Description
This is my reference sheet for "Jo Ayara." She is one of the new fan-characters that is going to appear in "Maho Shoujo Rika Magika," a Maho Shoujo Madoka Magika-based project of mine, and she is also one of the central characters too, though not as important as Rika Isoni is in it. I styled it in the same manner as similar reference sheets I've seen for this. This should give you a good idea on how Jo is supposed to look.
This was such a pain for me to draw, but it was worth it in the end. I love how cute she looks, and I really put a lot of detail into her. Well here's the description on her. Take time to read the description if you want to know about her more.

Jo Ayara is a 15-year old girl, and also one of the so-called, Maho Shoujos. Jo Ayara is also somewhat of a "Veteran" Maho Shoujo who is vastly different from most of the others. She made a contract with Kyubey long ago, and later on, she makes friends with Rika Isoni and decides to take her along with her on her spellbound adventures to slay the various Witches.

Jo is very optimistic, playful, and very interested in magic. As you can see, In her "powered up" form, she wears a light-gray Maid Outfit, and black shoes with sharp points on the end used for delivering kicks that impale. Although the Maid Outfit is mostly just because it looks extremely super cute and cuddly, I was also told that it is symbolic for her too. Since she acts much like a Zealot to Kyubey's cause, she can now in ways be considered like Kyubey's personal humble servant, and the Maid Outfit could symbolize that too.

Jo has a number of things that makes her very different from the other Shoujos. The first thing is that she is actually happy that she made a Contract. Most of the other Shoujos think of the Contract as a curse, but Jo finds it to be a gift instead. She does not care so much about the free wish that comes with the contract, but is happy for more than just that. She is happy about it because making the contract gave her amazing special powers, and now she cannot be killed by conventional means (only destroying her Soul Gem will kill her now). Plus she loves the thrill and adventure involved when she has to go into the various Witch Barriers and confront the various Evil Witches herself. It's so exciting to her and thrilling to be involved in that kind of thing. Finally, she thinks that Kyubey's motives to essentially preserve usable emotional energy is a just cause, and she wishes to help him with that. After all, someone's gotta do it, so she'll certainly do it. Not only that, but she also has a bunch of friends now, who are the other Maho Shoujo's, and she likes that.

Jo is very much aware of the fact that the Witches are former Maho Shoujos, but most of the time this does not deter her much. To Jo, slaying a Witch is essentially like slaying someone who had been bitten by a werewolf or zombie, and had turned into one. They've become hideous monstrous beings, and there's nothing you can do to save them now, you can only put them out of their misery before they terrorize others. Also, many of the Witches she fights, she most times assumes that they were previously a Maho Shoujo whom she never knew well or met, and its a lot easier for her because of that. However, if she were aware that a certain Witch was actually someone whom she knew rather well, it would actually be a lot harder on her emotionally, and she would most likely not want to do it if that were the case.

Jo is best friends with Rika Isoni, and she also is very good friends with Mami Tomoe. She also sort of likes Kyouko Sakura, but she hasn't known Kyouko as long. She likes Sayaka Miki, but she often times teases around with Sayaka, sometimes in ways that would annoy her, and the two are not total friends because of that. As for Madoka and Homura, she barely has even met Homura, and she hasn't even met Madoka at all.

Jo almost acts like a Zealot to Kyubey's cause. She believes that making a contract isn't totally bad, and to her, the good parts outweigh the bad parts. After all ,you even get a free wish, alongside these special powers and everything. She is aware that she might become a Witch herself, but that isn't too big of a problem for her. After all, all she has to do to avoid becoming a Witch is just "be happy" and not fall into despair, and this rather easy for her because she is very optimistic and playful and kind.
She is also a very respectful person and always lets others decide for themselves and never really tries to "force" them into doing something they don't want to do. After all, she is aware that not everyone has the same feelings about something, and she usually does take this into account with others. She does not reveal the full details of the contract to others though, as for she does not know if they can handle it and doesn't want them to fall into despair. So Jo does her best to not reveal that part, for to her, it's one of those things that her friends are better off not knowing, for their own good.
Jo also tries to persuade other girls into making a contract with Kyubey many times, although she doesn't pressure them into doing it, like Kyubey himself does. However, she has gotten quite a few girls to become Maho Shoujos too.
Unfortunately for Jo, her happy attitude won't last her forever, and soon she may pay dearly for that.

These two are more on her, and some of Jo's special abilities.

Hope you all like her. I plan to use Jo Ayara in some future artworks of mine too, including in the said fan-manga project that I am currently in progress of making, Maho Shoujo Rika Magika. If you want to use her in any of my artworks, please ask me first. Do not steal.
