Personality
Madoka is overall a kind, well-behaved, and outgoing girl who deeply wants to help others; as her official description on the series' website states, "even her bow-wielding magical girl form projects an air of kind friendliness." Perhaps because of this desire, she is also plagued by self-doubt: she feels that she doesn't excel at anything in particular, and thus won't achieve anything of worth in her life.
In school, Madoka's interests appear to veer toward the arts: Art is her favorite subject, she enjoys sketching, and is a member of both the Gardening and Crafts clubs. She doesn't perform as well in the natural sciences and Phys. Ed., but tries to be a good student nonetheless; she never "borrows" her friends' notes without permission, and always arrives at school on time.

Trivia
- Ume Aoki's design notes for Madoka are as follows:
- I drew her keeping in mind that as the main character she needs to be average, but also an exceptionally good girl. Hence her puffy, high-placed twin tails. The design and color of her ribbons took a lot of work, but in the end calmed down to something simple.
- On her magical girl outfit: Madoka was drawn to be the very image of a magical girl. I added an almost fairytale-ish hints, so hopefully female viewers will be charmed by her as well.
- On her school uniform: Designed to convey the classy image of a private girls’ school, while not being -too- normal. Its distinguishing point is the small hole at the nape of the neck.
- The first character of her last name (鹿) means "deer". The last character (目) means "eye."
- Her last name can also be used as a first name.
- Her last name sounds the same as (要), which means "keystone" or "hub". In the eleventh episode of the anime, Kyubey reveals that Madoka's great magic power has developed due to her becoming the "hub" of multiple universes, all of which were created due to Homura's wish to save her.
- Her first name is written in hiragana, which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean "round" or "tranquil" (円).
- Madoka has many stuffed animals similar in appearance to Kyubey in her room.
