Puella Magi Kazumi Magica/Characters

Kazumi
The main character. An amnesiac girl who can't remember anything about her life before, including her wish. She is a member of the Pleiades Saints.


 * Amnesiac Hero:
 * Bare Your Midriff: In her Magical Girl costume.
 * Berserk Button: Don't touch Kazumi's bells.
 * Beauty Brains and Brawn: Kazumi is Beauty.
 * Creepy Cool Crosses: Kazumi's weapon is shaped like a cross.
 * Cute Little Fangs: They tend to show up during her more angsty moments.
 * Cute Witch: Kazumi's magical girl outfit makes her look like one. Ironic, considering the monsters she fights are called witches
 * Expressive Hair: Kazumi's Idiot Hair changes in response to Witches.  It also responds to emotions, like making a heart at the end of chapter 3.
 * Expy:
 * Feminine Women Can Cook
 * Forgot the Call: Kazumi wasn't aware she was a magical girl until she transformed.
 * Girl in A Box: In the first chapter.
 * The Heart
 * Idiot Hair: Kazumi has one that, according to her, can detect witches!
 * Important Haircut: Kazumi's long, flowing hair gets quite a trim from her friends in the second chapter. She decides it fits with the 'new Kazumi'.
 * Kawaiiko: Kazumi dresses like an elementary student, and acts quite young and innocent.
 * Loss of Identity: To the point where she even refers to herself as a "new" Kazumi.
 * Magical Incantation: "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," though this was only in the scanlation. The original phrase was "Chichinpurin," another food pun.
 * Meaningful Name: Kazumi can be read as "thirteen". In Chapter 13
 * Mini Dress of Power
 * Naked First Impression: How Souichirou (and the reader, for that matter) is introduced to Kazumi.
 * No Name Given:
 * Parental Abandonment:
 * Rapunzel Hair: Before her Important Haircut.
 * Red Eyes Take Warning: Though the "new" Kazumi isn't sinister.
 * Reality Warper: It seems that Kazumi's bell can change reality; in the first chapter, the bomb that was supposedly a real bomb turned into a harmless toy after Kazumi wishes it.
 * Her magic is strong enough that she can
 * In Chapter 8
 * Sigil Spam: See that symbol on her earring bells? It's also the shape of her Idiot Hair and the top of her witch's hat in magical girl form. And it appears twice on her Soul Gem.
 * Skewed Priorities: Kazumi has been kidnapped, is recently amnesiac, and is sitting in the kitchen of a man who plans to blow up a mall. What does she focus on? Food.
 * Tragic Keepsake:
 * Her turn out to be one.
 * Vapor Wear: Apparently. If the cover of the first tankobon is to be believed, Kazumi wears nothing beneath that magical girl outfit. That opens the question of how can she wear panties when not wearing her skirt, though. Perhaps they remain in place until the outfit is formed?
 * Chapter 8 gives us a minor Panty Shot, so who knows.
 * Chapter 2 gives us a post-Transformation Sequence Panty Shot after she briefly forgets to conjure a skirt.
