When it comes to the best Madoka Magica characters, it is always safe to include the main protagonist of the anime series. Madoka Kaname is one of the kindest magical girls in the series. In fact, she would do everything she can in order to help others. She also cares a lot about her friends. In the series, she used to have low self-esteem, but after becoming a magical witch girl, she becomes more confident.

At first, you really won't like Kyoko Sakura, and that's completely understandable. But as you get to know her even more, you'll also see that she's one of the toughest magical girls. Although she is considered as a self-centered girl who apparently won't sacrifice herself in order to save others, she is also someone with good intentions. This was proven when she eventually becomes friends with Madoka and Sayaka.

Homura Akemi is known as a very intelligent magical girl in the mahou shoujo series. Although she seems to act as an antagonist for trying to stop Madoka to be a magical girl, this is due to her bad experiences as being a magical girl herself. Since she doesn't want Madoka to go through all the sufferings the same way she did, she does anything in her abilities in order to convince Madoka not to make a contract with Kyubey.
