'''Clarisse van Rossum''' is one of the oldest, if not ''the'' oldest [[Magical Girl]] alive. Being born sometime in the 19th century (in the Netherlands, if her name is any indication) by now she's one of the few, if not the only, person past 500 years of age. She usually appears to be around 30 years old, though. Her hair is wavy and her face is freckled.

Van Rossum's chosen vocation is historian, with her wish implied to be in the line of "witness historical events". In this vein the extent of her power waxes and wanes with (physical and temporal) proximity to historical events. Furthermore it gives her a feeling as to where something significant will happen, or at least where she ought to be to witness it. As many other ancients she has spent time to expand her magical repertoire as well, giving her the ability of, among others, short range teleportation and telekinesis. These are coupled with the aforementioned proximity to events, though, making some only on the cusp of these historical happenstances available.

Furthermore van Rossum's power includes the ability to record powers and memories of willing or dead persons in a book, which she can call upon in certain cases and places, making her on those occasions a metaphorical Swiss Army Knife of Terror if she so desires.

Van Rossum is a prominent member of the [[Cult of Hope]]. Not only does she serve on the Theological Council, but she has personally received multiple visions from [[Kaname Madoka|the Goddess]].

Sakura Kyouko

'''Sakura Kyouko''' (佐倉杏子 ''Sakura Kyouko'') is one of the [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Sakura_Kyouko original protagonists from Puella Magi Madoka Magica]. In [[To the Stars]], she has appeared primarily in her role as the visionary founder of the [[Cult of Hope]] and mentor to [[Shizuki Ryouko]].

==Story==
Kyouko is responsible for most of Ryouko's pre-deployment training and orientation, although usually acting indirectly through her subordinates, [[Patricia von Rohr]] and [[Shirou Asaka]]. Despite this, she is present at the discovery of the [[Supersaturated Grief Cubes]] apparently responsible for the demon attack on Ryouko and [[Simona del Mago]], and at Ryouko's departure from [[Mitakihara City]]. Kyouko is also present at numerous meetings with [[Tomoe Mami]] and [[Chitose Yuma]] to discuss the numerous mysterious circumstances surrounding Ryouko's contracting, as well the [[Grief Cube Discrepancy]]. Several significant flashbacks are seen from her viewpoint.

Kyouko is also involved in a significant subplot regarding her year-long relationship with [[Kishida Maki]]. Maki's realization that her resemblance to the dead [[Miki Sayaka]] served as a significant reason for Kyouko forming the relationship causes her to confront Kyouko, asking that she tell her the truth about their relationship. After a stormy argument, Kyouko tells Maki to leave, claiming that their relationship was nothing more than a fling.

==Background==
===Death of her Family===
The daughter of a minister, Kyouko spent a significant portion of her childhood in hunger due to her father's decision to preach outside the doctrine, resulting excommunication from his church, and loss of financial support. Outraged that her father's seemingly reasonable preachings were being completely ignored, Kyouko wished that people would listen. Her wish resulted in a flood of new followers, allowing her family to maintain a stable living for the first time in a long time. It was during this period that she first met Mami, and the two of them decided to work together to fight [[Demon]]s. Notably, while this decision would have been anomalous in the [[Old World]], it was prefectly reasonable in the [[New World]], where they were surrounded by similar magical girl teams.

Unfortunately, Kyouko'a father's discovery of her daughter's new power and form proved too much for him, spending him into a spiral of depression believing that her daughter had sold her soul to the devil. Eventually, this leads him to kill himself, his wife, and Kyouko's younger sister in a murder-suicide. With Mami's support, Kyouko is able to survive the incident, but the loss of her family deeply scars her, causing her to temporarily lose her primary power, and eventually to leave Mami, on the grounds that their ideologies no long match but also, secretly, because she fears being a burden on Mami.

===Reconciliation with Mami===
Over a year later, Kyouko finds herself compelled to intervene when Mami loses control of her rage against [[Mikuni Oriko]] and [[Kure Kirika]] for destroying her home in a spate of vandalism, simultaneously defending Mami and dragging her out of the area to calm down, before providing Mami with the [[Grief Cube]]s necessary to recover. Thought Kyouko leaves soon afterward, the event proves an important moment for the two of them, as Mami, her faith restored in Kyouko, renews attempts to convince Kyouko to team up again. Kyouko, under heavy pressure from attacks by the new [[Southern Group]], finds herself cooperating with Mami more and more frequently, as a matter of survival, in addition to helping Mami to rebuild her home. Finally, Kyouko concedes to the inevitable, moving back in with Mami and even attending school again.

