinking of going through to track down all such cases that I can find. However, before I can do that, I have a few questions...

# Is there some logic to how memoria cards are ordered on a character's page? Is it just alphabetical by name? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:50, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
#:I try to sort them by alphabetical order. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 01:35, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
# What's the best way to deal with alternate versions of characters, and dual units?
#:Should a memoria featuring swimsuit Iroha be included on Iroha's main page?
#:Should a memoria featuring Holy Mami be included on Mami's main page?
#:Should a memoria featuring Rumour Tsuruno be featured on Tsuruno's main page?
#:Should a memoria featuring Iroha-chan be featured on Iroha's main page?
#:Should a memoria featuring Delivery Girl Felicia be featured on Felicia's main page?
#:Should a memoria featuring Ultimate Madoka be featured on Madoka's main page?
#:Should a memoria featuring doppel Kyouko be featured on Kyouko's main page?
#:I imagine this is a complex question... my instinct would suggest the answer be "no" in the case of Iroha-chan or Ultimate Madoka but "yes" in most of the other cases. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:50, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
: Originally I tended to leave the memoria unique to the alternate units on their respective page if only because some units have so many alts or are featured in so many memoria that it would really increase the page length. That said, maybe we should move their memorias to their own page or put it under a collapsible table to help cut down on the page length. If we do it like that, then I would agree that we should include their alt version memorias on their vanilla unit page with the exception of the PAPA units since those guys are basically their own universe and fairly self-contained. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 01:35, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
:: Now that all the pages use the templates, making memoria lists be collapsed by default is simply a matter of editing the classes into [[Template:Magia Record Memoria Header]], if that's desired. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:46, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
Also, based on this new [[:Category:Magia Record Memoria Cards]] and comparing the count with the other Magia Record wiki, there seems to be one card entirely missing. I have no way to determine which one it could be, though, as the category is sorted by filename and the filenames are all over the place.
: I wonder how we could track it down. If there's a way of tagging or letting me know which ones need to be renamed to their original file names I'm willing to move them all for the sake of uniformity and so we can track down that last memoria and get it up on the site. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 01:35, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
:: I can't think of any way to track it down other than very carefully checking every memoria on both sites (or here and in another source, if you have access to one). As for renaming them for uniformity, I don't really have a problem with it, but given that moving an image (sometimes? at least when I tried it) appears to break all the pages that use it even if there's a redirect, I'm not planning to volunteer for that task.
:: I ''was'' contemplating adding subcategories for the number of stars the memoria has. That would probably just be a manual process like most of my other efforts (open every page, go through one by one). I don't know if that would help track down whatever's missing, but maybe? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:46, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
::: ...and just now I noticed I misclassified one image, so that means there's actually two missing...? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:51, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
:: I did a little digging on said other wiki. The number of 1-3 star memoria listed there is exactly equal to the number listed here, so anything missing is almost certainly 4 star. I also noticed the other Magia Record wiki lists 5 Taiwan-exclusive memoria while this wiki appears to only have 2, unless I missed something... but I'm not sure how that squares with the other wiki having 744 total where we have 742 total. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:28, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
::::I'm not surprised we're missing some of the Taiwan exclusive memoria since I don't know how to access the files for that server, mostly just the JP one (and NA when that was a thing). If I get a chance to this week, I'll comb through the 4* memos and see if I can track down which one they are. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 15:52, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

One last thing: I found three card images that are duplicates. In particular, this one exists in both JPEG and WEBP format for some reason:

[[File:Pzib1e3ipjo51.jpg|thumb|left|100px]]<div style="clear:left"></div>
~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 20:50, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
:This is probably a case where more than one person uploaded the image and then since it's different formats they didn't get the warning. I can deleted the extra file, just tag any other ones you want me to delete with the deletion tag.

:On another note entirely, since we now have the "akuma" typing for magireco, would it be possible to write the template so we have like a "|type=other" then put a "|displayname=" where it just displays a name for the typing but it's still categorized as "other"? I think this might take care of the one off types like Nagisa, Nagisa alt, Ult. Madoka-senpai and one or two i've forgotten.
:Thank you very much for you hard work and lemme know what I can do to help. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 01:35, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
::Actually, I already added that awhile ago (probably around when I converted Ultimate Madoka-senpai to use the template). The key to use a different name for display is "|typedisplay=", and the three units you mentioned already do this if you need an example. And if you want to recategorize those three as "other" instead of "magia" / "support" / "ultimate" respectively then I don't really have a problem with that either. (Those three were the only ones I saw when converting all the pages BTW.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:46, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
:: I'm not sure if it fits, but I went and filed Akuma Homura as an "Ultimate" type. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:29, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

I was considering a way of making memoria lists easier to work with and tried something experimental with [[:File:Memoria 1390 c.png]] (see how it's linked from other pages). Does this seem like something worth doing for all the memoria cards? The one downside I can see is that it would make it hard to manually sort memoria lists alphabetically… but the automatic sort works for that (apart from not ignoring a leading "the" or "a", which would require either the string manipulation extension or specifying the sort key manually) so I'm not sure how important that is. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 05:54, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
:Since the auto sorter will still sort them alphabetically, then it wont' be too much of a downside even if it can't ignore some of the leading prepositions. Looking at how you also put the memoria info into the file, is it possible to do this the other way around? In other words, is there a way to reference the memoria info that would be saved with the file image and have it load up onto the character's page without having to recopy the code every time for each character it features? That way we'd only have to write it out once on the image file's page and any subsequent changes would then reflect on other pages where it is referenced? I figure that's probably not doable, but it got me thinking so I just had to ask. As to the original question, if you see value in doing it that way then I don't see why not go for it. As always, thank you immeasurably for all of your hard work. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 14:14, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
::I'm not quite sure if you're asking about something that I've already done or not…? What I did was cut-and-paste the memoria info onto the File page, so the code looks sort of like this:
::<pre>{{Magia Record Memoria Header}}<onlyinclude>{{Magia Record Memoria Row|...info...}}</onlyinclude>{{Magia Record Memoria Footer}}</pre>
::Then on pages that need to reference that memoria instead of calling <tt><nowiki>{{Magia Record Memoria Row|...info...}}</nowiki></tt>, I call <tt><nowiki>{{File:Memoria Filename.png}}</nowiki></tt>. So, the memoria info is ''only'' on the file page and is included from there into whichever pages want to list that memoria.
::Is that what you were asking for? If that's the case, it's already done for that one sample memoria. If not… I'm not sure ''what'' you're asking for. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]])
:::Yes! that was exactly what I meant. Sorry, I should have taken a better look at the code but it's finals week so I'm a little crunched for time. But yes, that would work great so we would only have to write the code each time once. Fantastic! [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 13:51, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

== Wrong delete ==

You just deleted [[:File:S1E7 Ikumi 2.png]] which wasn't on the delete request list (the request was to delete the redirect since I first uploaded it to the wrong name). Is there an easy undelete button? I can of course re-upload it if there isn't… ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:41, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
: Ah, my bad. The deletion request also flagged the image and not just the redirect. There's no way to undelete an image so if you could please re-upload it I'd appreciate it. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 22:17, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

== About the metro map ==

Is that a fan-made map or an official one？Cause in S1E2 there's a ground marking in Shinsē Center Station, the color used are different from the map.
Nevertheless, I'd like to know more about why the route goes this way lol.
Thank you for answering:)
: it's an official map, but the colorings are fan-made in order to distinguish the different metro lines. The same anon who colored the map explains some of the reasons for the layout here:
[[File:Kamihama metro explanation.JPG]]

== San's festival ==

You recently edited [[:File:Memoria 1690 c.png]] to change the name of the festival, which I had already put in some effort to keep consistent throughout the wiki. However, you only changed one of the two instances of the name on that page, and also missed some other instances (see [[Special:Search/hikarizuka|these search results]]). Note that in the case of the redirect, it should probably still exist but redirect to the new correct place and also add a new redirect with the correct name.

I'm not sure which of the two names is ultimately correct and simply guess "Hikarizuka" because from what I could tell it's the more common reading of the actual kanji, but if you have reason to believe that "Mitsuzuka" is more correct, it would be nice to mention the source somewhere on [[San Kagura]]'s page. [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:46, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
::Usually when there's some question of ambiguity as to translations I tend to go with [https://magireco.fandom.com/wiki/Mitsuzuka%27s_Soul#English_(Translated) the other site] since they have more dedicated translators on hand who are better at translations than I. If you feel that "Hikarizuka" would be a better translation i.e. a more common reading of the kanji then I'll defer to you and can change it back. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 05:19, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
:::Just being a "more common" reading isn't necessarily reason to use it. I wanted it to be consistent and couldn't find any documented evidence that 光 could be read as "mutsu" (though "mitsu" is listed among its possible readings on both sites I checked), so I went with the default reading.
:::But there might be some reason I'm not aware of that they chose "Mutsuzuka" instead. My knowledge of Japanese is quite minimal, as well, so it's entirely likely that the other site is better at translating than me. Still, above all else I just think we need to pick one and stick to it. If it's going to be "Mutsuzuka", it should be "Mutsuzuka" everywhere.
:::That said, whichever we choose, I think it's also worthwhile to create redirects using the alternate choice as well. [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:02, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
:::Apparently I was confused when I made that last comment, for "mutsu" never seems to have been suggested (unless there were a few elsewhere that I edited out?) and what you actually changed it to was "mitsu". This is a nanori reading, so it's definitely valid as a reading. Still, I would prefer to see something cited to back it up, such as a voice line, and more importantly, if it's to be changed in one place it should be changed everywhere. Do you know if San mentions the festival in any of her voice lines? I recall checking her side story lines and the lines at the end of Dependence Blue without any luck, but I'm sure there's still many places I've missed… ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 06:19, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
:::Aaand then I just started watching arc 2 chapter 5, and Miyuri clearly says "Hikarizuka", not "Mitsuzuka", so I guess that decides it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:39, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
:::You seem to be changing them to Mitsuzuka again, but as noted above, I think that's incorrect? Unless the above somehow doesn't prove it. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:42, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
::::I completely forgot about that. I probably need to go back and change them all to Hikarizuka. That was my bad. I was on automatic with updating the memoria. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 15:45, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

== Delete/move? ==

I was clearing up duplicates of the Mobage cards by moving them to use a consistent naming format, and I discovered two where the target name already existed but at a lower resolution, although the source has a higher resolution than the vast majority of these card images for some reason I can't fathom. What I was wondering is whether you could move the higher-resolution one to overwrite the lower-resolution one with the MobageNNNN.jpg name? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:38, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Here's a weird case. The first image is ''almost'' a combination of the second two. However, the framing is different in one of the separated cards. I'm not sure what to do with this one. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 03:27, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Also, I seem to be [[Talk:Magia Record Skills and Status Effects|missing some skill icons]], so I wondered if you have the rest.

I saw that you have your own original character(unofficial but still super cool!), is anyone on this site able to make an OC like that...? Also, did you draw the character, because it's super cute! [[User:ReiAyanami|ReiAyanami]] ([[User talk:ReiAyanami|talk]]) 14:13, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
:You can do whatever you want with your personal page (that's why I hardcoded a lot of mine so it wouldn't accidentally get mixed into the real characters). Some editors have their own OC witches on their page even. I designed the character but I commissioned Masugitsune to draw it for me. If you're interested, I have my own drawings on my twitter (sondenise1).[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 19:42, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

== Transliteration ==

Could I ask why you dont like transliteration? As far as I know it isnt doing anything wrong. [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 17:54, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
:An addition (or rather, rewording) to this: Why do you allow transliteration on some pages but not others? [[Leila Ibuki]]'s page has transliteration, but you dont want it on [[Livia]]'s? [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 18:02, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

It's not that there's anything wrong, it's just not always an accurate translation given the limitations of the two languages, especially when it comes to names/words that aren't native to Japanese language. For example, stating Ashley's name as "Ashurii Teiraa" isn't correct because her name is English in origin. it's not actually pronounced "ah shoe ree ee tay rah", it's pronounced "ash lee tay ler" which is very different, and the katakana they chose (アシュリー・テイラー) is the closest approximation to it, but not an exact transliteration either. Same for Livia being transliterated to Ribia. That's not how her name is actually pronounced but because of the limits of the "v" sound in Japanese they used the closest approximation which is a "b". Or Melissa de Vignolles having the katakana "ド" (do) when it is clearly spelled "de" because phonetically that is the closest to sounding the way it would be pronounced, not because that's how it's spelled.

Just like how in English 杏子 can be written as: Kyōko, Kyoko, or Kyouko. All three are correct, but the first and second are the most accurate in terms of the way it would be pronounced as it is written in English, while the third is a transliteration that, when read as it is written in English, is pronounced slightly differently. I'm not against transliterations for Japanese native names, but for the foreign ones it doesn't make sense to me.

As for Leila, we had her originally as "Reira" until the NA server came out and then we changed it to "Leila" for the sake of consistency. But because she's Japanese we kept the transliteration because that is how it would have been pronounced otherwise. Technically both are correct here as well for that reason.

== Hello! ==
You must be an admin, right? I'm new to this wiki and I am finally able to add stuff to my page. However I don't seem to find any rules about posting fan-made content here. Mind if you tell me more about rules regarding to fan-made content if possible?
[[User:RaviaVee|RaviaVee]] ([[User talk:RaviaVee|talk]]) 21:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
:It's an unwritten rule, but basically you can have fan-made content on your page, as long as it's made by you and is restricted to your user page only. This is to keep it from being confused with official works. We don't allow fanart dumps because a lot of artists didn't like us reuploading their works to here and it also bloated up the site. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 00:55, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

==Magia Record Characters==
Do you know how to add the borders to the characters' images on the Magia Record character page? It looks like Iroha, Yachiyo, Tsuruno, Felicia, and Sana still don't have borders.
:Yes I do, I made em' after all (except for the pink ones, but I managed to recreate them recently). I'm aware those 5 don't have the borders and that's because I kinda like the pictures used, but I think they would look a little off compared to the others which are transparent. So I was kinda stuck on whether to make those 5 be transparent or not. I could add the same cloudy background to every other character's picture as well so they all match up, but I'm just not sure. - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 17:55, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
::Eh, they're the main five characters so I can agree with keeping them different from the rest. But for the sake of uniformity, I say you can make them with the gold border and take out the cloudy background (I got those from the magireco website. They were for twitter and facebook avatars). Otherwise, I say keep using gold borders for original characters and pink borders for characters from spin-offs. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 18:34, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
:::Fair enough. Guess I'll remove the clouds then (and try to keep them clean). Should the Rumor and Wings of Magius also have the border? - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 21:46, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed you were the one who have added the color images used for the main cast of Kazumi in the [[Kazumi Magica Characters|character page]].

:Indeed I do. I was trying to get a hold of physical copies of the Kazumi bonuses to scan and make available in higher quality, but for some reason my scanner kinda screwed up the quality and added scan lines to the image. Tried to fix them but it didn't work out, and I planned on getting back to it at a later time but kinda forgot ^^; If you want, I can find some time to scan it again and try to get better quality, or upload the file as is (also got a couple other bonuses than that one as well.) -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 18:47, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
If you could scan it again, that'd be great, but don't worry about it! But I'm curious, what other extras do you have, and do you remember what volume they came from? There's a few in the Kazumi page that I couldn't match with a volume or publisher, so I just put them at the end of the gallery without a description. I did find a collection of all extras for volumes 4 and 5 though, so presumably all the unindentified bonuses are from 1-3. --[[User:Athree|Athree]] ([[User talk:Athree|talk]]) 20:11, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

The Witch's House: Reverted edits by Mayasolitary (talk) to last revision by Amaterasu

== Summary ==
[[File:Megami_06.2011_poster.jpg|thumb]]
[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]] won the TV Feature award at the 16th annual Anime Kobe award. The official ceremony to award the prize was hosted at Kobe on October 16, 2011.

This award is open to any anime's original broadcast from September of the previous year to August of that year in Japan. A judging committee makes the decision and it is considered among the most prestigious industry accolades in Japanese animation and media. [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-09-02/macross-f-madoka-magica-hetalia-win-anime-kobe-awards] 

The reason for Puella Magi Madoka Magic receiving the TV Feature award as provided on the [http://www.anime-kobe.jp/anime-kobe/#tv Anime Kobe] official site.

<tr><td>「・・・だったら、やがて魔女になる君たちのことは、魔法少女と呼ぶべきだよね」。このセリフを聞いたときに本作の世界が見えたような気がします。ひとりの少女が希望を抱き、やがて来る絶望に飲み込まれ、そんな少女を救うのもまた、別の少女の願いであるという・・・夢や希望だけでは語れない〝魔法少女〟の世界に、多くのアニメファンが釘付けにされたのではないでしょうか。脚本の虚淵玄、キャラクター原案の蒼樹うめ、魔女世界を表現した劇団イヌカレーという、個性の強い三者の世界を融合させ、骨太のアニメーションに昇華させた新房昭之監督とシャフトの手腕も忘れてはいけません。物語や映像表現に新しさを盛り込みつつ、毎週早く次が見たいというテレビシリーズならではの醍醐味を味合わせてくれた本作は作品賞（テレビ部門）にふさわしいと考え、選出させていただきました。</td>
<td>"...and so, since you all will soon become majo (witches), you should be called mahou shoujo." At the moment I heard this dialogue, I felt that I could finally see the world of this work. One young girl embraced hope but soon enough she was engulfed by despair. And to save such a young girl, it could be the wish of yet another young girl.... This world of "mahou shoujo" which could not be covered with just dreams or hopes -- haven't many anime fans been riveted by it? We must also not forget the competent skills from Director [[Akiyuki Shinbo]] and [[Shaft]] that managed to harmoniously blend the contributions from three sources with strong characters: Screenplay by [[Gen Urobuchi]], Original Character Design by [[Ume Aoki]], and Manifestation of the Bewitched Worlds by [[Gekidan Inu-Curry]]; and sublimate it into a solidly substantial animation. While incorporating freshness into the story as well as video expression, this anime provided the perfect taste of the real charm of an anime that could only be found in a TV series where every week you really cannot wait to watch what happens next. Thus we believe this anime is best suited for the TV Feature Award.</td></tr></table>

==Summary==
A former queen of France who sold the throne of France to England in the midst of the Hundred Years War, and was called the "traitor queen". She does not transform into a magical girl, but uses unusual magic reminiscent of a Witch, and stands as the last enemy of Tart (Jeanne d'Arc) and others.

