1. #1Magical Girls

   Keys: Magical Girls, Magical Girl · Secondary: Contract

   A Magical Girl is a girl who has formed a contract with Kyubey, having one wish granted and in exchange, the contractees must fight Witches. Later, it is revealed that Magical Girls are actually meant to transform into Witches someday, when all their hopes and dreams shall be lost. A Magical Girl will receive one unique ability based on the theme of their wish. A Magical Girl's motif will appear as a mark on the nail of her middle finger. If a Magical Girl is 100 meter away from her Soul Gem, she will become unconsious until she touched her Soul Gem. Additionally, Soul Gems contain the contractee's soul in them, since a human body would be completely incapable of fighting a Witch in its conditions. A teenage who is on their way to become a woman is simply named "girl". Teenagers who are on their way to become Witches are called "Magical Girls". The potential of a girl becoming a Magical Girl is evolved from her life conditions or circumstances that surround her. Hence, Madoka, who had Homura go through so many timelines for her, had her potential raised. In the same episode, the reason why Magical Girls are born is given. Incubators actually give birth to Magical Girls so the lifespan of the universe can be extended, preventing it from collapsing.

   {{Char}} is a magical girl.

2. #2Soul Gem

   Keys: Gem, Soul, Soul Gem · Secondary: Ring

   Soul Gem is a holding place for a Magical Girl's soul and the source of both her powers and battle gear. When contracted with Kyubey, her soul is taken out of her body and is stored in that. Soul Gems have the appearance reminiscent of a Fabergé egg. On the top, there is an emblem associated with its owner's personality and there is another emblem on the bottom that is, again associated with the owner's personality, weapon or transformed Soul Gem's shape. In camouflage mode, they become silver rings worn in the middle finger. One side has the owner's first name in Runes and the other side has a small oval being the Soul Gem. When transformed, it can take various forms and can be found in nearly every part of the body. Ranging from neck to legs. It can either become one with the body or simply become an accesory. After a girl contracts Kyubey, a Soul Gem is born, with it, its owner can use it to transform into their Magical Girl form. Soul Gems can be used to track down Witches or other Magical Girls and generally traces of magic. Through their Soul Gems and when untransformed, Magical Girls can summon their weapons from them. After it's fully polluted, it breaks and becomes a Grief Seed. This can be prevented by using Grief Seeds obtained by Witches. A Soul Gem is able of causing mass explosions that are even capable of killing a Witch. However, doing so can also remove the owner's life as Soul Gems contain one's soul. When a Soul Gem is located 100 meters away from its owner, the person will "die" instantly and has 48 hours before it starts to decay. Such incidents are said to be rare by Kyubey. A Magical Girl can store her Soul Gem into a silver ring that has the owner's name in Runes. Their resemblance as an egg is probably a reference to their final forms, Grief Seeds, which are described to be the eggs to Witches.

   {{Char}} has a Soul Gem.

If a used Grief Seed is not consumed by Kyubey, the same Witch will be born again. Grief Seeds are said to be obtained only through Witches.

4. #4Witches

   Keys: Witches, Witch · Secondary: magical girls, Evil, antagonist

   The Witches are primary antagonists featured in the Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica franchise. They tend to hide themselves into otherworlds known as Labyrinths alongside their Familiars. They drop Grief Seeds once defeated. Witches are the end result of Magical Girls, once despair entirely overtakes their Soul Gem. The metamorphosis into a Witch releases a vast amount of energy, in violation of Thermodynamics. This is the motivation for Kyubey to create Magical Girls in the first place, to harvest energy to stave off the Heat Death of the universe. Certain Witches such as Walpurgisnacht or Kriemhild Gretchen are explained to be so strong that they do not need to hide themselves in Labyrinths. Ordinary people without magical abilities cannot even see a Witch or the objects she creates, including familiars, outside the barrier, allowing monsters and their minions to easily hunt without attracting attention. Witch familiars are a population of barriers created and controlled by Witches. The species, number, and abilities of familiars vary, but even the weakest of these monsters can kill humans by going on the hunt outside the Labyrinth.

First Form The Nutcracker Witch. Its nature is self-sufficiency. Its gallant form, which once split many nuts, is now useless. Without any other purpose, this witch's last wish is her own execution. However, a mere decapitation will not clear away the witch's sins. This foolish witch will forever remain in this realm, repeating the procession to her execution.

    Second Form The Nutcracker Witch. Her nature is self-sufficiency. Her teeth are showing, her skull is melted, and her eyeballs have fallen out! Say, even though we know it's really TRUE... she's got almost the whole source of darkness in her hands, and... well, wouldn't she be an attack to us?

