Puella Magi Oriko Magica characters:

After seeing a vision of a destructive witch — Kriemhild Gretchen —
she cannot possibly defeat, she makes it her goal to kill Madoka in
order to prevent her from becoming a witch and destroying the world. She
 attempts this by nominating Yuma as a magical girl candidate, and
sending Kirika to hunt other magical girls, in order to distract Kyubey
from making a contact with Madoka. She eventually succeeds in killing
Madoka by impaling her on a shard of Kirika's shattered witch form, but
dies from a gunshot wound she received from Homura while doing so. She
then appears in the new timeline, fully aware of her previous actions,
but is supported by the new Kirika and can move on.

In *Symmetry Diamond*, Oriko instead sees only Walpurgisnacht,
and teams up with Kirika to stop it. She later meets Yuma in a park, and
 eventually helps out the girl by directing her to a new family after
learning of her abusive household situation.

Kirika Kure (呉 キリカ *Kure Kirika*?)
A 15-year-old magical girl who uses her powers to hunt down her own
kind. As a girl who had no interest in anything and was often bothered,
she became infatuated with Oriko, the one person who paid attention to
her, and made a contract with Kyubey in order to change her personality,
 so she could become friends with Oriko. She has a strong admiration for
 Oriko and will do anything she asks her, including killing other
magical girls. When transformed, she wields a pair of powerful claws and
 has the ability to slow down her enemies (as well as herself), giving
the impression of her moving quickly. When Oriko is confronted by the
other magical girls, she willingly becomes a witch to protect her, but
is ultimately killed by Kyoko, Mami and Yuma. She reappears in the new
timeline befriending the depressed Oriko.

The prequel spin-off *Noisy Citrine* explains her backstory.
She was best friends with a girl called Erika Mamiya, but when Erika
shoplifted a book due to stress from her parent's divorce, she left the
book with Kirika before running off, leaving Kirika to take the blame
and feel betrayed by Erika, especially after Erika ended up moving away
without giving an explanation. Kirika encounters Erika again when her
family moves back to Mitakihara, and ends up saving her from a witch
that tried to make Erika commit suicide, after which Erika and Kirika
become friends again.

Yuma Chitose (千歳 ゆま *Chitose Yuma*?)
A young girl who Kyoko encounters, after Yuma's parents are killed
by a witch. She was often abused by her parents, with her mother calling
 her useless and burning her with cigarettes, and her father neglecting
her and never being home. Yuma thus wants to become useful to someone,
going into distress whenever she feels useless. Despite Kyoko warning
her not to become a magical girl, she ends up becoming one in order to
save Kyoko's life, due to Oriko's manipulation. Yuma specializes in
healing magic and wields a spherical hammer that resembles a cat.

In the alternate timeline depicted in *Symmetry Diamond*, she
briefly meets Oriko. Oriko then sees a vision where she ends up dying,
going into cardiac arrest due to the abuse she received from her mother.
 At the end of *Symmetry Diamond*, Oriko and Kirika find a new family for Yuma to live with.

Hisaomi Mikuni (美国 久臣 *Mikuni Hisaomi*?)
A very hardworking man who promised to work for the greater good of
everyone. His intention was to reform corrupt governmental policies and
eventually bring peace to the entire world. This heavily inspired
Oriko's goal and methods as a magical girl. However, it was revealed
that he was a secretly unscrupulous man who had been falsifying fund
records, and he hung himself to avoid prosecution, leaving Oriko behind
to become a scapegoat in his place. Even so, she refers to him
respectfully as "her father in Heaven" and states that she never fully
stopped wanting to love or protect him.

### *Extra Story* characters

Erika Mamiya (間宮 えりか *Mamiya Erika*?)
Kirika's childhood friend who appears in the *Oriko Magica* prequel, *Noisy Citrine*.
 She had previously moved away from Mitakihara, following a fall-out
with Kirika, but recently moved back there with her mother and
step-father, where she encounters Kirika once more, unaware of her new
personality. Erika sees herself as useless and unable to live up to her
new family's expectations, and believes Kirika hates her for moving the
blame for Erika's shoplifting onto her, thus leading to her attempting
to commit suicide when tempted by a witch. However, she is saved by
Kirika, and the two later become friends again. Erika eventually manages
 to get along with her new family.

Mako Chitose (千歳 眞子 *Chitose Mako*?)
Yuma's abusive mother, who dies at the hand of a witch in *Oriko Magica*. She gains a speaking role in *Symmetry Diamond*.
 Mako is a confrontational, mean woman, who doesn't hesitate to slam
doors in the faces of social service agents, or to yell at and threaten
her daughter. She is shown to take her frustration and aggression out on
 Yuma by abusing her in many ways, including putting out lit cigarettes
on Yuma's forehead.

