Kazama Mayuko (風間万裕子)^[1]

Minakami Sayo (水神 (みなかみ) 小夜 (さよ) ^?), also known by her magical girl alias Magia Azul^[2] (マジアアズール, Majia Azūru^?), is a member of Tres Magia. She was recruited by Magia Magenta ^[3]

Appearance[]

Sayo has long, straight teal hair and burgundy-colored eyes. In her school uniform, she wears a yellow tie with a green collar and skirt. She also has dark gray socks with brown shoes.

As Magia Azul, she wears a teal version of the Tres Magia magical outfit.

When in La Verita, she wears what appears to be a version of a shrine maiden's outfit.

Personality[]

Sayo is a calm and composed person, part of which is attributed to her being a shrine maiden. As shown in the flashback leading to her making the decision to become Magia Azul, she is also a brave person who does not hesitate to help others.

However, after fighting Magia Baiser, she begins to change. She becomes more aggressive, fighting recklessly and putting herself in danger. Due to being restrained and tormented by Schiavo multiple times, Sayo has developed a masochistic side, having become eager to be attacked by Baiser again. Upon realizing this, she develops some kind love for Baiser and doesn't know it completely.

However, after multiple battles, the hate changes and becomes an obsession with being "punished" by Baiser. After the midnight duel with the Enormita member, Sayo is completely submissive to Baiser, crawling on the ground, drooling lustfully and begging to be punished more, even going as far as attempting to lick Baiser's feet. When Baiser kicks her and gives a scathing lecture expressing her disbelief and disgust, Sayo regains her composure and throws herself into training with renewed vigor.

However, her masochistic tendencies are still strong, as she pretended to be meditating under a waterfall while Tres Magia was training, when in reality she simply wanted to feel pleasure from intense pressure being applied all over her body. It has gone to the point where she obtained the La Verità transformation to be able to indulge in her masochism without anyone noticing, though Kaoruko was able to figure it out instantly.

Her masochism and obsession with "fighting" with Enormita has gone to the point where she shows envy when Magenta or Sulfur get the chance to fight them but she does not, as seen when she glares enviously and drools after seeing Magenta without her panties after the latter fought Nero Alice.

Recently, she's been troubled by sleepless nights.

Abilities[]

Trans-Magia (変身 (トランスマジア) , Toransu Majia^?, lit. "Transform") is a power that transforms Sayo into her Magia Azul form. Sayo can perform Trans-Magia by using a transformation heart provided by Vatz.

Recognition Inhibition (認識阻害, Ninshiki Sogai^?) is an ability that prevents people from recognizing a transformed magic user.

Condensation Manipulation is Sayo's main magic ability as Magia Azul. She uses her magic to condense the moisture in the air into swords made of ice. She can also use it to freeze enemies.

La Verità (真化 (ラ・ヴェリタ) ^?, lit. "True Form") is a transformation ability in which a magical girl's feelings overflow and advance to the next phase, transforming her into a new form. Sayo's La Verità form is named The Verglas Maiden^[4] (薄氷巫女 (ウスライノミコ) , Usurai no Miko^?, lit. "Shrine Maiden of Thin Ice"). While transforming, Sayo is tied up by ribbons emanating from her transformation heart, and she emits a bright light that destroys enemies around her. Secretly, however, she obtained this transformation from her strong desire to enjoy her "punishments" from Baiser without others noticing; the transformation makes her display an icy persona to all who see her, but internally she is free to enjoy herself all she wants.

Winged Robe: Pure Azure Sword Form (羽衣・白藍 (しらあい) 剣之型 (つるぎのかた) , Hagoromo Shiraai Tsurugi no Kata^?) is a robe that manifests when Sayo is in her La Verità form. The ribbons of the robe are capable of transforming into solid blades of ice, used to strike at enemies, but they also can be used to flexibly grapple and freeze her enemies.

Love Avalanche (愛のアヴァランチ, Ai no Avaranchi^?) an attack that reflect an enemies attack back at them. It was used to counter Enormeeta's "All-Out Attack!!"

Sayo is immune to Imitatio's Love Potion #13, as a consequence of her developing her La Verità form.^[5]

Trivia[]

Sayo's surname Minakami is written with the kanji for "water" (水) and "god, deity" (神).
Sayo's given name is written with the kanji for "small, little" (小) and "night, evening" (夜).
She helps out around her family shrine often and meditates under the waterfall behind it. ^[6]
"Azul" means "Blue" in multiple languages, including Spanish and Portuguese.
Despite being named "Azul", her costume's color theme is closer to teal than blue.

Blue

Teal

In official translations, her La Verità form is translated as "Maiden of Hoarfrost". Hoarfrost implies a white or silver coloration, while verglas implies a clear one, although both are thin coatings of ice from when water touches surfaces at subfreezing temperatures.
