Personality

Is 18 years old. Sayaka is shown to act slightly tomboyish and heroic. She cares a lot for her friends, made clear by her immediately making the contract to become a Magical Girl just so she could save Madoka. Despite acting tomboyish, she does have a girly side, shown by her interest in romance and classical music.

However, her vision of love is very unrealistic. She hates the idea of being rejected by people that she loves. When Kyousuke started dating Hitomi, Sayaka felt hurt and rejected. This showed that she wanted to get praise for her wish and even to get the chance to date him. She also no longer had the courage to confess to Kyousuke ever since she found out the truth about Soul Gems, and regarded herself as a zombie because her soul is outside of her body.

She rarely thinks twice before acting on something and comes into conflict with others easily. When combined with her kindness and courage, those two traits make her ignorant and careless. As said by Homura, those kinds of traits are fatal for Magical Girls, as she wouldn't get anything in return for her kindness, which turns out to be true. Being careless could also sometimes make her forget things like her Soul Gem, as seen in The Veranda of Madoka.

Sayaka also has a strong sense of justice, yet an unideal view of the world. She views the world to be black and white, and outright shows dislike to anyone (including Magical Girls) who shows an amount of self-greed, such as fighting Witches for their own good rather than protecting others. She also believes in fighting those who she views as unjust, even if they are Magical Girls and not witches.

Ultimately, her vision of the world being "black and white" and her overly heroic mindset, her idealistic vision of love, along with her kindness yet stubbornness, have led her to her demise, becoming unstable and self-destructive and refusing to get help from others. She falls into a spiral of deep despair and her Soul Gem becomes dull to the point that she succumbs to becoming a witch. As a civilian, Sayaka has short-medium blue hair with yellow hairclips (possibly the forte symbol) and blue oval-shaped eyes. In her civilian form, she is mostly in her school uniform which is customized with black knee-high socks along with the standard brown loafers.

As a Magical Girl, her clothing consists of a faded blue breast piece with yellow trimming and thin frills above a white corset that has yellow diamond shaped buttons and yellow trimming with thin frills, a dark-ish blue asymmetrical pleated skirt with a white brim held up by a dark blue belt with a yellow buckle and a cobalt blue skirt that is split into square shaped segments, white thigh-high stockings that have blue trims tied by blue buckled straps, deep azure-teal boots, a white thigh-long cape and 4 pairs of gloves: dull prussian blue opera gloves with similarly coloured arm bands, and wrist-length white gloves with blue cuffs. Her Soul Gem is embedded in her belly button and has a C shape she accessories with a golden clip shaped like 2 f's, representing "fortissimo." Her outfit looks like a knight's. Etymology

Sayaka (さやか?): Since it's written in Hiragana, it has no specific meaning. When in kanji, it can mean "fresh" (清か?).[1]

Miki (美樹?): Mi (美?) means "beauty"[2] and ki (樹?) translates to "timber tree"[3]. Altogether, it can also mean "shake offered to the gods" (神酒?)[4] which could foreshadow the events of episode 8.

Relationships Madoka Kaname: Sayaka's childhood friend. They're best friends and classmates since a young age when Sayaka was protecting Madoka from a group of bullies during elementary school. Sayaka would do anything to protect Madoka and so would Madoka. They care deeply for each other and would stand for each other at all costs. Madoka would be truly hurt if something happened to Sayaka and was showing concern when Sayaka was despairing in the series' main timeline and the opposite would happen. Mami Tomoe: Fellow Magical Girl and friend. They met when Mami saved her and Madoka from a Witch's Labyrinth in episode 1. Sayaka looks up to Mami and wishes to become as strong as Mami both mentally and as a Magical Girl one day. She cares deeply for her and would do anything for Mami. Mami appreciates Sayaka's passion for becoming a Magical Girl. Kyoko Sakura: Kyoko and Sayaka initially had a hate relationship. Kyoko was disappointed when she found out Sayaka had become a Magical Girl because these two have different opinions and values. Kyoko strongly remembers her old self when she sees Sayaka's Magical Girl story and personality. She wanted to show Sayaka her mistakes so she wouldn't be like Kyoko. When Sayaka became a Witch, Kyoko carried her corpse out of Oktavia von Seckendorff's Barrier. Sayaka and Kyoko built a friendship after the series' events and also in Magia Record. Homura Akemi: A Magical Girl who she sees as an enemy and annoys her to no end. She doesn't like her at all and the same is true for Homura. She usually tries to create conflicts with Homura. Homura even attempted to kill Sayaka because she didn't want Madoka to see Sayaka fully destroying herself.Episode 08 It appears that this relationship exists in several timelines. However, other timelines shown in Magia Record or Drama CD 2 depict them as very good friends caring for each other, though mostly because Sayaka isn't a Magical Girl or her personality is different. In Rebellion, Sayaka and Homura were also good friends, and at some point Sayaka tries to guide and help out Homura discover the secret of the labyrinth they're all trapped in. Around the end however, Sayaka goes back to hating her for what she did as Devil Homura, and tries to attack her. Kyubey: Sayaka was protective of Kyubey at first because she didn't know Kyubey's actual nature. After finding out the secret behind Soul Gems and briefly for Magical Girls, she hates Kyubey to no end.Episode 06 She likes classic music thanks to Kyosuke. Sayaka hates sea cucumbers. Drama CD 4 In one of her Magia Record game quotes, she specifies that she comes from a middle-class family. The forte hairclip could reference her tendency to be loud or more impulse-driven then other characters. It could also just reference her love for classical music.
