"Wait..wait..wait... Wh..WHAT IS THIS?", Madoka continued yelling toward the mirror as she walked forward, extending a hand and touching the window. Truth was, you weren't Madoka, Madoka was an anime character. You were now Madoka. ~ Episode 1 of Revolution

The Magia Series (aka Puella Magi /a/nonymous Magica) is a series of Madoka CYOA threads by /a/nonymous magica. Set during the main timeline of the anime, what would happen if you were to one day wake up as Madoka Kaname, with knowledge of the events of the anime? What would happen when you let the anonymous folks at /a/ of 4chan take control over Madoka's body? That is the premise of this series of Choose Your Own Adventure threads from /a/. This is the story of the collective conscious of /a/ in Madoka's body, and their fate.

Faust

Goddess Faust.jpg

Revolution

With no memories of herself and her past life, Faust, the main protagonist /a/ controls, wakes up one day, only to find herself in the Madokaverse trapped in Madoka's body. Possessing nothing but the knowledge of the events of the anime, Faust decides to make it her life mission to save this timeline and the girls without resorting to using the anime wish.

After making contact with Madoka's mind, Faust vaguely remembers a bit of her past and herself. She once lived in a world where everyone had some sort of superpower, such as shooting fire or the ability to fly. Faust herself was looked down upon, made fun of, and excluded from everything, because she had what everyone thought a very useless power. Unlike anyone else, Faust has 1000 different minds or "voices" in her head that help guide her in making decisions. But since her power doesn't have any sort of practical use, Faust felt she was useless. One night, Faust dreamed that she wanted to make a difference in the world, when then suddenly a bright light engulfed her, beginning her journey. Faust then realized that she also had the power to leap into other people's minds. Faust's desire to make a difference, and Madoka being the center of everything in the Madokaverse, is what caused her to be trapped in Madoka's body. As Faust continues to fight to save the girls, her personality changes to be more similar to Madoka. The way Faust talked, her kindness to the other girls, her goals and desires, all became more and more similar to Madoka the longer Faust spent time in Madoka's body. This culminates in a dream sequence, where Faust and Madoka eventually come to terms to fully accepting each other, and agreeing that the both of them can change the future. This causes their minds to fully merge into one complete being.

Throughout Revolution, Faust's mind powers slowly developed and became more powerful. She learned to use Mind Bombs, in which she shoots an invisible dome of powerful force from her mind. Using her mind powers however cause her head trauma, potentially damaging her body permanently. Continued use of her powers however lessened the strain on her body. Faust's mind powers grew so powerful to the point that she was able to break causality, bringing TL3 Mami, Kyouko, Madoka, and Homura for the fight against Walpurgisnact, and merging all existing timelines into one. Faust was even able to entirely erase Walpurgisnacht from existence with just her mind. Faust reached the peak of her powers when she was able to access the powers of Madoka, Homura, Mami, Kyouko, and Sayaka without contracting in the battle against Ferocia, the witch of causality. The combination of those powers allowed her to defeat Ferocia and seemingly save the world. After Faust returns from the battle with Ferocia, Faust and Madoka's minds separate, with Faust also acquiring a body of her own in the form of Madoka's Goddess alter-ego. Despite the separation, Faust still maintains a similar personality and a small, weak connection to Madoka.

Covenant and Sketch (Retconned)

In Covenant, it is discovered that Faust and Anbey are enemies destined to fight each other to the death. Faust is the embodiment of Order and Hope while Anbey is the embodiment of Chaos and Despair. Their actions throughout their respective stories influenced each other, giving them godlike powers.

In Sketch, it is then revealed that Faust and Anbey are siblings and that Ouroboros, a god who's been pulling the entire events of Magia behind the scenes, is their father. Not knowing the purpose of his existence, Ouroboros became interested in humanity and wished to know how to love, feel, and live like a human. Despite watching humanity for many, many years, Ouroboros could still not understand them, and why they suffer so much. Because he has no one to relate or share his own thoughts and feelings, Ouroboros created his two sons, Faust and Anbey, with his own power. Ouroboros watched his two sons grow and saw that they would always share everything with each other, whether they laughed, smiled, or cried. He saw his own two sons fall in love with each other. Ouroboros wondered why his own two sons can experience love, yet he cannot. Ouroboros then grew jealous of his two sons and decided to punish them. He wanted his sons to feel his own pain. He pitted Faust and Anbey against each other as eternal enemies, with Faust representing Ouroboro's positive emotions, while Anbey represented his negative emotions. Ouroboros watched them fight and suffer, and reveled in it. Ouroboros saw their pain and suffering as entertainment, and repeated their eternal struggle endlessly. Ouroboros had control over everything. He could choose the universe, genders for Faust and Anbey, anything. The endless cycle was a game to him and he had control over every factor. Ouroboro's control over the cycles also means that Faust's memories of the world he once lived in is fake and was fabricated by Ouroboros himself. Although the seeds of power instilled in Faust and Anbey were out of Ouroboro's control, in the off-chance that Faust and Anbey gain enough power to combat Ouroboros and defeat him, the seeds would give birth to a new Ouroboros. Even though Faust and Anbey fought each other endlessly and suffered, Ouroboros noticed that they always fell in love with each other, regardless of anything. Despite the pain, fighting, and suffering, Faust and Anbey's eternal love for each other never fades away.

