{{nihongo|'''''Concept Movie'''''<ref group="Note">The word {{nihongo||ムービー|muubii}}, despite being a loanword from English "movie", has a slightly different connotation in Japanese than in English; namely it is also commonly used when in English one would typically use the word "video" instead.

The first animated ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' work since ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion]]'', it featured the return of the full ''Madoka Magica'' cast and staff. [http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-12-08/madoka-magica-concept-movie-will-be-core-of-new-project/.96224 According to SHAFT CEO Kubota], the concept movie is the core of a new ''Madoka Magica'' project, and serves as its trailer.

Presently, the concept movie remains officially unavailable to the public outside of the screening at Madogatari, and no announcement has been made of a streaming/home video release. However, the B-Type Concept Movie is available to watch on YouTube with English subtitles.

On April 25th, 2021, during the tenth anniversary of Madoka Magica, a sequel movie to Rebellion was announced, called ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Walpurgisnacht Rising]]''. It is likely that the Concept Movie was an early trailer for ''Walpurgisnacht Rising''.

==Trivia==
[[File:PN GICIN 115 Gretchen draft.jpg|thumb|[[Production Note]], Image Note, page 115]]
* Studio SHAFT often begin an anime production with a single "[http://genga.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=imageboard image board]" to capture the mood and atmosphere of an anime. Kubota describes this concept movie as an "extravagant" animated image board for the future ''Madoka Magica'' project.
* All original magical girls will appear in the project. Nagisa and Hitomi will also have important roles. Mami is also singled out as important as Mitsutoshi Kubota states and the movie will apparently strengthen the image of Mami as a "God of Battle,"
* Madoka's ballet solo seems based on "[[wikipedia:The Dying Swan|The Dying Swan]]," originally choreographed by Mikhail Fokine in 1905.<ref group="Note">Cross-comparison can be made against an archived copy of the choreography as uploaded to archive.org [https://archive.org/details/thedyingswan00foki/page/8/mode/2up here.]</ref> This performance is often cited as inspiration for what would become the role of Odette in Swan Lake.
* When interviewed in [[NewType 2016-01|NewType]], Kubota compares Mami's role to that of [[wikipedia:Guan Yu|Guan Yu]] from [[wikipedia:The Romance of Three Kingdoms|The Romance of Three Kingdoms]].<ref group="Note">Please see translation request, or the [[Talk:Puella Magi Madoka Magica Concept Movie|Concept Movie talk]] page.</ref>
* The Witch of Despair was a planned form of [[Kriemhild Gretchen]] in the original TV series.
* Designs for the [[Wraith]]s seen in the trailer seem to come from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc]] which were designed by [[Gekidan Inu Curry]] and used first in the [[Wraith Arc]] manga.
* Several facts suggest the Concept movie is a trailer for ''Walpurgisnacht Rising'':
** Both have been stated to be "the beginning of a new chapter".
** {{Spoiler|Wasu and Marguerite, two new characters presented in the fourth movie}} are mentioned in the screenshots of script shown at one point of the Concept movie.
** Most lines from the Concept movie are also presented in the fourth movie and some of its trailers.
** Concept art for {{Spoiler|Marguerite, Choka, Selma and Madoka's new dress}} is shown.
** Most pieces of art shown during Concept movie seem to be based on the storyboard for specific scenes (eg [[:file:Con paola maybe.PNG|Kyoko fighting several Bona]] is based on an actual scene from the movie, albeit not in the exact same way depicted in the art).
** Sayaka seems to have undergone some kind of weakening under Homura's manipulation in both media.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht: Rising-/Speculation

2026-09-20T19:06:52Z

WizardFlower: /* Main Theories */

{{Note|Because these theories have been made over time, please try to tag **when** your theories were added to this page. This page is not a "traditional" speculation page and will be updated post-release to confirm, deny, or generally update the contents.}}

==Main Theories==
{{Theory|status=unknown
|*It is likely that the [[Concept movie]] was an early preview for ''Walpurgisnacht: Rising''. This is further supported by the fact that some lines from the concept movie are present in the fourth movie as well as showing prototype concept art for ''Walpurgisnacht Rising's'' new original characters.
**Screenshots of a script shown during the concept movie seem to correspond to Walpurgisnacht Rising's script, given that {{Spoiler|Wasu and Marguerite}} are mentioned.
**Both works have been states to be "the beginning of a new chapter".
*The first trailer and its poster shows multiple [[Homura]]'s in a single shot. It is possible that the movie deals with either a multiverse or doppelgangers.
**Alternatively, multiple timelines could be merging together.
**Alternatively, based on similar costume elements such as the design of one Homura's headband, the [[Clara Dolls]] are capable of assuming her form.
**Almost all of the returning girls have a new form/design. This may further promote this theory.
*The new magical girl from the first trailer incorporates design elements from most of the [[Holy Quintet]].
** Her amalgamate outfit and her lack of a defined face in the trailer may suggest that she is intended to be a representation for the average Magical Girl in Homura's new universe.
** Alternatively it could be the embodiment of the Law of Cycles, trying to remember Madoka's past. This could explain her lack of a face as a way to hide her signature golden eyes.
*Madoka has a different outfit in the teaser poster and in the 1.1 visual. The poster could be Homura grasping for her old life, and the new Madoka design representing the coming future (which Homura has shackled, as shown by the padlock).
*The official site says that the movie is "the beginning of a new chapter". This probably means this will not be the finale to the series.
*It's possible that [[Homulilly]] transforms into Walpurgisnacht. Devil Homura is the opposite of Ultimate Madoka just as Walpurgisnacht is the opposite of [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]. Additionally, Homulilly's head is cut off just like Walpurgisnacht's head. Furthermore, the gears under Walpurgisnacht's dress could also correlate with Homura's old power of time manipulation.
*The new orange-haired girl seen alongside Kyubey in the trailer could be the bear girl from [[Episode 12]], but also incorporates designs from the pincushion Magical Girl seen in the Concept Movie.
**The bear girl was also seen in the [[Concept Movie]].
*The new magical girls could be the human forms of witches from the original anime.
**The green-haired girl could be the human form of [[Elsa Maria]], as evidenced by the trees and rays of sunlight surrounding her, both elements present in Elsa Maria's labyrinth. The plant motif could also allude to her being [[Gertrud]].
***The Magia Exedra 100-Day Trailer shows her riding on [[Bona]]s, which can be suggested that she could be the human form of [[Paola]]. However, she could also be simply having the ability to control Familiars.
**The orange-haired girl could be the human form of [[Albertine]], as her being depicted in a ball pit with Nagisa implies she may be similar in age, or is at least childish. Bright colors, like the balls she's surrounded by, are also a key feature of [[Elly]]'s labyrinth.
***The Magia Exedra 100-Day Trailer and poster shows her Magical Girl outfit having pins and needles, and occasionally hugs Kyubey, which can be suggested that she could be the human form of [[Quitterie]] or the [[Madoka_Magica_Mobage_Witches#Witch_of_Sewing|Witch of Sewing]].
**It's also possible the new girls are part of [[Walpurgisnacht]] herself.
*The new girl in the SIDE Homura trailer may have abilities allowing her to duplicate herself, shown by multiple versions of her looking at Madoka's phone.
**The new girl was also seen in the Concept Movie.
*The green-haired girl and the orange-haired girl have a black undershirt for their school uniforms, a trait they share with the new Homura-copy. It's possible they are the retainers for Devil Homura like Sayaka and Nagisa are for Ultimate Madoka.

*The scene where a book depicting Witches and Familiars, when taking a closer look, contains Witches from Magia Record such as [[Zenobia]], indicating these Witches DO exist within the Madoka Magica timelines.
**Existing witches such as [[Gisela]] and [[Albertine]] use their updated appearance from Magia Record.
***This isn't the case in [[:File:Trailer (July 15th, 2025) (15).PNG|this screenshot]], where [[Roberta]] and the previously shown [[Gisela]] use their original appearances.
**Witches from the Magia Record Event [[Magia Record Story Alina's Atelier ~Factor of Despair~|Alina's Atelier ~Factor of Despair~]] also appear.
***[[Pennen Nolde]], the Witch form of [[Touka Satomi]], can be barely seen to the right of [[:File:Walpurgisnacht Rising Trailer 2 Runes (17).png|this screenshot]], even though {{spoiler|in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record|Ultimate Madoka]]'s Magical Girl Story, Touka did not become a Magical Girl outside of the Magia Record timeline and thus the Witch was only born as a Doppel.}}
** It's possible that the book was made by the Law of Cycles, with Witches being collected from multiple universes every time the Law of Cycles would take a Magical Girl in. ''(This was added 2026/07/03)''

*Following the release of the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_the_Movie_-Walpurgisnacht:_Rising-#Main_Trailer_(June_29th,_2026)|Main Trailer]], some fans speculate that the "Mystery Girl" seen wearing what appear to be Homura's glasses to be an [[Irregularity|irregular]] [[Incubator]].
**Others speculate that the girl herself is nothing more than a Clara Doll, given the existence of "red strings" that seem to move with her in the latest trailers.

* The reason Mami, Kyoko, Sayaka and Nagisa and maybe Homura have different Magical Girl forms is because their powers have been stolen by Wraiths/the Mystery Girl. Looking at Mamis new outfit she's lost her ribbons and Sayaka is covered in bandages (though parts similar to Oktavia are visible there, bandages imply someone being hurt, so her enhance healing power AND her base Magical Girl healing being gone were replaced by Oktavia manifesting). Kyoko had her power blocked as seen in Different Story, so this could have removed the block as her outfit looks more royal, fitting for an illusionist.
** The mystery girl bears a striking resemblance to Homura and has her bow, meaning that she's a Mutated Wraith, similar to Wraith Arc, or that she's a creation of Homura. The red string connected to her clearly implies a lack of agency on her part. On the other hand, her first appearance had her be engulfed by red fabric, similar to Mami when she bound Homura in the original series and Rebellion. However, she also grabbed the ribbons, implying some level of control as well. It is possible this is when she stole Mami's power. Her shirt is also very similar to Mami's original shirt as well, not to mention the corset. We know from Wraith Arc that the bow is also connected to the emotion of Homura's love for Madoka, so it being lost could play in different ways depending on whether Homura is in control of the other end of the red string or not. Mutated Wraiths have ben shown to turn against normal Wraiths depending on the cause of the mutation.
** Lilac and Selema entering the story could happen at the same time as Homura getting her power stolen. It is possible that the Wraiths were either able to steal Devil Homura's emotions themselves, letting the girls from the Law of Cycles enter Homura's world, or the Wraiths were empowered by the Law of Cycles directly. The silhouettes of eyes appear near them, the same as the faceless girls seen behind Madoka who are almost certainly from the Law of Cycles.
** (This was added 2026/07/03)
* Nakuzasokotsune and Walpurgisnacht were originally the "afterlife" for Magical Girls. Concept Art and the original print of the manga, clowns around Walpurgisnacht also shaped like Sayaka, Kyoko and Mami. The latest Walpurgisnacht: Rising trailer showed a nun, possibly Saint Walpurga herself, who made a wish similar to Madoka's to grant Salvation to Magical Girls. Whether the Nakuzasokotsune was formed then, naturally formed before that, or simply fused to Walpurgisnacht after her wish, or after she became a Witch, the result was the same in that she became the afterlife after that, also absorbing more Witches as it went on. In an Interview, it was revealed that Walpurgisnacht was originally the Theatre Witch, before it collected more Witches around it and grew bigger.

==Maaya Sakamoto==
{{Theory|status=unknown|date_proposed=2026-07-20
|It was proposed that the voice actress heard at the end of the main trailer is none other than Maaya Sakamoto.

* This is due to a combination of factors, several of which happen to align.
* In an interview, seiyuu for Sakura Kyoko mentioned that they had completed recording sessions with a "legendary" seiyuu.<ref>https://x.com/accelerator0103/status/2002676824690794500</ref> Following the release of the seiyuu for [[Selma Therese]] and Chouka, fans noted that while respectable, neither garnered the label of "legendary".
* Some fans in hearing those last lines at the end of the main trailer "Oh, how precious." (in JP) heard this as Maaya Sakamoto's voice independent of theories.
* She has been in the industry for quite some time, and is incredibly well known for not only her voicework but also her singing.
* She has prior production work with [[SHAFT]], including for [[wikipedia:Bakemonogatari|Bakemonogatari]].
* Maaya Sakamoto also has prior with with [[Gekidan Inu Curry]], including works that predate the Madoka project.<ref>https://www.productionig.com/contents/works_sp/54_/s08_/000715.html</ref>
** One of these collaborations include the following quote:
** "Lighthouse" is one of the key themes for Maaya Sakamoto when she writes lyrics."<ref>https://www.productionig.com/contents/works_sp/54_/s08_/000715.html</ref>
** This would further explain why the Union Phone from [[Magia Exedra]] appears in the Main Trailer; as the normal location of the Union Phone is in the [[Lighthouse Theatre]].

*The [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_the_Movie_-Walpurgisnacht:_Rising-#Trailer_1_(September_10th,_2023)|1st Trailer]] shows a girl jumping into an area with "Wraith" written in a stylized font in Japanese, English and German, the font has never been seen before. Magia Exedra's font file used for enemy names, first found during the first few days after the game's release (March/April 2025), containing Witch Runes and other magical text, happens to include the Japanese rendition of the word "Wraith" from that trailer, though as of August 14th, 2026, has never been visibly used in the game. It's unclear what the relevance of this rendition of the word Wraith is to either the game or the movie.

*The girl with the bow is shown jumping off a tower and getting absorbed by a cloud witch-like being; while this could be her jumping to a witch's barrier it's very similar to the [[Uwasa of the Anonymous AI|Rumor of "Anonymous"]] from [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]].
**Apart from the obvious jumping off a tower connection, many other things like the [[:File:MadokaJump.png|green digital boxes]] that appear when she jumps, the [[:File:WitchCloud.jpg|japanese characters]] that appear when she's absorbed or the [[:File:WalpurgisRisingCloud2.gif|digital-like background]] when she's falling all seem to point to the Uwasa of the Anonymous AI.

<blockquote>''"I just pretend to be cool. When I'm scared of hurt there's no one I can talk to, all I can do is cry on my own. It's not fun being a Magical Girl."''<br>— Mami, [[Madoka Magica Episode 3: I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore|Madoka Magica Episode 3]].</blockquote>

{{nihongo|'''Mami Tomoe'''|巴マミ|Tomoe Mami}} is one of the main characters from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]].

Mami is a veteran [[Magical Girl]] who rescues [[Madoka]] and [[Sayaka]] from a [[Gertrud|Witch]].<ref name='madomagi1'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something]]</ref> She acts as a mentor to the pair should they choose to become Magical Girls.<ref name='madomagi2'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 2: That Would Be Truly Wonderful]]</ref> Eager to acquire new friends, she demonstrates the glory and thrill of magical heroism, but also shows Madoka and Sayaka the terrible danger inherent in going into a Witch's domain.<ref name='madomagi2'/>

==Appearance==
Mami is a fair-skinned girl with a slender yet curvy figure. She has long blonde wavy hair, styled into two twin drills. Her bangs are swept to the side. She has yellow eyes. Her twin tails are held by two golden, flower shaped hair clips.

===Magical Girl===
{{stub}}

==Personality and Traits==
[[File:Mami tea party cakes.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Mami loves her tea parties, just as much as she loves the company]]
Mami first appears as an older, more experienced girl, and is one of the first Magical Girls introduced in the series.<ref name='madomagi1'/> She is shown to have feminine tastes, such as drinking tea and dressing with flower clips in her hair and bows on her shoes.<ref name='madomagi2'/> Mami enjoys hosting tea parties and has been shown to be a rather good cook, especially when it comes to desserts.<ref name='madomagi2'/> She lives alone in an apartment after her parents died in a car accident.<ref name='madomagi2'/><ref name='madomagi3'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 3: I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore]]</ref>

She has a strong sense of personal justice, which keeps her on the path of helping innocents despite gaining little reward for it.<ref name='madomagi3'/> This sense of justice also makes it difficult for her to team up with other Magical Girls for more than short periods, as many will only fight Witches for the chance of finding a Grief Seed or in self-defense, and many others are against teaming up with their "competition" in hunting Witches.<ref name='madomagi2'/> These circumstances compound with her lonely nature as an orphan who has trouble making friends at school due to her having little time for much outside of Witch hunting, which has turned Mami into a very isolated person looking for friends.<ref name='madomagi3'/> While she appears to be mentally strong, Mami is emotionally much frailer than she seems to be.<ref name='madomagi3'/> Mami admits it openly to Madoka, and in the manga rendition of said scene she said that she cries a lot when on her own, declaring that she is not a good role model for anyone before Madoka tells her she's not alone.<ref name='madomagi3'/>

She has been shown to take the harsh truths of the Magical Girl system quite badly depending on the circumstances, and at times has proven to be unstable and dangerous when confronted with them, such as trying to kill her friends in fear of all of them becoming Witches<ref name='madomagi10'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore]]</ref> or just killing herself<ref name='diffstory9'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 9]]</ref>

Mami always uses honorifics and calls people by their surname with the honorific '-san'. This shows her age and emotional distance to the other girls, who are younger than her and closer in age to each another.

==Powers and Abilities==
Mami is a veteran and is the most experienced Magical Girl in Madoka Magica, with Kyubey claiming in that that was the reason why she could afford to battle Familiars even though they don't drop Grief Seeds.<ref name='madomagi4'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 4: Miracles and Magic Are Real]]</ref> Mami names her attacks in Italian and announces them when she uses them.<ref name='madomagi1'/>

[[File:Mami wrap Homura in ribbon.gif|thumb|left|Mami trapping Homura with her ribbons]]
Mami gained magical ribbons as her ability from making her wish.<ref name='madomagi2'/> The ribbons themselves can be summoned seemingly on command from nowhere or from Mami's clothing when she is transformed.<ref name='madomagi2'/> These ribbons can be utilised in a number of different ways however. Firstly, the ribbons can be used to cut through enemies as they have proven to be very durable.<ref name='DS8'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 8]]</ref> The ribbons can also be used to bind enemies and hold them in place as shown by Mami using them to restrain Homura.<ref name='madomagi3'/> The ribbons appear to also be able to be formed into different configurations and platforms which allow Mami to catch people or help them traverse to new areas.<ref name='madomagi2'/><ref name='madomagi10'/> Her ribbons can also be formed into defensive barriers or shields which can protect herself or allies from oncoming attacks.<ref name='DS5'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 5]] </ref> One notable use of the ribbons is that it allowed Mami to be immune to Homura's time magic because it allowed her to maintain physical contact with Homura from a distance.<ref name='rebellion'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]]</ref> Another creative use was when Mami used her ribbons to create a duplicate of herself, the duplicate was so life-like that it fooled Homura throughout the entire fight until she shot it.<ref name='rebellion'/>

[[File:Tiro finale.gif|thumb|Tiro Finale]]
Mami has shown herself to be able to create old fashioned muskets and ammunition from her ribbons, these muskets however can only fire one magical bullet before she has to summon another one.<ref name='madomagi2'/> The muskets themselves however can be used as a makeshift melee weapon up close.<ref name='madomagi3'/> The muskets have been shown to be summoned in very large amounts which can create showers of bullets upon enemies that decimates them instantly.<ref name='madomagi1'/> These projectiles can be normal or explosive bullets.<ref name='orimagi4'>Shown in [[Oriko Magica Chapter 4: I Do Not Forgive You]]</ref> Her special skill with the muskets however is the ability to transform them into large cannons that shoot very powerful projectiles from them. Her finisher 'Tiro Finale' ('Final Shot') is capable of instantly finishing off her enemy.<ref name='madomagi2'/> Though it seems the canons can vary depending on what use Mami intends for them to have at the time. The ammunition however that is expended can also summon ribbons from it which have the same abilities as her naturally summoned ribbons.<ref name='madomagi2'/>

In the [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]] universe, when her Soul Gem turns black Mami is able to summon her [[Doppel]], [[Candeloro]].<ref name='magireco'>Shown in [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]</ref> Despite its small size, Candeloro is able to extend its ribbon arms to crush enemies with or block attacks from coming too close to Mami.<ref name='magireco'/>

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Madoka Magica]]===
At the end of [[Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something|Episode 1]], Mami meets [[Madoka]] and [[Sayaka]] in the barrier of the Witch [[Gertrud]]. She saves them from the Familiars, chasing off the Witch for the time being. [[Homura]] appears, and Mami advises her to chase after the Witch to prevent an immediate conflict. Mami then introduces Madoka and Sayaka to [[Kyubey]] and invites them over to [[Mami's Residence|her apartment]]. She explains the basics of the Magical Girl system, offering to bring them on her Witch hunts to learn and experience the life of a Magical Girl. Acting as their mentor, she advises them to choose their wishes carefully. Mami searches for and defeats Gertrud upon their next encounter, saving the life of a woman committing suicide. She offers to share Gertrud's Grief Seed with Homura, but is rebuffed. Suspicious of Homura's motives in preventing Madoka from contracting, attempts to resolve differences with Homura fail.

[[File:Mami in accident.gif|thumb|left|Mami making her wish]]
She hunts down [[Ulla]], shooting her with her Tiro Finale attack and easily killing her. When Madoka asks why it didn't drop a Grief Seed, Kyubey explains that it wasn't a Witch, but just a Familiar. Mami believes that it doesn't matter what she gets from it, as long as she destroys danger she is doing her job. They walk through Mitakihara, talking about wishes again, Madoka asks about what Mami wished for. Mami pauses, which immediately makes Madoka apologize, but Mami starts explaining her wish. A flashback is shown, where in a car crash, Mami is laying still alive. Kyubey shows up and she reaches her hand to him, making a wish to survive. She didn't have a choice like Sayaka and Madoka do, so she wants to make sure they take their time with deciding what to wish for.

After she walks Sayaka and Madoka to their homes, she goes to a fountain, seemingly searching for Witches, but she is approached by Homura. Homura accuses her of leading Sayaka and Madoka into danger, but Mami argues that Kyubey chose them, so there's no ignoring that now. Homura points out that Madoka is the main reason she's so against this, prompting Mami to talk about her massive potential she notices, believing that Homura is just scared of someone stronger. Homura decides that she has no choice but to fight her, and Mami agrees, saying she should amke sure they never meet again, and promising to fight her next time they meet. Mami walks away.

[[File:Poor Mami.gif|thumb|Mami's death]]
When entering [[Charlotte]]'s labyrinth, Mami and Madoka are confronted by Homura, who volunteers to take down Charlotte. Mami, still suspicious of Homura, ignores her warning that Charlotte is different from most witches and ties her up with her ribbons. After Madoka agrees to contract, Mami was overwhelmed by the realization that she would be no longer be fighting alone, she starts crying and gets distracted. When they reach the Witch, she is careless and reckless, and is killed, with Charlotte biting off her head and destroying her Soul Gem.

As revealed in [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore|Episode 10]], Homura is a time traveler, and her timelines have different versions of Mami.

In the timeline before Homura becomes a Magical Girl, Mami with Madoka save her from [[Izabel]], quickly killing the Witch. After that fight they meet at Mami's apartment, where they explain the system to Homura. Mami mentions that she wants to train Madoka, so that she will be ready for when [[Walpurgisnacht]] appears in Mitakihara. When Walpurgisnacht arrives, Mami is shown dead, leaving Madoka to fight alone and lose.

In the second timeline, Homura very quickly makes it known to Madoka that she is a Magical Girl too now, making her join Madoka and Mami. Mami is seen helping Homura train her fighting. When the girls fight the Witch [[Patricia]], Mami creates a path with her ribbons for Homura, which she uses to throw a bomb into the Witch, killing her, Mami creates a small platform with her ribbons to catch her.

[[File:Mami get crazy.gif|thumb|left]]
In the third timeline, Homura tries to tell Mami, Madoka and Sayaka the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches, but Sayaka argues and doesn't believe her. Sayaka doesn't like Homura using bombs, which Mami agrees with. After Sayaka becomes a Witch, and is killed by Homura, Mami, Kyoko, Madoka and Homura are left in shock. Learning the awful truth about Magical Girls after fighting Oktavia makes Mami 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, destroys Mami's Soul Gem with a beam arrow, killing her to stop her rampage.

After Madoka [[Ultimate Madoka|rewrites the universe]], Mami lives again, never meeting Madoka. She appears only once, in a station with Kyoko and Homura after Sayaka dissapears, she explains to Kyoko that Sayaka was taken by the [[Law of Cycles]], which they will be taken by one day too.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc|Wraith Arc]]===
[[File:Wa mami.png|thumb|Mami in ''Wraith Arc'']]
Mami makes her first appearance in chapter 1 alongside Kyoko as they hunt down [[Wraith]]s in the city, with Kyoko complaining about letting a large 'trophy' Wraith get away from them earlier. After Sayaka encounters and is unsuccessful in capturing the giant Wraith, Mami lectures her on not fighting alone as Kyoko taunts and teases her until the two girls end up in a small scuffle, in which Kyoko is victorious. Mami watches and while somewhat concerned about how well Sayaka and Kyoko get along, she decides to brush aside her worries. The next day at school, Mami telepathically communicates with Sayaka to check on her as well as to try to smooth things over between her and Kyoko. After more battles in the following days, Kyoko is seen coming to Sayaka's rescue against several Wraiths. Sayaka has been distracted lately and it's effecting them in battle. Afterwards, Mami offers some Grief Cubes to Sayaka who declines them despite having been in the battle with them. Kyoko is angry and yells at Sayaka for being distracted lately, however Sayaka reassures Mami she'll do better in the future. Mami warns Sayaka about the nature of Wraiths and heads for home.

Some time later, Mami and Kyoko await at the station at the appointed time. Sayaka is late and as they wait, Mami asks Kyoko about the state of Sayaka's Soul Gem. Kyoko is surprised that Mami is aware of the second battle they had and Mami lectures Kyoko on being a bully. They discuss the state of Sayaka with Mami expressing concern over how quickly her Soul Gem became polluted. She tosses some Grief Cubes at Kyoko and tells her to give them to Sayaka and to apologize to her. As soon as Kyoko leaves, Mami is ambush by a number of Wraiths. As the fight escalates, Kyoko and Sayaka appear at her side to help her. Mami comes up with a plan where her and Kyoko distract the Wraiths while Sayaka closes in on the giant Wraith. But the plan fails and Sayaka is captured by the Wraiths instead. Mami and Kyoko yell encouraging words to Sayaka who manages to escape, but not before using up her magic and being led away by the Law of Cycles.

The following day, Mami and Kyoko meet up with Homura on the school's roof, Kyoko having borrowed a school uniform to better blend in. They tell Homura about the giant Wraith that has been seen lately and agree not to hunt it on their own. After several days of combing the city for the giant Wraith and hunting down other more common Wraiths, Homura encounters the giant Wraith alone and attempts to defeat it herself. Mami and Kyoko run into the aftermath of the fight where they find Homura laying unconscious on the streets.

Homura wakes up in Mami's apartment, with Mami bringing her a tray of tea and many lecturing words. She asks Homura to transform into a Magical Girl, which she does successfully, and then to summon her weapon, which she cannot. Mami concludes that the Wraiths stole a portion of Homura's power but has no idea on how to retrieve it. Homura is impatient to go and retrieve her powers, but Mami cautions her to play it safe and leave everything up to her and Kyoko. Homura alters her memories slightly before thanking Mami and leaving. The next day, as Mami is coming home from school, she senses the miasma of Wraiths before opening her apartment door and seeing her parents. That night, Mami meets with Kyoko at the station and asks her what she would do were she to meet with her dead family again. Kyoko has no answer for her and Mami leaves.

As Mami walks through the park at night, Mami is talking to her parents and telling them of the hardships she went through when they died. She transforms into a Magical Girl and destroys the Mutant Wraiths that had transformed into her parents. In another part of the park, Mami fires at another mutant wraith that had taken on the form of Kyoko just as it was about to attack Homura. Mami summons several muskets and together her and Homura are able to hold off the Wraith but not for long. After a voice gives Homura advice, the two Magical Girls are able to overcome the Wraiths' time-stopping ability and seemingly defeat the Wraith-Kyoko with her Tiro Finale. After, the real Kyoko appears and informs them of the fake Sayaka and they agree on rules in order to limit their ability to be taken by surprise by the mutant wraiths.

After several weeks of searching for the giant Wraith, the girls decide to begin their search from the beginning. Mami is upset to find that Homura had been searching for the giant Wraith alone and worries that something may happen to her. Homura snaps at both Mami and Kyoko before taking off. Later, Mami and Kyoko run into Homura who has been searching alongside a Mutant Wraith in the form of Madoka. However, to Mami and Kyoko she looks nothing like Madoka and only has the form of a Mutant Wraith wrapped around Homura. They transform and prepare to rescue Homura, but Homura instead begs the wraith to save her from being a Magical Girl. The Wraith takes Homura's soul gem and teleports them from the area, leaving Mami and Kyoko behind.

[[File:Mami wraith form.png|thumb|left|Wraith Mami]]
Some time later, Mami and Kyoko sit in the park at night as they discuss Homura's recent disappearance and lack of clues leading to the giant Wraith. Kyoko comes up with the idea of reminding Homura what her wish was in order to bring her back to normal. As they talk, a parade of Wraiths swarm around them, however the Wraiths take no notice of the two girls. Mami and Kyoko transform and follow after the Wraiths, coming across a city full of dead people. They're suddenly ambushed by Wraith-Sayaka. Kyoko stays behind to fight her off and allow Mami to continue chasing after the other wraiths. However, Mami herself is soon ambushed by Wraith-Kyoko and another mutant wraith taking on Mami's form. Mami tries her best against the two wraiths but is soon overwhelmed. Before Wraith-Mami can unleash her own Tiro Finale on Mami, the Wraith-Madoka jumps into the battle and protects Mami, now looking more in appearance as Madoka to Mami thanks to the ribbon she took from Homura. Together the Wraith and Mami are able to work together to take down the two imposters.

By this time the giant Wraith has been consumed by the power it took from Homura and transforms into a Witch-like creature, [[Kriemhild Fausut]], complete with Familiars. As the Familiars began to overrun the city, one of the Witch's large braids swings at Mami, nearly killing her. However Kyoko has appeared just in time to pull Mami out of danger. Mami introduces to Kyoko the Wraith-Madoka and Kyoko hands to Mami the last Grief Cubes she has. Before Mami can finish using them, a braid has trapped Kyoko. Wraith-Madoka frees her with an arrow but it is too late: the Witch has taken away her soul completely the moment it touched her. A Familiar appears and looms over Mami, but Mami uses the last of the Grief Cubes and together with Wraith-Madoka destroys several of the Familiars. They turn their efforts towards the Witch but several of its braids fly straight at Mami, killing her.

At the end of the story, after Madoka has reset this universe's timeline so the curses of the previous world don't interfere, Mami is shown alive and well with no memories of the previous timeline.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|Rebellion]]===
Prior to the events of the movie, the Incubators trapped Homura's Soul Gem in an Isolation Field that blocks the Law of Cycles. Homura creates a witch barrier inside her own Soul Gem, which is an idealized version of Mitakihara. Along with Kyoko and other characters, Mami is taken into the barrier and has her memories altered.

[[File:Bebe comforts mami.gif|thumb|Mami with Bebe]]
Within the barrier, Mami is still a student at Mitakihara Middle School and fights with the other magical girls against [[Nightmare]]s, monsters created by the barrier in order to provide the magical girls with opponents. However, Mami is now living with [[Bebe]], a creature that resembles the Witch [[Charlotte]]. Due to her altered memories, Mami believes that Bebe was the first friend she made after becoming a magical girl, and credits Bebe for keeping her from being lonely. While Bebe reciprocates Mami's friendship, in reality she is actually [[Nagisa Momoe]], the Magical Girl who became Charlotte. Nagisa entered the barrier from the Law of Cycles and disguised herself as her Witch form as part of Madoka's plan to stop the Incubators from achieving their goals.

Eventually Homura begins to realize that the false Mitakihara is actually a Witch's barrier. She immediately suspects Bebe, recognizing her as Charlotte. In order to question Bebe, Homura goes to Mami's house with Madoka and has tea with them. After talking with Mami for a little while, Homura contrives to get Mami to leave the room they're in by asking for more tea. However, Mami has become suspicious of Homura and ties her ribbon to Homura's leg, making her immune to Homura's time stops. Homura then stops time and questions Bebe, eventually leaving Mami's apartment to interrogate Bebe further.

[[File:Mami vs homu fight.gif|thumb|left|Mami fighting Homura]]
At this point Mami appears to confront Homura. In fact, it is later revealed that this is actually a ribbon duplicate under Mami's control. The duplicate rescues Bebe and questions Homura. Homura attempts to convince Mami that Bebe is tricking her, but isn't believed. Since the ribbon tied to Homura's leg vanishes when she tries to shoot it, Homura and the duplicate then proceed to have a gun duel with time alternately starting and stopping. Homura is eventually able to shoot a bullet through the ribbon while it is materialized, freezing the duplicate Mami in time. She aims to attack Mami's Soul Gem, but then decides to incapacitate her instead by shooting her leg. As this point the duplicate falls apart into ribbons and entraps Homura. Once again, Mami asks Homura about her motivations. Homura insists that Bebe is a Witch. Mami responds by saying she doesn't know what a Witch is, but begins remembering that the monster she fights are supposed to be Wraiths, not Nightmares. At this point Sayaka rescues Homura by using the smoke from a fire hydrant; when Mami clears the smoke she finds Homura is gone. She then finds that Bebe has transformed back into Nagisa Momoe. Nagisa apologizes for deceiving Mami and explains to her the truth of the situation.

Eventually Homura realizes she is the Witch and transforms into [[Homulilly]]. In the ensuing battle, Mami fights off Homulilly's familiars so that Madoka and Nagisa can break through Homulilly's barrier and expose Kyubey's Isolation Field. When the barrier is broken, Mami sits with Nagisa, petting her head to comfort her.

Back in the real world, Mami places Homura's Soul Gem on her body, and watches as Madoka, Sayaka and Nagisa descend from the sky to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. Just as Madoka is about to touch Homura's Soul Gem, Homura grabs onto her hands and begins altering the universe. Mami is engulfed by the colors that spill out of Homura's Soul Gem and spread out over the universe.

[[File:Dieewige.jpg|thumb|Mami, unaware of Devil Homura]]
Homura, now calling herself a [[Devil Homura|demon]], creates a new world. In this world, Mami is initially seen in her school uniform on the road to Mitakihara Middle School. She holds out her hand to catch falling cherry blossoms. Homura, who is sitting in a chair behind Mami, reaches her hand forward, pushing a tea cup out of the way. Mami turns around and see no-one there, and finds that she's caught a black feather instead of a cherry blossom.

At the end of the movie Mami is shown rescuing Nagisa from falling packages of cheese, indicating that they will become friends again in Homura's new universe.

===In the Drama CDs===
====[[Madoka Magica Drama CD 3: Farewell Story|Drama CD 3: Farewell Story]]====
Some time before the start of the anime, Mami made her wish after she was in a car accident with her parents. She was most likely very badly wounded, as her parents died on the scene, and Mami only survived due to making a wish with [[Kyubey]], who appeared at just that moment, leaving Mami little time to consider her wish. For some time after that, Mami fought to save people from witches by herself.

Approximately a year later, she meets [[Kyoko Sakura]], a girl who had made her wish at about the same time as Mami, but is far less experienced. Mami saves her from a powerful witch that was too much for Kyoko to defeat alone. Kyoko admires Mami's skill and ideals, and she is the first one Mami has met who thought in a similar way as she did. They become a team, fighting witches and saving people together. Mami meets [[Sakura Family|Kyoko's family]], and the two girls become very close.

Some time after they begin working together, Kyoko's father discovers that Kyoko had made her wish to give him followers for his church, which caused him to have a mental breakdown in which he killed himself and everyone in the family, except Kyoko. This event causes Kyoko to change idealistically, and she breaks her alliance with Mami, saying she will fight only for herself from now on. Mami thinks that she can change Kyoko's mind and refuses to let her go off alone, which leads to a clash between them in which they battle using their magic. Kyoko finishes the battle by forcing Mami to give up or seriously hurt her junior, and they separate for good. Mami is alone again except for Kyubey until the anime series starts.

===In [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The innocent malice|Kazumi Magica]]===
[[File:TIirofinalemami kazumi.jpg|thumb|250px|Mami in ''Kazumi Magica'']]
<blockquote>''"It's just tough being a Magical Girl, huh?"''<br>— Mami, [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 11: Dead or Rice|Kazumi Magica Chapter 11]].</blockquote>

Mami made a brief appearance in chapter 11 of Kazumi Magica. She saved [[Michiru Kazusa]] from a Witch's attack's while apparently on vacation in Asunaro city. Mami protects Michiru with her magical ribbons, attacking the witch with her smaller guns and finishing it off with Tiro Finale. The reasons are unknown, but she was with [[Juubey]] instead of Kyubey at the time, and consequently was the reason Juubey met Michiru. Later chapter revealed that Mami was with Kyubey, but the memories of that encounter were modified by Umika.

Mami also makes a brief, [[:File:Kazumami2.png|one-panel cameo]] in chapter 12, showing that her daring rescue inspired Michiru to name all the Pleiades' attacks in Italian.

===In [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica|Oriko Magica]]===
[[File:Oriko charlotte 1.png|thumb|left|250px|Mami avoiding being killed by Charlotte]]
In Oriko Magica, Mami does not die, unlike in the anime. In the third chapter, she fights Charlotte again, this time surviving the battle. She learns of the recent deaths of Magical Girls from Kyubey, who tells her that these deaths were caused by a black Magical Girl, not a Witch. Mami decides to investigate, and she asks Kyoko for information. Kyoko doesn't know much more than Mami, but asks her about a white Magical Girl named [[Oriko]]. Mami doesn't know her, but when she probes for more information, Kyoko rebuffs her. [[Yuma]] believes the blonde is bullying Kyoko, and flips her skirt in retaliation, making Mami cry. Mami later crosses paths with Homura and tries to warn her about murders, but Homura tells her to stay away from "us" (presumably Homura, Madoka and Sayaka). She then meets [[Kirika Kure]], who has lost a precious stuffed toy given to her by someone important. Mami finds the toy and returns it to Kirika, who claims that Mami is her savior and treats her to crepes. Mami accidentally sets Kirika off by saying that she must "be affectionate" towards the person who gave Kirika the doll. A Witch appears, surrounding Kirika. As Mami is contemplating how to kill it without hurting Kirika, the girl destroys the Witch herself. Kirika, who turns out to be the black Magical Girl, attacks Mami to prove her devotion to her love.

Chapters 4 details the fight between the two further, with Mami coming out the victor.

In chapters 5 to 7, Oriko and Kirika set familiars in [[Mitakihara Middle School]]. Mami tried to stop them to save students but got into their trap. Fortunately Kyoko and Yuma saved her. The three then fight against Kirika. The fact that a Magical Girl will become a Witch made her despair, but Yuma's words unite them again and they finally defeat Kirika's [[Latria|Witch form]].

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica ～The different story～|The Different Story]]===
[[File:Dinner at Kyoko's.jpg|thumb|left|Mami having dinner with Kyoko's family]]
The beginning of The Different Story follows the drama CD [[Drama CD 3|Farewell Story]] rather faithfully until the end of the first volume, where it begins a new timeline. In this timeline, Mami survives her battle with Charlotte thanks to Sayaka, and intervenes in the fight where Kyoko and Sayaka first meet.

Sayaka made a contract just in time to save Mami from being killed by Charlotte, and from then on, the two partner up to battle witches. When Sayaka is distracted during a fight, causing Mami to get hurt, Sayaka begins to lose confidence in herself as a "defender of justice".

Sayaka doesn't think she's worthy of being Mami's partner after ignoring Hitomi and her odd behavior, which she didn't realize at the time was caused because of a Witch's kiss. Mami tries to reason with her, but Sayaka responds that she won't respect Mami anymore if she still wants to partner with Sayaka.

When Mami catches up to Sayaka and saves her from the witch [[Elsa Maria]], admitting to her junior that she is a selfish and lonely girl who can't stand being alone. Mami decides to quit being "a champion of justice" for Sayaka. She wants Sayaka back as her partner, which Sayaka claims makes her happy, just as her Soul Gem explodes and she becomes the Witch [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]]. Mami escapes the barrier, and Kyubey reveals to her that it's the fault of Kyoko, Homura and Mami herself that Sayaka became a Witch.

