Summary

A Magical Girl from the main family of the Tokime Clan who is their current leader. Born and raised in an isolated rural village, it was decided that she would become a "Diviner" (Puella Magi) for the sake of Japan. Its her first time living in the city, so everyone is helping her out. She's been good at fishing since she was young.

Doppel Description

The Doppel of Peace. Its form is a Thousand Hands. The master of this emotion devotes her life to others to a self-sacrificing degree, and because her Doppel shares a similar mindset, the two are deeply linked with each other. This Doppel reacts sensitively to those who its master views as enemies, and if necessary, it will wield violence against said enemies to instill in them an understanding of the wonders of altruism. Those who receive its teachings will suffer hideous injuries, but due to this Doppel’s brilliant gold shine and the artistic nature of the violence it inflicts, its victims become so fascinated as to forget the pain entirely, and are said to become its captives before they even know it.

Side Story

It starts with the Tokime trio going shopping and also visiting Emiri's office to hang out. There they also bump into Hinano and Kanoko. After some awkward introductions to Kanoko by Emiri, Shizuka stumbles as she has no idea what the heck is a factory. Kanoko thoroughly explains. Emiri wonders (while not being very polite about it) what it's like living in a countryside. Their responses about this differ, because Chiharu was originally from the city and Sunao is from a different village and more educated about modern life compared to Shizuka. They also mention that they first met not so long ago. Emiri is again surprised how did they bond so quickly, to which Shizuka proudly answers that they are bound by their desire to protect the country and explains the whole shtick behind the Tokime purpose and thinks that people from outside may not understand that. In fact, Hinano, Kanoko and Emiri are chill about it. To each their own, everyone's different etc. And Emiri says "As long as you have no regrets, it's okay!"

To which Shizuka again stumbles because she never even thought about it. She was just eager to become a protector of Japan. She didn't even understood what she was asked to wish for. But it didn't matter to her, because she was told it was for the good of Japan. The wish was to break up some economic agreement. After some thought, she decided to look it up, with the help of everyone, including Ryoko and Chika. Although the initial search gave no results, it was later decided to look for some info in the village, also to no avail. Until Shizuka and Chiharu were finally able to talk to their mothers. Chiharu's mom mentions that there was talk about that economic break up on the news, but she doesn't remember much. But if anything did came off that, it was the industrial status quo in the country. But Shizuka is still not convinced that her wish actually was good, so the next day she announces to her team and the moms that she wants to look at the files from the elder's computer. Shizuka's mom wasn't able to erase them and asked Chiraru's mom to save them on hers.

After some objections from Sunao, the needed recording was played and it turns out her wish was bought by someone who wanted to save the factories, otherwise he would have been out of work if the agreement stood. But this actually devastated Shizuka because her wish was used by someone. But she immediately put on a brave face, started saying that everything is fine and convincing herself that her wish doesn't matter as long as she is a good head of the clan. And to stay true to this, she intensively started to drill and train her meguca clan members. But her fellow Tokime actually decided to keep looking for clues, because it hurts them to see her like this. Sunao and Chiharu remember Kanoko talking them about her family's metal factory and decide to go to Emiri to find out how to contact her to see if she knows something.

After explaining the situation to Hinano and Emiri, the latter again has her burst of random brilliant ideas and tells them instead of looking for those who suffered from this, to look for people who were saved. Chiharu remembers her mom's words about industrial status quo and Hinano elaborates that due to the agreement breaking off, many local manufacturers were saved by staying in work, thus Japanese economy didn't go down. And because essentially nothing changed for the country, there were little to no news about it, which is why Sunao and Chiharu couldn't find anything. (Chiharu actually made an analogy about preventing a murder not being a good enough headline). Chiharu and Sunao arrange a meeting with Kanoko at the factory and dragged Shizuka there, where Kanoko's father tells her that if that agreement came through, his factory would have been dead because goods from overseas would have actually come cheaper and his production would have been defeated by it. (Unlike now, when his factory is actually selling goods to a big company, as Kanoko mentioned during the first meeting).

Shizuka, moved by this, decides to accept the fact that she was used, but to feel pride about what her wish brought. Overflowing with resolve, she decides to go shopping alone, while her fellow Tokime are at schools.

Etymology

• The characters of her last name mean "time" (時) and "woman" (女) respectively.
  • It likely comes from the words tokimeku (ときめく) and tokimeki (ときめき), which both have a similar meaning of being highly emotional, excitement, or heartbeat. If so, this likely references Kimochi.
• The characters of her first name mean "quiet" (静) and "incense" (香) respectively.

Trivia

• She has been living in the secluded Tokime Village all her life and has a lot of trouble adjusting when they go to Kamihama. It is shown that she only sees trains in photos, seldom travelling by cars, even does not know what a smartphone and IC card is. At one point she even gets stuck on the subway turnstile and having trouble using a vending machine. In the comic Magia Report, she calls chocolate "tasty black sugary treats".
• There are some speculations about the school she enrolls. She might be a student in Kirimine Village Middle School - the same school as Sunao's, or as she has been living in the village without leaving, it can be suggested that she has been homeschooled. In Shizuka's episode of Mitama training, the latter is conformed as correct.
• It is said in Chapter 2 of Arc 2 that, she might contracted at most three years before the main story takes place.
• Shizuka knows little to no English, but very skilled in handling complicate kanjis. Ironically, her VA speaks English very fluent, as she has been living most of her life in Australia.
• Her Doppel is named after a Hindu goddess of the same name (whose name can mean either "to cross" or "star"), a form of Shakti (a primordial cosmic entity who represents the dynamic forces that move throughout the entire universe).
  • A version of a Hindu creation myth claims that when the Earth was first created, it only had water and land, and lacked the ability for life to spring forth without the sun. The two creation deities changed forms, one of them becoming Tara: Tara has the capability to produce light, energy and heat. When the power met with that of the other deity, their combined power became the source of the sun. When their combined powers got integrated in the sea, many pulsating energy orbs were created, in which it led to the expansion of energy. This most likely references the Tokime Clan's goals to replicate and help expand Kamihama's Doppel field.
  • Tara is also the name of a Buddhist diety known as the "mother of liberation". She is said to have be created from the tears of the entity Avalokiteśvara when he beheld the suffering of the world. Tara is known to manifest as a teenage girl and according to one legend, swore to always manifest in a female form to show that anyone can be saved regardless of gender. Note that Madoka Kaname herself can be interpreted as a Buddhist savior.
    • Its Doppel description bears similarities to that of Kriemhild Gretchen.
  • Outside of its Hindu/Buddhist themes, Tara has long hair, a black beak, and three scaled tails that resemble fish fins. It's appearence is likely inspired by the Amabie, a Japanese supernatural mermaid monster known for predicting good harvests and disease outbreaks. The Amabie's image is a source of healing.
