Riri Suzushi

“The witch will not be defeated by mere words of hatred... It is a wish of a witch... So, a wish... is an absolute truth.” Riri Suzushi (々紫リリー Suzushi Riri) is regarded as an expert magical girl. She is the protagonist of Puella Magi Riri★Magica

Appearance
Riri is a mature girl with gentle features and is incredibly short for her age. She has long maroon hair and purple eyes. She usually wears a long yellow and black bell-shaped dress with a short blouse over the top with many frills underneath the skirt portion of the dress and in addition, matching shoes. As a magical girl, she wears an outfit that is more suited to a knight's armour. When transformed her soul gem transforms into a wing-shaped brooch on her left hand.

Personality
Riri is a rather gentle soul with great thought for others. When fighting witches she will often let someone else have the grief seed to purify their soul gem rather than herself. This is somewhat of a double-edged sword as always putting herself put others puts a burden on her heart and raises the risk of her becoming a witch even more. She is a little self-conscious of herself as she can feel at times like a fish out of water hence why her wish was for her crush to accept her as she truly is. It is especially hard on herself as she soon finds herself in a love triangle when she is in college, which later results in her finally turning her into a witch.

She is generally pretty laid back however when it comes to her friends and often just wants to have fun and take life as it is when she is at least around them because she at the very least understand that by fighting witches, her life could end at any moment, as she has seen before in her years as fighting witches.

Experience as a Magical Girl
An incubator approached Riri on valentines day when she was in middle school as at the time she was absolutely terrified of giving the chocolates she had made to her crush and when she eventually did, he rejected her, thinking that she was too weird. Heartbroken she made a wish that he would at least accept who she is.

As a magical girl she is an expert and has defeated 38 witches. At the start, she did not have much darkness in her heart and doesn't have much magical potential.

Magical Abilities
By creating chains Riri can use them to swing herself to different places around the labyrinth and bind them around a witch. In addition, by slamming them into the ground she can deal a great amount of force. Due to the nature of her wish, Riri can deal with what she calls 'love magic'. Her magic can make an enemy distracted or light-headed.
