Character: Mitama Yakumo Canon: Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story Canon Point: Part 2, Chapter 10, Episode 1
Crime: Breaking the oath of neutrality
Background: As the Coordinator of Kamihama City's magical girls, Mitama serves as a helpful guide and reliable ally to all hard-working girls! ... Or so she'd say. Mitama is a cheerful, lively girl who marches to the beat of her own drum, and has a bit of a mischeavous streak to her, as she enjoys teasing people and getting them into all sorts of hilarious trouble. She's the kind to plan parties and games and then drag everyone else into her fun nonsense, whether they like it or not (especially if they don't). She's happy to lend people an ear when they need it, and provides her magical services to everyone who wants it... provided they can pay the price.
But beneath all that perky and sunny persona, Mitama is extremely jaded and resentful as the result of her past experiences, and finds it difficult to truly trust others, instead choosing to hide behind her merry-go-lucky facade. That's not to say none of her usual act is real, however ─ she really does care deeply about her friends and clients, and she means well. Usually.
Abilities: Mitama is a magical girl, which comes with... A Lot of things, so feel free to check out the detailed summary here, but here's the tl;dr: - her strength, agility, stamina and durability are far beyond those of a normal human - her personal magic gives her the ability to access a person's soul and break it from within with curses; however, she intentionally uses it in reverse, giving her the ability of magical adjustment ─ she can strengthen other people's powers, as well as unlock their latent talents and new abilities - doing the above also causes her to see some of the memories of the person she's adjusting ─ OOCly, this will of course only happen if the player gives their permission, but ICly... let's just say you won't be learning about that anytime soon. that's her blackmail material - she needs a special item called Grief Seed to replenish her magical energy every so often; should she fail to do so, she will turn into a monster known as a Witch, which spreads disasters and curses among humans
- ... she's such a terrible cook it might as well be a special ability
Plans: Since she's brand new, she'll be settling in and learning how everything works... as well as looking into setting up her shop, but that's a story for another time. For long-term plans, I need to address some spoilers of the content that's only been released in Japanese, so I'll put it here:
spoilers for Part 2 of Magia RecordMitama is taken from the canon point where she's attempting to commit genocide, and, due to her trauma and grief, convinced herself that it's actually a good thing to do; since she's not in Kamihama anymore, however, she'll be adopting her usual Friendly Neighbourhood Magical Girl persona, but eventually, some cracks in it might start showing.
With that in mind, I'd love for her to find some friends and other positive influences who could maybe even see her mask slip a bit, and somewhere down the line make her realize how far she's gone; depending on how things go, I'm also considering going down a darker path where she ends up turning into a Witch (either as the extension of the above spoiler, or the realization of the weight of what she's done). I'm open to negative CR, too, of course, though admittedly it's hard to get under Mitama's skin or even get her to take things seriously. Mitama is perfect for dragging people out of their shells if need be, too, since she loves sticking her nose in other people's business. I think there are lots of fun possibilities there!