    Minions Clara Dolls The children of the false city. They play the role of mourners. These dress-up dolls fake cry in order to liven up the funeral procession. The dolls present are Pride, Pessimism, Liar, Cold-Heartedness, Selfishness, Slander, Blockhead, Jealousy, Laziness, Vanity, Cowardice, Stupid-Looking, Inferiority, and Stubbornness, while the last one (Love) has yet to arrive. "The depths of this world, born of form and without void, are our stage," and their power is a match for Magical Girls.

    Lotte The Nutcracker Witch's servant. Its duty is to mete out punishment. These tin soldiers organize the procession for the witch sent to the guillotine. They execute fools and worrisome fools.

21. #21Zombie

    Keys: Body · Secondary: Soul Gem

    As the essence of a magical girl is transferred into her Soul Gem, her biological body is remotely controlled, becoming a mere tool, whose very life requires mandatory magical support. A Magical Girl is thus a zombie rather than a human, giving her a number of useful advantages for combat. Even having her heart ripped open and losing all her blood is not an irreparable problem. The need to breathe seems to disappear as well. The weakness, however, is that the body will turn into a breathless corpse if the distance between it and Soul Gem exceeds a 100 meters. A magical Girl's perception of pain is severely dulled, and can be completely negated if necessary.

The Nightmares are plushie-like creatures with small bodies and big heads, wide mouths spanning from their cheek to the back of their heads and their tongues protruding. They also have animal ears and slightly long arms. Since Hitomi's head can be roughly seen at the second Nightmare's death, it means that Nightmares actually have their civilian faces at the bottom of their heads. Those heads appear to be completely harmless as they appear to be idle. It is unknown if both Nightmare's share the exact same powers as one another, but both of their powers are themed after stuffed-objects. Fitting for their dream-themes. The first Nightmare has the power to shoot incredibly destructive pillows and teddy-bears that have been able to destroy entire buildings. The second Nightmare has the power to turn any object into a stuffed version of itself, then blow it up. The civilian identity of the first Nightmare is unknown. Aside from the two that appear in the beginning of the movie, two more appear briefly during Kyubey's explanation for Homura's circumstances and Devil Homura's transformation. Concept sheets for The Rebellion Story show an unused Homura Nightmare.

24. #24Tea Party

    Keys: Nightmares

    An absurd and surreal technique used to combat Nightmares. First the monster is corralled and caught, and then the Magical Girls drink tea, sing songs, and feed a Nightmare goodies until it turns into a big cake. The cake is devoured by Bebe, turning into a huge, cuddly monster.

    he Law of Cycles is a concept wished into existence by Madoka Kaname. It’s only directive in the universe is to erase Witches before they are born.

The Law of Cycles and Madoka Kaname together make up the existence known as Ultimate Madoka. hen Madoka is split from the Law of Cycles, what remains appears as Ultimate Madoka, but with her eyes faded out. It might not be wrong then to infer that the Law of Cycles is the physical body of Ultimate Madoka, while Madoka Kaname herself is more akin to the one piloting it. It appears that girls who were taken in by the Law of Cycles were allowed to overcome their grief, and can now harness it as their Witch Forms.