Rebuild

In the beginning of Rebuild, Faust attends Mitakihara Middle School with the other girls, when suddenly her golden eyes changed color into blood red. Her blood-red eyes seemingly detecting a witch, Faust runs outside the school to discover a different type of witch, an Infernal. Faust immediately realizes the distortions she created within the Madokaverse gave birth to the Infernal Witches. So far throughout Rebuild, Faust's inability to do anything along with her frustration over Homura causes her to have disturbing illusions of the girls dying. The illusions gets bad to the point where she vomits and blacks out, being bedded once again at Mami's place.

After recovering from her sickness and gaining a new ability, Faust heads out with Kyouko and Yuma to hunt Ayase Souju. Although Kyouko and Yuma seemed to be more than a match for Ayase, her dual personality catches Kyouko and Yuma off-guard and she manages to knockout the both of them. As Ayase was ready to kill the three girls, Kirika makes her appearance out of nowhere and kills Ayase. With Kirika also came Oriko. Oriko, remembering what Faust promised her back in Revolution before her death, asks Faust if she will not contract and if she will help her change the future. Although completely caught off-guard at Oriko's proposal, Faust accepts it and decides to work together with her. Oriko then says that in order to save this world, both Sayaka and Madoka must be killed.

As part of Revolution's ending has been changed for Rebuild, there's a little difference in Faust's abilities. After the battle with Ferocia, Faust loses the ability to access the other girl's powers and also loses her ability to use Mind Bombs. This may be because of the amount of power Faust used to erase Walpurgisnacht and defeat Ferocia was significant. Her power loss has reverted her to be more like how she was at the beginning of Revolution. Faust however has access to some new abilities she previously didn't use in Revolution. Along with her Mind Leap ability, Faust also the power to mess with people's minds, known as Mind Tamper. This ability hasn't been used as of now and it's limits aren't exactly known yet. Faust can also use Mind Field, which allows her to scan her surroundings. As mentioned before, Faust also has the ability to detect Infernal Witches, which is visibly shown when her eyes change color into blood red. While resting in Mami's place, recovering from a fever, Faust starts experiences illusions again, but this time she tries to take control of it. Doing so granted her another ability, Mind Projection, which allows her to see through another person's mind and even manipulate it, sort of like an upgraded Mind Leap along with Mind Tamper, except her mind doesn't leave her own body. Like in Revolution, Faust's mind powers still cause damage to her own body, limiting her power's overall usefulness.

However, after finding herself stranded in Asunaro City (City in Kazumi Magica), Faust once again dreams of Starcrossed Place, and meets a girl who strangely resembles Sketch Anbey. The girl then grants Faust new powers, in exchange for losing her mind powers. Faust manages to keep Mind Field and Mind Read, however, they no longer cause strain on her body. The new powers also gave Faust confidence in herself, being less spineless and way more swag. Faust now also has a habit of shouting OBJECTION and HOLD IT like Phoenix Wright.

Kaname Madoka

Magia madoka.jpg

Revolution

The main protagonist of the anime and whose body Faust is in control of at the beginning of the story, Madoka herself at first doesn't appear in the story, her mind being unconsciously locked away by Faust. After a couple days in her body, Faust however manages to make contact and communicate with Madoka's mind. Faust tells Madoka who she is and and the whole truth about the events of the anime, and reassures her that she is here to help Madoka. Both of them then agree to share Madoka's body, with Faust being in control most of the time, with Madoka switching whenever its safe. Because Faust is the dominant mind in control, the amount of time Faust spends in Madoka's body affected Faust's personality, making her act more and more like Madoka. This is probably because Madoka's mind is unknowingly influencing Faust's own mind, and in turn her actions and personality. Madoka's influence on Faust culminates in a dream sequence in which the both of them fully accept each other for who they are and agree that they both have the power to change the future. This causes Madoka and Faust's minds to merge, creating one complete being. However, after the defeat of Ferocia, Faust and Madoka separate, with Faust acquiring her own body in the form of Madoka's Goddess alter-ego. Despite the separation, Faust still maintains a similar personality and a small, weak connection to Madoka.

Sketch (Retconned)

In Sketch, Madoka is revealed to be the Scale, the one who keeps the embodiment of Order (Faust) and Chaos (Anbey) in balance. The Scale is independent from Ouroboros and is only created when the balance between Faust and Anbey is broken. When Anbey steals Faust's seed of power and leaves her to die, stuck in the original TL5, Faust, remembering her connection with Madoka, tries to reach out to her. Madoka then summons Faust back to their own timeline, designating herself as the Scale.

Rebuild

With Madoka finally having control of her own body, she and the girls, along with their new friend Faust continue to live their lives normally until Infernal Witches appear to threaten their short-lived peace. Madoka doesn't realize that Homura seems to have some issues regarding Faust until Faust asks Madoka herself why Homura seems mad at her. Wanting to help Faust, she tries to remedy the situation between the two girls, only for Faust to become sick and black out shortly after.

