Biography[]
Snow White is a second year junior high school girl. She's rather idealistic, being a fan of various magical girl shows and manga since she was a kid. Not to mention, her dream was to become a magical girl herself. She believes that magical girls should always strive to help those in need, and is one of the most proactive magical girls when it comes to helping people, from dealing with large scale situations to smaller scale ones.
Her ability is to hear the thoughts of those in need. Anyone who is in distress will be able to have their minds read by Snow White. However, her range is limited; she won't be able to hear anyone outside of it.
After the first arc, she begins hunting down rogue magical girls, earning her the moniker "The Magical Girl Hunter".
Appearance[]
As a human, Koyuki has short brown hair and brown eyes. She has fringed bangs that are cut right above her eyes and a black bow with white ruffles on the left side of her hair, right above her ear. During the events of Unmarked, Koyuki is depicted wearing a brown sailor-styled school uniform with long sleeves. The collar and cuffs of her shirt have black stripes, and there is a small pocket at the top of her uniform. She wears a white bow underneath her collar and her skirt is pleated. She also wears knee-high white socks and is fair skinned.
As a Magical Girl, her hair length remains the same, but the color becomes a very pale pink (described as "Platinum Blonde" in Unmarked and Restart). She wears a dark brown hairband with a dark brown ribbon, similar to her human version, and some bloomed cherry blossoms on the right side of her hairband. She has light tan eyes and is also fair skinned. The left side of her headband is adorned with a giant Un bloomed cherry blossom. A recurring gimmick of Snow White's character is that, as the series progresses, this cherry blossom slowly comes into bloom, having fully sprouted by the time of White.
Personality[]
Snow White is an idealistic Magical Girl. Being a fan of Magical Girl shows since she was a little girl, she has a very naive mindset when it comes to Magical Girls and how they should act. Her ideology as a Magical Girl is based solely around helping people. She believes Magical Girls exist only to help others, and as a result, was very reluctant when the Elimination Games were revealed to be a survival game. When other Magical Girls resorted to fighting each other, Snow White remained true to her belief of helping others, and in almost all cases, refused to try to get into conflict with other Magical Girls, preferring to focus on helping people in need instead.
After the events of the first Arc, Snow White is no longer the idealistic Magical Girl she used to be and has become jaded with what she has seen. She shows little to no remorse towards any Magical Girl who threatens the lives of people. Her activeness from before is maintained, yet it's now focused on hunting down these Rogue Magical Girls instead, eventually earning her the nickname Magical Girl Hunter.
Snow White remains efficient and hides her emotions very well, especially while fighting. While still looking for peaceful solutions to settle disputes, she will now not hesitate to fight if necessary. She also has no patience for the Magical Kingdom's bureaucracy and will often bend or outright break the rules if they interfere with her job.
