Summary

Kanae was always quiet and kind since she was a child; however, as she grew older, bad characters flocked to her due to her severe expression. Not one to back down, she found herself in fights every day. After discovering music, she started playing the guitar.

Doppel Description

The Doppel of resonance. Its form is a hummingbird. The master of this emotion is fond of her Doppel's body, which reverberates well. The Doppel aligns the pitch of its singing voice to resonate with any physical object until it shatters. It is also likely to use its voice to oscillate the brains of organisms, then use high frequency sound waves to vibrate its beak, with which it pierces the hearts of its victims with great precision.

Side Story

The following is a summary posted on 4chan's /pmmm/ general by Summary Anon.

She has the face of a thug thus she grew up being harassed by actual thugs and got into fights.

She became a Puella Magi because a thug from a local gang targeted her after losing a fight. He took her only friend Kohai as hostage and intended to ravage them as revenge. Kyubey gave the bait and Kanae took it since there was no other way. Her wish was she wanted the eradication of the thug's gang. He had just joined another one.

She distanced herself from Kohai and chased after the thug when she caught wind of him appearing again. She barged into Kanagi's territory and they got into a fight since Kanagi thought Kanae was a poacher.

Their fight led them to Yachiyo's territory and she and Mifuyu intervene. At this time, Kanagi and Yachiyo are not acquaintances. Both sides explained their reasons and accepted mediation from Yachiyo. Kanae passes out from her injuries.

She is nursed back to health at Yachiyo's. It seems Kanagi left a grief seed to heal Kanae as a form of apology. She was being overly aggressive since her territory has been plagued by poachers recently.

Yachiyo introduced Kanae as a friend who has ran away from home. Yachiyo 's grandma is a kind and loving elderly lady who warmed Kanae's heart.

After being nursed to health, Kanae wanted to go back to see the grandma again but cannot find a reason to. Yachiyo found her loitering around her place and knowingly invites her home. She also informs her that grandma is worried for her as well. Kanae took the offer after some considerations and this begin her life at Nanami's.

Kanae joined the team of Yachiyo and Mifuyu and bonded together with them. Grandma was always there with a listening ear and Kanae is comfortable spilling all her worries out. Grandma's advice is she should lose the frowning face since it attracts the same company and give more thought on what she wants than how people look at her. Slowly, Kanae changed for the better.

She took up music so she could express herself, joining the K-on club and taking rock. She gets along well with the members and has a good time.

Some time later, she is returning home with two of her band mates, excited about practicing at a studio and bid each other goodbye. Mifuyu arrives and informs Kanae about a witch nearby when they hear a scream. Mifuyu saw two girls with musical instruments being carried off in a black van, and Kanae chases after it.

She found her friends at the same place where her Kohai was once held hostage. It was the same thug, and she knocks her out easy this time round. Mifuyu arrives and notes that the thug was kissed by the witch, and Kanae decides to call the cops to send the girls home and arrest the thug. Nice to note that the girls were not afraid of Kanae after this at all.

Mifuyu informed Kanae that grandma is hospitalized and Yachiyo is there with her. After some thought, Kanae decides to hunt the witch to prevent it from hurting others instead, leaving grandma under Yachiyo's care. Mifuyu joins her and they are able to nail down the witch's location.

However, the witch is strong against Kanae's style and they are having trouble defeating it. Yachiyo arrives just in time, informing the two that grandma is alright and affirmed by the doctor. They make short work of the witch and rush back to the hospital.

Grandma is happy that she is surrounded by the kind girls and hopes that they will be there when it is time for her funeral.

Then we are brought back to Kanae's ghost where she apologizes to grandma for going first.

However, Kanae has no regrets since she choose to give her life willingly, and thanked the Nanamis and Mifuyu for giving her the chance to change into a better person.

It ends with Kanae's voiced line of:

"Nice to see that you are well, Yachiyo"

In doing so, her soul gem was shattered, and Yachiyo and Mifuyu discover the secret of soul gems after attempting to use a grief seed on it.