The skirt is dull, light purple with a white, ruffled trim. She also wears black tights with purple diamonds that line the sides of her legs and black heels. The coat appears to have a flower-like pattern with three "petals," and has a purple bow in the back with two long ribbons that end in half-diamond shapes with black, triangle-shaped designs lining the ends. As Devil Homura, her demon form, she wears a black dress that is longer in the back. The top of this dress is a heart-shaped plunging neckline, with the inside of the chest piece being sharp to mimic feathers. She has a similarly paired choker, with a bow-and-arrow shaped piece that lays flatly across her chest. Moving down to the bodice portion of the dress, the sides are cut to where only the middle portion of her torso is covered, while the rest, including the back, is fully revealed. The bottom points outwards to either side, the ends being feathers to match her "fallen angel" concept. The inside of the skirt resembles a universe, just as Madoka's. She also wears thigh-high socks that follow a diamond pattern, like the adornments on the stockings she wears as a magical girl. The outfit is complete with black flat shoes with an anklet piece attached, and full-length gloves that end with two strands. This form keeps the hair ribbon that Madoka gave her at the end of the series. Ever since her initial arrival at Mitakihara Middle School in the first episode, Homura is depicted as being very intelligent, athletic, distant, and cold. It is revealed in episode four that she ended up like this because she had seen so much suffering during her tenure as a Magical Girl. Because of this, she does not want Madoka Kaname to become a Magical Girl and exudes her best efforts in order to stop her from making a wish with Kyubey, going as far as to attempt to injure or kill the cat-like creature. Despite her cold attitude towards the others, she still very much cares for them, and especially Madoka, as it is her sole objective to protect her ever since she made her wish. In the original timeline where her journey began, however, Homura is portrayed, and is known around the school for her lack of confidence. She was also known for her physical incapability of performing in P.E. class; she would get dizzy upon doing even the simplest of warm-up exercises, likely because of her time spent in the hospital due of her heart condition. This ended up having the result of her being a target of bullying, as heard on Drama CD 1. Overwhelmed by her perceived uselessness, she begins questioning the worth of her existence as she wanders into a Witch labyrinth. As she is trembling at the hands of the familiars, Madoka saves her life, and she begins her fated friendship with her. Madoka, alongside Mami Tomoe, shows her the basics and dangers of becoming a Magical Girl, and notes that Madoka's attitude became much healthier with every Witch battle. Despite being regarded as emotionless by Sayaka Miki, Homura is shown to be capable of feeling and expressing emotion. Although she does not easily show signs of remorse, sadness, or pity, it is only because she had grown used to the suffering around her, and must put up a strong front to continue fighting for her goal. Homura herself has stated that she always feels badly with each life she's unable to save or alter, but nevertheless, it does not slow her down from staying true to her objective in saving Madoka Kaname. Homura's portrayal as a cold, antisocial, hardened Magical Girl who lacks empathy is actually not at all like the person she originally was. Homura had a heart disease which left her bedridden for a long time, likely leading to her becoming unsocialized. As is shown in episode 10, she initially transferred into Mitakihara Middle School as a timid, shy, and unsure girl before getting encouragement from the first person who reached out to her, Madoka Kaname, who also complimented her name, which she mentioned being self conscious about. After finding out Madoka was a magical girl after wandering into a barrier, along with meeting Mami Tomoe, she felt inspired by them and looked up to them after they saved her life. All is seemingly going well until Walpurgisnacht appears. Mami dies at the hands of the witch, and before Homura could get hurt, Madoka turns and goes to fight the witch by herself. Madoka ends up dying in front of Homura, and she cries over her body, and then makes her wish: "I want to redo my meeting with Miss Kaname. But this time, instead of her protecting me, I want to become strong enough to protect her (source: Netflix subs)," which granted her time powers, and she was immediately thrust back in time to her first day of school, in the beginning of the month.

    Timeline 2 Homura, now a Magical Girl, with newfound confidence and excitement, transfers into school all over again, walking straight up to Madoka after her name is written on the board and introducing herself as a Magical Girl, to the dismay of the class and the embarrassment of Madoka. After an indefinite amount of time, she meets up with Madoka and Mami again. With Madoka and Mami as her coaches, she begins training to use her time magic alongside close combat weaponry, and ends up constructing bombs to use as her offensive weapons. In this timeline, Homura fights her first Witch, and with Mami and Madoka's help, she's able to defeat it. This timeline ends when Madoka's soul gem becomes corrupted during the battle with Walpurgisnacht, and is about to become a Witch.

    Timeline 3 After coming to the realization that Kyubey is tricking everyone, she does her best to try to convince everyone of that truth, to which Sayaka, who had become a Magical Girl, doesn't believe her and presumes she's only trying to turn everyone against each other, and also adds that Homura would be useless to their team because bombs are the only offensive attack that she has. Following Sayaka's words, Homura steals firearms from a locker and is presumably accepted into their team. Once Sayaka became a Witch, Homura apologizes before using these firearms to defeat it. After the Witch battle is over, Mami shoots and breaks Kyoko's soul gem, before tying up Homura with ribbons and aiming her gun at her, in an attempt to "save" all of them by killing them all and herself so no one would suffer. Madoka shoots and breaks Mami's soul gem with an arrow before she can break Homura's soul gem, and then bursts into tears. Homura comforts her and assures her both of them can defeat Walpurgisnacht by themselves. This timeline ends when Madoka and Homura are lying together in the wreckage of Walpurgisnacht's destruction, defeated. Both of their soul gems are clouded. Homura doesn't have any Grief Seeds, but Madoka secretly had one saved, so she used it on Homura's soul gem suddenly, healing her. Madoka asks Homura to go back in time and save her and everyone else from making a contract with Kyubey. Homura agrees. She shoots and breaks Madoka's soul gem at Madoka's request, killing her, all while crying and wailing. It's at the reset of this timeline -- the fourth timeline -- where Homura gets rid of her glasses and braids and transforms herself into the Homura we see from then on.

