#in her artist dungarees and all xD

Look at her, my fellow clowns

Today I wanted to go through my own ideas for who the magical girls’s witches are in the ending of the original Madoka Magica anime! Since this was when Madoka Magica was JUST the anime, I’ll only be going over the original witches (including the ones from Portable/Battle Pentagram)

I know I’m awfully late to the party (as I am for literally everything I post here) but I really wanna contribute my ideas!

I’ll be going left to right for these girls!

First is the girl with long hair and a strange headpiece. I have no initial ideas for her, however, this girl also appears as one of Walpurgisnacht’s familiars so we can get a better look at her!

From this picture we can see she has long hair, with a bit tied up as a top-knot, a kimono styled outfit as well as a cute pinafore! I still wasn’t sure which witch this girl could be however after a little thought, I realised her pinafore could be a kind of apron. This made me think of Izabel, the artist witch although I have no more links. Another witch she could be is Patricia, but I have no evidence, I only think so because I’ve always imagined Patricia to have hair like the girl here.

The next girl! A girl with long bunches and very specific bows... hmmmmm I wonder who it is...

Oh wait, I do know. It’s Elly. It’s 100% Elly XD There’s not much else I can say!

Though this is backed up by the image of Elly’s presumed magical girl form that appears in her monitor. This form has the same hairstyle. However, the girl in the monitor and the girl at the end seem to be wearing different clothes. The monitor Elly has a large skirt and bows/wings on her shoes whereas the ending girl seems to have long sleeves and bloomers, and nothing sticking out on her shoes. I don’t think this debunks my theory as monitor Elly could just be her human form, not specifically her magical girl form.

For the next girl, I strongly believe her to be Itzli

This is because Itzli is theorised to be an alien magical girl and I think her outfit suits the space theme.

The magical girl’s outfit is pretty well shown in the silhouette but she also appears as one of Walpugisnatch’s minions. I noticed here that the magical girl has a lot of spikes with balls on the end in her design which Itzli also shares, with those same objects coming out of her brain. Another small observation is that the hairstyle of the magical girl looks rather similar to Itzli’s accessory as well as her witch symbol.

The next girl is an interesting one. I think I know who she is meant to be, but I no longer think the witch she is is correct. Why, you ask? Because I think she’s meant to be Charlotte.

The hair, the sweets theme, the spotted tights and Charlotte’s spotted hood. Even the little flower on her tail that matches the nose of Charlotte’s monster form. Before Nagisa, this was absolutely meant to be Charlotte’s magical girl form.

However, knowing now that Nagisa is in fact Charlotte/Bebe’s magical girl form, I think there is another candidate that could be this girl.

Uhrmann. Why? Well the connection isn’t so obvious compared to Charlotte but the little tail really sells me on the idea. Even though we’re rather sure it’s Charlotte, let’s look at it more in Uhrmann’s favour. Even though there are a lot of sweet wrapper themes in the magical girl’s outfit, we could interpret those as bows instead, which Uhrmann has in her mane. Additionally, the fluffiness of the magical girl’s hair as well as the pompoms on her shoes and tail look a lot like the fur of a poodle (which is what Uhrmann is meant to be (she looks a lot more like a greyhound, doesn’t she XD )).

The next girl is one with long hair and what looks like long bows too. In all honesty, I think she looks like Kyoko in her silhouette X3c Unfortunately, I have no idea who this girl could be, plus, she is not part of Walpurgisnacht’s familiars and has no further art... I’m really unsure who she could be XT

The next girl is another easy one (thank goodness). I strongly think this girl is Walpurgisnacht’s magical girl.

HOWEVER! I believe the theory that Walpurgisnacht is made up of many magical girls, so how (I hear you ask) how is that her magical girl? Well-! I believe that there was one magical girl that created the form and design of Walpurgisnacht, and she only gained power from other magical girls, perhaps ones that she consumed, not allowing them to become witches but instead become her minions.

So this girl’s witch form was just the start of Walpurgisnacht.

With the next girl I have another clear idea of who she is!

Albertine-! Well... not actually... but...

Anja, her familiar. This is because Anja was originally meant to be the scribbling witch. In a set of production notes, the Anja is described to be a weak witch. So anything to do with this witch before Albertine’s first appearance in Portable would have to do with Anja instead of Albertine.

This magical girl is also one of Walpurgisnacht’s familiars. Actually here we can see links to both Anja and Albertine. She has the crown and bunches of Anja and the frizzy hair, striped shirt, bows and dungaree shorts as Albertine. I think her similarities to Albertine are because when designing Albertine for Portable they wanted to make sure she still looked like the magical girl of the scribbling witch.

With the next two magical girls, I’m very unsure who they’re meant to be.

The girl with buns even has artwork but I still can’t pinpoint who she’s meant to be... I suppose they’re left a mystery.

The final girl! Thankfully, I have an idea who she is-!

Suleika!

Now there isn’t much evidence for her, my only ideas came from her hairstyle and skirt. The way they stick out sharply really reminds me of the way Suleika looks.

All together in the image there are 15 girls and in the main series there are 19 witches so we weren’t gonna match all our lovely witches today! The witches we had left over were Gertrud, Gisela, Elsa Maria, Izabel (maybe), Patricia, Roberta and Quitterie. However, in another post about the concept movie, I explain my theories about more magical girls that could be linked to some of these witches.

And that’s all! Sorry for another long post! But I hope you liked my ideas!
