Yozuru Sasame is a magical girl appearing in the mobile game "Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story." As a member of the traveling adjusters team, Puella Care, she comes to Kamihama City to provide adjustments and support to other magical girls. Outwardly polite and composed, all her kindness is meticulously calculated, following teachings from her mentor Livia Medeiros. Having lost her genuine sense of kindness after making her wish, Yozuru keeps a handwritten list of "kind actions" to simulate compassion. Her tragic past with her mother and her unique wish have deeply shaped her emotional state and abilities, making her one of the most intriguing supporting characters in the story.
Yozuru Sasame has an androgynous appearance with neat, gentlemanly features.
She stands at 164cm tall.
Yozuru wears an elegant, black tailcoat resembling a butler's uniform, accentuated by a ribbon tie—hosting her emerald green, cross-shaped Soul Gem.
Although she may appear refined and delicate, Yozuru possesses surprising physical strength.
Yozuru's demeanor is consistently polite, calm, and respectful.
These traits are not innate but are instead learned behaviors, rigorously adopted from Livia Medeiros as a "means to survive."
She is highly logical, maintains a strictly neutral stance in conflicts, and is dedicated to her role as an adjuster.
An absence of empathic emotions sets her apart—she openly states she lacks true kindness, relying on memo notes outlining how to act gently toward others.
Despite this, she is well-liked due to her attentive service.
When provoked, she can become frighteningly intense.
Early in her magical girl career, Yozuru even used masculine language.
Yozuru was raised by a strict mother who could be kind one moment, then harsh and even physically abusive the next if Yozuru failed to meet her standards.
During her rebellious adolescence, their relationship grew tense.
A tragic accident cut her mother’s life short.
After her mother's death, Yozuru discovered through her mother's maternal health handbook the depth of love and regret her mother had harbored.
Crippled by guilt for not recognizing this love sooner and unable to express her gratitude or offer an apology, Yozuru fell into despair.
Initially, she wished to Kyubey to die and apologize to her mother, but changed her mind, believing it would be running away.
Instead, she wished "to be able to live as herself, even when she wishes to die."
This wish resulted in her losing her ability to feel kindness, forcing her to survive without it.
Yozuru’s wish granted her the ability to "cut off" emotions, both from herself and others.
Her unique magic includes adjusting and separating people's hearts and feelings as needed.
She specializes as a power-type, possessing remarkable physical strength and offensive capability.
Her weapon of choice is a staff.
Her Soul Gem is cross-shaped and located on her ribbon tie.

Yozuru’s primary mentor is Livia Medeiros, whose teachings on survival and simulated kindness she follows closely.
She works as a central member of Puella Care, interacting with many magical girls in Kamihama City, assisting and adjusting them while maintaining her neutrality.

- "What have you been doing until now?"
- "Please don't worry. No matter what, I remain neutral."
- "There are too many obstacles to living."
- "I can fake being a kind person."
- "Let me live as the self who wants to die."
- "And that is why…I will continue to live."
The Harsh Upbringing
From a young age, Yozuru was raised under the stern gaze of her mother.
Her mother alternated between warmth and severity, sometimes resorting to physical discipline when Yozuru did not meet expectations.
This inconsistent love and strictness deeply affected Yozuru's sense of self-worth.
Rebellion and Loss
During adolescence, conflicts between Yozuru and her mother intensified.
Tragically, before reconciliation could be achieved, her mother died in a car accident, leaving their relationship unresolved.
It was only after her mother's passing that Yozuru read the maternal health handbook, uncovering details of her mother’s deep affection, and the regret she carried.
The Wish and Its Price
Consumed by guilt, Yozuru initially wished upon Kyubey for her own death so she could apologize to her mother.
However, she rejected this “escape," instead wishing to be able to live as someone who feels a desire to die—but persists regardless.
As a result, Yozuru’s kindness was severed from her heart, leaving her alive but emotionally numb.
Adjuster in Kamihama
Arriving in Kamihama City as part of the Puella Care team, Yozuru sought to serve as an impartial adjuster for magical girls.
Still yearning to reconnect with a lost sense of empathy, she diligently follows a notebook of “kind actions,” striving to embody the appearance of compassion.
Her efforts and skills have earned her a good reputation, despite her own conviction that she does not possess a genuine heart.
Core of Puella Care
In the main storyline’s "Gathering of a Hundred Calamities" arc, Yozuru emerges as a key figure, guiding and supporting other adjusters and magical girls.
Her internal struggles and journey to find meaning drive her ongoing story, as she wrestles with the void within herself while upholding her duty to others.
- The meaning of her name comes from a wish for her to be enveloped in maternal and abundant love—“Yozuru” refers to “night heron.”
- She treasures her “maternal health handbook” as a memento of her mother.
- Her calculated conduct is a direct result of her efforts to survive, not genuine emotion.
- Her stoic and gentle appearance sometimes leads others to compare her to Mitama Yakumo, though their personalities differ greatly.
- When she first became a magical girl, she used masculine speech patterns.
- Yozuru’s dedication to neutrality and service make her a distinctive adjuster within Puella Care.
- She strives to live strongly, facing her internal conflicts head-on, while supporting others on their journeys as magical girls.