===Witch Description===
La Reine’s Twilight. Her nature is dominion. An avaricious witch who desires endless power and influence. This witch’s main body is actually separate from her larva-shaped legs, and the real body protected by a hard outer shell only rarely reveals its true form. Her Labyrinth is immense enough to cover an entire country, and the populace trapped within it remain none the wiser. The witch feeds on the grief, terror and other negative emotions of the populace swallowed by her Labyrinth’s darkness, and expands her power and territory to become an ever-mightier witch within an ever-larger Labyrinth.

===Side Story===
{{Spoilerbox|
'''''October, 1428''''' 
Melissa de Vignolles and her father La Hire, alongside many other soldiers, move to fight for the freedom of Orleans and to meet Jean de Dunois. All of this is seen by Pernelle and Kyubey within the nearest woods. Pernelle is concerned about the fate of Orleans and it's sudden fallen into the English forces. Pernelle claims that the one responsible for the English army is the traitorous queen, Isabeau de Bavière, saying it is all Kyubey's fault for giving power to Isabeau.

At noon, La Hire tells Melissa that the English have taken full control of Orleans, that all this happened because of the Treaty of Troyes: an agreement made by Isabeau to marry her daughter Catherine de Valois to the King of England, since her plan was for her grandchild to be the king of both France and England. But since this couldn't happen, things got worse between the English and the French. In another place, Pernelle asks Kyubey if the girl he has chosen will stop Isabeau. Kyubey says he isn't interested in stopping the war, he only wants to stop Isabeau from interfering in his work. Kyubey says that Isabeau was always an intelligent woman, even as a teen, but she always had ambition, so that's what made her have a great potential as a magical girl, but could never have guessed what wish she would make...

'''''1385: Northern France – Amiens''''' 
Isabeau, formerly known as Elisabeth, arrives from Bavaria to France in 1385 to marry Charles VI, the future monarch of the French kingdom. Isabeau proved to be a charming and intelligent young woman, as she managed to master much of the French language in a short time and win the affection of much of the court of her future husband. A few days after she arrived in France, she was called to a meeting with Charles and some of his maids, where it was mentioned that their wedding would be soon. But one of the maids, attempting to humiliate Elisabeth, points out that another member of the royal court was named Elisabeth too, and they could not call her "Isabelle" because one of Charles's sisters already had that name too. She proposes calling the future queen "Isabeau" as a joke, something that bothers another of the servants, but Elisabeth proceeds to smile, saying that she loves it. Ffrom that moment on, they call her "Isabeau", enchanting Charles and the rest of her court with her "angelic smile", even making the maid feel ashamed for trying to toy with such a "good girl".

Back in the present, Pernelle says that Isabeau also could read and write in Latin, so she quickly became loved in Charles VI's court, being both intelligent and beautiful. Kyubey says that one of Isabeau's talents was the ability to adapt her personality to the tastes of others in order to control them. Kyubey remembers what Isabeau once told him, since she was a foreigner in France, she needed to make allies fast, so she charmed all the court with a fake personality, since only a fool would fight with someone to make enemies. Pernelle guesses that was her way of masking her greedy and power-hungry nature...

'''''1385: France – Paris''''' 
One day, Isabeau returns to her chambers and at that moment, she meets Kyubey, who appears in front of her and tells her that she has great potential as a magical girl and wants to make a contract with her in exchange for a wish. Isabeau, instead of making her wish, proceeds to ask Kyubey questions about magical girls, witches, and information about him, to which Kyubey answers each and every one of her questions: about what would happen to her body, that magical girls would become witches, and about his role in gathering energy generated by girls and witches and how he is basically immortal due to having many bodies.

Back in the present, Pernelle questions Kyubey how he didn't see that the 14-year-old Isabeau seemed to be curious about witches and magical girls, and why he didn't see her as a threat, but Kyubey says he took the risk as the incubators thought that her energy was worth for making a contract, even with all the risks.

In the flashback, Isabeau happily starts laughing while making a big face and proceeds to kill Kyubey with a candelabra. At that moment, another Kyubey appeared, asking why she did that if he had already explained himself to her. Isabeau continues smiling as she tells Kyubey that she just wanted to verify that what he told her was true and tells Kyubey how happy she is to have met him, explaining that she did not come to France just to be an ornament and the wife of a king, as she wants to have control over France, England, Spain, Portugal, the Holy Roman Empire and the rest of the European continent. Kyubey tells her that if that is her case, she can grant her that wish, but Isabeau explains that she actually wants to achieve that for herself and has discovered how to achieve it. With a smile, she proceeds to hold Kyubey with her hands, saying that he is magnificent as if he was "a true incubus". So she asks him for her wish: "I want everything you possess."

Isabeau becomes a magical girl, being surprised by her outfit. Kyubey explains to her that it is her magical girl outfit and that, due to her desire, she has become part of him: an Incubator. She obtains the unique ability to create magical girls like Kyubey by sensing their karmic potential like he does. In addition, she also has a large part of the Incubators' other abilities, having great access to all the knowledge that Kyubey possesses, and that her body is eternal and will have the same appearance when older. Isabeau doesn't really understand much of Kyubey's knowledge because it is almost impossible for humans to understand it as Kyubey explains, but Isabeau doesn't seem to care and adds that now that her body is immortal she can start creating her own army of magical girls, who will strengthen her with their wishes and help her eventually dominate Europe. Kyubey asks her how she feels about everything she knows, to which Isabeau adds that she feels like "the Devil himself incarnate."

Pernelle thinks that Isabeaus's powers are too powerful, and she finds it strange that Kyubey didn't feel that she was dangerous to him. But Kyubey says that no human will ever be capable of replacing the Incubators, since humans can't comprehend all the knowledge they have, and Isabeau wasn't a threat to them at that moment, since Isabeau wanted to take every step of her conquest slowly, as she thought she had all the time of the world because her body was immortal.

'''''1385: France – Paris''''' 
Isabeau begins spending time exploring the French palace with the servant who tried to humiliate her. They wanted to help her after being fascinated by "her angelic aura" and thought how difficult it could be for her as a foreigner now living as a monarch in a foreign country. The servant tells Isabeau about several of her husband's most powerful relatives in his court, such as his uncle Philip I, who arranged the marriage between Isabeau and Charles, adding that she thinks Charles VI is now ready to lead the country.

Isabeau proceeds to ask the servant what would happen if her husband could no longer rule France, to which the servant says it'd very difficult to say, but the power will probably pass to Charles's brother, Louis I. Isabeau proceeds to ask the servant more questions about other members who could inherit control of France, and she tells her that they would be Philip I himself or his son John I. Isabeau thanks her for the information, and the delighted servant tells her that it is an honor to serve the future Queen and that "her only wish is to serve her for the rest of eternity." Isabeau smiles at her having realized that she has great karmic potential, just as Kyubey told her, and asks the maid if that is what she really wants, she can grant her wish. Isabeau proceeds to transform in her magical girl form and tells her maid to close her eyes, empty her mind, and in this way, she will grant her wish, so that she will swear eternal loyalty to her.

'''''1392: France – Paris''''' 

Isabeau begins her plan using her maids and servants as spies, who overheard conversations between the palace soldiers as they moved unnoticed from one place to another. A servant of Isabeau spies on a conversation, in which the soldiers talk about Charles VI's poor mental state and how he attacked his brother Louis I on an expedition after having a terrifying vision. The maid informs Isabeau of this, and she realizes that her plan to drive her husband crazy has begun to flourish. Isabeau used the power of one of her servants to start trying to drive her husband crazy, causing him to have these visions while attacking Louis I. Kyubey appears in her room, saying that it has been years since they last saw each other. Kyubey tells her that she has turned several of her maids into magical girls to increase her number of powers or use them for her own benefit in her conspiracies, stating that she forces them to make those wishes. Kyubey does not understand how Isabeau is unable to realize that she now grants miracles, but instead of asking to change things, she only sees her maid servants as magic that just gives her more power in order to be better at manipulation and to make herself more powerful. Isabeau deduces that this must bother Kyubey, but he explains that he really has no emotions and is only intrigued by her incoherent actions and sees them as disadvantageous to his species because he cannot collect the magical energy that Isabeau has been collecting for herself during those years. Isabeau seems to ignore this and Kyubey asks her what she plans to do now. Isabeau tells him that she will make her husband leave the stage with a new power that she has obtained from one of her maids.

'''''1393: France – Near Paris - Saint-Marche''''' 
Isabeau organizes a ball in honor of one of her bridesmaids, in which she uses her magic to summon fire that burns alive a large part of Charles's court and Charles himself, who was almost burned alive during the event, which became known as Bal des Ardents (The Dance of the Burned), where Isabeau acted the part of a worried wife asking soldiers to "save" the lives of her husband and the other attendees. Due to her husband's obvious paranoia, Isabeau proceeded to try to claim control of the crown, although Charles's uncle Philip II, his cousin John I, and his younger brother Louis I also tried to obtain control of the crown.

'''''1403: France – Paris ''''' 
Isabeau became the head of the French crown and acted as a "mediator" between Phillip and John's conflicts with Louis.

'''''1404: France – Paris ''''' 
Isabeau summoned her brother-in-law, Louis I. He wasn't interested in talking to her as she and John I had the power of France, but Isabeau asked him if he was really interested in having power, to which Louis I told her that he did and that he would not mind being called vain for that, saying that he would be better at ruling than his uncle or his cousin. Isabeau approaches him smiling and saying that she "highly values honesty" and kisses him, beginning a secret love affair with him. Some time later, several of the people at court quickly discovered that Isabeau had an affair with her brother-in-law Louis, even though Isabeau's main ally at that time was John I, who had been left alone in his conflict after the death of his father, Philip II.

'''''November 1407: France – Paris ''''' 
People still can't believe Isabeau had been in a secret affair with Louis I for 4 years, since he was the enemy of her main ally, John I, but then Louis was murdered while returning from an encounter with Isabeau at his home, being killed by Isabeau's influence on John. Kyubey approaches Isabeau again to point out that he is aware of her actions and warns her that the French people are beginning to lean in favor of John I after the rumor spread that Isabeau and Louis were lovers, but Isabeau laughs, saying that she doesn't care, and she has been thinking of a way to get rid of John.

'''''1410''''' 
La Hire hears from fellow soldiers that an alliance between the Argmanacs and the Burgudians has been formed to carry on the legacy of Louis I, and the leaders of this faction are John I and Queen Isabeau, but La Hire sees it as a traitorous action that Isabeau is jumping back and forth between allies that are enemies. Then La Hire learns about the division of France and the plans of the Argmanacs to take France...

In her palace, Isabeau is questioned by Kyubey once again if everything is going according to her plan. Isabeau says that she wants to divide France in two and eventually take control of the crown in a more easy way. Isabeau admits that not everything has really gone in the way she wants, but she is making more and more progress in taking down John I. Kyubey tells her that her actions have led to the fragmentation of the country and a civil war about to break out, to which Isabeau responds that she already has one more plan. Due to the events of internal conflicts, England will probably plan to intervene to take over French territory as they did in the past. Isabeau says that some of her daughters are "very pretty" and they can probably marry into the English crown. Isabeau plans to wed her daughter Catherine de Valois to the future king of England, Henry V. Isabeau also states that her youngest daughters "have" the same potential as her, and she is interested in making them like her.

Kyubey points out that he is not surprised that Isabeau is planning to turn her youngest daughters into magical girls, saying that unlike all the other sons and daughters Isabeau had, she spends all her time with them, even taking them on field trips, and deduces that she must really love the three of them. Isabeau tells Kyubey that he is right, and reveals that the real reason she wants to make her three youngest daughters into magical girls is because she wants to keep them by her side forever. Kyubey changes the subject and asks Isabeau if it wouldn't be better to use her own magic to take over France for herself and points out that she doesn't seem to take full advantage of her magical girl powers. Isabeau explains that she actually feels great pleasure in doing all this from the shadows slowly, saying that, in this way, she "savors" the process of gaining control and power. And thanks to her desire, she has obtained a body that has stopped aging for a long time, and by using little of her magic, she will have an eternal life, and rushing to achieve her goals would not be as satisfying as that moment. Kyubey wonders why Isabeau considers this to be true, knowing the inevitable truth of every magical girl...

Back in the present, Pernelle says that things really did go in favor of Isabeau: the Argmanacs installed Dalphin Charles, Isabeau's son, as the heir of the throne, and in 1419, he was responsible for the death of John I, being manipulated by Isabeau to get rid of him. Kyubey says that then, to get rid of Charles as soon as possible, she started the rumor that Dalphin Charles was an illegitimate son, and caused problems with his throne succession, signing the Treaty of Troyes in 1420 in order to marry her daughter Catherine to King Henry V of England. Isabeau's plan was to have control over her future grandchild to take control of both France and England, but things didn't happen as she wanted them to...

'''''August 31, 1422''''' 
King Henry V of England dies.

'''''October 21, 1422''''' 
King Charles VI of France dies.

This is what set Isabeau into a state of despair, as her ambitions would not become true. Kyubey says what happened at that moment was inevitable: Isabeau was slowly turning into a witch. Kyubey states that by this point, Corbeau was the only one of her three daughters to have become a magical girl and shortly after that is when Isabeau started to go insane, and she couldn't recognize her daughters anymore, although she still loved them. She was consumed by her frustration and, in the words of Pernelle, became a monster in the form of a human. Pernelle says that at that moment, Kyubey should have won like he always does, but something else happened...

In a flashback, Isabeau is shown turning into a witch in front of her three daughters while in a fit of rage, saying that she couldn't let things end like this because she hadn't taken control of anything yet. Watching everything from afar, Kyubey finally believed he could collect the energy produced by Isabeau and the magical girls she had created, but just as the three girls were crying for the death of their mother, the older sister Lapin screamed that she didn't want things to end this way. While Corbeau fought the witch, Lapin was holding her mother's body and said to the witch that she too would become a magical girl and made her wish: "I want my mother to return to the way she was before".

Back in the present, Pernelle says that Kyubey didn't account for Crèpuscule de la Reine to retain Isabeau's powers, so she still was part incubator and this was how she granted Lapin's wish, turning Isabeau's body into a puppet for her witch form. Kyubey says that's true, and the real enemy is the witch born out of Isabeau's despair. Pernelle says that if Isabeau and her daughters aren't stopped, humanity could disappear, so that's why Kyubey wants to stop them as this is inconvenient for him...

'''''October, 1428''''' 
Isabeau orders Minou to attack Orleans, which the three sisters are excited about. But Minou says their mother also wants to support the English in Normandy, so they divide their tasks up: Corbeau will take care of Orleans, Lapin Normandy, and Minou will scatter grief seeds from their maids in rebellious villages around France. Minou also suggests they start recruiting more magical girl servants for their army, so she plans on killing families and taking the daughters from those families to make them magical girls. The three sisters start working this way, creating carnage everywhere they went.

Back in the present, Pernelle hopes that Kyubey is working on solving the problem, and he says that, thanks to a certain girl (Riz Hawkwood), he has been searching for a girl to stop Isabeau, and believes they might be close to finding that girl. Pernelle says that the prophecy is something invented, and he shouldn't believe it, but Kyubey insists that it is people's belief that can increase the karmic potential of the girl he is looking for. Pernelle says that Isabeau is becoming stronger, and they don't know what wish was made by Minou, Isabeau's youngest daughter, and that it might be a problem. Still, Pernelle wants to save humanity. Kyubey asks her what her plans are, but she refuses to tell him, but she does think that her husband, Nicolas, once told her about the importance of miracles and belief in the human heart.

The wiki is littered with broken links to tweets or images from GAN (searching his name can probably find most of them). Is there any way to recover the content of these links (especially images) and embed them directly in the wiki?

:Might find some I archived on [https://archive.is/ archive.today] or any other archive site like waybackmachine. If you can't find a trace of them anymore, then I'd say it's ok to delete the dead links. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 08:39, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

== Main Page cleanup ==

I've taken the liberty to clean up the Main Page styling a little. It's using the same layout as before, but with more consistent spacing/etc. so it looks a lot less cluttered. It's also now and a lot less broken when viewing on a mobile phone. Adding/removing columns should now be a lot less insane. I'm unsure what to do with the News/Wishlist links, though, since they haven't been updated for quite a long time. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 10:13, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

: The News page could probably be updated by trawling the Main Page edit history, and maybe adding other bits if you can think of them. With some work it could even be arranged so that it's the ''source'' of the news on the main page (wrapping the lines that should be on the main page in <nowiki><onlyinclude></nowiki> tags). ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:33, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

:: Good idea. I'll find some time to do it. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 13:49, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

:: I did this, seems to work great. Now to populate 2015 to 2021... -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 12:42, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

::: That's slightly different from my thought, but it's probably easier to work with this way anyway. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:07, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

== Main visual ==

Would it be worthwhile to add the Scene0 main visual to the main page, too? I think a tabber would work for the desktop view, and on mobile there should be enough space to add it below Rising's. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 13:07, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
: I've made some adjustments, what do you think? -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 13:18, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
:: I'm not sure… I've been so used to seeing the name beside the key visual and now it's moved below it… I can't find any real complaints though… ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 15:07, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
::: OK, let's try again. What about this one? -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 15:16, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
:::: Oooh, I like it! Thanks [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 15:30, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

==Not sure where to put this==

So... I'm not sure why I'm not an autoconfirmed user, but I don't know where to put this question? -- [[User talk:ReiAyanami|ReiAyanami]]
:I think you may need to wait few more hours. Autoconfirm is set to 3 edits and 7 days from the date of registration. From what I see, you should get autoconfirmed today (Nov 7) at 20:18:23 (UTC) -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 14:30, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
::Alright, thank you! I didn't realize it was so exact. :) [[User:ReiAyanami|ReiAyanami]] ([[User talk:ReiAyanami|talk]]) 19:28, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
:::Sorry for this, we used to have a lot of spam back in the day (who made a few edits to get autoconfirmed then proceeded on creating an SEO spam page). -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 21:07, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

== Future of Fanworks ==

'''(This was originally on my talk page but I have moved it here as it concerns the whole wiki.)''' While not an official Wiki, this is a Wiki for official content. Outside of personal OC's on the user's pages, is there a reason to include fanworks on the wiki? Fan roleplays have long since died, and many games are likely dead due to flash player shutting down. Is there a reason to have them? [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 17:24, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
:I think it's best to keep what we have now as an archive rather than remove it since they were a part of the fanbase during the early days. We keep [[Poorfag]]'s page up for a reason since it was a meme thing and it doesn't interfere with official pages much like OCs on our user pages. As long as they're kept separate from the official stuff, I think it's ok. I believe you can still play the games even though flash player shut down, I remember there being a big project to archive and make old flash games playable when the shut down was initially announced. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 02:34, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi maru

On last email and talk in irc, you've asked for me to wait the server be updated

Does it was done? Does you still have plans to open the wiki to another languages? When can we talk about this again?

