Kaname Madoka seems to be a completely normal girl. She is cheerful and simple, with a casual interest in love letters and looking cute that doesn't go too over board. Her personality as a normal girl was quite simple and plain, causing her to come off as weak. But Madoka actually has a lot of inner strength. She just needs help seeing it for herself. And this Madoka, who is a magical girl fresh out of Mayfield, can finally see her worth and apply it.

In all timelines, Madoka is a happy person. She is surrounded by a loving family and happy friends. She may be a bit quiet, but she always does her best to be friendly and caring. In the first timeline, Madoka does not hesitate to befriend the shy transfer student Homura right away. Mami and her quickly become friends, to the point that Madoka is promising to not leave Mami alone. Madoka never once labels Kyoko as an enemy, and is quick to befriend her when the chance arises. Even in the case of Homura in the most recent timeline, Madoka tries to be friendly towards her. Madoka even continues talking to Kyuubey, even once shit has seriously hit the fan because of him. In an alternative setting, this means that Madoka is very open to friend making. Madoka the magical girl is especially friendly and open, because she is confident in her social interactions and eager to get to know people--- as opposed to the shyer Madoka, who did not have the confidence to always push her desired relationships forward.

A lot of her kindness may be because Madoka is kind and naive. Homura makes a point to state to Madoka that she is naive, and that her kindness is a danger to herself. Because of this naivety, Madoka did not truly recognize any of the dangers of Puella Magi until she was slapped in the face with them. She was told it was dangerous, but did not take it seriously until Mami died, for example. During the instance of Mami's death, we also see some of Madoka's denial; Sayaka sobs tears of acceptance while Madoka just stares in disbelief, and doesn't truly come to terms with Mami's death until the next morning. Madoka wants to believe in the good in everyone and everything and will rarely reach a pessimistic conclusion without some hard evidence.
In a world where Madoka contracts and pursues a happy magical girl journey where Puella Magi fight for justice, Madoka is able to finally recognize that she was a child and come to terms with the harsh reality of her canon. This is because, while she is a naive person who does not actively seek to find things wrong with life, she is not so stupid that she cannot learn from experience. Applied to Mayfieldoka, this means that she will be able to wrap her head around being in a horrific setting. She has spent a year in Mayfield and learned the consequences of not preparing herself for tragic events. She may now face the fact that things could go wrong, but she does not do so pessimistically. Despite her horror game-induce paranoia, Madoka at least confidently believes that she can overturn bad situations and reach a happy outcome.

Madoka also has a strong, naive belief in everyone getting along and working together. This belief inspires her to want to make a Puella Magi duo with Mami, to ask Homura to look after Sayaka, and to never hate Kyoko, even after she engages in a life or death battle with Sayaka. She does not take sides in a conflict either; even when Sayaka was being attacked by Kyoko, Madoka could not bring herself to side with her best friend or Kyoko. In one timeline, when Homura reveals the truth of Soul Gems, Madoka never directly aligns herself with Sayaka's belief that it is a lie, even though her actions suggest she doesn't believe Homura. Again and again, Madoka is very sensitive to all sides of a situation, and supports peace and dissolving conflict without violence.
Even when Madoka does form an opinion of her own, she is not always confident in it. She tries to get Sayaka to consider befriending Kyoko, but when Sayaka shoots that down Madoka just shuts up and starts rethinking things all over again. Madoka constantly looks for compromise and does not want to have a conflict with anyone, and is weak-willed enough to sometimes bend her opinion to avoid trouble.Madoka the magical girl is also shown to compromise in social situations: she may be absolutely confident in battle, but she was still staying neutral between Sayaka and Homura.

This is because Madoka is an observant person, who typically ends up watching rather than acting. That much should be plain and obvious, as observing is her entire role in the show. Though she may seen like a clueless ditz based on all of the clueless faces she makes, Madoka is the type of girl to think things through. She is slow and uncertain with her decision making, and as a result, rarely commits to a decision. This has already been hinted at, because Madoka does not pick sides in a conflict, but just thinks both sides through and never says who she supports. She tends to sit on the fence throughout the whole show, her biggest decisions being to run away.
Madoka doesn't observe and decide alone either. When she's trying to decide something, Madoka will not hesitate to talk to people about it. She is generally in control of her thoughts and emotions, or at least trying to be. When Mami dies, Madoka avoids a major emotional break down until she is about to talk it through with Sayaka. Until she has a chance to deal with them properly, she makes an effort to put a lid on her feelings and act normally. This Madoka has largely gotten over her habit of running away, but that does not mean that she won't think things through very deeply and sometimes struggle with her choices. But she no longer struggles as much with being confident, but with wanting to make the absolute best decision.

The decisions Madoka makes without talking to people are driven by strong emotions, generally fear. She stops the group suicide impulsively because she doesn't want to die, she throws away Sayaka's Soul Gem on impulse to stop Sayaka from fighting, and she shoots Mami because she's scared of seeing someone else die. It's only after Madoka commits these acts that she realizes what she's done and she usually crumbles under the pressure and confusion following her decisions, while seeming confident until they are completed. It might also be noted that her impulsive decisions were all made in an effort to protect someone; Madoka will think for eons about herself, but will act quickly to prevent someone else from getting hurt.

