Puella Care
General
A group of Magical Girl Coordinators who travel across the country, both offering their services and teaching their secrets to select Magical Girls who qualify.
- Despair Event Horizon: According to Livia, to be a Coordinator is to wish for utter despair. Even the girls who wished for destructive or deplorable wishes, said wishes are still their 'hope'. Therefore, the Coordinators are those who bring nothing but ruin since the beginning, even to themselves. They usually made their contract during an extreme emotional breakdown, and wished to drag anyone else to the same turmoil as they were.
- Sigil Spam: Their Sigil is engraved on the window in Mitama's shop, and it appears while doing a Fate Weave. In the anime, it also appears whenever two Magical Girls Connect.
- Stage Magician: Their magical girl outfits are themed around this, which seems to be a common theme among Coordinators in general including Mitama. It's especially prominent with Livia.
- Team Switzerland: Puella Care offer their services to anyone who needs them, taking a neutral stance in any conflict that they may run into. Their founder, Livia, considers Mitama a failure to their ideals as she took sides during Kamihama's battle against the Magius, first siding with the Magius and then siding with Iroha and Yachiyo's faction.
- Harming Puella Care Adjusters is also taboo, as well as fighting in any area that they've declared a neutral zone. In Part 2 Chapter 2, Yozuru interrupts a skirmish between the KMU and Promised Blood to tell them that they're on Puella Care property and to please take it elsewhere. Tsuruno deciding to honor their neutrality pays off when Shizuka is grievously wounded later in the chapter and Livia agrees to see to her wounds.
Livia Medeiros
Livia Medeiros
Voiced by: Honoka Kuroki
A Magical Girl who has arrived in Kamihama as a Puella Care (Traveling Coordinator); she's referred to as Mitama's teacher. She has traveled around the country making adjustments and conveying her adjustment techniques to talented girls who can't fight witches on their own. She has a mysterious nature and no one knows her past.
- Ambiguously Brown: She's the first dark-skinned Magical Girl shown in the game. Although her very Portuguese name suggests that she may be from Brazil (which is known to have a significant population of Japanese nationals), it's not known if "Livia Medeiros" is even her real name. Arc 2 Chapter 11 confirms that her mother was Brazilian.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: It's implied that her concept of 'neutrality' makes her often misunderstood. Just because she teaches Yozuru to regain her empathy and saves Sudachi from her trauma, it doesn't mean that she's doing it out compassion - it's just the situations simply align to do so. Both Yozuru and Sudachi are somewhat aware that Livia has no love for them and has been using them for her own plans. Livia describes herself as "stopping at the red light not because red light means stop, but because green light means go". Arc 2 Chapter 11 reveals the true reason for her mindset - she wished to become evil itself, therefore misfortune will befall anyone she shows kindness and compassion to. Nevertheless, she still falls under the scope of a Well-Intentioned Extremist given her goals have the aim of solving the entropy issue and remove the need for magical girls - but still goes on to notify she does it out of mere convenience.
- Born Unlucky: Where to start... Her mother is AWOL in Brazil, her father gets gruesomely crushed by a hydraulic press (and she even gets to see his mangled corpse), she gets relocated in a different facility where she is bullied in school and chided by her teachers, gets kidnapped and sold off to a human trafficking group, only to be nearly disposed of when she suffers from lifelong injuries.
- Chekhov's Gunman: She was the mentor Mitama mentioned at the end of her side story.
- Disappointed in You: She's not shy in expressing her disappointment towards her protege Mitama when she learns that the latter took sides during the Magius conflict in Arc 1 when as a Coordinator, she was supposed to stay completely neutral regardless of reason.
- Early-Bird Cameo: She first appeared in Mitama's "My True Nature Is..." Memoria Card as a silhouette long before she makes her official debut in Arc 2 of the Main Story.
- Hope Springs Eternal: Like many other magical girls, (and ironically despite her weary outlook), Livia actively encourages whoever she’s speaking to in her sidestory to not give up hope, not to find strength in a curse, and lend a shoulder to other magical girls, lest they share her fate.
- The Mentor: She passes on her knowledge of adjusting to any "cursed" Magical Girl who has the potential to become a Coordinator like her. She was the one who taught Mitama everything she knows in the past.
- Mysterious Past: As stated in her description, not a lot is known of her background before she became a Puella Care. Even in her sidestory, she sidesteps Kagome's question about that topic, and we end up learning absolutely nothing of her backstory. Players had to wait until the release of Arc 2 Chapter 11 to finally shed light on Livia's (particularly gruesome) past.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Following her escape from the pseudo-hospital-slaughterhouse facility, she's relocated to another orphanage, and in her new school, meets a teacher who, for once, doesn't treat Livia like a reject and actually extends a hand to her to help her out. Their bond strengthens, Livia slowly opens up to her, and her counseling soon enough inspires her to start to do the same... That is, until various students start self-harming and seeing back their abusive family, which causes her to take distance again... And then she witnesses the only person who showed a modicum of sympathy towards her get crushed by a stray truck wheel the day of her marriage. Following that, Livia ends up concluding her wish did not twist her personality to be evil, but rather become a Walking Wasteland, and gives up on good and evil altogether.
