Itsumi Madoka (逸美 窓花 <Itsumi Madoka>) is the protagonist of Magi Soldat and a magical girl.
Contents
Appearance
Madoka sports a bizarrely "floofy" hairstyle that is neck-length in front and extends down to mid-back-length in the back. She often ties her hair into a ponytail or set of twin tails. Due to the voluminous nature of her hair, her tail(s) often "blends in" with the rest, creating the illusion that her hair is shorter than it actually is.
Madoka's hair is vibrantly orange and she has emerald green eyes.
Biography
Pre Works
Madoka was born the only daughter of Itsumi Hisanobu and Itsumi Rika. She spent much of her childhood thoroughly engrossed in anime and manga, a trait that would stick with her throughout her life.
She graduated from Wakkanai High School at 18 and went on to attend university for 4 years. Upon receiving her university degree, she applied to the recently established Wakkanai Frontier Academy and took up the mantle as both a homeroom teacher and a history teacher.
She currently lives in a small apartment with Kaemi.
Magi Soldat
On one unreasonably hot day in the summer, Madoka is approached by Dilalin and reluctantly recruited into the Soldat Initiative. She becomes Magi Hope, the de facto leader of the Magi Soldat Alpha Unit.
Magi Hope
Through use of the Heart Soldat Crest, Madoka is able to transform into Magi Hope (マジ・HOPE <maji HOPE>).
Abilities
As Magi Hope, Madoka is able to perform transmutation, the ability to change one substance into another with granularity down to the atomic scale (transmutation of atoms). While definitely the most versatile ability, it has severe drawbacks:
- The amount of psycho-exotic energy required is proportional to the transmutation's complexity.
- It would take little energy to morph the shape of a stone but significantly more to turn lead into gold.
- Madoka is limited to knowable transmutations.
- She cannot transmute a metal or alloy if neither she nor the support system of her Soldat Attire possesses a structural understanding of it.
Age
Madoka's age is canonically a mystery. While certain characters (such as her parents and the headmaster of the academy) are likely in a position of knowing her age, most characters are not privy to this information and it is never spoken or written in any canonical works.
Given that she was part of the same graduating class as Kaemi, she is likely 23-24 years old at the start of Magi Soldat.
Word of God: Itsumi Madoka has no canon age. Simple as that.
Trivia
- Madoka's favorite food is strawberries.
- Madoka clapping her hands together when performing transmutation is an entirely aesthetic choice on her part and is an homage to circle-free transmutation from Full Metal Alchemist.
- Of all the characters, Madoka has changed the most over time. Most noticeably, her hair has changed radically, originally being a quasi-hime ("bowl"?) cut.
- In the original Ellipsis series, Madoka is confirmed to be a wearer of shimapan (striped panties).
- Singing karaoke is one of Madoka's favorite pastimes and she is said to have a beautiful singing voice.
- Madoka prefers to be addressed by her given name in all circumstances (e.g. Madoka-san or Madoka-sensei).
- It's possible that Madoka may be mildly scopophobic (afraid of drawing attention to herself) but, if so, only circumstantially.
- Madoka is a fan of manhwa (Korean comics).