When Mami learns the truth of the Magical Girl system, she spends a while thinking on her past interactions with other magical girls. Reference is made to her encounter with [[Michiru Kazusa]] from [[Kazumi Magica]], the new magical girls from the fist volume, and Kyoko's past with Mami in this flashback. Mami is so badly shaken that she decides to die with Oktavia. When Kyoko comes to stop her, she fights Kyoko without reserving her magic. It seems that she ties up Kyoko and kills her.

[[File:Madokatdsc 078.png|250px|thumb|Candeloro tempting Mami]]
When Mami opens Oktavia's barrier, her magic is exhausted and she is knocked to the ground. Her Soul Gem is rapidly darkening and she has little strength left. Mami flashbacks again to her past with Kyoko, which morphs into a hallucination where a younger version of herself (implied to be her Witch, [[Candeloro]]) comes to her with visions of a witch's barrier and familiars that look like Kyoko and Sayaka. She thinks, "If I become a witch, I'll be able to make everyone stay by me always."

When Mami wakes up from this dream, Kyoko appears, showing that the Kyoko that was killed by Mami was just an illusion created with magic. Mami requests Kyoko to kill her since she is about to become a Witch. Kyoko confesses to her that she thinks of Mami as her sister. Mami sees Kyoko using a Grief Seed to cleanse her Soul Gem before leaving to fight Oktavia. Kyoko leaves her black hair ribbon in Mami's hands.

[[File:PistolMamiDifferentstory1.png|thumb|left]]
Mami next wakes up in her apartment, where she is greeted with a hug by Madoka and sees Homura. Homura was the one to find Mami on the street and took her home. Madoka leaves, and Homura and Mami talk about what happened. Kyubey comes to tell them that Kyoko is dead. He also admits that it is beneficial to him if both Mami and Kyoko become witches. Hearing that, Mami summons a pistol from her Soul Gem, pointing it at Kyubey, ready to shoot him. But Kyubey depresses her, making her stop. Homura then slaps her, saying that she is too easily provoked. Then Homura seeks her help to fight Walpurgisnacht.

Madoka then returns to Mami's apartment and tells her her decision. She wants to bring back Sayaka, and is willing to protect the city for Mami. Mami cries and tells Madoka that she doesn't want to fight any more and Madoka promises Mami she won't have to fight because she'll fight for her.

Walpurgisnacht comes with Madoka, Sayaka and Homura ready to fight her, Madoka thinks about Mami before they face the Witch. It is then shown that Mami shattered her own Soul Gem to kill herself in her apartment but died with a smile and Kyoko's hair ribbon in her hand.

==Trivia==
* Mami's drinking tea from a teacup after her fight with [[Gertrud]] was an original idea added by [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Page_121|Inu Curry.]]
* Mami won the 2011 [[wikipedia:Moe_%28slang%29#Saimoe|Anime Saimoe]].
* In her short appearance in [[Kazumi Magica]], Mami is shown wearing white tights instead of dark brown tights. This matches her original design by [[Ume Aoki]], but not her finalized one from the anime.
** In fact, because Kazumi Magica, Madoka Magica anime and manga were all being written simultaneously (proven in Kazumi Magica settei found in Magia Archive), Kazumi and Madoka manga used the original designs unlike the anime.
* In Rebellion, Mami is seen brushing her hair in her apartment, while humming the first few notes of her character theme music, [[Soundtrack|Credens Justitiam]].
* She is the only character whose first name is written in katakana (contrasting with Madoka, Sayaka and Homura, whose names are written in Hiragana). This could imply that "Mami" has foreign origins, in line with the "Western flavor" Ume Aoki gave to Mami's magical girl outfit.
* She has characteristic [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OjouRinglets Ojou Ringlets] at the sides of her face. According to [[Ume Aoki|Ms. Aoki]]’s [[Megami Magazine 2011-01|design notes]]: "Her twisty, curly hair and floral hairpin make her seem like a big sister", "Mami’s design was definitely centered around her image as a gunner" and "Her boots give her a western flavor which her cap accentuates."
* In Magia Record:
** The name of her Scene 0 unit's Magia, ''Calcolato Finale'', is Italian for "Final Calculation".
*** In her Scene 0 unit's Magia, Mami uses an attack called "Tiro Volley". It went unused/unnamed in the original anime, but is a move used in various video games such as [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Battle Pentagram]] and [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra]].
** The name of her Scene 0 unit's Magia, Prevenuto Sfilata, is Italian for "Prevented Parade".
*** Her Scene 0 unit's second Magia is based on her Tiro Finale train cannon used in the fight against [[Homulilly]] in [[Rebellion]]. Before it appears a sprite of Nagisa shows up in the animation, implying her involvement in the attack.
** She and Mabayu are the only [[Scene 0]] characters where the film in their 4 Star card arts do not mirror any other characters.
* In Magia Exedra:
** She was the first Magical Girl to be added to Magia Exedra after launch with her Kioku ''Tiro Finale''.
[[File:Exedra_Mami_Art.jpg|thumb|Early Spietata Scarica art]]
** In pre-release screenshots, different art was used for Mami's base Kioku, seemingly potraying the 'Tiro Volley' attack from the anime, which instead became her battle skill. This art would later be repurposed for the ''Spietata Scarica'' Kioku, with a few changes to the art.
** Currently, Mami Tomoe has the most Kioku variants of all playable characters in Magia Exedra at 7 unique Kioku.
** Mami Tomoe is the first playable character to have Kioku of all roles.
* Among the main characters of the original anime, Mami has the least appearances, physically appearing in 5 episodes. Them being episode 1, 2, 3, 10 and 12.
** This is contradicted in the Magia Record anime, where she appears in 9 episodes, while the rest of the Holy Quintet members appear in 7-8 episodes.

==Observations==
* Given her status as a senior student and magical girl, both Madoka and Sayaka use a respectful tone when talking to Mami, and the honorific '-san' with her first name (which is attributed to their close but respectful relationship). Both Kyoko and Homura did the same in the past.
* In episode 6, Kyoko implied that Walpurgis Night's approach cannot be predicted. However, in episode 10, Mami from Timeline 1 seems to know that Walpurgis Night is coming.
* [[Episode 10]], the Bonus CD and the Blu-ray edition of [[Episode 2]] radically modify [[Mami's Residence|Mami's apartment]]. Previously, her apartment looked rather desolate, reinforcing the idea that she lives by herself with no one to support her, emphasizing her loneliness. The later revisions fill her room with beautifully decorated objects and very nice furniture (and it's also implied that it is a two-story accommodation with an internal staircase). This may be to reinforce her rich background.
** Mami's apartment appears to be rather large, and is clearly a maisonette in subsequent revisions. Japan, being a very densely populated nation has some of the highest real estate prices in the world. To own and mantain such a large flat in Japan, let alone in a downtown zone of a large city, means the Tomoes must have had quite a bit of money. On the other hand, every person in the anime seems to have large houses.
* It is likely that Mami inherited her family's assets and probably insurance money. The way she dresses and talks, as well as her Ojou Ringlets, indicates that she comes from a wealthy family. The decorations at her place are consistent with that image.
* She feels the most "traditional" of the girls in terms of femininity and being a Magical Girl. She's the only girl in the series (before Rebellion) to call out her attack names, while taking out enemies with style and grace. While at home she cooks and puts a lot of effort into presentation of both her home and herself. This more traditional style might be used because Mami fights as a Magical Girl before Madoka becomes a Magical Girl. Just like Magical Girls of course existed before Madoka Magica.
** From this viewpoint, Mami being killed by Charlotte signifies the death of the traditional view of a Magical Girl within the series. With Madoka leaving her notebook at Mami's home symbolically representing her burying this dream. Only for it to be later returned by Mami in episode 12 as she offers her approval of Madoka's choice.
* Mami Tomoe and Charlotte could be linked to the story [[wikipedia:Hansel and Gretel|“Hansel and Gretel"]]. In most versions of this story, Gretel is portrayed as a girl with blonde hair in two braids or curls, similar to Mami’s. The witch in Hansel and Gretel lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake and candy, similar to Charlotte’s barrier. The witch’s intent is to eat the children, which is also like Charlotte’s behavior.
* One possible explanation with regards to Mami's ribbon powers is that it is related to Mami's original wish and its relation to Buddhist beliefs. One of the ideas in Buddhism is that the life we are living right now is just a temporary phase. Death is not the end, instead it is the time for your soul to begin a new journey. And thus "wanting to live" equates to "have a lot of attachment to this world" under the Buddhist philosophy, rather than "fear of dying". Mami's wish was generated from her strong attachment to life, and her power took the form of a literal interpretation: to be able to tie things together.
* Mami bears some similarities to ''Sailor Moon'':
** She may be named after Hotaru Tomoe (Sailor Saturn).
** Her twin ringlets are notably similar to the iconic twin ponytails of Usagi Tsukino (the titular Sailor Moon).
** Similarly, her ribbon magic and transformation motif may be a reference to the ribon motif in Sailor Moon's own transformation sequence.
** Her relationship with [[Nagisa Momoe]] as of [[Rebellion]] may be a reference to the (literal) mother/daughter relationship between Usagi and her daughter Chibiusa (Sailor Chibi Moon).

==Etymology==
*Her first name is written in katakana, which has no particular meaning. No official kanji of her name exists. When written in kanji, it can be read hundreds of ways. The official [[Licensing in Taiwan|Chinese translation]] uses one of the most commonly and traditionally used kanji (麻美), "beautiful hemp", as the hanzi for her first name.
** She may be named after the titular character of the magical girl anime ''[[wikipedia:Creamy_Mami,_the_Magic_Angel|Creamy Mami, the Magical Angel]]''. The series had a crossover with ''[[wikipedia:Magical_Princess_Minky_Momo|Magical Princess Minky Momo]]'', focusing on a young princess of a world of fairy tales in danger of disappearing because the people of Earth were losing their dreams and hope. Momo is sent to Earth by her parents in an effort to help humanity regain their hope, and for a time is successful. However, she later loses her powers and is soon after killed by an oncoming truck (similar to Mami's parents) and is reborn as a baby to be cared for by her adoptive parents on Earth, where she now has her own hopes and dreams to realize as she grows up.
**Her name itself has been thought to be a play on the word "mommy". Considering her innate role as a motherly figure towards Madoka, it would be logical to call her "Mami". In ''Rebellion'' she has a companion named "[[Bebe]]" - "baby".
*The character for her last name (巴) literally means "comma design," a [[wikipedia:Tomoe|Japanese swirl pattern]].
** She may be named after [[wikipedia:Sailor_Saturn|Hotaru Tomoe]], also known as Sailor Saturn, of the magical girl franchise ''[[wikipedia:Sailor_Moon|Sailor Moon]]''. Fitting with the planet she is associated with and with ''Madoka Magica's'' themes, Sailor Saturn possesses powers of "silence, ruin, nothingness, destruction, death, and rebirth", and is capable of destroying or resetting a universe's existence and evolution.
** She may also be named after [[wikipedia:Tomoe_Gozen|Tomoe Gozen]], a famous onna-bugeisha known for her battle prowess.

===Magical Girl===
{{stub}}

==Personality and Traits==
[[File:Mami tea party cakes.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Mami loves her tea parties, just as much as she loves the company]]
Mami first appears as an older, more experienced girl, and is one of the first Magical Girls introduced in the series.<ref name='madomagi1'/> She is shown to have feminine tastes, such as drinking tea and dressing with flower clips in her hair and bows on her shoes.<ref name='madomagi2'/> Mami enjoys hosting tea parties and has been shown to be a rather good cook, especially when it comes to desserts.<ref name='madomagi2'/> She lives alone in an apartment after her parents died in a car accident.<ref name='madomagi2'/><ref name='madomagi3'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 3: I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore]]</ref>

She has a strong sense of personal justice, which keeps her on the path of helping innocents despite gaining little reward for it.<ref name='madomagi3'/> This sense of justice also makes it difficult for her to team up with other Magical Girls for more than short periods, as many will only fight Witches for the chance of finding a Grief Seed or in self-defense, and many others are against teaming up with their "competition" in hunting Witches.<ref name='madomagi2'/> These circumstances compound with her lonely nature as an orphan who has trouble making friends at school due to her having little time for much outside of Witch hunting, which has turned Mami into a very isolated person looking for friends.<ref name='madomagi3'/> While she appears to be mentally strong, Mami is emotionally much frailer than she seems to be.<ref name='madomagi3'/> Mami admits it openly to Madoka, and in the manga rendition of said scene she said that she cries a lot when on her own, declaring that she is not a good role model for anyone before Madoka tells her she's not alone.<ref name='madomagi3'/>

She has been shown to take the harsh truths of the Magical Girl system quite badly depending on the circumstances, and at times has proven to be unstable and dangerous when confronted with them, such as trying to kill her friends in fear of all of them becoming Witches<ref name='madomagi10'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore]]</ref> or just killing herself<ref name='diffstory9'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 9]]</ref>

Mami always uses honorifics and calls people by their surname with the honorific '-san'. This shows her age and emotional distance to the other girls, who are younger than her and closer in age to each another.

==Powers and Abilities==
Mami is a veteran and is the most experienced Magical Girl in Madoka Magica, with Kyubey claiming in that that was the reason why she could afford to battle Familiars even though they don't drop Grief Seeds.<ref name='madomagi4'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 4: Miracles and Magic Are Real]]</ref> Mami names her attacks in Italian and announces them when she uses them.<ref name='madomagi1'/>

[[File:Mami wrap Homura in ribbon.gif|thumb|left|Mami trapping Homura with her ribbons]]
Mami gained magical ribbons as her ability from making her wish.<ref name='madomagi2'/> The ribbons themselves can be summoned seemingly on command from nowhere or from Mami's clothing when she is transformed.<ref name='madomagi2'/> These ribbons can be utilised in a number of different ways however. Firstly, the ribbons can be used to cut through enemies as they have proven to be very durable.<ref name='DS8'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 8]]</ref> The ribbons can also be used to bind enemies and hold them in place as shown by Mami using them to restrain Homura.<ref name='madomagi3'/> The ribbons appear to also be able to be formed into different configurations and platforms which allow Mami to catch people or help them traverse to new areas.<ref name='madomagi2'/><ref name='madomagi10'/> Her ribbons can also be formed into defensive barriers or shields which can protect herself or allies from oncoming attacks.<ref name='DS5'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 5]] </ref> One notable use of the ribbons is that it allowed Mami to be immune to Homura's time magic because it allowed her to maintain physical contact with Homura from a distance.<ref name='rebellion'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]]</ref> Another creative use was when Mami used her ribbons to create a duplicate of herself, the duplicate was so life-like that it fooled Homura throughout the entire fight until she shot it.<ref name='rebellion'/>

[[File:Tiro finale.gif|thumb|Tiro Finale]]
Mami has shown herself to be able to create old fashioned muskets and ammunition from her ribbons, these muskets however can only fire one magical bullet before she has to summon another one.<ref name='madomagi2'/> The muskets themselves however can be used as a makeshift melee weapon up close.<ref name='madomagi3'/> The muskets have been shown to be summoned in very large amounts which can create showers of bullets upon enemies that decimates them instantly.<ref name='madomagi1'/> These projectiles can be normal or explosive bullets.<ref name='orimagi4'>Shown in [[Oriko Magica Chapter 4: I Do Not Forgive You]]</ref> Her special skill with the muskets however is the ability to transform them into large cannons that shoot very powerful projectiles from them. Her finisher 'Tiro Finale' ('Final Shot') is capable of instantly finishing off her enemy.<ref name='madomagi2'/> Though it seems the canons can vary depending on what use Mami intends for them to have at the time. The ammunition however that is expended can also summon ribbons from it which have the same abilities as her naturally summoned ribbons.<ref name='madomagi2'/>

In the [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]] universe, when her Soul Gem turns black Mami is able to summon her [[Doppel]], [[Candeloro]].<ref name='magireco'>Shown in [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]</ref> Despite its small size, Candeloro is able to extend its ribbon arms to crush enemies with or block attacks from coming too close to Mami.<ref name='magireco'/>

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Madoka Magica]]===
At the end of [[Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something|Episode 1]], Mami meets [[Madoka]] and [[Sayaka]] in the barrier of the Witch [[Gertrud]]. She saves them from the Familiars, chasing off the Witch for the time being. [[Homura]] appears, and Mami advises her to chase after the Witch to prevent an immediate conflict. Mami then introduces Madoka and Sayaka to [[Kyubey]] and invites them over to [[Mami's Residence|her apartment]]. She explains the basics of the Magical Girl system, offering to bring them on her Witch hunts to learn and experience the life of a Magical Girl. Acting as their mentor, she advises them to choose their wishes carefully. Mami searches for and defeats Gertrud upon their next encounter, saving the life of a woman committing suicide. She offers to share Gertrud's Grief Seed with Homura, but is rebuffed. Suspicious of Homura's motives in preventing Madoka from contracting, attempts to resolve differences with Homura fail.

[[File:Mami in accident.gif|thumb|left|Mami making her wish]]
She hunts down [[Ulla]], shooting her with her Tiro Finale attack and easily killing her. When Madoka asks why it didn't drop a Grief Seed, Kyubey explains that it wasn't a Witch, but just a Familiar. Mami believes that it doesn't matter what she gets from it, as long as she destroys danger she is doing her job. They walk through Mitakihara, talking about wishes again, Madoka asks about what Mami wished for. Mami pauses, which immediately makes Madoka apologize, but Mami starts explaining her wish. A flashback is shown, where in a car crash, Mami is laying still alive. Kyubey shows up and she reaches her hand to him, making a wish to survive. She didn't have a choice like Sayaka and Madoka do, so she wants to make sure they take their time with deciding what to wish for.

After she walks Sayaka and Madoka to their homes, she goes to a fountain, seemingly searching for Witches, but she is approached by Homura. Homura accuses her of leading Sayaka and Madoka into danger, but Mami argues that Kyubey chose them, so there's no ignoring that now. Homura points out that Madoka is the main reason she's so against this, prompting Mami to talk about her massive potential she notices, believing that Homura is just scared of someone stronger. Homura decides that she has no choice but to fight her, and Mami agrees, saying she should amke sure they never meet again, and promising to fight her next time they meet. Mami walks away.

[[File:Poor Mami.gif|thumb|Mami's death]]
When entering [[Charlotte]]'s labyrinth, Mami and Madoka are confronted by Homura, who volunteers to take down Charlotte. Mami, still suspicious of Homura, ignores her warning that Charlotte is different from most witches and ties her up with her ribbons. After Madoka agrees to contract, Mami was overwhelmed by the realization that she would be no longer be fighting alone, she starts crying and gets distracted. When they reach the Witch, she is careless and reckless, and is killed, with Charlotte biting off her head and destroying her Soul Gem.

As revealed in [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore|Episode 10]], Homura is a time traveler, and her timelines have different versions of Mami.

In the timeline before Homura becomes a Magical Girl, Mami with Madoka save her from [[Izabel]], quickly killing the Witch. After that fight they meet at Mami's apartment, where they explain the system to Homura. Mami mentions that she wants to train Madoka, so that she will be ready for when [[Walpurgisnacht]] appears in Mitakihara. When Walpurgisnacht arrives, Mami is shown dead, leaving Madoka to fight alone and lose.

In the second timeline, Homura very quickly makes it known to Madoka that she is a Magical Girl too now, making her join Madoka and Mami. Mami is seen helping Homura train her fighting. When the girls fight the Witch [[Patricia]], Mami creates a path with her ribbons for Homura, which she uses to throw a bomb into the Witch, killing her, Mami creates a small platform with her ribbons to catch her.

[[File:Mami get crazy.gif|thumb|left]]
In the third timeline, Homura tries to tell Mami, Madoka and Sayaka the truth about Magical Girls becoming Witches, but Sayaka argues and doesn't believe her. Sayaka doesn't like Homura using bombs, which Mami agrees with. After Sayaka becomes a Witch, and is killed by Homura, Mami, Kyoko, Madoka and Homura are left in shock. Learning the awful truth about Magical Girls after fighting Oktavia makes Mami 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, destroys Mami's Soul Gem with a beam arrow, killing her to stop her rampage.

After Madoka [[Ultimate Madoka|rewrites the universe]], Mami lives again, never meeting Madoka. She appears only once, in a station with Kyoko and Homura after Sayaka dissapears, she explains to Kyoko that Sayaka was taken by the [[Law of Cycles]], which they will be taken by one day too.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc|Wraith Arc]]===
[[File:Wa mami.png|thumb|Mami in ''Wraith Arc'']]
Mami makes her first appearance in chapter 1 alongside Kyoko as they hunt down [[Wraith]]s in the city, with Kyoko complaining about letting a large 'trophy' Wraith get away from them earlier. After Sayaka encounters and is unsuccessful in capturing the giant Wraith, Mami lectures her on not fighting alone as Kyoko taunts and teases her until the two girls end up in a small scuffle, in which Kyoko is victorious. Mami watches and while somewhat concerned about how well Sayaka and Kyoko get along, she decides to brush aside her worries. The next day at school, Mami telepathically communicates with Sayaka to check on her as well as to try to smooth things over between her and Kyoko. After more battles in the following days, Kyoko is seen coming to Sayaka's rescue against several Wraiths. Sayaka has been distracted lately and it's effecting them in battle. Afterwards, Mami offers some Grief Cubes to Sayaka who declines them despite having been in the battle with them. Kyoko is angry and yells at Sayaka for being distracted lately, however Sayaka reassures Mami she'll do better in the future. Mami warns Sayaka about the nature of Wraiths and heads for home.

Some time later, Mami and Kyoko await at the station at the appointed time. Sayaka is late and as they wait, Mami asks Kyoko about the state of Sayaka's Soul Gem. Kyoko is surprised that Mami is aware of the second battle they had and Mami lectures Kyoko on being a bully. They discuss the state of Sayaka with Mami expressing concern over how quickly her Soul Gem became polluted. She tosses some Grief Cubes at Kyoko and tells her to give them to Sayaka and to apologize to her. As soon as Kyoko leaves, Mami is ambush by a number of Wraiths. As the fight escalates, Kyoko and Sayaka appear at her side to help her. Mami comes up with a plan where her and Kyoko distract the Wraiths while Sayaka closes in on the giant Wraith. But the plan fails and Sayaka is captured by the Wraiths instead. Mami and Kyoko yell encouraging words to Sayaka who manages to escape, but not before using up her magic and being led away by the Law of Cycles.

The following day, Mami and Kyoko meet up with Homura on the school's roof, Kyoko having borrowed a school uniform to better blend in. They tell Homura about the giant Wraith that has been seen lately and agree not to hunt it on their own. After several days of combing the city for the giant Wraith and hunting down other more common Wraiths, Homura encounters the giant Wraith alone and attempts to defeat it herself. Mami and Kyoko run into the aftermath of the fight where they find Homura laying unconscious on the streets.

Homura wakes up in Mami's apartment, with Mami bringing her a tray of tea and many lecturing words. She asks Homura to transform into a Magical Girl, which she does successfully, and then to summon her weapon, which she cannot. Mami concludes that the Wraiths stole a portion of Homura's power but has no idea on how to retrieve it. Homura is impatient to go and retrieve her powers, but Mami cautions her to play it safe and leave everything up to her and Kyoko. Homura alters her memories slightly before thanking Mami and leaving. The next day, as Mami is coming home from school, she senses the miasma of Wraiths before opening her apartment door and seeing her parents. That night, Mami meets with Kyoko at the station and asks her what she would do were she to meet with her dead family again. Kyoko has no answer for her and Mami leaves.

As Mami walks through the park at night, Mami is talking to her parents and telling them of the hardships she went through when they died. She transforms into a Magical Girl and destroys the Mutant Wraiths that had transformed into her parents. In another part of the park, Mami fires at another mutant wraith that had taken on the form of Kyoko just as it was about to attack Homura. Mami summons several muskets and together her and Homura are able to hold off the Wraith but not for long. After a voice gives Homura advice, the two Magical Girls are able to overcome the Wraiths' time-stopping ability and seemingly defeat the Wraith-Kyoko with her Tiro Finale. After, the real Kyoko appears and informs them of the fake Sayaka and they agree on rules in order to limit their ability to be taken by surprise by the mutant wraiths.

After several weeks of searching for the giant Wraith, the girls decide to begin their search from the beginning. Mami is upset to find that Homura had been searching for the giant Wraith alone and worries that something may happen to her. Homura snaps at both Mami and Kyoko before taking off. Later, Mami and Kyoko run into Homura who has been searching alongside a Mutant Wraith in the form of Madoka. However, to Mami and Kyoko she looks nothing like Madoka and only has the form of a Mutant Wraith wrapped around Homura. They transform and prepare to rescue Homura, but Homura instead begs the wraith to save her from being a Magical Girl. The Wraith takes Homura's soul gem and teleports them from the area, leaving Mami and Kyoko behind.

[[File:Mami wraith form.png|thumb|left|Wraith Mami]]
Some time later, Mami and Kyoko sit in the park at night as they discuss Homura's recent disappearance and lack of clues leading to the giant Wraith. Kyoko comes up with the idea of reminding Homura what her wish was in order to bring her back to normal. As they talk, a parade of Wraiths swarm around them, however the Wraiths take no notice of the two girls. Mami and Kyoko transform and follow after the Wraiths, coming across a city full of dead people. They're suddenly ambushed by Wraith-Sayaka. Kyoko stays behind to fight her off and allow Mami to continue chasing after the other wraiths. However, Mami herself is soon ambushed by Wraith-Kyoko and another mutant wraith taking on Mami's form. Mami tries her best against the two wraiths but is soon overwhelmed. Before Wraith-Mami can unleash her own Tiro Finale on Mami, the Wraith-Madoka jumps into the battle and protects Mami, now looking more in appearance as Madoka to Mami thanks to the ribbon she took from Homura. Together the Wraith and Mami are able to work together to take down the two imposters.

By this time the giant Wraith has been consumed by the power it took from Homura and transforms into a Witch-like creature, [[Kriemhild Fausut]], complete with Familiars. As the Familiars began to overrun the city, one of the Witch's large braids swings at Mami, nearly killing her. However Kyoko has appeared just in time to pull Mami out of danger. Mami introduces to Kyoko the Wraith-Madoka and Kyoko hands to Mami the last Grief Cubes she has. Before Mami can finish using them, a braid has trapped Kyoko. Wraith-Madoka frees her with an arrow but it is too late: the Witch has taken away her soul completely the moment it touched her. A Familiar appears and looms over Mami, but Mami uses the last of the Grief Cubes and together with Wraith-Madoka destroys several of the Familiars. They turn their efforts towards the Witch but several of its braids fly straight at Mami, killing her.

At the end of the story, after Madoka has reset this universe's timeline so the curses of the previous world don't interfere, Mami is shown alive and well with no memories of the previous timeline.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|Rebellion]]===
Prior to the events of the movie, the Incubators trapped Homura's Soul Gem in an Isolation Field that blocks the Law of Cycles. Homura creates a witch barrier inside her own Soul Gem, which is an idealized version of Mitakihara. Along with Kyoko and other characters, Mami is taken into the barrier and has her memories altered.

[[File:Bebe comforts mami.gif|thumb|Mami with Bebe]]
Within the barrier, Mami is still a student at Mitakihara Middle School and fights with the other magical girls against [[Nightmare]]s, monsters created by the barrier in order to provide the magical girls with opponents. However, Mami is now living with [[Bebe]], a creature that resembles the Witch [[Charlotte]]. Due to her altered memories, Mami believes that Bebe was the first friend she made after becoming a magical girl, and credits Bebe for keeping her from being lonely. While Bebe reciprocates Mami's friendship, in reality she is actually [[Nagisa Momoe]], the Magical Girl who became Charlotte. Nagisa entered the barrier from the Law of Cycles and disguised herself as her Witch form as part of Madoka's plan to stop the Incubators from achieving their goals.

Eventually Homura begins to realize that the false Mitakihara is actually a Witch's barrier. She immediately suspects Bebe, recognizing her as Charlotte. In order to question Bebe, Homura goes to Mami's house with Madoka and has tea with them. After talking with Mami for a little while, Homura contrives to get Mami to leave the room they're in by asking for more tea. However, Mami has become suspicious of Homura and ties her ribbon to Homura's leg, making her immune to Homura's time stops. Homura then stops time and questions Bebe, eventually leaving Mami's apartment to interrogate Bebe further.

[[File:Mami vs homu fight.gif|thumb|left|Mami fighting Homura]]
At this point Mami appears to confront Homura. In fact, it is later revealed that this is actually a ribbon duplicate under Mami's control. The duplicate rescues Bebe and questions Homura. Homura attempts to convince Mami that Bebe is tricking her, but isn't believed. Since the ribbon tied to Homura's leg vanishes when she tries to shoot it, Homura and the duplicate then proceed to have a gun duel with time alternately starting and stopping. Homura is eventually able to shoot a bullet through the ribbon while it is materialized, freezing the duplicate Mami in time. She aims to attack Mami's Soul Gem, but then decides to incapacitate her instead by shooting her leg. As this point the duplicate falls apart into ribbons and entraps Homura. Once again, Mami asks Homura about her motivations. Homura insists that Bebe is a Witch. Mami responds by saying she doesn't know what a Witch is, but begins remembering that the monster she fights are supposed to be Wraiths, not Nightmares. At this point Sayaka rescues Homura by using the smoke from a fire hydrant; when Mami clears the smoke she finds Homura is gone. She then finds that Bebe has transformed back into Nagisa Momoe. Nagisa apologizes for deceiving Mami and explains to her the truth of the situation.

Eventually Homura realizes she is the Witch and transforms into [[Homulilly]]. In the ensuing battle, Mami fights off Homulilly's familiars so that Madoka and Nagisa can break through Homulilly's barrier and expose Kyubey's Isolation Field. When the barrier is broken, Mami sits with Nagisa, petting her head to comfort her.

Back in the real world, Mami places Homura's Soul Gem on her body, and watches as Madoka, Sayaka and Nagisa descend from the sky to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. Just as Madoka is about to touch Homura's Soul Gem, Homura grabs onto her hands and begins altering the universe. Mami is engulfed by the colors that spill out of Homura's Soul Gem and spread out over the universe.

[[File:Dieewige.jpg|thumb|Mami, unaware of Devil Homura]]
Homura, now calling herself a [[Devil Homura|demon]], creates a new world. In this world, Mami is initially seen in her school uniform on the road to Mitakihara Middle School. She holds out her hand to catch falling cherry blossoms. Homura, who is sitting in a chair behind Mami, reaches her hand forward, pushing a tea cup out of the way. Mami turns around and see no-one there, and finds that she's caught a black feather instead of a cherry blossom.

At the end of the movie Mami is shown rescuing Nagisa from falling packages of cheese, indicating that they will become friends again in Homura's new universe.

===In the Drama CDs===
====[[Madoka Magica Drama CD 3: Farewell Story|Drama CD 3: Farewell Story]]====
Some time before the start of the anime, Mami made her wish after she was in a car accident with her parents. She was most likely very badly wounded, as her parents died on the scene, and Mami only survived due to making a wish with [[Kyubey]], who appeared at just that moment, leaving Mami little time to consider her wish. For some time after that, Mami fought to save people from witches by herself.

Approximately a year later, she meets [[Kyoko Sakura]], a girl who had made her wish at about the same time as Mami, but is far less experienced. Mami saves her from a powerful witch that was too much for Kyoko to defeat alone. Kyoko admires Mami's skill and ideals, and she is the first one Mami has met who thought in a similar way as she did. They become a team, fighting witches and saving people together. Mami meets [[Sakura Family|Kyoko's family]], and the two girls become very close.

Some time after they begin working together, Kyoko's father discovers that Kyoko had made her wish to give him followers for his church, which caused him to have a mental breakdown in which he killed himself and everyone in the family, except Kyoko. This event causes Kyoko to change idealistically, and she breaks her alliance with Mami, saying she will fight only for herself from now on. Mami thinks that she can change Kyoko's mind and refuses to let her go off alone, which leads to a clash between them in which they battle using their magic. Kyoko finishes the battle by forcing Mami to give up or seriously hurt her junior, and they separate for good. Mami is alone again except for Kyubey until the anime series starts.

===In [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The innocent malice|Kazumi Magica]]===

<blockquote>''"It's just tough being a Magical Girl, huh?"''<br>— Mami, [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 11: Dead or Rice|Kazumi Magica Chapter 11]].</blockquote>

Mami made a brief appearance in chapter 11 of Kazumi Magica. She saved [[Michiru Kazusa]] from a Witch's attack's while apparently on vacation in Asunaro city. Mami protects Michiru with her magical ribbons, attacking the witch with her smaller guns and finishing it off with Tiro Finale. The reasons are unknown, but she was with [[Juubey]] instead of Kyubey at the time, and consequently was the reason Juubey met Michiru. Later chapter revealed that Mami was with Kyubey, but the memories of that encounter were modified by Umika.

Mami also makes a brief, [[:File:Kazumami2.png|one-panel cameo]] in chapter 12, showing that her daring rescue inspired Michiru to name all the Pleiades' attacks in Italian.

===In [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica|Oriko Magica]]===
[[File:Oriko charlotte 1.png|thumb|left|250px|Mami avoiding being killed by Charlotte]]
In Oriko Magica, Mami does not die, unlike in the anime. In the third chapter, she fights Charlotte again, this time surviving the battle. She learns of the recent deaths of Magical Girls from Kyubey, who tells her that these deaths were caused by a black Magical Girl, not a Witch. Mami decides to investigate, and she asks Kyoko for information. Kyoko doesn't know much more than Mami, but asks her about a white Magical Girl named [[Oriko]]. Mami doesn't know her, but when she probes for more information, Kyoko rebuffs her. [[Yuma]] believes the blonde is bullying Kyoko, and flips her skirt in retaliation, making Mami cry. Mami later crosses paths with Homura and tries to warn her about murders, but Homura tells her to stay away from "us" (presumably Homura, Madoka and Sayaka). She then meets [[Kirika Kure]], who has lost a precious stuffed toy given to her by someone important. Mami finds the toy and returns it to Kirika, who claims that Mami is her savior and treats her to crepes. Mami accidentally sets Kirika off by saying that she must "be affectionate" towards the person who gave Kirika the doll. A Witch appears, surrounding Kirika. As Mami is contemplating how to kill it without hurting Kirika, the girl destroys the Witch herself. Kirika, who turns out to be the black Magical Girl, attacks Mami to prove her devotion to her love.

Chapters 4 details the fight between the two further, with Mami coming out the victor.

In chapters 5 to 7, Oriko and Kirika set familiars in [[Mitakihara Middle School]]. Mami tried to stop them to save students but got into their trap. Fortunately Kyoko and Yuma saved her. The three then fight against Kirika. The fact that a Magical Girl will become a Witch made her despair, but Yuma's words unite them again and they finally defeat Kirika's [[Latria|Witch form]].

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica ～The different story～|The Different Story]]===
[[File:Dinner at Kyoko's.jpg|thumb|left|Mami having dinner with Kyoko's family]]
The beginning of The Different Story follows the drama CD [[Drama CD 3|Farewell Story]] rather faithfully until the end of the first volume, where it begins a new timeline. In this timeline, Mami survives her battle with Charlotte thanks to Sayaka, and intervenes in the fight where Kyoko and Sayaka first meet.

Sayaka made a contract just in time to save Mami from being killed by Charlotte, and from then on, the two partner up to battle witches. When Sayaka is distracted during a fight, causing Mami to get hurt, Sayaka begins to lose confidence in herself as a "defender of justice".

Sayaka doesn't think she's worthy of being Mami's partner after ignoring Hitomi and her odd behavior, which she didn't realize at the time was caused because of a Witch's kiss. Mami tries to reason with her, but Sayaka responds that she won't respect Mami anymore if she still wants to partner with Sayaka.

When Mami catches up to Sayaka and saves her from the witch [[Elsa Maria]], admitting to her junior that she is a selfish and lonely girl who can't stand being alone. Mami decides to quit being "a champion of justice" for Sayaka. She wants Sayaka back as her partner, which Sayaka claims makes her happy, just as her Soul Gem explodes and she becomes the Witch [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]]. Mami escapes the barrier, and Kyubey reveals to her that it's the fault of Kyoko, Homura and Mami herself that Sayaka became a Witch.

When Mami learns the truth of the Magical Girl system, she spends a while thinking on her past interactions with other magical girls. Reference is made to her encounter with [[Michiru Kazusa]] from [[Kazumi Magica]], the new magical girls from the fist volume, and Kyoko's past with Mami in this flashback. Mami is so badly shaken that she decides to die with Oktavia. When Kyoko comes to stop her, she fights Kyoko without reserving her magic. It seems that she ties up Kyoko and kills her.

[[File:Madokatdsc 078.png|250px|thumb|Candeloro tempting Mami]]
When Mami opens Oktavia's barrier, her magic is exhausted and she is knocked to the ground. Her Soul Gem is rapidly darkening and she has little strength left. Mami flashbacks again to her past with Kyoko, which morphs into a hallucination where a younger version of herself (implied to be her Witch, [[Candeloro]]) comes to her with visions of a witch's barrier and familiars that look like Kyoko and Sayaka. She thinks, "If I become a witch, I'll be able to make everyone stay by me always."

When Mami wakes up from this dream, Kyoko appears, showing that the Kyoko that was killed by Mami was just an illusion created with magic. Mami requests Kyoko to kill her since she is about to become a Witch. Kyoko confesses to her that she thinks of Mami as her sister. Mami sees Kyoko using a Grief Seed to cleanse her Soul Gem before leaving to fight Oktavia. Kyoko leaves her black hair ribbon in Mami's hands.

[[File:PistolMamiDifferentstory1.png|thumb|left]]
Mami next wakes up in her apartment, where she is greeted with a hug by Madoka and sees Homura. Homura was the one to find Mami on the street and took her home. Madoka leaves, and Homura and Mami talk about what happened. Kyubey comes to tell them that Kyoko is dead. He also admits that it is beneficial to him if both Mami and Kyoko become witches. Hearing that, Mami summons a pistol from her Soul Gem, pointing it at Kyubey, ready to shoot him. But Kyubey depresses her, making her stop. Homura then slaps her, saying that she is too easily provoked. Then Homura seeks her help to fight Walpurgisnacht.

Madoka then returns to Mami's apartment and tells her her decision. She wants to bring back Sayaka, and is willing to protect the city for Mami. Mami cries and tells Madoka that she doesn't want to fight any more and Madoka promises Mami she won't have to fight because she'll fight for her.

Walpurgisnacht comes with Madoka, Sayaka and Homura ready to fight her, Madoka thinks about Mami before they face the Witch. It is then shown that Mami shattered her own Soul Gem to kill herself in her apartment but died with a smile and Kyoko's hair ribbon in her hand.

