Personality
Komaki is generally loud, upfront, and aggressive, but can also be at times calmer and genial, mostly around her friends. She is also rather short-tempered. Komaki is often getting into fights with others or otherwise arguing with them, with her friends Akira Namekata and Miyuki Nagatsuki often having to intervene.
Story
Backstory
Not much is known of Komaki's home-life.
During a fire at school camp, Komaki made a wish to protect herself and her friends, Akira and Miyuki.
Komaki during Symmetry Diamond
Komaki first appeared in chapter 2 of Symmetry Diamond, where she and her friends teased Oriko. Oriko warned her not to keep going out at night, lest she run into trouble.
Presumably Komaki and Kirika never fought or crossed paths in this timeline. Komaki and Oriko never seem to become friends in this timeline, however. It is ambiguous to whether or not Komaki is a magical girl in this timeline; her "going out at night" would suggest she was.
Komaki during Sadness Prayer
During Sadness Prayer, Komaki slowly becomes friends with Oriko.
Komaki regularly sneaks out of home at night to hunt witches, claiming she gets stomach pains at night when questioned by her family. Her regular sneaking-out not go unnoticed by her younger sister, Koito, who suspected Komaki had a nightlife, and expressed her concerns to Akira.
During a witch hunt, Komaki got into a fight with Kirika over a grief seed, with Kirika unaware that she was Oriko's friend. Akira, who had followed Komaki to find out what she was up to, ran out in the midst of the fight and got hit by one of Kirika's attacks meant for Komaki; this caused Komaki to fly into a rage. Kirika, already shocked by Akira's death and frightened by Komaki's rage, lashed out in a desperate attack and stabbed Komaki through the head, killing her.
Powers and Abilities
Komaki possesses shielding powers because of her wish. She can create barriers to protect herself or trap her opponents in shield "bubbles". She can use her axe to create barriers.
Observations
- She nicknames Kirika "black mantis".
- Since Oriko and Komaki do not share a class, the two usually meet up at break. Akira and Miyuki appear not to hang around when Komaki is with Oriko.
Trivia
- Komaki's first name, "小巻", means "small book" or "small roll of cloth". The latter would fit thematically with her sister's first name, Koito (小糸), which means "small thread".
- Komaki's last name, "浅古", means "shallow and old" or "superficially old".
