| Japanese Name | 千歳ゆま (Yuma Chitose) |
Yuma Chitose (千歳ゆま) is a character from Puella Magi Oriko Magica. She is an orphan whose parents were killed by witches. Kyouko is her current caretaker.
Personality
Yuma alternates between acts of maturity and childishness, showing delight in small things and childlike affection towards Kyouko, but also seriousness when events require it. She can be hot-headed and prone to spontaneous acts and much like Madoka, exhibits insecurity and a strong feeling of self-worthlessness. Although in Yuma's case, this could be explained by her backstory as an abused child. Yuma, like other magical girls, exhibits a desire to help others and contracts to help Kyouko.
History
Yuma Chitose was raised as an abused child by a family that both physically and emotionally abused her by scarring her with cigarette burn marks on her forehead underneath her hair and told she is worthless. After a witch attacks and kills her family, Kyouko saves Yuma and they bond over a common troubled past with their families. Kyouko takes Yuma under her wing and tries to teach Yuma her values while they live as loners outside of society--doing such things as sneaking into public baths. While showing affection for Kyouko, Yuma goes against her advice and contracts with Kyubey to become a magical girl, out of a desire to help Kyouko. After the contract, Yuma shows magical powers of healing to help Kyouko.