After Faust agrees to work with Oriko and Kirika, the bucket-head then reveals her plan of killing both Madoka and Sayaka, most likely seeing a future where both of them destroy the world as Witches/Infernals.

Anbey

Magia anbey.jpg

Covenant and Sketch (Retconned)

The main protagonist of Covenant, and a major character in Sketch, Anbey is an Incubator capable of emotions. Manipulative, sarcastic, vulgar, and egotistical, Anbey is interested more in her own personal gain than trying to save the universe from entropy. Intrigued and amused by the nature of humanity, Anbey decides to give humanity the ultimate test: by starting a war between humans and magical girls.

In Covenant, through a series of events, Anbey becomes trapped in Gretchen's (TL3 Madoka) barrier seemingly dying, only to wake up at Starcrossed Place, the place where Faust has her dreams. There Anbey and Faust meet for the first time and discover their relationship with each other. Both of them are enemies fated to fight each other to the death. All of Faust's actions in Revolution, and Anbey's actions in Covenant, reveal that Faust was the embodiment of Order and Hope, while Anbey was the embodiment of Chaos and Despair, and that they were affecting each other, giving themselves godly amounts of power. Both of them then clash, unleashing their powers, with Anbey possessing the powers of all the girls she contracted and also gaining a human form remarkably similar to Faust. While both are roughly equal in power, Anbey's meddling in Starcrossed Place along with Faust's sheer willpower results in Anbey's defeat. Anbey proclaims this isn't the end though, saying they will meet again and she will kill Faust. Anbey then manages to wake up and escape from Gretchen's barrier, still in possession of the power she gained at Starcrossed Place, and furthers her plans for her world war and her confrontation with Faust.

In Sketch, it is then revealed that Faust and Anbey are siblings and that Ouroboros, a god who's been pulling the entire events of Magia behind the scenes, is their father. Not knowing the purpose of his existence, Ouroboros became interested in humanity and wished to know how to love, feel, and live like a human. Despite watching humanity for many, many years, Ouroboros could still not understand them, and why they suffer so much. Because he has no one to relate or share his own thoughts and feelings, Ouroboros created his two sons, Faust and Anbey, with his own power. Ouroboros watched his two sons grow and saw that they would always share everything with each other, whether they laughed, smiled, or cried. He saw his own two sons fall in love with each other. Ouroboros wondered why his own two sons can experience love, yet he cannot. Ouroboros then grew jealous of his two sons and decided to punish them. He wanted his sons to feel his own pain. He pitted Faust and Anbey against each other as eternal enemies, with Faust representing Ouroboro's positive emotions, while Anbey represented his negative emotions. Ouroboros watched them fight and suffer, and reveled in it. Ouroboros saw their pain and suffering as entertainment, and repeated their eternal struggle endlessly. Ouroboros had control over everything. He could choose the universe, genders for Faust and Anbey, anything. The endless cycle was a game to him and he had control over every factor. Although the seeds of power instilled in Faust and Anbey were out of Ouroboro's contro, in the off-chance that Faust and Anbey would gain enough power to combat and defeat him, the seeds would give birth to a new Ouroboros. Even though Faust and Anbey fought each other endlessly and suffered, Ouroboros noticed that they always fell in love with each other, regardless of anything. Despite the pain, fighting, and suffering, Faust and Anbey's eternal love for each other never fades away.

Rebuild

Anbey makes her glorious reappearance in her Incubator form at the end of episode 4. It is unknown what is Anbey's current motivations or plans, other than she has an interest with two girls with great magical potential, presumably Faust and Madoka.

Akemi Homura

Magia homura.jpg

Revolution

The initial target of Faust's affection, Faust decides to tell Homura the truth as Madoka after the initial confrontation between Mami and Homura in the first episode of Revolution. Believing in Faust, Homura becomes renewed with hope, and decides to do anything for Faust, with becoming friends and cooperating with Mami as the first step.

It is quite apparent that Faust is in love with Homura throughout Revolution, making quite a few advances, spending as much quality time with her, and even desperately trying to preserve Homura's Soul Gem after her body gets brutally scissored by a familiar. Although Homura doesn't realize this throughout Revolution, she finally does learn of Faust after Faust and Madoka separate from returning from the battle against Ferocia. Knowing that Faust is the one that saved her and the others and changed their future, she thanks Faust for everything and in a moment of weakness, is about to give herself to Faust, still thinking Faust is Madoka. Faust ultimately rejects her own feelings for Homura and gives her to Madoka, saying that she isn't Madoka and that the one person Homura loves, the one person she always protected, the one person she should be with, is Madoka. Homura realizes that Faust is right, and goes to Madoka to confess her feelings.