Graciouslly

{{User:Hibiki/ass2}} 03:29, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi I have previously created a page on the wiki at [[Pachinko and Pachislot]] but seems like it is not indexed by search engine as the page have not been patrolled by mods. Could you help review and mark the page? [[User:C933103|C933103]] 15:10, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure the wiki doesn't have patrolling enabled. How did you check that the page wasn't indexed? -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] 18:50, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Any news? or you're saving efforts to update mediawiki at the moment? {{User:Hibiki/ass2}} 02:33, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

==Front Page Sidebar==

Is there anyway to add a link to the Magia Record anime in the sidebar under "Anime"? Especially since it will be launching in a few days and I don't know how to change that myself. Maybe also add the Magia Record Manga link as well?[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 01:58, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
: Sorry that this took so long, I've added Magia Record to the sidebar. Will also redo the frontpage soon-ish. --- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 05:44, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

== String parser functions ==

Based on [[Special:Version]] it looks like these are supported, but they don't work on a page so they are probably disabled (which is apparently the default). Is there any chance of enabling them? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 16:18, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
:Sorry, I didn't notice this message. I know it's a year overdue, but I've now enabled string parsers in the Wiki. Please let me know if you need anything else. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 15:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

== Bulk Upload ==

Was the MsUpload extension intentionally disabled or was that an accident? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:11, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
:I couldn't get it to work for some reason. I'll take a look at it later. -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 06:40, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

== Permitted File Types ==

Any chance you could add .ogg (and maybe .mid) to the list of allowed file types? I was just thinking that it would be better to upload the musical rendering linked from [[:File:Sayaka Sheet.PNG|here]] directly to the wiki instead of hosting it on MediaFire. I think MediaWiki even has a built-in media player so it would be easy for anyone to listen to it if I converted it to .ogg.

== Tabs ==

We were discussing building a tabbed view to show variants of a single character all on one page. I constructed style rules for it in [[MediaWiki:Common.css]], and it works almost perfectly, but there are a few little glitches that seem unsolvable without JavaScript… so I was wondering if you could perhaps add the first block of JS from [[User talk:SuzuneMU#Tabs]] to [[MediaWiki:Common.js]]?

I already tested that code by pasting it into my browser's Developer Console; if you're uncertain of it, you can do the same before pushing it live. Or if you know of some other way to make the tabs function better, feel free to write your own code or edit [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] instead.

The second block of code on that page is a way to make tabs able to scroll left and right, useful if there are too many to fit on a page. I'm not sure if we'd actually need that, though. It's also tested in the same way as the other code, and works if <tt><nowiki>{{Tab Nav}}</nowiki></tt> is added to the top of the tab container. I didn't actually test the two blocks combined though. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:33, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

== A quick question ==

Hello 0x99, I have a quick question, if thats okay. I'm going through the "Unused files" page and finding ones fit for deletion. The thing is, I feel like Im annoying the mods by making so many requests. Is there any way I could get the files deleted without causing any trouble for anyone? If not, I'll just keep putting them in the Deletion category. [[User:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] ([[User talk:Amaterasu|talk]]) 18:17, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
:I think you already have the permission to delete pages (look at "More" in the top bar). You can directly delete it, but I actually like the Deletion Request category, since it serves as a double check in case somebody objects. We could probably do this automatically in the future with [[User:AnthonyBot]], though. By the way, thank you for taking the effort to clean up old images. It helps to shrink down the space and bandwidth usage by quite a lot (as these are often hotlinked as a forum signature, etc.). -- [[User:0x99|0x99]] ([[User talk:0x99|talk]]) 18:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

:::I'd also like to add, it's ok since we've been meaning to get rid of a lot of the fan art and unused stuff on here. Some stuff I wasn't sure on deleting since I couldn't tell if it was official or fan art, or in other cases whether we should keep stuff like [[Poorfag]]'s page+art around and the like around since it's technically fan-related but also part of the wiki's history and it's not really all that mixed in with official stuff. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 09:49, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Oriko Magica Sadness Prayer Chapter 18: She is Someone I Know Nothing Of

2023-10-06T00:07:32Z

The Witch's House:

The flashback continues where [[Kirika]]'s classmates ask her what's wrong as she seems a little down. Kirika tells them it's nothing, but they think it sounds rather suspicious and one of them chimes in that it must be that Kirika is in love. Kirika gets flustered and questions how they'd even jump to that conclusion, to which her classmates laugh at her. One of them notes how Kirika's changed as before, she gave off an aura that kept others from getting close to her. Kirika questions on whether she has changed or not and another classmates says that people do change and jokes that it really must be love that changed her, causing Kirika to become flustered once more. After class she remarks again how lame the conversation was on her changing. Kirika says she's becoming a good mimic by talking about what they want to talk about and imitating them. She looks at a picture of herself on her phone and exclaims how weird she is. She recalls making the contract with [[Kyubey]] and how she wished to change, wondering why she would make such a stupid wish for something so lame. A few seconds later her phone rings indicating she got a new message which Kirika becomes overjoyed to see.

Back in the present [[Oriko]] berates Kirika for going into that room as she never gave her permission to enter it. Kirika apologizes and Oriko tells her it's fine as everyone makes mistakes, but tells her to not do it again. As she tries to tell Kirika something else, she quickly notices that Kirika was stealing a few glances at the nearby desk behind her and asks her what's wrong. Kirika says it's nothing but Oriko wants to see what's in the desk she was eyeing. Kirika's thoughts reveal that she had hidden [[Hisaomi]]'s notebook in one of the drawers and doesn't want Oriko to see it. Kirika tries to drag Oriko away from investigating any further for tea as she proclaims she's very hungry, but Oriko notices how weird she's acting and pulls something out of the drawer. She doesn't find the notebook but rather a small bunny charm and questions why something like this would be in her father's desk, wondering if it's a gift from someone. Oriko laughs and asks Kirika if this was what she was so worried about her seeing and informs her that she's not allowed to open another person's desk without permission.

Somewhere else, [[Chihana]] informs Kyubey about her encounter with [[Homura]], believing her to fit the profile of the black magical girl killer given her long black hair and strange powers. Chihana mentions that Homura had the ability to vanish before others's eyes and Kyubey says he doesn't know of any magical girls with that exact ability. He thanks Chihana for the information and the two part ways with Kyubey noting the facts so far.
He then meets up with [[Kyoko]] and [[Yuma]] to relay this information and that he needs all the help he can get. Kyoko is tired of hearing this again as she has no interest in finding the killer. As Yuma plays around with Kyubey, Kyoko tells him that once the pair are finished up here they plan to go back to [[Kazamino City]] and have no time to join any hunt for the killer. She thinks [[Mami]] can handle this problem by herself, but Kyubey replies that he intends to call in some more girls, but is hesitant to do so as they're so new. Kyubey then notes that Kyoko might not know them and says those girls are Chihana, Kirika and Oriko, the latter name startling Kyoko. Kyoko never heard of any of them but says that if it's gotta be done then she'll see about helping him out a little. Once Kyubey leaves, Yuma asks her if she lied to Kyubey and Kyoko answers she didn't, as she wants to help out on the hunt in order to meet Oriko.

Meanwhile Kirika is outside around town, overjoyed over getting the bunny charm as a gift from Oriko and promises to treasure it forever. She recalls how tired Oriko was at the time and wonders what it could be that has her down, thinking it could be either hunger, sleepiness, school or loneliness. Kirika wonders if she's sad instead as even if Oriko is hungry, sleepy, being bullied or feeling lonely Kirika can't become something to ease the first two nor take out the bullies and become a substitute for her father. She states that it's sad that she can only do what she can as the world is filled with awful things, but Oriko herself isn't one of them as she's special, yet people keep hurting her and Kirika is the only one who is her only faithful ally. She remembers her wish and wishes she never got it granted as if only she met Oriko earlier then she could've used it for Oriko's sake instead. As she's lost in thought while grasping at her charm a woman suddenly bumps into her causing her to drop it.

Oriko is approached by Kyubey who asks for her help in hunting down the black magical girl. Oriko agrees to help but says that she can't do much in battle and that if he wants her to create a plan to take her on she needs to know what kind of girl she is. Kyubey apologizes as he doesn't quite understand the girl's magic himself. Oriko notes how Kyubey doesn't know this girl and thinks it's good news as the suspect can't be Kirika. Kyubey reveals to Oriko that the magical girl is one with long, black hair and is named Homura Akemi. While Oriko is at home working on making a cake for herself and Kirika for tomorrow, she smiles to herself about how Homura is now being blamed for the magical girl killings, giving her the chance to eliminate her for sure and give her a easy shot at killing [[Madoka]] afterwards. Because of this turn of events Oriko dismisses her vision from before as being a mistake. As she looks into her recipe book, she thinks about how hard she was being on Kirika and believes this cake will allow her to forgive her for it.

Back with Kirika, she recovers after being bumped into by the woman who apologizes for the mistake and Kirika tells her she's fine. However Kirika quickly notices that she's missing her gift from Oriko and runs off in a panic to search for it. She becomes even more distressed when she can't find it when someone picks it up and asks Kirika if this is what she's searching for. Kirika turns around and the person is revealed to be Mami holding her charm. Kirika introduces herself to Mami and wishes to thank her savior, all while smiling and thinking to herself how she will do anything in her power for Oriko's sake, and prepares to fight her.

==History==
===Original Anime===
Kriemhild Gretchen appears in second and fourth timelines of [[Episode 10]]. A different version of her, {{Spoiler|born from Madoka's extremely powerful wish}} also appears in [[Episode 12]].

In the second timeline, her formation involves thunderclouds coalescing initially into a giant humanoid and then she seems to form a mountain-like being.

In the fourth timeline, she is shown as a giant creature, actually the size of a mountain. Her name was not shown at all during initial broadcast, but was added in the fourth timeline in a webcast version one week later. According to [[Kyubey]], strength of this incarnation of hers is of such a magnitude that she could obliterate the planet within ten days.

Her appearance in both timelines is essentially identical (if one looks closely at her fourth timeline appearance, they will see the head at the top of the shadow between the outstretched arms), though in the second timeline only her head was really shown at all, with the body still forming.

In episode 12, {{Spoiler|Madoka's all-powerful witch form appears at the end of the universe, born from all the grief Madoka had shouldered from the magical girls she had saved, due to her supremely hopeful wish. She inhabits a comet-sized grief seed and, unlike the second and fourth timelines versions of Kriemhild, has a fully-shown face (although the left half is either blank or covered in shadow); her head is sun disc-shaped, her open mouth resembles the moon, and her right eye resembles the earth. She is slain by Ultimate Madoka before she can consume the earth.}}

===[[Magia Record]]===
====Anime Japan 2017 card description====
The Doppel of Mercy. Her form is that of salvation. This Doppel is a replica of mercy. The owner of these feelings dreams of saving everyone and everything inside the Doppel. This Doppel, which has powers similar to that of a god's, will probably level the earth and reduce it all to dust.

====In-Game ([[Madoka Kaname in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description====
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is salvation.
The master of this emotion tries to save all of existence. This Doppel appears as a huge floating Soul Gem. Once it is summoned, it creates an existence within with all things around it are consumed, and then takes control of everything within that existence. After that, it floats higher into the air and a shower of light arrows rains down. While all of this is happening, the master of this emotion sleeps inside the huge Soul Gem.

====[[Madoka_Kaname_(Haregi_ver.)|Haregi]] version description====
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is a New Year’s Tidings.
The master of this emotion is filled with aspirations for the new year from inside her Doppel, which gathers all wishes for the year the moment if manifests and bestows them upon its enemy in the form of blessings of mercy. Any and all life that has thrived on this earth over the millennia of its existence are sure to be equally condensed and crushed by the enormity of this fleeting creature's wish.

====[[Madoka-senpai]] version description====
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is expulsion. The master of this emotion is identified as a foreign substance by her Doppel, and is mercilessly ejected from it. Having been separated from the representation of her emotions, only memories linger in its former master’s mind. But as she relishes those memories, they exude a new wave of emotion– and its charmingly quirky voice will surely mow down every enemy that she can see down below.

====[[Madoka Kaname (Swimsuit ver.)|Swimsuit]] version description====
The Doppel of mercy. Its form is salvation.
The master of this emotion is en route to a summer resort, her heart aflutter at the thought of all the rare experiences that one can only enjoy during this brief window.
This has affected her Doppel’s appearance as well, but because its master struggles to visualize what the resort will actually be like, the Doppel’s body has transformed into a serving of special fruit ice cream.
Everything in the vicinity that this Doppel absorbs will be bathed fairly and evenly in cold syrup and fruit. Though they experience freezing cold as a result, it’s said that enduring the cold will lead to both salvation, and the ability to exalt the glories of any summer one could have.
Throughout this, the emotion’s master dreams of eating delicious fruit ice cream as she sleeps.
===MADOGATARI===
This exhibition revealed the official description for the Witch of Despair, as well as the design for Kriemhild Gretchen's minions.

==Observations==
* In Episode 1, shortly after the runic text reading "Prologue in Heaven", we see the upside-down form of a giant shadow above Walpurgis Night's spell circle (the symbols seen behind Walpurgis Night). Based off her appearance and her desire to create "heaven", it can only be concluded that this shadow is Kriemhild Gretchen
* Kriemhild can only be defeated if the world is rid of all misfortune within the ten days it will take for her to destroy it. This could mean that the only feasible way of defeating her is by having a girl become a magical girl with the wish to rid the world of misfortune (or, alternately, to just kill Kriemhild outright -- which would probably make the new magical girl a witch even more powerful than Kriemhild herself)
* Since she rids the world of misfortune herself in given time that means the witch might just die out once her job is done and all the Incubators would have to do is pick up her huge grief seed afterwards
* It's probable that when Kyubey says Kriemhild will "destroy the planet" he simply means that Kriemhild's barrier will grow to encompass it or that she will wipe out all life on it in favor of her dream world barrier. In the event the latter were the case, Kriemheld could be likened to the biblical Apocalypse. All sinners (misfortune) are destroyed before paradise itself (the witch's barrier) settles on Earth for those still alive
* Kriemhild's Grief Seed has a symbol that resembles [[Astronomy|a shooting star]]. Shooting stars are associated with wishes
* In [[Wikipedia:Goethe's_Faust|Goethe's]] ''[[Speculah:Madoka_Magica_and_Faust|Faust]]'', Gretchen, also known as Margarete, was the name of Faust's lover. She dies at the end of Part 1 of ''Faust'', but returns at the end of Part 2 as a Pentinent in heaven. She is allowed to lead Faust's soul into heaven's higher spheres
**Some studies suggest that Faust refers to the girl as Margarete (meaning ''pearl'') at the beginning because of her purity and innocence, and changes to the diminutive Gretchen after their intercourse, to point out her spoiled purity. In the same way, the fact that this witch is named Gretchen, rather than Margarete, could represent the corruption of Madoka's soul
* [[Wikipedia:Gudrun|Kriemhild]], also known as Gudrun, is a figure from Norse Mythology. She is an important character in the epic poem ''[[Wikipedia:Nibelungenlied|Nibelungenlied]]''. Note also that [http://www.behindthename.com/name/kriemhild Kriemhild comes from the German words] for [[Speculah:Ending_Analysis|"mask"]] and "battle".
* Some have come to believe that the mask shown at the end of the ending credits is actually Kriemhild's face, considering "Kriemhild"'s meaning of "battle mask"
**In the Madoka Magica Online game an accessory named "Faust's Mask"　(ファソトマスク) appeared for a limited time. The mask is halved, like Ultimate Kremhild's, and can be equipped to any Magical Girl's face
* Kriemhild Gretchen's appearance as a giant shadow may be based off the phenomenon known as a [[Wikipedia:Brocken_spectre|Brocken spectre]]. In both German folklore and Goethe's ''Faust'', [[Wikipedia:Walpurgis_Night|Walpurgis Night]] occurred on the [[Wikipedia:Brocken|Brocken]], a mountain peak in Germany. The conditions on the Brocken often cause Brocken spectres, which are magnified shadows of climbers being projected onto mist or clouds. Kriemhild Gretchen appears after the witch known as [[Speculah: Walpurgis Night|Walpurgis Night]] is defeated. If this is true, it's also possible that Kriemhild is not as large as she appears
*''[http://gedichte.xbib.de/Goethe_gedicht_Meine+G%F6ttin.htm Meine Göttin]'' ("My Goddess"), also a poem written by Goethe on 15 September 1780 and sent at once to Charlotte von Stein. It was first published in 1789 in Goethes Schriften. Written in hymnic form, the poem is a panegyric of the poetic imagination
*The last lines of Madogatari song might relate to Faust's prison scene, which is also referenced in the production notes for [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Image_Note_0059.jpg Walpurgisnacht's appearance in episode 11]. In it Margarete, driven mad by grief and guilt after her actions led to the death of her mother, brother and baby, sings of a child who was murdered by their mother and eaten by their father, only to be reborn as a bird.

==Trivia==
* [[NewType_2011-07#InuCurry_.28bewitched_space_design.29_and_Yukihiro_Miyamoto_.28series_director.29|According to witch animator and designer InuCurry]], Walpurgis Night's and Kriemhild Gretchen's silhouettes are supposed to make a pair
** [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Kriemhild_Gretchen.2C_Timeline_2_Version|Puella Magi Production Note]] further reveals that Kriemhild Gretchen is meant to look like the lower half of a sand timer, while Walpurgis Night looks like the upper half. Interestingly, [[NewType_2011-05#Homura.27s_shield|Homura's shield has also been described as a sand timer]]
*In [[Madoka Magica Portable]], in addition to her ribbon, Kriemhild Gretchen's grief seed is shown with black wings in the Kyoko route. It's also shown with black wings for the witch kiss available in the PSP custom themes available with the limited edition version of the game. Art from Inu Curry's special gallery game bonus reveals another depiction of the grief seed and the interior of the Kriemhild Gretchen, otherwise known as the Witch of Salvation
* Her Doppel form in [[Magia Record]] is based off [[:File:Witch_of_Salvation_Center.png|concept art]] by InuCurry for [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. In that game, it was noted to be in the center of the witch and is perhaps her true form

== New Witch Cards ==

You've been replacing several witch cards, but you've missed some of the places they're used. This is why I suggested that you upload them as the same name as the old card, as it would mean you don't have to update all places they're used, but if you're not going to take that suggestion, then you need to manually update all the places that use those cards. Most of them are used on one of the [[Characters]] pages, but there might be additional places – view the old card for a full list. Also, please don't forget to edit the new card page to add the appropriate category, and I recommend also editing the old card page to change its category to "Deletion requests". ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 13:16, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

:: Oh sorry, I'll upload the cards in the same name I didn't update yet.