- Older Than They Look: Her design wouldn't make you think twice about the fact she's an adult, but you probably wouldn't assume that she's been a magical girl for at least 20 years. In the Night Fairytale ～You Were At the Water's Edge～ event, she mentions having met a magical girl capable of giving life several decades ago.
- Stage Magician: It fits given she was training to become part of a circus troupe after being forcibly kidnapped by human traffickers. She knows a variety of illusionist tricks which she incorporates into her magic.
- Team Mom: She is a somewhat stern example to Yozuru and Sudachi, being the one who is teaching them how to be Coordinators, as well as trying to help Yozuru relearn empathy and help Sudachi in trying to communicate. She presumably did the same for Mitama, when she was learning under her.
- Team Switzerland: Invoked; she serves any party and reveals that all Coordinators are supposed to be completely neutral in their dealings. She actually brands Mitama to be a failure and a traitor to their cause because she ultimately chose sides in the war against the Magius.
- Ultimately averted, as its revealed that Livia is working with Kyubey to facilitate the Kimochi war for unknown reasons, as well as trying to instigate conflict between the West and Eastern wards again.
- Token Minority: While it's not stated that she's from a different country, she is said to not be Japanese. "Medeiros" is also a common surname in Brazil.
- Then Let Me Be Evil: Her wish, verbatim. It stems from her past: Livia was a girl constantly cursed with misfortune with people all around her badmouthing her, twisting her words, abusing her and so on. At some point, she even gets kidnapped by a human trafficking business and gets the idea that she is evil hammered in her head, since she cannot fit in with the "good" people she so despises. When she lets said business down due to suffering lifelong injuries, and is essentially sent to a slaughterhouse to be disposed of, she believes she wasn't evil enough to thrive there; and thus makes the wish to Kyubey to become evil itself.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Her reason for trying to re-instigate the conflict between the East and West wards are pretty much the reason why Kyubey dragged all the different factions into Kamihama in the first place - to farm as much energy as possible to put a halt to entropy by having everyone unleash their doppels over and over, and therefore eventually remove the need for magical girls in the first place. When Kyubey found that plan inefficient, Livia moved to a plan B, which revolved around manipulating Kagome into gathering a myriad of bonds all over the city so that the karmic energy she would release from being a witch would skyrocket and eventually solve the entropy problem on its own (sounds familiar? Madoka also had this going for her in the original series); even Livia herself admits she'd rather they followed through with plan A, though.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: She's still travelling the world for the sake of the universe. She runs a kitchen car whenever she runs low on money.
- Wingding Eyes: Her eyes on her battle sprite when heavily injured or struck with status ailments are a mass of swirly black dots
. When using her Doppel, her eyes become blank white plates.
Yozuru Sasame
Yozuru Sasame
Voiced by: Kurumi Wakamatsu
- Anti-Gravity Clothing: Her belt doesn't seem attached to anything.
- Between My Legs: Inverted during her transformation. Everything about it happens outside of the thigh window in her pants, the latter serving as a vanishing point as the camera pans out.
- Bifauxnen: Androgynous and elegant, her description calling her "gentlemanly."
- Breaking Old Trends: Notably the first Void/Null Magicial girl to be offensively oriented.
- Broken Ace: She's a great piano player, in tip top physical shape, has mommy-tier cuisine and is a pleasant person towards everyone she talks to. Then you learn all these things minus the last one is due to her strict upbringing where she had so many extracurricular activities that what free time she has, she might as well spend it on sleeping; And the latter part is because she's relearning to be kind after throwing that emotion away through her cursed wish, following the death of her mother.
- Cane Fu: Employs a walking cane as her primary weapon.
- Disappeared Dad: While her mother had always present in her life, Yozuru never once talk or care about her father. Based on her mother's conversation about getting money from her father, it's implied that Yozuru is a bastard, and her mother is someone's denounced mistress.
- Education Mama: Her mother was incredibly demanding of her, slotting her in tons of extracurricular activities and motivating her to keep herself busy so she could always get top marks in everything. Turns out, however, that all of this was part of an elaborate scheme just so Yozuru could keep herself busy enough that she would never have to come back to an empty apartment and feel the weight of loneliness, as her mother barely had enough time to come back home and properly take care of her whatsoever.
- Emotionless Girl: Interestingly, her wish to kill her kindness and empathy is not the thing that caused her current emotionless state; her wish instead made her into someone with absolutely no restrain. She was violent and foul-mouthed because she had no attachment to anyone to stop herself from lashing out at anytime. Her current state is the result of her attempt to relearn from zero emotions other than petulant rage.
- Former Teen Rebel: The rebellious part hardly lasted, though. See "My God, What Have I Done?".
