Character

Sayaka Miki

美樹 さやか

Sayaka Miki is one of the main characters from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica franchise and is Madoka Kaname's friend. Sayaka Miki is a very pale young girl with short-medium blue hair and blue eyes. She is seen wearing her school uniform in the beginning of episode one which, like all others, consists of a cream-colored long-sleeved shirt with a big red bow on the front. The bottoms of the sleeves are open and have red borders around them. The front of the shirt also has two pockets on it. She wears a pair of brown shoes with dark deep blue knee socks. In her magical girl form, her clothing consists of a blue and white button-down strapless top, a blue asymmetrical skirt held up by a dark blue belt with a yellow buckle, white stockings with a blue stripe, teal boots, a white thigh-long cape and 2 pairs of gloves, one being elbow-length midnight-blue, and the other being standard-length, and white. Her Soul Gem is embedded in her belly button. Sayaka is shown to act slightly tomboyish and heroic. She cares a lot for her friends, made clear by her immediately making the contract to become a magical girl just so she could save Madoka. Despite acting tomboyish, she does have a girly side, shown by her interest in romance and classical music. However, her vision of love is very unrealistic. She rarely thinks twice before acting on something and comes into conflict with others easily. When combined with her kindness and courage, those two traits make her ignorant and careless. Throughout the anime, she and Kyoko often argued with one another, and their first encounter was even an attempted fight to the death. If it hadn't been for Homura's interventions, Sayaka would have died at least twice. She evidently has some love for anime and games, since she called Homura 'moe' when taunting, "She's so moe, it makes me sick!". It's also hinted that Sayaka does like cosplaying as well. She hates the idea of being rejected by people that she loves. When Kyousuke started dating Hitomi, Sayaka felt hurt and rejected. This showed that she wanted to get praise for her wish and even to get the chance to date him but, to her dismay, that did not happen. So that lead to her death. In the Rebellion Movie, it is implied that she may have developed admiration or maybe even romantic feelings for Kyoko.