==Trivia==
* Mami's drinking tea from a teacup after her fight with [[Gertrud]] was an original idea added by [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Page_121|Inu Curry.]]
* Mami won the 2011 [[wikipedia:Moe_%28slang%29#Saimoe|Anime Saimoe]].
* In her short appearance in [[Kazumi Magica]], Mami is shown wearing white tights instead of dark brown tights. This matches her original design by [[Ume Aoki]], but not her finalized one from the anime.
** In fact, because Kazumi Magica, Madoka Magica anime and manga were all being written simultaneously (proven in Kazumi Magica settei found in Magia Archive), Kazumi and Madoka manga used the original designs unlike the anime.
* In Rebellion, Mami is seen brushing her hair in her apartment, while humming the first few notes of her character theme music, [[Soundtrack|Credens Justitiam]].
* She is the only character whose first name is written in katakana (contrasting with Madoka, Sayaka and Homura, whose names are written in Hiragana). This could imply that "Mami" has foreign origins, in line with the "Western flavor" Ume Aoki gave to Mami's magical girl outfit.
* She has characteristic [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OjouRinglets Ojou Ringlets] at the sides of her face. According to [[Ume Aoki|Ms. Aoki]]’s [[Megami Magazine 2011-01|design notes]]: "Her twisty, curly hair and floral hairpin make her seem like a big sister", "Mami’s design was definitely centered around her image as a gunner" and "Her boots give her a western flavor which her cap accentuates."
* In Magia Record:
** The name of her Scene 0 unit's Magia, ''Calcolato Finale'', is Italian for "Final Calculation".
*** In her Scene 0 unit's Magia, Mami uses an attack called "Tiro Volley". It went unused/unnamed in the original anime, but is a move used in various video games such as [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Battle Pentagram]] and [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra]].
** The name of her Scene 0 unit's Magia, Prevenuto Sfilata, is Italian for "Prevented Parade".
*** Her Scene 0 unit's second Magia is based on her Tiro Finale train cannon used in the fight against [[Homulilly]] in [[Rebellion]]. Before it appears a sprite of Nagisa shows up in the animation, implying her involvement in the attack.
** She and Mabayu are the only [[Scene 0]] characters where the film in their 4 Star card arts do not mirror any other characters.
* In Magia Exedra:
** She was the first Magical Girl to be added to Magia Exedra after launch with her Kioku ''Tiro Finale''.
[[File:Exedra_Mami_Art.jpg|thumb|Early Spietata Scarica art]]
** In pre-release screenshots, different art was used for Mami's base Kioku, seemingly potraying the 'Tiro Volley' attack from the anime, which instead became her battle skill. This art would later be repurposed for the ''Spietata Scarica'' Kioku, with a few changes to the art.
** Currently, Mami Tomoe has the most Kioku variants of all playable characters in Magia Exedra at 7 unique Kioku.
** Mami Tomoe is the first playable character to have Kioku of all roles.
* Among the main characters of the original anime, Mami has the least appearances, physically appearing in 5 episodes. Them being episode 1, 2, 3, 10 and 12.

==Observations==
* Given her status as a senior student and magical girl, both Madoka and Sayaka use a respectful tone when talking to Mami, and the honorific '-san' with her first name (which is attributed to their close but respectful relationship). Both Kyoko and Homura did the same in the past.
* In episode 6, Kyoko implied that Walpurgis Night's approach cannot be predicted. However, in episode 10, Mami from Timeline 1 seems to know that Walpurgis Night is coming.
* [[Episode 10]], the Bonus CD and the Blu-ray edition of [[Episode 2]] radically modify [[Mami's Residence|Mami's apartment]]. Previously, her apartment looked rather desolate, reinforcing the idea that she lives by herself with no one to support her, emphasizing her loneliness. The later revisions fill her room with beautifully decorated objects and very nice furniture (and it's also implied that it is a two-story accommodation with an internal staircase). This may be to reinforce her rich background.
** Mami's apartment appears to be rather large, and is clearly a maisonette in subsequent revisions. Japan, being a very densely populated nation has some of the highest real estate prices in the world. To own and mantain such a large flat in Japan, let alone in a downtown zone of a large city, means the Tomoes must have had quite a bit of money. On the other hand, every person in the anime seems to have large houses.
* It is likely that Mami inherited her family's assets and probably insurance money. The way she dresses and talks, as well as her Ojou Ringlets, indicates that she comes from a wealthy family. The decorations at her place are consistent with that image.
* She feels the most "traditional" of the girls in terms of femininity and being a Magical Girl. She's the only girl in the series (before Rebellion) to call out her attack names, while taking out enemies with style and grace. While at home she cooks and puts a lot of effort into presentation of both her home and herself. This more traditional style might be used because Mami fights as a Magical Girl before Madoka becomes a Magical Girl. Just like Magical Girls of course existed before Madoka Magica.
** From this viewpoint, Mami being killed by Charlotte signifies the death of the traditional view of a Magical Girl within the series. With Madoka leaving her notebook at Mami's home symbolically representing her burying this dream. Only for it to be later returned by Mami in episode 12 as she offers her approval of Madoka's choice.
* Mami Tomoe and Charlotte could be linked to the story [[wikipedia:Hansel and Gretel|“Hansel and Gretel"]]. In most versions of this story, Gretel is portrayed as a girl with blonde hair in two braids or curls, similar to Mami’s. The witch in Hansel and Gretel lives in a house made of gingerbread, cake and candy, similar to Charlotte’s barrier. The witch’s intent is to eat the children, which is also like Charlotte’s behavior.
* One possible explanation with regards to Mami's ribbon powers is that it is related to Mami's original wish and its relation to Buddhist beliefs. One of the ideas in Buddhism is that the life we are living right now is just a temporary phase. Death is not the end, instead it is the time for your soul to begin a new journey. And thus "wanting to live" equates to "have a lot of attachment to this world" under the Buddhist philosophy, rather than "fear of dying". Mami's wish was generated from her strong attachment to life, and her power took the form of a literal interpretation: to be able to tie things together.
* Mami bears some similarities to ''Sailor Moon'':
** She may be named after Hotaru Tomoe (Sailor Saturn).
** Her twin ringlets are notably similar to the iconic twin ponytails of Usagi Tsukino (the titular Sailor Moon).
** Similarly, her ribbon magic and transformation motif may be a reference to the ribon motif in Sailor Moon's own transformation sequence.
** Her relationship with [[Nagisa Momoe]] as of [[Rebellion]] may be a reference to the (literal) mother/daughter relationship between Usagi and her daughter Chibiusa (Sailor Chibi Moon).

==Etymology==
*Her first name is written in katakana, which has no particular meaning. No official kanji of her name exists. When written in kanji, it can be read hundreds of ways. The official [[Licensing in Taiwan|Chinese translation]] uses one of the most commonly and traditionally used kanji (麻美), "beautiful hemp", as the hanzi for her first name.
** She may be named after the titular character of the magical girl anime ''[[wikipedia:Creamy_Mami,_the_Magic_Angel|Creamy Mami, the Magical Angel]]''. The series had a crossover with ''[[wikipedia:Magical_Princess_Minky_Momo|Magical Princess Minky Momo]]'', focusing on a young princess of a world of fairy tales in danger of disappearing because the people of Earth were losing their dreams and hope. Momo is sent to Earth by her parents in an effort to help humanity regain their hope, and for a time is successful. However, she later loses her powers and is soon after killed by an oncoming truck (similar to Mami's parents) and is reborn as a baby to be cared for by her adoptive parents on Earth, where she now has her own hopes and dreams to realize as she grows up.
**Her name itself has been thought to be a play on the word "mommy". Considering her innate role as a motherly figure towards Madoka, it would be logical to call her "Mami". In ''Rebellion'' she has a companion named "[[Bebe]]" - "baby".
*The character for her last name (巴) literally means "comma design," a [[wikipedia:Tomoe|Japanese swirl pattern]].
** She may be named after [[wikipedia:Sailor_Saturn|Hotaru Tomoe]], also known as Sailor Saturn, of the magical girl franchise ''[[wikipedia:Sailor_Moon|Sailor Moon]]''. Fitting with the planet she is associated with and with ''Madoka Magica's'' themes, Sailor Saturn possesses powers of "silence, ruin, nothingness, destruction, death, and rebirth", and is capable of destroying or resetting a universe's existence and evolution.
** She may also be named after [[wikipedia:Tomoe_Gozen|Tomoe Gozen]], a famous onna-bugeisha known for her battle prowess.

<blockquote>''"A person becomes naïve if they're too kind, careless if they're too bold, and no matter how hard you try to protect others, there's no gratitude.

{{nihongo|'''Homura Akemi'''|暁美ほむら|Akemi Homura}} is one of the main characters from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]].

Homura is a girl shrouded in mystery, first seen by [[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] in her dreams, she later transfers to her school. In reality she is a time traveler, constantly going back in time trying to prevent Madoka from becoming a Magical Girl, and the fate that follows.

==Appearance==
{{Stub}}

===Magical Girl===
{{Stub}}

==Personality and Traits==
[[File:Episode 10 (4).png|thumb|left|Homura walking alone, deep in thought]]
In the original timeline, Homura is portrayed as meek, shy, timid, clumsy and is known around the school for her lack of confidence.<ref name='madomagi10'/> She was also known for her physical incapability of performing in P.E. class; she would get dizzy upon doing even the simplest of warm-up exercises.<ref name='madomagi10'/> This had the unfortunate result of her being a target of bullying.<ref name='dramacd1'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Drama CD 1: Memories of You]]</ref> Overwhelmed by her perceived uselessness, she begins questioning her existence and considered herself to be useless and worthless.<ref name='madomagi10'/> Her feelings do not change until she begins her fated friendship with Madoka. Madoka, alongside [[Mami Tomoe]], shows her the ropes and dangers of becoming a Magical Girl and notes that Madoka's own attitude became much healthier with every witch battle.<ref name='madomagi10'/> Madoka was also probably the first person to see Homura differently, for the good person that she was and opened her eyes that changed her way thinking about herself.<ref name='madomagi10'/>

In an ironic twist, we start to see a transformation on both with each timeline, leading to a role reversal. In the final timeline we see how frail and meek Madoka is, compared to the current Homura whose personality had performed a complete 180-degree turn due to her experiences. Madoka believes she is powerless and worthless, and someone who can't even do anything to save her friends. Homura also believes that Madoka is too kind and reckless for trying to do too much for others.<ref name='madomagi4'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 4: Miracles and Magic Are Real]]</ref> This is probably because Madoka being a Magical Girl boosted her confidence to speak to others by a lot, even cheering a depressed Homura up telling her to live up to her name.<ref name='madomagi10'/> She even asked her to call her by "Madoka" and asking if she could do the same by calling Homura by her first name.<ref name='madomagi10'/> For each timeline Homura blocks the contract from occurring at the start<ref name='madomagi10'/>, Madoka is just a really selfless girl who cares about others more than herself which causes her to take risks for others but feels hopeless and because of that Homura needs to keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn’t make a contract.

[[File:Episode 10 (52).png|thumb|left|Homura warning Madoka to avoid Kyubey while holding his dead body out of her view]]
In the final timeline, she is immediately depicted as being very intelligent, athletic, distant, and cold<ref name='madomagi1'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something]]</ref>, but she is only like this because she has seen so much suffering during her tenure as a Magical Girl.<ref name='madomagi4'/> She does not want [[Madoka Kaname]] to become a Magical Girl and tries to do anything in order to stop her from making a wish with [[Kyubey]], going as far as to attempting to injure him. Despite her cold attitude towards others, she still very much cares about her friends, Especially Madoka, who considers her best friend, because it is her sole objective to protect her due to the countless amount blood, sweat, and tears she has shed over her jumps in time. Homura calls everyone by their full name, giving the impression of being distant to people. This is most likely an attempt of her part to distance herself emotionally with everyone.<ref name='madomagi1'/>

Despite being regarded as someone who always says empty words and has given up on everything by [[Sayaka Miki]],<ref name='madomagi8'>''"Your eyes look like they've given up on anything and everything. You always speak empty words.[...]"'' - [[Madoka Magica Episode 8: I Was Stupid… So Stupid]]</ref> Homura is far from being emotionless. Although she does not easily show signs of remorse, sadness, or pity, it is only because she had grown used to the suffering around her. Her cold nature is from her determination to save Madoka after having failed in her mission to prevent Madoka from becoming a Magical Girl countless times.<ref name='madomagi10'/> Homura herself has stated that she always feels badly with each life she unable to save or alter, but nevertheless, it does not slow her down from staying true to her main objective in saving Madoka.<ref name='rebellion'>''"I wish I could have lived on in blissful ignorance of just how many hearts I have trampled on to this day."'' - [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]]</ref>

==Powers and Abilities==
===Original Universe===
[[File:Time traveling homura.gif|thumb|left|Homura going back in time]]
Homura can stop time, however anyone she touches while the ability is under effect will not be stopped.<ref name='madomagi9'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 9: I'd Never Allow That to Happen]]</ref> Along with stopping time, Homura can also reverse time to before her meeting with Madoka.<ref name='madomagi10'/> According to an interview in Otona Anime Vol. 20, here is what Gen Urobuchi said on more of Homura's power:
<blockquote>"The weapon that looks like Homura's shield is actually a sand timer. When the flow of the sand is blocked, time is stopped. And when there is no sand on the upper part of the sand timer and then the timer is reverted, one month's worth of time is turned back. But before that stage is reached, only time stopping is possible. This means the special power of Homura is the ability to manipulate one month's time's worth of sand in the sand timer. As for the time passed and then turned back, since it was not the focus in this work, I did not think it through very thoroughly. I think you can say that the world split up and became parallel worlds there."</blockquote>
In her final fight with Walpurgisnacht, we see Homura's sand run out in the middle of the fight, verifying that there is a limitation to her time stop powers.<ref name='madomagi11'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 11: The Only Thing I Have Left to Guide Me]]</ref> Gen Urobuchi stated that he didn't really think too much about the mechanics of Homura's time loops, so the nature of Homura's power is not only a mystery, but it is not fully understood not even by the creative source.<ref>Shown in [[NewType 2011-05#Homura's shield|NewType 2011-05]]</ref>

Homura's shield is able to store a countless amount of weapons, as demonstrated by the many pistols, light machineguns, shotguns, rocket launchers, and boxes of ammunition packed inside it.<ref name='madomagi10'/> Note that her shield is relatively small and she is able to wear it around her wrist, much like a watch.

When Homura uses her black bow to fire arrows, she summons the same magic symbol Madoka does, however her symbol has diamond shapes rather than circles.<ref name='wraith3'/> She has been shown transforming her arrows into birdlike forms<ref name='wraith3'/> and combining them into a crossbow-like form for added power.<ref name='wraith3'/> Homura also has the ability to create wings of energy, shown forming angelic wings when confronting Wraiths in the city<ref name='madomagi12'/> and jagged dark wings when walking through the desert.<ref name='madomagi12'/>

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Madoka Magica]]===
In the original timeline, Homura shyly introduces herself to her new class. [[Kazuko Saotome|The teacher]] explains that Homura has been hospitalized for some time due to a heart disease. As multiple classmates ambush her with questions, she stammers, and is then interrupted by [[Madoka Kaname]], asking her if she needs to go to the nurse. As Madoka leads her to the nurse, she eagerly talks with the shy Homura, letting her call her by her first name, which flusters Homura further. When Madoka asks her to call her by her first name, Homura believes that her name is weird, Madoka counters, saying that her name is cool and means "flame". Homura says that "flame" doesn't fit her, which causes Madoka to stop walking, encouraging Homura to be just as cool as her name.

In math class, when she tries to solve a problem, she starts shaking and crying, the teacher excuses her. In gym class, her classmates talk to eachother about Homura getting dizzy just from warmups. After school while walking through the city, Homura thinks about what Madoka said to her, she talks down to herself, believing that she can't improve. A different voice starts speaking to her, encouraging her to suicide as she walks into a mysterious space, at first she agrees but then snaps out of it, realizing she's not in the city anymore. She looks around, scared and confused, when a Witch, [[Izabel]], materializes infront of her, spawning Familiars to go and attack her. As Homura trips and becomes helpless, the Familiars and Witch get shot multiple times, yellow ribbons coming out of them and wrapping them all up. [[Mami Tomoe]] and Madoka appear before her, transformed, as Homura questions it, [[Kyubey]] appears behind her and explains that they are Magical Girls. Mami and Madoka defeat the Witch.

At Mami's apartment, Homura asks questions about Magical Girls to Madoka and Mami. When Walpurgisnacht appears, Mami dies in battle. Madoka gets ready to fight Walpurgisnacht on her own, but Homura begs her to not go. Madoka believes that it's her duty to fight, but Homura insists that she doesn't have to, Madoka doesn't listen and goes off, making Homura scream for her. Where Madoka's corpse lays, Homura cries about how much she wants her back. Kyubey appears out of thin air, offering a contract. Homura wishes to meet Madoka again, but this time instead of Madoka protecting her, she will protect Madoka. Kyubey contracts with her, and as she grabs her Soul Gem, she goes back in time.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc|Wraith Arc]]===
[[File:Homura WA 1.jpg|thumb|Homura introducing herself to her new class]]
Homura appears in the first pages of chapter 1 in flashback. She is shown saying her goodbyes to Madoka as in the end of the anime, with Madoka promising to meet her again and giving Homura her ribbons. She doesn't appear again until the end of chapter 2 after Sayaka has been led away by the Law of Cycles and Mami and Kyoko are standing at the station. Homura is introduced as the new transfer student and she leaves the class in order to meet with Mami and Kyoko on the rooftop, Homura wiping away a tear as she remembers meeting Madoka for the first time. They tell Homura about the giant [[Wraith]] that has been seen lately and agree not to hunt it on their own.

After several days of combing the city for the giant Wraith and hunting down other more common Wraiths, Homura has a short discussion with Kyubey about Madoka and the previous universe. Soon after, she encounters the giant Wraith alone and attempts to defeat it herself by unleashing a large arrow of magic at it which takes on the form of a bird. However the giant Wraith withstands the attack and is able to surprise Homura and overwhelm her, stealing a portion of her power. A smaller wraith steals Madoka's ribbon from her as well.

After a nightmare, Homura wakes up in Mami's apartment, with Mami bringing her a tray of tea and many lecturing words. She asks Homura to transform into a Magical Girl, which she does successfully, and then to summon her weapon, which she cannot. Mami concludes that the Wraiths stole a portion of Homura's power but has no idea on how to retrieve it. Homura is impatient to go and retrieve her powers, but Mami cautions her to play it safe and leave everything up to her and Kyoko. Homura alters her memories slightly before thanking Mami and leaving. In the city, Homura talks with Kyubey about the memory-manipulation magic she now has and her lack of time-stopping ability. She takes off to search the city when Kyoko runs into Homura while patrolling the streets. She assures Homura she won't tell Mami she saw her up and about knowing Mami would only lecture her further. When asked why she remains in the city despite Sayaka having disappeared, Kyoko responds she is still here to avenge Sayaka. Kyoko agrees to help Homura in finding and defeating the wraith provided she is the one to give the final blow.

Despite using Grief Cubes, Homura finds her magical power has yet to recover which Kyubey explains is due to her Soul Gem's lack of capacity after the wraiths stole some of her power. As Homura sits in the park at night, Kyoko walks up to her telling her she's found a clue about the Wraiths. Before Homura can come closer, Mami appears and fires at Kyoko, revealing her to be another Mutant Wraith that had taken on the form of Kyoko with the intent of attacking Homura. Mami summons several muskets and together her and Homura are able to hold off the Wraiths but not for long. During the fight, Homura realizes the Wraith is using time-manipulation magic. After a voice gives Homura advice, the two Magical Girls are able to overcome the Wraiths' time-stopping ability and seemingly defeat the Wraith-Kyoko with Mami's Tiro Finale. After, the real Kyoko appears and informs them of the fake Sayaka and they agree on rules in order to limit their ability to be taken by surprise by the Mutant Wraiths. Mami and Kyoko leave, leaving Homura alone. She hears the voice from earlier once more and turns to see Madoka standing before her. However, this is not the real Madoka but a Wraith who has taken on her form. She returns Madoka's ribbon to Homura before asking for her help in stopping the giant Wraith. The fake Madoka explains how Wraiths really work before explaining that the magic they took from Homura corrupted the Wraiths, resulting in the Mutant Wraiths that take on human forms. Despite Homura's reluctance in believing her story, she has the Wraith follow her back to her apartment. There, Kyubey examines the Wraith and confirms it carries a part of Homura's power in her.

After several weeks of searching for the giant Wraith, Homura and Wraith-Madoka are no closer to finding its whereabouts. Wraith-Madoka asks Homura what she really thinks of her since she is taking the form of her most precious friend. Homura snaps at the Wraith, telling her she is nothing more than a fake for which Homura holds no shred of emotion for and threatens to kill her for insulting Madoka's wish. But the Wraith tells her she is lying to herself and that she is not only a Wraith but also Homura's heart.

Mami and Kyoko decide to begin their search from the beginning. Mami is upset to find that Homura had been searching for the giant Wraith alone and worries that something may happen to her. Homura snaps at both Mami and Kyoko before taking off. Alone, Homura asks Kyubey what she wished for in order to become a Magical Girl but Kyubey doesn't know the answer to that. Homura worries that she may have used her memory-altering magic on herself in order to turn her dream of Madoka into memories instead. Wraith-Madoka catches up with Homura and offers to walk her home but not before Mami and Kyoko run into them. However, to Mami and Kyoko the Wraith looks nothing like Madoka and only has the form of a Mutant Wraith wrapped around Homura. They transform and prepare to rescue Homura, but Homura instead begs the Wraith to save her from being a Magical Girl. The Wraith takes Homura's soul gem and teleports them from the area, leaving Mami and Kyoko behind.

At Homura's apartment, Homura and Wraith-Madoka sit in front of her many monitors and watch as a flashback plays out in which Homura makes her original wish to Kyubey to protect Madoka. Kyubey appears only to admonish Homura for having a Wraith eat all of her emotions in order to avoid meeting the Law of Cycles. Outside, the Wraiths begin their attack on the city, leaving people dead rather than simply emotionless. As Mami and Kyoko fight their respective battles, Wraith-Madoka and Homura watch from a nearby rooftop. Before the Wraiths can bring the final blow to Mami, Wraith-Madoka takes the ribbon from Homura and unleashes several arrows from the air in Madoka's characteristic attack, protecting Mami. The Wraith appears as Madoka to even Mami now that she has her ribbon. Together the Wraith and Mami are able to work together to take down the two imposters.

By this time the giant Wraith has been consumed by the power it took from Homura and transforms into a Witch-like creature complete with Familiars, known as [[Kriemhild Fausut]]. The Wraith and Mami fight off the familiars but not before Kyoko and Mami are killed by the giant Wraith. Wraith-Madoka continues in her struggle to defeat the Witch-like wraith alone, but is overwhelmed and soon plummets to her death. Homura watches the battle dispassionately until she suddenly recovers herself and runs to catch the falling wraith. She realizes that Madoka is not a dream as the Witch that stands before her is the proof that Madoka existed.

Homura regains her original memories. Upon arriving to the new universe, she discovered that her time-manipulation shield no longer worked and she initially discarded it only to have the shield open a small portal to another world. Homura jumps into the world inside her shield and discovers [[Kriemhild Gretchen]] inside. Before she can destroy the shield, she realizes that if a Witch is inside her shield then Madoka may also be inside fighting the Witch. Instead, Homura used her magic to alter her own memories and causes herself to forget the existence of the time shield.

[[File:Homura magic power.png|thumb|250px|left|The personification of Homura's magic]]
After Homura and Wraith-Madoka land on the streets below, Homura reaches for the ribbon the wraith is holding and finds herself transported to another world. Her appearance changes to her original appearance with glasses and braids. There, she meets a doppelganger of herself who introduces itself as the personification of Homura's power that was stolen by the wraiths. It explains they are inside the world of her soul gem and that it was freed when the wraith that housed it was destroyed. After being stolen by the wraiths, her magical power was able to take control of one of the mutant wraiths in order to assist Homura. Homura asks her magical power what caused the wraiths to go rogue and her magic explains that it was due to the time manipulation magic coming from another universe with different laws. When Madoka and Homura parted ways in the space outside of the universe, their feelings for each other were so strong that a true miracle occurred and their feelings crystallized into a new soul gem for Homura. Because a miracle was granted to a magical girl without a normal exchange, it became separate from the laws of the universe and was considered in incomplete magic. After some time, this new magic began to interfere with her original magic, causing her shield and Madoka to suddenly link up. After Homura erased her memories of the shield, the wraiths stole the shield and were consumed by the curses that were contained within. Because the curses were a form of emotional energy not known in this universe, it corrupted the wraiths and caused the giant wraith to become a witch destined to destroy the world. Homura's thoughts take on the form of Sayaka, Kyoko and Mami who voice her self doubts in having rewritten her own memories rather than lose the shield and her proof of Madoka's existence. Homura takes off her glasses and undoes her braids, filled with a new resolve to protect Madoka even at the cost of her shield. She asks her magic to lend her power once more and her magic power takes on the form of her soul gem.

Filled with power once more, Homura unleashes several hundred arrows that destroy the smaller Wraiths and Familiars before firing a single large arrow at the Witch. As she drives the arrow further in, the Witch cracks open and reveals the face of Kriemhild Gretchen and her shield inside. As Homura reaches for her shield, the Witch uses its power to stab Homura through several times in an attempt to stop her. But Madoka appears before Homura and helps push her the last few inches towards the shield. As Homura touches the shield, it crumbles to pieces and the Witch is obliterated. Back inside her Soul Gem, her magical power incarnate holds a sleeping Homura in her hands as she explains that Madoka has reset the timeline of this universe in order to prevent the curses of the previous world from interfering. Unlike last time however, Homura will lose her memories of the previous timeline.

[[File:Homura WA ending.png|thumb|250px|The Incubators watching Homura fight Wraiths]]
Homura snaps to alertness as she realizes she is standing at the station with Mami and Kyoko, Sayaka having just been led away by the Law of Cycles. Some time later, Homura is having the same discussion with Kyubey concerning Madoka and the previous universe. As Homura drops down to destroy the Wraiths in the streets below, Kyubey reveals a piece of Homura's shield it managed to salvage and explains how he kept his memories of the previous timeline. Now that he has a piece of the shield and proof of Homura's story concerning the Law of Cycles, he and the other Incubators can now plan for a way in which they can capture Madoka.

The chapter ends as Homura is walking in the desert, ready to take on a hoard of Wraiths as several Incubators watch from atop some nearby ruins.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|Rebellion]]===
[[File:Capture 01 00 016.png|thumb|left|Homura introducing herself to her new class, showing off her Soul Gem ring]]
In events prior to Rebellion, Homura was captured by the [[Kyubey|Incubators]], and her Soul Gem was placed in an Isolation Field that blocked out the Law of Cycles. This strain led Homura to transform partially into a witch without her knowledge. In this form, she also unconsciously created a labyrinth that was a near-perfect replica of Mitakihara City, and unconsciously lured her former acquaintances into it. She even drew in Madoka from the Law of Cycles, who entered the barrier along with Sayaka and [[Nagisa Momoe]]. In this dream world, Homura unconsciously distorted almost everyone's memories (including her own) so that they believed they were living in the real world fighting new enemies called [[Nightmare]]s.

Eventually Homura realizes that she's trapped in a Witch's barrier and attempts to discover who is behind it. Near the end of her journey she has a conversation with Madoka that causes her to realize that she can't accept Madoka's sacrifice. At this point she begins to realize she is the witch, and confirms it when she separates herself from her Soul Gem without consequence.

[[File:Black dress homura.gif|thumb|Homura as Kyubey explains his motives]]
At this point Kyubey appears and explains the truth about Homura's present nature and the Incubators' plan to control the Law of Cycles. This causes Homura to go berserk and curse her existence, completing her transformation into a Witch known as [[Homulilly]]. Madoka and the other Magical Girls manage to rescue Homura by destroying the stasis field containing them all, returning them to reality. Due to the Isolation Field, Homura only became a Witch inside her own Soul Gem, allowing Madoka to save her.

Ultimate Madoka arrives to take Homura away as per the Law of the Cycle. However, Homura grabs Madoka first. Her Soul Gem turns black, then fills with swirling colors that Nagisa calls worse than curses. Reality begins to crack as Homura separates Madoka from her goddess self. The colors burst out of her Soul Gem, and both the cracks and colors engulf the entire universe. She transforms into [[Devil Homura]]

Homura first appears in Chapter 3. When Mami warns her about the magical girl murders, Homura seems not to care, but warns Mami not to get close to her, Madoka, Hitomi and Sayaka.

In chapter 4, she appears for one page with her friends, going out for sweets. She defers to Madoka's taste and doesn't care where they go. She protected Madoka well to this point, keeping the knowledge of magical girls far away from her and Sayaka.

In chapters 5-7, as Mitakihara Junior High is covered with a [[Latria|Witch]]'s barrier, Homura does her best to protect Madoka from the [[Orkos|Familiars]]. After Madoka told her not to sacrifice others to protect her, Homura decided to find [[Oriko]] and [[Kirika]] and defeat them. Oriko reveals that she knows about the end of the world caused by [[Kriemhild Gretchen]], Madoka's Witch form, and that she plans to kill Madoka before she can contract and cause that to happen. Homura fights together with Mami, Kyoko and [[Yuma]], coming close to losing when two of the other three fall into despair after seeing Kirika become a Witch. They manage to pull themselves together and defeat her, and Homura kills Oriko. But since Oriko also killed Madoka by using the last of her power to shoot a piece of Kirika's witch body through Madoka's torso, Homura can do nothing but reset the timeline.

==Trivia==
*At a [[Nitro+ Q&A Panels at Animagic 2013|Nitro+ Q&A Panel]] it was revealed that Homura went through almost 100 timelines. <i><b>Q:</b> How many timelines did Homura go through? <b>A:</b> Approaching 100.</i>
** If Homura really did loop the same month and a half nearly 100 times, she would technically be around 26-years old, having spent 12 years looping time. (Calculations [http://homura.tumblr.com/post/57010494639/when-asked-how-many-timelines-did-homura-go here].) However, since her body is always reset along with time, she is still only 14-years old physically. In some interpretations, this would make Homura about twelve years older mentally than Madoka.
*** Since Homura's body stayed the same physical age throughout the loops, this implies that her brain does as well, and as such she would not have had the intervening 12 years of neurological development, and instead only an amount of extra memories from the loops that adds up to 12 years and the accompanying trauma.
* Homura finds a manual on how to make bombs from the internet. According to the [[wikipedia:ja:腹腹時計#.E5.89.B5.E4.BD.9C.E7.89.A9.E3.81.B8.E3.81.AE.E7.99.BB.E5.A0.B4|Japanese Wikipedia]], the manual is titled {{Nihongo|'''Hara Hara Tokei'''|腹腹時計|[[wikipedia:Hara_Hara_Tokei|Hara Hara Tokei]]}}, published in March 1974 by a [[wikipedia:East_Asia_Anti-Japan_Armed_Front|far-left terrorist organization]].
** Incidentally, the manual explains with illustrations that ''“Anyone with a middle-school level knowledge of chemistry can do it”''.
* In the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Official Guidebook "You Are Not Alone"]] Hanokage jokingly describes Homura as "Hommando" in her After-Recording Report comic, because of the excessive vast arsenal of weaponry she unleashes in [[Episode 11]]. Apparently the smörgåsbord of weaponry was added later, they were not originally depicted in the early stages of the screenplay.
** One fan estimates that Homura used ¥ 1,383,040,300 Yen worth of military weaponry & equipment (that's $17,037,114 USD in today's dollars).[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE4b5yPG5qg&feature=player_embedded]
* In Magia Record:
** Homura was originally released as a pre-registration bonus. She is also purchasable in the in-game shop for in-game currency. She cannot be rolled in the gacha, but may be given out in certain events.
** On the other hand, the version of Homura without glasses was event limited and could only be obtained in the gacha.
*** The fourteen Eyeglasses Homura-like shadows in her Doppel could either be a reference to [[Clara Dolls]], or the fact that Homura constantly travels back in time just to save Madoka.
** She was also the only natural ★4 characters to not have a ★5 unlock until July 6, 2018.
** Homura's Doppel is based off of [[Homulilly]]'s concept art from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable|Madoka Portable]].
** Homura is the only of the six ''Madoka Magica'' girls who has only one swimsuit. All others have one swimsuit unit and one swimsuit costume.
** The needle in Kimono Homulilly's hat has been replaced by a [[Wikipedia:Shishi-odoshi|shishi-odoshi]], a device made to scare away animals that pose a threat to agriculture. In this sense, it can be seen as an attempt to scare away [[Incubator]]s that threaten humanity.
*** The water is being poured into the bamboo by a ''sake'' flask.
[[File:Homura haregi doppel attack.jpg|thumb|Homura Akemi (Kimono)'s Doppel attack]]
** The duck or swan-shaped boat (treasure ship) Kimono Homulilly summons loosely resembles the [[:File:Rconcept_elly_boat.png|horse-shaped boat]] seen in her labyrinth in [[Rebellion]].
**The pole in the boat resembles [[:File:Das_Ewig_Weibliche_2.png|Ultimate Madoka's symbol]].
***The pole bears the word for 'treasure' on it.
** Kimono Homulilly's Familiars resemble the [[Wikipedia:Seven Lucky Gods|Seven Lucky Gods]]. From left to right, they are:
*** '''Far left''': Ebisu, the fisherman.
*** '''Left''': Daikokuten, who wields a mallet.
*** '''Middle left''': Bishamonten, who wields a trident.
*** '''Middle''': Hotei, who wields a fan and a sack.
*** '''Right''': Benzaiten, who carries a ''biwa'' (Japanese lute).
*** The Familiar in '''green''' ('''middle right''', between Hotei and Benzaiten) and in '''purple''' at the '''far right''' are uncertain. Both Jurojin and Fukurokuju are old men with abnormally long heads, both are depicted as having sacred scrolls tied to their staff (as the purple Familiar does), and both are associated with the deer (behind the green one) and the crane (behind the purple one). Both are frequently confused with each other due to their similarities, and are sometimes depicted as either family or inhabiting the same body.
** In her Kimono unit, Homura appears to lack her Soul Gem anywhere in her design when transformed. It's unknown whether this is an animation error or not.
** The illustrator for her Swimsuit unit is Imoan.
** The film from Homura and Madoka's Scene 0 4 star Cards mirror each other.
* In Magia Exedra:
** Her 5✦ Kioku ''Dark Art Dominion'', aka her Waith Arc/Ribbon Form is the first Kioku that hasn't also appeared as a playable character in [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]].
** She is the third character to have a special 'crystal door' animation following Madoka, the first being ''Dark Art Domination''.
*** Both ''Dark Art Domination'' and ''Falsified Phenomena'' were referencing each scenes from TV series and Rebellion film. For ''Dark Art Domination'', it's referencing Madoka gifting her red ribbons to Homura before their final farewell, and ''Falsified Phenomena'' references the final climax scene of Rebellion.
* Homura and Madoka are the only main characters in the original anime to appear in all 12 episodes.

==Observations==
* She appears to live by herself; her [[Homura Residence|residence]] only has her name on the nameplate, much like [[Mami]]'s. In episode 10, when she wakes up in the hospital, no-one is there with her, and she seems to have been filling out the school transfer forms on her own.
* Her [[Homura_Residence|house]] has a wall display of documents relating to witches.
* She is visibly upset when Madoka uses her last name or honorifics instead of the more intimate "Homura".
* Homura calls everyone by their full name, giving the impression of being distant to people. This is most likely an attempt of her part to distance herself emotionally with everyone.
** In [[episode 10]], Homura goes from formal to first name basis with Madoka.
** In [[episode 9]] when Kyoko sacrifices herself to save Sayaka, Homura calls her by her first name.
** The way she calls Sayaka varies on timelines. And she always refers to Mami as by her full name or Tomoe-san, probably because she is her senior.
* Homura may actually be Faust, as Faust in the play tries all his might to save Gretchen (Madoka) from dying but in the end she perishes anyways as Mephistopheles (QB) tries to tempt her to form a contract with him.
** There's also the fact that in the Goethe version, Faust would only lose his soul if he ever had a moment of perfect happiness that made him wish he could stop time at that moment forever. Homura's power, of course, is to stop time. As such, it's entirely possible that the Homura and Faust parallels will be taken to its logical conclusion: She will have a moment of perfect happiness, she will stop time at that moment, and then she will die or become a witch. However, it should be mentioned that Faust manages to escape Mephistopheles and enter heaven because he found his moment of happiness in helping others, and not in anything Mephistopheles gave him. On the other hand, there is a [[Kriemhild Gretchen|witch that tries to create heaven on Earth.]]
** In the story of Faust, the devil grants him "magical powers" for 24 years, "one year for each hour of the day," and the deal was at the end of the "24 years," the devil would claim his soul. Homura's "weapon" is an hourglass, and her hourglass can reset time by one month. Given the strong parallels to Faust, and how at the end of the last loop, Homura was about to lose her soul (by giving in to Kyuubey's master plan and her Soul Gem becoming corrupted), it is entirely probable that her loop lasted for a total of 24 months/loop attempts as a reasonable conservative estimate, and the full Faustian 24 years as a more gruesome estimate. Given how radically her personality has changed since the first loop attempt, and how she seems to have memorized most of the key events of the loop, 24 months seems like a plausible number.
* In ''[[Rebellion]]'', before Homura transforms into Akuma Homura, she smashes her Soul Gem between her teeth, like a nutcracker. Given this, it seems likely she is still the Nutcracker Witch despite Madoka's intervention.
** This idea seems further supported by Kyubey's referring to her as "neither a Magical Girl, nor a Witch". As it is likely she is now both, since she contains features both of them have, like a human appearance, a Soul Gem, familiars, and a barrier.
* In ''[[Walpurgisnacht: Rising]]'', Homura's ring {{Spoiler|is written {{Runes|homura|variant=latin}} ("Homura") in [[Witch Runes|Latin]]}}.

==Etymology==
* Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no special meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean:
** flame, blaze ({{lang|ja|炎}} or {{lang|ja|焔}})
** heart on fire ({{lang|ja|心火}})
* Though only {{lang|ja|焔}}, {{lang|ja|炎}}, and {{lang|ja|心火}} are actually Japanese given names.
* The first character for Akemi ({{lang|ja|暁}}) means "daybreak", while the second one ({{lang|ja|美}}) means beauty which is a common letter in girl's names.
** In an early production sketch, her surname was given as ({{lang|ja|暁海}}) "daybreak sea" instead of ({{lang|ja|暁美}}). Both are read as Akemi.
* When her full name is written vertically in hiragana ({{lang|ja|あけみほむら}}) and covering the left half at a certain angle, it could be read as {{lang|ja|カナメまどか}} which is Kaname written in katakana and Madoka written in hiragana.

<blockquote>''"If someone ever tells me it's a mistake to have hope, well, then, I'll just tell them they're wrong. And I'll keep telling them 'til they believe!

{{nihongo|'''Madoka Kaname'''|鹿目まどか|Kaname Madoka}} is the titular and main character of [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]].

Living an ordinary life, Madoka has a loving family and is surrounded by good friends. One day she has a dream of a mysterious girl fighting an ominous creature. The next day, [[Homura Akemi]], the girl from her dream, comes to her class as a transfer student and changes her life.<ref name='madomagi1'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 1: I First Met Her in a Dream… or Something]]</ref>

===Magical Girl===
{{stub}}

==Personality and Traits==
Madoka first appears to be a naive, gentle girl from a kind family. Though sometimes shy, she makes friends without much difficulty and treats others gently and with respect. Madoka's mother, [[Junko Kaname|Junko]], commented that she has always been a good child and never lies.<ref name='madomagi6'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 6: This Just Can't Be Right]]</ref>

She has low self-confidence, and she believes she does not have much to offer the world unless she is helping people, which makes becoming a Magical Girl appealing to her.<ref name='madomagi3'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 3: I'm Not Afraid of Anything Anymore]]</ref> She has been known to become flustered easily, and in certain circumstances, she can be easily manipulated by others playing on her insecurity and desire to help. As a Magical Girl, she is more obviously confident in herself than before her wish.

Madoka always tries to call other main characters their first names with postfix (-chan or -san) if possible, and boys by their family name with the suffix "-kun". It may indicate that she is eager to get close to others. The only exception is [[Kyosuke Kamijo]]. Madoka might think it is not a good idea to get too close to him since she believes he could potentially become Sayaka's boyfriend. This is confirmed in the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Portable|PSP game]], when Madoka finally calls him by his first name, after Sayaka made advances with him in one of the endings.

[[File:Art 02 00 0013 original.png|thumb|left|Madoka helping Homura up]]
Madoka often tries to help and understand others, even if it doesn’t end particularly well. She’s anxious, scared, and doesn’t fully understand the whole situation, but she desperately tries her best to do so, like when she quickly stops the mass suicide of [[H.N. Elly]]'s Witch kissed victims, knowingly putting herself in danger.<ref name='madomagi4'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 4: Miracles and Magic Are Real]]</ref>

A completely different side of her personality is shown when we see Homura's other timelines. She is shown to be more brave and heoric, working with Mami and being sure of herself. This doesn't come without her usual naivety and kindness, as her wish without Homura's intervening is to save [[Amy]], a cat ran over by a car.<ref name='dramacd1'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Drama CD 1: Memories of You]]</ref> This radical alteration is the result of Homura's interference by preventing her from becoming a Magical Girl that caused a role reversal.

