| Japanese Name | 美国 織莉子 (Mikuni Oriko) |
Oriko Mikuni (美国 織莉子 Mikuni Oriko) is a character from Puella Magi Oriko Magica. She is friends with Kirika Kure.
Personality
Oriko's goal is protecting the peace she has achieved in her life with her friend, Kirika. She enjoys teasing Kirika, but deep down, she cares for her a lot.
History
Oriko contracted with Kyubey for a currently unknown wish. When testing out her magic for the first time, Oriko sees a vision of Mitakihara Town in ruins. Witches have left the city in a state much like that caused by Walpurgisnacht. She knows that she cannot let it go unchallenged, but that it is much too strong for her to face. Oriko is struck by another vision and sees a vision of a girl who can stop the witch. She tells Kyubey that this girl is a great Puella Magi candidate.
She appears again when Kyouko has gone to fight a witch, leaving Yuma behind at their hotel room. She speaks to Yuma and suggests that Kyouko may already be dead, playing on Yuma's fear of being alone. Yuma rushes off to find her friend, leading to a chain reaction of events that ends with her being contracted. Kyouko swears she's going to make Oriko pay for causing it.
In a flashback, it's revealed that Oriko is the daughter of a politician, Hisaomi Mikuni. As a child, she helped him in his campaign.