Sasa Yuuki (優木 沙々 *Yūki Sasa*?)
A magical girl who appears in the spin-off *Symmetry Diamond*,
arriving in Mitakihara City to claim new territory. She is a magical
girl with mind-control abilities. Sasa is a girl who at first appears
bubbly and kind, but her cheerful side masks an incredibly vicious and
possibly even vengeful side of her. She has a tendency to laugh madly at
 times. Despite her enthusiastic controlling of witches, Sasa turns out
to be horrified at the fact that magical girls themselves become
witches. In *Symmetry Diamond*, after Sasa's plan is thwarted,
Oriko reveals to her the fate of magical girls, that they eventually
turn into witches. Sasa, horrified, screams how she doesn't want to
become a witch and smashes her soul gem, dying.

She makes a reappearance in *Sadness Prayer* following Komaki's death.
### *Sadness Prayer* characters

Komaki Asako (浅古 小巻 *Asako Komaki*?)
A magical girl that attends the same school as Oriko. She is
generally loud, upfront, and aggressive, but can also be at times calm
and genial, mostly around her friends. She made a wish to protect her
friends Akira and Miyuki during a fire at school, thus granting her
shielding and barrier powers. Her weapon is an axe.

During *Sadness Prayer*, Komaki slowly becomes friends with
Oriko. Komaki regularly sneaks out of home at night to hunt witches;
this did not go unnoticed by her younger sister, Koito, who expressed
her concerns to one of Komaki's friends, Akira. During a witch hunt,
Komaki got into a fight with Kirika over a grief seed, with Kirika
unaware that she was Oriko's friend. Akira, who had followed Komaki to
find out what she was up to, ran out in the midst of the fight and got
hit by one of Kirika's attacks meant for Komaki; this caused Komaki to
fly into a rage. Kirika, already shocked by Akira's death and frightened
 by Komaki's rage, lashed out in a desperate attack and stabbed Komaki
through the head, killing her. After learning she had killed Oriko's
school friend, Kirika became fearful of her reaction, but recovered
quickly after Oriko forgave her.

Komaki previously made a small cameo in *Symmetry Diamond*,
where Oriko warned her not to keep going out at night, lest she run into
 trouble. Presumably Komaki and Kirika never fought or crossed paths in
this timeline. Komaki and Oriko never seem to become friends in this
timeline, however.

Koito Asako (浅古 小糸 *Asako Koito*?)
Komaki's younger sister, who is more calmer and friendly than her older sister.
She begins suspecting Komaki of having a nightlife after witnessing
her sneaking out at night, and relays her suspicions to Akira, who
begins investigating into Komaki's supposed nightlife. It is currently
unknown how Koito has taken Komaki's and Akira's deaths.

Akira Namekata (行方 晶 *Namekata Akira*?)
One of Komaki's friends, who attends the same school as Oriko and
Komaki. She and Komaki's other friend, Miyuki, often have to interrupt
Komaki's fighting with other students. She is also friends with Koito,
and nicknames her "Koitotchi" (小糸っち *Koitocchi*?).

During the story, Akira begins investigating Komaki's supposed
nightlife after being informed by Koito. Her parents are overseas at the
 time, giving her free rein to investigate Komaki. She tracks Komaki
with her phone and finds her fighting with Kirika one night. After
accidentally calling Koito instead of the police, Akira ditches the
phone and runs out to Komaki after one of Kirika's attacks wounds her.
Akira, however, gets in the way of another of Kirika's attacks and is
cut in half, with her top half landing in Komaki's arms. Her death
causes Komaki to fly into a rage.

Akira has a small cameo alongside Komaki and Miyuki in *Symmetry Diamond*.
Miyuki Nagatsuki (長月 美幸 *Nagatsuki Miyuki*?)
Another of Komaki's friends, who attends school with Oriko, Komaki
and Akira. Not much has been seen of Miyuki, but she appears to be a
kind and friendly person who occasionally lectures Komaki on her
behavior. She was not informed by Akira or Koito about Komaki's
nightlife, and appears to have taken Komaki's death badly. She ended up
delivering a print-out informing of Komaki's and Akira's deaths to
Kirika, which was how Oriko and Kirika found out of their deaths.

Miyuki has a small cameo alongside Akira and Komaki in *Symmetry Diamond*.
Kimihide Mikuni (美国 公秀 *Mikuni Kimihide*?)
Oriko's uncle. The two seem to have a strained relationship. During his appearance in *Sadness Prayer*, he is under the influence of a witch's kiss.
Yurako Mikuni (美国 由良子 *Mikuni Yurako*?)
Oriko's mother, who she had a good relationship with. It is
currently unknown what has become of her in later installments, though a
 line in *Oriko Magica* ("*And I'll bet mommy is looking down from heaven and is so proud!*") suggested that she, too, died at some point.

Rina (リナ *Rina*?)
A new magical girl who appears in *Sadness Prayer* post-Komaki's death. She seems to be associated with Sasa in some way.
Mio (美緒 *Mio*?)
A new magical girl who appears in *Sadness Prayer* post-Komaki's death. She also seems to be associated with Sasa in some way. She is killed by Kirika in a surprise attack.
