Homura Akemi

"No matter how many times I have to repeat all of this, I'll protect you!" - Homura Akemi,

Homura Akemi is the deuteragonist of Madoka Magica. She is first seen by Madoka in a dream of her fighting a monster in a desolate landscape of skyscrapers. The day after the dream, Homura has transferred to Madoka's school where she gives her ominous warnings.

Homura is a magical girl who first appears in an apocalyptic nightmare of Madoka's. She transfers into Madoka's school the day after the dream. She is unnaturally good at everything she does, including academics and sports. This makes her instantly popular, even though she is cold and demeaning towards others. Homura's indifferent personality is the result of her failures while going through multiple timelines. Originally a shy girl, she was befriended by Madoka and eventually saved from a witch by her and Mami, who revealed that they were magical girls. When Mami died in the fight with the rampaging witch Walpurginacht, Madoka sacrificed her life to stop it. Homura, overcome by grief and uselessness, contracted with Kyūbey in order to become a person that could protect Madoka, just as Madoka protected her. Her wish was to be able to go back to her original meeting with Madoka, leading Homura to receive a power to manipulate time. Homura cares deeply for Madoka, however this caring is eventually twisted into a sole, obsessive fixation on Madoka's survival regardless of her feelings, and Homura never gives up on trying to "save" Madoka, even as she grows more cold, intimidating and antagonistic to others. She tries again and again to prevent Madoka from being killed or making a contract, but time after time fails to save her. After a timeline reset, Homura always returns to the hospital room where she awoke after her heart disease subsided.

In the final timeline, she inherits Madoka's bow - now a sleek ebony bow with purple diamond setting - and arrows, along with a set of white wings. Homura continues to fight in the new world against the wraiths only because it was a world that Madoka once tried to protect, and lives by Madoka's promise that they will meet again someday.