She is shown to be a level-headed person, capable of making decisions on her own. She also displayed to be a quick thinker in some crucial moments, like when she kills a panicked [[Mami Tomoe]] to prevent her killing [[Homura Akemi]]<ref name='madomagi10'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore]]</ref>, or when she intercepts [[Sayaka Miki]], who was trying to Connect with Mami, after seeing that [[Yachiyo Nanami]]'s connect failed.<ref name='anireco20'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 20: You Don't Know Anything]]</ref>

==Wish==
[[File:Episode 12 Madoka Wish.gif|thumb|Madoka making a wish]]
Because Homura has gone through many timelines, trying desperately to save Madoka<ref name='madomagi10'/>, Madoka's wish is not the same in every timeline.

From what we know until now, she contracted with [[Kyubey]] in order to:
* '''Timeline 1 ~ 4''': {{Q|Please, Kyubey! Save [[Amy]]'s life!}} (To revive a cat who had just died in front of her after being hit by a car.) The cat's death was caused by the influence of a familiar ([[Coco]]). This is her original wish, made without Homura's influence.<ref name='s0film0'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 0]]</ref><ref name='s0film1'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 1]]</ref><ref name='s0film2'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 2]]</ref><ref name='s0film3'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 3]]</ref>
** This also seems to be Madoka's wish in both the [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record Game]] and [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Anime|Anime]], as Homura started altering Madoka's wish at the same time when she stopped wearing her glasses<ref name='madomagi10'/><ref name='s0film3'/>, but she's still wearing them in Magia Record.<ref name='magirecoa1prologue'>Shown in [[Magia Record Main Story Arc 1 - Prologue]]</ref><ref name='anireco14'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 14: I Had a Feeling We Could All Become Magical Girls Together]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 5''': {{Q|My wish was... To free [[Charlotte|the Witch]] from ever facing despair again. To take away the regrets and anguish caused by things left undone.}} (For [[Nagisa Momoe]] to be free from her regrets; exact wording unknown).<ref name='s0film4'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 4]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 6''': To relieve [[Sayaka]] from her suffering. (Exact wording unknown).<ref name='s0film5'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 5]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 7''': {{Q|Please, Kyubey! Make a contract with me... and save Sayaka}} (To recover [[Sayaka]]'s Soul Gem after she threw it from a bridge and it got far away from her body). <ref name='s0film6'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 6]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 8''': To prevent Sayaka from turning into a [[Oktavia von Seckendorff|Witch]] (Exact wording unknown).<ref name='s0film7'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 7]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 9 ~ 12''': Like in the penultimate timeline, to either save Homura from [[Walpurgisnacht]] or obtain the power to defeat Walpurgisnacht. Only the last part of her wish is known: "I'm... ...going to change the future!".<ref name='s0film8'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 8]]</ref><ref name='s0film9'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 9]]</ref><ref name='s0film10'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 10]]</ref><ref name='s0film11'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 11]]</ref>
* '''Timeline 13''': {{Q|Please, Kyubey! Please save Mabayu from despair...!}}<ref name='s0film12'>Shown in [[Scene 0 Film 12]]</ref>
*'''Unordered Timelines''':
** {{Q|I hope Dad, Mom, and Tatsuya can always be happy... That's the wish I made.}} (Exact wording unknown).<ref name='portablesayaka'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route]]</ref>
*** Since Homura is still wearing glasses when Madoka tells her about her wish, this timeline takes place sometime between Timeline 2 and 3.
** {{Q|Please turn Sayaka back into a normal human!}}<ref name='portablemadoka'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Portable Madoka Route]]</ref>
** To become an additional fighting force for Homura and [[Kyoko]] against Walpurgisnacht. (Exact wording unknown).<ref name='portablekyoko'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Portable Kyoko Route]]</ref>
*** Madoka makes a contract with Kyubey immediately after saying to Homura, {{Q|I want to help you guys, too!}}, but the actual contract scene is not shown in the story.
** {{Q|Give me the power to protect Dad, Mom, and Homura!}} (This wish is made following Kyoko becoming a Witch)<ref name='portablekyoko'/>
** To revive [[Sayaka]] (Exact wording unknown).<ref name='differentstory'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica ～The different story～]]</ref>
** {{Q|Please... make me... into a Magical Girl... and make sure that Homura... lives!}}<ref name='homurasrevenge'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Homura's Revenge!]]</ref>
* '''Penultimate Timeline''': To either save Homura from [[Walpurgisnacht]] or obtain the power to defeat Walpurgisnacht (Exact wording unknown).<ref name='madomagi10'/>
** In Scene 0 it's revealed the last part of her wish to be: {{Q|I'm... ...going to change the future!}}. This seems to be the same wish made by Madoka each time Homura fights Walpurgisnacht on her own, having the same outcome of Madoka turning into a [[Kriemhild Gretchen|Witch]] that will destroy the Earth in 10 days.
* '''Final Timeline''': {{Q|I wish... I wish I had the power to erase Witches before they're born. Every single Witch from the past, present, and future, everywhere. I don't care what I become. All the Magical Girls who believed in hope and fought Witches, I don't want them to suffer or cry anymore. I want them to be at peace. And if that goes against the laws of the universe, then I'll just rewrite those laws. That's the only thing I want, it's what I wish for. Now! Grant my wish! Incubator!}}<ref name='madomagi12'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 12: My Very Best Friend]]</ref>

==Powers and Abilities==
[[File:Madoka shooting one arrow.gif|thumb|left]]
When contracted as a Magical Girl, Madoka has displayed the ability to create arrows of energy to attack with and even fire several at once to attack several enemies. It is also to be noted that the amount of power she has seems to depend on the timeline her incarnation is located in as in earlier timelines she had less potential. The stronger her potential, the more power and damage she is seen to inflict upon her foes.
[[File:MadokaSealMovie.png|thumb|Madoka's [[Magic#Magic Seals|Magic Seal]]]]
* She can fire an arrow into the sky onto a huge magical sigil which can fire hundreds of arrows at once.<ref name='madomagi12'/>
* She can charge one arrow which will split into several arrows mid-flight. These trigger a series of explosions once they reach their target.<ref name='anireco14'/>

She has also used her bow in creative ways during challenging battles.
* She can use it as a support to descend from ropes, just like in [[Patricia]]'s labyrinth. Additionally, one more person may hang onto her body to descend with her.<ref name='anireco14'/>
* She can use it to "fire" her teammates instead as a projectile. The person will be thrown at a high speed leaving a pink streak behind and may trigger the explosive power at contact just like her regular arrows.<ref name='anireco14'/>
* While in staff mode, she can throw the bow in a javeline-fashion and pierce the enemy.{{Citation needed}}
* She can use her bow as a melee weapon.<ref name='battlepentagram'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Battle Pentagram]]</ref>

Madoka's exact main magical ability in Madoka Magica is never shown, thus it is unknown what it actually was. In the timeline [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]] takes place, it is postulated that Madoka and [[Iroha Tamaki]]'s magic are very similar{{Citation needed}}. As Iroha has healing magic, and Madoka is known to have wished to heal Amy in previous timelines, it is highly likely that she possesses healing magic in this and other timelines.

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Madoka Magica]]===
{{stub}}

* After Mami's death, Madoka changed her mind about becoming a magical girl.
*In [[Episode 6]], Junko and Madoka had a conversation on how difficult it is to do the right thing, even when no one is in the wrong (per say). Junko's advice was for Madoka to be on the wrong against her friend to solve the problem, even if it means that her friend would hate her for it.
* [[Episode 8]]: Kyubey claimed Madoka's power to be godlike, to the point where she could even change the laws of the universe if she wished for it.
* [[Episode 10]]: In the first timeline, Madoka along with Mami saved Homura from a familiar. She died during the fight with Walpurgis Night. In the second timeline, Madoka turned into a witch for the first time, revealing to Homura the link between magical girls and Witches. In a later timeline, Madoka killed Mami in order to save Homura, as Mami lost control of herself and had just killed Kyoko. This is also the timeline in which Madoka asked Homura to go back in time to prevent her from becoming a magical girl. Madoka's power increased exponentially after every timeline. The first time showed she was an ordinary magical girl. In later timeline she had enough power to defeat Walpurgis in one shot, was capable of destroying the entire planet within 10 days in her witch form, and satisfied all Kyubey's energy quotas of the Earth.
* [[Episode 11]]: Junko confronts Madoka to stop her from getting into the danger of the storm, Madoka reminds her mother that she is a good girl and never does anything wrong but she tells her she needs to do this, a throwback to their earlier conversation. Madoka knows that what she is doing will worry her family, but she also knows that she must disobey her mother to save her family and her town. This conversation between Junko and Madoka earns her mother's trust. Homura's time repeats had linked multiple parallel universes together with Madoka's fate as their center. With every reset, Homura would force yet another parallel universe to be centered around Madoka. The accumulated karma is the reason why Madoka's potential power is so great. Hearing the revelations from Kyubey regarding the history of Magical Girls, Madoka was deeply hurt and thus wanted to save these girls from despair.
* [[Episode 12]]: Madoka wished to erase all witches in every dimension, in every timeline, with her own hands. This created a paradox because Madoka would eventually erase her own witch self, while she must continue to exist and destroy other witches. This paradox resulted in Madoka escaping the bounds of reality and ascending to godhood as [[Ultimate Madoka]]. Since Madoka never existed as a human in this new reality, she is no longer remembered by anyone, except for Homura, and Tatsuya for some reason. Sayaka also remembers her after she passes on and becomes a part of the [[Law of Cycles]], as Sayaka confesses to her in episode 12 that she has caused her best friend a lot of trouble; this could be interpreted as Sayaka having learnt of her unfortunate fate of turning into a witch in the other timelines, an outcome which clearly inflicted a great deal of emotional hurt on Madoka.

[[File:Wraithmadoka3.png|thumb|200px|Mutant Madoka]]
A mutant [[Wraith]] disguises itself in Madoka's form and helps to assist Homura throughout the story, even going so far as to join in the battle against the mutant Wraiths.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|Rebellion]]===
As Ultimate Madoka, she enters Homura's Soul Gem with Sayaka Miki and [[Nagisa Momoe]], which is isolated by Kyubey, who plans on testing Witches and luring the Law of Cycles in. Because of Homura's memory manipulation magic, she completelly forgets her powers and status, believing that she is an ordinary Magical Girl She is reunited with her family, who were also taken into Homura's barrier and had their memories altered.

[[File:First nightmare madoka.gif|thumb|left|Madoka fighting Kumanoko no Yume]]
Along with Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, and [[Bebe]] (a disguised Nagisa), Madoka fights [[Nightmare]]s, monsters created by Homura's barrier. Kyubey recognizes Madoka as the Law of Cycles but is unable to determine the nature of her powers. He decides to stay close to Madoka, pretending to be a harmless animal-like helper. Eventually Homura appears in her barrier and joins the other Magical Girls.

Homura's journey of realizing the truth brings her into contact and conflict with the other Magical Girls. Madoka comes to Homura and offers to listen to her problems. Homura tries to tell Madoka about her fate of becoming erased, framing it as a dream she had. Madoka tells Homura that it sounds like a bad dream, and reassures Homura that she would never want to go away to a place where she can't see anyone again. This makes Homura believe that Madoka isn't happy being the Law of Cycles, and that she should have stopped Madoka from sacrificing herself. Homura then decides to believe that Madoka is real (having wondered if Madoka was an illusion), and begins to realize that she herself is the Witch.

Homura transforms into her Witch form, [[Homulilly]], and marches to her death. Fortunately, Sayaka and Nagisa have explained everything to the other Magical Girls, and they have a plan to save Homura. Madoka and Nagisa use their magic to attack the ceiling of Homulilly's barrier, while the other Magical Girls, the summoned familiars, and [[Oktavia]] hold off Homulilly and her army of familiars. Ultimately, Madoka destroys the ceiling of the barrier, revealing Kyubey's Isolation Field. Madoka then reaches out to Homura's humanity and the two girls combine their powers to destroy the Isolation Field from the inside, completely foiling Kyubey's plan.

With the Isolation Field destroyed, all the Magical Girls reappear in the real world. Madoka's memories and powers return to her and she transforms back into Ultimate Madoka. As she comes down to take Homura's Soul Gem into the Law of Cycles, Homura grabs her hands. Homura's Soul Gem turns black, and then fills with a new color, Madoka starts to struggle is then separated from the Law of Cycles. Homura hugs her and takes her into her new world.

Homura has now become a new existence, which she defines as a demon. She explains that she took a piece of the Law of Cycles, which corresponds to Madoka's existence as a person before she became the Law of Cycles. Homura creates a new world where the Magical Girls can be alive and happy, although she alters their memories to fit with the new world. In this new reality, Madoka believes she has spent three years in America with her family, and they have just moved back to Japan. Madoka transfers into her class from the original reality, reversing her role with Homura's. Homura introduces herself to Madoka and offers to show her around the school. As they walk together, Homura asks Madoka how she feels returning to her hometown. Madoka says it feels familiar, but something feels different.
[[File:Madoka remembers.gif|thumb|Madoka almost reconnecting to the Law of Cycles]]
As the keep walking, Madoka realizes that the thing that feels different is herself. Her eyes glow gold, her yellow hair ribbons untie themselves, and reality changes. Homura grabs onto Madoka and says that Madoka is her true self right now, returning Madoka and reality to normal. Homura asks Madoka if she thinks the world is precious, and if she thinks either laws or desires are more important. Madoka thinks that law is more important, saying that selfishly breaking the law is a bad thing. Homura takes off the hair ribbon she received from Madoka and says that she and Madoka might become enemies someday. She ties the ribbon into Madoka's hair, saying that she doesn't care about being Madoka's enemy as she just wants a world where Madoka can be happy. In one of the final scenes of the movie, Madoka is shown happily unpacking boxes with her family.

===In the Drama CDs===
====[[Madoka Magica Drama CD 1: Memories of You|Drama CD 1: Memories of You]]====
{{stub}}
The reason Madoka became a Magical Girl in the first timeline is to save a cat which had been run over by a car. Madoka also treated Homura very nicely from the beginning, who at that time was being bullied. We also learn that whenever Madoka made a contract and become a Magical Girl, she would act much more confident since it gave her a sense of purpose. Madoka's kindness in this first timeline towards Homura is one of the major reasons why Homura is so drawn to her. Homura's interventions during the course of the anime prevented this change.

{{stub}}
Madoka first appears at the very end of volume 1, waking Mami up in her apartment in order to get her help stop Kyoko and Sayaka's fight. She has not contracted yet in this timeline, but accompanies Mami and Sayaka on their Witch hunts.

Madoka is worried about Sayaka, and always thinks how to help her. She tells Kyousuke about how his wrist was healed with Sayaka's wish. This doesn't help Sayaka in the end, however.

Madoka makes her wish to revive Sayaka and becomes a Magical Girl at the very end of this story, this causes Homura to give up on this timeline. Madoka doesn't know the truth about the magical girl system. She thinks Sayaka was killed by Witches because Homura told her so. Madoka meets Kyoko after being helped by her and Homura. They become friends secretly and tell each other about another side of Sayaka and Mami.

Madoka's only appearance in Kazumi Magica is a silhouette, shown during [[Juubey]]'s explanation of the Magical Girl system.

She also makes a single-panel cameo in the extra pages in the first volume of the collected edition.

Madoka first appears in Chapter 3, asking [[Homura]] to go home with her, along with [[Sayaka]] and [[Hitomi]]. She is well protected by Homura and isn't aware of Magical Girl system.

She appears in Chapter 4 for one page. She is shown with her friends Homura, Sayaka and Hitomi going out for snacks after school.

In chapters 5 through 7, Mitakihara Junior High is attacked by [[Oriko]] and [[Kirika]]. Oriko speaks to the school through the school's broadcast system, and seems to give a threatening look to Madoka as she claims she will defeat a [[Kriemhild Gretchen|creature of ultimate despair]] that will descend upon them. As a [[Latria|Witch]]'s barrier forms over the school, Madoka is separated from her friends attacked by familiars. Homura saves her in time, but Madoka demands to know why she does not help the other students. Homura knows she cannot save everyone, and wanted to try to save Madoka anyway. Madoka apologizes as Homura puts her in a protective barrier so familiars cannot attack her and leaves to defeat the perpetrators. Madoka escapes from the protective barrier created by Homura and tries to help Homura with Sayaka and Hitomi. Madoka was Oriko's real target. The white Magical Girl wanted to kill her before she could contract and become a Magical Girl herself, and then the most powerful witch ever. She is killed by Oriko at the very end. Oriko uses a shard of Kirika's witch body to impale Madoka through the torso. Once Oriko dies and the Witch barrier is lifted, Hitomi and Sayaka are seen mourning for Madoka.

In Madoka's Route, the story plays out similarly to the anime except from the ending where it acts out like in [[Madoka Magica Episode 8: I Was Stupid… So Stupid|Episode 8]] where Kyubey asks Madoka to make a wish to save Sayaka. Homura does not make it in time to stop Madoka contracting and she resets. There are also a few minor differences. Madoka remembers her dream of Walpurgisnacht and Homura far more vividly and tells her family at breakfast about it but not Sayaka and Hitomi. She is also visibly distraught about the Witch kissed victims - especially Hitomi - after Sayaka defeats H.N. Elly. She encourages Hitomi to pursue her love interest, not realising it's Kyosuke. She encounters Kyosuke's father after Kyosuke tells him to throw away his violin and persuades him otherwise.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|Mami's Route]]====
[[File:Madoka amy wish psp.png|thumb|Madoka after wishing to save Amy]]
In Mami's Route, Madoka is already a Magical Girl and saves Mami from Charlotte. They decide to team up, with Mami teaching Madoka. It is revealed that Madoka's wish during this route was to save Amy. The route then plays out like [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore|Episode 10]] with Homura and Madoka growing close.

[[File:Madoka crying mami dead psp.png|thumb|left|Madoka crying over Mami]]
If Mami calls for Madoka's help with a Witch kissed victim, the two of them fight [[Gisela]] together. Mami explains her insecurities about Madoka and Homura growing close and perhaps leaving her out and the two of them manage to talk through her feelings, growing closer because of it. Later, the two of them fight Walpurgisnacht together. Mami sacrifices herself to save Madoka and the route plays out just like [[Madoka Magica Episode 10: I Won't Rely On Anyone Anymore|Episode 10]] where Madoka dies and Homura makes her wish.

If Mami does not call for Madoka's help, she fights Gisela alone. Although she defeats the Witch, she falls into despair, becoming [[Candeloro]]. Madoka has to defeat Candeloro but can also die during the fight, causing Homura to make the same wish as if she dies to Walpurgisnacht. Afterwards, Madoka mourns not being able to find a way to turn Candeloro back into Mami.
{{-}}

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route|Sayaka's Route]]====
In Sayaka's Route, Madoka is already a magical girl alongside Mami and Homura still with her glasses. During the route, the three of them intercept a fight between Sayaka and Kyoko. The team were unaware Sayaka was a magical girl and they team up. Later, after Sayaka and Kyoko escape Charlotte's labyrinth, Sayaka discards her Soul Gem, thinking she is worthless as a magical girl. Madoka and Homura find her unconscious and seemingly dead. The two of them go hunting for Sayaka's Soul Gem which ended up in Charlotte's labyrinth.

If her Soul Gem is found, Sayaka fights Walpurgisnacht with Madoka and Homura. The three of them aren't able to defeat Walpurgisnacht but the town is evacuated in time. Both Madoka and Sayaka die and Homura resets.

If Sayaka doesn't meet with Kyoko after regaining her Soul Gem, she falls into despair and turns into Oktavia. The route plays out similar to Episode 9 where Kyoko sacrifices herself to defeat Oktavia. After this, Madoka falls into a deep depression, locking herself in her room. Homura manages to get through to her and they prepare for Walpurgisnacht but it plays out the same way.

If Sayaka's Soul Gem isn't found by Madoka and Homura, Kyoko finds it instead and Sayaka awakens. However, since so much time had passed, Sayaka's body had begun to rot. She unknowingly visits Kyosuke in this state and very quickly falls into despair with the events playing out like the previous path.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Kyoko Route|Kyoko's Route]]====
In Kyoko's Route, Madoka first plays a vital role when she throws Sayaka's Soul Gem just like in the anime with the same results. Madoka tries to console Sayaka about the new discovery but Sayaka is already torn up about Hitomi telling her about her feelings for Kyosuke. Madoka ponders making a contract with Kyubey but both Sayaka and Kyoko tell her not to. The route then plays out similarly to [[Madoka Magica Episode 9: I'd Never Allow That to Happen|Episode 9]] where Sayaka becomes [[Oktavia]] at the train station and Kyoko and Madoka try to turn her back however Homura has already killed Oktavia when they arrive.

If Kyoko's Soul Gem isn't too dark, Madoka manages to stop Kyoko from advancing on Homura and she leaves. Madoka and Kyoko converse in Kyoko's father's church, the two growing closer. Kyoko and Homura attempt to defeat Walpurgisnacht but fail with Madoka contracting and becoming Kriemhild Gretchen.

If Kyoko's Soul Gem is too dark after Homura kills Oktavia, she transforms into her Witch, [[Ophelia]], which Homura kills. Madoka becomes depressed after both Sayaka and Kyoko were killed in such a short time and tries to visit Homura. Homura continues to tell her not to contract and also asks her not to visit her anymore. Walpurgisnacht comes and the events play out similarly to any failed timeline.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Homura Route|Homura's Route]]====
In Homura's Route, Madoka and Sayaka are called by Kyubey to help just like in the anime.

If Homura chooses to capture Kyubey, Homura tells the two of them to leave as she defeats Gertrud in the abandoned building. The next day Kyubey explains Magical Girls to the two girls, explaining that Homura is a Magical Girl herself. Homura however soon arrives, sending Kyubey away and warning that becoming a magical girl means giving up on everything else except your wish. Later in the evening, Homura visits Madoka's home to warn her further. Just like in the anime, Mami suggests to Madoka and Sayaka that they join her on a witch hunt to understand magical girls but differently, Homura stops this idea. That night, Homura meets Madoka and Sayaka on the street and has dinner with them. Homura, in her own words, tells them about magical girls. She also tells them that she became a magical girl to save an important friend. If Homura instead chooses to kill Kyubey on the first day, another Kyubey merely appears and approaches Madoka similarly to the anime.

Homura has to stop Sayaka from contracting. If Homura asks Madoka to deal with it she visits her home. Although Madoka is busy when Homura visits, she promises to contact Sayaka. Despite both their best efforts, Sayaka contracts anyway. Madoka is surprised and concerned but Sayaka states that she is confident with her decision. If Homura instead decides to stop Sayaka contracting herself, Sayaka refuses Kyubey's offer realising there may be another way to help Kyosuke. The next day Homura finds Hitomi and Madoka along with people affected by a witch's kiss attempting to commit mass suicide. Homura defeats the witch after asking Madoka to leave. Later, Homura stops Kyosuke from committing suicide and decides its best to look after Sayaka. She can either look after her herself or ask Madoka. If Homura looks after Sayaka herself she will contract.

If Sayaka has contracted, Kyubey begins to approach Madoka to usher her into becoming a magical girl to aid Sayaka. Homura continues to stop Kyubey's efforts. Madoka is worried about Sayaka and Homura meets her to talk. Their talk is similar to what occurs in episode five; however, this time, Homura promises to take care of Sayaka and Mami, warning Madoka once again not to make a contract. Later, Homura finds the barrier of the Albertine's familiars, and discovers Sayaka and Kyoko fighting inside. Even worse, Madoka is also present, so she goes to separate them. She then asks Madoka to bring the hurt Sayaka away and consults Kyoko on what to do next. Kyoko says she has no interest in fighting familiars so she leaves everything to Homura. The next evening, Homura finds Madoka coming to her for help. Kyoko and Sayaka are fighting on the overpass. Homura requests Kyoko fight her instead. Kyoko thinks it almost impossible to win, so she pretends to give up. However, she strikes Sayaka's Soul Gem when Homura is off guard. Sayaka's Soul Gem drops onto a truck, continuing the story as per the anime. If Mami is alive, instead, her Soul Gem is knocked away. The next day, Hitomi confesses her feelings to Sayaka with both Madoka and Homura trying to console her but Sayaka insists on being left alone. Homura finds Madoka having an argument with Hitomi. Hitomi refuses Madoka's suggestions and leaves. Madoka wonders if Sayaka won't listen to her because she isn't a magical girl. Homura says that Sayaka wouldn't listen even if she were, and counsels that they just keep watch for now. Later, Sayaka is missing with nobody knowing where she is and her Soul Gem in a darkened state.

If Homura goes to search for Sayaka with Kyoko, Sayaka is found easily and the four magical girls plan for Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey comes to Madoka's house and tells her the history of magical girls and witches and the theory of energy transformation. Madoka visits Homura because she is worried about her and the other girls. Homura acts the same way as she did in the anime, hugging Madoka and confessing her true identity. Walpurgisnacht comes to Mitakihara and all of the magical girls are ready to fight. Madoka is with them, wishing to be of help. Homura then tells Madoka and everyone else that the very person she wishes to save and who she made her contract for is Madoka. Everything is meaningless for Homura if something bad happens to Madoka. Madoka agrees to leave, consoling herself by praying for the girls' safety. The fight against Walpurgisnacht begins. After Walpurgisnacht is defeated, Madoka meets up with the others and is dismayed to see everyone badly wounded. Homura reassures her that magic can heal them all. Sometime later, on the way to school, Sayaka mentions that the number of witches has greatly declined of late. Madoka worries that this might lead to a lack of Grief Seeds, but Homura has ensured that the girls have plenty stockpiled: since they won't have to use their magic to fight Witches, the Grief Seeds that are left will last them a long time. Mami holds a tea party, claiming it is going to be an operational meeting. Everyone goes to Mami's tea party and Sayaka forces Kyoko to put on one of Mami's spare school uniforms. The scenario ends with a picture of the girls having their tea party, with the line 'This is my prayer, my wish...' written in English appearing on the screen.

If Homura goes to search for Sayaka with Madoka, the two of them search at a resteraunt where they meet Kyousuke and Hitomi hand in hand. Madoka congratulates them and leaves, upset that Kyousuke doesn't know Sayaka's feelings for him. Homura replies that a magical girl should not expect a reward. The next day, Homura finds Sayaka, who has just finished fighting familiars. Sayaka refuses Homura's offer of a Grief Seed, and she critizes Madoka for not understanding her (as in episode eight). She then runs away, and Homura knows that it is impossible to rescue her.

If Homura goes to search for Sayaka with Mami they find her in the park. This route gives a similar result as if Homura searched with Madoka. Sayaka falls into despair, becoming Oktavia. ''Homura can either kill the Witch immediately or tell the other girls the truth about Witches.''

If Homura decides to kill Oktavia, she tells the others that Sayaka is already dead, with Oktavia killing her and that they must avenge her. Madoka arrives once Oktavia is dead. Homura tells Madoka to remember the pain she feels upon hearing of Sayaka's death, so that she should never think about becoming a magical girl again. The next day, Madoka and Homura are walking together to school, and they see Hitomi asking if Sayaka has appeared today. They don't tell her that she is gone. Madoka, Homura, Mami and Kyoko hold a funeral for Sayaka. Since Madoka can't say goodbye to Sayaka, Mami suggests they make new resolutions for the future. Some time later, Kyubey comes to Madoka's room to tell her that Sayaka had become a witch, and so too will the other magical girls. Madoka doesn't understand it, so she goes to Homura. Homura explains that Kyubey is an Incubator, an alien with inhuman codes of morality. She then explains what Kyubey should have said to Madoka. Homura says she only hopes to change Madoka's fate and breaks into tears as in episode eleven. After Madoka leaves, Kyubey comes to tell Homura why Madoka can become such an extraordinary magical girl. This route ends with the girls being unable to defeat Walpurgisnacht and Madoka contracting.

If Homura tells them the truth about Witches they leave Oktavia's barrier. Madoka arrives with Homura still holding Sayaka's body so she has to tell her the truth as well. Madoak runs away, unable to face the situation. ''After this, Homura can either kill Oktavia herself or follow Madoka and Kyoko into her barrier.''

[[File:Madoka Portable Homura Goodnight.jpg|thumb|Madoka crying over Homura]]
If Homura decides to kill Oktavia herself, Kyoko is furious and wants to kill Homura for destroying her last hope of saving Sayaka but Madoka stops her, saying it won't bring Sayaka back to life. Kyoko cuts all ties with Homura then and there, saying she never wants to see her again before leaving. The next day, Madoka asks why Homura killed Sayaka. Homura explains that it was impossible to bring Sayaka back and that Kyoko would have just put Madoka in danger for no reason. They have the same meeting as in episode 11. When Walpurgisnacht comes, Madoka comes to Homura. Homura asks her to go to the refuge, but Madoka says she doesn't want to forget her time spent with Homura; that she doesn't want the happiness of an ordinary girl. Homura replies that Madoka is her only hope, so she has to survive. Homura finally defeats Walpurgisnacht and ends up dying to save Madoka. After her last words Kyubey remarks that, although Homura stopped his plans this time, he need only wait until another crisis strikes Mitakihara.

If Homura instead follows the two girls she interferes before Oktavia attacks Madoka. With no other choice, she kills Oktavia. She tells the two that Sayaka's Soul Gem didn't emerge and Kyoko leaves, distraught. Madoka reminds Homura that Mami is shocked, too, so they go to Mami's place. Since she isn't at home, Madoka thinks she must be in the park. When they arrive at the park, they see Mami preparing to commit suicide. Madoka stops her, and Homura reassures Mami that she can always call on her fellow magical girls. They still have a mission: to defeat Walpurgisnacht and protect the people of Mitakihara. Finally Mami is convinced and agrees to prepare for Walpurgisnacht. This route ends with Madoka making a contract.

If Sayaka doesn't contract, Hitomi offers Kyosuke help from a doctor her father knows who has helped an injured musician before. Sayaka realises her feelings for Kyosuke and tells him with him accepting her confession. Now that Sayaka and Kyosuke are together, Madoka grows lonely so one day visits the music store with Homura. Madoka tells Homura that she feels like they have met somewhere before, and recently she has seen Homura in her dreams. Homura answers that they hadn't met one another until she transferred into Mitakihara Middle School. Homura keeps a distance between herself and Madoka, so as not to let Madoka grow attached enough to her to make a contract for her. Several days later, however, Kyoko tells Homura that Kyubey had told her that Madoka has vast [[potential]] as a Magical Girl. Homura interrupts, saying she won't allow Madoka to become a magical girl. Kyoko finally knows the person Homura wants to protect is Madoka. She tells Homura that it is useless for her to convince Madoka not to make a contract. Madoka invites Homura to her home for dinner. Although Homura originally thinks it is a bad idea, she is finally convinced and eats dinner with the Kaname family. After dinner, Madoka tells Homura that she is welcome to come and visit her any time. Homura thinks this will be okay, after she defeats Walpurgisnacht. By now, Kyubey is anxious because Madoka seems to have no interest in making a contract. As such, he decides to tell everything to her. As in the anime, Madoka visits Homura's house afterwards. Homura defeats Walpurgisnacht and Madoka never contracts.

====[[Madoka Magica Portable Bonus Route|Bonus Route]]====
In the Bonus Route Homura strives to help each girl individually. Madoka sees how everyone has changed themselves and she is worried about herself. However, she doesn't know how she should change. Homura comes to her room and slaps her after Madoka talks about how useless she feels. Homura requests that Madoka not change herself.

** The film from Homura and Madoka's Scene 0 4 star Cards mirror each other.
* Madoka and Homura are the only main characters in the original anime to appear in all 12 episodes.

==Observations==
* It is suggested that the reason Madoka is so miserable is that she wishes for power in order to be selfless so that she won't be miserable any more. Kyubey uses this to manipulate Madoka's thinking into making her wish through her guilt. He tries to manipulate Madoka into a belief that she can be free from her misery by making a selfless wish.
** Without the wish and the life experience as a Magical Girl, Madoka's character never grows and develops into a courageous heroine. However, her life experience as a scared teenage girl, constantly crying and mourning the death of so many, always wanting to do what's right yet feeling powerless, the failure of attempting to save friends and strangers, and the sorrow she feels for the victims of innocent girls deceived by a calculating cold alien allows Madoka to finally develop the courage to confront her fears to save Homura and the world, instead of succumbing to despair and running away. In other words Madoka finally grows up. The scene with her mother in Episode 11 leaves that impression.
* It is speculated that any wish Madoka ever made would be twisted because of the nature of the wish, according to [[Episode 11]]. Kyubey suspects that as long as the motives are selfish, the wish will always be twisted because the wishers' desire would always fail to meet their expectation.
** Madoka may have realized that as long as her thinking was selfish or incorrect, then her wish would also be twisted. It is suspected that Madoka contemplates what to do to save Homura and her town in [[Episode 11]], without being caught into the snare of the wish's trap. It is suspected that Madoka goes from wanting to be selfless for selfish reasons to wanting to be selfless for selflessness itself. By removing Madoka's selfish desire from her wish, she literally removes her self and her physical presence as a consequence.
*** A philosophical analysis tries to determine Madoka's motive [[Talk:Philosophical_Observations#Madoka_and_Minding_her_Motive|here]].
* An argument can be said that Madoka has two ways to develop her courage. One is through Kyubey by magic (which is the easiest path); the other way is more difficult and hurtful, the painful life experience and lessons she receives through friends, family members, and from strangers. But the most influential character in Madoka's life would be her mother; her source of wisdom, courage, and strength.

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "deer" ({{lang|ja|鹿}}) and "eye"({{lang|ja|目}}), respectively.
* Madoka could also mean "wish" or "ambition" or "flower".
** The name Madoka can be written with the character for "circle" or "round" in kanji ({{lang|ja|円}}) reflecting the cyclical nature of the Magical Girl-Witch Incubator relationship as well as the circular repetition of timelines that revolve around her. It could also be written with the character for "wish" or "ambition"; the connotations of that should be obvious. Her last name, Kaname, can also be read as "pivot" or "vital point", which is apt to say the least due to Homura's time-meddling making Madoka's existence the pivotal point of every timeline she creates.

* In the Magia Record Anime there are multiple in-universe products of Candy, such as a plush owned by [[Iroha Tamaki]] and digital stickers. This suggests that Candy is an in-universe character of a brand like [[Baby Bunny]] and [[Mocha Bunny]], possibly being made by the same brand (as the brand is known for their bunny characters and Mocha Bunny also has [[:File:Episode 11 Yachiyo's Gift 8.png|stickers]]). Its possible that the Magical Girl that eventually became the Witch version of Candy was heavily related to the character.
* In her Labyrinth (both in the game and the anime), there is a drawing of a young blonde girl in her school uniform, which might indicate her civilian form before becoming a Witch.

==Trivia==
* During one of Candy's attacks her head will split open revealing what appears to be a female pelvis inside.
* In the anime, Candy remains relatively unchanged except for the buttons that ornament her dress.
* Although she is described as being known to "impale things with spears", she is never shown to do so in the game or anime.
** However, her barrier contains needle-like objects which impales several doll heads and other objects, which matches the description.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht: Rising-/Speculation

2026-09-16T18:27:34Z

WizardFlower: /* Main Theories */

{{Note|Because these theories have been made over time, please try to tag **when** your theories were added to this page. This page is not a "traditional" speculation page and will be updated post-release to confirm, deny, or generally update the contents.}}

==Main Theories==
{{Theory|status=unknown
|*It is likely that the [[Concept movie]] was an early preview for ''Walpurgisnacht: Rising''. This is further supported by the fact that some lines from the concept movie are present in the fourth movie as well as showing prototype concept art for ''Walpurgisnacht Rising's'' new original characters.
*The first trailer and its poster shows multiple [[Homura]]'s in a single shot. It is possible that the movie deals with either a multiverse or doppelgangers.
**Alternatively, multiple timelines could be merging together.
**Alternatively, based on similar costume elements such as the design of one Homura's headband, the [[Clara Dolls]] are capable of assuming her form.
**Almost all of the returning girls have a new form/design. This may further promote this theory.
*The new magical girl from the first trailer incorporates design elements from most of the [[Holy Quintet]].
** Her amalgamate outfit and her lack of a defined face in the trailer may suggest that she is intended to be a representation for the average Magical Girl in Homura's new universe.
** Alternatively it could be the embodiment of the Law of Cycles, trying to remember Madoka's past. This could explain her lack of a face as a way to hide her signature golden eyes.
*Madoka has a different outfit in the teaser poster and in the 1.1 visual. The poster could be Homura grasping for her old life, and the new Madoka design representing the coming future (which Homura has shackled, as shown by the padlock).
*The official site says that the movie is "the beginning of a new chapter". This probably means this will not be the finale to the series.
*It's possible that [[Homulilly]] transforms into Walpurgisnacht. Devil Homura is the opposite of Ultimate Madoka just as Walpurgisnacht is the opposite of [[Kriemhild Gretchen]]. Additionally, Homulilly's head is cut off just like Walpurgisnacht's head. Furthermore, the gears under Walpurgisnacht's dress could also correlate with Homura's old power of time manipulation.
*The new orange-haired girl seen alongside Kyubey in the trailer could be the bear girl from [[Episode 12]], but also incorporates designs from the pincushion Magical Girl seen in the Concept Movie.
**The bear girl was also seen in the [[Concept Movie]].
*The new magical girls could be the human forms of witches from the original anime.
**The green-haired girl could be the human form of [[Elsa Maria]], as evidenced by the trees and rays of sunlight surrounding her, both elements present in Elsa Maria's labyrinth. The plant motif could also allude to her being [[Gertrud]].
***The Magia Exedra 100-Day Trailer shows her riding on [[Bona]]s, which can be suggested that she could be the human form of [[Paola]]. However, she could also be simply having the ability to control Familiars.
**The orange-haired girl could be the human form of [[Albertine]], as her being depicted in a ball pit with Nagisa implies she may be similar in age, or is at least childish. Bright colors, like the balls she's surrounded by, are also a key feature of [[Elly]]'s labyrinth.
***The Magia Exedra 100-Day Trailer and poster shows her Magical Girl outfit having pins and needles, and occasionally hugs Kyubey, which can be suggested that she could be the human form of [[Quitterie]] or the [[Madoka_Magica_Mobage_Witches#Witch_of_Sewing|Witch of Sewing]].
**It's also possible the new girls are part of [[Walpurgisnacht]] herself.
*The new girl in the SIDE Homura trailer may have abilities allowing her to duplicate herself, shown by multiple versions of her looking at Madoka's phone.
**The new girl was also seen in the Concept Movie.
*The green-haired girl and the orange-haired girl have a black undershirt for their school uniforms, a trait they share with the new Homura-copy. It's possible they are the retainers for Devil Homura like Sayaka and Nagisa are for Ultimate Madoka.

*The scene where a book depicting Witches and Familiars, when taking a closer look, contains Witches from Magia Record such as [[Zenobia]], indicating these Witches DO exist within the Madoka Magica timelines.
**Existing witches such as [[Gisela]] and [[Albertine]] use their updated appearance from Magia Record.
***This isn't the case in [[:File:Trailer (July 15th, 2025) (15).PNG|this screenshot]], where [[Roberta]] and the previously shown [[Gisela]] use their original appearances.
**Witches from the Magia Record Event [[Magia Record Story Alina's Atelier ~Factor of Despair~|Alina's Atelier ~Factor of Despair~]] also appear.
***[[Pennen Nolde]], the Witch form of [[Touka Satomi]], can be barely seen to the right of [[:File:Walpurgisnacht Rising Trailer 2 Runes (17).png|this screenshot]], even though {{spoiler|in [[Ultimate Madoka in Magia Record|Ultimate Madoka]]'s Magical Girl Story, Touka did not become a Magical Girl outside of the Magia Record timeline and thus the Witch was only born as a Doppel.}}
** It's possible that the book was made by the Law of Cycles, with Witches being collected from multiple universes every time the Law of Cycles would take a Magical Girl in. ''(This was added 2026/07/03)''

*Following the release of the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_the_Movie_-Walpurgisnacht:_Rising-#Main_Trailer_(June_29th,_2026)|Main Trailer]], some fans speculate that the "Mystery Girl" seen wearing what appear to be Homura's glasses to be an [[Irregularity|irregular]] [[Incubator]].
**Others speculate that the girl herself is nothing more than a Clara Doll, given the existence of "red strings" that seem to move with her in the latest trailers.

