She lives in Heliopolis, a space colony in Orb where she is enrolled in the technical college with Kira, Sai, Flay, Tolle and Kuzzey. She is inseparable with her boyfriend Tolle, almost attached at the hip, but they do not show their affection in public. Her personality is mature and well-rounded.

Shizuka is the smart, kind, and pretty neighborhood girl who is the object of Nobita's affections. She takes baths several times a day. Nobita often disrupts her in the bath due to some misuse of Doraemon's gadgets, resulting in Nobita's head getting dunked. She is also known for taking piano lessons unwillingly, which is sometimes used as an excuse for declining to hang out with Nobita. Her true passions are sweet potatoes, which she'd rather keep to herself out of the knowledge of others, and the violin, in which her playing is as atrocious as Gian's singing. Due to Doraemon's intervention, Shizuka will become Nobita's wife in the future timeline, and the mother of his son.

Calaveras (Avery in the English versions) is the second-oldest of the sisters and has the ability, much like Tuxedo Mask, of communing with spirits of the dead. She uses the energy of her deceased sisters to attack Sailor Venus in the manga whom she fails to kidnap. She is named for the mineral calaverite, and is a counterpart of Minako Aino. She attacks with a whip similar to Venus' Love Me Chain attack, known as the &quot;Dark Love Whip&quot; according to the Sailor Moon R anime album and the Another Story Super Famicom RPG. Calaveras is the only sister in the manga who Rubeus appears to flirt with.  In the manga, she is the last sister to appear, and her mission is &quot;Code:004, Operation Re-birth.&quot; She is shown to have the power of channeling, and channels the spirit of Rubeus into Tokyo to brainwash the humans and change their allegiance from the White Moon to the Black Moon and to get them to destroy the Silver Crystal. When Sailor Venus confronts her at the channeling, Calaveras channels the three captive Sailor Senshi through Kotono, Asanuma, and Naru, as well as the spirits of her dead sisters, and has them use a Spirit Attack against Venus and holds her captive. However, because Rubeus was already injured by Tuxedo Mask, he is not able to collect Venus, and Calaveras is killed by Sailor Moon when she comes to rescue Venus.    In the anime, Calaveras is shown to be a petty woman who indulges in relentlessly teasing her other siblings, especially Petz. She also appears unwilling to do anything for herself. She never accepts a single mission and instead tags along on several of Petz' missions and also follows Petz on one occasion to steal credit for Berthier's final mission. Even her final mission is one of Petz', in which the elder sister was asked to use a powerful stick to kill the Sailor Senshi and her now purified siblings Cooan and Berthier. While on the mission, Calaveras urges Petz to go ahead and kill the other two girls, but Petz, corrupted by the stick, decides to kill all three of them. Shocked by Petz's betrayal, Calaveras is shown pity by Sailor Moon and eventually comes to understand human love. She then tells the other Sailor Senshi about the stick's power. When Rubeus arrives and uses the stick to create a time-vacuum on the bridge, Calaveras stops Petz from falling into the vortex by catching her using her whip. After the Sailor Senshi destroy the stick, Calaveras accepts purification and becomes a normal human woman.

Although they are young, they approach into harsh duels and love to be with Yusei. Lua is a boy who is lively and blundering. He also thinks about protecting his delicate sister.   ~!In the manga, he seems to be influenced by a Card of Darkness and works as a duel assassin under Godwin. He rides a D-Wheel shared with Ruka, who is seated behind him. He holds the manga equivalent of Power Tool Dragon.!~

