Kirika Kure (呉 キリカ Kure Kirika) is a character from Puella Magi Oriko Magica. She is friends with Oriko.
Personality
Kirika is somewhat rash. Her top priority is her friend, Oriko, and she will do practically anything so long as Oriko asks her to. She is very determined that everyone know the difference between "like" and "love".
History
Kirika's first appearance is at the end of Oriko Magica chapter 2, where she is seen talking to Oriko on her cell phone. Oriko is asking her to do something, and Kirkira says that she would never turn down one of her requests. She asks that her friend give her a little time to do it, though, as she is covered in blood and wants to clean up.
While in Oriko's father's rose garden, the two prepare to have tea. Kirika names all the different kinds of roses she sees in an attempt to impress Oriko, but is told that it was Oriko's father, Hisaomi Mikuni, who liked roses. Kirika says there's no point knowing anything that doesn't pertain to her friend, causing Oriko to comment that such thinking would make Kirika an ignorant child.
A witch attacks them, and as Kirika fights it, Oriko prepares the tea. Kirika ends up smashing their table and ruining it, however, so the two just sit together, Kirika resting in Oriko's lap.
Later, she loses something important: a stuffed toy she wears on her hip that was a gift from Oriko. Mami finds and returns the toy to Kirika, who claims that Mami is her "savior."
Powers, Weapons & Abilities
Kirika's weapons are long, curved claws worn on her wrists and hands. There are three blades on each hand. With these, she is able to slice open her opponents with six separate cuts.
