Kriemhild Gretchen

Kriemhild Gretchen, the Witch of Salvation. Her nature is Mercy. She absorbs all life on the planet into her barrier, which she considers a new paradise, seeking to save all life forms. This witch is under the illusion of eradicating all suffering through her Heaven. There is no way to stop her. The only way to defeat this witch is to free the world from suffering. If there is no suffering in the world, the witch will believe that this world is already a paradise.

Gretchen resembles a large, mountain-like shadow. It has multiple legs, all as thin as wires. At its peak, the silhouette of what appears to be a girl can be seen. Inside, she carries a large, darkened Soul Gem.

Gretchen is a being of pure darkness. She often appears savage, making dry, rat-like noises, but when she speaks, her voice is incredibly sweet. She desires the best for the things she absorbs into her barrier and can be quite maternal with children.

Her true identity is Madoka Kaname, a magical girl who fell into despair. If her Soul Gem is purified (a difficult task due to its absorption), she can regain her human form.

Madoka has pink hair styled in two pigtails and magenta eyes with red highlights. She usually wears a school uniform.

Madoka is a kind and somewhat naive girl. She wants to help others and cares deeply for her friends. However, she has an inferiority complex that makes her feel weak. She is also very realistic.