Luca, along with her twin brother Lua, aid Yusei Fudo, whom they adore and support in his duels while making fun of fate. Luca is calm and collected.  Luca is able to communicate with Duel Spirits following an incident eight years before the Fortune Cup. She was revered as a duel prodigy at the young age of three and while duelling, collapsed, falling into a coma that lasted a month. The cause of the coma was her spirit leaving the human world and entering the world of Duel Spirits, meeting Ancient Fairy Dragon who spoke of impending danger in the years ahead. Naïve to the true extent of what was to come, Luca promised the vulnerable Duel Monsters that she would stay, only to wake some time later.  Despite being the Signer bearing the Front Claw [Rear Claw in the dub], Luca doesn’t hold the dragon that fulfils her position as one of the legendary five. What she learns through a dream at the time Godwin explains the legend to Yusei is that Ancient Fairy Dragon was captured by the dying Uru at the end of the previous conflict 5000 years ago and forced inside the cliff face that she saw when her duel with Frank in the Fortune Cup returned her to the world and restored her memory of the promise. During the tournament, despite early uneasy feelings around Yusei, she bonds with him. Her Birthmark is revealed and confirmed by Yusei during her duel with Frank in which he is able to send her to the Duel Spirit World in the hope of taking it over, Yusei is the one to catch Luca when she returns, able to fight on after hearing Lua’s pleas for her to fight, her brother unable to completely cross over.   __Season 2__  ~!After the tournament, Yanagi and Himuro become somewhat guardians to the twins and escort them to a dinner party at the Arcadia Movement that Divine invites them to after Yusei’s return to Satellite. However, Divine sets his sights about including Luca in the Movement, using Lua as bait and to test the boy’s skills. After he falls to Divine, Lua remains unconscious and Luca stays by his side until Himuro and Yanagi arrive, aware something is wrong after the two Games of Darkness begin in the building. Luca senses Aki’s presence as an active duellist and leads the others to witness some of her duel with Misty Lola.  When the Earthbound Gods Aslla Piscu and Ccarayhua are summoned, Luca’s Birthmark activates and creates a shield around the group, revealing to them that the Birthmarks have the power to protect people from the soul-absorbing power of the Earthbound Gods. Luca and Lua watch from the outside as the duels end and Aki remains comatose. They join Yusei, Jack and Aki as they visit Godwin where Luca defends Lua’s presence despite not being a Signer, threatening Godwin that she will go nowhere without him.  Luca’s real challenge comes in Satellite after the Signers split up where she is transported to the Duel Spirit World, leaving Lua to volunteer to fight Demak who holds Ancient Fairy Dragon, the card Hakase Fudo dropped during his escape from Rudger’s security, leaving the later Spider Dark Signer to retrieve it. Luca meets with Trunka, an elderly mage who has been turned into a young boy by the effects of Zemon, the Demonic Monkey King, and the staffs his goons wield. In the process of escaping, Kuribon - Luca’s faithful spiritual partner, Sunlight Unicorn and Sunny Pixie sacrifice themselves in order to protect Luca.  She and Trunka venture out to find Regulus - a loyal servant of Ancient Fairy Dragon - who has one of the staffs around one of his hind legs. Because of the staff, everything Luca pleads is reversed into threats directed at Ancient Fairy Dragon, enraging him until he chases them to a large log over a raging river. Again, her pleads for help fail and the three fall from the log and into the river. Raising her arm to signal Regulus, the lion notices the Birthmark on her arm and overrides the Minus effect, the staff breaking loose from his leg. As they head over the waterfall, Luca uses the Minus staff in her possession to reverse the flow of water and drag them back into the river.  As they approach Zemon’s castle, Luca notices that her clothes are getting larger - the Minus effect is affecting her as well as everyone else. She plots to enter the castle pretending to have captured Regulus in order to get to Zemon. The plan is a success and she witnesses Zemon beginning to release Ancient Fairy Dragon until Trunka accidentally exposes them. Regulus and Power Tool Dragon, on Lua’s side of the battle, destroy Zemon simultaneously, reverting everyone back to their true selves. Trunka sends Luca back to the human world.  Returned to the battle field just as Lua hangs over the brink of defeat, Luca takes it upon herself to complete the battle with Lua and Power Tool Dragon by her side. Demak has Ancient Fairy Dragon come to the field, only for Luca to later gain her, Regulus severing the chains that bound the captured dragon. Together; she, Power Tool and Ancient Fairy destroy Demak’s Earthbound God - Cusillu, the first to fall. Regulus and Ancient Fairy Dragon thank her before they appear in her hands as cards. After the duel, Luca stays with Ushio, Lua and Yusei - who has deviated from his journey towards the Giant Tower - as they witness all but Jack’s duels to bring down the Earthbound God. During the final battle, Luca summons Ancient Fairy Dragon in order to hold off the Underworld King’s minions who threaten Yusei, Jack and Crow.!~   __Season 3__  ~!Six months after the Signer War and Luca and Lua have returned to Duel Academy along their friends Tenpei, Patty, Bob and the outsider Sly. Luca reaches out to Sly, but he seems reluctant to take part in their friendship. During a journey with Lua and Tenpei into a forest, Luca comes across a mansion and enters, despite pleas from Kuribon and Regulus. There she meets Michael, a boy who stays by his sister, Claire’s side. Luca soon learns that the mansion is the site where people have vanished and watches on as Lua duels Michael to save her from becoming another victim.  After the landing of the Skiel tablet, Lucciano enrolls in Duel Academy and catches Luca’s eye. She quickly befriends him and learns about his D-Board, the tool underage duellists can use for Riding Duels in the place of a D-Wheel. Lucciano teaches Luca how to use it and she finds Lua practicing on a highway later on after he has Yusei build him one. As they play, a boy intervenes and drags the two into a duel. Luca learns that the boy is none other than Lucciano and fights back with Ancient Fairy Dragon. However, his Infinity monster attempts to capture the dragon, stopped only by Lua’s interference. Despite their impressive duelling, both twins are defeated by Lucciano, but without any losses, to Luca’s relief.!~  Much like Yugi Muto and Judai [Jaden] Yuki, Luca has a spiritual partner in the Kuriboh family - Kuribon. Her role in Season 3 is reduced as a result on the focus of Riding Duels and the elder Signers and companions.   ~!In the manga, she seems to be influenced by a Card of Darkness and works as a duel assassin under Godwin. She holds the manga equivalent of Ancient Fairy Draogn.!~

