Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Homura Akemi

She's an magical girl from the future and her wish is to save Madoka from dying and from everything that could hurt her or make her sad. Ever since her arrival at Mitakihara Middle School, she is immediately depicted as being very intelligent, athletic, distant, and heartless but later it revealed that she is only like this because she has seen so much suffering during her tenure as a magical girl. In her own timeline, she was very shy, quiet, and sweet but was known for her physical incapability of performing in P.E. class; she would get dizzy upon doing even the simplest of warm-up exercises. This had the unfortunate result of her being a target of bullying. Her magical girl main weapon is a shield filled with sand that allows her to freeze time but it becomes useless if she is physically restrained as she cannot turn her shield to activate it. Like any defensive shield, she can also use it to block projectiles and store the various infinite amount of weapons that she carries. Since her shield and magic has no offensive capability, she instead attacks using stolen firearms and homemade explosives while time is stopped. This is from Episodes 10 and 12.

  1. This is the only time she was barefooted in the show. So, I hope I didn't disappoint you.