In all of the timelines Homura experiences, Madoka has died because she wanted to protect people as a Puella Magi. In one timeline, she even asks Homura to destroy her Soul Gem, essentially destroying Madoka's soul, rather than allow her to become a witch and hurt people. Even when Madoka is laying there dying, she is thinking about the fact that she wants to protect people. When Madoka makes her miraculous wish, it makes it impossible for her to exist and sets her in line to absorb suffering for the rest of eternity, but Madoka is completely content as long as she is helping people. Kindness and loving everyone is a huge part of her character.

When she's a Puella Magi, Madoka feels that she is worth something. And when Madoka feels like she's worth the life she's been given, she confidently works to protect it. There is a dramatic difference between the Madoka who prevents the suicide, scared out of her wits and lacking confidence in her ability to save those people, and the Madoka Magica who protects Homura in the first timeline. There's a huge difference in the Madoka who falls to her knees and breaks down when Mami dies in the line of duty, and is consumed by the terror of the witch Charlotte, and the Madoka Magica who looks down at Mami's corpse and Homura before she confidently heads off to fight the killer witch, all in the name of saving those precious to her. Even something as simple as her day-to-day interactions with people can be changed by a boost in confidence; when she is a Puella Magi, Madoka approaches Homura and leads the way to the nurse's office, while talking confidently and cheerfully with her. In another timeline, when she is not a Puella Magi, Madoka follows Homura and performs the same conversation, except this time she is stuttering and unsure. Her shy and timid nature will give way to a more happy ad upbeat girl when she feels good about herself.
In the end, unless Madoka feels confident in herself, she cannot and usually will not act useful, because she's too caught up in the fact that she doesn't think that she can be useful.

Lastly, and possibly most importantly, Madoka is a very pure girl and she is full of hope. It starts in her character design, where Madoka is noted for wearing pure and innocent white stockings, and ends in her purpose in the show. In Puella Magi, the transition from hope to despair gives off energy. And Madoka has the potential to be the strongest Puella Magi with the most hope, and therefore she can become the strongest Witch. This can be seen as the fact that Madoka is able to soak up a lot of despair before her heart breaks from the sadness. Even after all of the terrible things that happen in the show, Madoka still has hope that something good can happen. She believes that she can save Mami from her loneliness, that Homura can work with Sayaka and it'll turn out okay, and even once Sayaka is good and dead, Madoka believes with Kyoko that they can save her soul. Even after Kyoko, Sayaka, and Mami are all dead and Madoka Magica is crying her eyes out, she pulls herself together to fight Walpurgis Night with Homura.

Madoka might cry and break down a lot, but despite all of the tears she sheds, she is a strong girl who does not give up and wants to keep protecting people. She continues to look towards the future throughout the entire series. And when she finally makes her wish, it is to protect the Puella Magi who make a huge sacrifice for their own hope and wishes. Madoka essentially becomes Hope when she makes her wish, which is quite the indication of just how much Hope is in this girl's character.

This particular Madoka Kaname is imported from mayfield_rpg, a jamjar game set in the 1950s. At the time of her arrival, Madoka was a depressed mess: Sayaka had just died and Madoka had passed out while trying to rescue her. She awoke in an American town all of the way back in the 1950s, but by no means did it turn out to be the "better place" that it promised to be.

Mayfield subjected Madoka to many new horrors that she could not have imagined. Though she managed to escape all but one death (of radiation poisoning), Madoka witnessed her new friends dying and suffering repetitively thanks to the town's cruel whims. As a normal girl with no powers she felt powerless to prevent it and could only wait and hope.

That is, until her new CR began to sink in. Madoka made many new friends around her age while in school and they began to build up her confidence. She learned to play basketball and tennis with Yuna and Niou, tried to start a baseball team for Rin, and would frequently bake sweets or sew stuffed animals to celebrate simple birthdays. Madoka began to find small things that she could do to help and would come out of her protected shell more and more often to make sure her new friends were okay. When Accelerator threatened to kill her with a flower (which was traumatic, okay?), Madoka was able to stand her ground and try to reason with him-- something beyond her abilities before Mayfield.

Her new CR was not the only thing to benefit her. Madoka was reunited with her castmates, which was a bittersweet treat for her. Kyouko in particular was quick to confess to Madoka that Sayaka and her had died, and the early timeline Homura accidentally spilled the beans about her time-traveling and promise to the earlier Madoka. And Kyuubey did not show any mercy when revealing to Madoka that she could save the universe, if only she was up to dying for it.
When Mami and Sayaka arrived, Madoka felt it was her duty to make their "afterlife" as happy as possible, and put more effort into protecting rather than being protected. The same could be said for the other Puella Magi, Satomi and Mirai, that Madoka met. She realized that she did not like the cruel cycle of despair in her home world and wanted to change it, so began by at least keeping the girls happy.

Over the course of the game, Madoka and the other trapped characters began to notice odd things about Mayfield. After a person died they were revived in mostly perfect condition, for example, and the NPC "drones" would occasionally break down and cease functioning. It later became apparent through investigation that Mayfield was a virtual reality simulation and that all of the trapped characters were just data clones of their real selves.