* The reason Mami, Kyoko, Sayaka and Nagisa and maybe Homura have different Magical Girl forms is because their powers have been stolen by Wraiths/the Mystery Girl. Looking at Mamis new outfit she's lost her ribbons and Sayaka is covered in bandages (though parts similar to Oktavia are visible there, bandages imply someone being hurt, so her enhance healing power AND her base Magical Girl healing being gone were replaced by Oktavia manifesting). Kyoko had her power blocked as seen in Different Story, so this could have removed the block as her outfit looks more royal, fitting for an illusionist.
** The mystery girl bears a striking resemblance to Homura and has her bow, meaning that she's a Mutated Wraith, similar to Wraith Arc, or that she's a creation of Homura. The red string connected to her clearly implies a lack of agency on her part. On the other hand, her first appearance had her be engulfed by red fabric, similar to Mami when she bound Homura in the original series and Rebellion. However, she also grabbed the ribbons, implying some level of control as well. It is possible this is when she stole Mami's power. Her shirt is also very similar to Mami's original shirt as well, not to mention the corset. We know from Wraith Arc that the bow is also connected to the emotion of Homura's love for Madoka, so it being lost could play in different ways depending on whether Homura is in control of the other end of the red string or not. Mutated Wraiths have ben shown to turn against normal Wraiths depending on the cause of the mutation.
** Lilac and Selema entering the story could happen at the same time as Homura getting her power stolen. It is possible that the Wraiths were either able to steal Devil Homura's emotions themselves, letting the girls from the Law of Cycles enter Homura's world, or the Wraiths were empowered by the Law of Cycles directly. The silhouettes of eyes appear near them, the same as the faceless girls seen behind Madoka who are almost certainly from the Law of Cycles.
** (This was added 2026/07/03)
* Nakuzasokotsune and Walpurgisnacht were originally the "afterlife" for Magical Girls. Concept Art and the original print of the manga, clowns around Walpurgisnacht also shaped like Sayaka, Kyoko and Mami. The latest Walpurgisnacht: Rising trailer showed a nun, possibly Saint Walpurga herself, who made a wish similar to Madoka's to grant Salvation to Magical Girls. Whether the Nakuzasokotsune was formed then, naturally formed before that, or simply fused to Walpurgisnacht after her wish, or after she became a Witch, the result was the same in that she became the afterlife after that, also absorbing more Witches as it went on. In an Interview, it was revealed that Walpurgisnacht was originally the Theatre Witch, before it collected more Witches around it and grew bigger.

==Maaya Sakamoto==
{{Theory|status=unknown|date_proposed=2026-07-20
|It was proposed that the voice actress heard at the end of the main trailer is none other than Maaya Sakamoto.

* This is due to a combination of factors, several of which happen to align.
* In an interview, seiyuu for Sakura Kyoko mentioned that they had completed recording sessions with a "legendary" seiyuu.<ref>https://x.com/accelerator0103/status/2002676824690794500</ref> Following the release of the seiyuu for [[Selma Therese]] and Chouka, fans noted that while respectable, neither garnered the label of "legendary".
* Some fans in hearing those last lines at the end of the main trailer "Oh, how precious." (in JP) heard this as Maaya Sakamoto's voice independent of theories.
* She has been in the industry for quite some time, and is incredibly well known for not only her voicework but also her singing.
* She has prior production work with [[SHAFT]], including for [[wikipedia:Bakemonogatari|Bakemonogatari]].
* Maaya Sakamoto also has prior with with [[Gekidan Inu Curry]], including works that predate the Madoka project.<ref>https://www.productionig.com/contents/works_sp/54_/s08_/000715.html</ref>
** One of these collaborations include the following quote:
** "Lighthouse" is one of the key themes for Maaya Sakamoto when she writes lyrics."<ref>https://www.productionig.com/contents/works_sp/54_/s08_/000715.html</ref>
** This would further explain why the Union Phone from [[Magia Exedra]] appears in the Main Trailer; as the normal location of the Union Phone is in the [[Lighthouse Theatre]].

Analysis of the cage suggests that the contents of the cage are the Union Phone from [[Magia Exedra]].<ref>Timestamp is 00:15.</ref> While the purpose is unknown, it's speculated upon by some this is how some of the cast members "enter" the story, or "exit" the [[Law of Cycles]].

*The [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_the_Movie_-Walpurgisnacht:_Rising-#Trailer_1_(September_10th,_2023)|1st Trailer]] shows a girl jumping into an area with "Wraith" written in a stylized font in Japanese, English and German, the font has never been seen before. Magia Exedra's font file used for enemy names, first found during the first few days after the game's release (March/April 2025), containing Witch Runes and other magical text, happens to include the Japanese rendition of the word "Wraith" from that trailer, though as of August 14th, 2026, has never been visibly used in the game. It's unclear what the relevance of this rendition of the word Wraith is to either the game or the movie.

{{Theory|status=debunked|date_proposed=2025-04-26|date_updated=2026-07-02
|[[File:WnK Ai Speculah.png|thumb]]
*The girl with the bow is shown jumping off a tower and getting absorbed by a cloud witch-like being; while this could be her jumping to a witch's barrier it's very similar to the [[Uwasa of the Anonymous AI|Rumor of "Anonymous"]] from [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]].
**Apart from the obvious jumping off a tower connection, many other things like the [[:File:MadokaJump.png|green digital boxes]] that appear when she jumps, the [[:File:WitchCloud.jpg|japanese characters]] that appear when she's absorbed or the [[:File:WalpurgisRisingCloud2.gif|digital-like background]] when she's falling all seem to point to the Uwasa of the Anonymous AI.

==Trivia==
* According to [https://x.com/gekidaninucurry/status/1510944750324514817 Doroinu], the anime's story is partially inspired by the Japanese singer-songwriter [[wikipedia:Doji Morita|Doji Morita]].
* Due to a large amount of character appearing in the story, only a limited number of Magical Girls have received transformation sequences. These are Iroha Tamaki (episodes 1, 3 and 24), Yachiyo Nanami (episods 3 and 15), Rena Minami (episode 3), Momoko Togame (episode 3), Felicia Mitsuki (episode 6), Kyoko Sakura (episode 7), Madoka Kaname (episode 14), Homura Akemi (episode 14), Kuroe (episode 18) and Ui Tamaki, Touka Satomi, Nemu Hiiragi (episode 22)
** Magia Record marks the first time a group transformation sequence is shown, since Ui, Touka and Nemu transform simultaneously and not one after the other as in ''The Rebellion Story'' or episode 3's transformations.

[[File:Kyoko making friends.gif|thumb|left|Kyoko offering a snack to Homura]]
Kyoko first appeared as a Magical Girl who came from another town to take over Mami's turf after hearing of her death.<ref name='madomagi4'/> She was initially introduced as a callous, arrogant Magical Girl who simply has supernatural powers and had abandoned the premise of justice and benevolence.<ref name='madomagi5'/> In short, she didn't hesitate in any sense in using her magic powers for her own selfish benefit and did not mind sacrificing humans to Familiars if it meant obtaining a Grief Seed.<ref name='madomagi5'/>

Kyoko was the elder daughter of a preacher.<ref name='madomagi7'/> Her father started to deviate from regular doctrine and was excommunicated for it - Kyoko used her wish to get her father more followers; however, upon finding this out, her father went insane and killed the entire family except Kyoko, then committed suicide by hanging himself from the church ceiling.<ref name='madomagi7'/> After her family's death, Kyoko was introduced to the principles of "Dog eat dog world", "you get what you pay for" and "Kill or be killed/Eat or be eaten" and started to live by them.<ref name='madomagi7'/> She uses her magic and other abilities mainly for herself due to the belief that helping somebody else will only result in something bad.<ref name='madomagi6'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 6: This Just Can't Be Right]]</ref>

[[File:Kyopraying.gif|thumb|left|Kyoko in prayer]]
Kyoko seems abrasive and selfish but has a somewhat soft side as well.<ref name='madomagi7'/> She values food a lot and chastises those who waste it.<ref name='madomagi5'/> After her father lost supporters, Kyoko and her family nearly starved.<ref name='madomagi7'/> She may have experienced trauma from her family's death giving her an eating disorder of sorts, or erasing the memory of hunger. She is rather tomboyish, with barely any femininity at all if any. This is where she differs from Sayaka's boyishness: whereas Sayaka has a bit of a girlish streak due to the fact that she is interested in romance, Kyoko only demonstrates a nice side, and likes stories with happy endings. Rebellion shows that under normal circumstances, Kyoko has the typical attitude of a lazy, slackerish schoolgirl, and loses many of the abrasive points of her personality.<ref name='rebellion'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]]</ref>

She seems to be very faithful in God, as she prays to God to show her a "happy dream" during her final moments in the fight against [[Oktavia von Seckendorff|Oktavia]].<ref name='madomagi9'>Shown in [[Madoka Magica Episode 9: I'd Never Allow That to Happen]]</ref> It's uncertain what exactly this means, but presumably she is pleading to be shown something happy like her family all being alive and happy, in the form of a dream, or to allow her to die peacefully and ascend to Heaven.
<div style='clear: left;'/>

==Powers and Abilities==
[[File:Episode 5 Sayaka Launch.gif|thumb|left|Kyoko's multi-joint spear]]
Kyoko is seen to be quite the skilled fighter due to being a Magical Girl veteran similar to Mami.<ref name='madomagi5'/> Her spear has been seen not only to cause devastating injuries but to split apart into a chain-like state in which she can use to wrap up foes and throw them around.<ref name='madomagi5'/> She can also use this form of her spear to gather up enemies and attack several at once.<ref name='anireco7'>Shown in [[Magia Record Episode 7: I Want to Go Home with You]]</ref> These spears have been seen to also be able to be summoned out of the ground to create walls to keep enemies away from others<ref name='madomagi5'/> or to simply pike enemies.<ref name='DS3'>Shown in [[The Different Story: Episode 3]] </ref> <ref>''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc]]'' - Chapter 7 </ref> Her Magia from [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]] involves her riding one of these giant spears into an enemy to cause an explosion.<ref name='magireco'>Shown in [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]</ref> Though in the original anime, it is shown that by sacrificing her soul gem, she can cause an explosion similar to the effectiveness of a missile by breaking it with her spear.<ref name='madomagi9'/>

[[File:Episode 9 Kyoko Barrier.gif|thumb|right|Kyoko creating a lattice barrier to protect Madoka]]
Her main magical ability is that of illusion as a result of her wish.<ref name='dramacd3'/> With this she would have been able to make people believe what she wanted them to.<ref name='dramacd3'/> She was even able to use the ability to create copies of herself to fool the enemy in combat<ref name='dramacd3'/> and this ability seems to carry over to her Witch form, [[Ophelia]].<ref name='portablekyoko'/> Her special attack involving these copies was called Rosso Fantasma (Red Phantom) where she and they would all pierce the enemy with several strikes at once.<ref name='dramacd3'/> Yet, due to personal reasons she has seemingly lost this ability as she does not use it in the anime and other timelines that take place.<ref name='dramacd3'/>

She has also been seen to be able to create walls out of red diamonds which are formed much like a lattice.<ref name='madomagi5'/> These can serve as a form of protection for herself or her allies as she has been shown to form barriers from them, these barriers were durable enough to deflect some of Oktavia's wheels.<ref name='madomagi9'/> She can also keep people out of areas or trap them with these barriers if she wishes.<ref name='madomagi5'/> These lattice barriers are also able to have weapons affixed to the end of them and can be used as a way to direct the weapons onto a target.<ref name='rebellion'/>

In the [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]] universe, when her Soul Gem turns black Kyoko is able to summon her [[Doppel]], [[Ophelia]].<ref name='magireco'/> Ophelia has shown to be able to grant Kyoko increased agility as she rides upon it but also the ability to cause a devastating explosion of fire with an enlarged spear that the Doppel summons for Kyoko.<ref name='magireco'/> Kyoko herself can also tie up or trap her enemies using the binding tools that Ophelia summons to keep them from moving.<ref name='magireco'/>

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Madoka Magica]]===
{{stub}}
* In episode 6 when she approaches Sayaka as she is about to visit Kyosuke, Kyoko scoffs at Sayaka's wish. She states that if she wanted him that badly, she should just go in and break his hands and legs, leaving him crippled and so that he would have to rely entirely on Sayaka so they could be together forever.

*Kyoko, in an effort to restore Sayaka to normal after she became a witch, takes Madoka to Oktavia's lair. After taking many hits defending herself and watching Madoka's attempts to reach her prove futile, Kyoko "sacrifices" herself to stop Oktavia and save Madoka. This also allowed Homura, who had just arrived, to rescue Madoka and leave the witch's lair with her.

*In a previous timeline, Kyoko is killed by a mentally broken Mami after the fight with Oktavia. Having gone mad after learning what happens to magical girls with time, Mami shot and destroyed Kyoko's Soul Gem, killing her in what she saw as a mercy kill that would save Kyoko from becoming a witch.

*Kyoko is brought back to life by Madoka's wish in Episode 12

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Wraith Arc|Wraith Arc]]===
[[File:Wakyoko.jpg|thumb|Kyoko in ''Wraith Arc'']]
Kyoko makes her first appearance in chapter 1 alongside Mami as they hunt down [[Wraith]]s in the city, with Kyoko complaining about letting a large 'trophy' Wraith get away from them earlier. After Sayaka encounters and is unsuccessful in capturing the giant Wraith, Kyoko taunts and teases her until the two girls end up in a small scuffle, in which Kyoko is victorious. After a few more battles in the following days, Kyoko is seen coming to Sayaka's rescue against several Wraiths. Sayaka has been distracted lately and it's effecting them in battle. Afterwards, Kyoko is angry with Sayaka's airheadedness and tells Mami to use up the Grief Cubes on herself after Sayaka initially declines them. After Mami leaves, Kyoko ascertains correctly that Sayaka's lack of focus is due to Hitomi and the boy she likes, Kyosuke. She tells Sayaka that the solution to her problems is to allow a Wraith to eat Hitomi's feelings, which causes Sayaka is retaliate in anger calling Kyoko the worst kind of Magical Girl there is. Sayaka challenges Kyoko to a rematch. Despite Kyoko gaining the upper hand at first, she notices the dark state of Sayaka's Soul Gem which causes her to be caught off-guard by Sayaka's next attack and leaving Sayaka the victor of the battle. Sayaka leaves, but not before telling Kyoko to never talk to her again.

Some time later, Mami and Kyoko await at the station at the appointed time. Sayaka is late and as they wait, Mami asks Kyoko about the state of Sayaka's Soul Gem. Kyoko is surprised that Mami is aware of the second battle they had and Mami lectures Kyoko on being a bully. They discuss the state of Sayaka with Mami expressing concern over how quickly her Soul Gem became polluted. She tosses some Grief Cubes at Kyoko and tells her to give them to Sayaka and to apologize to her. As soon as Kyoko leaves, Mami is ambush by a number of Wraiths. Kyoko finds Sayaka surrounded by a number of Wraiths who are about to consume her emotions. Kyoko dispatches them with her spear and grabs Sayaka, taking her to safety. At the top of a watercooler, Sayaka dismisses Kyoko and reminds her she was told never to speak to Sayaka again. Before Kyoko can work up the nerve to offer her the Grief Cubes, Kyubey tells the girls about Mami's predicament. As the fight against the Wraiths escalates, Kyoko and Sayaka appear at Mami's side to help her. Mami comes up with a plan where her and Kyoko distract the Wraiths while Sayaka closes in on the giant Wraith. But the plan fails and Sayaka is captured by the Wraiths instead. Mami and Kyoko yell encouraging words to Sayaka who manages to escape, but not before using up her magic and being led away by the Law of Cycles.

The following day, Mami and Kyoko meet up with Homura on the school's roof, Kyoko having borrowed a school uniform to better blend in. They tell Homura about the giant Wraith that has been seen lately and agree not to hunt it on their own. After several days of combing the city for the giant Wraith and hunting down other more common Wraiths, Homura encounters the giant Wraith alone and attempts to defeat it herself. Mami and Kyoko run into the aftermath of the fight where they find Homura lying unconscious on the streets.

The next night, Kyoko runs into Homura while patrolling the streets. She assures Homura she won't tell Mami she saw her up and about knowing Mami would only lecture her further. When asked why she remains in the city despite Sayaka having disappeared, Kyoko responds she is still here to avenge Sayaka. Kyoko agrees to help Homura in finding and defeating the Wraith provided she is the one to give the final blow. The next night, Mami meets with Kyoko at the station and asks her what she would do were she to meet with her dead family again. Kyoko has no answer for her and Mami leaves. Hitomi overhears their conversation and asks Kyoko about the truth concerning Sayaka's disappearance. Kyoko tells her as much as she can, saying Sayaka smiled during her final moments. Hitomi tells Kyoko about the promise she made to Sayaka concerning Kyosuke and how it may have caused Sayaka to despair. As they finish their conversation, Sayaka appears sitting on the light pole next to them. Hitomi apologizes to Sayaka, but Sayaka tells her she must make a choice between her and Kyosuke. Kyoko steps in once she sees how hurt Hitomi is only for Sayaka to nearly hit her with her attack. Sayaka then turns into a Wraith and escapes. Kyoko chases after the Wraith only to come across Mami and Homura in the park after their own encounter with a Mutant Wraith. She informs them of the fake Sayaka and they agree on rules in order to limit their ability to be taken by surprise by the Mutant Wraiths.

After several weeks of searching for the giant Wraith, the girls decide to begin their search from the beginning. Mami is upset to find that Homura had been searching for the giant Wraith alone and worries that something may happen to her. Homura snaps at both Mami and Kyoko before taking off. Later, Mami and Kyoko run into Homura who has been searching alongside a Mutant Wraith in the form of Madoka. However, to Mami and Kyoko she looks nothing like Madoka and only has the form of a Mutant Wraith wrapped around Homura. They transform and prepare to rescue Homura, but Homura instead begs the Wraith to save her from being a Magical Girl. The Wraith takes Homura's Soul Gem and teleports them from the area, leaving Mami and Kyoko behind.

Some time later, Mami and Kyoko sit in the park at night as they discuss Homura's recent disappearance and lack of clues leading to the giant Wraith. Kyoko comes up with the idea of reminding Homura what her wish was in order to bring her back to normal. As they talk, a parade of Wraiths swarm around them, however the Wraiths take no notice of the two girls. Mami and Kyoko transform and follow after the Wraiths, coming across a city full of dead people. They're suddenly ambushed by Wraith-Sayaka. Kyoko stays behind to fight her off and allow Mami to continue chasing after the other wraiths. As Kyoko battles against Wraith-Sayaka, fending her off as best she can, other Wraiths with similar time-stopping abilities join in the fray and Kyoko is soon overwhelmed. She uses the last of her magical energy to summon hundreds of spears that impale the wraiths, freeing Kyoko from their grasp.

By this time the giant Wraith has been consumed by the power it took from Homura and transforms into a Witch-like creature, [[Kriemhild Fausut]], complete with Familiars. As the Familiars began to overrun the city, one of the Witch's large braids swings at Mami, nearly killing her. However Kyoko has appeared just in time to pull Mami out of danger. Mami introduces to Kyoko the Wraith-Madoka and Kyoko hands to Mami the last Grief Cubes she has. Before Mami can finish using them, a braid has trapped Kyoko. Wraith-Madoka frees her with an arrow but it is too late: the Witch has taken away her soul completely the moment it touched her.

At the end of the story, after Madoka has reset this universe's timeline so the curses of the previous world don't interfere, Kyoko is shown alive and well with no memories of the previous timeline.

===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|Rebellion]]===
Prior to the events of the movie, the Incubators trapped Homura's Soul Gem in an Isolation Field that blocks the Law of Cycles. Homura creates a Witch barrier inside her own Soul Gem, which is an idealized version of Mitakihara. Along with Mami and other characters, Kyoko is taken into the barrier and has her memories altered.

Within the barrier, Kyoko is now a student at Mitakihara Middle School and fights with the other Magical girls against [[Nightmares]], monsters created by the barrier specifically to provide an enemy for the Magical Girls to fight. She is shown to be much closer to Sayaka; in fact Kyoko is staying at Sayaka's house.

[[File:BroTP 1.gif|thumb|Kyoko and Homura confronting the bus driver]]
Homura suspects something is off and invites Kyoko to a treetop cafe to discuss things. While Kyoko sees nothing wrong initially, Homura feels Kyoko is the one that is most different from the impression she has of her. She asks her when Kyoko first transferred to Mitakihara from Kazamino City and how long it's been, however due to the memory alterations Kyoko can't remember. Homura asks Kyoko to accompany her on a trip to Kazamino, and Kyoko agrees so long as Homura buys her ramen once they get there. The two girls board a bus headed towards Kazamino, only to end up back at the same bus station in Mitakihara. They board the bus again only for the same to happen. They soon come to the realization that they can't leave the city as the townspeople stop to stare at them. Homura urges Kyoko to keep this revelation a secret from the other Magical Girls until Homura is able to figure out what is going on.

[[File:Holding hands 3.gif|thumb|left|Sayaka's confession]]
Eventually Homura realizes she is the Witch and transforms into [[Homulilly]]. Kyubey tells Madoka to reveal her true powers in order to save Homura, but Sayaka tells Madoka not to listen to him. She stabs herself in order to summon Oktavia and an army of Familiars from other Witches. The summoned familiars battle Homulilly's Familiars, while Oktavia holds off Homulilly herself. The other Magical Girls either fight off Homulilly's familiars or attack the ceiling of the barrier, cracking it. During the battle, Sayaka is rescued by Kyoko and admits that she regretted abandoning Kyoko at the end of the anime. The two girls then fight off familiars together, and Oktavia even uses Kyoko's spear to punch another hole in Homulilly's barrier. Finally Madoka shatters the ceiling of the barrier and exposes Kyubey's Isolation Field. She reaches out to Homura's remaining Humanity, and together they destroy the Isolation Field from within.

Back in the real world, Mami place Homura's Soul Gem on her body, and Kyoko watches as Madoka, Sayaka and Nagisa descend from the sky to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. Just as Madoka is about to touch Homura's Soul Gem, Homura grabs onto her hands and begins altering the universe. Kyoko is engulfed by the colors that spill out of Homura's Soul Gem and spread out over the universe.

[[File:Liese2.PNG|thumb|Kyoko feeding Liese]]
Homura, now calling herself a [[Devil Homura|demon]], creates a new world. In this world, Kyoko is initially seen in her school uniform on the road to Mitakihara Middle School. She is sitting in a tree with a bag full of apples and is feeding one to a number of [[Liese]], Homura's birdlike familiars. Kyoko takes a bite of another apple before tossing a third down to some Clara Dolls that waved their hands, asking for one. Homura, who is sitting in a chair below Kyoko, shakes her head and two of the Clara Dolls watch the apple fall into the creek. Kyoko is surprised as nobody was there to catch the apple.

At the end of the movie, a smiling Sayaka is shown taking a stick of Pocky from Kyoko, indicating that they've become good friends in Homura's new universe.

===In [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The innocent malice|Kazumi Magica]]===
Kyoko makes a brief appearance in [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 16: Strawberry Risotto|chapter 16]] of Kazumi Magica. She was mentioned in [[Michiru Kazusa]]'s diary, as she describes how she met [[Yuuri Asuka]], who at that time was fighting against Kyoko. In [[Kazumi Magica Chapter 19: Grief Seeds|Chapter 19]], [[Umika Misaki]] uses 'Rosso Fantasma', a spell unique to Kyoko, implying that Umika met Kyoko and copied/learned the spell from her.

===In [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica|Oriko Magica]]===
[[File:Oriko kyoko cas 1.png|thumb|250px|Kyoko in ''Oriko Magica'']]
<blockquote>''"Just like what you read in manga, right? But it ain't like in manga where your overflowing love and courage is enough to give you the strength to save your butt. And ain't nothing can bring dead family members back to life."''<br>— Kyoko, [[Oriko Magica Chapter 1: Don't Even Think About Becoming a Magical Girl|Oriko Magica Chapter 1]].</blockquote>

Kyoko takes in [[Yuma Chitose]], a young girl orphaned when her parents are killed by a Witch shortly before Kyoko kills it. Yuma has no one to go back to, and together they break into bathhouses and share a hotel room. Kyoko tries to instill her own morals into Yuma, and tells her to never disrespect and waste food. Yuma accompanies Kyoko to fight Witches, and when checking for wounds on Yuma after she has a close call with a Witch, Kyoko learns of Yuma's abusive past, and sympathizes with her even more. Kyubey appears and tells Kyoko about the murders of Magical Girls. He attempts to contract with Yuma, but Kyoko stops him and tells Yuma to never become a Magical Girl.

Kyoko leaves Yuma in their hotel room and goes out to fight a [[Cecil|Witch]] alone. Kyoko nearly dies from having her legs and arms torn off by the Witch. Yuma, who has just made a contract with Kyubey, uses her new healing powers to save her. Kyoko is incredibly angry that the girl didn't heed her warnings about contracting, but after Yuma cries about fearing that she's useless and that she had been pushed to the edge by a girl named [[Oriko Mikuni]], Kyoko subsides. She does, however, promise to make Oriko pay for what she'd done.

Kyoko speaks with Mami about the recent murders of Magical Girls. Mami is looking for a "black Magical Girl", but Kyoko knows only as much as Mami does. Yuma then flips Mami's skirt in defense of Kyoko, thinking that Mami was bullying her caretaker. Kyoko tells her that she is mistaken about Mami, but thanks her for trying to be helpful. She asks Mami about Oriko, but Mami doesn't know anything and Kyoko will tell her no more about it.

Kyoko and Yuma fight together with Mami against [[Kirika Kure]] after saving the blond Magical Girl. The fact that a Magical Girl will become a Witch in her despair, but Yuma's words unite them again and together with Mami, they defeat [[Latria|Kirika's Witch]].

Oriko is killed, and everyone seems to be safe, but Oriko's final attack kills Madoka. Kyoko asks Yuma if she can heal her, but it's too late, so Homura resets the timeline.

==Trivia==
* Apricot+ happens to be [[Ume Aoki]]'s circle name [http://ap.sakuraweb.com/].
* According with the [[Drama CD 3|Drama CD ''"Farewell Story"'']], Kyoko has been a Magical Girl for a year before she met Mami. Since the Drama CD events takes place one year before the anime events, it is suspected that Kyoko has been a Magical Girl for at least two years, making her the second veteran of the group, after Mami.
* Ai Nonaka describes Kyoko's speech style to be Shouwa-ish (Shouwa era, 1926-1989), meaning an old style of talking.
* In the original draft for the script it is stated that Kyoko did steal the apples in [[Madoka Magica Episode 7: Can You Face Your True Feelings?|Episode 7]].
* Production notes indicate that in [[Madoka Magica Episode 9: I'd Never Allow That to Happen|Episode 9]], Kyoko [[:file:Production Note Kyoko Injuries.jpg|damaged her entire right torso]].
* Her spear appears as linked pieces during combat much like a scorpion's tail, and could be a reference to the scorpion's spear.
** She uses warding spells in battle. Scorpions are often associated with protection/warding spells, in Egypt and Tibet the Scorpion is made into an amulet - signifying protection and warding off evil.
** The scorpion character who appears in Goethe's Faust is caught between the extremes of heaven or hell. Kyoko commits sins like letting people die and (likely) steals food, but in the same time she's seen as praying and she never allows wasting food.
* Despite appearing in the same grade alongside Madoka and Sayaka, it is possible that Kyoko is older than them, since there's no indication that she continued with school after the death of her family.
* Despite not having an official birthday stated, on May 9th of 2024, Aniplex America made a post that wished her a 'Happy Birthday'. Two days later they would follow up with [https://twitter.com/aniplexUSA/status/1789113325797716136 an apology].
* In Magia Record:
** Her unique Memoria Card was originally a passive.
** Kyoko's halloween outfit is the same as the one she wears in this promotional [[:File:Holy_quintet_halloween_3.png|image]].
** In Kyoko's transformation video, a pixel version of Yuma can be seen on the game's display screen.
** Her Magia, Kugatachi, refers to [http://eos.kokugakuin.ac.jp/modules/xwords/entry.php?entryID=1313 a trial by fire]. The suspect had to place their hands in a bowl of hot water; if they were truly innocent, they would not be burned.
** The pink knot at the front of her Doppel's candleholder steed resembles the head of her younger sister, [[Momo Sakura|Momo]]. This resemblance was noted in the Doppel's first description before it was later edited.
** There are two variants of her Swimsuit unit's Magia attack where Sayaka wears a different outfit in each:
*** In one, Sayaka wears her [[:File:Sayaka_Swimsuit.png|swimsuit outfit]] (not her [[:File:Sayaka Surfer PM.png|surfer unit's outfit]]).
*** In the other, Sayaka wears the [[:File:Sayaka_Mermyngii・Miracle_Swimmer.png|mushroom-style swimsuit]] [[Kanoko Yayoi]] designed in [[Magia Record Event - Beachside Bonds|Beachside Bonds]].
** The music in her Swimsuit unit's transfromation video strongly resembles the song “[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ0xBCwkg3E Running in the 90s]” by Maurizio De Jorio, which became a popular meme after being featured in the anime ''Initial D: First Stage''.
** The film from Sayaka and Kyoko's Scene 0 4 star Cards mirror each other.
* So far, Kyoko is the character with the most transformation scenes throughout all of the franchise's animated media, with six unique transformation sequences (episodes 6 and 9 of the original anime, episode 7 of Magia Record anime and Begginings, Eternal, Rebellion movies)

==Observations==
* In Japan the colour red is associated with sacredness and resistance to negative energies which could be connected to both her Father's religious work and her continuing to fight after her wish indirectly caused the death of her family, something that would probably cause most Magical Girls to give into despair.
* In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica: The Different Story]] a news broadcast indicates that a private residence in [[Kazamino City]] was caught on fire, inside the residency they found the bodies of the three members of the Sakura family. According to the police, the residents were forced in multiple suicide but the broadcast doesn't mention any other details. It is not known if the police suspected the father, or if the private residency was the [[Sakura Church]].
* [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica|Oriko Magica]] reinforces the idea that Kyoko lacks a permanent residency, instead she takes shelter at a fancy hotel (it is never stated how is she able to afford it or what trick she used to obtain a room).
**[[Megami Magazine 2011-07|This magazine article]] confirms the suspicion in regards to [[Megami Magazine 2011-07#Kyoko's Food Supply|Kyoko's income]], it also supports the idea that Kyoko has the ability from her wish to charm others [[Megami Magazine 2011-07#Kyoko's Power|("mind trick")]] but doesn't use them as she suppresses them subconsciously because of the trauma with her family. Her powers had been described as persuasion/hallucination.
* Kyoko offers an apple to Sayaka while she advises her to live a life of selfishness but Sayaka refuses both of them. Sayaka believes that Kyoko's self-centered philosophy is just wrong and also rejects the fruit because she apparently believes it was stolen. Her attempt to tempt Sayaka with an apple and her suggestion to follow a path of selfish survivalism could be interpreted as Kyoko acting as the snake advising Sayaka to abandon the path of justice.
* Kyoko's father could be an [[wikipedia:Nippon Sei Ko Kai|Anglican priest]] since he is married, has children, and his clergy outfit is similar to their style. Another evidence is that his cathedral shares some architectural similarities to the [[wikipedia:Canterbury Cathedral|Canterbury Cathedral]].

==Etymology==
*Kyoko's first name contains the character for {{Nihongo|"apricot"|杏子}}, a symbol of strength achieved through struggles with adversity.
** She may be named after Kyoko Kirisaki from the ''[[wikipedia:Black_Cat_(manga)|Black Cat]]'' manga series, a girl with the ability to create and control fire and with a penchant for killing others by incinerating them from the inside out. Similar to Kyoko's relationship with Mami, Kirisaki is rescued by the manga's protagonist and becomes infatuated with him, even adopting his personal philosophy of not killing others senselessly. In the manga series ''[[wikipedia:To_Love_Ru|To Love Ru]]'', from the same creators of ''Black Cat'', there exists a character of the same name who is a popular idol and star of the magical girl TV series ''Magical Kyoko''.
*Her surname, {{Nihongo|Sakura|佐倉}} is homophonic to {{Nihongo|Sakura|桜}}, which means "cherry blossom", which, according to Buddhist tradition, symbolizes the transience of life.
**The first character for Sakura ({{Lang|ja|佐}}) means "to help" while the second ({{Lang|ja|倉}}) means "warehouse."

==History==
===Anime===
====Original Anime====
Charlotte first appears in [[Episode 3]]. Her [[Grief Seed]] appears outside the hospital [[Kyosuke Kamijo]] is staying in, [[Madoka]] notices it whilst leaving with [[Sayaka]]. Sayaka stays by the Grief Seed while Madoka goes to find [[Mami]]. Mami and Madoka venture into the labyrinth together to save Sayaka and defeat the witch. Polina are shown in the labyrinth but never fought, however Pyotr are. When Mami and Madoka reach the deepest part of the labyrinth, Mami appears to beat the witch Charlotte however the witch reveals she hasn't been defeated by revealing her second form and decapitating Mami. She then proceeds to eat her, killing her. Before the witch can get to the other girls, [[Homura]] arrives and kills the witch with her time manipulations skills and explosives.

====The Rebellion Story====
Charlotte reappears in [[The Rebellion Story]] though with a slightly new appearance and the name 'Bebe'. She lives with Mami and joins the girls in their battles. [[Homura]] soon realises something's wrong as she remembers Charlotte being their enemy. Bebe quickly reveals herself to Mami to be the {{Spoiler|magical girl [[Nagisa Momoe]] and while fighting Homulilly, explains how she and Sayaka are reborn as part of the law of cycles and act as secretaries for Ultimate Madoka, hence why both of them can use their witch forms, albeit in different ways. Bebe is able to transform from witch form to magical girl form freely,}} as well as using her witch forms second form - though sometimes with a slightly altered appearance. She is also able to summon Pyotr, however they don't seem to be able to do much, and Polina, who help Mami fight. Charlotte's original appearance in Episode 3 makes a cameo as Homura reminisces about witches as well as in photographs of Charlotte turning into Bebe with Mami.

Aside from the Pyotr & Polina's description in the Witches Artwork, they also have a different description in the Ulla's Rental concept page from the Rebellion Production Note, but this is just a shorter and altered version of their description.

=====Pyotr & Polina=====
Minions of the Witch of Sweets. The rat-shaped minions were busy circling around Nagisa's feet, while the nurse-dressed minions helped Mami with the trapeze. (お菓子の魔女の手下。ネズミ型の手下はなぎさの足元をせっせと回っていた。看護師姿の手下はマミの空中ブランコを手伝った。)

===Books===
====Manga====
Charlotte and Bebe reappear in the [[Madoka Magica Manga|original manga]] and [[Rebellion Manga]] with little differences.

Charlotte makes an appearance in [[The Different Story]] where the scene from Episode 3 plays out with Mami however Sayaka intercepts and saves Mami.

The witch makes cameos in [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]] and its [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica: Extra Story|Extra Story]]. She further appears in [[Welcome to Café Grief Seed!]] as the Spitting Witch who acts as an arrogant and rude customer to the cafe.

===Games===
====Madoka Magica Portable====
Charlotte and her familiars reappear in [[Madoka Magica Portable]]. They appear in [[Madoka Magica Portable Madoka Route|Madoka's Route]], [[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|Mami's Route]], [[Madoka Magica Portable Sayaka Route|Sayaka's Route]] and [[Madoka Magica Portable Homura Route|Homura's Route]]. She also serves as the boss on the final floor of the Mysterious witch's barrier: the Sufficiency barrier.

When fighting her, she will always have both her forms as a boss fight. In [[Madoka Magica Portable Madoka Route|Madoka's Route]], you start as Mami to fight her first form then have to play as Homura for her second form, in line with the anime story. Her Grief Seed can be collected to cleanse a magical girl's Soul Gem during battle.

====Madoka Online====
The angel-like Pyotr is described as specializing in preserving/storing (depending on translation) the cheese.

====Magia Record====
Charlotte appears as an enemy witch but also as Nagisa Momoe's doppel. Her witch description is the same as the original anime.

=====Pyotr=====
Minions of the witch of sweets. Their role is to search for cheese.
You shouldn't expect too much from them, though.
They came to [[Kamihama City|Kamihama]] in search of cheese, hailing from a place called [[Mitakihara City|Mitakihara]].
Their faces are actually stamps. They'll headbutt anything that moves, instantly determining whether or not it's cheese and marking it with either a "Cheese Approval Stamp" or a "Not-Cheese Stamp".
Since they didn't have much luck finding cheese in their master's barrier, they expanded their search radius to outside the barrier. (They got kicked out, in a sense.) Even if they succeed in finding some cheese, though, it's a little doubtful as to whether they remember the route back home.

(お菓子の魔女の手下。その役割はチーズを探すこと。しかし過度な期待は禁物。

見滝原という場所からチーズを捜すため神浜までやって来た。

その顔面はスタンプとなっていて、とりあえず動くものに頭から突っ込み瞬時にチーズか否かを判断して“チーズ認定印”“チーズじゃない印”を捺印する。

主の結界内ではなかなかチーズを見つけられなかったため、半ば追い立てられるようにして結界の外まで捜索範囲を延ばすこととなったが、首尾よくチーズを発見できたとしても帰り道をちゃんと記憶しているのかはちょっと疑問。)

=====In-Game ([[Nagisa Momoe in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description=====
The Doppel of tenacity. Its form is desserts. The master of this emotion gets attached to people and objects as soon as they pluck her heartstrings. She may behave in a shameful manner at times, but in her heart is a well of deep love. The Doppel does not fuse with its host; rather, it emerges as a mask from her nose, which then covers her face completely. The host does not move while her Doppel is present. Instead she sits completely still and stares as though she were staring at the object of her obsession.

=====[[Nagisa Momoe (Valentine ver.)|Valentine]] version description=====
The Doppel of tenacity. Its form is melted chocolate.
The master of this emotion always misidentifies the target of her tenacious attachment. Upon seeing a chocolate cake, she’ll surrender to its luscious brown temptation and try to swallow it whole, but will find her stomach filled with milk-white no-bake cheesecake instead.
This Doppel sometimes responds to its master’s desire by deliberately going for the cheesecake in the first place, but on these occasions alone, it finds its stomach filled with actual baked cheesecake.

=====[[Nagisa Momoe (Swimsuit ver.)|Swimsuit]] version description=====
The Doppel of tenacity. Its form is soda.
The master of this emotion doesn’t want to go back home, and is trying to create one last, great summer memory.
Her Doppel resonates with its master, and wants to soak everything around it in a young, verdant summer hue.
It sucks the carbonated juice that surrounds it into its mouth, then sprays it and lets it pop absolutely everywhere. Everything the juice touches practically bursts with fun: people bursting into motion, personalities bursting with joy, hairstyles bursting with individuality, et cetera. No matter what scene results from the Doppel’s influence, everyone gets high on the carbonated scent, and there’s nary a scream of terror or pain to be heard.
Incidentally, the Doppel seems to dislike sparkler fireworks, as they seem to declare the end of summer.

====Magia Exedra====
Charlotte, Pyotr and Polina appear in [[Magia Exedra]]. They appear in the [[Magia Exedra Main Quests|Main Quest]] Sweets Witch. The familiars also appear in the [[Magia Exedra Events|event quest]] Farewell Story Part I and Charlotte appears as a score attack boss in Farewell Story Part II.

Bebe made a cameo with the introduction of the Camera function, originally appearing in a short cutscene between her and [[Nighthawk]] when the player first uses the Camera function. Bebe was later added as a function in the Camera to add her as an NPC alongside a character, or a character herself.

During the [[Magia Exedra Memspark Unlock Event Forever Halloween Night|Forever Halloween Night]] event, Charlotte, Pyotr and Polina are given Halloween-themed appearances, as well as given unique descriptions. Her barrier also has a makeover, featuring Jack-O-Lanterns and even more sweets.

===Events===
====Madogatari====
=====Pyotr=====
The witch of sweets' minion. Its duty is to search for cheese.
They mill about inside the Labyrinth while emitting mouse-like squeaks.
Their faces are stamps, which they use to mark anything that isn't cheese.
The sight of them performing bodyslams while bouncing around like rubber balls may seem completely ridiculous,
but if you get hit by one of them head-on, you'll end up with more than a couple of broken bones.

