Sunao Toki is a key character in "Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story." She is a former assassin and a magical girl of the Tokime Clan with a timid yet compassionate personality. Despite her dark past carrying out orders against magical girls who broke village rules, Sunao now seeks redemption by caring for her community and supporting her friends, especially Shizuka Tokime and Chiharu Hiroe. Her gentle manner and thoughtful nature have made her beloved by adults and admired as a big-sister figure by younger villagers. Struggling with lingering guilt, she still shines as a dependable ally, gifted healer, and protector of those in need.
Sunao stands at 162 cm tall and is noted for her gentle expression and a distinguishing mole on her right cheek. She usually wears classic Western-inspired outfits. Her Soul Gem appears as a yellow teardrop-shaped jewel positioned on the ribbon below her chest. Her magical transformation outfit and weapon—a crystal orb—reflect her village heritage with elegant touches.
Sunao is a natural worrier, overflowing with empathy and always attentive to the feelings of others. She listens closely to those around her, providing quiet comfort and thoughtful advice. While adults value her for her maturity, younger villagers look up to her as a caring and reliable older sister. Despite her warm demeanor, the weight of her former deeds often casts a shadow over her, giving her moments of visible sorrow.
Originally from a branch family living at the foot of the Tokime village, Sunao was once assigned the grim role of eliminating magical girls who disobeyed her clan’s rules. She became a magical girl after wishing for her parents’ anxieties about her to be resolved by Kyubey. However, becoming a priestess only deepened their worries due to the dangers she faced. Breaking with tradition by making her own wish, Sunao fell out of favor with the clan’s priest, and was forced to monitor and, if needed, assassinate any priestess who rebelled. Now, she seeks to redeem herself by acting as a caretaker for the settlement and supporting her friends.