Taiga is a girl in Ryuuji's class. She has a well-regulated and beautiful appearance though is unable to stomach company from others. Due to her often snapping at others in brutal ways and her short stature, she is given the nickname "Palmtop Tiger". Her under-developed body and the added nickname has given her a complex which in turn serves to give her a negative attitude and facial expression. Essentially, Taiga gets upset easily and is considerably clumsy. She is also brutally honest, typically when she is lashing out at someone. Due to her cute looks (described as a doll by Ryuuji), she often gets confessions of love by boys, but she turns down every one of them, including Yūsaku Kitamura (which she later regrets).

Her father's business went bankrupt and he ran away, leaving Taiga in the care of her mother who was already remarried and had a new family of her own. Taiga has difficulty getting along with her step-father and half-sibling and since then, she has taken to living on her own. Since she came from a privileged household, she does not know how to do any domestic chores. When she meets Ryuuji and learns of his domestic talents, she ends up relying on Ryuuji to clean up after her. Aside from sleeping in her own house, and going to school, she spends most of her time at Ryuuji's house; so much so that she is considered a member of his family. At the beginning of the story, she is infatuated with his best friend Yūsaku Kitamura and gets nervous every time he appears around her. Due to this, Taiga and Ryuuji team up to help each other get into a relationship with each other's best friend.

Later in the manga it is revealed that she is actually Sailor Ceres, one of the four protectors of Chibiusa.    In the anime, she tends to be arrogant and haughty, and chases after people that will highlight her perceived beauty for her, such as when she chased after an artist and asked him to repaint her.

She stated that Takeru Ohyama is her mortal enemy after she saw the mark on his chest. Although its has yet to be confirmed if she still feels that way as she has kissed him on a few occasions leaving the cast a bit bewildered and annoyed.

A female droid who was summoned by Berthier in episode 62. She was assigned with the task of corrupting the Soft Ice Cream Shop Bob Floy, an ice cream shop located on one of the Crystal Points of the future city of Crystal Tokyo, with Dark Power. She assumed human form, took over the establishment, and posed as a saleswoman there. However, the ice cream that Nipasu sold was designed to induce negative emotions and feelings of thermophobia in those who ate it, driving them to purchase and consume more of it. Eventually, the consumers would end up being frozen within solid blocks of ice and stored in the large cold room at the back of the ice cream store, thereby contributing to the corruption of the Crystal Point with Dark Power. After failing to dispose of the victims in the storeroom, Berthier and threatened the droid with destruction if she did not do so quickly. Nipasu set out to destroy the victims, but before she could do so, she was confronted by Minako Aino and Luna.

