Livia Medeiros is a mysterious and respected "Adjustment Specialist" in Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record. Known as the leader of the traveling adjustment group Puella Care and as the mentor of Mitama Yakumo, she maintains strict neutrality among magical girls while acting as a key player behind the scenes. Despite her cheerful and flamboyant demeanor, her past is laden with hardship and tragedy, impacting her principles and methods as a magical girl and teacher.
Livia Medeiros possesses dark brown skin and wears distinctive glasses, adding to her exotic allure.
She is 168 cm tall.
Her outfit features a black-based mini-skirt style complemented by striking stockings, giving her a sense of sharp elegance and confidence.
Her signature accessory is a silk hat, from which she pulls out various things during battles.
Her primary color themes are purple and blue, reflected in both her clothes and the interior of her beloved camper van, which doubles as her mobile residence.
Livia is famous for her playful, sometimes flamboyant attitude, mixing humor with sharp wit.
She casually switches between being the joker and taking the lead in a conversation, often using mock-dead performances to break tension.
She claims to be neutral, treating all magical girls as her "cute apprentices."
However, beneath the surface, she's acutely aware she sometimes fans the flames of conflict.
She largely avoids deep emotional attachments, driven by guilt and fear related to her magical abilities.
Livia speaks in dialect, but it's not her native speech—she adopted it to smoothen communication.
Early Life
Livia was raised by her father after her mother, a foreigner, left.
After her father's death in an accident, she went to live with her mother but couldn't communicate due to the language barrier.
Returning to Japan, she was placed in a facility where she endured bullying, eventually running away to live on the streets.
She was caught by adults and sold to a theater troupe but fled when she discovered that those deemed useless were "disposed of."
Collapsing from exhaustion, she encountered Kyubey and contracted to become a magical girl, wishing to "become evil itself."
Later Events
She briefly found a supportive adult she could trust but withdrew after her Grief Seed powers manifested.
When her mentor died in an accident caused by Livia's powers, she became reclusive and focused on controlling her influence and fulfilling Kyubey's requirements as quickly as possible.
Her reluctance to emotionally invest in her apprentices, Yozuru Sasame and Sudachi Sawa, stems from this tragic history.
Livia's unique magic grants her adjustment and harmful abilities.
She serves as a Support-type magical girl in the game, equipped with the following:
- Attribute: None
- Rarity: ★4 to 5
- Disc configuration: 2 Accele, 1 Charge, 1 vertical Blast, 1 horizontal Blast
- Connect Skill: Increases attack, boosts damage against status-affected enemies, and inflicts guaranteed curse
- Magia: "Paradise Magic Game" deals damage to all enemies, lowers their resistance to status conditions and defense for 3 turns
- Doppel: "Doppel of the Realm of Suffering" deals similar wide-area debuffs and damage
- Exclusive Memory: "Blessings to You"
Livia's silk hat can produce an array of combat items.
Her adjustment powers help magical girls survive even if they're unable to fight, by teaching them alternative techniques.
She theorizes girls with especially cursed wishes make the best adjustment specialists.
She is the leader of the Puella Care adjustment group and acts as mentor to Mitama Yakumo, Yozuru Sasame, and Sudachi Sawa.
Despite her warmth, Livia keeps distance from her apprentices, believing involvement causes harm due to her cursed wish.
She holds connections with multiple factions in Kamihama City, providing information—and sometimes instigating discord.
- "Mitama Yakumo, you too are another magical girl who wished for Nayuta's curse."
- "They're all my precious apprentices."
- "This is nothing but a passing fancy."
- "Paradise Magic Game."
- "Doppel of the Realm of Suffering."
- "No one loves Yozuru and Sudachi more than I do, dammit!!"
- "Don't you dare steal them from me, you stupid, damn fake!!"
Livia is said to be the first magical girl to have "becoming evil itself" as her wish.
She wears glasses mainly for fashion rather than nearsightedness.
She cannot speak her mother’s native language.
She is working on developing a kitchen car to support her travels.
Her love for camper vans borders on obsession.
