#and yeah he'd attack by raising his arm(s) in front of him and spinning round like a fucking ballerina

Taking a break from ArtFight, sooo back to the Madoka AU, and next up is Goodsir :D

(Details under the cut)

As a magical girl: makes his deal with Kyubey after the funeral of David Young. He's emotional, so the phrasing is faulty: "I don't want anyone else to die like he did." Which results in, well, the variety of deaths we see in canon. He eventually realizes the impact he's had, which of course contributes to his despair levels.

As a witch: turns into one during his preparations to poison the mutineers - without noticing. The formation of his Barrier has a creeping lack of abruptness; it envelops the mutineer camp almost tenderly, like a milky fog. Hickey is the first to realize what's happening and summon his own magic.

On the inside, the Barrier is shaped like a conch shell, with empty medicine bottles stuck uselessly in the walls. At the heart of the spiral floats Haagen, the punishing witch, its curly hair spilling like tears from under the pristine executioner mask. Its arms are melded into something between a hug and a saw. It's weighed down by guilt, so it cannot move all the way around the Barrier, instead sending its monkey-like minions to sniff out witches among the visitors.

This one will only attack directly if you come close, but the noxious fumes of its Barrier, like smoke from wet wood, wear intruders down quickly enough. Though Des Voeux and a couple others succumb, Hickey manages to take the witch down and uses its Grief Seed. He also offers it to Crozier later, but Crozier feeds it to Kyubey instead.

A witch is bound to doom as many people as it saved while still being a magical girl. Goodsir doesn't kill many because he didn't manage to save many.