- Glass Cannon: Hoo-hoo, boy. The ability to demolish just about anything with a Blast Puella combo while also being capable of being demolished by anything in 2-3 hits makes her perhaps the most jarring example of this. Despite Ashley's recent arrival onto JP with her 4 Blast discs and Lightning Bruiser stats, Solo Yozuru in Mirrors is still commonplace anyways because she gets a personal memoria that passively gives her a massive increase to both her Attack and Blast damage, and combined with her Void Element to hit everything for neutral damage, ensures that her Blast Puella combos straight-out nuke everything but the tankiest of foes. Solo Yozurus on Defense are rather easy to defeat on Turn 1, though - provided her player isn't wicked enough to have slotted Damage Cut or Evade memoria on her, that is... It's so egregious even her 2021 Magical Girl Sticker makes fun of it.
- Lack of Empathy: Invoked this through her wish, killing her kindness to keep on living with her grief. This gets problematic as a coordinator; Livia notes that with a lack of kindness comes a complete inability to understand other people's feelings, which is usually perceived as the bread and butter of any good Coordinator. It's to the point Livia crafted Yozuru a guidebook which is easily summed up as 'How to People', integrated as part of her training regimen among Puella Care. Also comes with a No Sense of Humor additive; She tries to tell a joke to defuse a rising conflict between Mifuyu and two Promised Blood Girls, and all she ends up doing is making grimaces to everybody. Somehow, though, that works.
- Missing Mom: Her mother was run over by a truck, though the wording heavily implies she did this to herself on purpose.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Frustrated at the fact her mother put so much pressure on her, Yozuru eventually ends up rebelling against her and her demanding behavior; However, the shock it inflicts on her mother is so extreme that it plunges her into a massive depression, and later she dies in such a way that it might as well be suicide. Yozuru only finds out about her mother's true intentions after finding her Secret Diary where she documented everything about Yozuru's growth as a person. The shock she subsequently receives herself is bad enough for her to practically follow her mother in death. She barely manages to escape this thanks to Kyubey, though.
- Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: It's ends up zigzagged. For the entire first part of Yozuru's sidestory, Mifuyu's spying on her, believing her and Puella Care's other members hide nefarious motives beneath their neutrality. Needless to say, she's positively stunned at how gentle-hearted, if just a little awkward, Yozuru is with absolutely everyone she meets. However, the later parts of the sidestory reveal Yozuru had erased her emotion and empathy. The Yozuru Mifuyu saw is her consciously trying to be more human.
- Took a Level in Badass: In "Battle Museum" story, it's shown that when Yozuru was still a new magical girl, she struggled a lot just to defeat a Witch. In the present, she's so intimidating that her sheer presence cowed anyone with "bright" ideas to attack Puella Care.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: As she works on relearning kindness she's become popular as a host, but she really just wants to be a childcare worker.
Sudachi Sawa
Sudachi Sawa
Voiced by: Asuka Shioiri
A Magical Girl who has arrived in Kamihama as a Puella Care (Traveling Coordinator) in a supporting role. She is improving her skills as an Adjustor while being homeschooled. She continues to strive forward and has a friendly personality with a good reputation, but she often depends on her many relatives due to her young age. When an armed man barged into her class and demanded a hostage; Sudachi's classmates offered her up, since she was a loner. Sudachi wished to be saved, and that only she would be saved. As a result, the gunman killed everyone else in her class but her, and the resulting trauma left her unable to speak.
- All of the Other Reindeer: Since she was a loner with no friends, her classmates decided to sacrifice her to save themselves. This backfired hard when Kyubey chose that moment to offer Sudachi a contract, and Sudachi made her wish out of pure spite: instead of herself being sacrificed to save her class, her class was sacrificed to save her.
- Animal Motifs: Bats, with her outfit looking pretty vampiric in inspiration and the protrusions on her head shaped like bat ears.
- The Atoner: Immediately after her wish resolves, she's horrified at what she's done. She considers training as a Coordinator to be part of her atonement.
- Clothing Combat: She fights by extending pieces of her cape.
- Cute Mute: Sudachi can’t speak (normally), but she sure is cute.
- Glacier Waif: Her playstyle is that she can take a lot of hits, she can taunt to get hit a lot, and her MP build up fast each time she got hit. This little girl is a menace to encounter in Mirror, because she's often too tanky to take down fast before retaliating with her Doppel.
- Homeschooled Kids: After the massacre at her school, her family understandably pulled her out of school and began homeschooling her.
- "Not So Different" Remark: An effect of her wish was that the gunman started sympathizing with Sudachi for both being cast aside by their classmates. As the token of camaraderie for his fellow outcast, the gunman kill everyone except her. Needless to say, this horrified her and reinforced her wish for atonement.
- The Unintelligible: Her lines only come out as muffled noises, so Yozuru has to "translate" what she's saying to everyone else. It's later revealed that she can still speak properly using telepathy, but will only do so for people she trusts. Her selective muteness is caused by the trauma of the school-shooting she survived through.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Sudachi and Mikage are best friends. However, they're also little kids, so their friendship sometimes is dotted with quarrels and making ups.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: By confronting and reconciling with her past, she is slowly beginning to recover her voice. Livia and Mikage recently heard her real voice over the phone.
