With witches are fallen magical girls theory proven true, the fan base has moved to speculate the prior lives of the girls and the nature of their wishes prior to their witchification. This page is dedicated to such speculations:
Gertrud
Suleika
Charlotte
Based on her lair as interspicing of hopistal and dessert motive, the fanbase has speculated that Charlotte was a young terminal cancer patient whom contracted with Kyuubey to recover. Many cancer patients must refrain from dairy, thus explain her desire for cheese.
Elly
Albertine
Gisela
Elsa Maria
Possibly a similar story to Kyouko, or possibly Kyouko's younger sister.
As she seems of a religious bent and her shadow takes humans and animals alike without discrimination, her wish could have been a vaguely-worded one to help others (which the Incubators' plan already does) or to bring salvation to all, and she might have devoted her life as a magical girl to the destruction of "demonic beings" witches appear to be (many Christian demons have unusual forms, so thinking witches as agents of Hell is presumably an easy mistake to make.)
