Kugimiya, Madoka

釘宮円

Madoka Kugimiya is the serious one among the three cheerleaders in her class. She ensures that the other cheerleaders, particularly Sakurako, avoid getting into trouble. She enjoys gyūdon and silver accessories, and is generally fond of Western music (currently a fan of Avril Lavigne, according to notes), but she dislikes playboys and has a mild obsession with her husky voice. Her surname is frequently the subject of nicknames created by her classmates, which Madoka does not appreciate.
During the school festival, she develops a slight crush on the teenage form of Kotarou. She has been shown to be very protective of her friends, especially Ako, whom she encourages to be more confident. Ironically, she nearly got Ako shot when she pressured the shy girl to confess her love for "Nagi" (teenage Negi) in front of an audience during the Live Mahora Concert. Fortunately for Ako, and much to Madoka's dismay, she only asked for Nagi's e-mail address. Madoka also participates in the "Mars vs. Mages" game and is among the first "casualties" (meaning her clothes were blasted off) when she is hit by the robots' strip beams.
