Standard disclaimer: PMMM is a giant rolling ball of spoilers. Everything below this line might be considered a spoiler. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
In times of need, of desperation, of desire, the hopes and wishes of young girls can burn their brightest. And it is in these times, some of these girls may find themselves visited by a small, white cat like creature with red eyes. It speaks to them, and offers them a deal.
Become a magical girl, and in exchange, it will grant them one singular wish. To some, this deal may seem like a win-win situation, but like any exchange, it comes at a price. To become a magical girl, to have your wish granted by Kyubey, is to commit to a lifetime of fighting: both the horrid manifestations of darkness known as Witches, and other magical girls as well when circumstances bring the two into conflict. Kyubey’s wish-born magical girls do not merely fight darkness to protect others, but to protect themselves. The contract each girl signs creates an artifact known as a Soul Gem, from which the magical girl draws all of her power. Fighting and using magic steadily pollutes this Soul Gem, and the only way to draw that off is through the use of items called Grief Seeds. Touching a Grief Seed to a tainted Soul Gem will draw the taint off of the gem, purifying it. However, Grief Seeds are found only when defeating a Witch, and even then, not always. This can and does sometiems lead to turf wars between rival magical girls over the right to hunt a certain area; not just between girls who wield Soul Gems, but other magical girls in the area who hunt Witches.
The natural enemy of a so-called Puella Magi is the aforementioned Witches, manifestations of the negative impulses of humanity. Anxiety, suspicion, wrath, depression - Witches spread these. The horrors that befall humanity can often be traced directly to a Witch. Witches draw unaware humans to them, often through means of a mark known as a Witch’s Kiss. Residing within twisting, quasi-real constructs known as Labyrinths, Witches conceal themselves, spreading suffering and sorrow to those around them and drawing suffering souls to them to finish them off. More than other monsters and enemies, Witches kill; without purpose or final desire, and they exist only to spread their suffering and sorrow. They cannot be reasoned with. Left alone, the guardians of a Witches’ Labyrinth, small creatures known as Familiars, can escape, killing more, and in doing so becoming powerful enough to become witches themselves.
The true nature of Witches, however, is known only to an enigmatic creature - the ‘friendly mascot’ and maker of contracts, Kyubey.
It is possible to app OC magical girls that have contracted with Kyubey for a wish. Be sure to detail that wish, and how it molds or shapes the character’s life in your application.
