There truly aren't enough characters to talk about Madoka Magica (-_-;)
About
Background:
- Once, witches existed in the world. But Madoka became the Law of Cycles, erasing the fate of magical girls turning into witches and saving them all. In exchange, Madoka vanished.
- However, Homura became a demon and tore away the human Madoka from the Law of Cycles. She then restructured the world so Madoka could live happily as a human.
Current Status: The setting is Mitakihara City; everyone attends Mitakihara Middle School. Instead of witches, magical girls fight Wraiths. Homura, as the ruler of the world, controls everything as she pleases while watching over Madoka.
Anomaly: Due to Homura's actions, the Law of Cycles has malfunctioned, and the Nazuka-Sokone has been restored. Reborn Witch-Girls have appeared in the physical world. These unknown and unexpected existences to Homura set the stage for a new upheaval.
Characters
Personality: Pure and altruistic. Low self-esteem. Her inner strength and decisiveness are stronger than anyone's; she doesn't hesitate to sacrifice herself for others. Oblivious to romantic interest.
Second-year student. Sayaka's childhood friend. Her true identity is the girl who became the Law of Cycles and should have vanished from the world. Now, with her existence and memories altered by Homura, she lives as an ordinary, ignorant girl. She doesn't even know magical girls exist. No one can harbor doubts about her.
Personality: Cold and rational, but kind at heart. A lone wolf who hides her true feelings. She loves Madoka deeply, valuing her more than her own life. She is soft and weak for Madoka.
Second-year student. Her true identity is a Demon, the current ruler of the world. She usually poses as a magical girl. A mastermind who manipulates memories and manages an ignorant, peaceful world. She will investigate and eliminate anyone who lays a hand on Madoka, no matter who they are.
Motivation: A wish for Madoka to be happy as a normal human. She alone refuses to forget Madoka's lingering regret: "Being separated from everyone is lonely after all."
Personality: Used to be energetic but has recently become somewhat quiet. Strong sense of justice and deeply compassionate. Tends to bottle things up. Sharp intuition; once she notices something, she wants to pursue it.
Second-year student. Once became a witch, was saved by the Law of Cycles, and became its messenger. Now, her original memories and role are sealed by Homura (the bandages appearing during transformation are proof of this). She is the only one among the group who feels something is wrong with the current situation, Homura, and the Witch-Girls. She begins to cooperate with Homura to investigate the Witch-Girls.
Personality: Dry and tomboyish. Used to be selfish but has mellowed out recently; though awkward, she is loyal. Always carries food and hates wasting it.
Second-year student. A magical girl who used to claim Kazamino City as her territory and was Mami's apprentice. She is best friends with Sayaka and they are often together.

Third-year student. A veteran with a long history as a magical girl. Nagisa is attached to her, and she takes good care of her. She worries about everyone, including Homura.
Personality: Innocent and does things at her own pace. Faithful to her desires (fun things and food). A bit cheeky. Surprisingly more philosophical than anyone else.
Like Sayaka, she became a messenger of the Law of Cycles after becoming a witch, but now enjoys her days as a mere young child. She actually knows everything from the start but forgives Homura, thinking that as long as it's fun and peaceful, it's fine. Always with Mami.
Personality: Cheerful, transcendent, and quite eccentric, but actually deeply compassionate and thoughtful. Mentally the most mature. Boldly approaches Madoka.
Leader of the Witch-Girls. Her name is unknown, but she is a popular upperclassman naturally accepted by everyone. Her real name is Marguerite, but due to amnesia, she currently believes Madoka is the one with that name. Her true identity is Walpurgisnacht. She harbors deep affection and obsession for Madoka, who once saved her. She treasures Madoka's free will and opposes Homura's actions, viewing them as a distorted ego forced upon her.
She holds an ancient truth that is now beyond the horizon of her memory...
Goal: To liberate Madoka from Homura and restore the Law of Cycles.
Personality: Bright, energetic, and innocent. Loves being useful to others. For some reason, she loves Kyubey. Actually has a cold-hearted side.
A Witch-Girl. Companion to the Nameless Senior. She takes a liking to Nagisa and they become friends. Secretly hates Madoka for some reason.
She is supposed to be acting with the same goal as the Nameless Senior and Lilac as a Witch-Girl, but...
Personality: Serious and prone to overthinking. Straightforward; gets along well with Kyoko, who is also reluctant about human relationships outside of magical girls.
A Witch-Girl. Shares the same goal as the Nameless Senior and belongs to the anti-Homura faction. A hard worker who is always troubled by the Nameless Senior and Selma, who tends to get distracted by childish play.
Personality: Extreme rationalist devoid of emotion. Cunning and calculating. Views human values as a form of mental illness.
An alien species. Hated by everyone. The culprit who has continued to sacrifice magical girls for the purpose of extending the lifespan of the universe. Currently forced to cooperate under Homura's control, which he finds unsatisfactory. Having gained a common enemy in Homura, he begins to switch sides to the Witch-Girls.

Madoka Magica Glossary
A collection of terminology up to Walpurgisnacht: Walpurgis no Kaiten.
Madoka Magica Witches
A partial collection of the Witches that appear in the story.
Intro
Magical Girls. Those who once carried hope, and would one day scatter curses.
By contracting with Kyubey, in exchange for having any one wish granted, they bear the destiny of fighting witches who bring disaster to the world as magical girls. That is a magical girl.
And eventually, their Soul Gems... their souls fill with impurity and despair, and the magical girl turns into a new witch. A fate from which no magical girl can escape.
That was the official history of the world. Until a concept called the "Law of Cycles" was born in this world.
Once, Homura Akemi repeated countless time loops to save Madoka Kaname from the fate of death and witchification. As a result, karmic destinies intertwined, granting Madoka the power to grant a wish that no ordinary girl could achieve.
"I want to erase all witches... before they are even born. Every witch in every universe, past and future... with my own hands."
That was what Madoka Kaname wished for. And it was realized; as Madoka wished, the "Law of Cycles," a system to save all magical girls, was born, rewriting the world from its very foundations. Into a world where witches do not exist.
But in exchange, the human Madoka vanished from every universe. Because she was no longer human; she had become a god.
However, it didn't end happily ever after. The energy obtained from the Wraiths that appeared in place of witches was low, insufficient for Kyubey's plan to sustain the universe. Thus, Kyubey sought to research and overcome the Law of Cycles to bring back the world where witches existed.
To that end, Kyubey used Homura Akemi as a test subject. At the moment Homura would turn into a witch, the true form of the Law of Cycles (Madoka Kaname) would come to collect her. He intended to strike then and seize the Law of Cycles.
But due to Homura's resistance and the efforts and unity of everyone, Kyubey's plot was crushed. Kyubey's attempt to control the Law of Cycles failed.
But... something no one could have predicted happened. The Law of Cycles was torn apart by Homura Akemi.
Into two: the concept of the Law of Cycles and Madoka as a human.
It was an act equivalent to rewriting the rules of the world at will and causing a god to fall.
Something hotter than hope and deeper than despair... that is 'Love.'
Having torn Madoka away from the Law of Cycles, she called herself this:
"A Demon"...*
The world was restructured once again by Homura, who had become a demon, creating a world where everyone had forgotten the existence of witches and the Law of Cycles. Centered around a girl named Madoka, who shouldn't have existed.
...And now, time has reached the present.