Soon afterward, the two of them rescue an uncontracted [[Akemi Homura]] from an attack by demons, and acquire a third member.

===Sayaka===
The contracting of Sayaka proves to be a defining moment in Kyouko's life. While originally disdainful of Sayaka's naivety and stubbornness, she eventually comes to recognize and admire Sayaka's similarity to her own younger self, driving her to try to protect the girl. Her realization and actions come too late, as Sayaka emotionally self-destructs, exhausting her soul gem exerting excessive power against a group of demons. Only after Sayaka's death does Kyouko come to understand the regret that overcomes her, a regret at lost love. It is heavily implied that Kyouko's experiences lead her to later seek comfort in a long series of shallow, physical relationships.

===MSY===
A member of the [[Mitakihara Four]], Kyouko serves as one of the founders of the [[MSY]] and plays a significant role in its early formation, serving in a variety of positions, including Director of the Logistics and Grief Cubes Division. She also served at least one stint as Chairman and CEO of [[D&E Corporation]], in the alias "Fukuzawa Anko". (Anko is an alternate pronunciation of the characters of her personal name)

While an important member of the organization, Kyouko did not serve as prominent a role as the other members of the Mitakihara Four, serving more quietly as the head of less prominent divisions.

===Cult of Hope===
Kyouko is present at the [[Battle of Epsilon Eridani]], witnessing Homura's seemingly miraculous saving of the planet. This causes her to deeply reconsider Homura's statements about the [[Goddess]]. After thinking about it for a year, she gives a fiery speech on the anniversary of the battle, declaring both her belief in the Goddess's existence and the need for a magical girl religion. She is able to acquire prominent followers with stunning speed, and the new Cult of Hope, a church organized with her as the leader, quickly becomes a significant force in MSY affairs. Setting aside the majority of the her other duties, Kyouko devoted herself to her new church full-time.

==Character==
The time she spent living on the streets on her own strongly influenced her personality and behavior, at least outwardly, and among friends she is usually brash, direct, and blunt-mannered. While the passage of time has allowed her to pick up numerous other personas, depending on situation, this still serves as her default set of behavior, though she does tone it down significantly for her duties as leader of the Cult.

Despite her exterior, she possesses as a strong, if specific, set of morals. This does not stop her seducing and bedding a long chain of female lovers, which is likely an aftereffect of her previous love for Sayaka. The topic is still a deep source of pain for her, and Maki's attempts to question her on the matter lead Kyouko to end the relationship.

Kyouko is almost always seem eating or carrying a food item, an aftereffect of her childhood spent without food. She views and treats Yuma as a little sister.

'''Miroko Mikuru''' was part of the [[Southern Group]] led by [[Mikuni Oriko]].

She only later joined Oriko and [[Kure Kirika|Kirika]] about the same time [[Hinata Aina]] did.

She was a victim of rape, which may have led to her functional insanity as well as her mad telepathic mutterings to herself. Following her contract she took vengeance upon her perpetrators and soon other criminals. With the formation of the Southern Group her murderous focus shifted towards magical girls.

On of her favoured phrases was "fresh meat" for new magical girls.

She died moments after [[Hinata Aina]] in the large demon attack that nearly wiped out the Southern Group.

'''Hinata Aina''', also known as '''Hinata the Scarlet''' and '''Hinata the Insane''', was a member of the [[Southern Group]] and as such hunted both demons and fellow magical girls—with only very few exceptions—indiscriminately. Taking manic glee in destruction and violence, she followed a philosophy of "cleansing by fire", though it is questionable in how far this view was merely a justification for her morally skewed actions.

Parts of her psychological background may be attributed to being the survivor of a murder-arson. Nevertheless she started out as a vigilante, starting to kill criminals for increasingly little infringements until she was incorporated into the Southern Group and subsequently reigned in in a manner by the leader of the group, [[Mikuni Oriko]]. This focussed her violent tendencies on rivalling but also perceivably ''innocent'', if somewhat erratic, [[magical girl]]s.