:::Wanna add in regards to the witch art overlapping the text, Oktavia's official cards actually do that. As long as the text is still readable, I think the overlap is alright.

Even Gretchen is like this, believing she is having mercy and "saving" the world by pulling everything into her barrier. Interesting parallels here! But at the same time I'm kinda freaked out by her appearance.

::::: I still don't get what that has to do with saving the universe. --[[User:SPDUDE48|SPDUDE48]] 22:00, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
::::: I dont think she was a professional tailor, but maybe she was. Also, it is possible that she was one of those cosplay girls who probably made her own cosplay costumes, I bet she used to make her own magical girl outfits and such...
::::::I heard speculation that she was the kind of girl who believed in the anime/manga versions of magical girls, and made her own costumes before meeting Kyubey. Once she contracted, she thought of Kyubey as a traditional magical girl mascot and that she was an ally of justice, just like on TV. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 01:58, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Does the Witch's minion have a name? --[[User:Captchaluff|Captchaluff]] 23:15, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
==Witch Kiss==
Can someone with an emulator or a PSP screen shot please post her witch kiss in good details? --[[User:Derp101(2)|Derp101(2)]] 19:43, 26 April 2012

We should probably make a card for the 'Kyubey' form as well. [[User:SPDUDE48|SPDUDE48]] 19:59, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

:It's the rightmost one along the top [http://images.puella-magi.net/e/ea/PSP_Inu_Curry_Art_Gallery.jpg?20120316213802 here], if it helps. I don't think it shows up on any loading screens, so this and the custom PSP theme are the only places where it's visible, I think. --[[User:Neuchadjinys|Neuchadjinys]] 22:29, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
::Geez, that's what I feared. --[[User:Derp101(2)|Derp101(2)]] 18:29, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
:::So, you found Itzli's kiss. Are you sure Quitteries is not somewhere around there too? Many thanks for that by the way. --[[User:Derp101(2)|Derp101(2)]] 06:53, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
::::I'm pretty sure that there's no such close-ups of Quitterie's kiss in-game. Sorry about that. I read somewhere that all the kisses are displayed in the [[The_Complete_Guide_to_the_Madoka_Magica_Portable_Game|Complete Guide]], though. So, if someone here has a copy of it, they could take a picture or something? --[[User:Neuchadjinys|Neuchadjinys]] 16:03, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
::Should we change the titles to add Quitterie (Disguise) and the other Quitterie (Real Form) or something like that? Otherwise it could be confusing... --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 10:47, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
:::I don't think so, I followed the format of Charlotte's page, if you are gonna change Quitterie you will have to explain why Charllote is just fine. Still, if we could do some flash animations there could be the same card changing trick they put at the site.
==Real Name of Familiars Being 33!3==
I'm bringing this up because I've noticed that it's possible the Familiar's name might actually be '''33!3'''. I originally thought this was just it's number in the game's log, but that isn't the case as that number is in the top right. Spriter's Resource also lists its model and texture with the name 33!3 rather than "Quitterie Familiar" or "Needle Witch Familiar". Though cross-referencing this with the Anja's info cards show both have words in parentheses under their type as the Witch's Familiar, and while I'm not very knowledgeable on kanji/katakana, from my searches neither of those words seem to say boat or car if it's meant to refer to Anja's variants. Or if it is, it's pretty odd that Quitterie's Familiar would have 33!3 as a variant type when there is only one encountered. Correct me if I'm wrong. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 13:32, 21 July 2020 (UTC)

Is original art of the familiar allowed to be used for the familiar card? And isn't 33!3the familiar's name? Should it be changed to that in the page? [[User:UraniaPandemos|UraniaPandemos]] ([[User talk:UraniaPandemos|talk]]) 12:41, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
::It's not certain if 33!3 is actually the familiar's name as there's been no confirmation, even with what I mentioned based on observation. Unless there's definitive proof, I'd hold off on making a card with that name until we get some clarification (which is unlikely given how old the game is and the discontinuation of its fan English translation.) As for the art, I don't think there is any of the familiar aside from its in-game screenshot, which I felt clashes with Quitterie's so I chose not to make a card for that reason. -[[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 23:32, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

{{nihongo|'''''Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story'''''|マギアレコード魔法少女まどか☆マギカ外伝}} is a [[manga]] adaption of the mobile game [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record|Magia Record]] illustrated by Fujino Fuji. It began serialization in the October 2018 issue of ''Manga Time Kirara Forward'' on August 24th, 2018. It currently has 7 volumes published.

{{nihongo|'''''Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story — Another Story'''''|マギアレコード魔法少女まどか☆マギカ外伝アナザーストーリー}} is an adaption of the “[[Magia Record Another Story|Another Story]]” route of the game and is illustrated by U35. It began serialization digitally in May of 2019 in Comic Fuz, though its first chapter was also published in print in the April 2020 issue of ''Manga Time Kirara Forward''. It currently has 2 volumes published.

==Blurb==
;Volume 1
:Recurring dreams of an unfamiliar girl draw [[Iroha Tamaki]] to [[Kamihama City]], the last place she visited before the dreams began. Her only clue is [[Lil' Kyubey|a tiny Kyubey]], which she aims to catch in the hope it will provide answers about the dreams and the heartache she feels each time they fade. Still, even as an experienced magical girl, the Witches in this city are far more powerful than anything she's encountered back home. Can Iroha survive in Kamihama long enough to uncover the secrets within? A new story unfolds in this manga adaptation of the mobile game!

;Volume 2
:When a rift forms among the magical girls of Kamihama City, Iroha puts the search for [[Ui Tamaki|her sister]] on hold to help the team reconcile. Normally, they're quick to patch things up, but the [[Uwasa_of_the_Friendship_Ending_Staircase|"Breakup Rule" rumor]] that's been going around has [[Rena Minami|Rena]] worried. It could be just another urban legend, but what if it isn't? An apology could spell the end of their friendship—if not her best friend's very life!

;Volume 3
:Unsurprisingly, the [[Uwasa of the Commoner's Horse|rumor of a shrine]] where parted friends and family can be reunited piques the interest of Iroha, who remains no closer to figuring out what happened to her sister, Ui. Though [[Yachiyo Nanami|Yachiyo]] is reluctant to partner with another magical girl, she shares Iroha's desire to see a loved one and agrees to face the Séance Shrine together. They are not the first to be lured by the rumor's promise—will they be the last?

;Volume 4
:Iroha, still searching for her little sister, gets caught up in the fight against the Rumor of Mizuna District. The ones who guard against this Rumor and the misfortune it calls forth are the Wings of Magius, sisters who call the Doppel effect proof that they can release magical girls from their fate!

;Volume 5
:The girl's hopes conjure up a warped dream.
:Iroha and Felicia have taken up Yachiyo's invitation to live with her, and things are looking livelier than ever. The magical girl's next target is the rumor of the Radio Girl, whose forlorn voice is said to be emitting from the Central District's radio tower. Making their way to the top, Iroha and the others run into a member of the Wings of Magius, but she's not the only unexpected face. Could a moment of peril signal the arrival of Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi!?

;Volume 6
:Sana has moved into the Mikazuki Villa. Meanwhile, Iroha is looking high and low for her sister when she is met by Mifuyu, Yachiyo’s ex-best friend. Although Mifuyu belongs to the hostile Wings of Magius, she begs Iroha to hear her out. Iroha obliges, and Mifuyu tells her the shocking truth about Magical Girls!

;Volume 7
TBA

==Blurb (Another Story)==
;Volume 1
:[[Mami Tomoe]] is a veteran magical girl when it comes to fighting the witches of [[Mitakihara City]], but the rise of mysterious entities known as “Rumors” have brought her and her allies to a new battlefield: [[Kamihama City]]. Providing new insight into the world of Madoka Magica, this manga adapts the “Another Story” route from the hit mobile game Magia Record!

;Volume 2
:Despite Mami’s warnings, [[Kyouko Sakura|Kyouko]] can’t help wondering what would warrant her friend’s strong admonition to stay away from Kamihama City. Surely a little visit couldn’t hurt? After a particularly unfriendly welcome, Kyouko quenches her thirst at a roadside stand— only to find herself thrust directly into one of Kamihama’s most dangerous mysteries!

==Characters==
:''See:'' ''[[Magia Record Characters]]''

==Differences from the Game==
===Volume 3===
*Mikazuki Villa is explained to be a hostel formerly owned by Yachiyo's mother.
*Banbanzai was founded by both Tsuruno's great-grandfather and grandfather.

===Volume 4===
*Kamihama City University Affiliated School is incorrectly stated as "Mizuna Municipal University's Affiliated Middle School".

===Volume 5===
*The chance of Iroha, Ui, Touka and Nemu all becoming friends is calculated by Touka to be 0.00000003% (3 × 10^-8 %) in the manga. In the game, that value is 0.00000004% (4 × 10^-8 %), while in the anime, it is 0.0000000004% (4 × 10^-10 %).
*When the Radio Wave Girl rumor is discussed, at first the captive is shown as a silhouette, but a few pages later it's depicted as AI. This is the first time she's shown in the manga.
*The attempt to extract information from Tsukuyo is quite different from both the game and anime versions. Iroha and Yachiyo find her after going to the radio tower to investigate the new voice, and pursue her. They chase Tsukuyo all the way to the top of the tower, but this turns to her advantage as her ability to manipulate sound waves also helps with radio waves. Tsukuyo blasts Iroha off the platform, but Madoka shows up to save her at the last second, accompanied by Homura. Tsukuyo realizes she's outnumbered and flees, but not before declaring that the Radio Wave Girl doesn't want to be rescued. After this, Iroha, Yachiyo, Madoka and Homura meet in a restaurant to talk about Mami and exchange numbers like in the game. However, AI doesn't start sending more messages until later, when Iroha is having dinner with the rest of the Mikazuki Villa. Therefore, the topic of the Radio Wave Girl rumor doesn't come up and the Mitakihara girls don't decide to help with it.
**Since Tsukuyo doesn't reveal Sana's name, Iroha learns it through AI's messages.
*During the memory log scenes, Sana doesn't say that she'd trust somebody who'd come looking for her because they need her, she just trails off.
*The storyline about needing a password to access the urban legend website is dropped; instead the site gets taken down and Rena finds an archived version later, just as Iroha is about to enter Endless Solitude's barrier.
*Right after Iroha meets Sana, a flashback is shown depicting Sana's family life.
*No members of the Wings of Magius appear in Endless Solitude. Therefore, AI doesn't tell Alina that the Magius' plan will not work; this line is modified and given to Iroha instead. Rather than saying that the plan doesn’t account for mankind’s evil impulses, she says that they shouldn’t sacrifice people.
*Alina shows up after Sana kills AI and destroys the Uwasa's barrier. She attacks the Mikazuki Villa members with her cubes but they're destroyed by Madoka, who just arrived to the scene with Homura.
*There's no mention of the website being a trap for the people destroying Uwasas.
*Alina summons both her doppel and the many copies of [[Teresa]] she was raising in AI's labyrinth. The main part of the volume ends just as Sana decides to join the fight against her.
*The last thirty pages are dedicated to two omakes. The first one depicts the second chapter of [[Iroha_Tamaki#Side_Story|Iroha's personal side story]], in which Felicia laughs at the past accomplishments of Tsuruno's family and hurts her feelings, but soon apologizes. The second omake adapts the second and third sections of [[Magia Record Story Mitama's Special Training - Kyoko and Felicia Episode|Kyoko's and Felicia's training event]], but with a slightly changed ending in which they go to Banbanzai instead of eating Mitama's food and don't get adjusted. The start of this chapter is told from Mitama's perspective instead of Kyoko's and Felicia's.
*There are some changes that are likely based on the anime version:
**Sana and AI are shown playing a cat-themed videogame together. The chess pieces shown in the anime are also present in the inter-chapter art.
**AI changes her appearance to resemble Sana, though this happens while they're still living together and is merely a change in hairstyle.

===General===
*Characters from the ''Side Story'' make cameos during some chapters (eg. Tsuruno, Felicia, Rika and Ren all appear during chapter 1, which corresponds to the beginning of game's chapter 1 whereas in-game chapter 1 features only Iroha, Yachiyo, Kaede, Momoko, Mitama and Ui).
*Characters like Iroha's parents or Tsuruno's father who were given faceless Live 2D models in the game are given actual faces and designs, though they remain unnamed.

=== Localization differences (Yen Press English translation vs NA server) ===
==== Characters' mannerisms ====
* Characters use honorifics such as -chan towards each other, rather than simply using each other's given names.
**They also use each others' surnames, if such is presented in the Japanese version, but nevertheless, they use the western naming order (that is, "Madoka Kaname", rather than "Kaname Madoka").
* Rena refers to herself exclusively using her own name or using third person pronoun "her", rather than using the first person pronoun "I".
* Mifuyu calls Yachiyo "Yacchan" rather than "Yachan".
* Alina doesn't use any foreign language words or phrases at all.
** She also generally refers to herself using first person as normal, but she sometimes does simply call herself "Alina" (not "I, Alina" though, unlike NA server's translation)
==== Uwasa ====
* The term Uwasa is never used. Rather, they are called simply "Rumors", written in a different font.
* Rumors as social phenomena are called urban legends.
* Uwasa Labyrinths are called Wards, instead.
==== Volume 5-specific ====
* Endless Solitude is referred to as "Furthest Reaches of Loneliness".
* (TBA)
==== Miscellaneous ====
* All nine Wards of Kamihama City are referred to as "districts".
** Chuo Ward is referred to as "Central District".
* Rather than sensing each other's magic, Magical Girls can feel each other's mana.

* While NA server used "Wings of the Magius", the manga calls them "The Wings of Magius".
* Black and White Feathers are called Black and White Wings, instead.

'''In general (re-organize later)''':
*They are creatures that spread curses, often causing unexplained accidents, murders and/or suicides, manipulating humans via a mark called a Witch Kiss. Whenever there's a kiss on someone, that Witch is almost always close by controlling them.
**Magia Record reveals that Familiars can also manipulate humans with a Witch kiss.
*They are the "mature" forms of magical girls, the result of a soul gem becoming entirely tainted in darkness and a magical girl falling into despair. It's the key emotion that leads to witchification.
**Both are not needed for the girl to turn, but go hand in hand when it happens such as Homura giving up in episode 12 and her gem started rapidly corrupting in response. There seems to be a few exceptions to this however:

***In Kazumi Magica the girls were polishing their gems via [[Juubey]] under the belief that they were being cleaned, and despite their mental state being fairly normal, Niko and Saki turned into witches when their gems reached their limits (though Saki's was influenced due to an Evil Nut.)
***In MagiReco Iroha had neglected cleaning her soul gem after being in Kamihama for awhile, but her mental state hadn't declined in the slightest. When her gem was reaching its limit, Iroha was incapacitated and in pain.
**[[Tweets#Gen_Urobuchi.2C_Script_Writer_2|According to Urobuchi in a tweet]], a magical girl who doesn't know the truth about her soul gem and gets injured to the point that she genuinely believes she will die will have her soul gem darken immediately. Thus, if a magical girl like Mami lost her head but her soul gem was safe, she would become a witch quickly as she doesn't know the truth about soul gems and would despair due to believing she is dying/dead.

*It's implied that Witches can only be made out of beings that have a soul and are capable of emotion, and may not actually be limited by one's species (i.e. humans). Evidence for this:

**In Tart Magica, Kyubey points out that the Witch transformation only happens to other life forms and not Incubators. This is in relation to Isabeau who, while wished to have everything Kyubey had, couldn't avoid becoming a Witch as she was still a human and had emotions and a soul.
**Magia Record introduces the concept of a "Half-Witch" via Eve, who is the result of Ui's soul being removed from her body before her impurities could corrupt her soul. After her soul was transferred into Little Kyubey, it prevented Ui from becoming a Witch and her impurities instead corrupted and transformed her soulless body.
***This however creates a strange contradiction in that Touka had mentioned that without a soul, a Witch just dies. It's possible that the impurities and emotions, likely residues of it within her body, were the only thing that kept it going.
**Touka also mentions that (in relation to Incubators) Little Kyubey is incapable of becoming a Witch as it has no emotions and didn't appear to be affected in any way when it merged with Eve. It's very likely that Incubators are the only known species unable to become a Witch due to their lack of these things (soul and emotions.)
***Though Little Kyubey's case is stranger still as it very clearly expresses something due to having its powers taken away by Ui, Touka, and Nemu, and then having Ui's soul in its body. Even after the soul was removed, Little Kyubey still acts the same.
*Witches and their Familiars give off magic patterns that can be tracked by magical girls. All of their magical patterns are also different.
**Soul Gems react the closer one is in response to a Witch's magic. The level of response to a Soul Gem tells the strength of their magical power, e.g. the greater power of a witch vs. the lesser one of a familiar. They can also be used to open an entrance into a labyrinth. (revealed in Mami's route in Portable)
*Witches are invisible to normal humans, but can be seen by magical girls and potential ones. According to [[Touka Satomi]]'s MSS in Magia Record, the reason why is because Witches, Familiars and their Labyrinths exist on a very specific wavelength that can only be perceived as light and sound.
**Oriko contradicts this however when Madoka's classmates were able to see Kirika's labyrinth and familiars. The reason for this could be because they're not under the influence of a Witch's kiss while in the labyrinth. Evidence for this is:

***Sayaka's route in Portable with with Kyosuke and Hitomi
***Tart Magica with Isabeau's Witch being so big that her labyrinth trapped all of France, allowing Tart's soldiers and Isabeau's soldiers to see and fight Witches
***In [[Magia Record Story The Green Jasper Diviners|Magia Record's Green Jasper Diviners Event]], Chiharu's mom and Shizuka's mom fought Familiars in a village engulfed in a labyrinth. It was also mentioned that they couldn't fight off the Familiars unless their weapons were infused with magic (heavily implying normal weapons are incapable of harming Witches/Familiars and that only magic can hurt them)
***In Madoka's A La Carte Valentine story in MagiReco, Kako says that one doesn't have to be a magical girl to see Familiars inside a Witch's labyrinth. This implies that normal human beings can only see Familiars and Witches if they're in a labyrinth (and also not under a Witch's kiss.)
***In [[Sasara Minagi]]'s MSS, it's noted that those cursed by a Witch's kiss become unconscious and don't usually remember what happened, further confirming this theory.
****This doesn't explain, however, why Walpurgisnacht specifically has no labyrinth but '''''still''''' can't be seen by humans. It's possible that, like Kyubey, Walpurgisnacht could just choose to be invisible to humans so that it could continue its destruction without interruption and magical girls/potential ones just can't be fooled by this. It could also be because of its incredible strength that allows it to do this.

