❝ If you only live for yourself, anything and everything is your own fault. You won’t resent anyone, and there’s no way you’d have something like regret. If you think of it that way, you can carry almost any burden, y’know. ❞
The first thing one might notice about Kyoko is how self-centered and stubborn she is. She could easily come off as a child who never grew up. She lives for herself, only suffering the consequences of her own actions, and has no regard for other people’s feelings and refuses to listen to anyone’s point of view other than her own. She follows the path that she feels to be the most rational and beneficial to her, as a magical girl, even though that often means stepping on other people or allowing pointless deaths, and will go so far to justify those actions. For example, Kyoko will not kill familiars, as they do not drop Grief Seeds, but will instead let them eat a few humans in order to become full-fledged witches.
Kyoko has a violent temper and easily grows frustrated when things don’t go as planned and setbacks occur or when things simply don’t go her way, though she appears to get over it quickly or simply brush it off at the time being. If someone’s stolen her territory from under her, she’ll just have to beat them to a pulp. If Kyuubey doesn’t have any advice for her, who cares if she’d been the one asking, nobody would want advice from a thing like that anyway?
To match that fiery temper is an incredibly aggressive and even sadistic nature that leaves her quick to resort to violence and antagonism. From the very beginning she is shown as being eager to fight Sayaka in order to steal Mami’s territory from her, then provoking her into a fight later for no reason other than because she believed that Sayaka would come charging at her again if left alone and goes so far as to suggest breaking the hands and legs of the boy that she likes in order to possess him, mind and soul, considering it to be the simplest way to make him hers forever.
Miracles and magic are things to only be used for a person’s own benefit in Kyoko’s mind. It’s a lifestyle she follows and encourages others to do the same. Nothing good came of using it for others in the past and she doesn’t see that changing now. She mocks the idea of justice as being a flashy joke that only an idiot would stand behind. She uses her magic to live the highest quality of life in the civilian, breaking open ATM machines in order to stay at fancy hotels and buy the obscene amount of food that she goes through on a daily basis. It should be noted, however, that she commits her crimes at night in order to avoid involving innocents.
Kyoko is also a hoarder. The fact that she hordes Grief Seeds is something that even Kyuubey notes, calling it her “forte.” This allows her to use magic that she would normally have to hesitate to use, as she will always have the means to purify her Soul Gem. It seems to extend past Soul Gems and go straight to food, too. She buys food in bulk, with a focus on cheap, high processed foods such as pocky, with the occasional bag of apples thrown in for flavor, although it could be argued that she goes through it just as fast.
Speaking of food, Kyoko is always seen eating something. Even when she’s fighting she has a stick of pocky or something similar on hand and will continue to eat it as she goes about her battle. This is likely a way of compensating for the life she led before contracting, as her family had little food and nearly starved as a result of it. Food is also seems to be the universal means of acceptance and a sort of friendship offering, as she is shown to all three girls when she starts to get closer to them.
Kyoko’s bitterness isn’t completely unjustified however and much of it is simply a way to mask the pain and self-loathing that she’s felt ever since the death of her family. Having few friends outside of her them, they were the most important people to Kyoko, and she believes herself to have lost them due to using her wish for another person (her father)’s circumstances. She carries a huge amount of self-loathing and frustration in regards to that one incident, which turned her off the idea of using her magic to help others and caused her to seal her heart off from the rest of the world.
Food is also one of the few things that can incite true rage in Kyoko. She doesn’t believe in wasting food and goes as far as to threaten to kill Sayaka when she tosses an apple onto the floor. This extends past food, however, and goes straight to witches: fighting familiars is a waste of magic. She won’t fight them herself and will go as far as to stop others from doing so. This is the source of her initial conflict with Sayaka. She seems to have little trouble letting others kill witches, however, as she lets Sayaka have Elsa Maria because it comes with a reward.
❝ It's enough to simply protect the single thing that you want to protect until the very end. Somehow, y’know... Even though I should have always been doing that up until now... ❞
Hidden beneath all of the bitterness and self-centered antics there is a softer side to Kyoko, who was once an idealist who believed herself to be capable of saving the world from witches. She believes in happy endings where courage and justice conquer everything and employs these methods when trying to save Sayaka after she turned into a witch, even toying with the idea that, after slicing Octavia open, Sayaka’s purified Soul Gem might fall out in place of a Grief Seed. It’d probably be fair to say that she never really lost her idealism and hope, but instead buried it in order to avoid falling into despair.
Kyoko has a strong desire to protect those closer to her as well or that she sees herself in. She spends the majority of her screentime chasing after Sayaka, who she saw as making the same mistake as her younger self, and trying to convince her to abandon her unrealistic ideas of being a magical girl that’s different from the rest and live for herself, even knowing that it’s a hopeless cause. Sayaka in general seems to bring out the best (and the worst) in Kyoko, who goes from fighting with her to encouraging her to bust up her love interest to using her magic in order to preserve her corpse. Even after Sayaka becomes a witch she continues to chase after her, trying to bring her back, even though she likely understood that it would prove to be a waste of time.
Because she’s repressed it for so long Kyoko has a difficult time expressing her desire to help people. It’s not something she has much experience with, as Mami was her first and last friend outside her family, whom she lost long before the beginning of the series. This, coupled with her aggressive nature, left her unable to learn how to convey her feelings properly. She winds up going about it in an incredibly gruff, roundabout way, laced with antagonism and biting words that simply make her seem tactless and rude.
Abilities: Kyoko is a magical girl/Puella Magi whose soul is contained in a jewel known as a Soul Gem. Because of this, her body is controlled remotely, allowing her to survive and what's more, recover even if every drop of blood was drained from her body using magic; however, though the hit box has been made smaller it's still there. The destruction of her Soul Gem would mean the death of Kyoko and her body would begin to decay after a couple days.
Being a Puella Magi has granted Kyoko the inhuman about of strength, agility, stamina and endurance that is required to fight Witches, as well as allowing her to cut off pain completely and the ability to use telepathy. Additionally, she has powerful magic, though she prefers to use the brute force approach and, ironically enough, powerful chain-link barriers. Kyoko's wish was for people to listen to her father, thus granting her illusionary magic that ranges from creating functional duplicates of herself (Rosso Fantasma) to giving objects the appearance of Japanese candy. The latter is an ability which she suppressed for years and was only able to remember thanks to Sayaka. She's pretty out of practice with tit.
Her primary weapon is a speak that can be broken down into links and used as a whip. On the flipside, all of this magic comes at a cost and without Grief Seeds to purify her Soul Gem Kyoko would's soul would grow corrupt. Eventually, she would turn into a Witch herself.
SAMPLES First Person: Ah, this is it? Seriously? I'm starting to feel pretty gyped, y'know. They told me the afterlife was full of pearly gates with endless clouds and lakes of fire with gnashing teeth and weeping sinners. I was all ready for that kinda exciting life, y'know! Instead I get some weird town. Super pisses me off.
This place run by a five year old or something? Cause like, everyone else here's way too old to be playing house. Course, even a little kid could do better than this kinda everyday scenery. Seriously, is there anything to do here that isn't a complete waste of time?
[A pause as she tugs her cell phone out of her pocket, flipping it open.]
Oi. This phone list everyone who's here, right? So, can anyone tell me where Sayaka Miki's hiding these days? I got some unfished business with her, y'know.
