(Eyeglasses Homulilly Info)

The Doppel of closed circuits. Its form is the mortal world. The master of this emotion loops through time in an endless cycle of trial-and-error. Master and Doppel fuse together, her skin becomes glass, and her expression freezes into that of a doll. She launches volley after volley of attacks that only end when her target falls silent. In this way she is more like a Witch than other Magical Girls. Not only can she manipulate the sands of time, but she can pluck information of low importance from the alien lifeforms on her hat and create anything around the level of an earthly weapon by solidifying the sand.

(Side Story)

Homura and Madoka Kaname walk together in Kamihama City. Homura thinks she's taking a holiday with Madoka. Madoka notes Homura's spacing out, and wonders if she's alright. Homura says she's fine. Madoka says she likes doing something together with a friend, and is happy Homura feels the same way. Homura wishes this could continue forever, but notes Walpurgis Night is coming. After some time together, Homura and Madoka sense a witch. They find the barrier's entrance, but it suddenly disappears. It turns out it was destroyed by another magical girl who Madoka recognizes as a model. The magical girl introduces herself as Ria Ami, who is delighted to have a magical girl fan.

She then gets embarrassed when Madoka keeps staring at her. She invites the girls to tea.

Homura says it was fine with just the two of them, but is happy to see Madoka is happy. The three enter a cafe, where Ria discusses modeling. Homura thinks that Ria is beautiful as if she was artificial. Ria gets flustered before Madoka says Homura meant she was like a doll. Later they go to the fashion district where Madoka looks at clothes. Ria says that one piece of clothing suits Madoka, but Madoka says it suits Homura better. Madoka then notices a piece Ria modeled in and said she looked cool. Ria then takes Homura back to talk. She asks if Homura is interested in her at all, and points out that Homura has spent the whole time looking at Madoka. Homura says she didn't mean to.

Ria laughs and says as a model she's sensitive to people's line of sight. Ria says that even though meeting a supermodel is an unusual sight, Homura only paid attention to Madoka. Ria admits she's jealous and wishes someone could look at her with the same eyes Homura has. Homura says she will protect Madoka. Ria tells Homura that she's a cool magical girl. When Madoka returns to the others, Ria says she has to leave. Homura and Madoka thank Ria, who tells them to keep getting along. Homura asks Madoka if she wants to look around more, which Madoka agrees. Homura thinks that even if she doesn't know she's cool, she will still save Madoka.

At a later date, Homura goes to Kamihama to steal weapons from the local criminal elements. She targets a group called the "Soukaihou", who allied with the police. However, she thinks they aren't different from the other groups and should have illegal weapons. Using her time stop power, she steals the weapons and runs off. However, after she resets time, she's caught by a magical girl. She introduces herself as Meiyui Chun, which she said is a name that makes delinquents run away. Homura asks if she's part of a mob.

Meiyu says she's part of the Soukaihou, which has only respectable members. She then thanks Homura for stealing the weapons, saying they belonged to people who brought nothing but trouble to her group.

Meiyui asks Homura why she steals weapons. Homura answers that she lacks offensive magic. Meiyui says she wants to hear more about it so she invites Homura for mapo tofu. Homura finds the tofu spicy, but also tasty. Afterward, Meiyui tells Homura she has her support from one magical girl and hardworking child to another. Meiyui then asks Homura why she fights, causing Homura to flashback to her wish. She tells Meiyui there is someone she wants to protect. Meiyui says that she's the same and she contracted to save the people important to her. She thinks they must be alike, though she also thinks Homura has a heavier burden. She suggests Homura eat mapo tofu if it gets too painful, as it would blow the pain away. (There is apparently a Japanese pun between painful and spicy). Homura thanks Meiyui and the two depart. Homura thinks that perhaps she is not fighting alone.

Sometime later, Homura uses her timestop to practice shooting. However, she fails to hit all her targets. Homura wants to be as good as Mami Tomoe. Suddenly another girl appears. She introduces herself as Natsuki Utsuho and asks if Homura is practicing shooting. She claims she's a magical girl who cheers everyone, and explains she was just passing through and saw Homura. Natsuki offers to cheer Homura on as she practices. A confused Homura initially thinks she's being distracting, but then is surprised to find herself getting motivated.

Despite this new motivation, Homura is still missing her targets. Natsuki notes she's improved, and deduces that Homura can stop time. She calls Homura cool and gives her some advice on how to shoot. She explains Homura's issues are similar to the baseball team she usually cheers for. Thanks to Natsuki's advice, Homura improves significantly. Homura and Natsuki practice for a while. Afterward, Homura admits her practicing can't be done alone. Natsuki tells Homura to rest and offers to give her drinks. She then asks if Homura ever trains with her partners.

Homura explains that this is her own problem. Natsuki says that Homura's troubles are also the troubles of her supporters. Homura explains about Mami and how she uses guns as weapons. However, as Mami is a veteran, Homura feels there is a large gap between their abilities. She thinks if she asks for special training Mami might react poorly. Natsuki says if Mami is Homura's partner, then she wouldn't feel bad about Homura working hard. Homura admits she isn't. Natsuki then suggests she call Mami now and ask her to be her coach.

Homura calls Mami and is surprised to find that she'll come there right away. An hour later, Mami arrives and tells Homura she's always willing to help. Natsuki says Homura wasn't alone today and introduces herself. Mami introduces herself as well. When she learns of Homura's progress, Mami challenges Homura to a fight. By attaching ribbons to Homura, Mami is able to move around in Homura's time stop. As Homura fights, Mami gives her advice. After the battle Natsuki, who wasn't in when time stops, wonders if it is finished. Mami tells Homura she improved in a short time, and will gladly lend her own strength in the future.

Natsuki says Homura was praised by the coach. While Homura says she's still far from her goal, Mami says she's strong enough already. She asks Homura to return to Mitakihara with her. Homura agrees, and says goodbye to Natsuki. Homura then narrates that she has changed. She will become a magical girl that can protect Madoka. For that reason, she will keep moving forward.

(Abilities)

Her ability is time manipulation, this means she has some control over time by using her shield which is actually a sand timer, she can stop time and anyone she touches while the ability is under effect will not be stopped. Along with stopping time, Homura can also reverse time to before her meeting with Madoka.

Her shield is also able to store a countless amount of weapons, as demonstrated by the many pistols, light machine guns, shotguns, rocket launchers, and boxes of ammunition packed inside it. Note that her shield is relatively small and she is able to wear it around her wrist, much like a watch....although a lot of her powers are a mystery.
