However, the owner of these feelings does not believe that this small Doppel has that kind of great power hidden within her. She is a docile Doppel, but possibly because she has started to resemble a certain someone, she is strongly opinionated and doesn't do a very good job of listening to others. Those are her flaws.*"

> "*The Doppel of invitation. Its form is dress-up. The master of this emotion does not trust her Doppel, and continues fighting as per usual. This Doppel is extremely small compared to others. Combined with the fact that it’s situated on its master’s head, this means its master hardly ever takes notice of its presence. It’s even doubtful as to whether they can communicate with each other, and so the master simply fights as normal. Nevertheless, her Doppel cheers her on. This Doppel usually seems small and unreliable, but its vines wield more than enough destructive force to pierce its enemies.*"

The master of this emotion clung to the salvation that was offered to her after her darkest night of despair, and obtained a new miracle with which to overcome the fear and anxiety she would have otherwise found unbearable. Thanks to this change in its master’s mentality, this frail Doppel’s form has been altered from what it once was, and it wishes to save its master as she saves others in kind. Its "Tiro Saint-Doppelion” is a cannon salute that announces new hope to heartbroken girls.*"

Kyoko was able to defeat Oktavia, whom created two times a dimension containing a starry sky; the magical girl can also use a weapon called Aurora, which allows her to light the heavens, which is a term used in Genesis 1:1 for the physical universe), **higher** as a Doppel (Her Doppel increases Mami's strenght and powers) | **Multi-Solar System level** (Stronger than Oktavia, whom created two times a dimension containing stars and then Gertrud, whom created a labyrinth containing a sun in the anime and several stars in Grief Syndrome) | **Multi-Solar System level** (The white rob worn by Mami increases her powers.

Was also able to bind and trap Homura before the latter could have used time stop. Can dodge attacks from Kyoko and Kirika, both of them considered fast magical girls, making her faster than Momoko Togame, whom jumped so high to reach the end of the observable universe and came back to earth in 4.58 s) | **FTL**, likely **MFTL+** (Faster than before) | **FTL**, likely **MFTL+** (Faster than Momoko Togame, whom jumped so high to reach the end of the observable universe and came back to earth in 4.58 s)

In Madoka Magica portable, Mami says that she studied a lot to learn the mechanism of her weapons, so she can make them with her ribbons and can try several things. Mami is also a veteran magical girl with lots of experience, who fights in a very focused and disciplined manner, choosing her shots carefully and reacting quickly when she gets into trouble. She showed most of her fighting skills in her battle with Homura in Rebellion, where she creates invisible ribbons to trap Homura's leg and avoid to be susceptible to her time stop; Mami was also able to trick Homura by creating a decoy of herself using her ribbons, that trapped Homura after she shot the fake Mami) | **Below Average**

**Weaknesses:** She instantly dies if her soul gem is destroyed or is at least 100 meters away from her body. Despite being very strong, she can be taken down if she is not paying attention. She is also the most fragile magical girl among the Puella Magi Holy Quintet, leading to her breakdown in timeline 3 of episode 10. In the manga rendition of episode 3, Mami says openly to Madoka that she cries a lot when she is alone and is scared to die from witches battles, declaring that she shouldn't be taken as a good model from Madoka. When hyped by the power of her friendship with Madoka, Mami freezes up when Charlotte transforms. In the interviews, Mami was stated to be extremely powerful when she fights alone, meaning that she is better in single battles than team battles.