After revealing her true form, the Droid quickly incapacitated Luna, but was soon confronted by Minako, who had transformed into Sailor Venus, as well as by Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter. Even though she was outnumbered, the powerful villain may have ended up destroying the senshi, but was distracted by Sailor Mercury&#039;s Shine Aqua Illusion long enough for Sailor Moon to destroy her with Moon Princess Halation. To attack, Nipasu emitted a blizzard of snow and ice from her mouth that was cold enough to freeze individuals in solid ice. Nipasu had dark green eyes and light blue-green hair.

[Kazuto](https://anilist.co/character/36765)'s sister in the real world. She is 15 years old and in her third year of junior high, as well as a member of the Kendou club. She's a diligent worker and has been practicing Kendou for 8 years.    ~!In the VRMMO game *Alfheim Online*, she is known as Leafa, a Sylph fairy.

He is a familiar who can grant any wish to a certain girl, on the condition that she becomes a Puella Magi and fights against witches. 
~!When someone makes a contract with him, he extracts their soul and places it inside a Soul Gem, replacing their body with a shell that's more resilient to fighting witches.  He has made contracts with Mami, Kyoko, Homura, and Sayaka, and shows particular interest in making Madoka a Puella Magi. It is unknown if there are other familiars besides him. He can only be seen or heard by Puella Magi and those who have potential to become a Puella Magi. He also disposes of used Grief Seeds for the Puella Magi, because, if they are used too extensively, the witch could become reborn from the Grief Seed. He also constantly tries to find chances to persuade girls who have potential to become Puella Magi to form a contract with him, despite the fact that he knows the dangers that Puella Magi face. Much to his dismay, he cannot force a girl to become a Puella Magi.  He doesn't fully understand human values and questions any perceived differences between himself and humans. For example, when Madoka claims that he is cruel for forming contracts with girls and turning them into Puella Magi, he compares his actions to the act of humans slaughtering livestock, saying that, unlike humans, who show a lack of interest and sympathy for other creatures' values when it comes to their own survival, he at least recognizes humans as being sentient beings and tries to negotiate with them. Therefore, Kyuubey is neither evil nor good, just a survivor like everyone else. !~

__Major Spoiler:__  ~!Kyuubey is an "Incubator" and from an advanced alien species whose civilization is located far away from Earth. A long time ago, his species took alarm to the gradual heat death of the universe, and, in their search for a solution to it, encountered a species on Earth, humans, who exhibited emotions, something Kyuubey's species does not have. They then subsequently discovered a type of energy called emotional energy that could be used efficiently counter entropy, and also realized that teenage human females, who are very emotionally unstable during their mental and physical development throughout puberty, harbor the most emotional energy of all humans.  Therefore, it is Kyuubey's duty to form contracts with teenage girls and to collect the emotional energy that is created when the girl becomes a Puella Magi. However, it is also his duty to collect the massive amount of emotional energy that is created when a Puella Magi transforms into a witch, and to consume Grief Seeds, which also contain large amounts of emotional energy.  It seems that negative emotions such as hatred and despair yield more emotional energy than positive emotions, since Kyuubey comments that the amount of emotional energy created when a girl becomes a Puella Magi is nothing compared to the explosion of emotional energy created when a Puella Magi transforms into a witch. Thus, it could be said that Kyuubey's main purpose is to "incubate" girls' souls in Soul Gems until they become filled with so much negative emotion that they transform into Grief Seeds and "hatch" into witches, and to then "harvest" the emotional energy created from the transformation.  Also, whenever Kyuubey is killed, he is instantly reincarnated (for lack of a better word) into a new body with the same appearance and disposes of his previous body by eating it. He seems to have an endless supply of spare bodies, so, it might not be possible to kill him in a conventional fashion.!~