Madoka learned this very soon as a canon update to Episode 12 of her canon and watched her friends be torn apart mentally and emotionally by this realization. She, too, had to come to terms with it, though it was not as hard for Madoka as it may have been for others. She had already wiped her existence off the universe and trusted that the "real" Madoka could take care of the "real world." It was her duty, as Virtual Copy Madoka, to take care of the virtual world. Madoka stopped thinking of her Mayfield friends as "Mayfield friends" and accepted that they were truly friends forever. She decided that the people she lived with in Mayfield were also real family and found that she could love them enough to make-up for the pain of never getting to see her non-virtual family.

When the town residents escaped to A Better Place, Madoka was feeling much better about herself. She's still feeling much better. She is now a magical girl, with a fraction of her canon powers, who can protect the town and the people she loves. And even without magic, Madoka understands that she can do little things to help her love shine through and make someone's day. Unfortunately, Mayfield's impact on her has left Madoka with some paranoia that she understands to be illogical; She will not drink milk, she worries about strange events happening around holidays, and she is cautious about highways and bears. But being in a happy and safe environment should help her ease out of her paranoia.

→ Soul Gem: The most important aspect of a Puella Magi is probably their soul gem. It is literally her soul given a physical form. At this canon point, it is also shown to be giant---- so big that it is chilling in outer space and seen about to collide with Earth. Luckily, Madoka's soul gem has also been shown to be scaled down; even in official Ultimate Madoka artwork, she has her soulgem necklace drawn, which supports the idea that she should be able to scale it down. So for RP sake, her soul gem will always be able to fit in her palm.

It has three forms. The first is as an egg-like gem, the second as a small ring, and the third as a decorative gem on her transformation outfit. Her soul gem remotely controls her body, which does not have a soul in it. For this reason, if she is separated from her soul gem then her body will stop moving and resume being a corpse. Her body can also continue moving as long as her soul gem is in tact.
This may seem inconvenient, but it is actually very helpful. Because of the separation of her mind and body, Madoka does not feel pain as strongly as a normal human girl. Her body could be stabbed and she would only feel a fraction of the pain. The general rule is that she cannot feel enough pain to render herself unable to fight. Her body can still give out if it cannot physically function, but Kyuubey suggests her magic would be able to eventually heal that.

Finally, for a normal Puella Magi there would be a danger of their soul gem tainting. This happens if they go too long without purifying it with a "Grief Seed" (or other purification methods). It can also taint if they fall into despair and begin cursing the world around them. If this happens, Madoka will become a witch. Her witch form is Kriemhild Gretchen and is kinda really bad news. She can end the world in less than 10 days at her canon point.

She is essentially a zombie and her body is dead when not close to her soul gem. In the PSP game, when character Sayaka is separated from her soul gem for a few days her body starts rotting. When her soul gem is returned to her, Sayaka is able to control a half-rotted corpse. The same would be true for Madoka.

→ Soul Gem Purification: Madoka wishes to destroy all witches before they are born by her own hand, no matter the timeline or world. This results in her timetravel-teleporting to every magical girl ever before she became a witch and taking their grief, then destroying their soul gem and allowing them to die peacefully.

However, I would like to keep the modification where Madoka doesn't teleport to magical girls. The logic behind this is that the teleportation was possible because Madoka shot millions of pink arrows and those arrows went to their target, bringing a Madoka with them to purify sou gems. Madoka hasn't shot these arrows in Haven, so those arrows cannot land. This gives any Puella Magi magical girls the option of becoming witches if they want. I'd hate to be ruining that chance for other players.

Madoka will be able to purify soul gems by touching them, as she does in the Anime, after physically reaching the girl in question. Her purification power applies only to soul gems, and cannot be used to purify anything else. It also means destroying the soul gem, so it would kill the girl... Obviously, requiring permission and a lot of pre-planning.

→ Magical Girl Transformations: Madoka no longer really has a civilian form, so would spend most (if not all) of her time "transformed." So Madoka is essentially an eternal magical girl. When she does wish to "transform", Madoka becomes the long haired "Ultimate Madoka". This is because of her---

→ Concept Existence: Madoka's wish broke the boundaries of time and space. She was everywhere and no where at once. The universe essentially freaked out and tossed Madoka into a higher plane of existence. This is what allows her to teleport to any girl in any time and any world, allowing multiple Madokas to exist at once to clear multiple soul gems... but at the cost of her human life. Madoka Kaname is never born and never dies. Her mother Junko no longer gives birth to her. No one in her home world remembers her (Except Homura).

Because of this, Madoka's Puella Magi form is her only form. She doesn't have a civilian self anymore because her civilian self was never born. Madokami can be viewed as Madoka's transformation, because she otherwise does not have to "transform" like other magical girls.

However, this is a really complicated concept. I will be playing Madoka as having one solid body. She won't be able to teleport like in canon and there won't be multiple Madokas at any given time, except when she has to destroy her own soul gem.

→ Witch Form: Kriemhild Gretchen is Madoka's witch form. Her wish allows her to destroy any witches, including herself. Therefore, if Madoka's soul gem taints to that point that it is hatching into a witch then a new Madoka will appear to destroy Kriemhild Gretchen. In canon, Kriemhild Gretchen had already hatched and was beginning to set up her witch's barrier when the new Madoka appeared to destroy her. It will be the same in Haven: Madoka will completely hatch into a witch and prepare to wreck havoc, then new Madoka will appear and destroy her.

