Name: Akame Natsuko
Age: 16
Affiliation: The Hero Brigade
Wish: "I wish to be cool just like my big sister!"
Soul Gem Color: Crimson
Powers:
Akame’s magic is not as flashy or as extravagant as her fellow Magical Girls, which bears in part some irony given her wish. But these are only her private thoughts on the matter as her peers are often left baffled by the nature and manifestation of her powers. Akame sacrifices magical prowess in exchange for an incredibly enhanced physique, bolstering up her strength, endurance, speed, and durability all around.
Secondly, she is followed around by a constant cloud of rose petals wherever she goes. She can use these petals as razor edged knives for projectiles or as bombs to detonate. The number of roses do not decrease as she fights, giving her an endless supply of projectiles in battle. Aside from this though and her increased physical nature, she is not able to use her magic for much else.
Weapon:
Akame's weapon comes in the form of dual cutlasses each stained the color of blood. As her magic goes mostly into improving her physique, these blades hold no special nature to them aside from being regular swords. Even so, her drastic increase in speed and power more than make up for her lack of magic, giving her the edge to cut down foes before they can react accordingly.
Personality:
Bright, bubbly, and cheery, Akame is the near-perfect poster girl of what a Magical Girl should be. She’s always there to support her teammates firsthand and will never back down in defending them. As such, it’s not hard to guess her actions sometimes as Akame will try to follow the morally correct path as much as she can, to the point of appearing naïve.
She does become self-conscious at her own nature however, always worrying if her personality can come across as annoying or off-putting. Even so, she is a firm believer in a positive mindset and will always put up a smile for others even if she doesn’t want to. She likes to think she’s come to terms with being a Magical Girl and if she’s going out, she’ll at least do it with a smile.
Bio:
Not much can be said for Akame’s life before becoming a Magical Girl. In fact, she doesn’t remember much about those times aside from the fact that she was incredibly unhappy. Unhappy and bored. Always living in the shadow of her older sister, Akame felt she had to compete with her in some way to feel self-worth. The worst aspect was that she often agreed with what others said of her, Akame feeling like she was an inadequate sibling.
So when she found out her beloved older sister had become a Magical Girl, she jumped at the chance in a vain attempt to be brought to equal ground. The Contractor did not hesitate in granting her wish and gifting unto her new magical powers. And although her older sister greatly opposed this notion, the deed had been done. That was nearly two years ago.
These days Akame has grown a little smarter and aims to train new Magical Girls. Her relationship with her sister has admittedly grown more unstable in all this time but she made her choice a long time ago. Now she’s devoted her life to hunting down the Primordials of her precious Miso City and defending the future for those yet to come.
Or so she likes to think.

Name: Haku Asakura
Age: 17
Affiliation: The Order
Wish: "I wish to be faster. Faster than anyone else!"
Soul Gem Color: Yellow
Powers:
Haku’s power revolves around the control of electricity, specifically in the form of lightning. Out of battle she is able to utilize it through mundane means such as discharging the lights in an area for a short amount of time or giving her Magical Girl friends a static shock as a prank. Though her power truly shines in the thick of combat.
As a Magical Girl, Haku is able to bend and concentrate electrical power into bursts of energy or applying it to her spear in giving it a sharper edge. Though her strongest ability is seen through her usage of forcing electrical power to pass right through her and spike her own cells, giving her an enhanced physique in strength and speed. As such, she is considered the fastest Magical Girl alive, next to Akame herself.
Yet there are drawbacks to her powers for she can only manipulate that which already exists, unable to create her own electricity. Furthermore, her power to increase her physique puts great strain on her body. If used for too long, she runs the risk of burning out her own nerve endings, scorching them forever.
Weapon:
Haku’s weapon of choice is a pronged spear that mainly serves as a conductor to her own electrical magic. As such, her main tactic is applying electricity to the weapon directly in order to give its blade an extra cutting edge. The spear will also crackle with sparks and outright shock others into submission, making it only usable by Haku.
Personality:
Soft-spoken but certainly not one to be pushed around, Haku is often seen adjusting her glasses and coldly judging others from a distance. According to some, she used to be a lot more accepting before her days as a Magical Girl, but Haku neither confirms nor denies these notions. She would prefer to watch events unfold from an outside perspective, make her own conclusions, and then decide on the best course of action.
Regardless, there is one person who she is often shown to be open to and that is her fearless leader, Erika Natsuko. She holds nothing but respect and admiration for the other girl and is often annoyed by Akame’s idealistic ways or her ignorance behind the sacrifice of Erika’s actions. Even so, Haku fully realizes that the two sisters share a bond that she can never interfere in and often can’t help but hold resentful thoughts towards the both of them. Yet despite this, she shows undying loyalty to not only her team, but to Erika in particular.
Bio:
Much like most Magical Girls, Haku’s life before being endowed with magical power was nothing short of average and normal. What can be noted from this is the fact that she holds the title of Miso High’s fastest female on the school track team. Yet there was a time when that title was often battled for, a rivalry forming between Haku and another girl.
Being the naïve youth she was, Haku foolishly made her wish when approached by the Contractor, the creature having sensed her magical potential and desire to win. What followed next were multiple championship victories but at the cost of her rival…and her best friend. Needless to say, Haku was never able to reconcile the views of jealousy her friend began to harbor upon her because she soon moved away to the neighboring residence of Mitakihara Town.
Shaken and realizing she had wished for something stupid, Haku began to regret the gifts given to her and even reject the Contractor’s will. When she heard that there were others like her, others who too sought to reverse their wishes, Haku clung to them desperately. Now she sees the Order as her own family, treating each girl as a fellow sister to despise the Contractor and the unfairness of the world.
