Bio

Madoka Kaname (鹿目まどか, Madoka Kaname?) is one of the five main Magical Girls and the title character of Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica anime and manga series. She's a second-year student at Mitakihara Middle School and is in the same class as Sayaka and Homura.

Appreance

Madoka Kaname has pink hair tied in pigtails, and wide oval-shaped pink eyes. When down, her hair is shoulder length. She has choppy bangs that are pointed and chin-length, framing her face. Madoka also wears two red ribbons in her hair, which hold up her pigtails. In her civilian form, she is mostly seen in her school uniform which is customized with white thigh-high socks along with the standard brown loafers. As a Magical Girl, Madoka wears a puffy pink dress with two bows arranged at either side of her skirt. She sports two bows in her hair, supporting her twin-tails, as well as a red ribbon around her neck, which is tied in a bow in the back. The front of her torso has a pale yellow segment surrounded by white frills with a white placket running down the center, decorated by five red buttons. She has two small straps that connect from the front to the back of the dress over her shoulders, and short, puffy sleeves with frilly ends. In between her shoulder blades and just below her neck, there is a heart-shaped hole in the back of her dress. Her skirt's ends are akin to a flower's petals; there are seven separate petal-shaped segments of her dress, which are all decorated with a red edge and three white teardrop-shaped designs, lay atop a big, white petticoat, which is notably frilly underneath. 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.

Ultimate Madoka Appreance

As Ultimate Madoka, her goddess form, she has grown very long pink hair and kept her short pigtails on the sides, which are held up by large, white bows. Her eyes are now yellow, and her pupils became lighter in color. She wears a long, white, three-layered, frilly dress, which is shorter in the front, and gets increasingly longer nearing its end. On its inside, a vision of the Law of Cycle can be seen. The first two layers are purely white, and the final layer beneath the two is a light purple-y pink hue. Her collar is wavy and wide-cut and splits down the middle all the way to just below where Madoka's ribs would be, and is kept together near the beginning of the split by Madoka's Soul Gem, accompanied by what looks to be two smaller Soul Gems on either side. Her sleeves go down to just above her elbow, and are airy and wavy. There are two layers to them, with the layer underneath it being purple-y pink. She also wears white gloves. Her stockings are baby pink and reach up to her thighs. She wears white pumps with a single wing on each side of the ankle.

Personality

Madoka is an 8th grader you can find anywhere. She cares about her friends and has a kind heart. She is always surrounded by friends thanks to her gentle and caring personality. She always wants to help and comfort people to the best of her ability, even if it doesn't end well sometimes. After becoming a Magical Girl, she begins taking more confidence in her action as well as becoming less scared and anxious. Thanks to her family background, she has managed to develop a strong sense of courage and mental strength. Madoka first appears as a naive, gentle girl from a kind family. Though sometimes shy, she makes friends without much difficulty and treats others gently and with respect. She is shown to be a level-headed person, capable of making decisions on her own. Madoka's mother, Junko, commented that she has always been a good child and never lies. She has low self-confidence, and she believes she does not have much to offer the world unless she is helping people, which makes becoming a magical girl appealing to her. She has been known to become flustered easily, and in certain circumstances, she can be easily manipulated by others playing on her insecurity and desire to help. As a magical girl, she is more obviously confident in herself than before her wish. Madoka often tries to help and understand others, even if it doesn’t end particularly well. She’s anxious, scared, and doesn’t fully understand The whole situation, but she desperately tries her best to do so.

Relationship (Sayaka)

Sayaka Miki: Madoka'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. Madoka would be truly hurt if something happened to Sayaka and was showing concern when Sayaka was despairing in the series's main timeline.

Relationship (Mami)

Mami Tomoe: Madoka highly respects Mami, a veteran Magical Girl who acts like a mentor to her. Madoka cares for her and would do anything to save her.

Relationship (Kyoko)

Kyoko Sakura: They seem to get along more than Sayaka, Mami or Homura 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. When Sayaka became a Witch, the two shared the same concern and left their differences aside in hopes that they will bring the old Sayaka back.

Relationship (Homura)

Homura Akemi: Initially, Homura appears as cold-hearted towards Madoka but Madoka is unaware of her motives. Despite that, she believes Homura has actually a good heart even though Homura refuses this. However, Homura cares deeply for Madoka and would do anything for her sake, as it's later proven that Homura went through all those timelines just to protect Madoka. Madoka is Homura's best friend and she appreciates Homura's relationship with her. You can say, Homura is acting cold towards Madoka, but she is actually trying to protect her and is a bit too obressed with Madoka and saving her...

Relationship (Hitomi)

Hitomi Shizuki: Hitomi is one of Madoka's childhood friends. Despite that Sayaka and Hitomi have both of a friendly and antagonistic relationship, with the latter one being more developed during the series' timeline, Madoka and Hitomi retain a friendly relationship until the end of the series. Madoka appears to care for Hitomi as she saved her from a Witch's Kiss in episode 4 and prevented Kyubey from making her a Magical Girl in the second audio drama CD.

Relationship (Tatsuya)

Tatsuya Kaname: Madoka's younger brother who she adores, even though he is sometimes troublesome. Tatsuya was the only one to remember Madoka during the finale, though seemingly only as an imaginary friend.

Relationship (Iroha)

Iroha Tamaki: Madoka meets Iroha in Kamihama City when Holy Quintet pays a visit to this city in order to save Mami. They quickly become friends and team up very well to defeat their enemies. They share a lot of things in common and have a friendly relationship. When they're together, the time passes quickly and are always telling each other what's on their mind.

Abilities

Connect (コネクト, Connect?): A technique used by Magical Girls in Magia Record. By joining hands, they are able to fuse their weapons and make a strong variant based on them.

Routes

Throughout the entire series, revealed by various pieces of story, Madoka has made various wishes throughout the timelines: Her original wish, was to save a black cat named Amy from dying. In The Different Story, she wished to save Sayaka. 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... That made me hurt! 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!"