In the PSP game, Kriemhild Gretchen is capable of one-hit KOs: She kills Kyoko with one attack. She is so powerful that in one timeline Kyuubey predicts she can destroy all of Earth in 10 days. When she hatched in Godoka's timeline, Kriemhild Gretchen was threatening to destroy the entire universe. So if she does hatch, she will be a dangerous opponent (though watered down to not threaten the universe, just the immediate area)... one that Madoka will come destroy as quickly as possible.

→ Magical Powers: Like I mentioned, Madoka fights with a bow and arrow. The arrows she fires are made of magic and are quite powerful. There are canon mentionings of Magical Girls being able to use magic for other purposes, but thy are all super vague. So vague that I am more comfortable omitting them, because they were never explored or defined. Madoka would not want to use her magic for anything but arrows anyway, because she doesn't want to taint her soul gem needlessly.

→ Mayfield Memories: She will remember Mayfield and believe it is real, but find that she was never a clone copy. Madoka will likely begin piecing this together as she questions how a Datacopy can exist outside of a computer, then conclude that she has inherited Clonedoka's memories. So even once she figures it out, she will believed Mayfield is a real place. She will also believe that Clonedoka is still living in Mayfield and they are separate "people".

This won't be shaking her faith. Madoka will not immediately have any reason to believe her home world is in danger without her. She may occasionally worry, but will be able to correct herself. Remember, she's essentially a God now: She exists everywhere and nowhere. Madoka firmly believes her wish has been granted. She'll still be able to focus on Haven and not let her mind stray too much.

This particular Madoka Kaname is imported from mayfield_rpg, a jamjar game set in the 1950s. At the time of her arrival, Madoka was a depressed mess: Sayaka had just died and Madoka had passed out while trying to rescue her.

The same could be said for the other Puella Magi, Satomi and Mirai, that Madoka met. She realized that she did not like the cruel cycle of despair in her home world and wanted to change it, so began by at least keeping the girls happy.

At Madoka's Mayfield canonpoint, she still believes herself to be the real Madoka Kaname and hasn't learned about the data cloning yet. Even if she were to learn about it, a combination of faith and denial would prevent her from believing it was reality.

Kaname Madoka seems to be a completely normal girl. She is cheerful and simple, with a casual interest in love letters and looking cute that doesn't go too over board. Her personality can seem just as simple and plain and Madoka can come off as a weak willed average girl, but the multiple timelines in her story show that Madoka is a stronger person than she thinks she is; she just needs to realize it.

In all timelines, Madoka is a happy person. She is surrounded by a loving family and happy friends. She may be a bit quiet, but she always does her best to be friendly and caring. In the first timeline, Madoka does not hesitate to befriend the shy transfer student Homura right away. Mami and her quickly become friends, to the point that Madoka is promising to not leave Mami alone. Madoka never once labels Kyoko as an enemy, and is quick to befriend her when the chance arises. Even in the case of Homura in the most recent timeline, Madoka tries to be friendly towards her. Madoka even continues talking to Kyuubey, even once shit has seriously hit the fan because of him. Even in Mayfield, Madoka had a sense of kindness and tolerance that helped her to initiate friendships with even the meanest of most anti-social of people.

This may be largely because Madoka is kind and naive. Homura makes a point to state to Madoka that she is naive, and that her kindness is a danger to herself. Because of this naivety, Madoka did not truly recognize any of the dangers of Puella Magi until she was slapped in the face with them. She was told it was dangerous, but did not take it seriously until Mami died, for example. During the instance of Mami's death, we also see some of Madoka's denial; Sayaka sobs tears of acceptance while Madoka just stares in disbelief, and doesn't truly come to terms with Mami's death until the next morning. Madoka wants to believe in the good in everyone and everything and will rarely reach a pessimistic conclusion without some hard evidence.
In a world where Mami does not die, Madoka contracts and pursues a happy magical girl journey where Puella Magi fight for justice, never noticing any signs that things may not be as happy-go-lucky as they seem... until everything comes crashing down. When things get bad, Madoka is able to finally recognize that she was a child and come to terms with the harsh reality. This is because, while she is a naive person who does not actively seek to find things wrong with life, she is not so stupid that she cannot learn from experience.

Madoka also has a strong, naive belief in everyone getting along and working together. This belief inspires her to want to make a Puella Magi duo with Mami, to ask Homura to look after Sayaka, and to never hate Kyoko, even after she engages in a life or death battle with Sayaka. She does not take sides in a conflict either; even when Sayaka was being attacked by Kyoko, Madoka could not bring herself to side with her best friend or Kyoko. In one timeline, when Homura reveals the truth of Soul Gems, Madoka never directly aligns herself with Sayaka's belief that it is a lie, even though her actions suggest she doesn't believe Homura. Again and again, Madoka is very sensitive to all sides of a situation, and supports peace and dissolving conflict without violence.

