Description
Emily Fujiwara, known as Hazuki Fujiwara in the original Japanese version, is one of the central witch apprentices in the final season of the series. She is a childhood friend of Doremi Harukaze, having known her since kindergarten, and their deep bond forms a cornerstone of the group of magical girls. Physically, Emily is distinguished by her long, light brown hair usually tied in a ponytail with a prominent orange bow, and round glasses over her brown eyes, making her the only main character who wears eyewear. Her typical outfit includes a white blouse with a light orange vest and a matching orange pleated skirt.
Born into a wealthy family, Emily is raised in a formal and polite environment. Her parents, particularly her mother, are doting but strict, enrolling her in numerous extracurricular activities like violin and ballet, which creates a busy and somewhat scheduled life for her. This overprotective upbringing initially makes her quite shy, passive, and lacking in self-confidence. She is academically gifted and often the most intelligent among her friends, but her gentle and sensitive nature means she is easily frightened, especially by ghosts, and she has a strong desire to please others, sometimes at the expense of her own happiness. Despite her reserve and tendency to panic under stress, Emily possesses an inner core of stubbornness and can show unexpected assertiveness when she witnesses injustice or feels strongly about her principles.
Emily’s personal motivations and role in the story are closely tied to her friends and her own quiet ambitions. She dreams of becoming a famous violinist, a goal that reflects her artistic and disciplined nature. A significant part of her personal life involves her long-standing romantic feelings for a childhood friend, Masaru Yada, and she can become upset when she perceives a threat to their relationship. In the group dynamic, she often acts as the voice of reason, her thoughtful counsel helping to temper the impulsive nature of her best friend, Doremi. She shares a supportive and understanding bond with Onpu Segawa, as both are considered mature and feminine, and her friendship with Momoko Asuka, another initially timid character, grows from a rocky start into a close relationship built on shared sensibilities.
Throughout the series, Emily experiences significant personal growth. Initially, she struggles to express her own feelings and relies heavily on Doremi to come out of her shell. As the seasons progress, especially into the final season, she learns to be more assertive, overcome her fears, and gain a sense of independence. A key moment of her development is her reconciliation with Momoko after a period of friction, which helps both of them grow. She also takes on a responsible and maternal role while helping to care for Hana, the magical baby the group raises, often assisting with her studies and providing gentle discipline. Her character arc culminates in a symbolic act of independence when she decides to attend a prestigious secondary school separate from her friends, choosing to pursue her own path while maintaining their important bonds. In the light novel sequels, set during her high school years, Emily attends an elite academy, continues to work toward her dream of becoming a violinist, and is in a romantic relationship with Masaru, showing she has grown from a very shy child into a more confident and mature young woman.
As a witch apprentice, Emily represents the color orange and is accompanied by her gentle fairy partner, Rere, whose caring nature mirrors her own. Her transformation phrase is "Pretty Witch Hazuki tchi!" and her primary spell incantation is "Paipai Ponpoi Puwapuwa Puu!". While her first attempt at transformation was clumsy, with her glasses getting caught on her dress, she eventually becomes one of the most skilled and precise spellcasters among the initial group of apprentices. Her magical style is noted for its proficiency and elegance. In the final season, she helps in the effort to lift Majo Tourbillon's curse by recreating sentimental handmade gifts, showcasing her meticulous nature and emotional sensitivity. Ultimately, she chooses a normal human lifespan over becoming a full-fledged witch, prioritizing her friendships and earthly dreams.
