Hinakubo Katsuki

Hinakubo Katsuki (雛窪 克己) is a skilled magical girl who debuts in Episode 1.

Appearance
Katsuki has long, jet gray hair. The tips of her bangs barely touch her eyelashes, however; somehow, very small strands of her hair find their way into her golden brown eyes that used to shake in discomfort. Her glasses are of no use, besides making distant things apparent. Outside of school, and despite rarely going out, she's mostly seen wearing dark dresses among other formal clothing.

Personality
When it comes to making friends, Katsuki isn't someone you should consider. Her constant serious nature may come off as a negative trait. As she enjoys solitary, there are things people do that can easily provoke her; therefore, with the help of her desire for control, she grew more vocal with her opinions. However, she wasn't always like this.

Etymology
Hinakubo is made up of two Kanji characters, those being 雛窪. The most fitting meaning of 雛 is [hina] doll, otherwise known as the dolls displayed during the Girls' Festival (Hinamatsuri). 窪 simply refers to hollowness; thus, her surname means hollow doll. This correlates with her powers as a Puella and her backstory.

The Kanji characters that form Katsuki (克己) is actually a noun, and it signifies self-denial or self control. The characters can also be read as Kokki, the 16 year old's magical alias. Although, looking at the terms separately, 克 means to overcome skillfully/kindly and 己 means self.

Trivia

 * Born in early January, her Zodiac sign is Capricorn. Capricorns are structured and disciplined, and while they can appear controlling, they do this to avoid chaos.