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

==Observations==
* Charlotte's head is shaped like a wrapped sweet, this motif can also be seen on her grief seed.
* Watching carefully one can see that when Charlotte's second form gets injured a new Charlotte comes out of the mouth replacing the old as if the layers are being blown away.
* A [[Episode_3#Witches_and_desserts|charlotte]] is a type of dessert.
** Charlotte's head also bears strong resemblance to a [http://st.houzz.com/simgs/1f012ac300f42382_4-4604/eclectic-cookware.jpg Charlotte Mold], a cooking vessel used exclusively for the baking and forming of desserts.
* The name Charlotte could also refer to [[Wikipedia:Charlotte Buff|Charlotte Buff]], a woman [[Wikipedia:Goethe|Goethe]] unrequitedly loved and that deeply influenced him. The central and homonym character from Goethe's [[Wikipedia:The Sorrows of Young Werther|The Sorrows of Young Werther]] was based on her
*[[Wikipedia:Pyotr|Pyotr]] is the Russian form of the given name Peter.
**The name Peter simply means 'stone' or 'rock' however given the sweet theme of the barrier - they could be a reference to rock candy
**[[wikipedia:Pyotr_Ilyich_Tchaikovsky|Pyotr Ilyich Thaikovsky]] was a Russian romantic period composer who composed scores for ''The Nutcracker'' and ''Swan Lake.'' He also composed '''[[wikipedia:None_but_the_Lonely_Heart_(Tchaikovsky)|"None but the Lonely Heart",]]'' based on a poem by Lev Mei which was in turn translated from Goethe's ''Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship.''
* [[Wikipedia:Polina (given name)|Polina]] is also a Russian given name, interpreted either as a short form of the name Apollinaria, or a variant form of the name Paulina
**Polina means 'little stone', which is similar to Pyotr's etymology.
**[[wikipedia:Polina_Semionova|Polina Semionova]] was a ballerina who once played the lead role in Thaikovsky's ''The Nutcracker.''
**[[wikipedia:Pauline_von_Metternich|Pauline von Metternich]] was an Austrian socialite who was important in the promotion of Richard Wagner's work; it was at her request that Napolean III invited Wagner to "substantially amend" his opera ''[[wikipedia:Tannh%C3%A4user_(opera)|Tannhäuser]]'', creating what would be known as the "Paris version", which failed and would become one of the nineteenth century's greatest musical scandals. Wagner also dedicated a piano composition to her
***''Tannhäuser'' "centers on the struggle between sacred and profane love, and redemption through love, a theme running through much of Wagner's mature work."
* The [[Witch Runes/Episode_3 | runes reading "MAMI MOGU MOGU GONBO"]] in Charlotte's barrier describe [[Mami Tomoe|Mami]]'s death, as mogu mogu is onomatopoeia for chewing, but also likely reference to a famous educational cooking TV show called [[wikipedia:ja:モグモグGOMBO|Mogu Mogu Gombo]].
** There is no significant difference between the Japanese pronunciations of gonbo and gombo, so gonbo is an alternate romanization.
** Mogu Mogu Gombo aired from 1993 until 2003 and was hosted by two famous comedians (Kobuhei Hayashiya and HIROMI). The main target audience was children, but many adults also enjoyed it.
** The cooking and eating themes of the show match Charlotte's themes of sweets and eating Mami. A children's show matches other aspects of the barrier: Charlotte looks like a doll in one form and a clown in the other, she has a tea party setup like what a little girl might arrange, and she fills her barrier with candy
*It's been speculated that Charlotte's real body is the doll that sits across her in the anime, since Homura only manages to defeat her after stepping on it. However, Shinbo denies this in a interview published in the Kikan S magazine, volume 33.

==Trivia==
* A description in the [[Puella_Magi_Production_Note#Witch_of_cheesecake_.28early_concept_that_later_became_Charlotte.29 | Production Note]] reveals that Charlotte obtained "one single cheesecake" in strict accordance with her wish.
* A line in the [[:file:Guidebook_0067.jpg|design for Charlotte's labyrinth]] in the [[Puella_Magi_Madoka_Magica_Official_Guidebook_"You_Are_Not_Alone"#Witch_Design|Official Guidebook]] says "It's really a delicious cheese cake. My dying mother wanted to eat it, but maybe I should have cured her disease instead. However, that surely wasn't appropriate."
* On the official website, mousing over Charlotte's card changes the image from the first to the second using JavaScript.
* Although official pronunciations of almost all witches' names are undisclosed, "Charlotte" is pronounced "シャルロッテ" (Sharurotte) like a German name (Shar-lot-teh) according to [http://www.amazon.co.jp/exec/obidos/ASIN/B004PVTNNK/ an official product's document].
* Runes in Charlotte's card are styled like biscuits.
* According to the [[Movie 3 Brochure]], Charlotte is called "Bebe" in ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion|Rebellion]]'' because the other characters can't actually read the [[runes]].
** It's possible that Bebe's name was meant to contrast with Mami's name ("Baby" and "Mommy").
* It is suggested that Charlotte's design was changed to make her more expressive.
* According to Witches Guide, Mami found Bebe in her original appearance (looking as Charlotte does) and was quiet. Mami sews Bebe new clothes and over time her appearance continues to change and she becomes even more interactive. This can also be seen in photographs of Bebe in Mami's apartment.
* Bebe actually talks to the other characters. When she speaks, bubbles with katakana appear from her mouth, though the noises she makes are just gibberish. The other characters appear to understand her just fine, and subtitles appear to let the viewer know what she's saying.
* In Magia Record, Charlotte is the first witch to appear as a Doppel and then as an enemy Witch.
* Also in Magia Exedra, Charlotte's first form is used as a decoy for her second form, and thus lacks alternate palettes and cannot be battled outside of the Story mode.
** Charlotte's first form also has motions which would've been her attack or buff/debuff motion, depicting her opening her mouth yawning as seen in trailers, but it is extremely rare as she has very low HP, meaning she could be easily defeated in one hit in this form.
*Charlotte is the second Witch to get multiple Portraits in Magia Exedra, after [[Shitori Egumo]]. Unlike Shitori Egumo, both her Portraits are of the same form.
*Of all Witches who had their Magical Girl identities revealed at some point, Charlotte is the first one who first debuts as a Witch (episode 3 of the original anime) and later has her identity revealed (''The Rebellion Story'')

==History==
===Anime===
====Original Anime====
Oktavia makes her first appearance at the end of [[Episode 8]] when {{Spoiler|Sayaka finally falls into despair and becomes a witch.}} Most of her body is covered by her cape in her first appearance. She makes her full appearance in [[Episode 9]] when [[Kyoko]] takes [[Madoka]] to her labyrinth to try and save Sayaka. Her familiars: Holger make an appearance in her labyrinth but never seem to attack. As Madoka tries to speak to {{Spoiler|Sayaka to bring her back,}} Oktavia screams at the girls and attacks them with wheels. Even when Kyoko cuts off one of her hands, she doesn't seem to notice. [[Homura]] arrives as the floor of the labyrinth crumbles and she catches Madoka. Kyoko tells her to take Madoka to safety as she plans to defeat Oktavia herself. She creates a giant spear and throws her [[Soul Gem]] into the attack, killing both of them but allowing her to be with {{Spoiler|Sayaka.}}

Oktavia appears again in [[Episode 10]] in an alternate timeline. In this timeline her labyrinth and theme is much more like a rock concert than an orchestra. She also has different familiars: Klarissa, that resemble [[Hitomi]]. Instead of orchestra members like Holger, they are backup dancers. All four girls try to defeat Oktavia in this timeline to save {{Spoiler|Sayaka}} but Homura defeats her with explosives to quickly protect Madoka.

====The Rebellion Story====
Oktavia makes a reappearance in [[The Rebellion Story]] as part of Sayaka's army. She fights {{Spoiler|Homulilly}} with the magical girls. Aside from the Rental familiars she uses, her unique familiars, both Holger and Klarissa, appear in Sayaka's orchest hall. The Holgers play different instruments while the Klarissas dance with the other familiars. They have a brief description, shown in Ulla's Rental Ver. Concept page.

;Holger & Klarissa
Minions of the Mermaid Witch. They don't stand out much, but they use their musical performance magic to create a platform of sheet music at Sayaka's feet. Now they not just perform the sound of violins. If you look closely, you'll also see the cheering minions in the concert hall who are supporting them.

===Games===
====Madoka Mobage====
In the event [[The Hollow Little Mermaid]], [[Elise (Mobage)|Elise]] uses her unique magic to save Sayaka, who had just become Oktavia von Seckendorff. Because of this, Elise dies and becomes Oktavia von Seckendorff in her place and Sayaka lives as a result of Elise's sacrifice.

====Magia Record====
=====In-Game ([[Sayaka Miki in Magia Record|Normal]] version) description=====
The Doppel of unrequited love. Its form is a mermaid.
The master of this emotion suffered from young love and chose a fate so harsh that she could not bear it alone. As such, the Doppel dreams of love while it swims effortlessly through the air, playing a song for its master from its vast hollow body. It can control several swords to attack its enemies with the soundwaves that emanate from its body, but as long as the master uses it, she cannot flee from the discontent that troubles her heart.

=====[[Sayaka Miki (Haregi ver.)|Haregi]] version description=====
The Doppel of romance. Its form is a mermaid. Though the master of this emotion has been anguished by love all the way to the year’s end, she’s positively delighted by this opportunity to don her favorite formal wear. Even so, the unease born out of her unchanging love still lurks within her heart, quietly tormenting its master. Her Doppel has been just as lovesick, but when clad in these auspicious symbols, its confidence soars. Its glow practically seems to bestow good fortune and ward off disaster, and it fearlessly charges forward no matter what obstacles may lay in its path. Those crushed by its sheer force will witness the sun and Mount Fuji in their final moments, and will surely be able to put the sight into a masterful piece of brushwork.

=====[[Sayaka Miki (Surfer ver.)|Surfer]] version description=====
The Doppel of romantic yearning. Its form is a mermaid. The master of this emotion averts her eyes from the fundamental truth that “unannounced feelings cannot reach their recipient,” and continues to wait for a coincidental opportunity– her “big wave of summer”– to arrive. As such, this Doppel has an overabundance of free time, and begins swimming around exuberantly as soon as it’s set free. Its offensive techniques are a pure combination of kinetic and potential energy, utilizing the accelerating passion of summer and the overwhelming mass of a lovesick heart to crush its enemies into dust. After the relief that accompanies this momentary expulsion of emotion, the Doppel’s master will most likely continue trying to convince herself that “her ideal opportunity still hasn’t arrived”.

====Magia Exedra====
Oktavia and Holger appear in [[Magia Exedra]]. They appear in the [[Magia Exedra Main Quests|Main Quest]] Mermaid Witch. Holger also appear in the [[Magia Exedra Events|event quest]] Farewell Story Part II.

==In Magia Exedra==
{{Magia Exedra Game Info|character=Oktavia von Seckendorff}}

==Observations==
*Oktavia as a whole is a reference to the Danish fairy tale ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Mermaid Den lille havfrue]'', known as ''The Little Mermaid'' in English.
**In ''"The Little Mermaid and the Kind Witch"'' from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Anthology 2|''Puella Magi Madoka Magica Anthology 2'']], Kyoko observes how {{Spoiler|Sayaka}} can [[:file:Anthology_2_150.jpg|"neither be with [her] prince, nor return to the sea"]]. The mermaid ({{Spoiler|Sayaka}}) in the original fairy tale makes a deal with the Sea Witch ([[Kyubey]]), in which she trades her voice (soul) to become human so she can be with the prince ({{Spoiler|[[Kyosuke]]}}) she saved from drowning during a storm ({{Spoiler|Sayaka's wish to heal his hand}}). However, the prince marries someone else ({{Spoiler|Hitomi}}), and the mermaid cannot revert to her original aquatic form ({{Spoiler|Sayaka can't return to being human}}) unless she kills him, so she resigns herself to her fate of dissolving into sea foam (becoming a witch). At the end of the story, the mermaid is ultimately saved by transforming into a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylph sylph] and ascending into the sky ({{Spoiler|Sayaka being absorbed into the [[Law of Cycles]]}}).
*[[wikipedia:Karl Siegmund von Seckendorff|Karl Sigmund von Seckendorff]] was a German poet who was inspired by Goethe; he enjoyed composing music for several of his poems before they were even published, and translated ''The Sorrows of Young Werther'' into French. In this story, the titular man is ultimately driven to suicide by his unrequited love, as he is unable to harm or murder others to resolve the love triangle at the source of his despair. However, Goethe thought little of his work.
**He also wrote a book called ''The Wheel of Fate'' (''Das Rad des Schicksals''), and could explain Sayaka's wheel attack.
*Seckendorff was also the name of a [[:file:Close up Sayaka coats of arm and the Seckendorff family coats of arm.png|Frankish knight from a noble family]] .
*Oktavia is the German form of the Latin name ''Octavia'' which means "the eighth" (child, month or musical interval) or "from the family Octavia". It is the direct root of [[Wikipedia:Octave|octave]] in English (an octave being the eight interval of a scale). The name was most likely chosen because of the link between Sayaka and music.
** It might also reflect how her first appearance was in episode eight.
*[[wikipedia:Holger (given name)|Holger]] is a Scandinavian masculine given name derived from the Old Norse name ''Hólmgeirr'', the prefix ''hólmr'' meaning "island", and the suffix ''geirr'' meaning "spear". It is most common amongst Danish people.
*''‘Herr Holger’'' is an old Swedish song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjmq6KI0D_o] performed by the dark folk band [[wikipedia:Garmarna|Garmarna]]. Its central character, Sir Holger, gets beheaded for his crimes and buried, but then turns undead and goes back to his wife to warn her against going to Hell. Yet the lady won't listen to the warning: ''"Go to Hell with your squires, ... And I will follow with my maidens"''.
*[[wikipedia:Holger_Simon_Paulli|Holger Simon Paulli]] was a Danish conductor and composer who contributed to the spread of Richard Wagner's work with his performances of ''Lohengrin'' and ''Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg''.
*The Movie version has new runes, in it Oktavia's barrier has [[:file:New runes sayaka barrier.jpg|runes that read]], "[[wikipedia:Summis desiderantes affectibus|Desiderantes Affectibus]]": Summis desiderantes affectibus (Latin: ''"Desiring with supreme ardor"'') was a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent VIII on December 5, 1484. The bull was written in response to the request of Dominican Inquisitor Heinrich Kramer for explicit authority to prosecute witchcraft in Germany, after he was refused assistance by the local ecclesiastical authorities. The bull recognized the existence of witches.
**The bull, which synthesized the spiritual and the secular crimes of witchcraft, is often viewed as opening the door for the witch hunts of the early modern period.
*The musical notes on Oktavia's grief seed also resemble crescent moons. They are symbols of femininity and the moon is commonly associated with water, which relates back to Oktavia being a mermaid.
*The pink ribbon around Oktavia's neck may be a reference to the pink ribbons that Madoka wears in the series, representing their deep friendship.
**They could also represent the witch wanting affection and attention as the color pink is normally seen as a color associated with love.
*Oktavia's barrier shows rail tracks (as well as wheels, that may be there for the same reason), which is possibly due to what Sayaka heard from two men in the train right before she turned into a witch.
* In [[Episode 9]] when [[Kyoko]] passes through Sayaka's barrier, it is shown that when Oktavia shouts, a distorted scream is also heard and is known to be Sayaka's voice. This most likely meant Sayaka wanted to express her feelings but she could not because of her broken state. As seen before her transformation to be a witch, she had issues speaking to Kyoko. With her life reaching its end, she could not help herself in the situation.

==Trivia==
*The entrance to her barrier has the sayings ''Love Me Do'' which is, incidentally, a Beatles song.
*In the beginning of episode 9 near the name of the witch, there are floating notes of "Symposium Magarum".
*Oktavia is briefly shown in Kazumi Magica as background when Juubey explains how a magical girl becomes a witch.
*It appears Sayaka Miki is the only magical girl that has been shown to be able to separate from her Witch, as in Rebellion Oktavia fights along Sayaka as a separate being meaning Sayaka no longer has to turn into her.
*Oktavia appears in all timelines in which Sayaka makes a contract.
*The specific runic font used for Oktavia and Holger's cards resembles musical instruments and notation.
*Holger's design in the original TVA used to be a silhouette of the human men, however in the movie their design were drastically changed, more closer to puppets.
*One of the alternate timelines shown in episode 10 gives her barrier a slightly different appearance with familiars that resemble [[Hitomi]]. Some design documents also indicate that [[Puella Magi Production Note#Oktavia von Seckendorff, Timeline 3 Version|Kamijou is a guitarist rather than a violinist]] in the alternate timeline.
*{{spoiler| In [[Madoka Magica Mobage Story The Hollow Little Mermaid|The Hollow Little Mermaid]], an event in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Mobage]], a magical girl named [[Elise (Mobage)]] used her magical girl ability and became Oktavia in exchange for Sayaka reverting back to a magical girl.}}
*[[Charlotte]] and Oktavia are currently the only bosses in Magia Exedra to have two phases in one fight. Both bosses, however, uses their second phase as their basis when fighting in non-Story Mode battles.
** Other bosses with multiple phases, such as [[Walpurgisnacht]], are battled in individual stages instead.
*Klarissas are absent in Magia Exedra as enemies. Likewise, Oktavia was never battled in Magia Record as a boss, only appearing as a Doppel and having a story sptite used in ''Scene 0''.
*Oktavia is the third Witch to get multiple Portraits in Magia Exedra, after [[Shitori Egumo]] and [[Charlotte]].
*Due to being the Witch of Sayaka (as a protagonist from the original anime), she is the first Witch ever whose identity as a Magical Girl has been revealed, since it was shown within the anime's climax.

<blockquote>''"I came back 'cause I wanted to eat cheese one more time!"''<br>— Nagisa, [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion|Rebellion]].</blockquote>

{{nihongo|'''Nagisa Momoe'''|百江なぎさ|Momoe Nagisa}} is a character from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]].

Initially, she appears as Bebe, a version of [[Charlotte]].<ref name='rebellion'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]]</ref> After [[Homura Akemi]] tries to attack her, believing that she trapped them inside of a barrier, she reveals herself as Nagisa, an envoy of the [[Law of Cycles]], sent to Homura's barrier to try and save her alongside [[Ultimate Madoka]] and [[Sayaka Miki]].<ref name='rebellion'/>

==Appearance==
{{stub}}

===Magical Girl===
{{stub}}

==Personality and Traits==
Nagisa is usually rather childish, serving as the plucky and cheerful comic relief of the group, though she's shown to be more perceptive than she seems. She tends to speak rather eloquently (e.g. "Let me explain that from my own lips", "We were once bringers of hope, who despaired and spread our curses").

As Bebe, she is even more childish, often jumping around, and panicking at the thought of turning into cheese.

From an interview with the character designer, Ume Aoki, regarding Nagisa: ''"At the beginning I was imagining her as the type to do things at her own pace, a little selfish, but once her speech patterns were determined I started to feel like all of that was part of her innocence and youth, and was able to draw her naturally."''<ref>https://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html#:~:text=At%20the%20beginning%20I%20drew,%20her%20naturally.</ref>

==Powers and Abilities==
According to the [[Rebellion Production Note]], she uses her horn to cast magic that makes her more self-assertive and greedy.<ref name='rebellionnote194'/> She can produce bubbles from her horn<ref name='rebellion'/>, the exact effect of the bubbles is unclear, but they were shown to be powerful enough to put cracks in a Witch's barrier.<ref name='rebellion'/>

After being taken into the [[Law of Cycles]], Nagisa gained the power to transform into her [[Charlotte|Witch form]] at will, possesing all her abilities.<ref name='rebellion'/> She can summon her Familiars, [[Pyotr]] and [[Polina]], no matter what form she is in.<ref name='rebellion'/> She has also been shown partially transforming, such as changing only her face to swallow some of her enemies, and then burp them out as explosive bubbles.<ref name='rebellion'/>

{{stub}}
In the [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]] universe, when her Soul Gem turns black Nagisa is able to summon her [[Doppel]], [[Charlotte]].<ref name='magireco'>Shown in [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]</ref>

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|Rebellion]]===
Prior to the beginning of ''Rebellion'', Madoka, [[Sayaka]] and Nagisa enter [[Homura]]'s witch barrier from the Law of Cycles. In order to stop Kyubey's plan to observe and control the Law of Cycles, Madoka entrusted her memories and powers to both Nagisa and Sayaka so they could reawaken her to save Homura at the right time. Nagisa later explains that she took the mission because she wanted to eat cheese again.

[[File:Cheese!.png|thumb|250px|left|Bebe, Nagisa's disguise]]
Once she enters Homura's barrier, Nagisa disguises herself as her Witch form (which Kyubey would not recognize). The other characters call her Bebe. While disguised, she stays at Mami's house and helps the magical girls fight [[Nightmare]]s. The memory altering effects of the barrier causes Mami to believe that Bebe is her oldest friend. Although her own memories are unaffected, Nagisa seems to reciprocate Mami's friendship.

Eventually Homura begins to discover the truth of the false world and suspects Nagisa/Bebe as the culprit due to her appearance as Charlotte. Homura tries to interrogate Bebe, but is stopped by Mami. Bebe escapes as Mami and Homura fight each other. When the battle concludes, Sayaka helps Homura escape from Mami, and Nagisa returns to her human form. She apologizes to Mami for deceiving her and explains the truth to Mami.

[[File:Rebellion Runes - 012847 - Nagisa invocation circles.jpg|thumb|Nagisa's regular form]]
Nagisa reappears as Bebe once Homura transforms into [[Homulilly]]. She transforms back into her human form and uses her weapon, an explosive bubble-blowing trumpet, to create cracks in Homulilly's barrier. Ultimately, the magical girls hold off Homulilly and her familiars long enough to break through the barrier, revealing the isolation field that Homura's soul gem was trapped in. Madoka calls out to Homura's remaining humanity and together they destroy the isolation field from within, foiling the Incubators' plot.

Once the barrier disappears, Ultimate Madoka descends from the sky along with a carriage containing both Sayaka and Nagisa. Madoka intends to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. However, Homura has been changed by her experiences in her barrier and thus grabs Madoka before she can take her soul gem. Homura then separates Madoka from the Law of Cycles and uses her new powers to rewrite reality. Nagisa is shown to be engulfed by the colors spilling out of Homura's soul gem and spreading to cover the universe.

In Homura's new reality, Nagisa is unable to return to the Law of Cycles. She is seen happily running about in her civilian outfit, implying that Homura has erased her memories of being a magical girl. It is also suggested Homura has suppressed her magical girl and witch powers, effectively turning Nagisa back into an ordinary human. Eventually Nagisa meets up with a group of kids her own age and leaves with them. It is implied that they are all going to school together.

At the end of the movie Mami saves Nagisa from falling packages of cheese, suggesting that they will become friends again in the new reality.

==Trivia==
* Unlike the other magical girls in ''Madoka Magica'', Nagisa's hair, eyes and soul gem are not all the same colour.
** Nagisa's eye color pattern is possibly a form of heterochromia, a cosmetic disease that causes one's eyes to be multiple colors, called [[wikipedia:Heterochromia_iridum#Central_heterochromia|Central Heterochromia]]. Traditional heterochromia is usually seen in individuals whose each eye is a different color, however Nagisa's variation is an alternate that causes the eyes to change color near the iris of the eye. Most likely, though, it is just a reference to Charlotte's second form.
* Nagisa is voiced by Kana Asumi, who played Yuno in [[wikipedia:Hidamari Sketch|Hidamari Sketch]], a character who was an inspiration for [[Madoka Kaname]].<ref>Shown in [[NewType_2011-07]]</ref>
* Nagisa's transformation starts with her saying "Parmigiano Reggiano!", a sort of cheese also known as Parmesan.
* According to the ''Rebellion'' production note, Nagisa's magic is a horn that is supposed to make her more self-assertive and greedy because she regrets wishing for just a single cheesecake.
* Nagisa's given name is mentioned once in the movie by herself, but only in the original Japanese version.
* Her relationship with [[Mami Tomoe]] as of [[Rebellion]] may be a reference to the (literal) mother/daughter relationship between Usagi Tsukino (Sailor Moon) and her daughter Chibiusa (Sailor Chibi Moon) from ''Sailor Moon''.
** Additionally, Nagisa's [[:File:Rebellion_Guidebook_Nagisa_Original_Design.jpg|original design]] context greatly resembles Mami.
* Nagisa hates garlic.<ref>Shown in [[:File:Turns out nagisa hates garlic .png|this Comedy Manga]]</ref>
* In Magia Record:
** There are three different versions of Nagisa:
*** '''Law of Cycles Nagisa''': The version of Nagisa from the Law of Cycles as seen in Rebellion, she appears in multiple events and is the only playable version of the 3.
*** '''Original Nagisa''': The version appearing in [[Magia Record Event - Nagisa's Wish|Nagisa's Wish]], this is the original Nagisa before being taken in by the Law of Cycles.
*** '''Scene 0 Nagisa''': This version of Nagisa appears in [[Scene 0]], a prequel story to the original show. Due to Madoka's wish in [[Scene 0 Film 4|Film 4]] (to save the Magical Girl that became Charlotte), a pseudo-Nagisa appeared. She has a color scheme similar to Bebe and lacks a soul gem due to her technically not being a Magical Girl and instead a construct of Madoka's wish.
** Her unique memoria, which grants Anti-Burn and Anti-Bind, is an ultimate counter to Mami's Magia, Tiro Finale, which induces Bind and Burn.
** At the beginning of her transformation video, Ultimate Madoka plays a claw machine to pick Nagisa up. Inside the machine, there are also a toy resembling the [[:File:Viking_girl.png|Viking girl]] from [[Episode 12]], and a [[Momoko Togame]] toy.
** Her hairstyle in her Swimsuit unit resembles the head of Charlotte's first form, making it look like a wrapped candy.
** The ''Buchiage'' in her Swimsuit unit's Magia "''Buchiage Pop Launcher''" is a Japanese term meaning "in high spirits" most likely referring to Nagisa's jubilant personality.
* In Magia Exedra:
** Her Heartphial story is loosely retelling of [[Magia Record Event - Nagisa's Wish|Nagisa's Wish]] from Magia Record. A major difference is that [[Yuu]] doesn't make any physical appearance, but rather a name being mentioned during her scenes. It's either due to her being a major spoiler character in the future story, or her Live2D is yet to be finished.

==Observations==
* Nagisa claims she came back as a secretary of Ultimate Madoka to eat cheese again. How true this is is currently unknown.
* She has a child-like appearance.
* She is said to be very close to Mami.
* Her weapon is a trumpet, styled like Charlotte, that can shoot bubbles powerful enough to put cracks in a witch's barrier.
* She seems to hate Kyubey, as she is seen snarling at him several times as Bebe.
* She can channel or change her form to and from Bebe (and by extension Charlotte's second form). She can also summon Charlotte's and other witches' familiars. The [[Pyotr]]s she summons don't do anything, but a [[Polina]] is seen helping Mami with her trapezes. This is because of special powers granted to her as a secretary of Ultimate Madoka, as well as being a part of the Law of Cycles.
** She rides on a [[Sebastian]] during the battle with Homulilly.
* Her magical girl design is near-identical to an initially-proposed beta outfit for Yuma.
* Nagisa's last name is almost identical to Mami's last name, Tomoe. The only difference is the first syllable.
* In many languages, "bebe" means "baby". This fits with Mami's name, which is pronounced similar to "mommy".

==Etymology==
* Nagisa's given name is written in hiragana and has no particular meaning.
** It can mean "beach" or "water's edge" when written in kanji ({{lang|ja|渚}} or ({{lang|ja|汀}}). The "-sa" part can mean "sand" ({{lang|ja|沙}}) or ({{lang|ja|砂}}).
* The first character for Momoe ({{lang|ja|百}}) means "hundred", but also carries the connotation of "a lot of things". The second character ({{lang|ja|江}}) means "inlet" or "bay". "Momoe" could be translated as "a hundred rivers".

<blockquote>''"I came back 'cause I wanted to eat cheese one more time!"''<br>— Nagisa, [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion|Rebellion]].</blockquote>

{{nihongo|'''Nagisa Momoe'''|百江なぎさ|Momoe Nagisa}} is a character from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]].

Initially, she appears as Bebe, a version of [[Charlotte]].<ref name='rebellion'>Shown in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-]]</ref> After [[Homura Akemi]] tries to attack her, believing that she trapped them inside of a barrier, she reveals herself as Nagisa, an envoy of the [[Law of Cycles]], sent to Homura's barrier to try and save her alongside [[Ultimate Madoka]] and [[Sayaka Miki]].<ref name='rebellion'/>

==Appearance==
{{stub}}

===Magical Girl===
{{stub}}

==Personality and Traits==
Nagisa is usually rather childish, serving as the plucky and cheerful comic relief of the group, though she's shown to be more perceptive than she seems. She tends to speak rather eloquently (e.g. "Let me explain that from my own lips", "We were once bringers of hope, who despaired and spread our curses").

As Bebe, she is even more childish, often jumping around, and panicking at the thought of turning into cheese.

From an interview with the character designer, Ume Aoki, regarding Nagisa: ''"At the beginning I was imagining her as the type to do things at her own pace, a little selfish, but once her speech patterns were determined I started to feel like all of that was part of her innocence and youth, and was able to draw her naturally."''<ref>https://feral-phoenix.livejournal.com/685568.html#:~:text=At%20the%20beginning%20I%20drew,%20her%20naturally.</ref>

==Powers and Abilities==
According to the [[Rebellion Production Note]], she uses her horn to cast magic that makes her more self-assertive and greedy.<ref name='rebellionnote194'/> She can produce bubbles from her horn<ref name='rebellion'/>, the exact effect of the bubbles is unclear, but they were shown to be powerful enough to put cracks in a Witch's barrier.<ref name='rebellion'/>

After being taken into the [[Law of Cycles]], Nagisa gained the power to transform into her [[Charlotte|Witch form]] at will, possesing all her abilities.<ref name='rebellion'/> She can summon her Familiars, [[Pyotr]] and [[Polina]], no matter what form she is in.<ref name='rebellion'/> She has also been shown partially transforming, such as changing only her face to swallow some of her enemies, and then burp them out as explosive bubbles.<ref name='rebellion'/>

{{stub}}
In the [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]] universe, when her Soul Gem turns black Nagisa is able to summon her [[Doppel]], [[Charlotte]].<ref name='magireco'>Shown in [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]]</ref>

==History==
===In [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Rebellion-|Rebellion]]===
Prior to the beginning of ''Rebellion'', Madoka, [[Sayaka]] and Nagisa enter [[Homura]]'s witch barrier from the Law of Cycles. In order to stop Kyubey's plan to observe and control the Law of Cycles, Madoka entrusted her memories and powers to both Nagisa and Sayaka so they could reawaken her to save Homura at the right time. Nagisa later explains that she took the mission because she wanted to eat cheese again.

[[File:Cheese!.png|thumb|250px|left|Bebe, Nagisa's disguise]]
Once she enters Homura's barrier, Nagisa disguises herself as her Witch form (which Kyubey would not recognize). The other characters call her Bebe. While disguised, she stays at Mami's house and helps the magical girls fight [[Nightmare]]s. The memory altering effects of the barrier causes Mami to believe that Bebe is her oldest friend. Although her own memories are unaffected, Nagisa seems to reciprocate Mami's friendship.

Eventually Homura begins to discover the truth of the false world and suspects Nagisa/Bebe as the culprit due to her appearance as Charlotte. Homura tries to interrogate Bebe, but is stopped by Mami. Bebe escapes as Mami and Homura fight each other. When the battle concludes, Sayaka helps Homura escape from Mami, and Nagisa returns to her human form. She apologizes to Mami for deceiving her and explains the truth to Mami.

[[File:Rebellion Runes - 012847 - Nagisa invocation circles.jpg|thumb|Nagisa's regular form]]
Nagisa reappears as Bebe once Homura transforms into [[Homulilly]]. She transforms back into her human form and uses her weapon, an explosive bubble-blowing trumpet, to create cracks in Homulilly's barrier. Ultimately, the magical girls hold off Homulilly and her familiars long enough to break through the barrier, revealing the isolation field that Homura's soul gem was trapped in. Madoka calls out to Homura's remaining humanity and together they destroy the isolation field from within, foiling the Incubators' plot.

Once the barrier disappears, Ultimate Madoka descends from the sky along with a carriage containing both Sayaka and Nagisa. Madoka intends to take Homura into the Law of Cycles. However, Homura has been changed by her experiences in her barrier and thus grabs Madoka before she can take her soul gem. Homura then separates Madoka from the Law of Cycles and uses her new powers to rewrite reality. Nagisa is shown to be engulfed by the colors spilling out of Homura's soul gem and spreading to cover the universe.

In Homura's new reality, Nagisa is unable to return to the Law of Cycles. She is seen happily running about in her civilian outfit, implying that Homura has erased her memories of being a magical girl. It is also suggested Homura has suppressed her magical girl and witch powers, effectively turning Nagisa back into an ordinary human. Eventually Nagisa meets up with a group of kids her own age and leaves with them. It is implied that they are all going to school together.

At the end of the movie Mami saves Nagisa from falling packages of cheese, suggesting that they will become friends again in the new reality.

This is a list of minor named characters that appeared in the [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story]] game and related media. Most of these were faceless NPCs which used a simplified Live2D sprite.

This listing excludes the [[Puella Historia]] arc. For minor characters of that arc, see [[Minor Characters/Puella Historia|here]].

This listing also excludes any new characters introduced in [[Magia Exedra]], even if those characters relate to [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]]. See [[Minor Characters/Magia Exedra|here]] for those characters.

}}'''Mrs. Aki''', credited as {{nihongo|'''Mabayu's mother'''|まばゆの母|Mabayu no haha}} in the game files, is the deceased mother of [[Mabayu Aki]] and sister of [[Sakie Aki]]. She suffered from mysterious visions of the future and is the reason Mabayu made her contract with Kyubey.

Her surname is comprised of the kanji (愛), meaning "love", and (生), meaning "raw", "unrefined", "pure", or "undefiled", as well as "life" or "living".

==Aneka==
{{Nihongo|'''Aneka'''|アネカ|Aneka}} is the childhood friend and neighbour of [[Kush Irina]] from back when Kush was living abroad.<ref>[[Magia_Exedra_Story_Transcripts/Magical_Girl_-_Kush_Irina_-_Irreversible_Code#Irreversible_Code_-_Episode_5|Magia Exedra - Kush Irina's Magical Girl Story - Irreversible Code - Episode 5]]<br> '''Yakumo Mitama:''' You mentioned Aneka before. She was a Magical Girl?<br> '''Kush Irina:''' Yeah. She was my neighbor while I was living abroad.</ref>. She convinced her to become a Magical Girl before she turned into a Witch and was destroyed. She apparently comes back to life (or Kush sees a parallel universe counterpart of Aneka) in the event [[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl|Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]], but now an ordinary girl, lacking any memory of her time as a Magical Girl.

Her wish was for a "replacement" for her deceased younger sister, a girl she could be friends with (Kush).

Her given name happens to be a rare Russian name meaning "tiny grace", though it is uncertain if that connection was intentional.

The name might also be a pun on {{nihongo||姉|ane}}, meaning "older sister"<ref>https://jisho.org/word/%E5%A7%89</ref>, as Kush refers to Aneka as {{nihongo||お姉さん|onee-san}}<ref>[[Magia Record Story Only Dreamers ~ The Fable Watches the Dream of the Girl]]</ref>, also meaning "older sister" and using the same kanji<ref>https://jisho.org/word/%E3%81%8A%E5%A7%89%E3%81%95%E3%82%93</ref>.

==Trivia==
*Selema and [[Zi Ding Xiang]] make a cameo appearance in the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra|Magia Exedra]] event quest ''Magia Et Cetera Lighthouse Stamp Rally.''
*The official spelling of her name (Selema Terez, and not Selma Therese) is shown at the list of voice actors shown at the end of ''Walpurgisnacht Rising'' main trailer's English subtitles.


==Speculation==
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}
*It's possible that she and [[Zi Ding Xiang]] are both girls that were taken in by the [[Law of Cycles]], but because of [[Devil Homura|Homura's actions in Rebellion]] have been brought back into living, as this is seen with both [[Sayaka Miki]] and [[Nagisa Momoe]].
* It is speculated that she is the identity of [[Quitterie]] due to being often seen with Kyubey, as well as her costume containing several needles. She also resembles the [[Madoka_Magica_Mobage_Witches#Witch_of_Sewing|Witch of Sewing]] from [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica Mobage]]

==Story==
===Backstory===
Tart is the eldest of a family of 7, living with her mother, father, sister (Catherine) and three brothers in the small village of Domrémy in France. Tart’s adventures began when she followed her sister Catherine into the woods, following a fairy she had seen. The fairy turns out to be the familiar of a nearby grief seed that hatches into a witch before the girls. Catherine faints as several witch-kissed soldiers appear and amble towards Tart. Riz suddenly appears and knocks out the soldiers with the use of her daggers and shadow abilities. As she quickly dispatches them, the witch turns her fury towards Riz, who captures it with shadowy chains and impales it with her blade causing the witch to explode. Tart is amazed at this display as Riz explains that she and Kyubey were looking for her. They ask for her name and Kyubey nicknames her “Tart”. After Tart’s family appears looking for her and her sister, Tart faints from the stress and Riz brings the girls back to their home. Once Tart awakens, Riz awaits as Kyubey asks if she would consider making a contract with him. Tart’s father enters and asks if Riz would be able to work as a village guard for a time. During the following three years, Riz remained as a village guard and trained both Tart and Catherine in the art of sword fighting. Catherine quickly grows adept at her new skill as Tart struggles slightly. Due to Tart not deciding on a wish, Kyubey declares that he and Riz will have to leave soon. Riz goes to escort a shipment of goods the village is sending out when several thieves and bandits take advantage of Riz’s absence to burn the village to the ground, pillaging homes and slaughtering the villagers indiscriminately. Catherine is able to kill and wound some of the soldiers before she is impaled before Tart’s eyes. The soldiers leave, satisfied with their spoils. A short time later, Riz returns as Tart laments the loss of her sister and asks if she and her village can be restored with her wish. Kyubey affirms it can, but warns her it’s possible she may still lose both or other members of her family due to the war ravaging France. Tart makes her wish for the power to bring light to France. Before they leave, Tart cuts off her braid and places it on Catherine’s grave.

===During ''Tart Magica''===
{{Spoilerbox|
Tart first appeared in a flash forward in Chapter 1, where Tart stands tied to a wooden stake, her hair cropped short as she awaits her execution by fire. [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] attempts to run towards Tart but is stopped by a pair of armed guards. The scene then cuts to the present day as [[Elisa Celjska|Elisa]], Tart, Riz and Melissa are attempting to stop [[Minou]] from escaping yet again. They are deterred by [[Lame]], who is easily defeated. However Minou uses her abilities to cause Lame to fall into deep despair and instantly become a witch, fighting off the girls as she makes her escape.
The story then begins in a flashback with Tart reminiscing about the time that she first met Riz at her home town and the subsequent death of her sister Catherine at the hands of bandits resulting in Tart making her contract with Kyubey. Tart and Riz journey onward, with Tart asking what they should do next. Kyubey responds that there is much turmoil in France due to the lack of a true king sitting on the throne and reminds Tart that it is her duty also to defeat the witches that ravage France. On their journey to Vaucoleurs, Riz and Tart find that the town has been beset by a witch, as several witch-kissed soldiers aim their arrows at the two girls. Despite not being able to summon a weapon naturally, Tart is able to conjure a sword of light magic and disposes of the witch instantly. However, she used up vast amounts of magic in doing so to Riz’s dismay. Riz and Kyubey then explain how all magical girls irrevocably turn into witches if they use up all of their magic. Having defeated the witch, the girls are welcomed into the village where Lord Baurdicourt offers the girls what help he can and is able to secure an audience with the Dauphin for Tart. The girls then head out for Chinon after hearing the news of the French army’s defeat at Orleans by “three mere girls”. During their journey, Tart and Riz defeat more witches, but Riz warns Tart to better learn to control her powers before she enters battle since she drains her magic needlessly every time.

