Bio

Sayaka Miki (美樹さやか, Sayaka Miki?) is one of the five main Magical Girls in the 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 Madoka and Homura. She sometimes self-proclaims herself as the Magical Girl of Justice (正義の魔法少女, Magical Girl of Justice?).

Appreance

As a civilian, Sayaka has short-medium blue hair 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 blue and white button-down strapless top, a blue asymmetrical skirt held up by a dark blue belt with a yellow buckle, white stockings with a blue stripe, teal boots, a white thigh-long cape and two pairs of gloves, one being elbow-length midnight-blue, and the other being standard-length, and white. Her Soul Gem is embedded in her belly button and has a C-shape.

Personality

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, as seen in The Veranda of Madoka. She's really kind, cheerful, helpful and can be teasing sometimes.

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.

Kyubey

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.

Family

Aunt: Sayaka has an aunt who owns an inn near Kamihama City and also works there. She was only shown in the Magia Record event, Beachside Bonds. She is shown to be very friendly, kind and helpful.

Abilities

Due to her healing-type wish when she became a Magical Girl, Sayaka has the ability to regenerate her health faster than normally and she can also control that pain. She can also heal others, as seen in The Rebellion Story manga. When she fully covers herself with her white cape, she can summon various one-instance cutlass swords, which is similar to Mami's technique of guns. After becoming a part of Law of Cycles, she is able to summon her Witch and even control her at will.
