Homura Akemi

Homura Akemi is a mysterious transfer student in the Puella Magi series. She is actually a Mahou Shoujo from another time-line, with the intent of preventing a catastrophe from occurring.

Appearance
Homura wears a long black shirt under a white overcoat, with purple ribbons adorning her collar, and mid-back. She wears a frilled purple skirt, with thigh-high diamond-designed boots.

Personality
Homura is a smart, graceful, athletically-talented girl. Cool-headed, her personality is even evident in her posture. While initially ditzy and insecure, has become very independent and strong during her time traveling.

Abilities
Homura has the ability to manipulate time, enabling her to move at impossible speeds, and have the foresight of events before they happen. She uses the circular device on her left hand to manipulate time, which functions like a sand timer.

When the flow of the sand is blocked, time is stopped. And when there is no sand on the upper part of the sand timer and then the timer is reverted, one month's worth of time is turned back. But before that stage is reached, only time stopping is possible. Essentially speaking, Homura has the ability to manipulate one month's time's worth of sand in the sand timer.

Although her primary ability is to stop time, all her other abilities and attacks seem to come from non-magical items, such as firearms and bombs. Her time manipulation device can also allow her to travel back in time, act as a shield, and seems to act as a limitless storage facility.
