Character Name: Sayaka Miki Character Series: Puella Magi Madoka☆Magica Character Age: 14 Background:Episode summaries at wikipedia.
Because the Madoka wiki doesn't really have this stuff written out, I've also provided my own summary up to the canon point I'll be using:
Not much is ever said about Sayaka's past, but we do know that she has been friends with both Madoka Kaname and prodigy violinist Kyousuke Kamijou since childhood. Kyousuke eventually fell very ill and supposedly would never play again, and as Sayaka had developed romantic feelings for him, she visited him in the hospital frequently.
On one seemingly ordinary day, a girl named Homura Akemi transferred into her class. After school, Madoka and Sayaka went to mall, where they ended up being telepathically contacted by a small, furry creature that was begging for their help. As fate would have it, Homura turned out to the be the one this creature--known as "Kyuubey"--was running from. As Sayaka confronted Homura about her actions, she was interrupted by another girl who chased Homura off and went on to introduce herself as Mami Tomoe, explaining that she and Homura were magical girls and that Kyuubey was a creature that forms contracts with girls, granting a wish of theirs in exchange for their service as a magical girl in the fight against monstrous "witches." While the two were immediately enamoured by the idea, Mami warned them that being a magical girl is dangerous and to be taken seriously, so they should put a lot of thought into it before they contract. To help them make an informed decision, Mami decided to take the two witch hunting with her.
The trio went out hunting together a few times, and everything seemed to be going great for them until one of the witches...ate Mami. It was certainly a wake-up call for Madoka and Sayaka; Mami may have warned them of the danger of the job, but it hadn't really sunk in for either of them. An angry Sayaka blamed Homura for not intervening in the fight early enough to save Mami, despite the fact that Mami had tied Homura up with one of her ribbons before unwittingly walking off to her death.
As the two grieved, Kyuubey continued to pressure them to contract with him. After all, with Mami gone, who was going to protect the area from witches? He eventually convinced Sayaka to contract, healing Kyousuke for her wish. Sayaka started patrolling for witches herself, bringing Madoka along for company, but she wasn't anywhere near as good at it as Mami. She was inexperienced, but eager to learn.
Not long after contracting, Sayaka was attacked by another magical girl while attempting to fight a witch's familiar. This girl, Kyouko Sakura, explained that she stopped her from killing it because familiars should be allowed to mature into adult witches so their Grief Seed could be harvested. Sayaka could not accept endangering the population by allowing that, so the two got into a heated battle before Homura came and broke it up.
Personality: At first glance, Sayaka Miki is a bubbly, energetic girl. She's almost always got a smile on her face, and she's eager to cheer up anyone that seems to be down. She's also extremely friendly--she tries to get to know everyone in her class and is on first name, no honorific basis with nearly everyone she talks to. She's a loud, boisterous person that loves to make silly jokes and tease people.
Sayaka is also very caring. She's constantly visiting her sickly friend Kyousuke in the hospital and goes out of her way to try and bring him things that will make him happy. She strongly believes that she needs to protect the people around here, and this is why she takes on a knightly magical girl(and later, witch) form. One of the first things she does as a magical girl is vow to protect the people of Mitakihara. When patrolling as a magical girl, she searches out both witches and familiars despite the fact that letting familiars become witches would be more convenient for her, because those familiars could hurt people just as easily as a witch. Even as an ordinary, powerless girl, Sayaka would throw herself into danger to protect others, as she jumped to defend Madoka the first time the two encountered Homura in her magical girl form.
Sayaka is extremely selfless, and has a very flawed, idealistic view of morality. She believes that no act is truly good if you get something out of it. This doesn't mean all of Sayaka's actions are completely selfless and without any benefit to her--it means that she hates herself for wanting personal gain from her actions. When Sayaka contracted, she used her wish to cure Kyousuke--something she doesn't immediately benefit from. However, it doesn't take long for someone to ask her--did she want to grant his wish, or to be the one to grant his wish? Did she grant it thinking she would get something from him in return? She says that she only wanted his wish to be granted, and in the end that is what she wants above all else, but she would still like him to reciprocate her feelings. She doesn't hold any ill will towards the girl that actually ends up dating Kyousuke...only herself, for being upset about him ending up with someone else. Her need to feel validated through completely selfless acts becomes her own undoing in the end, as she refuses to clean her Soul Gem, because doing so would be gaining something from fighting witches.
Being the naive, narrow-minded child that she is, Sayaka does not mesh well with people who hold beliefs that conflict with hers. She is very hostile towards Homura Akemi(who does not feel the need to protect everyone in this timeline, only Madoka) and Kyouko Sakura(who allows humans to die so familiars can grow into witches and she can get Grief Seeds from them), and her dislike for them makes her act irrationally, often making wild claims about them and blaming them for things that aren't actually their faults(like claiming Homura allowed Mami to die so she could have Charlotte's Grief Seed for herself when Homura couldn't have done anything even if she wanted to and Sayaka very well knew that). Even when Kyouko and Homura reached a hand out to her, she denied them, because she believes that she's just and they're not.
While her happiness is easily shattered as more and more of the unpleasant parts of being a magical girl become apparent to her, she still tries her best to soldier on. This is because Sayaka is incredibly stubborn. She's very set in her ways and very convinced that she's right about the world and how it should operate. She has a strong sense of justice and it takes a lot of traumatic experiences--most of which she hasn't gone through at this canon point--to make any of this waver.
Abilities: Sayaka is a Puella Magi/magical girl. This gives her magical power as well as increased strength, agility, and durability. Sayaka in particular has incredibly strong regenerative abilities and can make it so she does not feel pain while transformed, as the wish that was granted when she became a magical girl was used to heal someone else. In her magical girl form she is capable of summoning as many cutlasses as she pleases from thin air.
There is also her Soul Gem to consider. Exactly as it sounds, the thing literally contains her soul, which was ripped out of her body when she became a magical girl. While this means that harming her body technically cannot kill her, Soul Gems are incredibly easy to break and doing so would result in her death. Not only that, but if she does not keep her Soul Gem pure, she will turn into a monstrous "witch." Soul Gems are generally cleaned by the "Grief Seeds" dropped when a witch is defeated, and both using magic and being in despair dirties them.