Hinata was always quick to anger and eager to fight, which leaves the method or arguments employed by Oriko still a mystery.

She fell to an overwhelming force of demons in the fight the Southern Group was factually wiped out in., though the specific circumstances are unknown.

== Costume and Abilities ==

Colloquially a fire mage, she wore a fitting deeper scarlet costume than [[Sakura Kyouko]]. She had an elemental affinity for fire which allowed her quite interesting feats, such as fire-propelled flight by giving herself "rocket boots" or summoning prodigious amounts of flames.

'''Kure Kirika''' was the first to team up with [[Mikuni Oriko]] and later part of the [[Southern Group]].

She paired up with Oriko, tormenting Mami and denying her [[grief cube]]s, attacking her and trashing her home. It can be reasonably assumed Kirika was in love with and full of devotion to Oriko, which kept her somewhat in check.

She had a disturbing habit of licking her claws.

Kirika died during the demon attack that nearly wiped out the Southern Group, only being survived by Oriko for a short amount of time and [[Chitose Yuma|Yuma]].

== Costume and Abilities ==

She was able to slow time in front of her and capable of repeatedly erasing her memory

}}

'''Mikuni Oriko''' was the leader of the Southern Group and prior to that enemy to the [[Tomoe Mami]] and [[Sakura Kyouko]] by association.

Daughter of a ruined and corrupt politician she spent the time directly after contracting tracking down and exposing her father's associates. Her focus of vengeance soon expanded to criminals of all sorts and perpetrator of the smallest misdemeanour, slipping further into insanity, albeit keeping some semblance of grip in contrast to her later associates.

That was the time she started working together with [[Kure Kirika]] in targeting Mami and Kyouko and making their life hell. Always prodding their territory, poaching, so to speak. Soon after [[Miroko Mikuru]] and [[Hinata Aina]] joined the two, forming the Southern Group and thus escalating the conflict with the [[Mitakihara Four]].

She introduced [[Chitose Yuma]], newly contracted, as a fifth member into the group and mentored her.

Of the four of the original group, Mikuni Oriko was the sanest, which is not as hard as it may seem, and also the mastermind behind the groups formation and operation. In this role she was the James Moriarity befitting of [[Akemi Homura]]'s Sherlock Holmes. The somewhat random incursions grew concerted, as did the killings of magical girls, which only stopped with the still mysterious near wipe-out of the Southern Group at the hands of demons.

As an historical figure she is rather ambiguous – especially considering her power. It is questionable if all of her actions were truly random and unjustified murder of innocent people or of she mayhaps used her power to weed out detrimental futures. Especially the recruitment of Yuma, not really matching the derange psychological make-up of the rest of the group, makes on wonder for Oriko's reasoning.

Her influence was notable of such an degree the [[Incubator]]s regretted Oriko's recruitment.

== Costume and Abilites ==

Oriko wore a white costume.

She was able to transmit her prescient knowledge telepathically, greatly increasing the combat effectiveness of her group. It is assumed she was the most powerful precog of her generation, and incidentally also the last. Even then, when she was at the brink of her own death, she could only perceive darkness when trying to pierce the veil of death.

'''Sakura Kyouko''' (佐倉杏子 ''Sakura Kyouko'') is one of the [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Sakura_Kyouko original protagonists from Puella Magi Madoka Magica]. In [[To the Stars]], she has appeared primarily in her role as the visionary founder of the [[Cult of Hope]] and mentor to [[Shizuki Ryouko]].

==Story==
Kyouko is responsible for most of Ryouko's pre-deployment training and orientation, although usually acting indirectly through her subordinates, [[Patricia von Rohr]] and [[Shirou Asaka]]. Despite this, she is present at the discovery of the [[Supersaturated Grief Cubes]] apparently responsible for the demon attack on Ryouko and [[Simona del Mago]], and at Ryouko's departure from [[Mitakihara City]]. Kyouko is also present at numerous meetings with [[Tomoe Mami]] and [[Chitose Yuma]] to discuss the numerous mysterious circumstances surrounding Ryouko's contracting, as well the [[Grief Cube Discrepancy]]. Several significant flashbacks are seen from her viewpoint.