*The level of sentience in Witches and Familiars appears to vary. The large majority are animal-like, being unable to recognize friends/family nor act human anymore. Some interesting exceptions:

**In Kazumi Magica, while Saki's Witch had killed Mirai, she is later seen protecting Kazumi from Kanna's witches in The Freezer. It was noted that this was because her Witch's nature was "sisterly love" and Saki was in love with Kazumi (who was Michiru's clone, and she loved the original as well.)
**MagiReco has the Mirror Witch's Familiars inviting others into their labyrinth via letters a few times. It's also shown that this Witch's ability allows it to create copies of others such as magical girls who can act almost like the original, and even converse like a normal person. They drop the act once they're exposed though.
***Isabeau's Witch is a very unique case in that, because of [[Lapin]]'s wish to return her to how she was before becoming a Witch and the transformation itself being irreversible, the corrupted mind of the Witch was made to inhabit Isabeau's body. Her speech was shown to be severely limited however (though MagiReco might contradict this given her playble status via Quotes), and yet was able to be understood by her daughters and retain her ambition to destroy all of France.
****While this transformation was noted to be irreversible, the Different Story had Madoka wishing to revive Sayaka after she became a Witch and died. This likely because of Madoka's potential though, which was greater than Lapin's.
****Even so, Lapin's ability from her wish has made it possible for her to avoid permanently becoming a Witch, being shown to transform back to how she was before with seemingly no change to her personality nor any other drawbacks. As such, Lapin is currently the only known magical girl who is effectively immune to witchification.

*They primarily feed on humans and kill them, though it's debatable on whether most or all Witches literally consume prey or simply drain their life force (or a combination of the two.) Familiars also do this in order to grow up into a Witch themselves.
**Other than Charlotte, Oriko Magica also suggests actual consumption rather than the latter as Kikira's Witch's Familiars devoured a person, though this could vary based on the Familiar type.
**MagiReco also has Witches and Familiars consuming Grief Seeds to become stronger.
**In the MagiReco anime, it's been shown that Witches can and will kill each other if they trespass each other's territories and will result in the loser dropping a grief seed. So it's likely that Witches, or rather most in general, will target each other and consume the other like any other prey.
*The MagiReco anime shows the appearance of multiple of the same Witch, confirming that Familiars do in fact grow up into an exact copy of the original and not a different one.

*Mami's route in the Portable game reveals the following information:
**Witches are generally cautious which is why they are generally not in public, but lurk at the back of labyrinths. ''Note: It implies strong and/or confident witches may choose to not have labyrinths.''
**Witches move around and like to be in ominous places where the negative feelings of many people are easier to gather. MagiReco contradicts this with Witches appearing in non-ominous places, but that could be because of the above point, that they are stronger than normal and thus more confident in attacking anywhere they want.
**The complexity of the labyrinth gives indication of the strength of the witch. Stronger witches have more complex labyrinths. MagiReco confirms this with the Mirror Witch, [[Sarah Mirabilis W]].
***Exceptions to this are [[Walpurgisnacht]], Hyades Daybreak, and [[Shitori Egumo]], all of which are very large and powerful Witches created under unusual circumstances.
**If someone, whether a regular human or a magical girl dies in the labyrinth, their body disappears there. They will forever be considered a missing person to the rest of the world. However in Sayaka's route where she looses her soul gem, it is implied that as long as the witch is still alive something lost can be recovered, but once the witch is defeated then everything inside the labyrinth vanishes and can't be recovered.

*Witches seem to have very distinct appearances and naming schemes between modern times (Madoka) and medieval times (Tart), though this could be because of different artists:
**Witches in Tart's time tend to look more detailed and realistic compared to Witches in modern times which are abstract and organic.
**Witches in Tart's time also seem to follow a different naming conventions compared to the shorter, more normal names Witches have in modern times, where they seem to indicate a title such as Tart, Melissa, Elisa and Isabeau's Witches.

Talk:Mami Tomoe

2023-06-14T18:08:46Z

The Witch's House: /* Question from a stupid person. */

Spoiler tag, maybe? --[[User:Madokaanon|Madokaanon]] 13:23, 21 January 2011 (CST)

== 2ch memes ==

From twitter:
<blockquote>海外のまどマギのまとめwikiがおもしろい。登場人物や各話の考察だけじゃなく、「2chではhomuraの住んでいる家を『ほむホーム』と呼んでいる」とか書いてある。「マミる」についてはまだ何も書かれてない </blockquote>
Indeed, no mention of "Mamiru" on this page, although we did add the 2ch memes about Homura and Kyouko (looks like somebody has removed "condom-chan" though). Do you find it worth adding? (basically, they made a verb out of Mami's name based on ... well, you know ;_;) --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 19:28, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

==Regarding her name==
I wonder if they were trying to imply that she has mixed parentage with the sort-of Italian-sounding non-name in katakana (along with the Italian epithet for her gun)? It makes more sense than trying to piecemeal silly kanji meanings over it. You'd have to be a cruel parent to intend that your child's name be read literally. --Wyatt
:I think it was an accidental coincidence. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 21:57, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
::Not that I am complaining. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 21:58, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
::... All the more since [[Translated_Official_Documents#Mami.27s_special_move|her move name was totally improvised]] --[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 06:30, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Mami is an actual name, I think. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.254.107|162.158.254.107]] 07:41, 15 October 2015 (UTC)Kartoffel

==Mami's Witch==

Can someone help me with a translation? I plan to make card for a potential Witch!Mami. I just need help translating her card description into Japanese. Here's her description:

<blockquote>The Butterfly Witch. Her nature is fragility. She lures humans into her world with the desire for company. However, her smile hides a broken mind and she will devour those who drop their guard. She appears to take great pleasure in her ways. She will continuously seek more companions. There are times when she will cry from her loneliness. She will never lose her head in a fight. She desires the company of other Witches the most.</blockquote>

I would appreciate it if someone can help out. Thanks --[[User:SPDUDE48|SPDUDE48]] 14:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

::Witch!Mami's name is Candeloro. She has a witch card. She, however, has a similar nature to your idea.

==Official translation deletion==
As [[User:Randomanon|Randomanon]] has pointed out someone is deleting part of the accurate translation. Whoever it is it needs to be warned or banned. --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 03:35, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

== Changes in the character page ==
It always bothered me how chaotic the main character pages seemed, so I'm thinking of changing them according to the guidelines, though I'm a bit scared because some are HUGE lol. Perhaps I will start with Mami. Should I put a preview here in the discussion page first [[User:Secco|Secco]] 07:39, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[[User:Secco|Secco]]
*I agree, but since the post is so old, is anyone still interested in organising the page? Some of the sections seem to be just mass spammage of information. Also, can someone advise on the use of the past tense or the present tense? [[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 17:58, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
**The pages could definitely use some clean-up. I'd be willing to help edit a few pages, too, if needed. As for present vs past tense, I would default to using present for anything that occurs during the story, and past for things that are spoken of happening before the timeline being examined at the time. So for example, Mami ''is'' a magical girl, and she ''contracted'' with Kyubey some time ago. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 18:12, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
***I've started with cleaning up (as you may see from the edits). It's great to know I'm not the only one. I've been keeping almost all the info, just moving them around, and I haven't really added any new info, in case anyone is wondering. Thanks for the tenses advice, but could I clarify regarding specific events in the timeline? There's a couple of examples I saw here:
***When we say Mami got eaten by Charlotte, is it "she jumped recklessly..." or "she jumps recklessly..."?
***"When assaulting Gertrud's barrier, Mami fights in a very focused and disciplined manner, choosing her shots carefully and reacting quickly when she gets into trouble." It reads better in past tense to me since it's a specific event.[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 18:50, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
**** For the first question, it could go either way. I'd pick whatever reads easiest and matches the paragraph tense around it. For the second, it's describing how she fights as a general rule as compared to her more frenzied fighting in Charlotte's barrier, so I'd keep it present. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 20:40, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
***** I think the other character pages also need tidying up too, actually, but I'm focusing on Mami only for now. Any ideas on new sections would be great, I've sorta run dry of ideas to classify the remaining content further (There's still too much lumped under observations and speculations). If there's any objections to my newly added sections, just raise it too.
***** I haven't read any of the other media (though I know the storylines), so it'll be good if someone can look at Oriko, Kazumi and add ''The Different Story'' and the movie details. [[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 11:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
****** Probably the easiest way to do it like the spin-off characters, with a full history section, so we can remove the episode 3 spoiler from the top of the page. The history section can be further divided up by anime/movie/different manga sections. I'll start that now, actually. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 13:30, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
******* It looks good. Do you think personality should be incorporated into General info? Cos it's short and it's...general info.
******* Hmmm, I went to take a look at the spin-off characters. History also won't fit as well being the third part compared to the spin-offs cos a lot of the distilled info is in other parts (and since there's nothing in anime+dramaCDs now, it isn't as enticing). Maybe after wish and weapons? --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 13:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
******** History and personality are really the major points when it comes to story, so I think those should go first. The official/general info section could be cut down by putting info like the note about her deaths into the history section, really. The personality section was just a short placeholder for the moment, mostly, while we work on moving things around.
******** Also, doing it this way makes all the character pages the same in format, plus puts spoilers like the wish and weapons/fighting styles after their in-story context, which is more important when it comes to story and plot function. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 14:20, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
*********Hmmm I don't think we have to worry about formatting because we're effectively creating a new template (that I assume will be transferred to the rest of the pages). History seems to be a general synopsis of the whole thing, but it's rather piecemeal imo because it's character specific. Let's wait for more opinions before we get in on that again. No point fighting over it now.
*********Now in hindsight, it seems more appropriate if the New World is put together with the anime, because it's one continuity. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 14:34, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
********* That's true. The new movie will be in that world, so we can always just move it to a new section when that comes out. The first two movies have no new plot details so we can skip them in the history section. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 14:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
*** "In "The different story", Kyoko is not member of Mami's party and Mami quit "a champion of justice"　for Sayaka. Therefore, There is a possibility that same situations occur in Timeline 3. If so they are, "Mami's act in Timeline 3" has　logical means. In short, Kyoko is not friend(It means that there is no means that Mami forbids herself shooting Kyoko.), Mami has not reason to live(Because, Mami quit "a champon of justice" for Sayaka and Sayaka is lost.), and Homura kills Sayaka(Oktavia) in front of Mami(It means that Mami has reason to kill Homura)." "In "The different story", Mami does not fall insanity and turns to the witch when immediately　after she knows the truth of the soulgem. So in Timeline 3, Mami may not fall insanity when she knows the truth of the soulgem." Makes no sense at all, anyone wanna rewrite it?

== Intro paragraph ==
I think we need a better synopsis which doesn't immediately spoil Episode 3 for anyone who googles Mami Tomoe before watching it. (Yes, there are people who haven't watched it yet. I was one of them until 2 months ago.) I don't have any ideas, but it would be great if someone could edit it. [[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 18:59, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
:The revision history is amusing.
::21 January 2011: IP address from AUS: "She died tragically in episode 3."
::21 January 2011: Artefacto: Undoes that revision, removing the spoiler.
::26 January 2011: IP address from GER: "She dies a gruesome death in the battle against the witch [[Charlotte]] in [[episode 3]]."
::27 January 2011: Homerun-chan adds a spoilers warning box above the paragraph.
::27 January 2011: Episode 4 airs.
::29 January 2011: IP address from UK: Inserts "seemingly" before "dies."
::Spoiling it within hours of when subs first became available, and requiring a "seemingly" qualifier since watching her get chewed to pieces and her magic be dispelled on camera wasn't sufficient confirmation that she died. Good times. Well, the new paragraph shouldn't spoil things for anyone who doesn't know about it, right? [[User:KM|KM]] 08:47, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::It looks great! [[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 10:24, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Consolidation ==

I've been tidying up the page for the last couple of days, but so far I've been avoiding making substantial changes to the content cos I'm not sure how to do so without cutting details. For example, in the below example it's probably clear that person A wrote some interpretation about episode 10 first, then two separate people commented on it, disagreeing.

To shorten and consolidate the point, should I just rephrase the whole thing? Cos I feel that the differing opinions have value in them but it's awkwardly long for a wiki article. It's the same thing for the discussion on whether Mami is the strongest magical girl.

Opinions anyone? Delete, keep or shift to the discussion page? Or create another page for interpretation? Or something?

*In episode 10, learning the awful truth about magical girls after fighting Sayaka/Oktavia makes Mami from Timeline 3 lose her mind, since her whole view of the world is shattered. She breaks down in tears, killing Kyoko by shooting her Soul Gem, then wraps Homura in ribbons and tries to kill her, genuinely thinking that she is saving them from a fate worse than death. Madoka, however, destroys Mami's Soul Gem with a beam arrow and kills her to stop her rampage.
**Mami may have been calmer than she first seemed, considering she did not despair and turn into a witch immediately. Her method of attack was also strategic, killing Kyoko, who is a close-range combat expert possessing high speed and agility first, tying up Homura so she cannot use her time manipulation, and leaving Madoka, who is timid and held much admiration for her (and thus was not expected to react so quickly), later.
**In "Key Animation Note Volume 5,P194", Yukihiro Miyamoto (the series director of Puella Magi Madoka　Magica) says that Mami binds Homura and kills Kyoko "in calm judgment."(He stated, "I like Mami's calm judgment. Firstly, she binds Homura who has the ability to manipulate　time. Subsequently, she kills Kyoko who has the powerful offensive power. Mami's only miscalculation is that Madoka's　mind is stronger than she assumed."). Considering the circumstances mentioned above, the producers of Puella Magi Madoka Magica insist that the Mami of Timeline 3 doesn't lose her mind in that occurrence.

:::For this specific example, the two double-bulleted sections could be merged into one, since they're quite redundant.

:::In the general case, err on the side of including detail. Having rebuttals to analysis isn't a problem (although poorly written or stupid ones warrant fixing or axing).

:::By the way, use the preview function every time. It makes editing a lot more efficient and helps consolidate small edits. I still have to double check everything I write to avoid having typos slip in. [[User:KM|KM]] 17:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::::Ok I will. Sorry for crowding the History page. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 18:29, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Spoilers ==

I have absolutely no idea what to put as spoilers (i.e. blank out, I dunno the term for it) and what to leave there as per normal. I suspect that Oriko and Kazumi are treated as spoilers cos most people didn't/haven't read them yet, but I'm not sure what to do with the Madoka Magica ones. There's so many Wham Lines that it's ridiculous.

Should Oriko and Kazumi still be blanked out? I support that (cos I haven't read them yet). Should info regarding certain eps in Madoka Magica be blanked out too? What do you think?
The particular line that bugs me is this: She was brought back to life due to Madoka's wish at the end of Episode 12. She now fights Demons with Kyoko and Homura.
[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 10:46, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:I think it's reasonable to keep spoiler tags for material that isn't yet available in English, or has just been released. So I wouldn't count in the episodes from the series or Oriko. Otherwise we might as well white out the whole page, since anything can be a spoiler to somebody. Having everything sorted into proper sections would help peole avoid areas where there's a high chance of spoilers for them. --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 11:46, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah, that's reasonable. My personal take for spoilers is the New World in eps 12, Oriko and Kazumi, but if it's sorted properly there won't be a need to white them out.More work to do then. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 12:10, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::Whiteouts should be rare. If it's one line in the whole article, or a couple sentences about a different work that's OK. They can be used more often for related works like Oriko, since it might not be obvious that you'll get the ending of a spinoff spoiled (you might not even be aware of the spinoff), or for stuff that's new and not widely read yet.

:::However, if someone hasn't finished the main anime and starts reading through the guts of a wiki article anyway, it's their own fault if they get spoiled. I thought it was a good idea to remove the intro paragraph spoiler because it's "above the fold" and could be seen by somebody previewing the page before it sinks in that they're in an article with a big spoiler warning at the top.

== Spoiler template ==

I have no programming background/knowledge, so I trialed and errored and edited the template. I haven't posted it up yet because I suspect there's a rule somewhere that says that we should reference the template page instead of typing it out on the page. Anyone knows anything about that?
<div style="border: 1px solid #c90209; border-left: 5px solid #c90209; padding: 7px 10px; margin-bottom: 1em; background: #fff; {{#if: {{{margin}}}| margin-right: {{{margin}}}}}">
'''This article may contain major spoilers for all episodes and chapters.
Please refrain from reading if you are not yet familiar with all the latest media released</div>

I feel it's more suitable for the spoiler banner as it says article instead of section. If anyone could edit the actual template to include an 'article' option, it would be great. Any opinions on what it should say? 'Latest media released' seems awkward since the original Madoka Magica anime isn't really 'latest media' anymore...
[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 11:13, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:Changing section to article makes sense there. Latest media released probably applies to anything released recently, not just the anime. Which might be confusing for someone who isn't keeping up with what is being released... --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 12:04, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::I agree. For the character pages, a good warning would be ALL the media released, depending on the section, but that's rather intimidating. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 12:26, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::Yes, it does sound rather intimidating. I think the character pages should be more accessible than that. An option could be to add a smaller warning at the top of the page with: "This article may contain spoilers from various media. Please proceed with caution.", then use individual warnings for sections where it's not obvious what is being spoiled. --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 13:13, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::We shouldn't have very similar or redundant templates, and "section" could technically cover an article, so a separate article-wide warning should add something more substantial. I can't think of much besides linking to a list of the existing media, and it's hard to describe article formats because different articles will have spoilers in different places. If we can't come up with anything more meaty to add to an article-wide box, the way you have it now seems pretty good with "above the fold" stuff being spoiler-free, and subsections spoiling freely. As for actually changing templates, that's something you'd have to check with [[User:0x99|0x99]] for. [[User:KM|KM]] 17:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

::::I like Knon's suggestion about the phrasing. Is it substantial enough? Do you think the first and second lines be swapped? I think we should firm up an idea for a template before asking 0x99 (thanks for the heads-up). I also edited the spoiler warning for the History section to make it specific to sub-sections (not really necessary) and specific releases instead of latest releases (more necessary I think).