Sketch (Retconned)

Even after Homura and Madoka got together in Sketch, Faust still shows signs of feelings for Homura. This is apparent when human Oktavia kills Homura, blaming her for the death of Mami in her timeline. Homura's death made Faust become fueled with immense rage, almost killing Oktavia, if not for Madoka about to make a contract with Kyubey to revive Homura. Faust stops Madoka from contracting, and in her place, uses all her power to save Homura, sacrificing her own life. It is implied that Homura may also have harboring feelings for Faust. Upon reviving and discovering that Faust sacrificed her own life for her, Homura also becomes consumed by rage and brutally kills Oktavia off-screen. After Faust is revived by the actions of Anbey, Faust decides to see the black-haired girl. Homura, who's still torn and confused by Faust's sacrifice, asks her why she saved her. Once again, Faust rejects her own feelings, and tells Homura that she loves her as her friend, and that she loves all the other girls too, and would do the same for the others.

Rebuild

Despite Walpurgisnacht and Ferocia being defeated at the end of Revolution, Homura isolates herself from the other girls except Madoka. She especially seems distant towards Faust. When Faust asked Homura why she is doing this, she replies rather coldly that she has her reasons and tells Faust to leave her alone. Faust figures Homura has some sort of issue with her, although she hasn't been able to figure out what or why. The tension between Faust and Homura gets worse after Faust discovers the Infernal Witches. Homura becomes even more frustrated with Faust, immediately figuring out that she is the source of the Infernal Witches. Faust again tries to find out why Homura is so angry with her, but Homura's stubborness cause Faust to give up in angry frustration. Despite everything Faust has done for her and the others, she couldn't understand why Homura is treating her this way. Although Madoka tries to remedy the situation, Faust becomes sick, seeing illusions of the girls dying, throws up and blacks out.

People speculate Homura's frustration with Faust may have something to do with Faust previously controlling Madoka's body. It could be that Homura figured out that the Madoka who made advances on her and spent time with was actually Faust. She could be frustrated that Faust used Madoka's body as a way to get closer to her. Another side of the speculation is that Homura may actually have feelings for Faust and is conflicted over Faust and Madoka. Because Faust is extremely similar to Madoka in every way, and is the one person who freed her from her endless loop and saved Madoka, Homura may have fallen for Faust, despite also loving Madoka. She may be in denial for her feelings for Faust, and as a way to cope with it, she isolates herself from the other girls except Madoka, and pushes herself away from Faust.

Tomoe Mami

Magia Mami.jpg

Revolution

After her initial confrontation with Homura, Mami becomes friends and cooperates with Homura by Faust's request. After Faust and Sayaka visit Kyousuke in the hospital, they find a Grief Seed about to hatch right outside the hospital, just like episode 3 in the anime. Faust, knowing Mami died during her fight with Charlotte in the anime, decides to contact Homura instead of Mami, preventing Mami's initial death.

Throughout Revolution, Mami maintains her older sister type role like she did in the anime. After becoming friends with Homura, Mami's apartment is often the place where Faust and the girls make their plans for the future. After the tragic death of Kyouko, Mami decides to continue fighting in Kyouko's place and becomes Yuma's new caretaker. When Faust went to Sakura Church to check on Yuma a few days before Walpurgisnacht, Yuma gets brutally impaled by a powered-up Elsa Maria, seemingly dying. Mami, who was also in the area, becomes enraged and is the first person to activate Rage mode. With it, Mami decimates Elsa Maria with a super-powered Tiro Finale. Yuma, who's Soul Gem was still intact, was still alive, and she tells Mami not to worry, for she's still here. With Yuma still alive, Mami deactivates her Rage mode, and she takes her back home.

The day of Walpurgisnacht, Mami and Yuma visit the Sakura Church once more, before the final battle. There they find what seemingly is the spirit of Kyouko in physical form. Mami and Yuma are shocked, their friend seemingly alive again. Kyouko thanks Mami for taking care of Yuma all this time and embraces the both of them, only to then reveal she is a witch imitating Kyouko's form. The witch then impales the both of them with her tendrils. Mami, fueled with rage again, transforms into her MG form, only for her head to be quickly decapitated and crushed by the witch, sealing her death.

Yuma is able to defeat the witch with her Rage form activated, but Mami was dead for good, never to be seen again until Faust managed to do the unthinkable, break causality. After defeating the Oktavia of another timeline, Faust and the girls find themselves in TL3 of the anime. They end up witnessing the scene in which Mami is about to kill Kyouko and Homura, only to be killed by Madoka. Faust decides to intervene and successfully stops Mami from killing Kyouko. After convincing Mami that everything will be alright, Faust decides to return to her original timeline, only for Kyouko to intervene and say she's coming too. The rest of the TL3 girls decide that they will also accompany Faust and her friends to help her defeat Walpurgisnacht. As Faust concentrates in transporting them back into her own world, Faust merges all existing timelines into her own, giving TL3 Mami and Kyouko the memories of Faust's timeline. After Faust returns from her battle with Ferocia and acquires her own body, Faust asks Mami if she can stay at her apartment since she has no home, with Mami being delighted at the idea of having company.

Sketch (Retconned)

In Sketch, Mami is Faust's roommate and the two seemed to have developed an attraction towards each other. In the first episode, Faust and Mami take a bath together. As Mami cleans up Faust with a sponge, Faust couldn't resist letting out a moan of pleasure. Mami hugs Faust, thanking her for everything she's done for them. Faust then returns the hug with a kiss, that Mami passionately accepts. The kiss might have turned into something more, if Faust didn't slip in the bath tub, smashing her head and giving herself a minor concussion. Although Mami and Faust are much closer friends in Sketch and spend more time together, it is still uncertain if Faust and Mami actually harbor romantic feelings towards each other.

