Mamika Kirameki (煌樹 まみか Kirameki Mamika) is a young girl who is the protagonist and heroine of the magical girl anime series Magical Slayer Mamika (マジカルスレイヤー・まみか Majikaru Sureiyā Mamika). She is a magical girl that fights day and night to prevent the power of smiles from falling into Akumarin's hands. She also has friends named Melt and Karin. The person who gave her power is the Fairy of the Land of Eternity, Mirimiri.
Personality[]
Mamika has a kind and caring, yet childish and naive nature, and supports Altair's professed plan to force their creators to alter their worlds. However, she does not hesitate to fight those who don't agree with her. A comedic quirk of her origin as a kids' TV character leads her to have significant trouble remembering names - notably Selesia's and Meteora's. She does not initially hesitate to use violence in solving her problems, due to the fact that her world of origin has very few consequences for physical trauma. Compared to that world, when Mamika firsts realizes the destructive and lethal potential that her powers have in the Creators' world, she becomes more hesitant to engage in combat.
History[]
Mamika first appears in episode 2 getting the attention of children around her before she notices Selesia and Meteora and tries to convince them to cooperate with the Military Uniform Princess. When the two refuse, Mamika transforms into her magical girl form and throws Selesia out of the window, triggering an aerial fight scene, in which it is shown that she has siginificant power in the Creators' world - more so than Selesia without Vogelchevalier. Mamika manages to knock Selesia to the ground with her "Magical Splash" attack. Mamika then looks around to see the damage that has been done to the city, and turns around as Selesia gets up and asks her if she is okay, only for Selesia to respond that it hurts. Mamika was surprised, due to the lack of meaningful consequences for violence in her world of origin. Mamika, in a fit of panic, fires at Selesia with a "Magical Splash Flare" attack, only for it to be blocked by Yuya Mirokuji.
In episode 3 Yuya is about to attack Mamika, but then is stopped by Alicetaria February, who rescues Mamika on her pegasus. In the last scene of the episode, Mamika can be seen watching the Military Uniform Princess from a distance.
At the start of episode 4 Mamika and Alicetaria are flying together on Alicetaria's pegasus, in order to return to their hideout with Blitz Talker and Military Uniform Princess, where Mamika watches from a distance as Alicetaria, Blitz and Military Uniform Princess interrogate Alicetaria's creator. Mamika later prepares food for Alicetaria.
In episode 6 Mamika and Alicetaria continue to spend time together. They are later tasked with tracking down Magane Chikujoin, but a fight breaks out between Alicetaria and Blitz against Selesia and Meteora. When Blitz knocks Meteora to the ground, Mamika tries to protect her.
In episode 7 Mamika turns against Alicetaria and Blitz and leaves as the fight concludes when Rui Kanoya arrives in Gigas Machina. Mamika later meets with Sōta Mizushino.
In episode 8 Mamika returns to Alicetaria and the two of them have a talk. Mamika then goes to argue with the Military Uniform Princess, who - after hearing her true name - impales Mamika with a sword through her back, but not before Mamika uses a colossal Magical Splash Flare to destroy the hideout entirely.
In episode 9 Mamika flies through the city before falling and being found by Magane Chikujoin. Alicetaria soon arrives and holds Mamika in her hands before she dies.
In episode 22 Takarada gains authorization to do a crossover with his story so Alicetaria could meet Mamika again.
Powers and Abilities[]
Magical Ribbon Spells[]
- Magical Dolce Patissiere: By using a ribbon Mamika has she can turn the ribbon into a wand which she uses to transform into her 'Magical Slayer Mamika' form.
- Magical Splash: Using her wand Mamika forms a spell circle with heart shapes around the outside plus wings and inside the circle is a small heart shape in a larger heart shape with four wings in the corners of the outline of the heart. This attack was able to throw Selesia to the ground and do a lot of damage to her.
- Magical Splash Flare: Pretty much the same attack as Magical Splash but in this version the heart opens up then closes right before contact and on contact creates a huge explosion rather than just smashing into the opponent and throwing them back. Supposedly this is her ultimate attack. It is later revealed she intentionally held back using this attack, afraid of the harm it would do to others.
- Shining Shower: Mamika releases a barrage of hearts from her wand to attack the opponent with.
Flight[]
Mamika has the ability of flight.
Etymology[]

Trivia[]
- Mamika's appearance takes great inspiration from Madoka Kaname from the anime television series Puella Magi Madoka Magica, even sharing the same resolve to bring peace to the world despite seeing how dark the world is. Her outfit, weapon and powers are inspired by Sailor Moon (for the character with the same name, click here).
- Mamika's actual show is quite light-hearted and likely a parallel to Pretty Cure, or a similar show.
- Mamika is the only creation whose creator's identity and status were never revealed nor mentioned throughout the story.
- The reason for why Rei Hiroe made this character with no "creator" was left unknown. As fans were too lazy to report and update this issue despite it was easy to notice.