::::I think it's worth leaving in. A lot of people think she wears fancy, sexy ones like what we usually see in fanart.

== Speculation formatting ==

The speculation section seems to be a semi-forum-ish argument-counterargument on certain issues. It's hard to follow this way, so I tried putting it in a table form (see below) for one of the arguments about how strong Mami is. What do you think?
 
Formatting is a bit rough (I adapted it from the Weapons page) as I did it by trial and error. Directly opposing points are next to each other.

*Wow, that is ''really'' big. Maybe for the speculations that have become so big like this, it might be worth just putting it on a Speculah/Article page of its own? Using a few of these tables will clutter the page quickly. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 16:15, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Question from a stupid person. ==

I saw a Gen Urobuchi tweet that, if a Puella Magi is "killed" (or rather, if a normally fatal wound is caused and the Magi doesn't know the truth about magical girls (that being that they cannot die due to their souls being in their soul gems)) would instead instantly turn into a witch. Do we know if this happened to Mami? [[Charlotte]], if I recall correctly, only decapitated her. This would mean Mami became Candeloro, right? Am I wrong on this? [[User:PureChaos|PureChaos]] ([[User talk:PureChaos|talk]]) 13:03, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
: I don't think Mami's death can confirm or deny that theory. Mami's soul gem was on her head, so it was undoubtedly destroyed when Charlotte chomped on her head. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:14, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
:: Fair point, but I don't remember Charlotte chewing, only doing a single bite at her neck. This leads me to think her gem was intact. [[User:PureChaos|PureChaos]] ([[User talk:PureChaos|talk]]) 11:56, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
:::Also, when Madoka became the law of cycles, she had an afterlife conversation with both Kyoko and Mami, but not Sayaka. Sayaka is the only one we can confirm became a witch in the original series whereas we can also confirm with certainty that Kyoko's soul gem was shattered. Since Mami is there and not Sayaka, it implies Mami's soul gem was crushed also. IIRC, there is also a shattering or twinkling effect when Mami gets chomped to support this. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 13:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
::::Charlotte didn't do a clean cut, she did chomp and chew her head off, and because Mami's soul gem is on her head it got broke because of that. They show a scene in the anime of the gem breaking and Mami's clothes reverting to her school uniform when it happens. To my knowledge, Mami only ever becomes Candeloro in the Portable game in one of her routes, and that had nothing to do with Charlotte either. - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 15:37, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

::::::Gem shattering visual+sound is in the movie (specifically for that purpose), but the point still stands.

I wonder if they were trying to imply that she has mixed parentage with the sort-of Italian-sounding non-name in katakana (along with the Italian epithet for her gun)?

==Mami's Witch==

Can someone help me with a translation? I plan to make card for a potential Witch!Mami. I just need help translating her card description into Japanese. Here's her description:

<blockquote>The Butterfly Witch. Her nature is fragility. She lures humans into her world with the desire for company. However, her smile hides a broken mind and she will devour those who drop their guard. She appears to take great pleasure in her ways. She will continuously seek more companions. There are times when she will cry from her loneliness. She will never lose her head in a fight. She desires the company of other Witches the most.</blockquote>

*I agree, but since the post is so old, is anyone still interested in organising the page? Some of the sections seem to be just mass spammage of information. Also, can someone advise on the use of the past tense or the present tense? [[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 17:58, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
**The pages could definitely use some clean-up. I'd be willing to help edit a few pages, too, if needed. As for present vs past tense, I would default to using present for anything that occurs during the story, and past for things that are spoken of happening before the timeline being examined at the time. So for example, Mami ''is'' a magical girl, and she ''contracted'' with Kyubey some time ago. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 18:12, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
***I've started with cleaning up (as you may see from the edits). It's great to know I'm not the only one. I've been keeping almost all the info, just moving them around, and I haven't really added any new info, in case anyone is wondering. Thanks for the tenses advice, but could I clarify regarding specific events in the timeline? There's a couple of examples I saw here:
***When we say Mami got eaten by Charlotte, is it "she jumped recklessly..." or "she jumps recklessly..."?
***"When assaulting Gertrud's barrier, Mami fights in a very focused and disciplined manner, choosing her shots carefully and reacting quickly when she gets into trouble." It reads better in past tense to me since it's a specific event.[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 18:50, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
**** For the first question, it could go either way. I'd pick whatever reads easiest and matches the paragraph tense around it. For the second, it's describing how she fights as a general rule as compared to her more frenzied fighting in Charlotte's barrier, so I'd keep it present. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 20:40, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
***** I think the other character pages also need tidying up too, actually, but I'm focusing on Mami only for now. Any ideas on new sections would be great, I've sorta run dry of ideas to classify the remaining content further (There's still too much lumped under observations and speculations). If there's any objections to my newly added sections, just raise it too.
***** I haven't read any of the other media (though I know the storylines), so it'll be good if someone can look at Oriko, Kazumi and add ''The Different Story'' and the movie details. [[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 11:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
****** Probably the easiest way to do it like the spin-off characters, with a full history section, so we can remove the episode 3 spoiler from the top of the page. The history section can be further divided up by anime/movie/different manga sections. I'll start that now, actually. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 13:30, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
******* It looks good. Do you think personality should be incorporated into General info? Cos it's short and it's...general info.
******* Hmmm, I went to take a look at the spin-off characters. History also won't fit as well being the third part compared to the spin-offs cos a lot of the distilled info is in other parts (and since there's nothing in anime+dramaCDs now, it isn't as enticing). Maybe after wish and weapons? --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 13:58, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
******** History and personality are really the major points when it comes to story, so I think those should go first. The official/general info section could be cut down by putting info like the note about her deaths into the history section, really. The personality section was just a short placeholder for the moment, mostly, while we work on moving things around.
******** Also, doing it this way makes all the character pages the same in format, plus puts spoilers like the wish and weapons/fighting styles after their in-story context, which is more important when it comes to story and plot function. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 14:20, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
*********Hmmm I don't think we have to worry about formatting because we're effectively creating a new template (that I assume will be transferred to the rest of the pages). History seems to be a general synopsis of the whole thing, but it's rather piecemeal imo because it's character specific. Let's wait for more opinions before we get in on that again. No point fighting over it now.
*********Now in hindsight, it seems more appropriate if the New World is put together with the anime, because it's one continuity. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 14:34, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
********* That's true. The new movie will be in that world, so we can always just move it to a new section when that comes out. The first two movies have no new plot details so we can skip them in the history section. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 14:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
*** "In "The different story", Kyoko is not member of Mami's party and Mami quit "a champion of justice"　for Sayaka. Therefore, There is a possibility that same situations occur in Timeline 3.

Good times. Well, the new paragraph shouldn't spoil things for anyone who doesn't know about it, right? [[User:KM|KM]] 08:47, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Consolidation ==

I've been tidying up the page for the last couple of days, but so far I've been avoiding making substantial changes to the content cos I'm not sure how to do so without cutting details. For example, in the below example it's probably clear that person A wrote some interpretation about episode 10 first, then two separate people commented on it, disagreeing.

To shorten and consolidate the point, should I just rephrase the whole thing? Cos I feel that the differing opinions have value in them but it's awkwardly long for a wiki article. It's the same thing for the discussion on whether Mami is the strongest magical girl.

Opinions anyone? Delete, keep or shift to the discussion page? Or create another page for interpretation? Or something?

*In episode 10, learning the awful truth about magical girls after fighting Sayaka/Oktavia makes Mami from Timeline 3 lose her mind, since her whole view of the world is shattered. She breaks down in tears, killing Kyoko by shooting her Soul Gem, then wraps Homura in ribbons and tries to kill her, genuinely thinking that she is saving them from a fate worse than death. Madoka, however, destroys Mami's Soul Gem with a beam arrow and kills her to stop her rampage.
**Mami may have been calmer than she first seemed, considering she did not despair and turn into a witch immediately. Her method of attack was also strategic, killing Kyoko, who is a close-range combat expert possessing high speed and agility first, tying up Homura so she cannot use her time manipulation, and leaving Madoka, who is timid and held much admiration for her (and thus was not expected to react so quickly), later.
**In "Key Animation Note Volume 5,P194", Yukihiro Miyamoto (the series director of Puella Magi Madoka　Magica) says that Mami binds Homura and kills Kyoko "in calm judgment."(He stated, "I like Mami's calm judgment. Firstly, she binds Homura who has the ability to manipulate　time. Subsequently, she kills Kyoko who has the powerful offensive power. Mami's only miscalculation is that Madoka's　mind is stronger than she assumed."). Considering the circumstances mentioned above, the producers of Puella Magi Madoka Magica insist that the Mami of Timeline 3 doesn't lose her mind in that occurrence.

:::For this specific example, the two double-bulleted sections could be merged into one, since they're quite redundant.

:::In the general case, err on the side of including detail. Having rebuttals to analysis isn't a problem (although poorly written or stupid ones warrant fixing or axing).

:::By the way, use the preview function every time. It makes editing a lot more efficient and helps consolidate small edits. I still have to double check everything I write to avoid having typos slip in. [[User:KM|KM]] 17:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::::Ok I will. Sorry for crowding the History page. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 18:29, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Spoilers ==

I have absolutely no idea what to put as spoilers (i.e. blank out, I dunno the term for it) and what to leave there as per normal. I suspect that Oriko and Kazumi are treated as spoilers cos most people didn't/haven't read them yet, but I'm not sure what to do with the Madoka Magica ones. There's so many Wham Lines that it's ridiculous.

Should Oriko and Kazumi still be blanked out? I support that (cos I haven't read them yet). Should info regarding certain eps in Madoka Magica be blanked out too? What do you think?
The particular line that bugs me is this: She was brought back to life due to Madoka's wish at the end of Episode 12. She now fights Demons with Kyoko and Homura.
[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 10:46, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:I think it's reasonable to keep spoiler tags for material that isn't yet available in English, or has just been released. So I wouldn't count in the episodes from the series or Oriko. Otherwise we might as well white out the whole page, since anything can be a spoiler to somebody. Having everything sorted into proper sections would help peole avoid areas where there's a high chance of spoilers for them. --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 11:46, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah, that's reasonable. My personal take for spoilers is the New World in eps 12, Oriko and Kazumi, but if it's sorted properly there won't be a need to white them out.More work to do then. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 12:10, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::Whiteouts should be rare. If it's one line in the whole article, or a couple sentences about a different work that's OK. They can be used more often for related works like Oriko, since it might not be obvious that you'll get the ending of a spinoff spoiled (you might not even be aware of the spinoff), or for stuff that's new and not widely read yet.

:::However, if someone hasn't finished the main anime and starts reading through the guts of a wiki article anyway, it's their own fault if they get spoiled. I thought it was a good idea to remove the intro paragraph spoiler because it's "above the fold" and could be seen by somebody previewing the page before it sinks in that they're in an article with a big spoiler warning at the top. [[User:KM|KM]] 17:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Spoiler template ==

I have no programming background/knowledge, so I trialed and errored and edited the template. I haven't posted it up yet because I suspect there's a rule somewhere that says that we should reference the template page instead of typing it out on the page. Anyone knows anything about that?
<div style="border: 1px solid #c90209; border-left: 5px solid #c90209; padding: 7px 10px; margin-bottom: 1em; background: #fff; {{#if: {{{margin}}}| margin-right: {{{margin}}}}}">
'''This article may contain major spoilers for all episodes and chapters.
Please refrain from reading if you are not yet familiar with all the latest media released</div>

I feel it's more suitable for the spoiler banner as it says article instead of section. If anyone could edit the actual template to include an 'article' option, it would be great. Any opinions on what it should say? 'Latest media released' seems awkward since the original Madoka Magica anime isn't really 'latest media' anymore...
[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 11:13, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:Changing section to article makes sense there. Latest media released probably applies to anything released recently, not just the anime. Which might be confusing for someone who isn't keeping up with what is being released... --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 12:04, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::I agree. For the character pages, a good warning would be ALL the media released, depending on the section, but that's rather intimidating. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 12:26, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::Yes, it does sound rather intimidating. I think the character pages should be more accessible than that. An option could be to add a smaller warning at the top of the page with: "This article may contain spoilers from various media. Please proceed with caution.", then use individual warnings for sections where it's not obvious what is being spoiled. --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 13:13, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::We shouldn't have very similar or redundant templates, and "section" could technically cover an article, so a separate article-wide warning should add something more substantial. I can't think of much besides linking to a list of the existing media, and it's hard to describe article formats because different articles will have spoilers in different places. If we can't come up with anything more meaty to add to an article-wide box, the way you have it now seems pretty good with "above the fold" stuff being spoiler-free, and subsections spoiling freely. As for actually changing templates, that's something you'd have to check with [[User:0x99|0x99]] for. [[User:KM|KM]] 17:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

'''This article may contain major spoilers regarding various media and spin-offs.
Please proceed with caution.</div>
::::I like Knon's suggestion about the phrasing. Is it substantial enough? Do you think the first and second lines be swapped? I think we should firm up an idea for a template before asking 0x99 (thanks for the heads-up). I also edited the spoiler warning for the History section to make it specific to sub-sections (not really necessary) and specific releases instead of latest releases (more necessary I think). Any opinons on that too? --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 19:10, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Little details ==

*Are Mami's curls Ojou Ringlets? It sure looks like it, but I'm not sure.--[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 14:45, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
**It's a TVtrope that works for her (ringlets that evoke a ladylike image), so I guess that's why we're calling them that, but really we could just call them whatever. We don't have to follow th exact TVtropes definition. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 14:50, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

*From trivia: "The reason Mami is hung up in naming her attacks is because she is trying to emulate the Mahou Shoujo from her childhood, it is her own way of gaining the courage to fight witches without feeling terrified." I don't remember this from anywhere. Was it in one of the guidebooks/interviews? --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 16:27, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::It's from [[Drama CD 3]], after Kyouko asks her why she's so hung up on her shouting her attack name: "Mami: I just think it’s better than fighting while you’re terrified/afraid. We’re always risking our lives when we fight Witches to death. But then I thought to myself, when we dreamed of our favourite magical girls as a child they never lost hope or were afraid." --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 17:00, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

*"Mami wears standard panties" - There's nothing specifically wrong with it, but there's nowhere to put it that doesn't sound awkward imo. Is it necessary? It's not censorship but it's not really a very important thing (Even considering Drama CD 2). --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 19:24, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, it's not a design note from a creator, doesn't really tell us anything about her costume we need to know, and it's not relevant to anything around it. I think it's safe to axe it. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 19:36, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::It actually is, which is why I mentioned it. [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Art_Book#Mami|Link]]. But only mentioning this out ignores other details that were put in the official book. I support axing it though. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 19:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::I suppose comparing it to Sayaka's page and whether it has it might help decide? Because she has the same note on in the book, too, but it's not mentioned on that page. So either we keep/add to both or we keep it off of both pages for consistency. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 19:55, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::::I think it's worth leaving in. A lot of people think she wears fancy, sexy ones like what we usually see in fanart. The choice reflects on her character and makes her seem a bit more innocent, and goes against the idea that she's out to find a boyfriend due to loneliness and some lines like when she was suggesting wishes to Madoka. Maybe we could add to the line to point out that the regular ones are in contrast to what fans often imagine. [[User:KM|KM]] 19:57, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::::It's reasonable, but could you elaborate and edit on that? Also, should it be in the more important general info or the trivia section then? --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 02:46, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

*[[File:Pmmm-04525.jpg|left|120px|thumb|]] Is this in the blu-ray version or the PSP game? Cos Mami's house appears to be a residence in the anime, but it is clearly a maisonette (apartment with two floors) here. --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 03:04, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

*I think it might be good to link the speculah pages involving Mami (with Mami's non-trivial involvement in the speculah) in a short list in the 'speculation' section or somewhere on the page. Any opinions?
*In the movie, I'm pretty sure Mami had a mark on fingernail. I don't think there are any pics to prove it, but can anyone who's seen them confirm this? [[User:ViralJuggernaut|ViralJuggernaut]] 05:45, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
== ToDo ==
Here are just a few things I think need to be done
*Synopsis of the drama CDs (Mami-specific parts)
*Tidying up of the text (See Consolidation above)
*Moving the large speculation sections into their own Speculah/Article page.
*Comparison of differences between anime and movie (Mami-specific)
--[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 18:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
== Speculation formatting ==

The speculation section seems to be a semi-forum-ish argument-counterargument on certain issues. It's hard to follow this way, so I tried putting it in a table form (see below) for one of the arguments about how strong Mami is. What do you think?
 
Formatting is a bit rough (I adapted it from the Weapons page) as I did it by trial and error. Directly opposing points are next to each other.

Mami's relative strength 
(Deleted as it was shifted to the [[Speculah:Mami is the Strongest Theory|Speculah]] page)
--[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 16:06, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
*Wow, that is ''really'' big. Maybe for the speculations that have become so big like this, it might be worth just putting it on a Speculah/Article page of its own? Using a few of these tables will clutter the page quickly. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 16:15, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
**I think that that would be good. Mami's page is really cluttered with all of this. I haven't edited a Speculah page before, so maybe someone/you could create the framework? On an unrelated note, are speculah hard to find (no direct links) or is it just me? --[[User:AMbeforenoon|AMbeforenoon]] 16:21, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
***They used to be easier to find, but since we cut them all down, we removed a lot of directs to them. You can find them on the [[Articles]] page. I can start a page for this particular speculation, but they're probably going to need individual pages. --[[User:CrownClown|CrownClown]] 16:34, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
::::Since it's speculation, it might fit better on the [[theories]] page. --[[User:Knon|Knon]] 17:04, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

::::::Thanks for handling it. Since everything is moved there, I'll delete it from the speculation section. I'll just put a short description of her strength in the general info part.