    Series Timeline Homura is first seen in Episode 1 in Madoka's dream at the start of the series. She is in pain and struggling against Walpurgisnacht.

    Later on she is introduced as a transfer student at Madoka's school. She claims that her head is hurting, and asks to go to the nurse, knowing that Madoka is the nurse's aide. Homura is shown to lead Madoka to the nurse's office rather than Madoka leading her, which seems to put Madoka off, as she nervously shuffles with her hands and attempts to make conversation with the other girl. Homura suddenly turns on her heel and asks Madoka if she truly treasures everyone around her, and if she would ever give up the life that she had. Madoka replies that, no, she is happy with the way things are and loves everyone she knows.

    Homura then meets Madoka again later, after Madoka has been lead to Kyubey. Homura is seen trying to kill Kyubey. When Madoka saves Kyubey, Homura is displeased and tells Madoka that the situation is none of her business. Then, Sayaka shows up to save Madoka, spraying Homura with a fire extinguisher.

    Her shield, which is actually a sand timer has given her the ability to turn back time approximately going back one month ago. Her shield can also make projectile protections. Her shield can also be used as a storage device for her weapons which she takes from Japanese military bases. She can also stop time, but if she touches someone then this person won't be affected by her time magic. She can teleport.

    She attended a Catholic school in Tokyo prior to transferring in Mitakihara Middle School.

    Her weapons are shield, various military weapons and bow sometimes.

    Homura lives alone.

She also wears a pair of white gloves with pink trims around the wrists, white, knee-high stockings with frills just below the knee, and red, heeled shoes with ribbons tied behind them.

In one of her routes in Portable, she wishes: "If I make a contract with you, can Sayaka's body return to normal?" Her final wish: "I want to erase all witches before they are even born. I will erase every single witch in every universe, past and future with my own hands... I don't care what you call it. All those Magical Girls who held onto their hopes and fought against witches I don't want to see them cry. I want them to stay smiling until the end. If any rule or law stands in my way, I will destroy it. I will rewrite it. That is my prayer. That is my wish. Now grant it, Incubator!"

Her Soul Gem is embedded in her belly button and has a C-shape. 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 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. Being careless could sometimes make her forget things like her Soul Gem.

    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 cost.

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. 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 relationships exists in several timelines. Kyubey: Sayaka was protective of Kyubey at first because she didn't know Kyubey's actual nature.

    Keys: Tomoe, Mami, Mami Tomoe

    Mami Tomoe (巴マミ?) is one of the five main Magical Girls in Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica anime and manga series.

    Mami Tomoe has very curly blonde hair, usually in twin drills. She has yellow square-shaped eyes. When in her civilian form, Mami is seen mostly in her school uniform. As a Magical Girl, she has beige skirt with black tips, and her top is a short-sleeved white shirt with puffs and arm warmers. In between her skirt and her top, she has a brown corset-like clothing garment. She also has a small brown hat with white fur coming out of it, as well as gray and white striped leggings, and black and yellow, knee-high boots. Mami Tomoe appears to be a very kind, gentle, and cheerful girl. Though she reveals to Madoka Kaname that she is lonely and appears to be desperate for having teammates. Mami is very nice to everyone but she seems to dislike Homura Akemi. She takes pride in her actions and saving people due to mentoring other Magical Girls, since she has been fighting Witches for the longest of all. Mami was an only child who lived with her two parents before they were killed in a car crash. When she was seriously injured in the crash, Kyubey appeared before her and Mami wished to live. As a magical girl she longed to form a team with others like her, however it was hard to find people willing to partner with her. In the manga, The Different Story, it was revealed that she did meet Kyoko and they started to work together. After the death of her family, Kyoko's relationship with Mami turned bitter and they were no longer friends.

    Madoka Kaname: She meets Madoka upon saving Kyubey from Homura. They get along very well and Mami acts like a mentor to Madoka, who adores Mami's Magical Girl nature. They care for each other and are good friends or teammates. Sayaka Miki: She meets Sayaka upon saving Kyubey from Homura. They get along very well and Mami acts like a mentor to Sayaka, who adores Mami's Magical Girl nature and wishes to become like her someday. They care for each other and are very good friends, closer than Madoka or Kyoko is with Mami. Kyoko Sakura: Even though they were never seen interacting in the original anime series, Kyoko and Mami actually used to work together as Magical Girls. They meet through Kyoko chasing a Witch from Kazamino to Mitakihara. They were good friends but Mami was still acting like a mentor to her. Mami was actually the first friend Kyoko ever brought to her house. After Kyoko's family passed away, Kyoko also distanced herself from Mami and ended up fighting frequently. It was shown that Mami still cared for Kyoko even after their friendship partially ended. Homura Akemi: In the past timelines, Mami and Homura had a friendly relationship caring for each other and having each other's back. In later timelines however, Homura and Mami are rivals as Homura tried to kill Kyubey, who, was a dear friend of Mami when she was alive. The same is true with Bebe in The Rebellion Story. Nagisa Momoe: Mami and Nagisa have been really close ever since The Rebellion Story and they make a pretty good team.

