Saki Asami

Saki Asami is a character in Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice.
She is a magical girl, and the effective leader of the Pleiades Saints. Her wish was for the lily of the valley left by her late sister, Miyuki, to bloom forever.
==Personality==
Saki is tough on the outside and always maintains her cool, as required from someone in her position. However, she cares not only for the safety of her teammates safety, but also for their morale. She effectively assumes leadership of the Pleiades Saints, and is an apt commander both in battle and outside of it.
She is also known to have short fuse at times, having angry reactions to being teased or provoked.
==Powers, Weapons & Abilities==
Saki has the unique ability to both accelerate and even slow down time, although the ability has also been described accelerating or slowing life as well. The rate at which this ability accelerates time can also vary, with one of Saki's usages allowing her to blitz both Umika Misaki & Karou Maki, arriving in the Freeze before Kazumi could notice; notably, Saki had grown her hair from a bob cut to reaching her feet from the experience and seemingly grown significantly taller.  While the ability was described as a side effect of her lightning manipulation in Chapter 18, her usage of the ability to escape with Kazumi showed no such thing.
==Trivia==
*Her last name means "beauty".
*Her last name can also be used as a first name.
*Her first name is written in katakana which has no particular meaning. However, when written in kanji, it can mean "bloom" (咲), obviously referring to her wish.
*When transformed, Saki sports a monocle, a military-style outfit, a beret and a riding crop that extends into a whip, giving her the appearance of a high ranking military officer. It is quite suitable to her position within the group.
*Saki's school uniform also features a beret.
*She usually wears glasses: when transformed, they turn into a single monocle. How this affects her vision is unknown.
*In contrast with her tough appearance, Saki seems to enjoy reading love stories. In her backpack, titles such as "My First Love Was The Milky Way" and "Lemon Kiss Memories" can be seen.
*Saki's Soul Gem is worn as a hair pin when she is not transformed, making Saki the second (after Kazumi) magical girl to not wear her Soul Gem as a ring.
*Saki has a mole under her left eye.
*As declared by Satomi in Chapter 13, Saki is in love with Kazumi.
*This is pointed out in the story as the reason that Saki was unable to destroy any of Kazumi's clones.
*Saki's personal magic circle appears on the door to the room where Kazumi's previous clones are stored in the Freezer, as she was the one charged with disposing of them.
*Saki's name and yo-yo-like weapons may be a reference to Saki Asamiya, the main character of the manga Sukeban Deka.
*Her electric yo-yos also bear a resemblance to similar weapons used by Combattler V.
*The ending omake pages in Volume 1 has Saki humorously complain about the Pleiades' racy magical girl outfits, since they don't have frilly pink dresses and ribbons like other magical girls. In the next three frames, however, she insists she wouldn't change them at all since the original creators' gave their okay for them.
