IC INFORMATION Characters Name: Kazumi Subaru Age: 14 Canon: Puella Magi Kazumi Magica ~the innocent malice~ Canon Point: Post-canon Species: Human Gender: Female Orientation: It's never really touched upon in canon -- Saki had some romantic feelings for her, though it's pretty much outright stated that they stem from Kazumi being a clone of Michiru. She's very close with the other Pleaides but their relationship is closer to being a group of sisters and she never shows any romantic inclination in any way towards any of the characters.
History:[ Here. ] Appearance:Untransformed -- From the last chapter of the manga. Her hair is black and her eyes a reddish-purple.Transformed - the cover of the final volume. Kazumi is in the middle. Personality: At first, it's hard to tell just how much of Kazumi's personality is entirely her own and just how much she inherits from Michiru. All we know for sure is that her love of food and her cooking skills are directly from her predecessor -- and, in fact, she not only states to the Pleiades that she is a separate person but also reacts badly when Saki mistakenly refers to her as 'Michiru'. She explicitly states that she can't move forward unless she has her own body and not one created by the Pleiades to revive Michiru. Kazumi considers herself a separate person and there are great differences between her and Michiru. The main difference is that Michiru was very mature for her age and acted as a big sister figure to the other girls. With Kazumi, this is reversed, with the other girls serving as older sister figures for her.
She has a great deal of love and respect for food, an attitude she inherited from her grandmother who stressed the importance of never wasting food and respecting the lives of the animals whose meat had been used for your meal. She believes strongly that people who don't leave leftovers are inherently good people -- after all, a bad guy never finishes anything and certainly not a meal!
Kazumi herself never leaves any leftovers, though this is more to do with the fact that she just loves to eat. Whenever she's hungry, that issue will be the forefront of her mind -- when she woke up naked and confused in a briefcase of all things, the first thing she demanded of her supposed kidnapper was food. If she's upset or distressed, she'll almost always have something to eat. This is another attitude she inherited from her grandmother, who told her to listen to her stomach if she was upset -- because if she was hungry, that meant she still wanted to live.
Kazumi is an energetic young girl, who never seems to tire out. She's a little hot-headed and her moods sometimes swing between emotional extremes in the blink of an eye. Still, she's cheerful most of the time, though she can come off as a bit of a ditz and often has rather over the top reactions to things -- especially food. Kazumi loves to make friends and meet new people -- she's naturally a very charming young girl, though she's mostly unaware of her charisma and therefore unable to tell when she is in fact being charming. When she makes a friend, she's loyal to the end and cares deeply for them. She goes to great lengths to protect her friends, often at her own expense -- she risks turning herself into a Witch in order to win a Grief Seed to save her friends from the same fate.
Because of this, Kazumi considers betraying one's friends to be one of the cost despicable things a person can do. When it appears that the Pleiades have betrayed her and are attempting to kill her, she does not hesitate in leaving them for her own safety and actively hiding. When she does eventually confront them for answers, she makes sure she is totally in control of the situation and never fully forgives their actions -- apart from Kaoru and Umika, who prove their love and dedication to their friend -- though it's possible that, given the time, she may have done so eventually. She's sympathetic towards Kanna Hiriji, despite all the awful things she'd done, though this may be attributed to Kazumi feeling kinship with her, as they were both 'artificial' humans, created with magic.
She's also very childish for her age -- she's a middle-schooler but she looks and acts a fair bit younger. This is most evident when she's with her friends Umika and Kaoru who are both high schoolers and come off as much more mature than Kazumi. This isn't to say that she's completely immature -- she has an incredibly strong sense of justice and responsibility, though she tends to hold other people by this same ideal and is often surprised when they don't match it. She hates unnecessary conflict, especially of the physical kind and will never resort to violence if she thinks there's another option. However, she's not afraid to fight when it comes down to it and works very well in a team -- she was often the linchpin in the strategies that the Pleiades came up with.
Ultimately, Kazumi is a girl who just wants to be happy and make other people happy. Her love of food and cooking and her hatred of conflict are all testaments of that. When the people she loves are happy, Kazumi is happy and that's more than enough for her. Abilities: Kazumi is a Puella Magi, her universe's answer to being a magical girl. Thanks to this, she has various abilities, some useful and others... well, less so.
Weapon & Magic: Kazumi's weapon of choice is a large cross-shaped staff that is apparently made of metal. It works as both a close-range melee weapon and can be used to fire magical beams (which seems to be her main use of it). Her attacks have a large range and excellent accuracy and are shown to be powerful enough to cripple most witches. Her final attack is Limiti Esterni (Outer Limit) and in the final chapter, she is shown performing a combo attack with Umika and Kaoru called Meteora Finale (Final Meteor). Physical Abilities: Like all Puella Magi, Kazumi has extremely heightened physical prowess. She is much stronger than a normal human and has much more endurance, able to take a blow that would incapacitate a normal person and come back swinging. The downside to this is that her magic as well as her entire physical being is dependant on her Soul Gem and it exceeds a distance of 100 meters from her body, she will, effectively, die until the Soul Gem is returned to her. Should she use too much magic without clensing her Soul Gem with a grief seed, it will corrupt and Kazumi will turn into a Witch. Other: Kazumi is a mind-blowing cook. Give her a recipe and she'll not only improve on it, but she'll make your tastebuds weep with delight. Her signature dish is strawberry risotto but she's good at cooking anything she turns her hand to.
Third Person: No matter how many times Kazumi reads through the papers, it just doesn't make sense.
Oh, she understands enough to get the gist; this is her home now. And it doesn't really look like she has a choice in the matter. Wherever she is obviously is not Japan -- it looks kind of like America, from what she can remember of it and all the writing is in English, too.
Is this America, then? After arriving here, she'd taken to wandering around to try and work out where she was and it seemed like there were lots of people here from all over the world. America was supposed to be diverse and full of people and this neighbourhood (for lack of a better word) was certainly very American.
She's worried about Umika and Kaoru. Do they know she's missing? Once they notice she's gone, they'll tear apart the city looking for her. After all this time, all the blood, sweat and tears they'd shed together -- to be seperated from each other by a place like this was almost too cruel for Kazumi to comprehend.
Maybe they're here already... she wonders and picks up the pace, breaking into a jog. This is a big place, but if she's going to look for Kaoru and Umika, she's going to have to be thorough.