Rebuild

Mami plays a similar role as she did in Sketch. She is still Faust's roommate and the two still seem to be attracted to each other (Faust comments its probably because of Mami's mammies). Although they don't share any romantic kisses as of now, Mami has shown to be most concerned about Faust's well-being. When Faust faints from blood-loss from having her leg torn-off by an Infernal Witch, Mami immediately hugs Faust when she re-awakens at the nurse's office. She suggests that Faust stay back at her apartment for the day and get some rest. Although she follows Mami's suggestion at first, Faust decides to go out and watch a movie. This lands her in another dangerous situation as Faust gets trapped in a witch's barrier. Faust almost gets killed again, until Mami shows up at the last second and saves her. When Faust blacks out after her argument with Homura, Faust wakes up back in Mami's apartment, and finds Mami by her side, who has been taking care of her ever since. Faust tells Mami how she is so frustrated with herself by her inability to do anything. Mami makes a joke about how she would have no one to talk to if Faust wasn't here anymore, and tells her that she shouldn't feel this way, giving Faust a kiss on the forehead. Faust realizes she's been hurting the others, not just herself, and apologizes to Mami. Mami tells her to get a good night's rest, with Faust silently thanking Mami for everything.

Faust and Mami seemingly has been confirmed to have feelings for each other in episode 7. After the girls learn of Oriko and Kirika, and Faust reassures Sayaka that she will protect her, Mami approaches Faust and hugs her, being worried about everything Faust has went through. Faust then thinks how she loves all the girls, but especially Mami, and gives Mami a passionate kiss, much to the shock of the other girls.

Miki Sayaka

Magia sayaka.jpg

Revolution

Knowing that Sayaka is one of the major factors why Homura fails to save the girls in every timeline when Madoka contracts, Faust prioritizes preventing Sayaka from becoming a magical girl. Because of this, Sayaka does not change much as a character throughout the Magia series.

In Revolution, Faust knows of Sayaka's desire to heal Kyousuke's hand in every timeline she contracts. To prevent Sayaka from contracting, Faust instead had Mami heal the injured boy's hand. During the Oriko and Kirika confrontation, Sayaka would have contracted with Kyubey in order to protect her friends were it not for Faust's intervention by temporarily mind leaping into her body. Later in the story, Faust fully explains the details of the Magical Girl System to Sayaka to inform her the dangers of making a contract with Kyubey. After learning of the truth, Sayaka matures and becomes a stronger individual. Sayaka later tells Faust that she will only contract if she feels it is absolutely necessary to do so.

Sketch (Retconned)

In Sketch, Sayaka becomes very close friends with Kyouko and also became another one of Yuma's "mommies." Like in Revolution, Sayaka is a bystander.

Rebuild

Sayaka is still a normal girl in Rebuild, living her life with the rest of the girls until their temporary peace gets destroyed by the appearance of Infernal Witches. She seems to have become very friendly with Faust in Rebuild, often being the first one to greet her and strike a conversation. Like in previous seasons, Sayaka is still a bystander in Rebuild as of now.

After Faust agrees to work with Oriko and Kirika, the bucket-head reveals that she plans to kill Madoka and Sayaka as well, probably seeing a future in which both girls destroy the world as Witches/Infernals.

Sakura Kyouko

Magia kyouko.jpg

Revolution

Kyouko makes her first appearance in episode 5 of Revolution along with Yuma, asking Mami if she heard about the magical girl killings. Faust also knows of the events of Oriko Magica and decides that all the girls should work together in hunting down Oriko and Kirika.

After Homura killed Kirika and the girls defeated Oriko, Kyouko decided to head deeper into the witch barrier finish off the blood witch. Upon the death of Oriko, Sayaka questions if the two girls really had to die. This almost led to Sayaka being contracted by Kyubey if it were not for Faust's intervention by temporarily mind leaping into her body. Despite barely preventing Sayaka from contracting, little did the girls know that letting Kyouko to handle the witch alone was a big mistake. A scream then is heard deep into the witch barrier. Faust and the girls track the source of the scream, worried about Kyouko, only to find her being impaled viciously by the blood witch, bursting her Soul Gem and ending her life.

Although Kyouko never makes a physical appearance for awhile after her quick, tragic death, she seemingly still has a presence throughout Revolution, particularly with Mami and Yuma. After Mami defeated Elsa Maria with her Rage mode, Faust asked her how did it feel, with Mami responding that she heard Kyouko's voice telling her to keep fighting and protect Yuma. Even after Mami dies at the hand of a witch imitating Kyouko, Yuma was also able to hear Kyouko's voice as she activated her Rage mode, saving her from turning completely mad.