The girls soon arrive at Chinon, where they make announcement of their arrival and prepare for their audience with the Dauphin Charles. Charles decides to play a trick on Tart in order to test her and instructs Lord Gilles to sit on his throne in his place. As Tart enters the courtroom, both her and Kyubey sense something off about Gilles and announce to all that he is not the Dauphin. Somehow, Tart is able to sense who Charles really is among the courtiers and kneels before him. Stunned, Charles orders Tart to speak with him privately in his bedchambers. After affirming to Charles that she was indeed sent by God to place him on his rightful throne, Charles and Tart exit the room where he announces to all that La Pucelle is truly a messenger from God. After extensive testing by various theologians, her status as a messenger from God is confirmed to all, causing her fame to spread and more soldiers to volunteer for the war. Charles then assigns Lord Gilles and [[Etienne de Vignolles]] in charge of the troops that are to journey to Orleans, as Etienne assigns his daughter [[Melissa de Vignolles|Melissa]] to act as a handmaiden to Tart and Riz. Melissa introduces herself to Tart and Riz, who both insist on dispensing with the formalities. The group soon encounter a small village that has seemingly been burned to the ground. Etienne returns to the main group of soldiers to warn them of the dangers ahead as Melissa remains in the village with Tart and Riz. Soon they encounter a witch’s barrier in from of the dilapidated church in the center of town. As Tart and Riz do battle with the witch inside, Kyubey takes Melissa with him into the barrier in order for her to watch the magical girls do battle and convince her to contract as well. As the witch is about to attack Melissa, she is saved by a barrier placed by [[Pernelle]]. Pernelle scolds Kyubey for bringing in outsiders as a magical girl is attempting to do battle and hands Tart a magically-imbued sword. Tart uses the sword to defeat the witch easily while conserving most of her magic power. As Pernelle introduces herself, she soon leaves through one of her portals.

The group slowly yet surely make their way to Orleans. Along the way they are able to recapture several forts that had been taken by the English forces and are soon able to camp not far from the outskirts of Orleans as they prepare to do battle the next day. Tart shows off her newly embroidered standard with a design of Kyubey on it to her friends. During the nightly revelry, Melissa reveals to Tart and Riz that she had been thinking about becoming a magical girl ever since Kyubey said she had the potential for it. Tart prefers that she stay as she is rather than risk herself in battle. The following day the soldiers and the girls began their assault on the fortress, the soldiers leaning ladders against the fortress’ walls but [[Corbeau]] is there to greet them and summons black feathers that rain down and impale the soldiers. She leaps down to where Riz and Tart stand. Corbeau knocks Tart away with a single blow before trading blows with Riz. Despite the injuries she’s taken, Corbeau heals herself with magic and Riz notices how incredibly dark her soul gem has become. Corbeau laughs as Riz realizes the truth: Corbeau is able to push her impurities onto other magical girls. By now Tart has managed to struggle her way back to where Riz and Corbeau are and offers to help. Riz tells her to stay back and Corbeau agrees, snapping her finger which causes her servant, [[Flèche]], to aim several arrows at Tart, a few of which find their mark. Riz looks up to see Flèche watching them from one of the fortress' towers. Corbeau charges at Riz once more and is able to pin her down using her black feathers. As Flèche continues to shoot arrows at Tart, Corbeau walks to where Tart lays. Etienne sneaks up and strikes at Corbeau from behind in an attempt to defend Tart, but Corbeau also throws Etienne into the ground face first, knocking him unconscious. Melissa rushes to her father's side and Riz calls out to her, telling her to get away from the front lines as soon as possible. Corbeau tells Flèche to make sure nothing is left of La Hire and Flèche conjures a large spear-like arrow and fits it to her bow. As she unleashes the arrow aimed at Melissa and her father, Tart suddenly stands before them and takes the full brunt of the attack, sparing the two humans. As the dust settles, Tart asks Melissa if she's alright, and thanks heaven she is as Tart stands there with a large hole the size of her fist in her right shoulder. Tart collapses face first as Melissa calls out her name. As Corbeau laughs, the dust settling, Melissa stands before her, now a magical girl as well.

Melissa battles Corbeau, attempting to defeat her with her matter disintegration magic but fails. Corbeau is surprised that Melissa is now a magical girl and doesn’t seem to recognize Kyubey. Riz pulls Melissa and Tart into her shadow realm and explains the significance of soul gems. She asks Tart to hold onto Riz and Melissa’s soul gems as she battles off Flèche and they battle Corbeau. Riz pops out of a shadow behind Corbeau, throwing her off as she realizes that Riz can jump from shadow to shadow. As she throws a feather dagger at her, Riz disappears into a shadow once more before reappearing at Corbeau's feet behind her. Riz fends off her attacks with her dagger as Corbeau taunts her, making fun of her for only defending herself and not attacking. Tart and Melissa materialize behind Flèche and Corbeau respectively. Both of them swing their weapons at their opponents but are unable to successfully connect their attacks. Corbeau calls out to Flèche to provide support as she fends off attacks from both Melissa and Riz. She then calls to Flèche to finish off La Pucelle with another attack like the one that nearly killed her earlier. Tart prepares another attack against Flèche, but Flèche has dropped down one side of the tower they were fighting on. As Flèche runs backwards down the side of the tower, she launches arrow after arrow right at Tart, each one finding their mark. She turns and using her momentum is able to run sideways across the walls of the fortress, launching more arrows up in her wake. As the dust settles, Tart remains unharmed. Corbeau is furious at all this and demands Flèche use her full magic, as if she intends to drain herself dry. Tart braces herself for the incoming attack and thinks back to when they were still on their journey over. As Tart remembers the words of Riz telling her that she too will trust in that hope, she powers herself up and conjures a standard and lance with her magic just as Flèche is finishing powering up her final arrow attack. Tart unleashes a large beam of pure magical energy as she uses her ultimate move: La Lumiere. The attack destroys the tower where Flèche was standing as well as leaving a sizeable hole in the fortress.

Corbeau returns her attention and attacks on Riz and Melissa, who are able to coordinate a few successful attacks of their own on Corbeau. Corbeau soon realizes something is wrong as her soul gem begins to darken from the exertion of battle. Back at the scene of battle, Flèche stirs slightly as Minou appears before her. She had planned to gather up what was left of her but instead she conjures a seal with her magic and presses it to Flèche, causing her to scream. Corbeau, meanwhile, laments the impurities of her soul gem as Riz asks her how it feels to be defeated by her own power. As she summons black feathers around her, Minou walks over and calls out to Corbeau. She tells her she knows better than to use *that* while there are still English troops in the vicinity. Corbeau warns Minou away since she will automatically absorb any impurities in Corbeau's soul gem. But Minou isn't worried and tells her [[Lapine]] had been asking for her. She tells Corbeau to leave everything to Flèche instead as the two disappear through one of Minou’s portals. The remaining French soldiers with Gille at the lead finally arrive at the fortress just as Flèche's witch form has spawned and stands ready and waiting in the courtyard. Tart leaps out from the tower and strikes at the witch's head with her sword. While the attack wasn't quite enough to stop the witch, it powers up its attack and Tart only barely manages to turn its head just as it fires off its attack. She grips her sword tightly and slashes the witch down the middle, parting it neatly in half. The witch explodes and is finished off.

Melissa congratulates Tart but Tart assures her it wasn't just her who finished off the witch. As the smoke clears from a gun muzzle, Elisa stands at the edge of a cliff side some considerable distance away. Two men stand behind her, her uncle and the constable who praises her shot. They wonder if this was enough to secure the fate of Orleans and can see that the tide is now beginning to turn in this war. Elisa tells them to leave it to her as she will offer her greetings to the Dauphin Charles in person as well as introduce herself to La Pucelle. The leader of the English forces, John Talbot, breaks ranks and asks if they can be allowed to leave since they clearly stand no chance against the French army. Both Batard and Tart agree and allow the remaining English forces to leave with their lives. Batard declares Orleans liberated from the English much to the gusto of the French forces.

At the town of Loches, the Dauphin personally welcomes the retinue and congratulates them on their victory. It seems Elisa and her uncle raced ahead to inform the Dauphin of the news. Elisa introduces herself to Tart, Riz, and Melissa and telepathically informs them she too is a magical girl. She was sent on orders of her mother the Holy Roman Empress to see for herself the powers of La Pucelle and to render assistance if she is truly a messenger from God. Having witness the battle at Orleans, they offer their services to the Dauphin Charles. Sometime later, Elisa challenges Tart to a friendly duel but due to her battle experience she is able to defeat Tart easily. Angered, Melissa herself challenges Elisa to a duel and throws her bodily into the air. That evening, Elisa pouts in her room as Melissa enters in her maid’s uniform, offering refreshments and an apology for losing her temper. Elisa dismisses her apology, since it was a duel after all and promises to not taunt Tart in the future. After asking for Tart, and being informed that she was called to court, Elisa and her uncle head off to find a certain person.

In the Great Hall of the Chateau de Loches, Tart argues for the Dauphin to be coronated at Reims as soon as possible. While Gilles and Batard agree, the chamberlain has his own opinion on how to proceed when the Dauphin’s son burst in and is overjoyed to meet Tart. Tart promises to have his father coronated as soon as possible, the Dauphin agreein to this plan due to the prompting of his son. While the chamberlain wonders what could have brought the child to the hall at this exact moment, he eyes Oswald and Elisa who are speaking familiarly with the Dauphin’s wife.

At the city of Patay, Minou, Corbeau and Lapine stand at the head of the English forces as Lapine jumps up and down in joy at the thought of finally being able to play after waiting for so long. At the head of the French forces stand Tart, Elisa, Melissa and Riz as they note the three magical girls facing them but not recognizing Lapine as they hadn't met her before now. Corbeau turns to John Talbot and tells him they'll be acting as they please. Before they can begin, Lapine races ahead of her sisters and commences her attack. However, Elisa and Melissa are able to strike her down immediately, causing her soul gem to darken and Lapine to turn into a witch. Suddenly, the soldiers' weapons from both armies as well as Riz and Melissa's weapons begin to float in the air. Tart looks around bewildered as the soldiers fall back, unable to proceed with their fight so long as they remain without weapons. Only Tart and Elisa are able to retain their weapons thanks to the magics Pernelle has imbued them with. Lapine, now in a rabbit-like witch form, floats beneath the weapons as she directs them at Melissa and Riz. The weapons, now under the command of the witch, fly straight at the girls damaging them as Tart attempts to knock as many as she can away with her sword. Elisa, meanwhile, continues to shoot down as many of the weapons as possible when Melissa suddenly notices a huge shadow looming on them and calls out to Riz. The witch has amassed the weapons and shields she stole into a giant sword-like shape which starts to fall towards them. Riz calls Melissa to get into her shadow where she can pull them to safety but the eyes on the witch's cape flash at them, causing Melissa and Riz to revert from their magical girl forms to their human forms.

The sword-shaped conglomeration of weapons bears down on them and would have crushed them had Tart not suddenly appeared in front of them and slashed at the weapons with her own sword. Melissa, Riz, Tart, and Elisa revert back into their normal forms every time Lapine or her rabbit disks flash their eyes at them. Just as they’re getting their bearings, Corbeau charges at Riz who is just barely able to block her attack with her bare arms. Corbeau and Riz trade blows as Melissa tries to assist as best she can without her weapon, imbuing rocks with her magic and throwing them at Corbeau. Elisa and Tart attempt to coordinate a surprise attack on Lapine, but the eyes on her cape have the same ability as her rabbit eyes and they both revert to normal girls temporarily. Despite this, the two girls are eventually able to distract Lapine and successfully defeat her with Elisa’s rifle-turned-canon. However, her defeat only causes her to revert back into a magical girl, owing to the nature of her wish and the abilities it granted her. Minou retreats with an unconscious Lapine into one of her portals as Corbeau unleashes her Danse Macabre. Reaper-like skeletons fly out of the magic circles Corbeau summoned, black feathers flying out from their eyeless sockets. Everyone begins to double over in pain, wondering what's happening to their bodies. Riz looks at the tumor-like boils on her hands and recognizes it as something she's seen before. Corbeau laughs and reminds Riz she told her this fight would be a massacre and tells them all to show her the dance of death. As both the French and English forces alike lay doubled in agony, Corbeau beats down the weakened magical girls. Tart struggles to her feet and attempts to fight Corbeau, but is too weakened to do more than swing her sword feebly. Corbeau picks her up by the neck and mocks Tart’s attempts to fight back. As Tart warns her that she’s hurting her English allies as well with her magic, Corbeau scoffs and responds that she doesn’t care since her magic will kill everyone who comes near. She demands to know what it matters since everyone must die eventually, just like Tart’s sister. At these words, Tart's soul gem shines brightly and Corbeau's fingers are bent backwards as the force of Tart's magic caused her to be released from her grip. Tart glows with the power of her magic and an immense magic circle of Tart's doing appears in the sky overhead, casting light down on the soldiers below.

As the light bathes the battlefield, all of the soldiers and magical girls both English and French alike begin to stand and realize they've been healed of plague as well as their wounds. Corbeau is enraged by this and as she demands to know who Tart really is, Tart leaps up and slashed down her sword with full force at Corbeau, ultimately defeating her as the force of it knocks her into some nearby woods. She lands against the trunk of a tree and falls to her knees, greatly weakened. Tart aims her blade at Corbeau, telling her this is the end as Corbeau tries to stand. But all Corbeau can think of is her two sisters, Lapine and Minou. Before she can deliver the finishing blow, a portal appears behind Corbeau and Minou steps through. {{spoiler|While Corbeau is overfilled with joy at the sight of her sister, Minou kneels down and takes Corbeau’s soul gem in her hands, informing her this is the end. Confused, Corbeau asks her why and if she doesn't see how much she loves her and Lapine. Minou confirms that this is what she suspected and says she stopped serving their benefactor a long time ago. As Corbeau yells out once more to Minou asking her why she can't understand how much she loves them, Minou shatters Corbeau's soul gem and tells her she doesn't love her any longer. Corbeau falls forward, calling out her sisters' names as she dies. Minou tells her that at the very least she will tell Lapine that Corbeau died honorably in battle. Tart angrily demands she explain herself as Riz calls her heartless. As Minou summons a portal, she giggles and says it'll be something to look forward to as she gathers Corbeau's body and takes it back with her, leaving the heroines alone in the woods.}}

The two turn to go, knowing the battle isn't over yet. Out in the nearby woods Tart, Melissa, Riz and Elisa are just able to hear the cries of the troops and wonder what may be happening. Pernelle appears from behind a tree and informs the girls that the French has won a victory. After asking how they’re doing, Pernelle informs them of a prophecy spreading throughout France that predicts that Tart will save France. While Charles had the right to inherit the throne, it was a woman that sold that right to the King of England and now Tart has appeared and reclaimed Orleans, opening a path for Charles to be coronated. Thus far the prophecy is fulfilling itself. Elisa and Tart both argue that it was due to their and the soldiers’ efforts that France is being liberated and not just some prophecy. Pernelle smiles and tells her to never hold back in saying what she feels from her heart. But she asks that Tart never forgets that, while a larger fate may be at work here, it is Tart who is at the center of that flow of fate. As she magically teleports away, she tells them to make their way to Reims where she may meet them again. Now that the road to Reims was secured, Dauphin Charles was coronated as the King of France. With this, the wishes of La Pucelle as well as the people of France were realized.

Charles and the other courtiers celebrate the coronation of Charles when suddenly the lights cut out, leaving the room plunged in total darkness. A scream is heard and as they turn towards the sound, a light can be seen. But this is no ordinary light, it is several women burning alive and screaming as between the flames, Minou and another woman can be seen walking towards Charles. Riz and Tart quickly transform and stand ready to defend the king. They demand he run towards safety, but Charles stammers and looks like he is about to scream as he recognizes the smiling woman who stands before Minou. As he collapses to the ground, he demands to know what she is doing here. It is his mother, the woman who sold out France to the English, [[Isabeau|Isabeau de Baviere]]. As Isabeau appears in the courtroom, Riz, Melissa and Tart stand ready to defend the newly crowned king, already transformed into their magical girl states. Charles begs Tart to save him from his mother, the queen, and demands she kill her. At his word Tart rushes forward and stabs her sword straight through the queen's heart as she stands there. Charles initially laughs at this display, but the queen smiles as a white miasma escapes from the queen's wound and she merely stands there smiling. Tart leaps back, certain she had injured the queen but thinking to herself that it didn't feel like she had stabbed her. Riz summons her shadowy tendrils and ties the queen up as Elisa and Melissa both swing their weapons directly at her. Isabeau merely smiles more broadly, completely unharmed from both their attacks. She raises her finger and shoots a beam of magical energy at the two girls, causing them to be knocked away hard. Tart draws her power to herself and summons her standard, unleashing her "La Lumiere" attack directly on Isabeau, the excess power blasting out the castle's windows. However, the dust clears and Isabeau remains where she stands, not a hair on her head harmed. Tart is amazed that she remained undamaged even after using that much magic power on her, but Minou sneaks up behind Tart and knocks her down with her whip. Isabeau staggers suddenly and whispers something to Minou as Minou stands and declares the words of her queen "In one year's time death shall befall La Pucelle!" Minou and Isabeau leave through Minou's portal as Charles cries and the magical girls tend to their wounds.

The following day, after the group gathers to discuss that night’s events. Tart's followers want to liberate Paris as quickly as possible. However, the chamberlain La Remoille advising the haggard King Charles, sending entreaties to the English forces asking for a ceasefire. The result of the endless delays was that the army had to wait until close to August before it could depart from Reims. Finally the order came for the army to advance toward Paris. From August 1429, Charles showed no signs of recovery. In fact, just when everyone thought he had finally given the order to liberate Paris on September 9, only two days later, the order was rescinded. Shortly thereafter, the order came to disband his army altogether. It seemed the king's confusion was worsening. All of the forces who supported La Pucelle were completely disbanded. But Tart went questing throughout France for some eight months, virtually alone, searching for Isabeau. Finally in Compiegne, a town in the north of France, they discovered a witch’s barrier with the symbol of a cuckoo at the center. As they enter the barrier, they are greeted by Minou who summons an army of magical girls through her many portals. As the girls arrive, Minou summons branding irons and brands the girls, causing them to fall into deep despair and transform into witches instantly. She commands the witch army forward as she declares this to be the appointed time at which death would befall La Pucelle.

Tart, Riz, Melissa and Elisa stand ready as they face down an army of witches that Minou has summoned to destroy them. The first witch, who appears like a gigantic woman in a dress with a tassel for a head, brings her arm down on our heroes who are just barely able to leap out of harm’s way. Tart blocks the witch's arm with her bare strength and slashes at it with her sword. The cleaved half of the arm falls heavily on the ground behind her but before she can react, the hand of another witch reaches for Tart. However Melissa is able to block the attack on Tart with her polearm just in time, warning Tart to not overdo it. Riz calls out to the others, advising them to stay together as there are a vast number of witches they must face. Tart summons her strength as she prepares to take out all of the witches at once but Riz warns her not to do so, knowing Minou's strategy is to deplete their magic as much as possible. As Elisa fires left and right with her rifle, she tells Tart she won't have to use her magic since she'll take out all the witches for her. Minou watches the battle rage on before her and decides that this small contingency of witches won't be enough to stop them and turns to where Lapine now stands and informs her of her chance to take revenge for the loss of their sister. Lapine is enraged and more than eager to tear them limb from limb. She begins by summoning her rabbit-shaped discs and impeding their magical girl transformations. Despite this, Riz is easily able to dodge her attacks and slashes at her rabbit-shaped discs as Lapine is not used to combat the way her sister Corbeau was. When Riz informs Lapine that it was in fact {{spoiler| Minou who killed her sister}}, this causes Lapine to snap with rage and abandon all thinking.

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

Tart sinks to her knees in tears as the witch’s barrier dissipates and she finds herself surrounded by enemy soldiers, where she is then taken prisoner. Despite being the one who placed him on the throne, King Charles refused to pay the ransom for Tart and she was subsequently sold to the English and placed on trial for heresy. The trial was filled with French judges who favored the English and Tart was declared guilty. Tart was then hidden away by Isabeau and Minou and hidden in a prison cell no one knew where. One day, Tart lays on the barren floor of her cell, Kyubey talking to her and encouraging her to get up once more. Minou enters Tart’s cell with Queen Isabeau and begins to lash her with her whip, berating Tart and Kyubey. As Tart attempts to defend Kyubey, commotion is heard from outside. The French army has amassed and are attempting to liberate Tart now that they've discovered her location. Minou goes outside to deal with the soldiers personally as Isabeau follows behind her. The soldiers know they'll be unable to defeat Minou, but are prepared to lose their lives in order to buy the distraction that Elisa, Melissa, and Pernelle need to rescue Tart. The three magical girls are able to subdue the remaining soldiers they encounter on their way. They break into the prison cell where they embrace Tart and are finally able to encourage her to stand up and fight once more. Back out on the battlefield, Minou lashes her whip repeatedly, causing the soldiers to be thrown into the air by the force of her attacks.

Batard and Richmont worry they won't be able to do anything more than evade her attacks as La Hire rallies the troops once more with a battle-cry for La Pucelle. Isabeau makes her way outside, Minou humbling herself before her. Isabeau waves her hands before her which causes the troops to collapse to their knees, their strength being sucked out from them. As she aims her hand forward, a magic circle having formed around it, Tart stabs a standard into the ground before her and blocks her next move. Minou orders the magical girl slaves she brought with her to stop Tart, but Elisa and Melissa hold them off so Tart can race in towards Isabeau. Once more her sword attacks seem to have no effect on the queen. Isabeau raises her hands once more and fires a beam of magic directly at her. As the dust settles, Tart looks up from behind her shield to find that [[Pernelle]] has blocked the attack with her own magic circle, explaining to Tart that Isabeau is immune to attacks due to someone else's wish.

{{Spoilerbox|about=the endgame|
Kyubey and Pernelle explain to Tart that Isabeau is now part magical girl, part witch, and part incubator thanks to her and Lapine’s wish. Minou declares to all that she wished for Isabeau to be undefeated by any magical girl. Isabeau transforms into her witch state as the empty shell of her human body sits cradled in an enormous hand jutting from the ground nearby. As Tart, Elisa and Melissa continues the struggle against the witch Crepuscule de la Reine (Twilight of the Queen), all of their attacks having no effect on the witch. Tart’s soul gem grows black with impurities as she reaches her limit, when she suddenly hears the voice of Riz reminding her of her sword training back in her home village. From before Tart, Riz's soul gem materializes from a shadow as Riz tells her that her final vow was for her soul to remain with her from that day forward. Even if Riz's body was lost, her soul remained behind like her shadow, always by Tart's side. Tart’s gauntlet turns black with Riz’s soul gem encased on the back. As Tart’s soul gem crackles with impurities, she slashes her sword down and successfully injures the witch. Due to Riz's wish, Tart’s soul gem has been prevented from transforming into a grief seed, making her more than just a magical girl. Before Tart can finish her off, Isabea's body begins to shake as a larger body emerges from underneath, a second larger witch form that causes the cathedral to crumble under the size and might of this new body as everyone gazes up in terror at the true form of Crepuscule de la Reine. However, Tart remains determined as ever as she faces down her foe. Isabeau begins to charge her cannon and aims it at Tart who immediately summons her standard and smashes through the center of it, causing the cannon to crumble. As Isabeau flies above the ruined cathedral, Tart summons a massive magic circle in the sky above her in an attack known as the Gate of Heaven. The center of the circle slides open like a gateway as crosses of light pierce Isabeau and hold her in place. Tart leaps up and swings her weapon down at the witch, slicing the massive body in half and then half again. As the pieces of the witch's corpse fall back to earth, the gate closes and disappears. Tart's shadowy gauntlet also begins to dissipate as Riz's soul gem crumbles. Tart thanks Riz for protecting her until the very end.
}}
Melissa and Elisa race over to Tart, overjoyed that the battle is finally over and their greatest enemy defeated. But Tart faints, weak from the overexertion her soul gem has taken due to the battle. Pernelle hands the girls a grief seed in order to purify her gem but before they can do so, they're interrupted by the lamentations of Minou who stands over her mother's human body. Though her soul was that of a witch, her original body still remains thanks to her wish, but it is now quite literally an empty shell. Melissa and Elisa prepare themselves to defend Tart as Minou threatens to kill them herself no matter what may happen. Suddenly, Minou's soul gem shatters. She demands answers and Pernelle provides them: having been created by an imperfect creator she lost her powers the moment Isabeau was destroyed. Minou is devastated by the news and orders her soldiers to capture and kill them all but Tart offers herself as a prisoner in exchange for the lives of the French soldiers. Minou accepts gleefully. In May 1431 Tart was burned at the stake in a public square. Melissa and Elisa are present as Tart offers her final words of gratitude to the friends that were with her throughout her journey. Pernelle also is in the crowd and asks Kyubey why he didn’t just allow Tart to become a witch, but Kyubey responds that Tart did what he asked of him and he is repaying the favor by allowing her to die on her own terms. Just before the flames consume Tart entirely, she says, "I want to say to everything in the world...merci vraiment! Thank you!" as her soul takes on the form of a white dove that flies out of the flames.

===Tart in [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story|Magia Record]]===
''See [[Tart in Magia Record]] and [[Tart (Final ver.)]]''<br>

''A Magical Girl from medieval France known today as Jeanne d'Arc. Upon the death of her dear sister, Catherine, she resolved to save France from the brink of ruin. Simple, innocent, and trusting of others, she fondly refers to Cube (Kyubey) as "Monsieur Angel".''

Tart appears in Magia Record as a playable unit, which shows her first voice acted and animated appearance. She is mostly the same, although she is referred to as "Darc".

===In [[Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Anime|Magia Record Anime]]===
Tart makes one minor cameo in [[Magia Record Episode 24: How Long Do We Continue Being Magical Girls?|Episode 24]] of the Magia Record Anime. When Kyubey talks about the history of Magical Girls, a [[:File:Anireco 24 - History of meguca.png|mural]] depicting multiple Magical Girls is shown, with Tart being one of them.

===Tart in [[Magia Exedra]]===
''See [[Tart in Magia Exedra]]''
==Powers and Abilities==
Because of {{spoiler|Riz Hawkwood's wish,}} Tart is an abnormally powerful magical girl who Kyubey calls an "anomaly." She often destroys her enemies with blasts of energy, usually channeled through a magically-composed weapon. While incredibly powerful, these blast drain a great deal of her magic, taking a heavy burden on her. She has high offensive and defensive abilities, able to take direct hits from other magical girls without harm, and these abilities were enhanced even further after her near-death experience at the hands of Corbeau and her subsequent revival as a result of Melissa's wish. After her revival, Tart demonstrated the ability to conjure a flag standard that she could use to fire her most powerful attack "La Lumiere." Upon meeting with another magical girl named Pernelle, Tart was gifted a sword known as the "Épée de Clovis," which was forged with metal that had magical properties and was housed at the church of St. Catherine. This allowed her to channel smaller amounts of her magic into the sword and made it easier for her to conserve her magical power in battle.

When Corbeau used her Danse Macabre to infect both the English and French armies with bubonic plague, including any magical girls, Tart was able to use her abilities to summon a magical circle in the sky (similar to Madoka's attack), which rained down on the populace below. Everyone who had been infected with the plague were subsequently healed. During her final battle with Isabeau, Tart summoned a magic circle in the sky once again, this time opening like a gate from which powerful beams of light shapes like crosses shoot down, piercing her enemy. This ultimate attack was named "The Gates of Heaven", in contrast to Riz's "Gates of Hell" attack.

Later, during her final fight with Isabeau {{spoiler|she gains Riz's soul gem as well as her powers. Now armed with the powers of Light and Shadow, she returns to using her original light sword and gains the ability to transform it into her pennon, a blade, Riz's scythe, and Riz's daggers. According to Magia Archive, she would have also been able to transform it into a whip but it was never shown in the manga}}.

==Observations==
* She is known as Jeanette by her friends and family, and referred to as 'La Pucelle' by the French soldiers and officials. The later is a shortened version of '<i><b>La Pucelle d'Orléans</b></i>' <i>(The Maid of Orléans)</i>, a common nickname for Joan of Arc. On it's own, <i>'La Pucelle'</i> can be translated as <b>"The Maiden"</b>.
* She is a lightweight when it comes to drinking, as even a single cup of wine can turn her head and cause her to glomp onto her friends Riz and Melissa.

==Etymology==
Kyubey asked Jeanne to spell her name out since it would be easier for him, however Jeanne was not very literate and was only taught to write her name by the village priest. After looking at her name, Kyubey decides her surname "Tart" sounded better and decides to refer to her as that.

See [[wikipedia:Name_of_Joan_of_Arc|wikipedia article on Joan of Arc's names]].

==Trivia==
*The poem appearing in the prologue, as Tart burns, is [[wikipedia:Satanism_and_Witchcraft_(book)|''La Sorcière'']] (''Satanism and Witchcraft'' in its English translation) by [[wikipedia:Jules_Michelet|Jules Michelet]]. The book details the supposed origins and lifestyle of witches, which fits with how Jeanne D'arc was burned in real life for "being a witch".
*The design of the Épée de Clovis is based on [[wikipedia:Joyeuse|Joyeuse]], legendary sword of Charlemagne.
* In Magia Record:
**Tart, both in her normal and final form, was event-limited and could only be obtained in the gacha.
**Her final form featured [[Riz Hawkwood]] in her 4-star card and various animations.
**Her Doppel's name, "La Pucelle de Blancheur" means "The White/Pure Maiden"
**In the NA release of ''Magia Record'', Tart has been renamed "Darc".
** Her Magia is French for "The Light". This is a reference to her ability and her enormous strength and power.
** Her 1st Magia for her final form is French for "The perfect irregular," while her second Magia is French for "The door to paradise."
** She shares a voice actress with [[Mitama Yakumo]] and [[Tsubasa Hanekawa]].

WizardFlower: /* Sumire */

==Relatives==

Why are you showing each relative's full name? I think it makes more sense to only show the given name as long as they share the same surname, because that's assumed. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:54, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

Oh some relatives had full names already and I understood that it was the way we currently went with in the wiki. (Ntm most wikis usually include full name in Relatives section.
[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 21:06, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

I don't know of anything to suggest that one way is preferred over the other on this wiki. I feel that it's pointless and redundant to include the surnames when they're the same, though. And what other wikis do is their own business. Anyway, I'm just stating my opinion, not trying to force anything. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:09, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

== Sumire ==

I was just wondering, what's your source on determining [[Sumire Akane]]'s school? It seems you were the one to add her to the [[Schools]] page, so I assume you had a reason. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 19:45, 11 October 2025 (UTC)

Hi! As I recall, in Sumire's first appearance in chapter 7(?), the girls mention Sumire is from their school and that Maki is her teammate in the school's football club. ~ [[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 20:41, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

==Game Info==
{{Magia Exedra Game Info|character=Iroha Tamaki}}

==Summary==
Iroha came to Kamihama to decipher her strange dreams. Kind-hearted, she tends to worry too much about others. She's a technoklutz and not up on the latest trends. Usually reserved, she can be a fighter when it counts.
===Side Story===

==Appearances==
{{Exedra Story Appearances|character=Iroha Tamaki}}

==Trivia==
* Even though her Strada Futuro Kioku art is set in [[Boxwood]]'s labyrinth, the witch doesn't appear in the game.
** The witch herself is exclusive to the story of the [[Magia Record Anime]], even though Magia Exedra follows the story of the [[Magia Record|Magia Record Game]].
*** Furthermore, the Doppel of Silence special attack shows off Giovanna, who uses her [[:File:Episode 5 Giovanna Attacks 2.png|anime design]].
* For reasons unknown, in the [[Magia_Exedra_Story_Transcripts/Magia_Record_Main_Story_-_Rumor_of_the_Anonymous_AI|Rumor of the Anonymous AI]] story section, Iroha's Doppel's name is "Griseldis" instead of "Giovanna". The image can be seen [[:File:Adv_still_99_0010.png|here]]. This however is not true for her unit "Doppel of Silence" in which it is shown that her name is still Giovanna.
** Griseldis, also spelled as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griselda_(folklore) Griselda], is a figure in European folklore. Notably, a version of her tale was included in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Decameron The Decameron] by the Italian writer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Boccaccio Giovanni Boccaccio], whose name is the masculine variant of Iroha's Doppel's name in Magia Record.
** Given the Doppel's bird theme, it might also be a reference to the [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basra_reed_warbler Barsa reed warbler], or ''Acrocephalus griseldis''.
** Assuming ''Magia Exedra'' is set in a different timeline (its possible for Witches to differ from timeline to timeline; see [[Oktavia von Seckendorff]]), this would create a plot hole as Ultimate Madoka states Iroha becomes a Magical Girl only in the ''Magia Record'' timeline.

WizardFlower: Undo revision 149807 by Cutiehealer (talk) It's said in volume 3, it might be chapter 16 but take that with a grain of salt, definitely said in-story though

{{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
Iroha and the others finally know the truth about magical girls. The friends and allies of Mikazuki Villa are drawn into the Wings of Magius.

;Volume 8
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!

*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.

Talk:Hohzuki City

WizardFlower:

Could someone with access to the Japanese raws please add the kanji (or at least kana) for the city's name? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 05:49, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
::Can't access raws, but JP wikis and resources seem to list it as "ホオズキ市" (hoozuki-shi), in katakana with "shi" (city) in kanji. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 10:43, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
::Huh… I never expected to see katakana. I was hoping for kanji so I could figure out the meaning of the name, but if there are no kanji available then that becomes quite a bit harder (and speculative)… ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 16:13, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
:::The only possible meanings I can find for ホオ are "cheeks" or "magnolia"… so maybe it's easier than I thought? If the ズキ is meant to be "moon", then "magnolia" seems to fit with that pretty well. Are there other possibilities for ズキ? ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 16:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
:::Looks like I may have gotten the kana wrong. Moon would be ヅキ, I think? Though it's not normally written in katakana, but that's beside the point. Also, Wikipedia claims that the ヅ character (along with its corresponding hiragana) is uncommon, so maybe rendaku of ツ is normally written as ズ? Anyway… if it's スキ with rendaku rather than ツキ with rendaku, then other possible meanings I can see are "gap" or "like". To be honest though, the possible meaning of "moon" still seems the most sensible interpretation… ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 14:16, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
::::Hoozuki is physalis, also known as the Chinese lantern plant. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/ホオズキ [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 18:43, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
:::That's definitely a plausible reason for them to write it in katakana, since apparently that's common for the names of plants and animals at least in some contexts. I'm not sure why I didn't think of checking Japanese wikipedia myself… ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:50, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

I have the raws, if you guys can tell me which volume or page the school's name shows up I can get the proper name for it. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 16:38, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
:I found a reference in volume 3. Looks like it's page 34. It's the panel where Tsubaki's death is reported on the television. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:50, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
:Hohzuki's two known schools go by a Ward name (Akanegasaki and Yuunagi) so no point in hunting 'em down, let alone theyre already in the Schools page! ~ [[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 23:57, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

User talk:Karminja

2023-11-28T05:23:31Z

WizardFlower:

==Moka and Maria==

# I would like to know your source.
# Please pay more attention to the category links at the bottom of each page.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:18, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

I searched about Moka and Maria being part of Wings of Magius, but I didn't found any source saying they were part of Wings of Magius at all. The only thing I found was Hagumu saying that both her friends joined Kamihama Magia Union while she made her own faction. The only thing I found is that Alina once saved Moka from a witch, and like Karin she didn't think Alina was a bad person like everybody said.
~ [[User:Karminja| Karminja]]

Hmm. There was at one point a reference to [[Maria Yuki|Maria]] being revealed as a member during [[Hagumu Azumi|Hagumu's]] side story, but I don't have a translation of that particular one, so I can't confirm or deny it. The reference was removed on [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Wings_of_the_Magius&type=revision&diff=113931&oldid=113930 November 18, 2021].

Both of them were added without explanation on [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Wings_of_the_Magius&type=revision&diff=106740&oldid=106732 March 20, 2021].

So, nothing I have seen confirms (or denies) any of the following:

* That Maria is Hagumu's friend
* That Moka is Haguku's friend
* That Maria was in WoM (at least one person thought Hagumu's MGS shows this, but I can't confirm)
* That Moka was in WoM

However, friendship between Hagumu and Maria or Moka seems slightly strange given how she's always seen together with [[Shigure Miyabi|Shigure]]. Where it says Hagumu's friends joined the union, does it say who those friends are? If they're not explicitly named I would be more inclined to take them as nameless Daito or Kosho girls rather than Maria and Moka. And where does it say that?

One way or another, if it ''is'' determined one or both of them were never in WoM, the category links on their pages also need to be removed, not just the reference in General Info. Otherwise, they'll still be listed in [[:Category:Wings of the Magius members]].

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:11, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

The only thing I found was Hagumu saying both Maria and Moka are her friends (they invited her to celebrate Hinamatsuri together) and that both are in Kamihama Magia Union in the "Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri" login event story (there it also appears Hagumu's mom). But she never said anything about them being past members of WoM, also I checked Maria's MSS and it also doesn't mention WoM at all. I'll search for Hagumu and Moka's MSS to see if I can find anything. Thanks by the correction.

~ [[User:Karminja| Karminja]]

Do you know where that login event (I guess it's [[Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|this one]]?) fits within the main story? For example, is it during Arc 1, or post Arc 1? Maybe even during Arc 2?

(By the way, the conventional way to sign comments on the wiki is with three or four tildes, like this: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>)

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 05:50, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

==Yachiyo's relatives==
Where did you get information regarding Yachiyo's grandfather and parents? [[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk: WizardFlower|talk]]) 14:50, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

:Yachiyo's Grandfather was mentioned by her grandmother in Yachiyo and Mifuyu's Origin MSS. Yachiyo parents appear in Yachiyo Fairy Tale MSS, they are alive but live in another place, they come to visit her and met Mikazuki Villa members. [[User:Karminja|Karminja]] ([[User talk:Karminja|talk]]) 22:30, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

== Death of Kanae ==
You keep quoting the fact that Kanae died three years ago, but I can't find a single story that would confirm it. Could you hint me where you found it? [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 08:34, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

:Kanae had the same age as Yachiyo and Mifuyu when they met, if I remember correctly it was mentioned in her japanese MSS, so if she was still alive she would be 19 years old, like Yachiyo and Mifuyu. The correct answer most be three years, by simple math of she had the same age as them (16) and in the present they have 19 years old, that means at least it has been 3 years of Kanae's death. Other points to know this is that Kanae never met Mitama or got an adjument. Mitama became a magical girl 2 years before the Main Story, so at least Kanae has been death for 3 years. Also in the Timeline of Magia Record that is on this wiki, it is said that Kanae died 4 years ago, but if we do maths and she met Jun and Mitsune then that wouldn't fit into their High School grade, it would be mentioned they are seniors but they aren't. Other proves to this is Momoko, because she said she has been a magical girl for three years but she never met Kanae, which means that Yachiyo and Mifuyu met Momoko no longer after Kanae died. [[User:Karminja|Karminja]] ([[User talk:Karminja|talk]]) 03:28, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

I looked at Kanae's MSS and didn't see a mention of her age. Do you remember in what section or scene this was mentioned? As for the other points, Mitama contracted around a year ago, as the emergence of the Mirrors Witch coincided with her wish, as stated at the end of the Mirrors story. Breakpoint takes place one year before the main story and it details the Mirrors Witch becoming active, therefore Mitama's contract must be close to this date. As for Momoko, she met Yachiyo two years ago, shortly after contracting, as stated in the first part of Yachiyo's MSS. --[[User:Athree|Athree]] ([[User talk:Athree|talk]]) 06:46, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

To be fair, Yachiyo's MSS is an odd inconsistency as well, with Yachiyo only meeting Tsuruno for the first time after team KaMoRe already existed... which afaik is at odds with Main Story A1C6, but I can't verify it right now. And once again - that timeline was always an educated guess, not a 100% set in canon thing, especially with inconsistencies like Yachiyo's MSS, Swimsuit Amanes' MSS or whatever Kokoro's grade has going on. -[[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 15:55, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

:You're right is pretty confusing many parts of the story and the MSSs. Sorry I got confused. This days I been re-reading many of the story making notes involving Yachiyo, Mifuyu and their team's members story, and I arrenged all those in a timeline so it makes sense. So I got to this:
::- 7 years ago: Yachiyo and Mifuyu become magical girls, shown in Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope.
::-3 years ago: Momoko becomes a magical girl (probably works alone for a year aprox.)
::-2 years ago:
:::1.-Kanae becomes a magical girl.
:::2.-Yachiyo and Mifuyu met Kanae and Kanagi.
:::3.- Kanae joins Mikazuki Villa.
:::4.- Kanae meets Jun and Mitsune shown in Girls in Hood.
:::5.- Kanae dies.
:::6.- Yachiyo's grandmother dies. *
:::7.- Yachiyo and Mifuyu met Tasuke Satomi, who ask them for an interview.
:::8.- Yachiyo and Mifuyu met Momoko, who joins Mikazuki Villa.
::-1 year ago:
:::1.- Rena and Kaede become magical girls.
:::2.- Momoko meets Rena and they become friends.
:::3.- Momoko and Rena meet Kaede, they become friends. Momoko helps Rena and Kaede to hunt witches but they aren't a team.
:::4.- Tsuruno becomes a magical girl.
:::5.- Yachiyo meets Rena, Kaede and Tsuruno. Tsuruno joins Mikazuki Villa.
:::6.- Mel becomes a magical girl and meets Kanagi.
:::7.- Mel meets Yachiyo and joins Mikazuki Villa.
:::8.- West and East tensions on Kamihama take place because of Winchester, the Mirror Witch, as shown in Breakpoint.
:::9.- Mel turns into a witch.
:::10.- Mikazuki Villa goes to an Amusment Park shortly after.
:::11.- Yachiyo dissolves Mikazuki Villa. Momoko makes a formal team with Rena and Kaede while Tsuruno remains alone while Mifuyu gets away from Yachiyo.

