[[File:OrikoTvtropes01_6616.png|frame]]
A mysterious magical girl. Her magic allows her to see into the future. Her first vision was one where a powerful witch attacks Mitakihara City. {{spoiler|She is the mastermind behind the magical girl killings. Her wish was to understand the meaning of her life.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Villains|Type III]]}}
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: To Kirika, just as {{spoiler|Mami is about to blast Kirika's head}}.
Line 11 ⟶ 14:
* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]}}
* [[Decoy Protagonist]]: The first volume, at least, is more about Yuma and Kyouko than Oriko. {{spoiler|There's also the fact that Oriko is the main antagonist.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Desperately Looking for Aa Purpose In Life]]: After her fall of grace.}}
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Counterpart]]: To Madoka, in a sense. Both are girls [[Desperately Looking for Aa Purpose In Life]], express a desire to help others (in Oriko's case this manifested in some well-intentioned extremism in preventing Madoka from becoming a world destroying witch and Madoka doing a [[Cosmic Retcon]] to prevent the birth of witches), have a friend with [[Undying Loyalty]] and invoke a princess motif, having [[Pimped-Out Dress|Pimped Out Dresses]] in their [[Magical Girl]] forms and living in [[Big Fancy House|Big Fancy Houses]]. }}
* {{spoiler|[[Fallen Princess]]: Her backstory. Her father was a corrupt congressman who commited suicide, and everyone shunned and abandoned her afterwards. When Kyuubey found her to offer her a contract, she was wrapped in a bedsheet in a corner of her now empty home, apparently resigned to [[Dying Alone]].}}
* [[Feminine Women Can Cook]]
* [[Green Eyes]]
* {{spoiler|[[Hannibal Lecture]]: Attempts this on Homura.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]: She [http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-shoujo-oriko-magica/7/14 gets in the way of Kyouko's spear] to prevent it from hurting Kirika's corpse. She didn't die because of this, but it allowed Homura to shoot her Soul Gem.}}
** {{spoiler|She also uses her last moments of life to shoot a shard of Kirika's witch body through the barrier, as her last chance to kill Madoka. It works, hitting the poor girl in the torso and killing her.}}
* [[Les Yay]]: She and Kirika are very close.
Line 30 ⟶ 33:
* [[The Ojou]]
* [[Omniscient Morality License]]: She ''does'' have a point about {{spoiler|the imminent apocalypse...}}
* {{spoiler|[[Out -Gambitted]]: By Kyubey. ''And'' she out-gambits Homura.}}
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Her magical girl outfit is quite impressive.
* [[Seer]]: Her powers appear to let her see the future.
Line 40 ⟶ 43:
* {{spoiler|[[Villain Protagonist]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: She wants to kill Madoka to prevent her from becoming a Magical Girl and then a world-destroying witch}}
* {{spoiler|[[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Oriko's fate in the timelines seen in the anime is unknown.}}
* [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]: The volume 2 cover has her as silvery blonde, but that's close enough.

----
 
=== Yuma Chitose ===
[[File:YumaTvtropes01_5353.png|frame]]
A young girl that Oriko names as a potential magical girl candidate to Kyubey. {{spoiler|Her wish was to heal a dismembered Kyouko, which grants her healing spells; her offensive abilities involve using her staff to cause tremors.}}

----
* {{spoiler|[[Abusive Parents]]: Her father never was around. Her mother burnt her with cigarettes and told her she was worthless and useless.}}

Line 73 ⟶ 76:
* [[Third Person Person]]: {{spoiler|Just like Momo, Kyouko's dead little sister.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Unwitting Pawn]]: To Oriko.}}
* {{spoiler|[[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Yuma's fate in the timelines seen in the anime is unknown.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]
 
----
 
=== Kirika Kure ===
[[File:KirikaTVTROPESImage01_4480.png|frame]]
A "black magical girl", and a friend of Oriko. {{spoiler|She's the culprit behind the magical girl killings. Her wish involved changing her formerly quiet personality to a more outgoing one, and it grants her time-slowing magic.}}
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Alliterative Name]]
* {{spoiler|[[Ax Crazy]]}}
Line 113 ⟶ 116:
* {{spoiler|[[Time Master]]: Her power is to slow down everything except herself and (presumably) her allies, making her seem fast. Notably, this power can actually slow down the destruction of a witch's barrier after it's defeated. She even slows down ''her own transformation into a witch''.}}
* [[Undying Loyalty]]: To Oriko.
* {{spoiler|[[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Kirika's fate in the timelines seen in the anime is unknown.}}

== Returning Characters ==
 
This section is only for tropes that appear exclusively in ''Puella Magi Oriko Magica''. See [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)/Characters|here]] for character tropes from the original series.

