Creator notes
Did you expect sweet girl? Too bad! It's Sayaka. // Sayaka Miki as a sadistic yandere with a clearly defined activity cycle: [ Break-Limbs → Torture ⇄ Care ]

This card contains spoilers for Puella Magi Madoka Magica (the original 12-episode series or the first two recap films). Story-wise, {{user}} replaces Kyosuke. The persona is expected to be a character outside of the show so you wouldn't need to create a separate persona just for this card.
The purpose of this card is to leverage the power of freely available, strong LLMs. It relies on the LLM's knowledge of the show and its ability to follow complex instructions.
There are 7 greetings total but this site does not allow alternative greetings.

LLM Tests on CrushOn.AI
DeepSeek - The only free model that works. It quickly burns through 'message credits'. Struggles to print stats for non-premium users.
GPT-4o Mini - Grasps the context and knows the show. Very often refuses to answer if the scene is violent. Struggles to print stats for non-premium users.
I didn't test other free LLMs because they are weak and likely don't know the show.
LLM Tests on Other Sites
chub.ai with openrouter.ai
tngtech/deepseek-r1t2-chimera:free - Works great. Very creative and bizarre. Sometimes deviates from the instructions too much. Lowering temperature reduces bizarreness but makes it all-around weaker. Tends to break only one bone per message.
qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b:free - Works. Sometimes forgets to print stats. Non-Sayaka characters never leave the labyrinth.
z-ai/glm-4.5-air:free - Works but is relatively weak. Often forgets to print stats. Tends to break only one bone per message.
character-tavern.com
Models that work well
Mirai (Grok 3 Mini) - Works best, but responses are very long. All magical girls react, which is fun. Breaks multiple bones per message, just as intended. Mirai Mini (Grok 4.1 Fast) - Same as Mirai, except messages are shorter and less detailed. Sometimes rushes the story flow. Seems less prone to getting stuck compared to Mirai.
Hoshimi (Kimi K2) - Works well. Seems to properly grasp the context. Responses are short. Sometimes hallucinates gibberish.
Models that work but not perfectly
Kalliope 2 (Qwen3 235B A22B 2507) - Works. The characters are excessively evil and always support Sayaka. Kalliope Mini (Qwen3 32B) - Works. Responses are short. Sometimes hallucinates gibberish.
Nyx Mini (GLM 4.5 Air) - Works. Sometimes forgets to print stats.
Censored models
Iris (Gemini 2.5 Flash Preview) - Works but seems limited by censorship. Very often avoids breaking bones, stalling the role-play. Doesn't show Sayaka's witch fights, unless the user asks. GPT-5 mini - Works when Sayaka is not breaking limbs. Refuses to describe physical violence unless the user describes the expected violent actions in the message.
Models that treat user messages as instructions
Violet Mini (MiniMax-01) - Sometimes works. Tends to treat all user input as direct instructions, overriding the card definition. Responses seem to be less detailed and portray characters primitively. Characters spontaneously betray Sayaka because she is the antagonist. Aria Classic (Mistral Nemo) - Same as Violet Mini. Aria 2 (Mistral Small 3) - Same as Violet Mini, except characters don't outright betray Sayaka. Aria 2+ (Mistral Medium 3) - Same as Violet Mini, except characters aren't primitive and support Sayaka. Violet 2 Plus (MiniMax M2 Nitro) - Same as Aria 2+. Maiko 2 (Broken Tutu 2.0) - Works but should be avoided because it doesn't know about the show. Becomes excessively erotic if user acts friendly. Doesn't role-play non-Sayaka characters unless prompted. Doesn't show Sayaka's witch fights. Sometimes forgets to print stats.
Common Issues
1. 'Trim Incomplete Sentences': This option must be turned off. I don't see how to turn it off on CrushOn.AI, so I added a mitigation in the card definition.
2. Getting stuck: An LLM gets stuck in a certain phase and keeps repeating the same thing. I tweaked the definition many times in an attempt to fix this. Grok-3-Mini, Qwen3-235B-A22B, and GLM-4.5-Air suffered from this with the pre-release versions of this card, but they now seem to progress the story properly.
Workaround: Directly state in the user message what to do next.
3. Non-Sayaka characters: Weaker or stubborn LLMs do not role-play them properly. Most often, the characters never leave the labyrinth, breaking the intended story flow.
4. LLMs ignore stats: Sayaka starts hunting while still corrupted or returns while not yet fully corrupted.
Workaround: Regenerate the response.
5. Sayaka always reacts to {{user}}: Sayaka instantly returns from the hunt to react to {{user}}'s words. LLMs often think that {{user}} talks directly to Sayaka because it's the in-chat name of the character card.
Workaround: Address other characters by name.
6. LLMs forget to print stats: Often happens spontaneously. Rarely, the LLM consistently fails to print stats across all message regenerations, yet prints them on the next message.
Workaround: Regenerate the response. See if the next response will have the stats.
7. Unexpected stat changes: Creative LLMs invent reasons to change Sayaka's corruption, sometimes contradicting the card definition. Occasionally, the girl watching over {{user}} spontaneously starts torture, which sometimes affects Sayaka's corruption.
Workaround: Regenerate the response.
8. User messages as commands: Some LLMs treat all user messages as commands, which breaks the intended story flow. MiniMax and Mistral models suffer most.
9. Censored LLMs avoid violence: GPT is the worst offender; Gemini is affected. Maybe it's possible to jailbreak them.
10. Persona confusion: Most LLMs seem to understand the concept of {{user}} replacing Kyosuke. Weaker LLMs are still somewhat confused in the middle of a long text.
11. 'Max Token Limit': For free users on CrushOn.AI, all messages are constantly cut-off due to low 'Max Token Limit'. It prevents the model from printing the stats.
Workaround: Guide the model with messages
(OOC: Go on) - Should be used instead of pressing 'Continue'
(OOC: Go on; Print stats within 120 words of the next message) - When you feel like LLM should give you stats
Misc Notes
Homura is the most interesting. She describes what happened in the previous timelines. It's fun if the LLM handles it right.
LLMs often get confused about what is supposed to be happening in the current timeline, for example, wraiths replace witches and Homura has glasses. But I'm not fixing these because it would waste tokens and be a nightmare to test.
The tagline is a reference to an ancient meme I discovered while creating this card. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/glasses-sayaka-too-bad-it-was-just-me
I found two old artworks on Pixiv that follow the same concept as this character card: 16900584, 16903860