    Family: Parents Mami lived with her parents in her apartment and happily with them. One day, the entire family was involved in a car accident and they died, but Mami survived roughly, before forming a contract with Kyubey. She misses them and ever since she lost them, she has been very distant from society and takes care of the house by herself.

    Abilities: She can summon several one-use guns through her hat or with her body. When she had transformed into Holy Mami, she had the ability to summon much more of the guns she uses. She can use restraint magic. Mami has a notable ability that helps her turn ordinary objects like baseball bats into weapons that are able to protect non-Magical Girls. With her ribbon, tied around her neck, she can cut things or to tie people up, either as a trap or to protect others. The ribbon can also become a giant gun. Similarly, she can use wider red ribbons to tie people exclusively, the ribbon will be tighter if the tied person doesn't listen to her.

    Her weapons are gun and ribbon.

42. #42Kyoko Sakura

    Keys: Kyoko, Kyoko Sakura, Sakura

    Kyoko Sakura (佐倉杏子?) is one of the five main Magical Girls in Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica anime and manga series. As a civilian, Kyoko has long, raspberry red hair which is always seen up in a high ponytail tied by a black ribbon. She has a set of risen bangs which frame her equally as her sharp red eyes. Her signature outfit consists of a black crop-top under a dark teal hoodie which is unzipped at the bottom, leaving her belly button exposed. She wears dark blue denim shorts with fur around the bottom edges and black below-the-knee boots. In The Rebellion Story, she is seen in her uniform as a civilian. As a Magical Girl, she wears a maroon dress with an opening for her soul gem and a mandarin collar attached to it. Her soul gem is at her upper chest. The borders of her dress are covered with thick white frills that cover the opening of her dress and the back. She wears white bicep length sleeves with black buttoned cuffs around her wrists. Underneath, she wears a pleated magenta skirt and a black corset with white detailing. She wears tall red boots with white cuffs and white symbols just underneath which match the opening on her top, and black thigh-high socks. Kyoko can be somewhat stubborn and she has a fiery/tomboy-ish personality. She can be self-centered when she wants to be, though this is just a facade she made to herself and to others. In reality, Kyoko is kind and sympathetic when she sees those who are close to her in trouble. After losing her entire family due to the wish she had made for her father, she promised to never sacrifice herself for others as she believes that it would only end in tragedy. It is thought that she was afraid of getting herself hurt again, as well as the people she cared for the most. After Kyoko's father lost supporters, she and her family almost starved, which is the reason she loves food so much and hates those who waste it. She also threatens to kill anyone who wastes food. Kyoko appeared to be very rude at first, and would often get into fights, almost killing Sayaka during a battle due to her own rage. However she proved she was actually someone with good intentions. Kyoko is initially threatening and vicious towards Sayaka, however this is later because Kyoko has made the same mistake Sayaka had made and is unable to watch her suffer any longer. Kyoko is very good at masking and internalizing her feelings to come off as a strong Magical Girl. She also sacrificed her life to kill Sayaka's Witch and make sure Sayaka is not alone. According to Sayaka, Kyoko has a child-ish taste when it comes to food. Kyoko's family used to be poor because no one would go to listen to her father's teachings at the church they owned. This was because of his 'radical' ideas on religion. Her wish was for people to listen to her father's teachings. However, this wish led to her downfall when her father learned of her magical girl activities. Believing his daughter to be a witch who sold her soul to the devil, he drank his worries away with alcohol. One day, he snapped and murdered Kyoko's mother and little sister (Momo) then proceeded to kill himself, leaving Kyoko as the sole survivor. Kyoko was also Mami Tomoe's magical girl apprentice at the time, as shown in "The Different Story" spin-off. They were a great team and friends that fought both familiars and witches, until the death of Kyoko's family. After the event, Kyoko decided that she and Mami should just go after witches and leave the familiars since it takes too much energy to kill them. (This decision was also brought on by the fact that she lost her enchantment magic and probably wouldn't be as strong as she was before and drag Mami down.) Due to Kyoko's sudden change in morals, her and Mami got into a fight that led them to break up their team and go their separate ways.

