Profile

Sayaka is Madoka's classmate and best friend. She is a lively tomboy with strong ideals of love and lawfulness. After helping Madoka rescue Kyubey, she contracts with him to grant her wish to heal the wounded hand of Kyōsuke Kamijo, a young violinist that she is infatuated with and visits daily in the hospital. As a magical girl, Sayaka's weapon of choice is a cutlass, she can produce multiples of them at a time. She also has extraordinary regenerative ability due to the healing nature of her wish. Sayaka insists that her wish is selfless and feels that fighting witches to save people is a bonus, even after witnessing Mami's death. As Sayaka's ideals are put against the reality of her wish's consequences and the stress of fighting, her view of the world is slowly corrupted. She becomes hateful and distrustful towards others, including Madoka, whom she lashes out at and accuses of being selfish. After learning that her soul is no longer attached to her body and that her close friend Hitomi intends to become Kyōsuke's lover, she falls into isolation and refuses all help. As a result of her despair and her refusal to fight witches for Grief Seeds, her Soul Gem becomes a Grief Seed itself and she becomes Oktavia von Seckendorff, an armored mermaid witch with a labyrinth similar to a concert hall, which is destroyed by Kyouko is a sacrficial attack. Despite Madoka reworking the world in the final timeline, Madoka did not want to undo Sayaka's wish she made for Kyōsuke, thus Sayaka ends up disappearing after exhausting her Soul Gem.
