Summary
Ao Kasane (笠音 アオ) is one of the main characters of the second arc of the 2017 mobile game Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story: Magia Record.

After Yuna Kureha witnessed her senpai turning into a witch, she decided to spread the truth about the relation between magical girls and witches to the magical girls of Futatsugi, making whole magical girls in the city go upset. The scarcity of witches in the city (caused by Magius's work in Kamihama) has led to conflicts over "food source", grief seeds.

There are three magical girls' factions in Futatsugi City: Torayacho (led by Yuna Kureha), Ryugasaki (led by Juri Oba) and Hebinomiya (led by Ao Kasane). The first two factions are in a state of cold war, while Hebinomiya is an assassine faction whose members already belong to other factions like Torayacho or Ryugasaki, hiding their true goal. Hebinomiya's goal is to take down both Torayacho and Ryugasaki when the war happens between them.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:


 * Magical Girl Physiology: The physiology of a magical girl, who have formed a contract with a messenger of magic, and in exchange gained the power of magic. Magical girls are charged with the task of combating witches, beings born from negative emotions and who spread despair and sadness to the world. Unlike witches, magical girls bring hope to the world by destroying witches. When a girl accepts to make a contract with a messenger of magic, her soul is materialized and become a soul gem, the source of a magical girl's power. If a soul gem is destroyed or is at least 100 meters away from a magical girl's body, she dies. However, in the second case, the magical girl can come back to life if the soul gem is brought near her again. Every time a magical girl uses her magical powers, her soul gem becomes "tainted". The only way to rid the soul gem of its "taint" is to use a grief seed, achievable by defeating a witch.
 * Memoria: Memoriae are the crystallized memories of magical girls. They are equipable items, each providing different bonus stats and abilities to a magical girl. There are two different kinds of Memoriae: Active Memoriae and Passive Memoriae. Each magical girl can use different kinds of Memoriae, but she can only use up to 4 Memoriae at a time.
 * Crimson Resolution: Allows Ao to increase the damage inflicted by her blast discs and charge discs.
 * Overlapping Strategies: Allows Ao to decrease enemy's attack and their damage on attacks.