Kyouko is also involved in a significant subplot regarding her year-long relationship with [[Kishida Maki]]. Maki's realization that her resemblance to the dead [[Miki Sayaka]] served as a significant reason for Kyouko forming the relationship causes her to confront Kyouko, asking that she tell her the truth about their relationship. After a stormy argument, Kyouko tells Maki to leave, claiming that their relationship was nothing more than a fling.

==Background==
===Death of her Family===
The daughter of a minister, Kyouko spent a significant portion of her childhood in hunger due to her father's decision to preach outside the doctrine, resulting excommunication from his church, and loss of financial support. Outraged that her father's seemingly reasonable preachings were being completely ignored, Kyouko wished that people would listen. Her wish resulted in a flood of new followers, allowing her family to maintain a stable living for the first time in a long time. It was during this period that she first met Mami, and the two of them decided to work together to fight [[Demon]]s. Notably, while this decision would have been anomalous in the [[Old World]], it was prefectly reasonable in the [[New World]], where they were surrounded by similar magical girl teams.

Unfortunately, Kyouko'a father's discovery of her daughter's new power and form proved too much for him, spending him into a spiral of depression believing that her daughter had sold her soul to the devil. Eventually, this leads him to kill himself, his wife, and Kyouko's younger sister in a murder-suicide. With Mami's support, Kyouko is able to survive the incident, but the loss of her family deeply scars her, causing her to temporarily lose her primary power, and eventually to leave Mami, on the grounds that their ideologies no long match but also, secretly, because she fears being a burden on Mami.

===Reconciliation with Mami===
Over a year later, Kyouko finds herself compelled to intervene when Mami loses control of her rage against [[Mikuni Oriko]] and [[Kure Kirika]] for destroying her home in a spate of vandalism, simultaneously defending Mami and dragging her out of the area to calm down, before providing Mami with the [[Grief Cube]]s necessary to recover. Thought Kyouko leaves soon afterward, the event proves an important moment for the two of them, as Mami, her faith restored in Kyouko, renews attempts to convince Kyouko to team up again. Kyouko, under heavy pressure from attacks by the new [[Southern Group]], finds herself cooperating with Mami more and more frequently, as a matter of survival, in addition to helping Mami to rebuild her home. Finally, Kyouko concedes to the inevitable, moving back in with Mami and even attending school again.

Soon afterward, the two of them rescue an uncontracted [[Akemi Homura]] from an attack by demons, and acquire a third member.

===Sayaka===
The contracting of Sayaka proves to be a defining moment in Kyouko's life. While originally disdainful of Sayaka's naivety and stubbornness, she eventually comes to recognize and admire Sayaka's similarity to her own younger self, driving her to try to protect the girl. Her realization and actions come too late, as Sayaka emotionally self-destructs, exhausting her soul gem exerting excessive power against a group of demons. Only after Sayaka's death does Kyouko come to understand the regret that overcomes her, a regret at lost love. It is heavily implied that Kyouko's experiences lead her to later seek comfort in a long series of shallow, physical relationships.

===MSY===
A member of the [[Mitakihara Four]], Kyouko serves as one of the founders of the [[MSY]] and plays a significant role in its early formation, serving in a variety of positions, including Director of the Logistics and Grief Cubes Division. She also served at least one stint as Chairman and CEO of [[D&E Corporation]], in the alias "Fukuzawa Anko". (Anko is an alternate pronunciation of the characters of her personal name)

While an important member of the organization, Kyouko did not serve as prominent a role as the other members of the Mitakihara Four, serving more quietly as the head of less prominent divisions.

===Cult of Hope===
Kyouko is present at the [[Battle of Epsilon Eridani]], witnessing Homura's seemingly miraculous saving of the planet. This causes her to deeply reconsider Homura's statements about the [[Goddess]]. After thinking about it for a year, she gives a fiery speech on the anniversary of the battle, declaring both her belief in the Goddess's existence and the need for a magical girl religion. She is able to acquire prominent followers with stunning speed, and the new Cult of Hope, a church organized with her as the leader, quickly becomes a significant force in MSY affairs. Setting aside the majority of the her other duties, Kyouko devoted herself to her new church full-time.

