Possible Titles: Karasu and Tsurara, Madoka OCs
Premise: Madoka Magica. An introduction of my Madoka Magica OCs. A scene from this one chapter to this story I had been reading.

Personal Comments: So I came up with these ideas I had for three OCs for Madoka Magica. They are described below:
1) Karasu (japanese word for raven): A girl who's powers are centered around crows. Have you played Bioshock Infinite, this girl is kinda like the zealots. Or maybe like Itachi from naruto. She can turn into a flock of crows for easy travel, shoot out a torrent of crows from her mouth or palms, transform into a giant crow, turn her hands into talons and face into a beak, etc.
I imagine her personality being somewhat passive and quiet and shy and not really up for arguing with anyone and just backs down. Somewhat of a goth maybe, and has an appreciation for art. She likes painting as a hobby. Not sure if that's important.
Her backstory: She grew up in a middle-class family. Pretty average life. Thing is she was an only child. She had a hard time making friends. So she was very lonely. When Kyubey (or another incubator) came to her, she wished for a perfect friend whom she could talk to and who would never abandon her. She went to sleep that day and found a Crow named Ko hovering over her bed, whom she is able to communicate with telepathically. He may also be able to telepathically talk to other magical girls. This crow became her best friend and constant companion ever since (except for in school. he waits outside then.) and also helps her with fighting witches. Not really sure how to make this wish backfire.
2) Tsurara: A girl with ice-based magic.
Her backstory: Again, middle class. Loving mother father and older sibling. She loved winter. Her favorite time of year. She loves the world covered in snow. It looks beautiful. And family and friends are always huddled and warm inside. And not to mention the holidays. Back in these days, she was very warm and loving, the quick to hug-kind of gal.
She asked the incubators for a permanent winter in her town. I'm sure you can imagine how that backfired. her family decided to move to a different town. To add to it, maybe once her family found out she caused the winter, they may have threw her out, or maybe she was afraid of hurting her family further so she ran away. From this point on, she became (fittingly) cold and bitter.
3) A girl with fire-based magic (haven't thought of a name). She's particularly bitter towards other people, and enjoys hurting people, maybe more so than wishes. She may not even believe in fighting witches. There's just so much anger and hate in her.
She grew up as an orphan on the streets, all alone. or maybe she came from an abusive family. When Kyubey (or another incubator) came to her, she wished for him to burn her town to the ground. To burn everyone in it.
The way I was imagining her, she would be the antagonist of a story I imagined titled "Some girls just want to watch the world burn." In this, Madoka and her four friends must stop her from killing the innocent. She'd also possibly the enemy of the prior two. Because of her evil nature, she may have this ability to isntantly transform soul gems into grief seeds and so create fire golems as her minions.
There's this one story called "Madoka's New Protector" by StormFarron185. He's planning on using some OC magical girls for his stories, and I offered for him to use mine. Discussing it with him, I developed my characters more. And so some possible scenes using them popped into my head.
Listened to "Prayer Garden" Stephen Rhodes while writing this. It's terrific music. I recommend listening to it. It's so relaxing and puts you in a meditative mood.
First scene idea: Tsurara's monologue:
"Ever since I was little, winter always seemed magical to me. I just loved watching the snow fall from my window, and seeing the world covered in the snow was just so majestic. It always made me feel at peace. I loved playing in the snow with my friends and big sister.
"At home, we always basked in each other's warmth during the cold times. Mom and Dad always seemed to work less during the winter. I remember sitting with my family, all bundled up. We would sit around the fire and play games and watch movies and drink hot cocoa. Oh, and let's not forget the holidays!
"It was truly the most wonderful season of all. So of course, when Rubey came to me, I wished for a never-ending winter in my hometown.
"All through the first month after the traditional winter, everything continued with the same majesty that I had expected. But then, by the fifth month, things turned sour.
"Nobody had expected the winter to persist for so long. Weathermen were baffled. Many farmers lost their jobs because they could not grow their spring crops in the snow. And so there was less produce, less food to go around. Because of the weather, there were more car accidents. Many roads were closed.
"My father had to work harder and longer. He and mom would argue more. He even got drunk a couple of nights and hit her. Even my sister seemed to get more agitated with me and shut me out more. The warmth that we had shared during the winter seemed to vanish. Everyone was cold and bitter."
"You mean like you are usually?"
"Yeah. Like me.
"I still kept to my magical girl duties and fought witches. As the winter continued, more and more seemed to be popping up. They fed on the frustration and sadness that the winter was producing.
"I would meet with Rubey every now and then. I pleaded with her to stop the winter. And she would say 'it can't be stopped. Hello! You wished for a NEVER-ENDING winter. It will NEVER END.' I continued to beg for a way- any way- to stop the blizzard. But Rubey never told me of such a way."
"Eventually, by the seventh month of the winter, my parents couldn't take it anymore, and we moved away."
(Insert part where she talks about where she runs away from home for fear of bringing harm to her family again.)
"I use to love winter and snow. It use to bring such happiness and joy to me. Now every time the season comes, every time I fight witches and use my magic, it's a reminder of what I've done... of everyone I've hurt."
(Skip a few lines. She says how it's better she left. Wherever her family is, they're better off without her. She talks about how wishes probably hurt a lot of them in the long run or something. Or just the life of a magical girl in general brings harm to others.)