Though she may seen like a clueless ditz based on all of the clueless faces she makes, Madoka is the type of girl to think things through. She is slow and uncertain with her decision making, and as a result, rarely commits to a decision. This has already been hinted at, because Madoka does not pick sides in a conflict, but just thinks both sides through and never says who she supports. She tends to sit on the fence throughout the whole show, her biggest decisions being to run away. When Mami dies, Madoka runs from the Puella Magi world she's just seen, even though she seemed almost ready to make a choice.
Madoka doesn't observe and decide alone either. When she's trying to decide something, Madoka will not hesitate to talk to people about it. She is generally in control of her thoughts and emotions, or at least trying to be. When Mami dies, Madoka avoids a major emotional break down until she is about to talk it through with Sayaka. Until she has a chance to deal with them properly, she makes an effort to put a lid on her feelings and act normally. When Sayaka contracts with Kyuubey, Madoka takes some time to think it through before she decides to accompany Sayaka on a Witch-Hunt, when she could have immediately asked. She also has many instances of discussing things with her parents and of chilling on the rooftop and talking deep talks with Homura and Sayaka.
When it comes to decision making, it can essentially be said that Madoka is not confident enough to come to her own conclusions. She needs people to talk to her and help steer her towards what she really wants. However, Madoka can act impulsively if she feels backed into a corner.
The decisions Madoka makes without talking to people are driven by strong emotions, generally fear. She stops the group suicide impulsively because she doesn't want to die, she throws away Sayaka's Soul Gem on impulse to stop Sayaka from fighting, and she shoots Mami because she's scared of seeing someone else die. It's only after Madoka commits these acts that she realizes what she's done and she usually crumbles under the pressure and confusion following her decisions, while seeming confident until they are completed. This is seen in her scrambling to run after stopping the suicide, her confusion and self-doubt after throwing Sayaka's Soul Gem, and her mental breakdown after it sinks in that she murdered Mami. It might also be noted that her impulsive decisions were all made in an effort to protect someone; Madoka will think for eons about herself, but will act quickly to prevent someone else from getting hurt.

Madoka's confusion and breakdowns are caused by the simple fact that she is running low on self confidence. Because she doesn't excel particularly well at anything, Madoka often feels useless. Though she tries to cope with her feeling of being burden in small ways, such as supporting friends and becoming the class nurse, she cannot easily shake her lack of self-worth. In Mayfield she began to overcome her self-worth issues in little ways, but she could never deny the fact that she was not extremely helpful. She could bake cakes and make stuffed animals to cheer people up, but was continuously helpless against the horrors. This causes Madoka to become confused easily, makes it harder for her to settle on decisions, and to cry a lot... Generally in private, because Madoka does not want to burden people with concern for her (she shakes off her family's concern when she cries at the table and doesn't have a real emotional cry over Mami until she's all alone).

Her lack of self-worth is only made worse by the fact that Madoka really truly wants to help people. Before the death of Mami, Madoka has almost settled on the idea that her wish is to help people and protect those she loves. In all of the timelines Homura experiences, Madoka has died because she wanted to protect people as a Puella Magi. In one timeline, she even asks Homura to destroy her Soul Gem, essentially destroying Madoka's soul, rather than allow her to become a witch and hurt people. Even when Madoka is laying there dying, she is thinking about the fact that she wants to protect people. When Madoka makes her miraculous wish, it makes it impossible for her to exist and sets her in line to absorb suffering for the rest of eternity, but Madoka is completely content as long as she is helping people. Kindness and loving everyone is a huge part of her character.

Human Madoka has little to no confidence. But Puella Magi Madoka does. When she's a Puella Magi, Madoka feels that she is worth something. And when Madoka feels like she's worth the life she's been given, she confidently works to protect it. There is a dramatic difference between the Madoka who prevents the suicide, scared out of her wits and lacking confidence in her ability to save those people, and the Madoka Magica who protects Homura in the first timeline. There's a huge difference in the Madoka who falls to her knees and breaks down when Mami dies in the line of duty, and is consumed by the terror of the witch Charlotte, and the Madoka Magica who looks down at Mami's corpse and Homura before she confidently heads off to fight the killer witch, all in the name of saving those precious to her. Even something as simple as her day-to-day interactions with people can be changed by a boost in confidence; when she is a Puella Magi, Madoka approaches Homura and leads the way to the nurse's office, while talking confidently and cheerfully with her. In another timeline, when she is not a Puella Magi, Madoka follows Homura and performs the same conversation, except this time she is stuttering and unsure. Her shy and timid nature will give way to a more happy and upbeat girl when she feels good about herself.
In the end, unless Madoka feels confident in herself, she cannot and usually will not act useful, because she's too caught up in the fact that she doesn't think that she can be useful.

This is important to note for Mayfield Madoka, who as previously stated is on the road to becoming confident. In Mitakihara, Madoka could only feel useful by becoming a magical girl. But in Mayfield, Madoka began to meet more and more people who found her kindness useful. She has been playing sports and drabbling in various other hobbies while on a quest for a purpose. Most importantly, Madoka's Mayfield friends have finally gotten it through her head that her life is important to them. Being in Haven, while being horribly traumatic, may also help her to improve her self-image and continue to boost her confidence.