==Character==
The time she spent living on the streets on her own strongly influenced her personality and behavior, at least outwardly, and among friends she is usually brash, direct, and blunt-mannered. While the passage of time has allowed her to pick up numerous other personas, depending on situation, this still serves as her default set of behavior, though she does tone it down significantly for her duties as leader of the Cult.

Despite her exterior, she possesses as a strong, if specific, set of morals. This does not stop her seducing and bedding a long chain of female lovers, which is likely an aftereffect of her previous love for Sayaka. The topic is still a deep source of pain for her, and Maki's attempts to question her on the matter lead Kyouko to end the relationship.

Kyouko is almost always seem eating or carrying a food item, an aftereffect of her childhood spent without food. She views and treats Yuma as a little sister.

'''Tomoe Mami''' (巴マミ ''Tomoe Mami'') is one of the [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Mami_Tomoe original protagonists from Puella Magi Madoka Magica]. In [[To the Stars]], her main role is being the primary mentor of [[Shizuki Ryouko]].

==Story==
Mami is first introduced while searching for potential magical girls in Mitakihara City. She rescues Ryouko from a [[demon]] attack, and is the one to push her into a contract. Mami also provides commentary while watching the [[Akemi (movie)]].

Mami contributed greatly to planning a (failed) [[MagOps]] attack against a [[Wormhole Stabilizer]] in the [[Kepler-37 System]]. She, along with [[Chitose Yuma]] and [[Sakura Kyouko]], are also the ones investigating mysterious administrative problems (the grief cube shortages and the disappearing [[Magical Girl]]s) as well as the enigma surrounding Ryouko (the attempt on Ryouko's life, Ryouko's friend [[Simona del Mago]], the suspicious [[Joanne Valentin]], and the surprise attack on the ''HSS Pierre-Simon Laplace'').

==Background==
===Before Reset===
Her parents died in a car crash when she was only a child, Mami herself only surviving via a wish to [[Kyubey]]. As such, she was forced to learn to fend for herself. She survived solo demon hunts for over a year, taught herself how to form muskets, and mentored Kyouko, [[Akemi Homura]], and [[Miki Sayaka]] before the point at which Homura gains the memories of erased timelines.

===Ten Year Gap===
Before the formation of the MSY, Mami's money was the primary funding that the Four had, and meetings amongst the Four or with other groups were based at her apartment(s), with her serving refreshments.

She nursed an uncharacteristically heavy grudge with [[Mikuni Oriko]], who had gone out of her way to harass her, her territory, and her home. When Oriko died, Mami's only thought was, "I never thought I'd see the day she would go down... I never got to get my revenge."

===MSY===
One of her aliases during this time was "Tomatsu Mai". It is known that she rotated through many roles, including the title of Chief Diplomat.

Mami was the first Director of the [[Soul Guard]], and served until a mission to eliminate [[Grief Cube Thief|an as of yet unnamed girl]] finished eating away at her guilt.

===After Reveal===
After the [[Battle of Epsilon Eridani]], Mami became a Field Marshal and serves on the [[General Staff]]. Her biggest accomplishment to date is the [[Saharan Raid]], where she covered Field Marshal [[Erwynmark]]'s retreat (following a successful assault).

Her flagship is the battlecruiser ''HSS Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov''.

==Character==
Mami works hard to project an image of matronly responsibility and has always been the "respectable older sister" figure, as well as the diplomat, of the [[Mitakihara Four]]. During the Cold War with [[SMC]], Mami was the only one of the elder Leadership members to take on a conciliatory stance amongst a sea of poker faces.

Mami is an excellent cook, and still prefers to use fresh produce instead of [[synthesized]] ones.

==[[TacComp]]==
Mami is equipped with a v2 TacComp named Machina, which acts as her close adviser, secretary, and personal processing core. Mami suspects Machina might be fond of Field Marshal Erwynmark, which has "some possibly disturbing implications".