== Question from a stupid person. ==

I saw a Gen Urobuchi tweet that, is a Puella Magi is "killed" (or rather, if a normally fatal wound is caused and the Magi doesn't know the truth about magical girls (that being that they cannot die due to their souls being in their soul gems)) would instead instantly turn into a witch. Do we know if this happened to Mami? [[Charlotte]], if I recall correctly, only decapitated her. This would mean Mami became Candeloro, right? Am I wrong on this? [[User:PureChaos|PureChaos]] ([[User talk:PureChaos|talk]]) 13:03, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
: I don't think Mami's death can confirm or deny that theory. Mami's soul gem was on her head, so it was undoubtedly destroyed when Charlotte chomped on her head. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:14, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
:: Fair point, but I don't remember Charlotte chewing, only doing a single bite at her neck. This leads me to think her gem was intact. [[User:PureChaos|PureChaos]] ([[User talk:PureChaos|talk]]) 11:56, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
:::Also, when Madoka became the law of cycles, she had an afterlife conversation with both Kyoko and Mami, but not Sayaka. Sayaka is the only one we can confirm became a witch in the original series whereas we can also confirm with certainty that Kyoko's soul gem was shattered. Since Mami is there and not Sayaka, it implies Mami's soul gem was crushed also. IIRC, there is also a shattering or twinkling effect when Mami gets chomped to support this. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 13:55, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
::::Charlotte didn't do a clean cut, she did chomp and chew her head off, and because Mami's soul gem is on her head it got broke because of that. They show a scene in the anime of the gem breaking and Mami's clothes reverting to her school uniform when it happens. To my knowledge, Mami only ever becomes Candeloro in the Portable game in one of her routes, and that had nothing to do with Charlotte either. - [[User:The Witch's House|The Witch's House]] ([[User talk:The Witch's House|talk]]) 15:37, 13 June 2023 (UTC)

'''In general (re-organize later)''':
*They are creatures that spread curses, often causing unexplained accidents, murders and/or suicides, manipulating humans via a mark called a Witch Kiss. Whenever there's a kiss on someone, that Witch is almost always close by controlling them.
**Magia Record reveals that Familiars can also manipulate humans with a Witch kiss.
*They are the "mature" forms of magical girls, the result of a soul gem becoming entirely tainted in darkness and a magical girl falling into despair. It's the key emotion that leads to witchification.
**Both are not needed for the girl to turn, but go hand in hand when it happens such as Homura giving up in episode 12 and her gem started rapidly corrupting in response. There seems to be a few exceptions to this however:

***In Kazumi Magica the girls were polishing their gems via [[Juubey]] under the belief that they were being cleaned, and despite their mental state being fairly normal, Niko and Saki turned into witches when their gems reached their limits (though Saki's was influenced due to an Evil Nut.)
***In MagiReco Iroha had neglected cleaning her soul gem after being in Kamihama for awhile, but her mental state hadn't declined in the slightest. When her gem was reaching its limit, Iroha was incapacitated and in pain.
**[[Tweets#Gen_Urobuchi.2C_Script_Writer_2|According to Urobuchi in a tweet]], a magical girl who doesn't know the truth about her soul gem and gets injured to the point that she genuinely believes she will die will have her soul gem darken immediately. Thus, if a magical girl like Mami lost her head but her soul gem was safe, she would become a witch quickly as she doesn't know the truth about soul gems and would despair due to believing she is dying/dead.

*It's implied that Witches can only be made out of beings that have a soul and are capable of emotion, and may not actually be limited by one's species (i.e. humans). Evidence for this:

**In Tart Magica, Kyubey points out that the Witch transformation only happens to other life forms and not Incubators. This is in relation to Isabeau who, while wished to have everything Kyubey had, couldn't avoid becoming a Witch as she was still a human and had emotions and a soul.
**Magia Record introduces the concept of a "Half-Witch" via Eve, who is the result of Ui's soul being removed from her body before her impurities could corrupt her soul. After her soul was transferred into Little Kyubey, it prevented Ui from becoming a Witch and her impurities instead corrupted and transformed her soulless body.
***This however creates a strange contradiction in that Touka had mentioned that without a soul, a Witch just dies. It's possible that the impurities and emotions, likely residues of it within her body, were the only thing that kept it going.
**Touka also mentions that (in relation to Incubators) Little Kyubey is incapable of becoming a Witch as it has no emotions and didn't appear to be affected in any way when it merged with Eve. It's very likely that Incubators are the only known species unable to become a Witch due to their lack of these things (soul and emotions.)
***Though Little Kyubey's case is stranger still as it very clearly expresses something due to having its powers taken away by Ui, Touka, and Nemu, and then having Ui's soul in its body. Even after the soul was removed, Little Kyubey still acts the same.
*Witches and their Familiars give off magic patterns that can be tracked by magical girls. All of their magical patterns are also different.
**Soul Gems react the closer one is in response to a Witch's magic. The level of response to a Soul Gem tells the strength of their magical power, e.g. the greater power of a witch vs. the lesser one of a familiar. They can also be used to open an entrance into a labyrinth. (revealed in Mami's route in Portable)
*Witches are invisible to normal humans, but can be seen by magical girls and potential ones. According to [[Touka Satomi]]'s MSS in Magia Record, the reason why is because Witches, Familiars and their Labyrinths exist on a very specific wavelength that can only be perceived as light and sound.
**Oriko contradicts this however when Madoka's classmates were able to see Kirika's labyrinth and familiars. The reason for this could be because they're not under the influence of a Witch's kiss while in the labyrinth. Evidence for this is:

***Sayaka's route in Portable with with Kyosuke and Hitomi
***Tart Magica with Isabeau's Witch being so big that her labyrinth trapped all of France, allowing Tart's soldiers and Isabeau's soldiers to see and fight Witches
***In [[Magia Record Story The Green Jasper Diviners|Magia Record's Green Jasper Diviners Event]], Chiharu's mom and Shizuka's mom fought Familiars in a village engulfed in a labyrinth. It was also mentioned that they couldn't fight off the Familiars unless their weapons were infused with magic (heavily implying normal weapons are incapable of harming Witches/Familiars and that only magic can hurt them)
***In Madoka's A La Carte Valentine story in MagiReco, Kako says that one doesn't have to be a magical girl to see Familiars inside a Witch's labyrinth. This implies that normal human beings can only see Familiars and Witches if they're in a labyrinth (and also not under a Witch's kiss.)
***In [[Sasara Minagi]]'s MSS, it's noted that those cursed by a Witch's kiss become unconscious and don't usually remember what happened, further confirming this theory.
****This doesn't explain, however, why Walpurgisnacht specifically has no labyrinth but '''''still''''' can't be seen by humans. It's possible that, like Kyubey, Walpurgisnacht could just choose to be invisible to humans so that it could continue its destruction without interruption and magical girls/potential ones just can't be fooled by this. It could also be because of its incredible strength that allows it to do this.

*The level of sentience in Witches and Familiars appears to vary. The large majority are animal-like, being unable to recognize friends/family nor act human anymore. Some interesting exceptions:

**In Kazumi Magica, while Saki's Witch had killed Mirai, she is later seen protecting Kazumi from Kanna's witches in The Freezer. It was noted that this was because her Witch's nature was "sisterly love" and Saki was in love with Kazumi (who was Michiru's clone, and she loved the original as well.)
**MagiReco has the Mirror Witch's Familiars inviting others into their labyrinth via letters a few times. It's also shown that this Witch's ability allows it to create copies of others such as magical girls who can act almost like the original, and even converse like a normal person. They drop the act once they're exposed though.
***Isabeau's Witch is a very unique case in that, because of [[Lapin]]'s wish to return her to how she was before becoming a Witch and the transformation itself being irreversible, the corrupted mind of the Witch was made to inhabit Isabeau's body. Her speech was shown to be severely limited however (though MagiReco might contradict this given her playble status via Quotes), and yet was able to be understood by her daughters and retain her ambition to destroy all of France.
****While this transformation was noted to be irreversible, the Different Story had Madoka wishing to revive Sayaka after she became a Witch and died. This likely because of Madoka's potential though, which was greater than Lapin's.
****Even so, Lapin's ability from her wish has made it possible for her to avoid permanently becoming a Witch, being shown to transform back to how she was before with seemingly no change to her personality nor any other drawbacks. As such, Lapin is currently the only known magical girl who is effectively immune to witchification.

*They primarily feed on humans and kill them, though it's debatable on whether most or all Witches literally consume prey or simply drain their life force (or a combination of the two.) Familiars also do this in order to grow up into a Witch themselves.
**Other than Charlotte, Oriko Magica also suggests actual consumption rather than the latter as Kikira's Witch's Familiars devoured a person, though this could vary based on the Familiar type.
**MagiReco also has Witches and Familiars consuming Grief Seeds to become stronger.
**In the MagiReco anime, it's been shown that Witches can and will kill each other if they trespass each other's territories and will result in the loser dropping a grief seed. So it's likely that Witches, or rather most in general, will target each other and consume the other like any other prey.
*The MagiReco anime shows the appearance of multiple of the same Witch, confirming that Familiars do in fact grow up into an exact copy of the original and not a different one.

*Mami's route in the Portable game reveals the following information:
**Witches are generally cautious which is why they are generally not in public, but lurk at the back of labyrinths. ''Note: It implies strong and/or confident witches may choose to not have labyrinths.''
**Witches move around and like to be in ominous places where the negative feelings of many people are easier to gather. MagiReco contradicts this with Witches appearing in non-ominous places, but that could be because of the above point, that they are stronger than normal and thus more confident in attacking anywhere they want.
**The complexity of the labyrinth gives indication of the strength of the witch. Stronger witches have more complex labyrinths. MagiReco confirms this with the Mirror Witch, [[Sarah Mirabilis W]].
***Exceptions to this are [[Walpurgisnacht]], Hyades Daybreak, and [[Shitori Egumo]], all of which are very large and powerful Witches created under unusual circumstances.
**If someone, whether a regular human or a magical girl dies in the labyrinth, their body disappears there. They will forever be considered a missing person to the rest of the world. However in Sayaka's route where she looses her soul gem, it is implied that as long as the witch is still alive something lost can be recovered, but once the witch is defeated then everything inside the labyrinth vanishes and can't be recovered.

*Witches seem to have very distinct appearances and naming schemes between modern times (Madoka) and medieval times (Tart), though this could be because of different artists:
**Witches in Tart's time tend to look more detailed and realistic compared to Witches in modern times which are abstract and organic.
**Witches in Tart's time seem to have longer names that indicate a title such as Tart, Melissa, Elisa and Isabeau's Witches compared to the shorter, more normal names Witches have in modern times.

The Different Story Witches

2023-06-07T05:08:11Z

The Witch's House: /* Unnamed Witch 1 */

While a number of witches appear in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]], the vast majority of them remain unnamed. Below are images of the various witches that appear throughout the series in order of appearance.

==Unnamed Witch 1==
The first witch [[Mami]] fights. It shares a similar appearance to [[Elly]]. She saves the two new unnamed magical girls from it, giving them the [[Grief Seed]] afterwards.

==Minotaur Witch==
The second witch shown and the first witch [[Kyoko]] fights. It's presumed this is the same witch Kyoko fails to defeat in [[Drama CD 3]] since the Minotaur Witch uses decoys just like the CD Witch. Kyoko also remarks in the manga how she won't let it get away this time. Her use of a decoy is similar to [[Charlotte]]; her true form is her axe.

The witch of one of the unnamed magical girls from the beginning of the manga. She's the younger sister. She's described as a pin but it's unknown whether that's her witch type.

There's a bonus drawing of the two sisters at the end of the manga. The text alongside them reads: two sisters, both magical girls, and both also witches. The white one is the older sister, and the black one is the younger one. The elder sister captures prey and liquefies it, the younger sister then turns that liquid into nectar. One is a pin, while the other is a pincushion. They'll be together forever, friends forever.

Kazumi Magica Witches

2023-06-07T05:07:31Z

The Witch's House: /* Gallery */

{{spoilers|media=kazumi}}
The witches of [[Kazumi Magica]]. They come in two varieties: witches that are the same as the ones that appear in the anime, and [[Pseudo-witches|"pseudo-witches"]], which are imitation witches, as the name implies.

While most of the true witches are named, their names are unorthodox as they are simple German words. Some of them are not grammatically correct; when this is the case, this is noted.

A witch fought by the Pleiades Saints in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Chapter 3]]. It captured Umika and Kaoru. The other five Saints tracked it down after discovering that its barrier moved around on the same schedule as the Asunaro Library's bookmobile. Kazumi killed it with a precision strike from outside the barrier after the other Saints signaled her.

===Trivia and Speculation===
* This witch was designed as a drawing found in children's picture books, according to Takashi Tensugi
* 'Prologue' may not be the witch's real name - [[File_talk:Callsign_%27Prologue%27.jpg|the translation of the design notes]] refer to the Chapter 3 witch as "Callsign 'Prologue'", suggesting Prologue may be a design nickname

}}

The witch form of '[[Yuuri]]' ([[Airi Anri]]). It in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Chapter 5 and 6]].
The witch resembles a giant heart, which [[Yuri_undertones| may have certain implications]]. The rings on Yuuri's weaponry also appear on the witch.

When Kazumi attempts to turn Yuuri back to a human, it causes Yuuri's body to rise out from the witch, while still being connected to it. She appears to have almost no sense of self left, continuously repeating the last spell she used on Kazumi. Notably, her speech bubbles use the [[Deciphering_the_runes|runic language]]. It is defeated by the [[Pleiades Saints]].

===Trivia and Speculation===
* Illustrator Takashi Tensugi describes the witch in volume 2's design notes. The witch is in the shape of a heart with wounds because it came from a wounded heart. The twin ponytails are actually parts of a defibrillator, made from the image Airi has of herself after her illness was cured. Her familiars are bulbs, from the idea that Airi thought of herself as being planted in the hospital. Her aspect is Self Rejection, and her weak point is toxins in medicine. The witch makes the sound 'Puchi Puchi', similar to the sound of veins popping out of an angry person's forehead
* Her name was provided by Masaki Hiramatsu, the writer of Kazumi Magica. It means, 'never blooming hearts' in German
** Technically, the correct German name would be 'Nie blühende Herzen'. It may have been intended as grammatically wrong by Masaki Hiramatsu
*The witch's thread-like torture of the trapped Pleiades somewhat resembles a description of the black rope hell of Buddhist Purgatory, a place for people who have killed and have stolen from another multiple times

}}

'Arzt Kochen' is the witch form of [[Yuuri Asuka]], and appears in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Chapter 5]]. It resembles a giant hypodermic needle, similar to the weapon used by Yuuri as a magical girl. Giant forks come out of her body, which probably refers to either Yuuri's cooking talents or transforming into a witch during a cooking contest. The forks also contrast with the spoon amulet she carried, acting as a sort of evil counterpart; in fact, when the witch drops Yuuri's amulet, it possesses a dark fork in the handle in the opposite direction of the spoon (which then vanishes as the last part of Yuuri's witch form). It is defeated by the [[Pleiades Saints]].

===Trivia===
* Her name was provided by Masaki Hiramatsu, the writer of Kazumi Magica. It means, 'doctor cooking' in German
* She also appeared in the [[Madoka Magica Online]] game under the name Dr. Cook, although her runes still display her original name. Curiously, her Online barrier resembles Hungrige Pumpe's barrier more than her own

The witch form of [[Niko Kanna]], it appears in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Chapters 8 and 9]]. Its form is that of a shooting gallery dummy, with target circles spiraling outward from its forehead. The forehead has a large hole that extends to the back of the head, like a bullet hole. Its arms are giant blades that are used like scissors, and it has no lower body or legs. It repeatedly says 'cut'. It is defeated by [[Mirai Wakaba]]. {{Spoiler|After the Pleides Saints kill the witch, another Niko arrives claiming the version of her that died was a 'spare' given in accordance to her wish}}

===Trivia===
* In Chapter 7 Niko is reading an article about a Japanese kid shooting people in California.{{Spoiler|In Chapter 10, it is revealed that when she was a kid she accidentally killed her friends with a gun and injured herself in the process}}.
* The Grief Seed for the witch does not have the same emblem as Niko's Soul Gem - Niko's Soul Gem is a hexagon, while the witch's Grief Seed is a diamond
* The witch is named in Volume 3's design notes. Its name means 'White Queen' in German

A witch that attacked the Pleiades Saints before they became magical girls it appears in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Chapter 11]]. Her witch kiss was placed on everyone since they all wanted to take their own lives. Kazumi met them for the first time while rescuing them from it. Kazumi forces them to fight with guns she gives them and tells them if they want to really die then they can by the witch. The girls work together to defeat the witch with Kazumi delivering the finishing blow and saving the girls in the process. It resembles a large eel-like creature with a bonnet-like jellyfish on its head.

===Trivia and Speculation===
* The witch initially appeared as a swarm of familiar-like creatures, which then fused together into a single being, much like [[Mirai Wakaba]]'s ''La Bestia'' attack
* The eel-like part of the witch deflates and shrivels up when shot by the Pleiades. The jellyfish on top then re-inflates it like a balloon, possibly as part of a symbiotic relationship
* Her barrier resembles a beach, with several [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torii toriis] standing in the water and coral
* It is vaguely reminiscent of the description of the second witch that appeared in [[Drama CD 3]]
* In Volume 3's design notes, the witch is described as reminiscent of colony-type lifeforms such as coral and jellyfish. It's unclear whether a bunch of familiars join together to form the witch, or if the witch breaks apart into familiar-like things. Because her body is a colony, she can be hurt if one part of her is killed, but she cannot be destroyed unless the entire colony is wiped out at once. Despite her appearance, she's pretty dangerous
* The witch is named in Volume 3's design notes. Its name roughly means 'Hungry Pump' in German
* With her cute appearance turning into a monstrous worm-like one, one could say that Hungrige Pumpe is the Kazumi Magica version of [[Charlotte]]

The witch form of [[Satomi Usagi]] appearing in [[Kazumi_Magica#Chapter_Titles_and_Summaries|Chapter 15]]. It is vaguely humanoid, with a whistle for a head and a circular cage for a dress. The witch has a smaller, rabbit-like form that hides inside of the outer shell's dress. Kazumi uses 'La Bestia' to turn the witches familiars against her and destroy the witch's outer shell. Once her true form is shown, Kazumi grabs the rabbit and slams it against the wall, killing it. Though it then transforms back to a dead and bloody Satomi making Kazumi realise she's killed her friend.