This is moreless what I got, although I'm not sure about Yachiyo's grandma pass away was 2 years prior or 1 year prior to the Main Story, as is never stated exactly when did she die (althought Kanae said she died no long after her death in her MSS) and I remember that Yachiyo told someone in her team (when Mel was alive) that she recently got the Mikazuki Villa after her grandma pass away, but I don't remember in what story she said it or if I'm misremembering. If you're okay with it I can update the Magia Record timeline in the wiki to prevent confusions like the one I got. And thanks for the corrections and sorry for taking so long to answer, I was kinda busy re-reading many events and MSS. [[User:Karminja|Karminja]] ([[User talk:Karminja|talk]]) 20:20, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

:Please do update the [[Magia Record Timeline]] with all this info. (I recommend also reading the document linked at the bottom of the page, which explains some of the choices already on that page.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:29, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

== Sayaka's Family ==

from where did you get Sayaka's parents? there's no confirmation who the people we see with Sayaka are in episode 3. The cousins relation was never mentioned either in the event.

you're welcome!! I will help you look into it. Point is, they were pretty careful not to have Sayaka or Homura mention in any script their relatives but that seems to have broken since Magia Record. I suppose the storyboard for episode 3 might indicate who are these people but i still doubt it. [[User: WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 07:21, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

==Moka and Maria==

# I would like to know your source.
# Please pay more attention to the category links at the bottom of each page.

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:18, 29 April 2023 (UTC)

I searched about Moka and Maria being part of Wings of Magius, but I didn't found any source saying they were part of Wings of Magius at all. The only thing I found was Hagumu saying that both her friends joined Kamihama Magia Union while she made her own faction. The only thing I found is that Alina once saved Moka from a witch, and like Karin she didn't think Alina was a bad person like everybody said.
~ [[User:Karminja| Karminja]]

Hmm. There was at one point a reference to [[Maria Yuki|Maria]] being revealed as a member during [[Hagumu Azumi|Hagumu's]] side story, but I don't have a translation of that particular one, so I can't confirm or deny it. The reference was removed on [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Wings_of_the_Magius&type=revision&diff=113931&oldid=113930 November 18, 2021].

Both of them were added without explanation on [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Wings_of_the_Magius&type=revision&diff=106740&oldid=106732 March 20, 2021].

So, nothing I have seen confirms (or denies) any of the following:

* That Maria is Hagumu's friend
* That Moka is Haguku's friend
* That Maria was in WoM (at least one person thought Hagumu's MGS shows this, but I can't confirm)
* That Moka was in WoM

However, friendship between Hagumu and Maria or Moka seems slightly strange given how she's always seen together with [[Shigure Miyabi|Shigure]]. Where it says Hagumu's friends joined the union, does it say who those friends are? If they're not explicitly named I would be more inclined to take them as nameless Daito or Kosho girls rather than Maria and Moka. And where does it say that?

One way or another, if it ''is'' determined one or both of them were never in WoM, the category links on their pages also need to be removed, not just the reference in General Info. Otherwise, they'll still be listed in [[:Category:Wings of the Magius members]].

~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 01:11, 30 April 2023 (UTC)

The only thing I found was Hagumu saying both Maria and Moka are her friends (they invited her to celebrate Hinamatsuri together) and that both are in Kamihama Magia Union in the "Fun Handmade Hinamatsuri" login event story (there it also appears Hagumu's mom). But she never said anything about them being past members of WoM, also I checked Maria's MSS and it also doesn't mention WoM at all. I'll search for Hagumu and Moka's MSS to see if I can find anything. Thanks by the correction.

~ [[User:Karminja| Karminja]]

Do you know where that login event (I guess it's [[Hinamatsuri Login Bonus|this one]]?) fits within the main story? For example, is it during Arc 1, or post Arc 1? Maybe even during Arc 2?

==Yachiyo's relatives==
Where did you get information regarding Yachiyo's grandfather and parents? [[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk: WizardFlower|talk]]) 14:50, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

:Yachiyo's Grandfather was mentioned by her grandmother in Yachiyo and Mifuyu's Origin MSS. Yachiyo parents appear in Yachiyo Fairy Tale MSS, they are alive but live in another place, they come to visit her and met Mikazuki Villa members. [[User:Karminja|Karminja]] ([[User talk:Karminja|talk]]) 22:30, 21 May 2023 (UTC)

== Death of Kanae ==
You keep quoting the fact that Kanae died three years ago, but I can't find a single story that would confirm it. Could you hint me where you found it? [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 08:34, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

:Kanae had the same age as Yachiyo and Mifuyu when they met, if I remember correctly it was mentioned in her japanese MSS, so if she was still alive she would be 19 years old, like Yachiyo and Mifuyu. The correct answer most be three years, by simple math of she had the same age as them (16) and in the present they have 19 years old, that means at least it has been 3 years of Kanae's death. Other points to know this is that Kanae never met Mitama or got an adjument. Mitama became a magical girl 2 years before the Main Story, so at least Kanae has been death for 3 years. Also in the Timeline of Magia Record that is on this wiki, it is said that Kanae died 4 years ago, but if we do maths and she met Jun and Mitsune then that wouldn't fit into their High School grade, it would be mentioned they are seniors but they aren't. Other proves to this is Momoko, because she said she has been a magical girl for three years but she never met Kanae, which means that Yachiyo and Mifuyu met Momoko no longer after Kanae died. [[User:Karminja|Karminja]] ([[User talk:Karminja|talk]]) 03:28, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

I looked at Kanae's MSS and didn't see a mention of her age. Do you remember in what section or scene this was mentioned? As for the other points, Mitama contracted around a year ago, as the emergence of the Mirrors Witch coincided with her wish, as stated at the end of the Mirrors story. Breakpoint takes place one year before the main story and it details the Mirrors Witch becoming active, therefore Mitama's contract must be close to this date. As for Momoko, she met Yachiyo two years ago, shortly after contracting, as stated in the first part of Yachiyo's MSS. --[[User:Athree|Athree]] ([[User talk:Athree|talk]]) 06:46, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

To be fair, Yachiyo's MSS is an odd inconsistency as well, with Yachiyo only meeting Tsuruno for the first time after team KaMoRe already existed... which afaik is at odds with Main Story A1C6, but I can't verify it right now. And once again - that timeline was always an educated guess, not a 100% set in canon thing, especially with inconsistencies like Yachiyo's MSS, Swimsuit Amanes' MSS or whatever Kokoro's grade has going on. -[[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 15:55, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

:You're right is pretty confusing many parts of the story and the MSSs. Sorry I got confused. This days I been re-reading many of the story making notes involving Yachiyo, Mifuyu and their team's members story, and I arrenged all those in a timeline so it makes sense. So I got to this:
::- 7 years ago: Yachiyo and Mifuyu become magical girls, shown in Deliver to the Beyond, A Piece of Hope.
::-3 years ago: Momoko becomes a magical girl (probably works alone for a year aprox.)
::-2 years ago:
:::1.-Kanae becomes a magical girl.
:::2.-Yachiyo and Mifuyu met Kanae and Kanagi.
:::3.- Kanae joins Mikazuki Villa.
:::4.- Kanae meets Jun and Mitsune shown in Girls in Hood.
:::5.- Kanae dies.
:::6.- Yachiyo's grandmother dies. *
:::7.- Yachiyo and Mifuyu met Tasuke Satomi, who ask them for an interview.
:::8.- Yachiyo and Mifuyu met Momoko, who joins Mikazuki Villa.
::-1 year ago:
:::1.- Rena and Kaede become magical girls.
:::2.- Momoko meets Rena and they become friends.
:::3.- Momoko and Rena meet Kaede, they become friends. Momoko helps Rena and Kaede to hunt witches but they aren't a team.
:::4.- Tsuruno becomes a magical girl.
:::5.- Yachiyo meets Rena, Kaede and Tsuruno. Tsuruno joins Mikazuki Villa.
:::6.- Mel becomes a magical girl and meets Kanagi.
:::7.- Mel meets Yachiyo and joins Mikazuki Villa.
:::8.- West and East tenstions on Kamihama take place because of Winchester, the Mirror Witch, as shown in Breakpoint.
:::9.- Mel turns into a witch.
:::10.- Mikazuki Villa goes to an Amusment Park shortly after.
:::11.- Yachiyo dissolves Mikazuki Villa. Momoko makes a formal team with Rena and Kaede while Tsuruno remains alone while Mifuyu gets away from Yachiyo.

This is moreless what I got, although I'm not sure about Yachiyo's grandma pass away was 2 years prior or 1 year prior to the Main Story, as is never stated exactly when did she die (althought Kanae said she died no long after her death in her MSS) and I remember that Yachiyo told someone in her team (when Mel was alive) that she recently got the Mikazuki Villa after her grandma pass away, but I don't remember in what story she said it or if I'm misremembering. If you're okay with it I can update the Magia Record timeline in the wiki to prevent confusions like the one I got. And thanks for the corrections and sorry for taking so long to answer, I was kinda busy re-reading many events and MSS. [[User:Karminja|Karminja]] ([[User talk:Karminja|talk]]) 20:20, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

:Please do update the [[Magia Record Timeline]] with all this info. (I recommend also reading the document linked at the bottom of the page, which explains some of the choices already on that page.) ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 22:29, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

from where did you get Sayaka's parents? there's no confirmation who the people we see with Sayaka are in episode 3. The cousins relation was never mentioned either in the event. Her mother is mentioned in Scene 0 Side Story Film1.11 and her aunt plays a semi-major role in The Ribbon beach event.

==Summary==
A Magical Girl who wants to become a fashion designer. The only child of a family that runs a sheet metal plant, her parents' expectations that she will take over the business stress her out. Although she gets strange looks, she is always serious.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:Doppel 300100 l.png|thumb|right|150px|Broderie, Kanoko's doppel]]
The Doppel of torn seams. Its form is a thread-cutter. The master of this emotion loathes her Doppel, which wields the exact opposite ability to her own. Her Doppel is able to loosen the seams of anything it touches. Once it uses a tiny bit of magic to open up a small tear, it can widen that tear to destroy any object, or even any concept– a truly fearsome power to display. However, this Doppel only seems interested in destroying its master’s own creations. It exclusively targets and ruins things she’s already worked to stitch together. Additionally, this Doppel boasts abnormally strong self-replication abilities despite its low supply of magic, and in comparison to the magic that it retains via its overwhelming conservation of energy, its body is extremely large.

===Side Story===
Kanoko, having been offered a contract by [[Kyubey]], struggles to decide what her wish is. After watching her dither, Kyubey asks why Kanoko so quickly believed he could grant her a wish. Kanoko says it's because she wanted to believe him. When Kyubey asks why, Kanoko says she has a dream: to become a fashion designer. Kyubey offers to grant that wish, but Kanoko she doesn't want to fast track it. Kanoko says she wants to be a fashion designer with her own ability, but admits there's an obstacle preventing it from happening. Kyubey offers to come back later, but Kanoko says she thinks that if he leaves he'll never come back. Kyubey says he won't, but Kanoko says she's the sort of person who follows her instincts.

Kanoko explains to Kyubey that her household runs a small factory, which she calls "a back-street workshop". They only have a handful of employees, but get work from large companies. Kanoko's parents want her to take over the factory when she grows up, but Kanoko wants to follow her own dreams. She tells Kyubey she helps in the factory all the time, and her father wants to make her a full-time employee when she finishes high school. Kanoko says she wants to study fashion and establish herself as a designer instead. Kyubey says that she'll have to abandon the factory, but Kanoko says she can't do that either. Kyubey says he doesn't understand humans.

Kanoko thinks, and gets an idea. She decides her wish will be: "My father and my mother...Please let them work happily for another 30 years!" Kanoko says that she'll have time to pursue her own dream, and take over the factory later. Kyubey is confused, but grants her wish. Kanoko internally apologizes to her parents, and asks them to be happy with her selfish wish, and to give her a little more time. Afterward, Kanoko talks to her parents. While they're furious that she doesn't want to work at the factory, she's able to persuade them into letting her do what she wants.

In order to improve her designing ability, Kanoko joins her school's art club. Kanoko tries to draw a bowl of fruit, but the club members thinks it looks like a universe, with an apple as a black hole. Kanoko resigns from the club, thinking their senses are too different. Kanoko then decides to improve on her own, and creates countless clothing designs. She decides she needs to show them to someone to get an opinion on them. Kanoko chooses [[Ria Ami]], a student at her school that works as a model. Kanoko thinks that Ria is not only knowledgeable about fashion, but can also help her get connections to people in the fashion industry.

Kanoko introduces herself to Ria and shows off her designs. Kanoko thinks Ria's expression was unreadable for moment. Ria tactfully says that Kanoko's designs are "unique", and points out an outfit with hands sprouting out of the back. Kanoko says they're supposed to be shimeji mushrooms. Ria says she can't put a value on the designs. Kanoko then decides to head to Sankyoin Educational Academy to show her designs to [[Nanaka Tokiwa]]. Kanoko knows Nanaka is from a family that ran a flower-arranging school, and is reputed to have brains and looks. Arriving at Nanaka's school, Kanoko introduces herself and shows her designs. Nanaka looks over Kanoko's designs and says she thinks she understands. She also thinks the mushroom outfit is supposed to be hands growing out the back.

Nanaka announces that the world will never catch up with Kanoko's clothing. Kanoko says she must be on a galactic level. Nanaka agrees and says humanity may grasp it in a thousand years. She suggests that Kanoko should take a spaceship and look for aliens that can properly understand her designs. She also suggests the trip be one way. Completely missing Nanaka's subtle insult, Kanoko decides the world is too narrow for her. She the decides she should show her designs to an "ordinary" person, thinking she might learn something. She decides to ask random people about her designs.

The first people she calls out are [[Momoko Togame]], [[Kaede Akino]], and [[Rena Minami]]. Upon seeing the designs, Momoko hems and haws and asks Kaede what she thinks. Kaede says Momoko is being unfair. Rena then says that the designs are simply awful, saying they can't even be used as monster costumes. (She does recognize the mushrooms as mushrooms however). Rena berates Kanoko's designs for thirty minutes. Crushed by Rena's criticism, Kanoko thinks she'll only be able to make clothes for people with a high level of fashion sense. Kyubey appears and says Kanoko needs to fulfill her magical girl duties. Kanoko says she'll get to it, but feels her heart is in tatters.

Kanoko spent several days depressed over Rena's words. Then a girl asks her for a favor. She says the art club wants to open a workshop for a downtown festival, and asks Kanoko if she can lecture on accessories. She says that Kanoko is good at handwork. Kanoko agrees, thinking she might find a way to solve her problems. At the festival, Kanoko uses a brass ring for her lecture. She narrates that she learnt crafts from her father since she was a child, yet she had to set them aside for the pursuit of fashion. Kanoko can't help but cry during the lecture.

Suddenly, she sees Kaede in the audience. Kaede is with two of her friends, [[Kako Natsume]] and [[Emiri Kisaki]]. Kaede recognizes Kanoko, and Emiri asks Kaede to introduce them. Kanoko wonders if this is a sign. Kaede explains what happened to the other girls, but left some parts vague. Emiri asks if she could see the clothing designs. Kanoko thinks Emiri is too similar to Rena, but ultimately decides to face her fears and show the designs. Emiri says the designs are weird and hilarious. She also says the designs are actually exciting. Kanoko is relieved. However, Emiri says the mushroom costume is gross. Emiri suggests that Kanoko's designs need some accessories. When Kanoko sees Emiri's examples, she gets a blast of inspiration.

Kanoko declares she can fuse her fashion with the metal processing techniques and factory work she learned. Kanoko thanks Emiri profusely, and then thanks her parents for helping her find this idea. Kanoko thinks she will create a line of clothing called "Yayoi Style", and her "Metal Clothes" will take the world by storm. She imagines it will have such an effect on the fashion world that it will even extend to contemporary arts, and it will benefit her family's factory. Kanoko mentally announces that with her spacesuit designs she will really reach the stars. Kyubey then calls Kanoko's name, causing her to return from her thoughts.

It turns out ''Kanoko hasn't even made her wish yet'', and is still talking to Kyubey in her room. Kyubey says Kanoko was mumbling to herself with her eyes closed, and asks if she's decided on a wish. Kanoko says that she has decided, and that she's already imagined it all the way to the end. In other words, ''the entire side story only happened in Kanoko's mind''. However it appears her wish is the one she imagined making. Kanoko says her image training was perfect, and that it's time to shock the world.

==Summary==
A magical girl who was once the daughter of Masatsuna Mizuna, who once ruled Hokuyō in the {{nihongo|Soma Province|相磨の国|Sōma-no-kuni}}, and was called the Ikusamiko (War Priestess) of the West. Although she was feared as a "one-hit wizard," the people of the fiefdom treated her so casually that they could hardly believe she was a princess. Normally serious and calm, she loosens up when it comes to her favorite stories and the Kowaka Mai.

===Doppel Description===
[[File:51198 tsuyu doppel.png|thumb|right|150px|Komatsu, Tsuyu's doppel]]
The doppel of divine punishment. Its form is a straw warrior. While the master of this emotion wishes for a bountiful harvest to provide salvation to her people, her heart also secretly hosts a self-serving desire to restore her family’s authority. As if to express its master’s hidden wish, this Doppel uses straw burning with the flame of desire to smoke out its enemies, and uses its rigid limbs to trap and prey upon them. Even its master’s attempts to stop it won’t halt its brutal onslaught, as it continues to seek out and hunt the prey it requires to increase its own value. Once all the straw burns away and the Doppel vanishes, only a ghastly landscape is left behind, but a scant few beautiful wildflowers also seem to remain.

==Powers and Abilities==
{{stub}}

==Etymology==
* The characters of her last name mean "water" (水) and "name" (名) respectively. It is the same spelling as used by the Mizuna Ward.
* The character of her first name means "dew" (露).

==Trivia==
* In a play, [[Yachiyo Nanami (Tanabata ver.)|Yachiyo Nanami wore a costume]] that was originally implied to be based on, or a replica of, an outfit Tsuyu wore. After inheriting Tsuyu's hope via her own unique magic, Yachiyo's magical girl outfit changed entirely into one that resembled the costume, implying it is also based on, or a replica of, Tsuyu's own magical girl outfit. This was later disproven when Tsuyu was released.
* The design and placement of Tsuyu's Soul Gem, a five-pointed flower on the back of her hand, resembles that of the [[Konoha Shizumi|Azalea]] [[Hazuki Yusa|House]] [[Ayame Mikuri|Trio]].
**However, her flower is not shaped like an azalea, but a [[wikipedia:Myosotis|forget-me-not]] (known in Japan as ''Wasurenagusa'' (勿忘草)). In the Japanese language of flowers, they are said to mean "true love", and outside, they commonly represent loyalty.
* Her fate after the [[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Ikusamiko of Kamihama Arc|downfall of Kumai and Gen'un]] was stated in Main Story of Arc 2, {{spoiler|Where she becomes a witch due to the betrayal of Sanemon Banshu - not only when Sanemon snipe at Masatsuna Mizuna during the peace talk and Tsuyu even when his own daughter trying to convince her, but also his Taito bandits in league with a other Province's Army by his own decision. as a result, Tsuyu misunderstand that [[Chizuru]] already betray her.}}
* It was believed that she was the [[Witch of Symbols]], but this was disproven when Tsuyu became playable. Technically, after Tsuyu became a witch because of Sanemon Banshu's betrayal, Komatsu was absorbed by [[Witch of Symbols]] (according to [[Nemu Hiiragi|Nemu]]'s explanation in the latter part of [[Magia Record Story Puella Historia The Ikusamiko of Kamihama Arc|Puella Historia The Ikusamiko of Kamihama Arc]]) and spread the hate against the eastern part of Kamihama for hundreds of years.
* Both her and [[Chizuru]]'s doppel name starts with Ko- and ends on -tsu.
* Tsuyu is the only Magical Girl of the Puella Historia arc to have a family name she uses. [[Chizuru]]'s family name is presumably Banshu, but isn't allowed to use it.
* Although Komatsu, her Witch, is not seen nor faced as a boss in the game, she appears alongside Kogetsu in the background of Pillar of Tomorrow. in fact, their sprites are re-used from their Doppel ones but removed the Magical Girls from them.

WizardFlower: /* Trivia */

'''Gisela''' ({{Runes|GISELA}}) is a [[witch]] who battles [[Kyouko]] within the flashback scene in [[Episode 7]]. She makes a reappearance in [[Madoka Magica Portable]] and [[Madoka Magica Online]]. Dora briefly appears in [[The Rebellion Story]] and [[Magia Record]].

==History==
===Original Anime===
Gisela and her familiars appear in [[Episode 7]] in a flashback scene. She appears fighting [[Kyoko]] as she describes how her father would protect the world up front, and she would do so in the shadows, defeating witches. Gisela isn't shown being defeated though, and her [[Grief Seed]] is never shown in the anime.

===Madoka Magica Portable===
Gisela and her familiars make a reappearance in [[Madoka Magica Portable]] with an arguably more fleshed out appearance than their anime debut. A second form for Gisela is now shown: her Motorcycle form. This seems to be her dazzling silver form before she became tarnished (most likely her Rust form) as described in her witch card. Gisela can be fought in [[Madoka Magica Portable Mami Route|Mami's Route]] and [[Madoka Magica Portable Kyoko Route|Kyoko's Route]] and Dora can be fought in any mysterious witches barriers.

===The Rebellion Story===
While Gisela doesn't make an appearance in [[The Rebellion Story]], her familiars do briefly. One appears as a part of [[Sayaka]]'s orchestra.

===Madogatari===
====Gisela====
The witch of silver. Her nature is freedom.
Her Labyrinth moves along the top of overpasses at high speed.
She has a gigantic body, and her personality is particularly violent even for a witch.
If she sees anything that moves, she tries to smash it flat with her giant hands.
During the time before her body became rusty, she was able to transform into a bicycle mode.

==Observation==
*In the anime version of the events, it is assumed that Gisela was defeated at the hands of Kyoko in her flashback for the timeline of the anime where Madoka makes her wish to destroy all witches. However, in the [[Madoka Magica Portable|Madoka PSP game]], Gisela can be defeated at two different times. One, by Kyoko in her route in the past, to protect her family. Or two, she can be defeated by Mami in her route, during a time period after Madoka has contracted, with or without Madoka's assistance. Both routes are clearly different timelines, as events unfold in a completely different manner, such as Mami dying to Charlotte before the start of Kyoko's route. Since game events differ from the anime, e.g. it's impossible to exactly recreate the events of the main timeline of the anime, discrepancies can easily be attributed to differing timelines. In the anime, there are examples of differences across timelines such as Oktavia having different familiars or Kyousuke playing violin in one and the guitar in another. The same logic seems to apply with the game. Fans have generated speculation on two different appearances by Gisela in the game.
::While Kyoko has an impressive fight against Gisela, the flashback doesn't show the outcome of the battle, making it ambiguous enough to determine with certainty if Kyoko did kill her after all. In the game it is unambiguous as Kyoko kills her in her route.
::The events are taking place in an alternative universe, a world where Gisela never fought Kyoko. There is precedent for this: <i>(see: [[Speculah:Magical_Powers#Travel_to_Parallel_Universes|Speculah: Parallel Universes]])</i>
::It is possible that Gisela was actually defeated, but her Grief Seed hatched again at a later time.
::It is suggested that one of Gisela's familiars survived and became a Witch, becoming a new Gisela in its place. Or, the witch Kyoko defeated might be even a grown-up of another familiar. However, we don't know if familiars turn into the same witch or if they become their own witches.
::A more likely explanation is that for pragmatic and development reasons, they chose to re-use existing witches rather than make more witches, or they didn't care about continuity between game routes. It is possible the developers wanted to give players the experience of fighting the known witches from the Madoka universe
* Gisela may be named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gisela_von_Arnim Gisela von Armin], a prominent writer whose [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bettina_von_Arnim mother] was close friends with and held unrequited feelings for Goethe.
** Dora may be named after [https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexis_und_Dora&prev=search ''Alexis and Dora''], an elegy by Goethe about a man on a ship who, in the final moments before departure, remembers the woman he loves and laments both their separation and the possibility that she may find another love
** Dora may instead be named after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dora_Stock Dora Stock], a German portrait artist whose home frequently made guests of notable contemporary artists, musicians, and writers, including Goethe. A teenage Goethe visited Stock's home frequently when she was a child, and was given art lessons by her father. Goethe in turn taught young Stock about theater and held household performances in which she took part. However, his presence was typically disruptive and upsetting, he had Stock and her sister serve as lookouts while he entertained female company, and (to the family's concerns) took Stock's father out drinking in Auerbachs Keller, a scene that would later be immortalized in ''Faust''

==Trivia==
* According to commentary from Inu Curry in the official [[Guidebook]], the Doras play the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWqKPWO5T4o Godfather theme] from their exhaust pipes
* Dora in the original tv broadcast shared the same arms as Gisela. In the BD and movie version she has newly designed arms and the addition of trumpet shaped parts
* Gisela is the only ''Madoka Magica'' Witch that has yet to appear in Magia Record.
** Despite that, her Familiars have been given a Memoria.
** Though Suleika also hasn't made any appearance yet, her familiar Ulla has.

WizardFlower: /* Side Characters Order */

==Manga raws==
Hi! From where did you get raws for the Kazumi manga? Does the same place also has raws for other manga entries as well?
[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 17:50, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
:I downloaded a torrent from somewhere. I don't know if it has raws for others. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Is it possible to share the link with me here? Or is there some rule that forbids that?
[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 01:29, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
:I don't know if there's a rule forbidding it. I'm hesitant to share a torrent link in any case. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:26, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

==Arne==
Do you think Arne is worth adding into minor characters of Magia Record? He fairly contributed to the story's plot and we'll, to the girls' development a bit as well.[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 14:06, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
: I was considering it. He never makes an appearance but he does have an outsized influence on the plot. The main reason I didn't end up adding him myself is because he never made a appearance. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:12, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

==Characters by Age==
I will add Kyosuke in 14 because I got a confirmation for his age. Also, do you have Kuroe's age anywhere? Yes we know she's middle school 3rd year but when was her age said? I kind of feel like it's not correct taking ages from grades for a handful of reasons. And last, eh is it safe to make assumptions regarding ages? We never got any mention to Haitani and Kuroda's ages.
[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 11:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
:I don't know where Kuroe's age came from. It was added to her page in an [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Kuroe&diff=prev&oldid=127031 edit] by [[User:Cookies0628]].
:I think it's pretty reasonable to guess that Haitani and Kuroda are the same age as Asahi, but you're right that there's some assumption in there, so I wouldn't really mind them being moved to the Unknown section.
:In case you missed it, see [[Talk:Characters by Age]].
:~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:41, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

==NA screencaps==
[https://gamepress.gg/magiarecord/guide/magireco-beginners-guide Gamepress] still has all the stuff I did for them, including extensive menu screencaps and other screenshots I had put up. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 03:01, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Ok, I uploaded the rest of the skill icons. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 13:51, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

0x99 got back to me:
"It looks like there were some permissions changed in recent version of MediaWiki for editing the UI.
I've fixed this, and all autoconfirmed users should be able to edit Mediawiki:Common.css."

Let me know if it still won't allow you to edit the page.[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 20:05, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

==Skill Icons==
Can you please fix [[Template:Magia_Record_Skill_Icon]] so that "MP gain up when damaged has the correct icon"? it should be the yellow MP icon with a single arrow (icon 1227), but it looks like you have two different effects pointing to the same thing (mp gain up icon 1180). Thank you! [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 17:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
:It has been fixed. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:01, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

==Side Characters Order==
to let tou know, I ordered these characters based on their ID their L2Ds are given. Which I am certain its the most official and correct way to go by, as the reorder you did feels like it may have holes later.

:Ordering by ID is completely nonsensical though. I could understand falling back to that if there's no actual logical order, but I don't think that applies here. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 17:30, 6 October 2023 (UTC)
We also use ID numbers for Magical Girls units, so I'd maintain consistency if we used IDs for side characters too.[[User: WizardFlower|Wizard Flower]] ([[User talk: WizardFlower|talk]]) 21:59, 06 October 2023 (UTC)

==Manga raws==
Hi! From where did you get raws for the Kazumi manga? Does the same place also has raws for other manga entries as well?
[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 17:50, 13 May 2023 (UTC)
:I downloaded a torrent from somewhere. I don't know if it has raws for others. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 00:19, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
Is it possible to share the link with me here? Or is there some rule that forbids that?
[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 01:29, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
:I don't know if there's a rule forbidding it. I'm hesitant to share a torrent link in any case. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:26, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

==Arne==
Do you think Arne is worth adding into minor characters of Magia Record? He fairly contributed to the story's plot and we'll, to the girls' development a bit as well.[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 14:06, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
: I was considering it. He never makes an appearance but he does have an outsized influence on the plot. The main reason I didn't end up adding him myself is because he never made a appearance. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 02:12, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

==Characters by Age==
I will add Kyosuke in 14 because I got a confirmation for his age. Also, do you have Kuroe's age anywhere? Yes we know she's middle school 3rd year but when was her age said? I kind of feel like it's not correct taking ages from grades for a handful of reasons. And last, eh is it safe to make assumptions regarding ages? We never got any mention to Haitani and Kuroda's ages.
[[User:WizardFlower|WizardFlower]] ([[User talk:WizardFlower|talk]]) 11:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
:I don't know where Kuroe's age came from. It was added to her page in an [https://wiki.puella-magi.net/w/index.php?title=Kuroe&diff=prev&oldid=127031 edit] by [[User:Cookies0628]].
:I think it's pretty reasonable to guess that Haitani and Kuroda are the same age as Asahi, but you're right that there's some assumption in there, so I wouldn't really mind them being moved to the Unknown section.
:In case you missed it, see [[Talk:Characters by Age]].
:~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 23:41, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

==NA screencaps==
[https://gamepress.gg/magiarecord/guide/magireco-beginners-guide Gamepress] still has all the stuff I did for them, including extensive menu screencaps and other screenshots I had put up. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 03:01, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Ok, I uploaded the rest of the skill icons. [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 13:51, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

0x99 got back to me:
"It looks like there were some permissions changed in recent version of MediaWiki for editing the UI.
I've fixed this, and all autoconfirmed users should be able to edit Mediawiki:Common.css."

Let me know if it still won't allow you to edit the page.[[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 20:05, 11 August 2023 (UTC)

==Skill Icons==
Can you please fix [[Template:Magia_Record_Skill_Icon]] so that "MP gain up when damaged has the correct icon"? it should be the yellow MP icon with a single arrow (icon 1227), but it looks like you have two different effects pointing to the same thing (mp gain up icon 1180). Thank you! [[User:Sondenise|Sondenise]] ([[User talk:Sondenise|talk]]) 17:48, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
:It has been fixed. ~ [[User:Celtic Minstrel|Celtic Minstrel]] ([[User talk:Celtic Minstrel|talk]]) 18:01, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

==Side Characters Order==
to let tou know, I ordered these characters based on their ID their L2Ds are given. Which I am certain its the most official and correct way to go by, as the reorder you did feels like it may have plots later.

==Appearances==

==Powers and Abilities==
Her abilities are unknown.

==Etymology==
*Her given name (まばゆ) is contained in the phrase 'mabayui' (まばゆい), meaning "dazzling", "glaring", or "beautiful".
*Her surname is comprised of the kanji (愛), meaning "love", and (生), meaning "raw", "unrefined", "pure", or "undefiled", as well as "life" or "living".

==Trivia==
*Her design bears similarities to the design and motifs of [[Walpurgisnacht]], leading some to believe she may be the Magical Girl whose Witch ultimately became the catalyst for Walpurgisnacht’s existence.
** Her green hair, film strip motif used in her teaser trailer, and apparent ability to recall information across [[Homura Akemi|Homura Akemi's]] rewindings of time have also given rise to speculation that she may instead be [[Itzli]], originally implied to be the Witch of an alien Magical Girl not from Earth, or that Itzli's Magical Girl backstory has been repurposed for Mabayu and/or Walpurgisnacht.
*She wears a golden hairpin that resemble the blades of scissors, like her weapon, or, appropriately, the hands of a clock.
* She shares her voice actress with [[Oriko Mikuni in Magia Record|Oriko Mikuni]].

Talk:Musical Notes

2023-09-19T10:50:10Z

WizardFlower:

== General ==
* Will probably be flooding this page with random banter about my findings of this. --[[User:Piparkaq|Piparkaq]] 06:34, 4 February 2011 (CST)

== The notes at the To Be Continued Screen of Episode 9 ==
* I'm just curious. Are they the same as the other deciphered notes? --[[Special:Contributions/24.187.7.217|24.187.7.217]] 07:33, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
::They are the same. And actually, there the sharp notes are even more clearly visible than in the opening scene, which proves my earlier transcription at least close to being correct. I'm not so sure about the amount of flat notes thought, but I'm going to try to make a new one since the one we currently have does have some mistakes in it. --[[User:Kuhaa|Kuhaa]] 09:42, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
::: Thank you very much! --[[Special:Contributions/24.187.7.217|24.187.7.217]] 12:27, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

==Random stuff about the Opus II==

*As I said in the [[:File:Sayaka battle music in Ab minor.jpg|talkpage of the score file]], it would be nice if someone could write a small paragraph explaining how the score could be reconstructed, just as what's on the runes page. Was it flipped or whatever in the end?
*Also, I don't understand this tweet but since it's packed with sharp/flat/natural signs and question marks I figured out it might be useful. If anybody's in the mood of translating it ...
**A♭マイナーってねぇよｗｗ7フラットｗ外人は♯じゃなくて♮に見えたのか？5小節目のD♮が音楽理論的にも実際の音もおかしいけどいいのか？
--[[User:Homerun-chan|Homerun-chan]] 20:26, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

:(Disclaimer: I don't know anything about music.)
:"That's not A♭ minor (lol) 7 flats (lol) Did the foreigner saw ♯ as ♮? In both music theory and actual sound, that D♮ in the 5th bar is weird. Are you OK with that?" --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 21:25, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
::Oh sorry, I completely missed the talk page of "Sayaka battle music". So the notes play the bgm from when Sakura battles a witch in ep 9. It's been quite a busy weekend for me so I haven't been involved as much as I would've liked but tomorrow I'll probably review the transcription we currently have linked on this page, and if necessary make a new one since to me there are a few things that look strange. About the tweet, that's really nothing new, the piece is not in Ab minor. I'll try to update the Wiki page in the morning if someone else already hasn't by then. --[[User:Kuhaa|Kuhaa]] 21:51, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
::Turned out I had some free time and here's what I got: http://ast-fast.com/upload/maalis11/Sayakaep9.png Will probably compile a picture explaining where I got all the accidentals after I've slept. --[[User:Kuhaa|Kuhaa]] 23:13, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
:::Lol I uploaded what I have made few minutes ago and they look just same. --[[User:Mr. Anon|Mr. Anon]] 23:18, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
:I replaced the "Madoka and Sayaka's Troll in D-flat, Opus II"'s links with midi and transcription I made because of the reasons mentioned above. I also replaced the midi because, although it sounded quite right, it was made from a transcription written in Ab minor (checked this by opening the midi file in Sibelius). I hope everyone is ok with this and if it turns out there are mistakes, we'll fix them. I'll probably start working on a paragraph about reconstructing the score in the morning. --[[User:Kuhaa|Kuhaa]] 01:47, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
::I wrote a paragraph about the reconstruction process. I wrote it from my own point of view (in other words, how I approached and observed the transcription process. Mr. Anon also got it right and it's obvious we're not the only ones, there were many people working on it all around the web. No names mentioned though so it should be fine) since I think it explains quite well how the English speaking community worked on it, and what mistakes were made during the process. It's also my version of the transcription we currently have here so I think it's not entirely wrong to explain how that version came to be. I hope you're ok with the text, I'll probably see if I can structure it better. If anyone feels like reviewing the English in the paragraph (and the whole page), please do. I think I might have misused some musical terminology since I'm not used to writing about these things in English. :E --[[User:Kuhaa|Kuhaa]] 18:20, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

== Sayaka transformation scene notes (BD) ==

According to [http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm14820939 Nicovideo], the notes in BD version of Sayaka transformation scene seems to be [[wikipedia:Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska|Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska]]'s [[wikipedia:Maiden's Prayer| Maiden's Prayer]]. Not sure where this fits, but put it here for the time being. --[[User:0x99|0x99]] 20:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:what do we know about the Maiden's Prayer or any connection to Faust? I know nothing of music history. The only connection I can think right now it this: [[:File:Kyopraying.gif|Kyouko praying]] --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 07:32, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
::Lyrics are here [http://www.cowboylyrics.com/tabs/wills-bob/maidens-prayer-298.html]. References to notes with Sayaka has to do with Kyousuke Kamijou. In this case, it's her prayer for him to get better and if this is in fact the song, a foreshadowing of her tragic end with this wish. --[[User:Randomanon|randomanon]] 11:29, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

:::Ev'ry word revealed her empty broken heart
:::Broken by fate that holds them so far apart
:::Lonely there she kneels and tells the stars above
:::In her arms he belongs, in her heart is a song
:::An undying song of love.

::::Damn, that pretty much describes Sayaka/Oktavia --[[User:Mutopis|Mutopis]] 11:47, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

== AniReco notes? ==

I recently remembered that the Magia Record anime had some notes too. So far I found those spell circles from episode 13, but I wouldn't be surprised if more were to pop up... Highest resolution I could get, BD ver. [[User:EPF|EPF]] ([[User talk:EPF|talk]]) 09:20, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie -Walpurgisnacht: Rising-

2023-09-17T11:52:49Z

WizardFlower:

[[File:WalpugisnachtRising.png|frame]]
<blockquote>''{{Q|And so, let the curtain rise on tonight’s dream.}}'' - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGxyrO-27dQ September Tenth Trailer].
</blockquote>''Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgisnacht Rising'', or ''Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Walpurgis no Kaiten'' in Japanese, is an upcoming movie acting as a sequel to [[Rebellion]]. The project was officially announced on April 25th, 2021 during the [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]] 10th anniversary event. The next announcement came during the Aniplex Online fest on September 10th, 2023, which included a new trailer and approximated release date - winter 2024.

It is likely that the [[Concept movie]] became ''Walpurgisnacht: Rising''.

==Speculation==
{{Theory/Header|status=unknown}}
*The recent trailer and its poster shows multiple [[Homura]]'s in a single shot. It is possible that the movie deals with either a multiverse or doppelgangers.
**Almost all of the returning girls have a new form/design. This may further promote this theory.
*The new magical girl incorporates design elements from most of the [[Holy Quintet]]. She may be related to them somehow.
{{Theory/Footer}}

==Trivia==
*Although Nagisa so far doesn't appear in promotional material, the website confirms she'll take part in the movie.
