Summary

A Magical Girl who has arrived in Kamihama as a Puella Care (Traveling Coordinator); she's referred to as Mitama's teacher. She has traveled around the country making adjustments and conveying her adjustment techniques to talented girls who can't fight witches on their own. She has a mysterious nature and no one knows her past.

Doppel Description

The Doppel of duḥkha-dhātu[1]. Its form is a tree diagram. Due to the presence of this being that represents the origin of life, the master of this emotion is painfully aware of the inescapable yoke that forces her closer to becoming one who does harm. This Doppel speaks of nothing and indicates nothing, simply growing its tree of life ever larger with the impurity it absorbs from its master. Though its form is wrapped in swaddling cloth, it is every bit as unblessed as its master, and it harms those who oppose it by maliciously scattering the impurity it gained from its birth. If another being trapped within the tree diagram were to appear, they would surely fall into a crucible of agony. Only the master can become an actual part of the tree.

  1. The word used is 苦界 (kugai), which is commonly read as as 'a life of prostitution' but can also be read as 'suffering world'. See दुःख and धातु.

Side Story

Event Appearances

Etymology

  • "Livia" as a name may either be derived from the Latin word liveo ("to be livid" or "to be envious"), or a variation of the name "Olivia" ("olive").
  • The name Medeiros is derived from the Portuguese word, medeiro, meaning "a place where stacks of maize are gathered", or simply "a haystack".
    • The surname may come from Celestino Medeiros, a criminal who confessed to having committed a double-murder in Braintree, Massachusetts for which two anarchist brothers were executed; Celestino's confession was ignored in favor of punishing the anarchists because there were strong political pressures at the time to execute them instead.

Trivia

  • It has been confirmed that she is Mitama Yakumo's sensei who taught her how to use her magic to adjust magical girls since she herself is an Adjuster as well.
  • She is the first dark-skinned character in Magia Record.
  • Her Doppel's name is a reference to the Last Universal Common Ancestor and the fetuses represent, from left to right: mammals, reptiles, humankind, fish and birds.
    • They also represent the four elements, with the mammal as earth, reptile as fire (lizards and salamanders are commonly associated with fire), fish as water and birds as air.
    • It vaguely resembles a uterus without Fallopian tubes in shape. This could go along with the alternate reading of the kanji used for its nature.
    • It also shares a name with one of the Souju twins from Puella Magi Kazumi Magica.
  • Her designer is Sasagi Koushi.

Speculations

The theories below have not been proven yet.
Please keep in mind that they are fanmade theories, and not official material.
  • Her personal Memoria could be interpreted to mean that Livia was cheated on due to that she pretend to not know until her marriage.
  • Her personal Memoria and Doppel could also be interpreted to mean that Livia suffered a miscarriage which ended her marriage.

A chapel wrapped in voices of blessing.

Lift up the veil, swear a vow with those lips, toss out a cheer with the bouquet. I thought I'd just feign ignorance, brush it off with a cold gaze, but because I'd held such dear feelings, that love became warped.

Softly dozing, at the sound of adult voices that had once been so kind.

The innocent singing that remains makes the scene, and scent, feel that much more fresh. If only it could've continued for 10 years, 20 years. Once it crashed down, the foul-smelling time spent dragging it behind me seeped into the depths of my soul.

かつて優しかった大人の声を聞いて柔らかい微腫み。

残る無邪気な歌声が、情景と香りを鮮明にしていく。 10年も20年も続けば良かったのに。 崩れて引きずった臭い時間は、深く魂にまで染みついてしまった。

No matter what I did, I couldn't fight. The only thing I could do was rely on others. I was rotting away, not knowing whether my wish was granted or not. Were those words whispered into my ear a blessing or a curse? "Mitama Yakumo, you are another Magical Girl who wished for a thousand curses." 何をしても戦えず…誰かに頼ることでしか生きられず…願いが叶ったかどうかも分からぬまま…朽ちようとしていた…その耳に囁きかけるのは、救いの言葉か呪いの言葉か…「八雲みたま、アナタもまた那由多の呪いを願った魔法少女だね」

But since we're absolutely neutral, we might Adjust your enemies too... Well, if that happens, you can just drop by for another Adjustment yourself. Might seem like a game of cat and mouse, but that's already the sorta place the world is."

「敵から身を護りたいんやったら、私らピュエラケアが力を授けたるで。

ただ絶対に中立である以上は、アンタの敵も調整するかもしれへん。 まぁ、その時はまた私らが調整して力をあげるわ。 イタチごっこやって思うやろうけど、そもそも世界がそんなもんやろ」
