Umika Misaki (御崎 海香) is a major character in Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice.
An accomplished novelist, she lives with Kazumi and Kaoru while their parents are working overseas. She provides for them financially with the money earned from her books. She is a Puella Magi, and a member of the Pleiades Saints. She wished for the chance to meet an editor that would recognize her works.
Personality
Kaoru is the brains of the three, and also seems to fill that role with the Pleiades. Although a rather cheery person and far from cold, she keeps her cool most of the time, carefully analyzing situations.
As a writer, she often has episodes of writer's block. When this happens, her personality changes dramatically: She becomes extremely frustrated and grows visible horns, going on a cooking frenzy. Her cooking is rather good, and eating it generally solves her block. When this does not work, she goes on a shopping spree with her friends: given her wealth, money is not an issue. Still, she can be quite stingy: it is said she will go anywhere to save one Yen in groceries.
She wished for an editor who would recognize her works. When asked why she didn't simply wish to be a best-selling author, she states she did not want talent, but fame. This may mean she either believes in her own talent, or simply wants to be famous. Either way, she uses the money she earns to give herself and her friends a comfortable life.
History
This section may contain major spoilers for the Kazumi Magica manga!
Please refrain from reading if you haven't read the latest chapter yet.
Umika has so far only appeared in Kazumi Magica.
Her first appearance was at the mall where Kazumi was being traded for a bomb. After getting reacquainted with Kazumi, she and Kaoru led her to their house. While she was out, Kazumi met and fought the police detective from earlier. Umika and Kaoru arrived just after the end of the battle, picking up what a Grief Seed like object (later revealed to be an Evil Nut) that appeared when the detective was defeated.
The next day, she suffers from writer's block, acting awkwardly towards the other girls, growing horns and cooking maniacally. This almost worked, had it not been for an untimely comment by Kazumi. She then used her second trick to overcome her block: shopping. This apparently worked. While leaving the mall, Kazumi's "witch detector" sensed something in a nearby alley, leading her to a pseudo-witch. In the resulting battle, the monster gets the upper hand, prompting Umika and Kaoru to show their own powers to Kazumi and awakening some of her lost memories. However, Kazumi's attempt to follow those memories causes her to nearly hit Umika and allows the pseudo-witch get away. Umika and Kaoru "punish" hKazumi by giving her a new (and rather messy) haircut while telling her about magic and their own wishes . Afterwards, they meet and defeat the same pseudo-witch, who is briefly seen with a mysterious Puella Magi.
Sometime later the three fight a "real" witch Kazumi hesitates at a critical moment, causing Kaoru to nearly be devoured by the witch. Umika jumped inside the witch just in time to summon a protective barrier around the two of them, but the witch flees with both of them trapped inside. Kazumi meets the remaining Pleiades, and they engage in a mad rush to save the two before Umika's barrier collapses. They arrive just in time to save them both and defeat the witch.
While they celebrate their victory, they are attacked by the mysterious Puella Magi from earlier, Yuuri. She kidnaps Kazumi, and orders them to go to the Asunaro Dome if they want Kazumi back. They head there, but due to a force barrier, they can do nothing but watch.
Powers, Weapons & Abilities
Having made a wish related to writing, her weapon is an magical book. It's main function is to read the opponent's mind, their thoughts being written on it. Umika can then use that information to identify the enemy's weakness, and come up with a plan.
She can also summon objects from the book, most often a ball for Kaoru's attacks.
For close range attacks, she can transform the book into a double-edged pole, with the covers acting as blades. This pole has the ability to sever the link between humans and pseudo-witches spawned by them.
She can also summon a protective barrier around her, but she can only maintain it for a limited period of time.
Speculation
- The note that Kaoru and Umika leave to Kazumi states that they're out dating, but there are no boys around them. Some believe this to be evidence of a romantic relationship between Umika and Kaoru.
