Her appearance used to be different in elementary school according to Tetty, with dyed blonde hair and shaved eyebrows.
Magical Girl[]
Mephis Pheles has long black hair with short fringe bangs. She has feathered black eyebrows. Her eyes are grey and she has red pupils with grey eyeshadow on her eyelids. In the middle of her forehead is a red cross. Her tongue is pierced.
Mephis wears a translucent long-sleeved layered black dress that reaches all the way to her ankles. Mephis' dress collar is studded and she wears a silver necklace fashioned in two circles around her neck. There are also spiked studs on the cuffs of her dress. Below her breasts, there are two textured black-blue bands. There is a cross at the bottom center of her dress.

According to Kana, Mephis wears white colored underwear underneath her magical girl outfit.
Personality[]
Despite her appearance as a human, which is that of someone who is literary and well-learned, Mephis has a huge temper and acts more like a delinquent. In elementary school, she would pick fights with everyone that she found to be annoying, including boys and even her seniors. Her temper is so bad that, at the beginning of the Magical Girl Class, the Millionaire card game had to be banned because she kept losing and threw a tantrum.
Mephis also has a foul mouth and swears often, as well as insults those around her, but those in Group Two do not take it personally. It is revealed that even though Mephis has a temper, she's somehow capable of turning that part of herself off for professional matters.
Magic[]
Her sweet words will corrupt your heart.
Mephis can convince and/or tempt her target to do her bidding, distract them, or make them believe whatever she is saying. In order for her magic to work, she has to whisper to her target. If her target is aware of Mephis' magic and has a strong will and great concentration, it is possible to resist her powers.
Mephis is able to use her magic to interrogate others.
Special Item(s)[]
- Sheep Mask: Mephis's sheep mask that seems to be too small for her. It has an upside-down red heart on its left eye and red fruits connected to the bottom of the mask as well as a tail with a spikey edge.
Relationships[]
Tetty Goodgripp[]
Mephis Pheles and Tetty Goodgripp are classmates in Black.
As humans, Fujino and Fuuko used to attend the same elementary school together and took the same selection test, which they passed together. While they were good friends before, they became estranged when Fujino transferred out of Fuko's class. After making a happy reunion at Umemizaki, their relationship turned sour after Fujino upset Fuko during a game of Millionaire.
In White, while bonding with Kana, Mephis grows to regret how badly her and Tetty’s relationship had been screwed up. After going with Tetty to the Courtyard, the two of them seemingly reconcile.
Classical Lillian[]
Mephis and Lillian are in the same class group, both of them are also members of the Caspar's Faction.
Kumi-Kumi[]
Mephis and Kumi-Kumi are in the same class group and are also members of the Caspar's Faction.
Thunder-General Adelheid[]
Mephis and Adelheid are in the same class group. Mephis actually holds a great deal of respect towards Adelheid, due to her being a veteran from Archfiend Cram School, but is too proud to admit it.
Kana[]
Mephis and Kana are in the same class group and are members of the Caspar's Faction. At first, Mephis was actually kind of excited at the prospect of a convict from Magical Girl Prison transferring to her school and wanted to fight her. Unfortunately, Kana turned out to be an extremely socially awkward girl, causing Mephis to quickly lose interest in her and just see her as annoying. However, their relationship made a huge turnaround when Kana expressed interest in Manga, causing Mephis to quickly open up to her and get her hooked.
Diko Narakunoin[]
During the first mock battle in Black, Mephis and Diko have a back and fourth. Mephis constantly chases Diko, attempting to use her magic on her. The rest of group 2 attempt to get Mephis to leave Diko alone, but to no avail. They two of them are also a part of the Caspar faction.
Later on in White, after having their minds transferred into homunculus clones, Mephis and Diko work together in order to defend the ruins from Pythie Frederica and Old Blue's forces once they begin to raid Umemizaki.
Calkoro[]
Halna Medhi Melen[]
Mephis first met Halna when she asked her to let Kana stay over at her house. Mephis initially refused and cursed at her, though her disrespectful attitude quickly disappeared following the revelation that she was the school principal. Halna then changed her request into an order and forced Mephis to let Kana stay over as punishment.
In White, Mephis shows great distain towards Halna. When the idea of taking signatures to Halna's office is brought up, Mephis adamantly refuses. Unbeknownst to Mephis, Halna used her and Tetty visiting The Courtyard as an opportunity to capture Mephis and transfer her mind into that of a homunculus clone. Due to how the homunculi were created, Mephis now listens to whatever Halna's orders are.
Miss Satou[]
Snow White[]
Mephis first learned of the Magical Girl Hunter during school lectures about her exploits. Upon actually meeting her after she transfered to Umemizaki, however, she was disappointed that Snow White ended up being completely different from what the stories suggested. As a result, Mephis does now consider her a threat to Group 2's secret mission. Despite this, however, the two quickly started to get along during classes due to their shared love for manga.
