Movie
Description
Onpu Segawa debuts as a famous child idol and rival witch apprentice under Majoruka. Initially headstrong and emotionally closed off, she repeatedly employs forbidden magic to manipulate memories and emotions, shielded from consequences by a protective amulet. Her early conduct reveals selfishness and a tendency to build emotional walls, often viewing relationships as transactional tools.
Her path changes through repeated encounters with Doremi Harukaze and the other witch apprentices. A critical turning point arrives when overuse of forbidden magic plunges her into a coma. The group sacrifices their magical powers to save her, sparking genuine remorse and a commitment to change. This catalyzes her integration into their circle, where she gradually develops kindness and selflessness under their influence.
Balancing a demanding idol career—spanning acting, singing, and modeling—with witchcraft duties presents an ongoing challenge. She grapples with feelings of isolation and inadequacy, frequently masking distress behind a composed facade. Perfectionism drives diligence in both professions, yet she faces existential doubts about her identity beyond fame.
Key relationships shape her growth: Doremi helps dismantle her emotional barriers; Hazuki shares a mutual understanding as fellow sensible personalities; Aiko bonds through shared maturity despite differing temperaments. She mentors Karen, a shy actress, initially using magic to boost her confidence before later securing her roles. Her caretaking of Hana-chan reveals a nurturing side, though work commitments limit her involvement and cause guilt. She exhibits patience with Momoko after initial friction, maintains ambivalence toward fanclub member Tōru, and avoids Alexander T. Oyajiide's obsessive attention.
Her magical abilities include transformation spells ("Pretty Witch Onpu-cchi!"), incantations ("Pururun Purun Famifami Faa!"), and specialized Magical Stage spells ("Pururun Purun, Suzuyaka ni!"). Her fairy companion is Roro, and her crystal ball manifests as a purple droplet.
Her backstory reveals her idol motivation stemmed from defending her mother, a former child idol criticized in adulthood. Early curiosity and parental love contrast her later calculated persona. Post-redemption, she discards the amulet, renouncing forbidden magic. Later seasons explore her efforts to reconcile her public persona with authentic selfhood, including episodes examining career doubts and her ambition's origins.
In the 2020 anniversary film *Looking for Magical Doremi*, she appears in a cameo alongside other witch apprentices during the climax. One protagonist, Ryuichi Omiya, is noted as an Onpu enthusiast.
Distinctive traits include multilingualism (English and Mandarin), rollerblading, marathon running, and preferences for crepes, waffles, and fat-free candies. Her name "Onpu" translates to "music note," reflected in her head shape and side ponytail hairstyle. She is the only main character without pupils in her eyes.
