Puella Magi Kazumi Magica/Characters: Difference between revisions

* {{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie]]: As the series progresses.}}

* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't touch Kazumi's bells.

* {{spoiler|[[Body Horror]]: All the failed clones have some kind of it on their person. Kazumi herself turns similar to them after being exposed to the Evil Nut.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Cloning Blues]]: She's a clone of Michiru Kazusa}}

** {{spoiler|And then we find she's still [[Locked Out of the Loop]] when the Pleiades attack a magical girl and sever her connection to her Soul Gem. She discovers that truth in chapters 8 and 9. Then there's her true origins...}}

* [[Loss of Identity]]: To the point where she even refers to herself as a "new" Kazumi. {{spoiler|Because she is.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Kazumi can be read as "thirteen". In Chapter 13 {{spoiler|we find she's the thirteenth Kazumi clone.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Mercy Killing]]: Performs the final blow on Yuuri's witch form. Interestingly, she also did it to share that burden with her friends.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Morality Pet]]: For the Pleiades...sort of.}}

* [[Naked First Impression]]: How Souichirou (and the reader, for that matter) is introduced to Kazumi.

* [[Parental Abandonment]]: {{spoiler|Justified, she's a clone.}}

* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Before her [[Important Haircut]].

* [[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 {{spoiler|turn a witch into a [[Came Back Wrong|twisted witch/magical girl hybrid.]]}}

----

----

* [[Badass Normal]]: {{spoiler|Mind you, at that time, Kaoru was crippled and had to walk with crutches. Even before her contract, she was the only one who can fend off the familiars without Kazumi's muskets back-up before her injured leg started to give in.}}

* [[Cool Big Sis]]: To Kazumi. {{spoiler|At the end of Ch.15 when the Pleiades decide to kill Kazumi and reclone her, Kaoru is the only one to have reservations against it.}}

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Eyes of Gold]]

* [[Whip It Good]]: Her weapon is a riding crop that [[Lightning Gun|shoots lightning]].

* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: A small panel in Chapter 12 inexplicably shows her wearing a witch's hat. Since it was part of a flashback, it's possible this was her original magical girl outfit.

* [[Number of the Beast]]: Probably doesn't mean anything, but in Chapter 12 we find she was carrying a teddy-bear with 666 on it.

* [[Out of Focus]]: After her initial appearance, she gets less panel time compared to the other magical girls. {{spoiler|Averted in a big way in Chapter 9.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Room Full of Crazy]]: That room full of teddy-bears in her backstory is a tiny bit disturbing.}}

* [[Dominatrix]]: In Omake, the visual representation of her {{spoiler|mind manipulation}} over Saki is that she has Saki literally on leash and whip.

* [[Impossibly Low Neckline]]: In her magical girl outfit.

** [[Cleavage Window]]

* [[Meaningful Name]]: ''Usagi'' means ''rabbit''. Fitting, since Satomi wants to be a vet.

** {{spoiler|Also, her witch form has a smaller form resembling a rabbit that is revealed after the cage-like outer layer of the witch was broken.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Slasher Smile]]: End of Chapter 12.}}

* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]: She wished to talk to animals, to help her become a veterinarian.

* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Her justification for killing Kazumi; she's just a clone, and could turn back into a witch.}}

 

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Sixteen chapters in and {{spoiler|we still don't know exactly what Nico's wish was.}}

* [[Ax Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Enough to pretend she's someone else!}}

* [[Memento MacGuffin]] / [[Tragic Keepsake]]: {{spoiler|The easy-to-miss spoon hanging around Yuuri's neck. It was given to her by the real Yuuri as a good luck charm. Airi then gave it back to Yuuri, and it's left behind when her witch form is destroyed. Airi then reclaims the spoon and wears it when she becomes Yuuri.}}

* [[Mysterious Watcher]]: In the first two chapters.

* [[No Name Given]]: Until Chapter 4. {{spoiler|But then in Chapter 5 we find it's not her real name.}}