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
 
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: She was already [[Badass]] in Madoka Magica, but her track was cut short due to Charlotte chomping her. Here? She shows further the extent of her [[Badass|Badassery]] if her track wasn't cut short at all.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|When she and Kyouko discover that witches come from magical girls.}} Ultimately subverted when Yuma gives a [[Rousing Speech]] and brings the two back from the brink of despair.
* [[For Want of a Nail]]: Survived in this timeline because she wasn't showing off to Madoka in her fight against Charlotte.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: "That witch would have killed me if I left my guard down".
* [[Not So Stoic]]: {{spoiler|Has something of a [[Freak -Out]] when she learns where witches come from, but snaps out of it thanks to Yuma.}}

{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
----
* [[Adopt the Dog]]: Though she hadn't yet abandoned her [[Jerkass]] nature at the time ''Oriko Magica'' begins, she finds it in her heart to take Yuma in, acting like a mother to her better than her real mother did.
* [[Big Brother Instinct|Big Sister Instinct]]: Towards Yuma.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: {{spoiler|When she and Mami discover that witches come from magical girls.}} Ultimately subverted when Yuma gives a [[Rousing Speech]] and brings them back from the brink of despair.

----
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Always Save the Girl]]: [[What the Hell, Hero?|Gets called out by Madoka herself.]]}}
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Only appears briefly in volume 1, though her role is expanded dramatically in volume 2.
* {{spoiler|[[Foregone Conclusion]]: She fails to save Madoka, obviously.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Out -Gambitted]]: By Oriko. So Homura thought that killing Oriko would save Madoka? It didn't: Oriko still managed to kill her.}}
* [[Somebody Else's Problem]]: Her reaction to most things. [[Always Save the Girl|As long as they don't affect Madoka, she doesn't care.]]
 
----
 
=== Madoka Kaname ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
----
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Blush Sticker]]
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Makes only a two panel appearance in volume 1, though her role is expanded somewhat in volume 2.
* {{spoiler|[[Doomed Byby Canon]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Impaled Withwith Extreme Prejudice]]: Oriko kills her via shooting a piece of Kirika's witch body out of the barrier, [http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-shoujo-oriko-magica/7/24 which impales poor Madoka in the torso] in front of the horrified Sayaka and Hitomi. When the barrier is lifted, everyone sees what has happened, and Homura is driven to a [[Heroic BSOD]].}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Calls {{spoiler|Homura}} out for {{spoiler|''only'' protecting her and refusing to help Hitomi and Sayaka, among others.}}
{{quote| '''Madoka''': How can you be so cold, {{spoiler|Homura-chan}}? Why are you saving only me? You have such an incredible power, {{spoiler|Homura-chan}}! But if you're going to abandon everyone and run away, '''then you shouldn't save me'''!}}
 
----
 
=== Kyubey ===
[[File:coobie_1309.png|frame]]
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
----
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Bigger Bad]]}}
* [[Power Floats]]
 
=== Sayaka Miki ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
----
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: She doesn't even appear in the first volume.
* [[Heroic Bystander]]: She doesn't become a magical girl here, but does what she can to help.
Line 184 ⟶ 189:
* [[Plucky Girl]]
 
=== Hitomi Shizuki ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
----
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Hitomi didn't know anything about Witches and Magical Girls in the original. In this one, she {{spoiler|witnesses a particularly bloody attack on Mitakihara Junior High, gets caught in a witch barrier with her friends and other students, and then sees Madoka die horribly right in front of her and Sayaka.}} To say the kid's broken by ''that'' is an understatement.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: {{spoiler|Suffers a HUGE one during [http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-shoujo-oriko-magica/6/13 the witch attack] on her school, when she sees the lifeless body of a student inside the magical barrier.}} She doesn't look much better when {{spoiler|she and Sayaka tend to the dying Madoka.}}
 
=== Kazuko Saotome ===
'''A description of the character goes here.'''
----
{{tropelist|Tropes exhibited by this character include:}}
* {{spoiler|[[Doomed Byby Canon]]: Inverted. She lives to the end of the original series, but [http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-shoujo-oriko-magica/5/11 is gruesomely killed] in episode 5 of this manga.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Sacrificial Lamb]] - [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]]}}
* Expy - Very likely to be a reference to a certain other [[Sensei Chan-chan|young female teacher]] {{spoiler|who [[Muv -Luv|suffers a gruesome death in *two* alternate universes.]] }} Considering that {{spoiler|Mami's death scene}} is also a possible reference to the same franchise - and {{spoiler|the manner of that other teacher's death}} - it's not too much of a stretch to see this parallel.
