Madoka's alter ego is **Cure Selene** and she is known as the Pretty Cure of the Moon. Her catchphrase is **"Good day"**.

Madoka firstly appears in Chapter 22 of Unity Force: Stories.

## Appearance

As a civilian, Madoka has gentle blue eyes and long, layered purple hair with a dark magenta ribbon on each side of her head.

Normally, Madoka wears a pearl blue long-sleeved blouse with indigo straps on the wrist and an indigo dress is worn over it. Around her waist is a dark indigo belt with a crescent moon buckle and on her collar of her shirt is a dark magenta ribbon with the same crescent moon brooch. She also wears strappy dark indigo Mary-Janes worn with grey tube socks. In the summer, she wears a different blouse that has shorter sleeves. For winter, she wears a similar dress but the ribbon is on her hip. She now wears a light grey turtleneck, along with a pair of dark purple boots and light grey tights. She would sometimes also wear a gray caplet with a dark magenta ribbon in the front.

As an adult, Madoka's hair is shorter and without ribbons, tying part of it with a single red bow. She is shown in a dark blue uniform with a white shirt, black heels, and an ID tag around her neck.

As **Cure Selene**, her eyes are lighter, while her hair thickens and turns lilac. A pair of forelocks are held in a gold band. She wears a white frilly headband with blue and purple bows that have a blue sphere with a crescent moon. Her choker is thick and purple with a light blue star. Her dress has white puffy sleeves and frills in some places. The bodice is deep purple with a white diamond design in front and her Star Color Pendant on top. Beneath the bodice is a white layer matching her sleeves with her pouch on the left. The skirt is purple with longer tips at each pleat with a yellow star at each end. The back is slightly longer. Under it is a shorter purple skirt and a pale blue translucent layer. On her back is a light blue ribbon. Her boots are white and purple with pale blue snowflake-like designs on top. Her accesorries include white wristbands with a ruffle and crescent moon earrings.

In her **Twinkle Style**, her hair grows longer and decorated with stars. Her headband is replaced by a tiara, and her bows are slightly bigger. The gold bands around her forelocks are now white. Her dress is slightly bigger with her sleeves replaced with a light blue wrap and wings added to her pendant. The white layer around the waist is now lined with yellow and flares out slightly. Under the skirt is a glittery light blue layer followed by a longer light purple layer. Her wristbands now reach her upper arms and crescent moons appear on her boots.

As **Capricorn Cure Selene**, her hair grows longer and wavier with a magenta ombre decorated with matching hearts. Her ribbons are magenta and she now has light magenta goat horns. The top of her dress, back bow, and top layer of her skirt are pale pink. The top part is also longer with a translucent layer that matches its length. The skirt inside is shorter with a light purple layer that opens in front with white layers inside it and decorated with a light pink ribbon. Her earrings are also heart-shaped.

As **Sagittarius Cure Selene**, her hair is tied in a ponytail with an indigo ombre. The bodice is now white with a purple diamond in front with the layer around the waist matching it in color. The top part of the skirt is pale purple with magenta stars hanging on each end. Underneath is a yellow translucent layer that gets longer toward the back and the purple skirt is nearly floor-length. She holds a gold and purple bow with an arrow with a gold star-shaped tip and yellow feathers at the end.

## Personality

Madoka is a third-year student who tries her best to be ladylike. She is from a family with a storied history; her father works in the government while her mother is a famous pianist. She, herself, holds national championship titles in piano, archery, flower arranging, and tea ceremonies seamlessly, and gets excellent grades in academics. As the student council president, she's known as "The Moon of Mihoshi Town". According to AI's evaluations, she is mostly a composed leader type who is befitting for issuing orders. Madoka initially forces herself to be perfect in her talents thanks to her father's high expectations, which resulted in her stressing out easily, but she learns to cope with it and to lower her standards thanks to her friends. She can also be indecisive, but soon learns how to make her own choices.

## Abilities

### Cure Selene

**"Light up the night sky! With the secretive moonlight! Cure Selene!"**
夜空に輝く！神秘の月あかり！キュアセレーネ！
*Yozora ni Kagayaku! Shinpi no Tsukiakari! Kyua Serēne!*

**Cure Selene** (キュアセレーネ?) is the Pretty Cure alter ego of Madoka. In order to transform, she needs the Star Color Pendant and her Star Color Pen. During the battles, Selene is shown to have enhanced senses and precision, being able to dodge the Nottorei within the storm they conjured and prefers to use long-ranged attacks to fight the enemy by firing arrows. These arrows can be duplicated after being shot and fired in the air to create a rain of arrows. She has, however, demonstrated numerous times that she can go on the offensive and fight up close when needed.

### Transformation

* **Color Charge!:** Madoka's pendant top pops up, allowing Madoka to insert her Star Color Pen. She shouts the phrase as her two hair ribbons disappear and she draws a crescent moon. Madoka then rides on the crescent moon as she touches the center of the pendant with the pen and starts to sing. As she flies through the air, she starts to draw and once she gets off the crescent moon, she catches the line she draws and it turns into a bow and arrow. She then fires the bow into the sky, with the light splitting into four beams that wrap around her wrists and legs, forming her cuffs and boots respectively. After she touches the center again, she then draws on the other parts of her outfit, starting with the puffy sleeves, the bodice, and then the skirt and back ribbon. After that, she draws on her choker, earrings, and headband as her hair grows longer and lighter. She presses her pen to her pendant one last time as the cord disappears and attaches to her dress. She then draws the white star-like design on her bodice before the pen flies into the pouch. She stops singing and introduces herself before striking a pose.
