==Personality==
Magali is a gluttony girl who is always hungry and thinking about eating. Her gluttony is so absurd that she chases her friends for their snacks and is able to devour watermelons at one single bite.

However, despite that, she is a docile and gentile girl, who takes friendship seriously and always try to help her friends, is an animal lover (especially cats), and do not like conflicts very much, despite being extremely brave when needed.
In Monica Teen, Maggy learned how to control her gluttony a bit, despite still being a food lover, she handles herself pretty much good most of the time, and wants to become a healthier person. Sometimes she has meltdown where she actually eat almost as much as she did when she was a kid. She is still kind to everybody, but is more open with her own opinions and ideas than before. She valorizes her friends just as much as she already did, despite their constant fights and disagreements, she loves all of them.
==Character==
Maggy's secret, that she carries since her birth, and that not even their parents know, is that she is one of the last of the kind of the Moon Witches, a race of whitches that Aunt Nena, Maggy's aunt, is a part of. While she only demonstrates such abillities under extremly powerful emotions or pression, or when her subconsciouness thinks its needed. This fact remained mostlyas unexplored fact in the main-stream comics, but is more important in Monica Teen.
Magali is a girl who since birth had a superhuman hunger. Her best friend is Monica, a girl that lives in the same street as her and that she has known and been friends with since they were babies. Magali has the reputation of eating much more than a normal human being which normally amazes her friends. Magali lives with her parents Dona Lili and Seu Paulinho, who often have financial problems because of her exaggerated hunger. She also has a pet cat named Vanilla, who is troublesome and arrogant besides oftenly being smarter than her.
When she is not at home, Magali often wanders and walks with her ​​friends, especially with Monica, and in some occasions with Denise and Marina. Maggy often pursues his friends to eat their snacks, especially Jimmy Five who appears to be her main victim. She also lives nearby the little Junior, who is her younger cousin that unlike her hates eating. She is also the niece of Tia Nena, a very popular and friendly cook, that is frenquently tormented by her niece's hunger. Similar to Smudge and Dustine, Maggy also has a boyfriend, Toddy, who is the son of a baker and often gives her bread as a way of flirting with her, and, despite what most people believe, Maggy really loves Toddy, and does not only dates him because of the bread she'll gain in the process.
Despite her gluttony, Maggy is a friendly good girl. She, as many of her friends (Monica, Jimmy Five and Smugde), is always involved with adventures, and she even has a rival villain, the witch moon Viviane. She is often chased by Viviane who is obsessed with beauty and fortune, and despite Maggy giving no importance to those, she always manages to defeat the witch in the end with the help of her friends. The Pitanga Tree Girls, composed by Penha, Agnes and Sofia, the Tenebrous Doll, Captain Fray, and other enemies she constantly faces off alongside the gang.
== Monica Teen ==
In this spin-off with manga style Maggy is a 15 year old and is still friends with Monica, Jimmy Five, Smudge and the other original characters from the classic series. Magali is studying in the same school that her friends from Limoeiro neighborhood are, and is still a voracious girl, although she learned how to control her hunger and, as usual, she never gets fat. She is still Toddy's girlfriend, but is also in love with the teacher of the school. Her pet cat Vanilla is now a father with several kittens at her house. Often during adventures with her friends, she acts as the most relaxed of the gang.
One of her most prominent arcs in the manga is the discovery of her moon witch powers, which were essential to defeat villains, such as Cumulus and the White Horse of Decay. However, since she is very unexperienced at using them, they can easily corrupt her mind and alterate her personality, turning her into a cold person. If too much power is used, she also can go mad and become a villain (like it was shown in Future Sunny's bad future).
