Puk Puck

==Summary==
Puk Puck is an extremely powerful magical girl, who stands at the very top of the Magical Kingdom as one of the incarnations of the Three Sages. The Three Sages are, alongside the First Mage, the founders of the Magical Kingdom and each of them has her own faction. When they died, they continued to be reincarnated within a magical girl of their faction. However, these hosts aren't originally humans, but instead homunculi, semi-sentient beings created by magic. These particular homunculi were meticulously crafted, designed and molded by the Magical Kingdom to have certain attributes, personalities, demeanors, and magics that would place them at the top of the magical-girl food chain.Light Novel, Volume 11Magical Girl Raising Project: breakdown Puk Puck has been the current incarnation of Av・Lapati・Puk・Baltha for many decades, with her body acting as the main vessel for the Sage's spirit. Puk Puck is also an Ancient Magical Girl, a type of magical girl who came to be in earlier centuries, back when they didn't have self-sustenance, and needed to eat and sleep to recover energy and heal wounds. Puk Puck is over 100 years old, and is likely unable to detransform due to the earlier stages and limitations of magical girl creation. She doesn't get along with Grim Heart, since the latter's magic counters hers.
In spite of her age and status of the leader of the Puk faction, Puk Puck has a somewhat childlike personality and simple nature. She often behaves in a pure-hearted, lively manner, and loves all of her subordinates and protégés, considering them all as friends. Among them are Uluru, Sorami Nakano and Premium Sachiko, three orphan girls taken in by Puk Puck and who effectively became her adoptive daughters. Behind her childish demeanor, Puk Puck possesses vast knowledge about the world, a keen understanding of the Magical Kingdom's politics, and the large-scale events around her. On the other hand, because of her childlike naivety, she often does things carelessly without caring about consequences.
Spoilers
However, even if Puk Puck's actions are good-natured, her magic has severely twisted her mind and perception of kindness, due to nobody ever disagreeing with her or scolding her, instead praising everything she says or does. While she genuinely cares about others, including enemies, she has shown repeatedly to be self-centered and to prioritize her own needs, not even caring about her protégés' deaths or lending them a single thought when her plans are proceeding. Overall, despite preaching the importance of friendship and wanting to befriend as many people as possible, she doesn't seem to understand what friendship truly entails, being genuinely unaware that what she views as "friendship" is, in fact, brainwashing. In a sense, she's so toxically positive that she'll remain positive, no matter who she hurts.
In ACES and QUEENS, it is revealed Puk Puck had been planning a wide-scale project: by "befriending" every magical girl and using an ancient device left by The First Mage, she would lead all magical girls inside it, transmute them into magic energy (turning them to goo), and release that near-infinite energy in the world, to replenish the rapidly-depleting current amount of magic energy. By QUEENS, all her pieces are set, she has brainwashed hundreds of magical girls (including Snow White and Shadow Gale) and she sets her plan in motion. She's confronted by the Osk faction, led by the newly-promoted Lethe, various influential mages, Pfle's mercenaries, and a large army of Shufflins, which turns into a quick but violent war.

Over time, she's built up her massive estate and obtained dozens of magical girls under her faction, which she treats kindly. Genius in combat. As a Sage, her physical prowess exceeds all other magical girls, including powerhouses like Archfiend Pam and Marika Fukuroi. She defeated multiple high-tier magical girls and destroyed large machines with simple pebbles, created a crater by landing after a short jump, and held off an entire army by herself. She fought against Lethe, who scales to Archfiend Pam at the very least, with little effort, and avoided her distance-manipulating attacks.
Weaknesses: Often does things carelessly without caring about consequences. She's rather simple-minded. None otherwise

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Brainwashing: Puk Puck's magic is to "befriend" anyone. In truth, that "friendship" is forced and no different from brainwashing. Upon seeing Puk Puck or her image, or hearing her voice, anyone will grow to unconditionally adore Puk Puck, believe good things about her, serve her with loyalty, and act in her interests. Even just being aware of her presence is enough for her magic to work, like with Snow White. They begin to see Puk Puck as the most important person, to the point of being willing to die to protect or benefit her. At the highest level, the target's feelings will turn to worship and blind obedience.
The more exposure someone has to Puk Puck, the stronger and more long-lasting the brainwashing becomes. However, because the brainwashing gradually weakens over time without exposure to Puk Puck, she must regularly apply her magic to maintain its effect. Also, if she increases the intensity of her magic for someone too much, her magic's effect on others will decrease by a similar amount. Still, even after the magic loosening on someone, a tinge of doubt will permanently remain on them, unless their memory of her is gone.
Puk Puck can control the intensity of her brainwashing as she pleases, both as a general application and on a person-by-person basis; in other words, she can simultaneously apply different levels of intensity on multiple people looking at her. If she makes the brainwashing too strong, the personalities of her "friends" can potentially change, even the way they think; if the process is too quick, the brainwashing won't last as long and will need to be re-applied sooner. Her magic also works in the form of media: a picture or drawing of Puk Puck, a pre-recorded video, a live feed through a camera, her voice spoken through speakers, etc. As long as someone recognizes her as Puk Puck, they can be affected by her magic.
Finally, her magic works just as well on monsters and bizarre entities, such as homunculi and demons. Strong willpower can temporarily hold off the effects of Puk's magic, but only for so long, as even Lethe and Snow White only resisted for a few seconds at most, despite knowing of Puk's magic beforehand.