==Titles==
===Current===
*Field Marshal, [[Army]]
*Chief, [[General Staff]]
*Special Sector Commander, [[Euphratic Sector]]
*[[MSY]] Military Liaison
*MSY Rules Committee Representative, [[Mitakihara]] Special District
*Second Executive, MSY Leadership Committee
*[[MSY Founder]]

===Past===
*Chief Diplomat, MSY
*Director, Soul Guard

==Distinctions==
*'''Directorate Citation''', for the Battle of Epsilon Eridani (the medal is earned "for contributing to an exceptional degree to the wellbeing of Humanity")
*'''Defender's Star, First Class''', for the Saharan Raid (''exact medal requirements unknown'')

MSY Founder

ElMariachi:

'''MSY Founder''' is a blanket term used to refer to one of the roughly 24 girls who part of the original [[MSY]]. As such, they would have been a member of one of the 6 [[Magical Girl Team]]s that signed the original [[MSY Charter]]. In order of signing, the six teams are listed below, along with known members:

*'''Mitakihara Four''' The core founding team, this team contains all the living magical girl members of the original cast, plus [[Chitose Yuma]] from [http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Oriko_Magica Oriko Magica]. [[Miki Sayaka]] was a member of this team, but died before the founding. Unlike the other team names, "Mitakihara Four" is still in common usage by the era of [[To the Stars]], and it is the only team with a complete member list.

**[[Akemi Homura]]
**[[Chitose Yuma]]
**[[Sakura Kyouko]]
**[[Tomoe Mami]]
*'''University Area Group''' This team was apparently located in the vicinity of Mitakihara University, and may have contained students of the school. They collectively ran a food stand to garner extra funds.
**[[Kuroi Kana]]
*'''Northern Group'''
**[[Chiyo Rika]]
*'''Financial District Group''' This team once had a member go missing, probably killed by the [[Southern Group]]
**[[Tanaka Yui]]
*'''Factory Area Group'''
**[[Takara Chinami]]
*'''West [[Kasamino]] Three'''

'''Shizuki Ryouko''' is the protagonist of [[To the Stars]] and a recently contracted magical girl. Having spent most of her life in [[Mitakihara City]], she has grown weary of [[Earth|Earth's]] [[monoculture]] and hopes to find her place among the stars, whether it be in the colonies, the ongoing war with the [[Cephalopods]], or perhaps something else entirely. Her opportunity to do so finally arrives when she and her friend [[Simona del Mago]] are saved from a demon attack in the nick of time by [[Tomoe Mami]], famous magical girl and a recruiter for the [[Mahou Shoujo Youkai]].

She is notable for her status as the product of both the [[Shizuki Matriarchy|Shizuki]] and [[Kuroi Matriarchy|Kuroi Matriarchies]] (albeit through estranged branches); her tutelage under both Tomoe Mami and [[Sakura Kyouko]], two of the [[Mitakihara Four]]; and her record-breaking teleportation range of approximately 200 kilometers.

Although she considers herself rational to the point of cynicism, especially with regard to the military and [[Governance]], she can at times be denser than the average harem lead. She has also some minor self-esteem issues stemming from her body image.

==Appearance==
For some reason everyone thinks her hair and eyes are green. I have no objections to that. Her hair is long and wavy (think Hitomi’s hair) but a bit more tentacular (if that makes sense). Remember, the hair is mildly self-mobile (and has a drone hanging off of it).

Her face resembles Hitomi (never said explicitly), but slightly sharper-edged, since instead of wearing that 24/7 ojou-sama look, she has a constant serious look to her. It also appears more childish than Hitomi (think Madoka, for example).

As for her figure, she’s short and flat-chested, but otherwise quite physically fit (with implants, this just sort of automatically happens). Casual clothing wise, she favors the kind of things you saw at the party (white dress, modest shirt top), with maybe pants if she’s not feeling too formal. Costume wise, it’s green, it’s frilly, and it has buttons. It resembles Madoka’s, actually, if you read the description, though it’s not quite as girlish. Dress is a lot less poofy and more practical, among other things. Soul gem is five-pointed star at base of neck. When not transformed, five-pointed star on the appropriate finger (middle finger of left hand, if episode 5 is to be believed). Of course, her weapon is an arbalest mounted on one arm, and she is a teleporter.

(The green of her costume matches the green of the aliens quite well.)

