CANON INFORMATION NIGHT!

The game's pretty big isn't it? With so many characters it's sometimes hard to keep up with everyone's canon and character backgrounds. Not to mention that the apps aren't always placed in the character's journal, and it leaves you wondering how they are, or even where they come from.

WELL WONDER NO MORE! It's time for a canon and character night!

The idea behind this post is primarily an information exchange. Just fill in this form, and think about factoids and things in a list form. Remember, you're trying to sell your character & canon to others, so talk about what makes them unique and fun. With any luck, you'll learn some new things about other people's characters that you can base relationships or friendships on, or even find a new fandom which catches your interest!

Note: Please mark the top of your thread with the canon. This way, other people in your canon can add whatever they want to it, such as their character stuff, and other cool factoids about the canon that they might remember.

You are perfectly fine and more than allowed to ask questions about the fandoms to the other players if you wish as well!

PUELLA MAGI MADOKA MAGICA

Reposted bc that video was huge omg
also spoiler warning.

Character: Homura Akemi
Canon: Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Interesting things about the character:
- She used to be a very meek and awkward girl; through her magic she slowly desensitized herself and became the (outwardly) stone cold girl she is now.
- Homura's magical powers are time related. She can rewind to a very specific moment in time, and can completely stop time with her magic.
- She's a time traveler in case the above didn't make it obvious.
- She canonly googles/searches "how to make a bomb".
- Her parents are Mysteriously Absent.

Interesting things about the canon/fandom:
- MadoMagi is a deconstruction of the Magical Girl genre. It takes just about everything you automatically think of when you think "magical girl" and makes it grimdark.
- The magical girls' powers are based on the wish they make when they form the contract to become a magical girl.
- The bad guys the girls in this series fight against are in actuality other girls, just ones corrupted by magic.
- There are a lot of heavy implications (in the actual show and in interviews) towards girls' love in this series, so shipping girl/girl is not hard to do!

Anything else?:
Not too much of a spoiler, but imho the best fight scene in the entire show and also Homura's crowning moment of badass:
