(巴 マミ Tomoe Mami) Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (Japanese), Carrie Keranen (English)

Mami is a veteran magical girl and a third-year student at Madoka's school. She lives alone in a penthouse after the death of her parents in a car accident, during which she was only able to survive by contracting with Kyubey to save her own life. Her magical abilities revolve around yellow ribbons, which can suspend enemies and be manipulated to produce nearly infinite amounts of Tanegashima-like flintlock rifles, as well as also possessing healing magic. Mami is particularly focused on saving those around her, with a traditionally selfless perspective on the role of magical girl, and has a habit of giving names to her finishing attacks. She had previously been Kyōko's partner but was left alone after Kyōko changed her ideals. Though her outward disposition is cheery and confident, inside Mami feels deeply alone as she has no friends to confide in or support her as she fights. Madoka offers to become her partner and save her from her loneliness, but Mami is subsequently killed by a witch named Charlotte, never knowing the darker truths concerning Soul Gems and origins of witches. In other timelines where she had learned the truth, she had often broken down, in one timeline attempting to kill the others and herself. In the final timeline, Mami is still alive and fights along Homura and Kyouko. In the PSP game, her witch form is a small fairy-like witch named Candeloro.
