#I hope to make more pmmm ocs in the future! I have a few ideas but no real solid design concepts

[wyfy-meltdown]

I FINALLY DID IT!!! SHE IS DONE!!! Meet my first Madoka Magica OC: Komoe Mimura!!!

Below the cut is more info about her ♡✧⁠*⁠。

Bio / Base Information

Name: Komoe Mimura

Wish: "I wish I could grant wishes!"

Age: 16

Height: 5'2

Weapon: Magic Wand

Power: Grant Wishes*

Soul Gem: Purple, Rabbit Head Shaped

Witch Name: Velveteen

*Her ability to grant wishes is limited to things that can be created or destroyed.

Ex: she can grant the wish "I wish I had lots of money" but she cannot grant the wish "I wish I was rich" (one implies gaining something while the other implies altering the current reality).

Ex2: she can grant the wish "I wish [Name] would break up with his girlfriend" and/or "I wish [Name]'s girlfriend died" but she cannot grant the wish "I wish [Name] broke up with his girlfriend" and/or "I wish [Name]'s girlfriend didn't exist". (1&2 implies events that can occur in the future, 3 is past tense [meaning it would have already had to happen, thus altering the reality], and 4 would alter reality).

Personality

Design Breakdown

She has a very optimistic outlook and determined personality. She tries her best to get to know everyone, and her soft voice contradicts her upbeat personality. She absolutely loves magical girls to a stalkerish extent: she's willingly gone into witches labyrinths with hopes of meeting magical girls, and has a diary where she keeps all her information on the "magical girl secret world". She's very girly, and loves feminine things: dresses, long hair, and cuteness are all things she adores. Her favorite pastimes are watching tv, sketching, and hanging out with friends. Often times she can come off as pushy or intimidating (especially to girls she scouts to be magical girls) but she genuinely means no harm, and doesn't ever realise she's acting poorly. She takes great pride in being a magical girl, and her current goal is to thank the magical girl that saved her.

Trivia

I'm not sure if I fully like the design (mainly the waistcoat thing, and I should've given her gloves) but I'm happy I managed to actually draw her. This was a very self-indulgent design (not a sona though) and so I included ungodly amounts of ruffles and pastel pink!

Underneath her skirt is layers and layers of ruffles to the point her legs are not visible, and she has a double sleeve situation (also with ruffles underneath). The teacup & saucer hat is... rough, but I loved the concept and wanted to include it! Her rabbit ears are attached to a headband which has a ribbon on it. Her soul gem is located on her monocle chain; the alternate locations were the rabbit ear headband, one of the hairtie ribbons, and an anklet. I went with heterochromia because I could not decide whether I liked the pink or purple more (I also debated on mint, but I wanted to keep the colour palette analogous), I also struggled with very light purple vs very light pink for the hair; and went with very light pink (but I'm not sure how I feel about it). Those hair flicks near the top of her head aren't real rabbit ears, but are meant to resemble floppy rabbit ears. I wanted her overall design to invoke the feeling of "magical girl" strongly, and I hope I succeeded in that!

Her magic wand shots a magic beam(?) thing from the top (between the ears) and functions like a whip; the hand-guard is based off a rapier's, and the bottom has a sphere that looks like a rabbit tail. Her soul gem features a rabbit head on top, and a clock face (sorta) as the bottom symbol. ALSO! I promise her purple eye is the same colour as the soul gem, the glass shading from the monocle makes the eye look lighter!

Her original wish was "I wish to be a magical girl!" but Inkyuu (the resident incubator) told her to pick a different wish since she'd become a magical girl regardless

She was aware of magical girls before being approached by Inkyuu due to being saved from a witch by a magical girl; she has gained an obsession with magical girls as a result

She uses her power of granting wishes to scout potential magical girls for Inkyuu

Her white rabbit theming is because she leads girls down the rabbit hole of becoming magical girls (the day I stop using metaphors and symbolism for everything is the day I die)

[Adding onto above] She has no particular love of rabbits or Alice in Wonderland, but thinks her theming is cute and so plays into it

She'd either be a mentor figure or an antagonist or possibly both

She either knows the secret of witches or if she found out about the secret of witches she'd probably be supportive of incubators (maybe even intentionally becoming a witch[?])

She hasn't been a magical girl for very long, but is very enthusiastic about it so she's fought many witches

She's very close with Inkyuu and carries him(?) around with her

❧ More Info On Wishes

Wish - To feel or express a strong desire or hope for something that is not easily attainable; want something that cannot or probably will not happen

Hey everyone! The PD Mod team has been excited to open applications and to see everyone’s creativity starting to form some ideas! Before we get too far into the apping process, we wanted to address some generalized questions about how Wishes work and what we will/will not allow for the sake of the group! Generally, we don’t want to stifle anyone’s creativity, but we have some very general rules we’re going to try and follow for the general roster.