===Trivia and Speculation===
* The witch appears to be an animal tamer. Her barrier is decorated with cages and she uses a whip to attack
* The name means: 'knight equipment of crybaby', with the 'knight equipment' reflecting the outer shell, and the 'crybaby' reflecting the inner body of the witch. The word 'Ritterstüng' is wrongly spelled here; the correct form would be 'Ritter Ausrüstung'
* The rabbit-like form may be the witch's true form
* Her familiars are small cats with mouths on their foreheads. They are somewhat reminiscent of [[Jubey]] and Satomi's childhood pet Sare. Kazumi turns them against the witch with [[Mirai Wakaba]]'s 'La Bestia' and uses them to blow up its outer shell

* The witch's body has a lily of the valley design winding around it, which is symbolic of Saki and her sister

The Witch's House: /* Madoka Magica Portable */

'''Ophelia''' ({{Runes|OPHELIA}}) is the [[witch]] form of [[Kyoko Sakura]], making an appearance in ''[[Madoka Magica Portable]]''. Like the anime witches, she was designed by [[Gekidan Inu Curry]]. She also appears in Mami's Heart Pounding Tiro Finale.

==History==
===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 realise 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.
===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.
===[[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.

==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 strech 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
*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]
*[[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
*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 it's 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.

==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 [[Speculah:Magical_Powers#Mind_Trick.2FIllusion_.28Confirmed.29|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 can generate separated bodies, similar to the effect of Rosso Fantasma. She can also assault by becoming a lance form.

==History==
===Madoka Magica Portable===
Candeloro first appears in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. Like the anime, her design was done by [[Gekidan Inu Curry]]. She has two familiars that represent [[Madoka]] and [[Kyoko]], in both appearance and fighting style. The one that resembles Madoka shoots uses a red bow while the one that resembles Kyoko uses yellow-orange spear. Candeloro can be fought if Mami falls into despair, though her labyrinth design and familiars can appear in mysterious witch barriers. Candeloro attacks resembles Mami's, as she has a simple rifle-like attack and can bind using ribbons. She can also take possession of a familiar to shoot a Tiro Finale-like attack, except it shoots flames rather than ammunition.

Candeloro's barrier includes familiar elements of Mami's 'mental landscape' including a rainbow bridge, teacups and apple trees beneath an overcast sky. The teacups are black, nearly undecorated and wide-brimmed. Within Candeloro's Witch Labyrinth is also a house with her witch's kiss on the door.

There are two variations of Mami becoming a witch in her [[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|game route]], one on day 19 and day 20, with the day 20 version unlocking an additional CG. To reach the day 20 ending, the following conditions must be met: first, one must select either Madoka or Kyouko during Day 15 Nighttime, and second, one must select Kyouko during Day 17 Noon. Finally, one must select Sayaka during Day 17 Evening. If one trips all three of these flags, then Mami becoming a witch will be delayed until day 20 and the additional CG will be shown. Mami's reason for falling into despair is that she didn't manage to save a child from [[Gisela]]'s labyrinth and she didn't wish to save her parents when given her wish by Kyubey, and along with her loneliness, she declares she has no right to be a magical girl and falls into despair.

===Madoka Magica Online===
Candeloro reappears in [[Madoka Magica Online]] along with her labyrinth and familiars.

===The Different Story===
Candeloro doesn't make a proper appearance in [[The Different Story]], however she appears in human form in Mami's vision when she begins to fall into despair. She looks similar to a younger Mami. Her hair is long, straight and is tied up with scrunchies instead of flower accessories. She wears a back dress over a white long sleeved shirt, stockings and black Mary Janes. Silhouettes of Du Polginac also appear however the Madoka one is absent because Sayaka became Mami's partner (instead of Madoka) along with Kyoko in this world/timeline.

===[[Magia Record]]===
Candeloro only makes an appearance as Mami's doppel however she appears along with every one of Mami's costumes.

====Anime Japan 2017 card description====
The Doppel of Invitation. Her form is that of dress-up. This Doppel is a replica of invitation. This Doppel uses her ribbon-like hands for a variety of attacks. However, the owner of these feelings does not believe that this small Doppel has that kind of great power hidden within her. She is a docile Doppel, but possibly because she has started to resemble a certain someone, she is strongly opinionated and doesn't do a very good job of listening to others. Those are her flaws.

====In-Game ([[Mami Tomoe in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description====
The Doppel of invitations. Its form is dressing up. The master of this emotion doesn't trust it but battles on, regardless of its presence. This Doppel is very small compared to other Doppels and always sits on its master's head, so the master is hardly aware of it. It is doubtful that they communicate, so its master fights normally while it supports her. It is small and looks unreliable, but its vines are powerful enough to penetrate any enemy.

====[[Holy Mami]] version description====
The Doppel of Worship. Its form is a Nimbus. The master of this emotion has accepted salvation in a moment of despair on the darkest of nights. As a result, she was miraculously given the strength to overcome the fear and anxiety that she once had. Due to the mental state of its master, this pitiful Doppel's appearance has changed, leading it to believe it can be a savior. Tiro Saint Doppelion is a symbol that represents a new hope for all girls in despair.

====[[Mami Tomoe (Swimsuit ver.)|Swimsuit]] version description====
The Doppel of Eternal Summer. Its form is cheerful. The master of this emotion is in very high spirits after making friends who fight beside her. Since she wants to be an exemplary role model, she tries to keep her cool around them. Perhaps because of this, the Doppel can't hide it's passionate, tropical look. By keeping a dangerous balance between the Doppel's unrestrained, explosive power and it's master's calm control over aiming, they have come to possess a formidable combat ability.

==Observations==
*Candeloro's tag has the runes {{Runes|CANDELORO DU POLIGNAC}} written on it. It reads, "Candeloro du Polignac"
*Text in her barrier reads "Happy Birthday"
* Candeloro and her familiars Du Polginac added together is suspected to be a reference to [[wikipedia:Yolande de Polastron|Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron, Duchesse de Polignac]], a member of [[wikipedia:Marie Antoinette|Marie Antoinette]]'s court who was greatly famed for her beauty
**Gabrielle de Polastron was a favorite of Maria Antoinette. In 1775 she was formally presented to the Queen of France, Marie-Antoinette, who was instantly "dazzled" by her, and invited her to move permanently to Versailles. The cost of maintaining oneself at the court of Versailles was ruinous and Gabrielle replied that her husband did not have the money to finance a permanent move to the palace. Determined to keep her new favourite by her side, the Queen agreed to settle the family's many outstanding debts and to find an appointment for Gabrielle's husband
**Gabrielle de Polastron was considered by many of her friends to be elegant, sophisticated, charming and entertaining. Ultimately, the queen's favouritism towards the Polignac family was one of the many causes which fueled Marie-Antoinette's unpopularity with some of her husband's subjects
*Candeloro is an [[wikipedia:it:Candeloro|Italian male name.]] The feminine name would be Candelora
**"Dell'oro" is a common word pair in Italian, meaning "of gold" and often attached to anything one wishes to deem precious. The name could be a play on Mami's main color
*The name Candeloro derives from a medieval tradition given to children born on the day of the Pagan holiday of Candlemas, or "feast of candles." Common superstitions of the tradition is tied to death and serpents
**[[wikipedia:it:Candelora|Candelora is a religious feast]], it is celebrated in February 2, when the Catholic church celebrates the ''"Presentazione del Signore"'' (Presentation of Our Lord). Formerly called the "Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary", it is now popularly called the feast of Candelora.[http://www.theflorentine.net/articles/article-view.asp?issuetocId=4043]

==Trivia==
* Early screenshots from the January 2012 Dengeki PlayStation magazine show the familiars bore colour-schemes more similar to the magical girls they're based on.
* The names of Candeloro's familiars: Du Polignac, were confirmed from the Madogatari event. Du Polignac forms for both Homuras, Sayaka and Hitomi were also shown at the same event
** Du Polignac have forms called 'Akairo-san' and 'Momoiro-san' for the Kyoko and Madoka familiars respectively. The naming scheme comes from the familiar's colour in Japanese (Aka means red, Kyoko's colour is red) and the word 'iro' which means colour, then with the honorific of 'san' which is a polite addition meaning Mr, Mrs, Miss etc.
*** Although the other planned familiars for Candeloro don't have official names, they can be speculated to be 'Aoiro-san' (Blue, Sayaka), 'Kuroiro-san' (Black, Homura), 'Murasakiiro-san' (Purple, Glasses Homura) and 'Midoriiro-san' (Hitomi)
* Information from the Madogatari event shows that Candeloro was planned to turn into a pendant with Mami's cameo on. She would then be worn by her familiars
*The runes on Du Polignac's dress could read "Benvenuto", meaning welcome in Italian.

The Different Story Witches

2023-06-06T20:14:44Z

The Witch's House:

While a number of witches appear in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]], the vast majority of them remain unnamed. Below are images of the various witches that appear throughout the series in order of appearance.

==Unnamed Witch 1==
The first witch [[Mami]] fights. It shares a similar appearance to [[Elly]]. She saves the two new unnamed magical girls from it, giving them the [[Grief Seed]] afterwards.

==Minotaur Witch==
The second witch shown and the first witch [[Kyoko]] fights. It's presumed this is the same witch Kyoko fails to defeat in [[Drama CD 3]] since the Minotaur Witch uses decoys just like the CD Witch. Kyoko also remarks in the manga how she won't let it get away this time. Her use of a decoy is similar to [[Charlotte]]; her true form is her axe.

The witch of one of the unnamed magical girls from the beginning of the manga. She's the younger sister. She's described as a pin but it's unknown whether that's her witch type.

There's a bonus drawing of the two sisters at the end of the manga. The text alongside them reads: two sisters, both magical girls, and both also witches. The white one is the older sister, and the black one is the younger one. The elder sister captures prey and liquefies it, the younger sister then turns that liquid into nectar. One is a pin, while the other is a pincushion. They'll be together forever, friends forever.

'''In general (re-organize later)''':
*They are creatures that spread curses, often causing unexplained accidents, murders and/or suicides, manipulating humans via a mark called a Witch Kiss. Whenever there's a kiss on someone, that Witch is almost always close by controlling them.
**Magia Record reveals that Familiars can also manipulate humans with a Witch kiss.
*They are the "mature" forms of magical girls, the result of a soul gem becoming entirely tainted in darkness and a magical girl falling into despair. It's the key emotion that leads to witchification.
**Both are not needed for the girl to turn, but go hand in hand when it happens such as Homura giving up in episode 12 and her gem started rapidly corrupting in response. There seems to be a few exceptions to this however:

***In Kazumi Magica the girls were polishing their gems via [[Juubey]] under the belief that they were being cleaned, and despite their mental state being fairly normal, Niko and Saki turned into witches when their gems reached their limits (though Saki's was influenced due to an Evil Nut.)
***In MagiReco Iroha had neglected cleaning her soul gem after being in Kamihama for awhile, but her mental state hadn't declined in the slightest. When her gem was reaching its limit, Iroha was incapacitated and in pain.
**[[Tweets#Gen_Urobuchi.2C_Script_Writer_2|According to Urobuchi in a tweet]], a magical girl who doesn't know the truth about her soul gem and gets injured to the point that she genuinely believes she will die will have her soul gem darken immediately. Thus, if a magical girl like Mami lost her head but her soul gem was safe, she would become a witch quickly as she doesn't know the truth about soul gems and would despair due to believing she is dying/dead.

*It's implied that Witches can only be made out of beings that have a soul and are capable of emotion, and may not actually be limited by one's species (i.e. humans). Evidence for this:

**In Tart Magica, Kyubey points out that the Witch transformation only happens to other life forms and not Incubators. This is in relation to Isabeau who, while wished to have everything Kyubey had, couldn't avoid becoming a Witch as she was still a human and had emotions and a soul.
**Magia Record introduces the concept of a "Half-Witch" via Eve, who is the result of Ui's soul being removed from her body before her impurities could corrupt her soul. After her soul was transferred into Little Kyubey, it prevented Ui from becoming a Witch and her impurities instead corrupted and transformed her soulless body.
***This however creates a strange contradiction in that Touka had mentioned that without a soul, a Witch just dies. It's possible that the impurities and emotions, likely residues of it within her body, were the only thing that kept it going.
**Touka also mentions that (in relation to Incubators) Little Kyubey is incapable of becoming a Witch as it has no emotions and didn't appear to be affected in any way when it merged with Eve. It's very likely that Incubators are the only known species unable to become a Witch due to their lack of these things (soul and emotions.)
***Though Little Kyubey's case is stranger still as it very clearly expresses something due to having its powers taken away by Ui, Touka, and Nemu, and then having Ui's soul in its body. Even after the soul was removed, Little Kyubey still acts the same.
*Witches and their Familiars give off magic patterns that can be tracked by magical girls. All of their magical patterns are also different.
**Soul Gems react the closer one is in response to a Witch's magic. The level of response to a Soul Gem tells the strength of their magical power, e.g. the greater power of a witch vs. the lesser one of a familiar. They can also be used to open an entrance into a labyrinth. (revealed in Mami's route in Portable)
*Witches are invisible to normal humans, but can be seen by magical girls and potential ones. According to [[Touka Satomi]]'s MSS in Magia Record, the reason why is because Witches, Familiars and their Labyrinths exist on a very specific wavelength that can only be perceived as light and sound.
**Oriko contradicts this however when Madoka's classmates were able to see Kirika's labyrinth and familiars. The reason for this could be because they're not under the influence of a Witch's kiss while in the labyrinth. Evidence for this is:

***Sayaka's route in Portable with with Kyosuke and Hitomi
***Tart Magica with Isabeau's Witch being so big that her labyrinth trapped all of France, allowing Tart's soldiers and Isabeau's soldiers to see and fight Witches
***In [[Magia Record Story The Green Jasper Diviners|Magia Record's Green Jasper Diviners Event]], Chiharu's mom and Shizuka's mom fought Familiars in a village engulfed in a labyrinth. It was also mentioned that they couldn't fight off the Familiars unless their weapons were infused with magic (heavily implying normal weapons are incapable of harming Witches/Familiars and that only magic can hurt them)
***In Madoka's A La Carte Valentine story in MagiReco, Kako says that one doesn't have to be a magical girl to see Familiars inside a Witch's labyrinth. This implies that normal human beings can only see Familiars and Witches if they're in a labyrinth (and also not under a Witch's kiss.)
***In [[Sasara Minagi]]'s MSS, it's noted that those cursed by a Witch's kiss become unconscious and don't usually remember what happened, further confirming this theory.
****This doesn't explain, however, why Walpurgisnacht specifically has no labyrinth but '''''still''''' can't be seen by humans. It's possible that, like Kyubey, Walpurgisnacht could just choose to be invisible to humans so that it could continue its destruction without interruption and magical girls/potential ones just can't be fooled by this. It could also be because of its incredible strength that allows it to do this.

*The level of sentience in Witches and Familiars appears to vary. The large majority are animal-like, being unable to recognize friends/family nor act human anymore. Some interesting exceptions:

**In Kazumi Magica, while Saki's Witch had killed Mirai, she is later seen protecting Kazumi from Kanna's witches in The Freezer. It was noted that this was because her Witch's nature was "sisterly love" and Saki was in love with Kazumi (who was Michiru's clone, and she loved the original as well.)
**MagiReco has the Mirror Witch's Familiars inviting others into their labyrinth via letters a few times. It's also shown that this Witch's ability allows it to create copies of others such as magical girls who can act almost like the original, and even converse like a normal person. They drop the act once they're exposed though.
***Isabeau's Witch is a very unique case in that, because of [[Lapin]]'s wish to return her to how she was before becoming a Witch and the transformation itself being irreversible, the corrupted mind of the Witch was made to inhabit Isabeau's body. Her speech was shown to be severely limited however (though MagiReco might contradict this given her playble status via Quotes), and yet was able to be understood by her daughters and retain her ambition to destroy all of France.
****While this transformation was noted to be irreversible, the Different Story had Madoka wishing to revive Sayaka after she became a Witch and died. This likely because of Madoka's potential though, which was greater than Lapin's.
****Even so, Lapin's ability from her wish has made it possible for her to avoid permanently becoming a Witch, being shown to transform back to how she was before with seemingly no change to her personality nor any other drawbacks. As such, Lapin is currently the only known magical girl who is effectively immune to witchification.

*They primarily feed on humans and kill them, though it's debatable on whether most or all Witches literally consume prey or simply drain their life force (or a combination of the two.) Familiars also do this in order to grow up into a Witch themselves.
**Other than Charlotte, Oriko Magica also suggests actual consumption rather than the latter as Kikira's Witch's Familiars devoured a person, though this could vary based on the Familiar type.
**MagiReco also has Witches and Familiars consuming Grief Seeds to become stronger.
**In the MagiReco anime, it's been shown that Witches can and will kill each other if they trespass each other's territories and will result in the loser dropping a grief seed. So it's likely that Witches, or rather most in general, will target each other and consume the other like any other prey.
*The MagiReco anime shows the appearance of multiple of the same Witch, confirming that Familiars do in fact grow up into an exact copy of the original and not a different one.

*Mami's route in the Portable game reveals the following information:
**Witches are generally cautious which is why they are generally not in public, but lurk at the back of labyrinths. ''Note: It implies strong and/or confident witches may choose to not have labyrinths.''
**Witches move around and like to be in ominous places where the negative feelings of many people are easier to gather. MagiReco contradicts this with Witches appearing in non-ominous places, but that could be because of the above point, that they are stronger than normal and thus more confident in attacking anywhere they want.
**The complexity of the labyrinth gives indication of the strength of the witch. Stronger witches have more complex labyrinths. MagiReco confirms this with the Mirror Witch, [[Sarah Mirabilis W]].
***Exceptions to this are [[Walpurgisnacht]], Hyades Daybreak, and [[Shitori Egumo]], all of which are very large and powerful Witches created under unusual circumstances.
**If someone, whether a regular human or a magical girl dies in the labyrinth, their body disappears there. They will forever be considered a missing person to the rest of the world. However in Sayaka's route where she looses her soul gem, it is implied that as long as the witch is still alive something lost can be recovered, but once the witch is defeated then everything inside the labyrinth vanishes and can't be recovered.

*Witches seem to have very distinct appearances and naming schemes between modern times (Madoka) and medieval times (Tart), though this could be because of different artists:
**Witches in Tart's time tend to look more detailed and realistic compared to Witches in modern times which are abstract and organic.
**Witches in Tart's time seem to have longer names that indicate a title such as Tart, Melissa, Elisa and Isabeau's Witches compared to the shorter, more normal names Witches have in modern times.
