Character's name: Madoka Kaname
Character's LJ: andsosheprays
Character's canon: Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Brief personality outline of your character:
The Madoka of the third timeline is quite different from the Madoka of the main timeline. The main Madoka is an ordinary girl, with no special powers or attributes; she stands on the sidelines, terrified of the choices her friends make, as things drag in deeper and she can do nothing to help them--But this Madoka is quite different. She is a magical girl. She does possess immense power, and the courage great enough to be able to help her friends.

Generally, this Madoka is stronger in several aspects. Where the Madoka of the main timeline can crumple emotionally very easily, this Madoka stands tall in the face of danger and sorrow.. That doesn't mean she's a steel pole, however--like any human being, like any fourteen year old girl, Madoka will crack if you bend her too far. But the fact is that she's more likely to push her problems to the side when they occur.

Out of the entire cast, Madoka is the most fair and mature. She doesn't throw tantrums and get upset over silly little things, and she treats everyone with the same great amount of kindness. She takes the time to analyze her situations before making a decision, and has a very rational mind--or, at least, as rational as one can be while simultaneously being a magical girl. When the hard truth comes crashing down, Madoka can deal with it--like mentioned before, she's just a teenage girl, but she won't try to deny what's obvious or proved. And she never lies unless she absolutely must.

However, this doesn't mean she's a wuss, or a pacifist. Madoka has power, and she will use it if she must. When Mami killed Kyouko, and almost killed Homura, Madoka acted quickly and killed Mami to prevent further damage. She does want to avoid unnecessary fighting, but if there must be a fight, she will participate, with all of her strength.

Brief history and background of your character:
Madoka's life before becoming a magical girl is mostly unknown, but mundane. She lived a peaceful life with her parents and her younger brother. They had a nice home, a lot of money, and Madoka had a close circle of friends. She was definitely happy. One day, she formed a contract with a small, white, ferret-like creature named Kyuubey. In exchange for saving the life of a fatally injured cat, Madoka became a magical girl and was assigned with the task of fighting witches, distorted and nightmarish creatures. She allies herself with Mami and Sayaka, and one day is approached by a strange girl with glasses named Homura, claiming to be a magical girl herself.

By this period, Homura has reset time twice already, once when Madoka died and once when Madoka became a witch. Madoka quickly makes friends with Homura, like always, but this time is informed directly of the other girl's time-stopping abilities. She tries to tell the group of the true nature behind Soul Gems, but gets shot down by Sayaka. Homura ropes Kyouko, whom Sayaka initially distrusted, into the group and....of course, Madoka welcomes her with open arms. The five grow stronger together, and Homura begins stealing more weapons behind their backs. One day, though, Sayaka's fate in the main timeline happens--she turns into a witch, forcing Kyouko to kill her. Mami witnesses first-hand the true fate of magical girls, and kills Kyouko. She intends to kill Homura and then kill herself, but Madoka intervenes and shoots down Mami with one of her arrows. Somber and shaken, Madoka and Homura go out to fight Walpurgisnacht by themselves.

The girls, for the most part, are successful. They manage to take down Walpurgisnacht completely, with the only damage being surrounding area property destruction. However, both girls wore out their Soul Gems by overtaxing their powers. They both lay on the ground, on the verge of turning into witches, when Madoka takes out a spare Grief Seed she had been concealing. She asks Homura two things, after cleansing her Soul Gem for her: 1) to go back in the past once more, and make sure Madoka never became a magical girl in the first place, and 2) to mercy kill her right then, so she would never become a witch.

Homura does so, and with Madoka dead once more, heads back into the past for the fourth time. Madoka shows no memory of the past timelines (in this case, just #1 & #2) except for fleeting feelings of deja vu.

I'll be taking her from right after her death.

If the character has magic, mutant, or otherwise metahuman abilities, please explain what they are and outline EXACTLY how they function, as their powers may not work due to the nature of the ship or may need to be limited somehow: In magical girl form, Madoka's main weapon is a bow and arrow, capable of firing red and pink energy blasts, which she can summon at will. In addition, due to her status as a magical girl, she can leap higher and is more agile than most, and her body is tougher than most. Injuries do affect her, but with less damage and less pain. She can only be permanently killed if her Soul Gem is shattered, or if she transforms into a witch (from overtaxing her Soul Gem and not cleansing it) and is defeated. Otherwise, her mind will live on and be able to cling to an empty body if her own is destroyed. And to those with the ability, she has an immense storage of magical power within her, mostly untapped.

Non-superhuman special abilities of note: Madoka knows basic first aid and has a proficient grasp of archery.
