Madoka Amahane



Madoka Amahane (天羽まどか) is a character in the Aikatsu on Parade! series and was one of the main characters in the third and fourth season of the Aikatsu! series. She is a student at Starlight School. Madoka is a cute-type idol whose preferred brand is Angely Sugar.

Appearance
Madoka has mid-length, wavy, bubblegum-pink hair tied into twin pigtails. Each tie has half an angel's wing on its respective side. Her eyes are cerulean-blue, and she's been stated to be very cute.

Personality
She's a sweet yet unexpectedly firm girl who has shown to be a tease around her friends. Madoka actually has a lack of self-confidence in how she performs, such as the debut live for her and Akari's duo unit, or when she tried to ask her grandmother for a premium rare dress. A notable trait of hers is that she is very honest, which is often noted by her friends.

Background
Madoka's interest in idols had sparked after seeing one of her grandmother's dresses. The only thought that crossed Madoka's mind was how she wanted to wear one when she grew up.

Madoka's dream of becoming an idol was all but natural to her, and her grandmother, Asuka, kindly encouraged her. After spending more time with her in her workplace at Angely Sugar, she saw a new side of her grandmother. It was a side that only strived for perfection in the dresses, as Asuka was very strict on perfection. After seeing that effort, Madoka stopped speaking about her desire to wear the dresses and focused on her goal of becoming an idol until she was worthy to wear them.
