Umika Misaki

Umika Misaki is a major character in Puella Magi Kazumi Magica: The Innocent Malice.
An accomplished novelist, she lives in her family's house with her two friends Kazumi and Kaoru, while their parents are working overseas. She provides for them financially with the money earned from her books. She is a magical girl, and a member of the Pleiades Saints. She wished for the chance to meet an editor that would recognize her works.
==Personality==
Umika is the brains of the Pleiades. Although a rather cheery person and far from cold, she keeps her cool most of the time and analyzes situations with care.
As a writer, she often has episodes of writer's block. When this happens, her personality changes dramatically: she becomes extremely frustrated and grows visible horns, going on a cooking frenzy. Her cooking is rather good, and eating it generally solves her block. When this does not work, she goes on a shopping spree with her friends: given her wealth, money is not an issue. Still, she can be quite stingy: it is said she will go anywhere to save one Yen in groceries.
==Powers, Weapons & Abilities==
Having made a wish related to writing, her weapon is a magical book. Its main function is to read the opponent's mind with the spell "Ex File", their thoughts being written on its pages. Umika can then use that information to identify the enemy's weakness, and come up with a plan. It can take the information it learns (such as spells) and apply it to other magical girls, like when Umika casts "Rosso Fantasma", a technique that belongs to Kyoko Sakura, on Kaoru. She can also summon objects from the book, most often a ball for Kaoru's attacks.
For close range attacks, she can transform the book into a double-edged pole, with the covers acting as blades. This pole has the ability to sever the link between humans and pseudo-witches spawned by them.
She can summon a protective barrier around her, but she can only maintain it for a limited period of time. She can also study and use other people's magic, such as Kyouko's Rosso Fantasma, and release people who have been immobilized by using the spell "Carcere Pausa" (Jailbreak).
Umika can also manipulate people's memories by headbutting them and firing lasers into their eyes. She has used this to brainwash Jubey, restore Kazumi's memories, and remove Tachibana's and Ishijima's memories of the bomb threat they were involved in.
==Trivia==

*While she has normal eyesight, she wears glasses when transformed possibly due to the nature of her wish and even acquiring common gestures such as adjusting them regularly.
*It's revealed in chapter 20 that she uses glasses for reading, which explains her habits.
