Personality: with memories Once upon a time, there was a young sick girl with no self worth. She had no particular talents, nothing that made her stand out from her peers. She was awkward through and through, from the way she spoke to the way she moved to the way she interacted with other people. She was shy, she was afraid.
She had very little before two of her classmates saved her from a certain death. After that, she had friends, and quickly became dependant on them; one of them in particular, Madoka Kaname, became someone important and very special to her. So special that what she felt for her might even be called love. She admired both of these girls for their fearlessness, and how they embodied everything she was not. They were stylish, special, helpful and brave; intelligent and kind; beautiful and graceful.
But the Walpurgisnacht came. They both died, leaving her as the powerless watcher on. Over the dead body of the girl she loved, Homura was offered a miracle. A miracle she clasped with both hands and took not for herself, but for the dead girl in front of her. She wished to re-do the meeting with this person, this time as someone with the same magical power her two friends had; someone with the ability to change fate, someone with strength.
And so it went.
Homura woke up in the hospital room the day before she was to transfer to the school her friends went to. Her wish had become reality, and she was able to redo her meeting. But it came to the same conclusion: she was unable to protect Madoka. This continued. Every time she failed, Homura would try again; each and every time she learned something new, and every time her heart was gradually ripped to tiny shreds as she watched her friends die.
No matter what she did, it would come to nothing. She ends up shooting Madoka to prevent her from turning into a monster. Killing the person she loves with her own hands, that triggers a change in her.
"No one believes in the future. No one can accept the future."
Gone is the awkward girl of the past. Gone are the insecurities and the doubt and the fear. Using magic to heal her flawed eyesight and letting her long hair flow loose, Homura realizes that she cannot save Madoka as she is now. Homura must completely remake herself to save her. She becomes the opposite of everything she was once before. Jaded and icy, distant and aloof. Graceful and intelligent, fearless and brave. She becomes everything she once admired in the girls Mami Tomoe and Madoka herself.
But with one crucial difference: she goes it alone.
There is one truth in her world and that is she can rely on no one but herself. She cannot rely on others. Her own integrity and strength is what will change everything, and she cuts no corners and beats around no bush in order to get the job done. What other people think is of no importance, so long as it does not get in the way of her goal. But despite her icy exterior, Homura is very human. She steels herself to do what she must, feeling pain and suffering as anyone else would. She is tragic, sad, and lonely; but she believes this is the only way.
"Repeat. I'll repeat it no matter how many times. I'll live through the same events again and again. Until I can find the only way out. The way to save you from despair."
Homura Akemi embodies one thing, and one thing only: purpose.