Kyouko finally makes her physical reappearance after Faust does the unthinkable and breaks causality. After defeating the Oktavia of another timeline, Faust and the girls find themselves in TL3 of the anime. They end up witnessing the scene in which Mami is about to kill Kyouko and Homura, only to be killed by Madoka. Faust decides to intervene and successfully stops Mami from killing Kyouko. After convincing Mami that everything will be alright, Faust decides to return to her original timeline, only for Kyouko to intervene and say she's coming too. The rest of the TL3 girls decide that they will also accompany Faust and her friends to help her defeat Walpurgisnacht. As Faust concentrates in transporting them back into her own world, Faust merges all existing timelines into her own, giving TL3 Mami and Kyouko the memories of Faust's timeline.

Sketch (Retconned, but Harem is canon)

After the defeat of Ferocia, Kyouko and Yuma started living together with Sayaka in Sketch. Kyouko, along with Sayaka, becomes one of Yuma's "mommies." Kyouko is also said to have a harem, with every one of the girls being attracted to her in some degree. Sayaka is obviously romantically attracted to Kyouko and is together with her. Mami is Kyouko's old friend from the past and still greatly cares about her. Homura is tsundere for Kyouko because she's the sexiest and one of the only people she could trust to work with in past timelines. Madoka is attracted to Kyouko because her VA, Aoi Yuuki, loves Kyouko deeply and claims her as her waifu. Even Faust, who holds no romantic feelings towards Kyouko, think she's sexy as hell. The 999 voices in her head also agrees. Yuma is the only exception because Kyouko is her mommy. Kyouko's harem is probably a result of the rare Kyouko gland that only a few people possess. This gland is said to grant the ability to make anyone fall in love or become attracted to the person in possession of the gland.

Rebuild

Kyouko hasn't made much of an appearance in Rebuild as of now, only showing up with Yuma after the Infernal Witch gets defeated by Hitomi, and then going on a witch-hunt with Mami and Yuma.

Chitose Yuma

Magia yuma.JPG

Revolution

A young orphan under the care of Kyouko. She was tricked into contracting by Oriko, which provoked Kyouko into hunting Oriko and Kirika down.

Upon discovering Kyouko's brutalized corpse after dealing with Oriko and Kirika, Yuma was about to lose it and transform into a witch, if Faust didn't snap out of her own shock and quickly gave Yuma a grief seed and calmed her down, telling her that Kyouko would want her to live on and continue to fight, and that she can't give up. Mami also decides that she will fight and continue to live on in Kyouko's place, and becomes Yuma's new caretaker.

Yuma is shown to be a very fragile, dependent, and emotional child throughout Revolution, to the point where she seemed almost yandere as she is very prone to brief periods of madness and anger. When Mami was in danger by being killed by a witch during Sayaka's dinner date, she briefly became mad, shouting "NEVER TOUCH MY ONEE-CHAN!" Her madness seemingly made her stronger, as she was successfully able to prevent Mami from dying. After defeating the witch, Kyousuke's ungratefulness and fear of the witches and the magical girls angered Yuma. She almost wanted to tell him off, if she didn't realize that it wouldn't be worth it anyways.

The day of Walpurgisnacht, Mami and Yuma visit the Sakura Church once last time, before the final battle. There they find what seemingly is the spirit of Kyouko in physical form. Mami and Yuma are shocked, their friend seemingly alive again. Kyouko thanks Mami for taking care of Yuma all this time and embraces the both of them, only to then reveal she is a witch imitating Kyouko's form. The witch then impales the both of them with her tendrils. Mami, fueled with rage again, transforms into her MG form, only for her head to be quickly decapitated and crushed by the witch, sealing her death. Yuma, who now realized she lost both of her Onee-chans, activates her Rage mode, defeating the witch, and almost going completely mad, were it not for Kyouko's spirit and voice calming her down. Luckily for her, Mami and Kyouko are brought back with their memories thanks to Faust breaking causality and merging all timelines into one.

Sketch (Retconned)

In Sketch, Yuma and Kyouko live together at Sayaka's place. Yuma also deemed both Kyouko and Sayaka as her "mommies."

Rebuild

Yuma has not done much in Rebuild as of yet, only healing Faust's leg after it gets torn-off by an Infernal Witch, and then going a witch hunt with Kyouko and Mami.

Shizuki Hitomi

Revolution

With Kyousuke isolating himself after the witch incident at the dinner date with Sayaka, and with Madoka and Sayaka seemingly ignoring her and hanging out with Mami and Homura instead, Hitomi has felt nothing but loneliness and neglect throughout Revolution. The potential despair Hitomi held piqued Kyubey's interest, and he decided she was eligible for a contract in episode 15, which was also the day of Walpurgisnacht. Kyubey tells Hitomi that her friends are in danger, and that he can grant her the powers to fight and protect them if she has a wish. Hitomi then wishes to protect everyone she holds dear, and becomes a magical girl.

Hitomi's abilities include having mastery over hand-to-hand fighting with her fists and legs, along with superhuman strength. Hitomi also has the ability to shoot pillars of strong flames from her hands as her primary ranged attack. Complimenting her strong CQC skills is her ability to create powerful barriers that can protect her and those around her.

At the end of Revolution, Hitomi is friends with Faust and the rest of the girls. She is a bit depressed over Kyousuke isolating himself from her and Sayaka, but Faust tells her that if he doesn't snap out of it, he's just a coward (not worth the effort).

