Personality[]
She is lively and anxious and always seems to have positive thinking. In a way, she also has a motherly love towards those close to her. She is a peace maker, and tries to stop Ripple from doing risky things. She was worried when Ripple was districting. When Top Speed was chosen to be a magical girl, she wasn't very sure about being one for the sake of her child.
Magic[]
Uses a broomstick to fly at high speeds.
She possesses a broomstick named Rapid Swallow as her unique Magical Item. It is decorated with motorcycle parts such as muffler and propulsion devices. The maximum seat capacity is two people, though it is shown that it's capable of carrying more weight than that.
The broomstick can travel at a high speed. At maximum speed, it is faster than a modern jet fighter, and can even create a sonic boom.
The broomstick and its equipment are able to withstand supersonic flight. When traveling at high speeds, the broomstick won't break, even if it collides with an obstacle. Additionally, it seems to also be resistant to damage, to an extent.
Special Item(s)[]
- Rapid Swallow: Top Speed's broomstick. It is stylized to resemble a motorcycle. It can withstand supersonic flight speeds.
Relationships[]
Ripple[]
Top Speed thinks of Ripple as her self-proclaimed partner, and both of them are often seen together since their districts are next to each other. She considers Ripple someone with whom she can talk about anything, and isn't bothered when the only responses she gets from her are "tchs" or silent nodding.
Snow White[]
La Pucelle[]
Calamity Mary[]
Calamity Mary was Top Speed's mentor. She wasn’t fond of Calamity Mary and took Ripple as her student (since Calamity Mary's was supposed to be her mentor) so she wouldn’t suffer what she did while she was under Calamity Mary's training. When Top Speed and Ripple fought against Calamity Mary on the highway Top Speed was neutral in Calamity Mary's death by Ripple.
Magicaloid 44[]
Shoichi Murota[]
Shoichi Murota and Top Speed would argue a lot when they were younger, with Shoichi worrying that Tsubame would be a bad influence on his sister, and Tsubame seeing him as always nagging. However, the two of them eventually got married, with both now finding each other cute.
Shoichi Murota's Sister[]
She and Top Speed were good friends as children and had a close bond.
Ruler[]
Swim Swim[]
In Come play with Top Speed, Top Speed would help Swim Swim by giving her ride over to where Ruler was. As Top Speed converses with Swim Swim, she is able to pick up on the fact that Swim Swim is in elementary school. Upon realizing this, she would begin to act a lot more open towards Swim Swim, saying that she should have friends, and admitting that she’s going to have a baby.
She would later be killed by Swim Swim.