Lastly, and possibly most importantly, Madoka is a very pure girl and she is full of hope. It starts in her character design, where Madoka is noted for wearing pure and innocent white stockings, and ends in her purpose in the show. In Puella Magi, the transition from hope to despair gives off energy. And Madoka has the potential to be the strongest Puella Magi with the most hope, and therefore she can become the strongest Witch. Even after all of the terrible things that happen in the show, Madoka still has hope that something good can happen. She believes that she can save Mami from her loneliness, that Homura can work with Sayaka and it'll turn out okay, and even once Sayaka is good and dead, Madoka believes with Kyoko that they can save her soul. Even after Kyoko, Sayaka, and Mami are all dead and Madoka Magica is crying her eyes out, she pulls herself together to fight Walpurgis Night with Homura.

Madoka might cry and break down a lot, but despite all of the tears she sheds, she is a strong girl who does not give up and wants to keep protecting people. She continues to look towards the future throughout the entire series. And when she finally makes her wish, it is to protect the Puella Magi who make a huge sacrifice for their own hope and wishes. Madoka essentially becomes Hope when she makes her wish, which is quite the indication of just how much Hope is in this girl's character.

Absolutely none! The "huge magical potential" that Kyuubey claims she has is still dormant. Other characters won't be able to "sense it" because it has not been converted from potential to magic yet.

mayfield_rpg was a panfandom jamjar set in a 1950s American town called "Mayfield." Madoka arrived there about a year ago, in the summer of 2011, at her episode 9 canon point. She had recently experienced a lot of shit hitting the canon world fan and felt useless, feelings like were reaffirmed in Mayfield. Her canon mates spoiled later episodes for her, confirming that they had died or been severely traumatized, and eating away at her self-confidence.

As her stay in Mayfield went on, Madoka met many powerful people from other canons and slowly began building her confidence. She learned to play tennis, joined a basketball team, and tried to help start a baseball club for one of her friends. As her dead castmates began trickling into the game, Madoka pulled herself together with the goal of making them happy in their "afterlife."

All of this led to Madoka becoming stronger. Tragedy after tragedy struck, and she learned to pick herself up time and time again. With the encouragement of her new friends, Madoka learned to be someone who helped rather than just watching on. Whether she was offering hugs or baking cookies, Madoka found little things that even a powerless girl like her could do.

Then she canon updated to episode 12. This made Madoka a confident magical girl and got her up to speed with her personality development in Mayfield. Shortly after her update, shit began to hit the fan in Mayfield. It was revealed and confirmed that Mayfield was a virtual reality game and that the residents weren't jamjarred people but data copies of their "real" selves. While many others in Mayfield weren't happy, Madoka took comfort in that fact that this meant the "real" Madoka Kaname was still in "reality", where she was saving magical girls as she had wished. Because of this, Madoka no longer felt any hesitation when committing herself entirely to protecting and saving the people of Mayfield.

At her last Mayfield point, Madoka and the other Mayfield residents had moved to "a better place." Their new town is peaceful and they have been preparing it for living in. She lives with her friends happily and is ready for a peaceful new life... or was. Being moved to Haven will be a bit upsetting, but Madoka will be able to adjust quickly. She knows that her loved ones in both Reality and a Better Place are safe, so she does not need to worry about going home. Her top concern will instead be the residents of Haven.

Kaname Madoka seems to be a completely normal girl. She is cheerful and simple, with a casual interest in love letters and looking cute that doesn't go too over board. Her personality as a normal girl was quite simple and plain, causing her to come off as weak. But Madoka actually has a lot of inner strength. She just needs help seeing it for herself. And this Madoka, who is a magical girl fresh out of Mayfield, can finally see her worth and apply it.

In all timelines, Madoka is a happy person. She is surrounded by a loving family and happy friends. She may be a bit quiet, but she always does her best to be friendly and caring. In the first timeline, Madoka does not hesitate to befriend the shy transfer student Homura right away. Mami and her quickly become friends, to the point that Madoka is promising to not leave Mami alone. Madoka never once labels Kyoko as an enemy, and is quick to befriend her when the chance arises. Even in the case of Homura in the most recent timeline, Madoka tries to be friendly towards her. Madoka even continues talking to Kyuubey, even once shit has seriously hit the fan because of him. In an alternative setting, this means that Madoka is very open to friend making. Madoka the magical girl is especially friendly and open, because she is confident in her social interactions and eager to get to know people--- as opposed to the shyer Madoka, who did not have the confidence to always push her desired relationships forward.

A lot of her kindness may be because Madoka is kind and naive. Homura makes a point to state to Madoka that she is naive, and that her kindness is a danger to herself. Because of this naivety, Madoka did not truly recognize any of the dangers of Puella Magi until she was slapped in the face with them. She was told it was dangerous, but did not take it seriously until Mami died, for example. During the instance of Mami's death, we also see some of Madoka's denial; Sayaka sobs tears of acceptance while Madoka just stares in disbelief, and doesn't truly come to terms with Mami's death until the next morning. Madoka wants to believe in the good in everyone and everything and will rarely reach a pessimistic conclusion without some hard evidence.
In a world where Madoka contracts and pursues a happy magical girl journey where Puella Magi fight for justice, Madoka is able to finally recognize that she was a child and come to terms with the harsh reality of her canon. This is because, while she is a naive person who does not actively seek to find things wrong with life, she is not so stupid that she cannot learn from experience. Applied to Mayfieldoka, this means that she will be able to wrap her head around being in a horrific setting. She has spent a year in Mayfield and learned the consequences of not preparing herself for tragic events. She may now face the fact that things could go wrong, but she does not do so pessimistically. Despite her horror game-induce paranoia, Madoka at least confidently believes that she can overturn bad situations and reach a happy outcome.