Sketch (Retconned)

In Sketch, Hitomi is the one who planned the vacation to the beach. After Faust somehow revives Mazushii (Poorfag) from the dead, Hitomi and Mazushii become close friends.

Rebuild

Hitomi is still friends with Faust and the rest of the girls, but is still depressed over Kyousuke isolating himself. Faust cheers up Hitomi, saying Sayaka loved him, but was able to let go of him, and that she should too. She says the violin boy is definitely not worth the effort, and that if she ever needed anything, she and the rest of the girls are here for her. It is then explicitly stated that Hitomi started developing a crush on Faust.

As Faust is about to get killed by an Infernal Witch, Hitomi shows up and saves Faust, defeating the new monster.

Kyubey

Magia kyubey.jpg

Revolution

Kyubey maintains a similar as he did in the anime. Not knowing the existence of Faust, he questions Madoka's motives as to why she willingly let Homura kill him, instead of trying to save him in the first episode. Although he repeatedly tries to contract Madoka and Sayaka throughout Revolution similar to the anime, Faust's efforts prevents Kyubey from accomplishing anything. In fact, Kyubey becomes more like a butt monkey than an actual antagonist in Revolution. In many instances where Faust was in a dangerous situation, she often used Kyubey as distraction. This is especially apparent when Faust gets attacked by Walpurgisnacht's familiars. In combination with her Mind Bomb, Faust used a couple of Kyubey's bodies as a projectile, firing him at mach speed towards the familiars. This technique became known as the Kyubey Bullet. In another instance where Faust falls into a deep chasm inside Walpurgisnacht's clock tower, she uses Kyubey with her Mind Bomb again, this time however as a sort of catapult to launch herself back up. This technique became known as the Kyubeypult or Kyubeyrocket. After Ferocia is defeated, Kyubey tells Faust that Soul Gems no longer become corrupted, which means witches exist no longer, seemingly destroying the Magical Girl System. This is actually retconned in the new Revolution ending redux. The Magical Girl System still remains intact after the defeat of Ferocia. Witches can still exist, although a new type of witch also surfaced in Rebuild from Faust's distortions, the Infernals.

Covenant and Sketch (Retconned)

In Covenant, Kyubey tries to stop and eliminate Anbey from spreading further chaos with her plans of a world war, as it interferes with his own plan. It is revealed that Kyubey got the Magical Girl System working again, with magical girls becoming human witches instead.

In Sketch, Kyubey only makes one appearance, attempting to contract Madoka after Homura is killed by human Oktavia. Faust stops him just in time however, and sacrifices her own life to save Homura in Madoka's place.

Rebuild

Kyubey's first appearance in Rebuild is similar in Revolution, as once again he is used as a diversion for Faust to avoid getting killed by familiars. After Kyubey tells Faust of Ayase Souju, a rogue magical girl who hunts other MGs and collects their Soul Gems, Faust and Kyubey try to find Mami, Kyouko, and Yuma and warn them about her. During their search, Faust stumbles upon a strange boy who calls himself Randy. Faust immediately notices that Randy LOOKED at Kyubey, and tells Kyubey to follow him and spy on him.

Backstory

Third Axis: Rage

Due to Faust's distortions in the universe, a third function was 'hacked' into the Soul Gem. Now, when a Puella Magi experiences intense fluctuations of rage, their magical capacity increases. This offers a boost in combat. However, reliance on this power can prove to be quite dangerous. Both Grief and Rage can coexist in the Soul Gem, making for catastrophic results. It can cause a large explosion, consuming the entire surrounding area. An overflow of Rage can cause something covered down below.

Infernal Witches/Infernal

An Infernal is a Puella Magi that has been consumed by Rage. The Soul Gem becomes a bright red before becoming a dark brown. The Soul Gem explodes, causing the body of the original Puella Magi to disintegrate in the blast. The nature of an Infernal Witch is far different than that of a regular witch. Instead of hiding in a barrier, Infernal's will directly attack their targets. They aren't afraid of Puellae Magi and have no interest in hiding. They're a physical manifestation of the Puella Magi's hate for the world. Their behavior is linked to the source of their Rage. For instance, if Homura transformed she would destroy everything but Madoka. Anything that would cause the girl sadness, she would obliterate it without remorse.

Ferocia

Witch of Causality

Nature: To Balance

Ferocia is a witch that was given life after the erasing of Walpurgisnacht. Ferocia is essentially a super powerful Walpurgisnacht caused by Faust's distortions in the timeline. Upon being erased, Walpurgisnacht was sent to another plane of existence outside the bounds of reality. Faust fell victim to her own distortions, being teleported to the same plane. Due to the fact that Faust's fears gave birth to this monstrous distortion, it's her responsibility to defeat it. All of Faust's activity in the Madokaverse was balanced out by the birth of Ferocia. The despair caused by Faust's distortions take the form of Grief Seeds that pile into the witch, strengthening it to the point of some kind of god. Ferocia has properites of witches that were born, are born, and are going to be born from all timelines, creating the strongest being in existence.