==Personality==
The protagonist Shizuki Ryouko is by all appearances an ordinary girl. Shorter than average, she is constantly worried that her schoolmates don’t take her seriously, and she has consequently learned to conceal whatever girlish tendencies she may have under a cynical outer layer.This is reflective of an overall tendency to worry about her insignificance in the grand scheme of things, and the desire to prove herself. She is frustrated by the seeming banality of life on Earth, and wishes to travel the universe, where she can have meaningful adventures, like her childhood hero Clarisse van Rossum.

More emotional than she admits, she tries to be as rational whenever possible, with mixed success. She is, however, a thoughtful protagonist. When she is engaged, she is unusually focused, to the point of having tunnel vision. When she is unengaged, a part of her is always drifting far away, causing her to pay suboptimal attention to her surroundings. She has little interest in romance, simply because it doesn’t fall into her current set of goals.

In acute crises, she is unlikely to go into hysterics, and indeed may seem level-headed or even cold; this is not indicative of lack of empathy, but simply a core practicality, even in the most extreme cases. In some cases, she can be shockingly blunt-spoken. It is only when her worldview is shaken that she is truly bothered, but she is extremely resilient. These are excellent qualities for a magical girl.

==Powers==
: '''"I wish I could leave Earth, and explore this world. I want to go where no one else has gone before and find my place in this universe."'''
Ryouko's main power is that of teleportation by wormhole. Under normal circumstances, she has a (record-setting) maximum range of 200km - enough to get her into low Earth orbit - but as the limiting factor is her ability to warp space, much larger ranges are theoretically possible depending on the situation. A weakness of her teleportation is that she must teleport herself along with the targets.

==Distinctions==
*The '''Chitose Yuma Medal''', for leadership during the raid by Cephalopod fighters on the starship ''HSS Pierre-Simon Laplace'' (the medal was earned for "Combat Leadership Exceeding Expectations of Age and Training Level")
*The '''Akemi Homura Medal''', for neutralizing the threat of the cloaked alien reinforcements and teleporting her unit to safety during the Second Wormhole Stabilizer Raid (the medal was earned for 'Successful Resolution of a Seemingly Hopeless Situation'

Nakihara Asami

2014-11-01T20:20:48Z

ElMariachi:

{{Characterbox
|name= Nakihara Asami
|image=Asami Cropped.png
|gender= f
|age= 14? (Needs confirmation)
|occupation= [[Magical Girl]], Active Service
(Rank: Second Lieutenant)
|special= Girlfriend of [[Shizuki Ryouko]]
|SG= Base of the neck
|color= Purple
|weapon= None
|class= Gravity Manipulator
|CO= Unknown
|mentor= Unknown
}}

A meek and unassertive girl, she has the interesting quality of having a build and height very similar to [[Shizuki Ryouko|Ryouko]], easing [[Shizuki Ryouko|Ryouko]]’s insecurities about the issue. Contracted in the same week as [[Shizuki Ryouko|Ryouko]], they land in the same training cohort on New Athens, (as opposed to the other possibility: Mars) and appear to have become bosom friends (and, in Asami's case, something more) over the course of training simulations. She is currently part of the Magi Cæli.

Asami dreamt of being a xenobiologist and shares several personality traits (lack of satisfaction on earth, ambitious dreams, and urge to visit the colonies) with [[Shizuki Ryouko|Ryouko]], but instead spent her wish repairing discord between her parents, for the sake of her younger brother (she also has a much older brother). Asami has gravity-related powers, can sense gravitational shifts, and wears her hair in an unbraided ponytail. It may be that low gravity environments intoxicate her. Who knows?

Although Asami at first expressed a disinterest in romance, she began (awkwardly) dropping hints about her growing affections to [[Shizuki Ryouko|Ryouko]] during their training, and finally confessed her love at an Acheron hot spring.

She participated in the [[Kepler-37 Offensive]], defending Pollux shipyard on the planet Apollo from Cephalopod forces. As a result, her body was lost and her Soul Gem was recovered by a MedEvac drone. When her body was recovered, she heard the news that [[Shizuki Ryouko|Ryouko]] was speculated dead, and as a result started to fall into despair, which prompted her body to be ejected by the MedEvac drone. Asami's Soul Gem was brought back to Earth, where it was integrated into her backup clone, whose growth was accelerated by the inclusion of body parts recovered from her original body.
