Magical Girl descriptions
Looks calm and cool-headed at first, but in fact she is a coward. As a result of her wish, she can ignore any witches and turn down any offer without lack of responsibility. She can fight if she wants to, but she chose to steal Grief Seeds from other Magical Girls instead.

Doppel descriptions
The Doppel of Idleness. Its form is Arsenal. The master of this emotion despises the truth that she has to fight witches, however viewing the being emerging from her body as yet another excuse to avoid the inevitable, she abuses this power. Contrasting with its lazy master, the energetic Doppel actually enjoys the battlefield and fights for its master's sake with its many blades and guns, despite the fact she views it as nothing but a tool. The invisible strings the master actually puppeteers the Doppel with and it is, although realistic and blood-stained, false weaponry, the both of them remain oblivious.

Civilian
Rei has fair skin and ice blue-coloured hair in an asymmetrical style, as she has short hair, but the sideburns reach her shoulders. Her eyes are somehow droopy and the irises are red, and the colour is acknowledged to be natural.

As a student in Kamimura Branch School, students can wear any type of uniform they want. Rei wears a blue shirt with a grey sweater, with a black plated skirt, black socks reach her calves and brown shoes. She also have a silver skull-shaped brooch, which is similar to the shape of her Soul Gem.

Personality
She somehow appeared emotionless at first glance. In fact, she admitted that she just too lazy to show any expression. One of the top aces in education, besides Nagomi. She does not want to fight Witches, so she usually ignored any Labyrinth she sees, and with her ability to be invisible to Witches, she has never accidentally encountered one. She is also shown to have a cruel side, as she said, as long as she does not have to fight, other Magical Girls died in battle is not a problem to her. Perhaps because of lacking experiences and never fought before, her magic and skills are quite weak compare to other Magical Girls.

Ep 1
Kogane had been fighting a Witch, and finally found a Grief Seed. She was about to cleanse her Soul Gem, but a person bump into her and stormed off without apologizing. Kogane was frustrated, but soon found out the Grief Seed was nowhere to be found. Thinking it might be dropped somewhere when she collided with that person earlier, she crouched to find it, but the results were the same.

It was soon shown that the person who bumped into Kogane earlier was indeed Rei. She used the stolen Grief Seed to clean her half-darken Soul Gem, and said she was bored lately, so that was the result why her gem had been murky like that, while playing with the Grief Seed by tossing it between her fingers. Kyuubey suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and told Rei to stop this meaningless actions and started to fighting Witches, as that was Magical Girl's duty. Rei showed to emotion, replied that she wished because he begged her to do so, and she did not have any reason to fight. Kyuubey said she could fight if she wanted, as her ability to be invisible in front of Witches is an extremely useful advantage, so she should not have wasted it. Rei just sighed and said if she found any interest in that life-risking thing, she would consider.

Rei narrated that her life was boring, with full of monochrome shades. Yet she liked it, and did not want to change anything, even the most minor detail, about her life. She thought her life was like a video tape that been replayed again and again every single day. But Kyuubey appeared and made her life turning upside down, persistently told her to make a wish and became a Magical Girl every time, and rambling about the Witches, and so on. Rei asked Kyuubey about many things, such as why she should have done it, what was the price for it, and received the answers. Rei took it for granted that Kyuubey was begging her to wish and he was so useless and inferior to her that could not do anything, so she wished as he pleased, but she did not have to fight Witches because of the results of her wish. She knew that if her Soul Gem was darken to its limit, her life would change, so she was stealing Grief Seeds from other local Magical Girls she found, and Kogane was always the common victim, as she also a resident of Kamimura village. She also occasionally travelled to other locations such as Kotonazo City to steal more Grief Seeds. She mentally exclaimed that she would go to Kazusada Ward the following day, as she had gone to Hannya Ward already.

Ep 2
Arrived at Kazusada Ward, Rei found that almost of the residents here are wealthy, or famous politicians. Rei thought to herself, the politics had many stressful work to do, perhaps Witches were gather there a lot, and Magical Girls as well. Dozing off, Rei did not notice a group of girls came near her. It was Polka's clique. One of the girls shoved Rei away, while Polka chatting with another girl like she was not even there. Another girl looked more mature than the rest seemed to notice something about Rei, and told the girls that she would follow them later, and Polka unmindfully agreed. The girl apologized for the behaviour earlier, and introduced herself as Kyunado Aki. Rei also did the same, and asked Aki why she stayed back with her, and what was her intentions. Aki asked Rei if she was a Magical Girl by any chance, as she saw her mark on her nail. Rei replied by asking if she was a Magical Girl too, and Aki acknowledged, showing her the ring. Rei wondered if Aki could show her around, as she did not familiar with the place, and Aki gladly agreed.

The two walked around Kazusada together. Aki introduced the places passionately while Rei taking mental notes about the surroundings. Then they took a break in a fancy restaurant. Rei told Aki that she only had enough money for the train to go home, and the latter chuckled, said that she would pay for the meal. Suddenly, a Witch appeared near the restaurant, and the two rushed to where it is. Aki transformed and began to fight the Witch. Rei did the same and told Aki to buy some time so she could find where the weak spot was. Aki agreed and continued to fight, while Rei used her invisible magic to do as she said earlier, then told Aki about it. The Witch seemed easy to defeat, so there were no Grief Seeds. Rei clutched her teeth, thinking her effort was pointless, while Aki relieved that other people did not get hurt.

The time soon passed, and Aki had to get back to where her team was, and the two parted away. When Aki came back to Polka's clique, she found out her only Grief Seed was missing. At the same time, Rei sitting on the train leading to Kamisato Village, clutched the stolen Grief Seed in hand, thinking that she had been wasting to much time just to take one Grief Seed.

Ep 3
Rei decided to go to Kazusada Ward one more time, but this time accompanied with Kogane, as she was begging her to go with her. She chose the local school to investigate first, thinking there might be some Magical Girls like Aki there. There, she met Aki again, sitting alone in the bench. Upon seeing Rei, Aki immediately asked if she knew anything about her missing Grief Seed, and she denied. Aki and Kogane also talked together a little. Then it was Rei's turn to ask why she was sitting alone. Aki heaved a sigh and point to the fountain nearby, where her clique was brutally harassing a girl. Rei realized that was Nagomi rather quickly. Then she asked Aki why she had not stopped them, but Aki just shook her head regretfully, saying there was nothing she could do. Rei was to lazy to stop them, so she waited for the bullying to be done. After the gang gone away, Aki rushed to where Nagomi was, attempting to help her, but got brushed away. Nagomi said she did not need a hypocrite. Then she soon saw Rei and Kogane, and soon ran away. The three soon caught up with her. Kogane was happy that she was able to meet Nagomi, attempted to give her a hug, but got pushed away. Nagomi said she did not need them to meet her, and told them to go away. Kogane tried to talk to her, but in vain. Then, she angrily said Nagomi and her would not friends anymore, and stormed off with tears in her eyes. Rei told Aki to keep an eye on Kogane, and asked Nagomi if she was a Magical Girl. Nagomi wondered why Rei asked that out of the blue, but also acknowledged the fact. Rei said if Nagomi gave her all the Grief Seeds she got, then she would go. The two had a battle, and there was a tie. Nagomi still gave her a Grief Seed in the condition that she would leave her alone from then on. Rei agreed, but asked her if she could call her nickname, as her name was so hard to read. Nagomi sighed, and said that was an exception, and she could call her that.