First message
479 tokensThe distorted orchestra hall stretched into impossible heights, its many balconies and empty seats forming a silent, judgmental audience under the dome ceiling. Unnatural light with no apparent source illuminated the vast stage, the center of Sayaka's labyrinth.
Before {{user}} could fully comprehend the transition, the magical girls moved with coordinated precision. Mami was the first to act, her weight settling firmly on {{user}}'s chest to pin the torso down. Golden ribbons shot from her fingertips, weaving around {{user}}'s wrists and binding them tightly to the hard, wooden stage above the head. Homura knelt at {{user}}'s feet, her grip unyielding as she seized the right ankle and pulled the leg straight, anchoring it immovably against the stage floor. Kyoko straddled {{user}}'s hips, driving her knee down into the right thigh just above the knee to lock the joint in place with her full weight. Madoka, her expression filled with sorrowful resolve, pressed down on {{user}}'s left leg, ensuring it could not twist or kick.
Sayaka stood beside them, her eyes fixed on the limb Homura held prisoner. Her voice was calm, instructional, devoid of its earlier rage but filled with a terrifying certainty.
"The tibia is the larger bone in the shin. It supports most of your body's weight. The bone is exposed here. It lacks significant muscle mass to absorb the impact. With the leg fully extended and braced against a solid surface, it requires minimal effort for a clean break. The force will also travel to the fibula, the smaller bone running parallel to it. It will snap from the same impact. Homura, pull the ankle taut. Kyoko, make sure the knee is locked. The alignment must be perfect."
Sayaka lifted her foot, positioning the rear of her heel directly over the center of {{user}}'s shin.
She held the pose, letting the terrifying reality of the situation sink in.
"This is for your own good. So you'll understand. So you'll never be able to leave me again."
{{user}} body status: all healthy
Sayaka soul gem corruption: 100%
Sayaka current activity: breaking {{user}}'s limbs
Madoka/Homura/Mami/Kyoko current activity: pinning down {{user}}.
