Urara Yume is a lively and hard-working magical girl from the mobile game *Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story*. Once a famous street performer in her hometown, Urara moves to Futaki City where she becomes involved with the Promised Blood organization. Driven by a desire to be helpful and to achieve her dreams, she faces inner struggles with self-worth, relationships, and past tragedies. With her signature yo-yo and a wealth of acrobatic talent, Urara stands out for her upbeat personality, awkward but endearing speech, and her continual pursuit to make everyone around her smile, even as she faces the complex and often harsh realities of being a magical girl.
Urara wears a green sailor uniform that stands out with vibrant energy. She has distinctive double buns and sharp, snake-like eyes, reflecting her playful performer roots. Her transformation as a magical girl gives her a look reminiscent of a chameleon, and she wields a yo-yo as her weapon. Her Soul Gem, split in half in the center, is yellow-green and located on her right hip.
Physical Attributes:
- Height: 153 cm
- Age: 13 (First-year middle school student)
Urara is optimistic, energetic, and earnest, fully devoted to helping those around her. Her go-getter attitude often leads her to act impulsively, sometimes resulting in clumsy mistakes. She is unable to be genuinely cruel, even to enemies, demonstrating notable kindness. Despite her cheerful demeanor—marked by her unique use of “uchi” (referring to herself), sentence endings like “-n yo”, and her infectious “Nipa!” smile—she often struggles with feelings of inadequacy. Her warmth and sociability make her endearing, but she wrestles with emotional insecurities and the fear of not living up to her own or others’ expectations.
Urara hails from Yunokuni City, where she made a name for herself as a prodigious young street performer. She comes from a financially challenged household and has younger siblings to care for, which drives her to be responsible and consider the well-being of others. Her dream was to bring joy to the world as part of the world’s best performance duo, aiming to make everyone laugh alongside her partner Kurara. Sadly, a misunderstanding and inability to recognize Kurara's feelings led to the deterioration of their relationship, resulting in a painful outcome for Urara.
After encountering Rabi Himuro and her group, as well as Kyubey, she learns of the existence of magical girls and makes her wish ("Save Kurara") to become one. She later relocates to Futaki City, joins Promised Blood, and becomes involved in their affairs, including secret activities under the organization "Folklore at Midnight."
Urara’s magical girl form grants her the use of a yo-yo with a special thread that not only binds foes but also can slice through anything it touches. Her yo-yo and combat style draw from her street performance background, with skills that reflect her acrobatic flair.
- Innate Magic: Attraction/manipulation—she can draw things toward her or trap them.

Urara has a complicated relationship with Kurara, her former performance partner, and still feels guilt over their fallout. She is a supportive presence within Promised Blood, serving as a watcher and caretaker for Ui Tamaki, and develops bonds with fellow members. Urara’s kindness extends to children as a coach at the "Diabolo Classroom," where she helps inspire young performers.

- “Letting someone go just because they’re worried about you doesn’t make sense. Nipa!”
- “I can be useful too!”
- “Miracle Trick Strike!”

- “Is there anything I can even do…?”