Madoka also has a strong, naive belief in everyone getting along and working together. This belief inspires her to want to make a Puella Magi duo with Mami, to ask Homura to look after Sayaka, and to never hate Kyoko, even after she engages in a life or death battle with Sayaka. She does not take sides in a conflict either; even when Sayaka was being attacked by Kyoko, Madoka could not bring herself to side with her best friend or Kyoko. In one timeline, when Homura reveals the truth of Soul Gems, Madoka never directly aligns herself with Sayaka's belief that it is a lie, even though her actions suggest she doesn't believe Homura. Again and again, Madoka is very sensitive to all sides of a situation, and supports peace and dissolving conflict without violence.
Even when Madoka does form an opinion of her own, she is not always confident in it. She tries to get Sayaka to consider befriending Kyoko, but when Sayaka shoots that down Madoka just shuts up and starts rethinking things all over again. Madoka constantly looks for compromise and does not want to have a conflict with anyone, and is weak-willed enough to sometimes bend her opinion to avoid trouble.Madoka the magical girl is also shown to compromise in social situations: she may be absolutely confident in battle, but she was still staying neutral between Sayaka and Homura.

This is because Madoka is an observant person, who typically ends up watching rather than acting. That much should be plain and obvious, as observing is her entire role in the show. Though she may seen like a clueless ditz based on all of the clueless faces she makes, Madoka is the type of girl to think things through. She is slow and uncertain with her decision making, and as a result, rarely commits to a decision. This has already been hinted at, because Madoka does not pick sides in a conflict, but just thinks both sides through and never says who she supports. She tends to sit on the fence throughout the whole show, her biggest decisions being to run away.
Madoka doesn't observe and decide alone either. When she's trying to decide something, Madoka will not hesitate to talk to people about it. She is generally in control of her thoughts and emotions, or at least trying to be. When Mami dies, Madoka avoids a major emotional break down until she is about to talk it through with Sayaka. Until she has a chance to deal with them properly, she makes an effort to put a lid on her feelings and act normally. This Madoka has largely gotten over her habit of running away, but that does not mean that she won't think things through very deeply and sometimes struggle with her choices. But she no longer struggles as much with being confident, but with wanting to make the absolute best decision.

The decisions Madoka makes without talking to people are driven by strong emotions, generally fear. She stops the group suicide impulsively because she doesn't want to die, she throws away Sayaka's Soul Gem on impulse to stop Sayaka from fighting, and she shoots Mami because she's scared of seeing someone else die. It's only after Madoka commits these acts that she realizes what she's done and she usually crumbles under the pressure and confusion following her decisions, while seeming confident until they are completed. It might also be noted that her impulsive decisions were all made in an effort to protect someone; Madoka will think for eons about herself, but will act quickly to prevent someone else from getting hurt.

In all of the timelines Homura experiences, Madoka has died because she wanted to protect people as a Puella Magi. In one timeline, she even asks Homura to destroy her Soul Gem, essentially destroying Madoka's soul, rather than allow her to become a witch and hurt people. Even when Madoka is laying there dying, she is thinking about the fact that she wants to protect people. When Madoka makes her miraculous wish, it makes it impossible for her to exist and sets her in line to absorb suffering for the rest of eternity, but Madoka is completely content as long as she is helping people. Kindness and loving everyone is a huge part of her character.

When she's a Puella Magi, Madoka feels that she is worth something. And when Madoka feels like she's worth the life she's been given, she confidently works to protect it. There is a dramatic difference between the Madoka who prevents the suicide, scared out of her wits and lacking confidence in her ability to save those people, and the Madoka Magica who protects Homura in the first timeline. There's a huge difference in the Madoka who falls to her knees and breaks down when Mami dies in the line of duty, and is consumed by the terror of the witch Charlotte, and the Madoka Magica who looks down at Mami's corpse and Homura before she confidently heads off to fight the killer witch, all in the name of saving those precious to her. Even something as simple as her day-to-day interactions with people can be changed by a boost in confidence; when she is a Puella Magi, Madoka approaches Homura and leads the way to the nurse's office, while talking confidently and cheerfully with her. In another timeline, when she is not a Puella Magi, Madoka follows Homura and performs the same conversation, except this time she is stuttering and unsure. Her shy and timid nature will give way to a more happy ad upbeat girl when she feels good about herself.
In the end, unless Madoka feels confident in herself, she cannot and usually will not act useful, because she's too caught up in the fact that she doesn't think that she can be useful.

Lastly, and possibly most importantly, Madoka is a very pure girl and she is full of hope. It starts in her character design, where Madoka is noted for wearing pure and innocent white stockings, and ends in her purpose in the show. In Puella Magi, the transition from hope to despair gives off energy. And Madoka has the potential to be the strongest Puella Magi with the most hope, and therefore she can become the strongest Witch. This can be seen as the fact that Madoka is able to soak up a lot of despair before her heart breaks from the sadness. Even after all of the terrible things that happen in the show, Madoka still has hope that something good can happen. She believes that she can save Mami from her loneliness, that Homura can work with Sayaka and it'll turn out okay, and even once Sayaka is good and dead, Madoka believes with Kyoko that they can save her soul. Even after Kyoko, Sayaka, and Mami are all dead and Madoka Magica is crying her eyes out, she pulls herself together to fight Walpurgis Night with Homura.