Vapor Tale Characters

Blake Lumen

Age: 16

Species: Human/Purifer

Weapon: Steam-work Broadsword

Magic: Can't be used

Hometown: Dogwood

Personality: By definition, Blake is an idiot. He isn't too bright when it comes to math, history, or any other subject. He can't even read. The only thing he's knowledgable in is fighting and even then that is self-taught. While his sister often studies Albert's books, Blake is working on his own sword. He has a knack for steam-tech and adventuring (which he mostly does outside of the city).

On a personal level, Blake is very protective of his sister. If something is bothering her, he'll be the first one to jump to see what's wrong. He's confident, kind, and an all around good kid. Just not all that bright.

Bio: Blake and his twin Cecilia are both victims of the Mist Quake that happened 12 years before the beginning of the story. Blake was traumatized during the event, having barely any memory of what happened.

Both he and Cecilia grew up in the city of Almond before the quake. Albert was there next door neighbor and family friend. Upon their parents deaths, Albert took them in.

Blake and Cecilia now live with Albert in the city of Drupel, under his care.

Cecilia Atrum

Age: 16

Species: Human/Purifier

Weapon: Dual Steam-work long swords

Magic: Can't be used

Hometown: Dogwood

Personality: Cecilia is often seen studying sword techniques, magical and historical texts, anything and everything she could find in Albert's study. She's knowledgable in both the effects of Steam and Mist but sometimes has moments where she's forgetful. Cecilia is clearly the intelligent of the two twins and she shows it.

Cecilia, being the odler of the two, often scolds Blake for his stupid decisions. However, she does show her love for her brother. She serves as the mother figure in Blake's life. Albert feeds and clothes them, but often leaves the two to their own devices. Reason for that is that Albert, deep down, know's they're good kids.

Another side of the girl is that she's impatient and has a short fuse. If anybody or anything hurts her brother, she'll let loose.

Bio: Cecilia and her twin Blake are both victims of the Mist Quake that happened 12 years before the beginning of the story. Cecilia was caught in the quake but she was saved and escorted to the outside of the city. The girl worried about her brother for the better part of an hour after the disaster had happened. Albert returns around that time with Blake in his arms. Her brother was saved.

Both Cecilia and Blake grew up in the city of Dogwood before the quake. Albert was there next door neighbor and family friend. Upon their parents deaths, Albert took them in.

Blake and Cecilia now live with Albert in the city of Drupel, under his care.

Chloe Kulasten

Age: 17

Species: Human/Witch

Weapon: Hand-to-Hand fighting

Magic: Fire/Light based

Hometown: Drupel

Personality: Chloe, although she may not look it, is intelligable in the magical arts. Her parents are famous magic users in Drupel so she's forced to uphold the family name of Kulasten. She, along with her two friends Bri and Kelsey, are the strongest young magic users in Drupel. The other young magic users look to them with respect. This respect causes Chloe to be a bit big-headed but both Bri and Kelsey bring her back down to Earth. The three girls have a habit of giving Cecilia a hard time, making fun of her since she can't use magic due to being a Purifer. The truth is Chloe is envious of the girl, she respects her more than her own parents. The other magic users look down on the Purifiers, thinking of them as useless. Chloe, on the other hand, respects Cecilia and Blake. They work as hard as they can to carry on with their lives without the comfort of magic. They're purely human. Chloe recognizes what the others refuse to acknowledge. Their own spirit.

Chloe is a confident, outspoken individiual. She can't keep things to herself. If she has something to say, you better get ready to hear it. She doesn't care for the concequences until after they happen, then again she isn't one to think about the future.

Bio: Chloe was born and raised in the city of Drupel by both her parents. She was forced to study the magic arts when she was young in order to live up to her parents expectations. The more she grew up, the more she felt closed in, as if she didn't have a decision in her future. Up until she was six, she didn't have much of a life. Study with her parents, eat, and then sleep. Other kids were taking classes in guilds or other activities, she was stuck at home studying under her parents' supervision. Along this way of study, her parents introduced her to both Kelsey and Bri. The two became fast friends and once Chloe turned twelve, she had learned everything her parents could teach her.

Her parents, however, wanted her to expand her horizons. She was forced to join into the local Mages' Guild. Due to her training from her parents, she was already at a whole other level than the other young mages. The teacher's were also taken by surprise from Chloe's talents. The girl actually became the youngest mage to join the guild as a teacher. However, the girl was kicked out due to her teaching methods. Physically punching the kids her age that didn't turn in their work was common place. Upon being kicked out of the guild, something she planned for, she went back to hanging out with Kelsey and Bri.

The three began to teach local kids about magic, those who didn't have enough money to join the Guilds'. Chloe's parents found out and told her to stop wasting her talents on the children. Chloe refused and continued instruction. The only person Chloe seems to have a problem with is Cecilia and her way of living.

She torments the girl repeatedly upon meeting her after she turned twelve. Cecilia was only a year younger than her and she was studying the mechanics of Steam and Mist, the history of the world, everything on her own. She couldn't use magic. She was ridiculed for it but Cecilia fought through it, growing up to be strong. Chloe, in the end, respects her for it.