Our 2 main ground rules for the results of wishes and their accompanying abilities are that:

Wishes will not affect other Magi, as we want to avoid forcing other muns to RP a certain way and cause OOC difficulties in that department.

Wishes will be reasonably limited in power and effect. This means that your character’s wish’s effects largely won’t be capable of rewriting universal laws or constants, such as human nature or space/time itself. 

With the second point, this is partly due to the fact that we are in a RP Group and need to maintain some level of balance between the cast, as well as the fact that Incubators won’t cause changes of that scale unless they believe the pay off for them will be worthwhile. Chuubey always wants the “larger stick” in Soul Gem Contracts, as it were. That being said: given the nature of this game, we’re giving the Mastermind more leeway with their wishes. Antagonist applicants are encouraged to put two wishes down (perhaps a nerfed version of their original wish) in case they aren’t selected as a position that wish would apply to. So while wishes like Homura’s are very interesting from a narrative standpoint, the Mods will need to keep some sort of hold on these effects for the sake of keeping some order in a rp group setting. However! That isn’t to say that we aren’t open to more experimental wishes!

Apping using Homura’s wish from PMMM canon, for example, would be difficult for us to implement as a general wish, as she can bend time to her will whenever she wants for as long as she wants. The Incubator from canon, Kyuubey, only granted her extreme wish because he thought it was futile… as Madoka could never be saved from her fate to turn into a Witch. This being said, wishing to save someone from death will not save them from their fate forever. While your ocs will not know this while making their wishes, death is a law of the universe that cannot be completely avoided or circumvented. As in canon, those who are fated to die will do so even with the use of a Magus’s wish, often soon after the wish appears to save them. This varies somewhat, as explained by Mami’s wish below. (Furthermore, a more reasonable time travel wish, at least in this game, would involve an ability where one could rewind a few seconds with a need to recharge)

For clarity, I’ll go over some canon wishes and why they’re solid examples. General spoiler warnings for the series below!

1. Sayaka Miki’s Wish: 

In the Puella Magia series, Sayaka wishes for her crush’s arm to be healed after a terrible accident that renders him unable to play the violin. As if by magic, his arm heals instantly. This is doable, as it’s a non-lethal injury, but would not have healed the same had Sayaka not intervened. 

As a side-effect, the wish granted Sayaka the ability of fast recovery. The downside was that it wasn't really what Sayaka wanted; she wanted her crush to heal and also for her to be recognized for doing that… and be loved by him in return. Instead, Kyubey only heals her crush’s arm, and her crush starts to date another girl. (As a side note, those who make wishes for the sake of others may have that person represented in their design or magic motif). This truly represents the genie-like nature of Magi wishes, as they’re often not quite what the Magi wanted.

2. Mami Tomoe’s Wish: (cw: car crashes) 

Mami’s entire family is caught in a car crash, killing them instantly and leaving her on the brink of death. Kyuubey appears at the critical moment, asking if she wishes to be saved. So, her wish is literally “I don’t want to die!” While this does save her from immediate death, as a Magi, her death is certain in the future (and would give Kyuubey much more energy, as Magi are expected to turn into Witches eventually). So, it’s permissible in this universe. 

Given that she wishes for her life to be saved, Mami has notable combat powers. Her ribbon weapon is related to “wanting to be tied to life,” as she was about to perish (don’t look at me, that fact’s canon and it’s from a magazine interview).

3. Kyoko Sakura’s Wish (cw: religion, alcohol, domestic violence?) 

She’s one of the few wishes that the exact phrasing is known for: "I wish that everyone would listen to what [my] Father has to say." In her past, Kyoko's father preached at a church, though many would not listen to his passionate but radical ideas. So, Kyoko wished for others to listen to her father’s preachings. As if by magic, he started attracting followers, and the pew of his church were full. For a time, they were happy. 

However, once her father learns that his followers are spurred by magic and not by faith, he claims that it’s the work of the devil and snaps. In the end, he succumbs to alcoholism and kills everyone in their family aside from Kyoko. While the negative effects of her wish take longer to show than Sakaya’s wish, this one also shows the genie-like properties of Magi wishes.  

Although the anime never gets into this, Kyoko does get magic related to her wish, but seals it away due to the trauma caused by the effects. The show’s writer states that “because she got her wish of ‘getting people to listen" while in fact it was something like charming or hallucination, Kyoko got magic related to those things. However, because she lost her family due to her wish, she totally negated those powers with her subconscious mind.” As such, she only uses physical attacks. 

And keep in mind this quote from the anime: 

"Miracles aren’t free, you know. If you wish for hope, an equal amount of despair will be rained down upon you, too. That’s how everything stays in equilibrium…….. and the world’s balance doesn’t get disturbed."
