Chisato Shion is a 14-year-old magical girl attending Akanegasaki Junior High School in Hoozuki City. Known for her strong sense of justice, Chisato balances her magical girl duties with roles as a disciplinary committee member and swim team participant. Her magic was born from a wish to reform her troubled father after her mother's passing. With a police-inspired magical costume, dual handguns, and the ability to dispel magical effects, Chisato stands out for her seriousness, maturity, and devotion to her teammates—especially Arisa Narumi. Her story explores themes of family, self-sacrifice, and friendship, making her a memorable character in both the Puella Magi Suzune Magica manga and Magia Record game.
Chisato stands at 155.4 cm tall, weighs 44.7 kg, and has blood type A.
As a magical girl, she dons a striking blue costume inspired by a police officer and competitive swimwear.
Her outfit features a high-leg leotard paired with a slim belt resembling a skirt, and the skirt was later adjusted to be slightly longer.
Chisato’s Soul Gem is blue, shaped like a magatama droplet, and appears on her chest after transformation.
Chisato is earnest, valuing fairness and righteousness above all else.
She always addresses her senior, Haruka Kanade, respectfully and isn’t afraid to reprimand classmates like Arisa Narumi when necessary.
Though generally calm and composed, her nurturing side shines when she supports and reforms friends, notably helping Arisa change for the better.
Chisato is also quite domestic, handling housework and occasionally aided by her father.
Chisato became a magical girl after making a wish to "help her father become a kind and ideal parent."
Her father, once a popular picture book author, became abusive toward her mother—and eventually Chisato—after his career declined.
Her mother’s death escalated the family’s turmoil, leading Chisato to seek help through her contract.
Her father's retirement from writing is explicitly mentioned in Magia Record.
Chisato’s key ability is the cancellation of magical effects—a unique trait confirmed by the series' author.
In battle, she fights with swift acrobatics and expert dual-wielding of handguns, making her attacks fast and precise.
Her power set excels at supporting teammates through attack boosts, disabling enemy skills, increasing damage after charging, and removing buffs or inflicting status effects like binding.
Chisato shares a close friendship with Arisa Narumi, having once fought and then guided her to reform her behavior and join her side.
She holds deep respect for Haruka Kanade, addressing her with honorifics.
Her devotion to friends is a defining trait, reflected in her determination to protect and better those around her.
Her future dream is to become a police officer or a judge.
Due to her lack of talent in land sports, she joined the swim team.
Though her main series appearance is brief, supplemental stories and Magia Record events greatly expand on her character with humor and touching moments—like collaborating on a picture book or showing emotional vulnerability around her friends.
She generates comedic chaos in events, such as the Kamihama Prison riot.
Her special in-game Memoria is titled "The Witch, the Wolf, and the Villager," illustrated by mepo.