    Madoka: Madoka Kaname and Kyoko have a weird relationship, they seem to get along more than the others do with the latter, but they don't seem to agree on most things. While Kyoko likes to battle things out, Madoka talks things out, making them contradicting opposites.

    Mami: Mami Tomoe and Kyoko are seen to be very close in the "The Different Story" spin-off, but they then got into a fight which led to the breakdown of their team and their separation, although the conflict was never resolved (since Mami dies in the anime and Kyoko instead in "The Different Story"). Kyoko does seem to care a little about her old friend, as seen in "The Different Story", where she manages to conjure a grief seed optical illusion to convince Mami that she has recovered from their second fight, saving Mami from her fall of despair into Candeloro.

    Sayaka: These two fight a lot since they have completely different morals, ideologies and the ways of doing things, including their personalities. But they seem to resolve their broken relationship later after Homura Akemi and Madoka talked with them. In fact, later in the anime, Kyoko had sacrificed herself after her second encounter with Oktavia (Sayaka Miki's witch) in hopes of reviving her. Kyoko, as revealed in episode 9, liked Sayaka because she reminded her of why she became a magical girl: Kyoko loved stories where love and courage prevail. During The Rebellion movie, her and Sayaka express their regret at not becoming better friends in the show's main timeline, and later appear to become girlfriends at the end of the third movie.

    Homura: One way or another, these two are close behind their thick walls, with Homura being the first to actually talk some sense into Kyoko after their first actual conversation in the shows main timeline. Their closeness is also hinted upon in the Rebellion movie, where Homura reaches out to Kyoko for help first. Also, before fighting Homulilly, Kyoko gently caresses one of Homura's likeness dolls with a sad expression.

    Family: Father Her father who is a priest. He was operating at Sakura Church and was a cheerful and hopeful person who wished to change the world. He ended up killing his family after learning the truth about Kyoko's secret occupation as a Magical Girl. Mother Not much is known about her mother. She died because of her husband setting the house in fire. She is a caring mother as she didn't want to show her pain and abuse she was receiving from her husband after he learned the truth about Kyoko being a Magical Girl. Momo Sakura Kyoko's older sister. They get along together and they care for each other. Kyoko became a Magical Girl for her father's sake but Momo died because of Kyoko's wish.

    Abilities: Prior to the series' events, Kyoko had an illusory powers, used mostly to distract Witches. After losing her family and friendship with Mami, she no longer possess that ability. Her spear can become a chain which she can use to tie people up. She can create walls from red diamonds which are formed like a lattice.

    She is almost always seen eating something. This leads to a lot of close-ups of her mouth. She can't swim. She likes sweets things and arcade dance games. She hates crowded places. She isn't from Mitakihara, but instead from the neighboring city, Kazamino. She doesn't attend a school. Not until The Rebellion Story. Her main outfit consists of a casual outfit, instead of her school uniform. This can be explained by the fact that she has pointed out that she doesn't attend school.

    Her weapon is spear.

They tried using money to buy her happiness, so she became especially lonely when her friends left her. She is seen with Sayaka Miki and Madoka Kaname in the first episode while walking to school. Then after school, the two sit in a cafeteria and chat about their day and the new student, Homura Akemi, before leaving to attend her first piano lesson. Hitomi and her friends walk together for school. On their way, Hitomi notices that Madoka and Sayaka have grown significantly closer, wondering what happened overnight. Then, she concludes that Madoka and Sayaka are in love. Later, Madoka and Sayaka catch up with her at class and apologize. Hitomi leaves without them after the day has ended. Madoka spots her walking along with lots of other people, infected by a Witch´s kiss. Madoka stops her and the others from creating a chemical reaction that would kill all of them. She later confesses to Sayaka that she has a crush on Kyosuke, and gives her time to confess. However, she chooses not to, so Hitomi confesses her love to Kyosuke. This was a major factor in turning Sayaka into a Witch, but she is completely unaware of that fact. She believes Sayaka commited suicide due to her and Kyosuke's late romantic relationship. She is seen mourning at Sayaka's funeral. In the first two timelines, she makes a cameo appearance during Homura's introduction at school. In The Rebellion Story, Hitomi becomes a Nightmare, because she started seeing Kyosuke very rarely. Thankfully, she is saved by Holy Quintet. Later, it is revealed that she is among the few real humans trapped in Homulilly's Labyrinth, though she is freed afterwards.