Madoka might cry and break down a lot, but despite all of the tears she sheds, she is a strong girl who does not give up and wants to keep protecting people. She continues to look towards the future throughout the entire series. And when she finally makes her wish, it is to protect the Puella Magi who make a huge sacrifice for their own hope and wishes. Madoka essentially becomes Hope when she makes her wish, which is quite the indication of just how much Hope is in this girl's character.

The "real" Madoka made such a huge wish that she broke the barrier of time and space. Her enormous wish and equal magical power brought Madoka from a human existence to one practically on par with a god. In past self had defeated the most powerful witch in the world with one shot, and this Madoka had more power than that girl. Her wish allowed Madoka to appear to every magical girl in any world or time right as she was about to evolve into a "witch" and destroy her soul gem before it became a grief seed.

This Madoka, however, is only a copy of that Madoka. In Mayfield, all characters start with none of their special abilities or powers. They have to regain them from the post office. Madoka has only regained a portion of her "real" belongings, which means that she only has a fraction of her "real" God-like abilities.

Madoka's regained abilities include...

→ Her Soul Gem: The most important aspect of a Puella Magi is probably their soul gem. It is literally her soul given a physical form. At this canon point, it is also shown to be giant---- so big that it is chilling in outer space and seen about to collide with Earth. Luckily, Madoka's soul gem has also been shown to be scaled down; even in official Ultimate Madoka artwork, she has her soulgem necklace drawn, which supports the idea that she should be able to scale it down. So for RP sake, her soul gem will always be the size of her palm.

It has three forms. The first is as an egg-like gem, the second as a small ring, and the third as a decorative gem on her transformation outfit. Her soul gem remotely controls her body, which does not has a soul in it. For this reason, if she is separated from her soul gem then her body will stop moving and resume being a corpse. Her body can also continue moving as long as her soul gem is in tact. This may seem inconvenient, but it is actually very helpful. Because of the separation of her mind and body, Madoka does not feel pain as strongly as a normal human girl. Her body could be stabbed and she would only feel a fraction of the pain. The general rule is that she cannot feel enough pain to render herself unable to fight. Her body can still give out if it cannot physically function.

Finally, for a normal Puella Magi there would be a danger of their soul gem tainting. This happens if they go too long without purifying it with a "Grief Seed" (or other purification methods). It can also taint if they fall into despair and begin cursing the world around them. if this happens, Madoka will become a witch. Her witch form is Kriemhild Gretchen and is kinda really bad news. She can end the world in less than 10 days at her canon point. Luckily! Madoka has~~~

→ Soul Gem Purification Powers: This is a product of Madoka's wish. In canon, Madoka is able to teleport to any Puella Magi who is about to turn into a witch and purify their soul gem. However, this is because she shot time traveling Magical Madoka arrows in her canon. Those arrows have not been shot in Haven, so the teleporting will not apply. Instead, Madoka will have to physically reach a Puella Magi and purify their soul gem by hand. This means that she will not have a 100% success rate, giving any Puella Magi characters in Haven the option of becoming a witch. I'll set up a permission's list.

In the case of Madoka's soul gem, if it is about to hatch into a witch then a second Madoka would appear and destroy the first. The only time she can do this is to prevent herself from becoming a witch. It might be noted that in canon, Kriemhild Gretchen had actually physically hatched before she was destroyed. There may be a short lag period where Gretchen attacks people before a new Madoka destroys her.

→ Her Magical Girl transformation: She actually has two. Madoka's Ultimate form is never fully explained in canon, but she is seen to be able to transform to her "usual" Puella Magi self and then to Godoka. In RP, Madoka will only pull out her Ultimate form if she feels it's appropriate. Otherwise, she'll prefer transforming into her first form. There isn't really a power difference between them. Just outfits and hair.

→ Magical Powers: Madoka fights with a rose-themed bow by firing magical pink arrows. The drama CDs imply that Madoka can also do other things with her magic (she makes Homura run fast in PE) but since that's never fully explained in canon I will not be using her magic for anything but fighting with arrows. Madoka is super powerful, but I will be watering down her powers for the sake of roleplay. When she uses magic, Madoka's soul gem gets a small taint.

→ Soul Gem
→ Rose Bow
→ School Uniform

Water was an essential part of any life. Whether it was in Mitakihara Town or Mayfield, Madoka knew that water was important. So it was the same in Haven and worth the risk. Madoka carried a bucket in one hand and her rose bow in the other, fully transformed and cautious as she made her way to the well.

She knew her new room mates would have happily done this themselves, but felt it was more appropriate for her. Her soul was encased in its soul gem and her magic would help her to protect herself. If something happened then she would be least likely to be bothered by it. That, and she knew she wouldn't be able to bear waiting for her room mates to return. She'd have worried and eventually gone after them.

Madoka looked down the well and set the bucket in place, taking a deep breath before proceeding to draw out some water. Even now, with her unable to protect them if something happened, Madoka was worried. "I need to get the water back quickly... please be okay, everyone."