    Madoka Kaname: Her childhood friend and classmate. Evidently, Madoka cares a lot for Hitomi and prevents her from finding out about the Magical Girls system. Sayaka Miki: Her childhood friend and classmate who she can understand. Sayaka cares a lot for Hitomi and prevents her from finding out about the Magical Girls system even though she can also be antagonistic towards her, especially when romance is the point of antagonism. Hitomi has shown that she cares for Sayaka and would put her friendship with her over a boy she likes. Homura Akemi: Although the two were never shown having any interaction in the original series, in other timelines like those of Portable or Oriko☆Magica, Hitomi and Homura share a friendly bond and Homura is always there for Hitomi when she fights with Sayaka, showing that they have great respect for each other. Kyosuke Kamijo: Her friend and classmate. She is later revealed to have a crush on him and got together after she confessed him. However, their relationship could be considered weak as Kyosuke in The Rebellion Story doesn't seem to priorize Hitomi over his violin lessons and such.

    She takes Piano, classical Japanese dance and tea ceremony lessons, all decided by her mother.

44. #44Kyousuke Kamijo

    Keys: Kyousuke, Kyousuke Kamijo, Kamijo

    Kyosuke Kamijo is a supporting character in Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica anime and manga series. He's a violinist who got involved in an accident and became unable to play the violin. Kyosuke has short gray hair and eyes. He is tall and is mostly seen in his hospital uniform and later in his school uniform. Kyosuke is mentioned for the first time, when Madoka asks Sayaka if he's the reason Sayaka wants to visit the CD store. He is shown bedridden in the hospital when Sayaka comments that there must be many who would trade their souls for a wish and that life has been too easy for her. He makes his first major appearance. At the start of the episode, Sayaka gives Kyosuke a CD by Dawd Ostrakh (a reference to David Oistrakh), and they share her headphones and listen to Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise" together. Kyosuke fingers the notes as he listens and then he cries. Later, Sayaka tries to visit him but is turned away; the explanation given by Kyosuke's family is that he isn't in good shape. Sayaka visits him in the hospital and brings him a CD to listen to, but he accuses her of mocking his inability to play the violin anymore. He reveals that the current state of medicine is incapable of healing his left hand, saying that it would take a miracle or magic for him to play again. It is revealed at the end of the episode that Sayaka used her wish to heal his left hand, in exchange becoming a Magical Girl for Kyubey. Sayaka has prepared a surprise for him. He gets him to the roof of the hospital to meet his parents and some of the hospital's stuff and regains the ability to play the violin after Sayaka's wish repaired his hand. She claims it to be the happiest moment of her life. Sayaka goes to visit him at the hospital, but is informed that he was discharged and didn't inform Sayaka. She goes to visit him at his house and she hears him practicing his violin. She is about to enter when she is confronted by Kyoko who criticizes her for making a selfless wish for his sake and speculate that she should've crippled him futher. Kyosuke returns to school, but still needs crutches. Sayaka wants to talk to him, but doesn't have the mental courage, as she sees herself as a "zombie". Hitomi speaks to Kyosuke. It's still not known what she exactly told him. The manga adaption expands the scene by showing them holding hands. Kyosuke is briefly seen at Sayaka's funeral next to Hitomi, who is mourning over her death. In the new timeline, created by Ultimate Madoka, Kyosuke appears while Sayaka and Madoka's souls watch over him (and Hitomi waits for him at the side) as he performs during an audition. As he plays Gounod's "Ave Maria", Sayaka and Madoka talk things over one last time, and are able to pass on. Later, Kyosuke performs as a professional, and once he finishes his recital he whispers Sayaka's name, remembering his days with her at the hospital. In The Rebellion Story, Kyosuke is still in a relationship with Hitomi, although his music practice is causing difficulties to their relationship, at least from Hitomi's perspective. At the end of the movie, he's revealed to have been one of the few real humans trapped in Homulilly's Labyrinth.

    Sayaka Miki: His childhood friend. Kyosuke sees her as a close friend and never realized that she had feelings for him. He is sometimes aggressive towards her but apologizes whenever he realizes he is rude to her. Despite that, he cares for her. Hitomi Shizuki: A friend of his. Hitomi also has a crush on him and it was later revealed that he also likes her. Then, they started a happy relationship even though it slightly broke apart in The Rebellion Story.

    Parents: Sayaka has a chat with his parents before their major apearance, during his dischargement from the hospital. Kyosuke asked his father to throw away his violin, but his father didn't want to and returned it to him.

45. #45Kyubey

    Keys: incubator, Kyubey, the incubator

    Kyubey, also known as the Messenger of Magic is a cat-like creature featured in Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica anime and manga series as well as several subsequent works. Kyubey is a small, cat-like creature. It has white fur and four ears, one pair representing the average cat and the other similar to those of a rabbit's. It has red eyes and golden rings around its long ears. At the bottom of the ears, it appears that it is separated into three, along with a pink-white fade and three red ovals. These ears seem to be what turns the girls into Magical Girls, as seen when it makes Sayaka Miki's Soul Gem. It has a large tail and pointy ears, the inside of them being pinkish peach color. On its back is a hot pink egg-shaped oval that can flip open to remove Grief Seed fragments. Despite appearing and sounding somewhat human, Kyubey is an Incubator and has no personal understanding of human emotion. Despite appearing as an individual, Kyubey and the rest of the Incubators do not seem to have a distinct sense of self. On the occasions where a Kyubey is killed, another will step out and continue to converse as if nothing had occurred. The Incubators are an emotionless race, but seek to exploit the thermodynamics-violating emotions of the human race to produce energy and prevent the Heat Death of the Universe, the ultimate end of the universe itself. The fact that the system they use to harvest this power-- Magical girls and Witches-- would be considered horrendously evil by humans is inconsequential to the Incubators. They choose this method because it is the most expedient to their goals. No action they take is ultimately malicious, as they do not themselves experience or understand the emotions required to act in such a way. Everything about Kyubey, however, is implied to make it as appealing as possible to the Magical Girls, as well as emulating behaviors and 'emotions' for the same purpose. This lack of understanding ultimately results in Kyubey being unable to predict or understand the actions of the Magical Girls or the results of those actions, despite them being obvious to the girls themselves. Kyubey is a creature who makes contracts with young girls to turn them into "magical girls" so that they can fight witches. In this process, the girl makes a wish and Kyubey grants it, but in return, the girl's soul is put in a small gem, which is also the source of their magic. If destroyed, the magic will disappear and the girl will die. If it is corrupted with darkness from grief, the gem will turn into a grief seed and the girl will turn into a witch. This is the ultimate fate of all Magical girls. Much like the rest of its race, Kyubey does not possess any human emotion. As seen in a later episode, Kyubey refers to magical girls' bodies as empty shells while explaining why Sayaka "died" when separated from her soul gem. This may also be why Homura Akemi got angry when Madoka Kaname threw it. Kyoko Sakura claims that it tricked and turned them into zombies, though it wasn't its intention. It believed that it was doing a good thing, seeing as it was convenient that they were invincible. Despite its emotionless attitude, it apparently likes hot baths and human food. It is also able to bleed, though it can reproduce its body and eat the old one. This body reproduction ability can be used whenever Kyubey's body is too damaged to be used or simply at an inconvenient state. (For example, is shown covered in bullet holes from being shot at.) It has an unlimited amount of these extra "bodies" that could be used, but it says that it would be more convenient to not use them so much.

    Madoka Kaname: Madoka and Kyubey used to share a bond because Kyubey always saw a great potential in Madoka and wanted to make her a Magical Girl. As the story was unfolding, she hated him more and more even when she made the contract to become Ultimate Madoka. Sayaka Miki: Sayaka is very protective of Kyubey in the beginning and likes him a lot. However, after finding the truth about Soul Gems, Sayaka starts being aggressive towards him and has even come to a point to stab him. Mami Tomoe: Mami is very good friends with Kyubey, at least in most timelines as long as she doesn't know the dark secrets of being a Magical Girl. She takes good care of Kyubey and is very protective of him towards Homura. Homura Akemi: Homura dislikes Kyubey to no end. No matter the timeline, she will always attempt to kill him and prevent Kyubey to form contacts with Madoka and to a lesser degree with Sayaka. Kyubey usually comes to Homura whenever there is something new he has discovered or wants to talk to someone aside of Madoka.

    Kyubey is the one who gives birth to Soul Gems and Magical Girls. Once a girl makes a contract with Kyubey, the Soul Gem will be summoned. Kyubey can use telepathy to contact Magical Girls or girls Kyubey sees potential in. The teadrop-like on Kyubey's back is actually a hole that they can open with it to eat Grief Seeds to prevent the hatch of Witches. Kyubey can cause pain to Magical Girls simply by touching their Soul Gems. Once Kyubey is killed, a replacement by another Incubator of type will occur. Kyubey can teleport. Kyubey is shown to be capable of showing other Magical Girls the past of a Magical Girl or even the world's history. Kyubey also has a large memory that allows him to keep records of the last time any Magical Girl ever defeated a Witch or even a Familiar. Kyubey is fond of human food and hot baths.

    It is Homura's personality before she became a magical girl. She wore red spectacles accompanied by two interlaces of braided hair with purple bows. In those days she was kinder, shyer and weaker, both mentally and physically.
