Majo Rika, alias Rika Makihatayama, operates the Maho-dou magic shop after centuries of magical history. Taken in as a newborn by elderly witch Majo Ririka, she grew under her guidance in the human world. Her childhood rivalry with Majo Ruka—born from the same enchanted rose in the Witch Queen’s garden—centered on their shared candidacy for queenship, evolving from youthful pranks to adult disputes over Maho-dou ownership before their eventual reconciliation.

Transformed into a witch frog when Doremi Harukaze accidentally revealed her identity, she begrudgingly mentored Doremi’s group of witch apprentices, her initial harshness masking a deeper resolve to reclaim her true form. Over time, her irritable exterior gave way to maternal instincts, softening her interactions with the girls as she guided them through magical trials. This duality persisted in her role with Hana, the future Witch Queen successor, where she provided both pragmatic childcare strategies and magical expertise, adapting Maho-dou into seasonal shops using herbology and enchantments.

Her past intertwined with figures like Majo Monroe, a witch she idolized in youth, and decades-old New York City connections revealed through archival witch photographs. As Rika Makihatayama, she discreetly influenced human society, securing support for her apprentices’ endeavors. Later light novels depicted her enduring mentorship as the girls matured, navigating adolescence alongside Maho-dou’s shifting purposes. Her dynamic with Ruka settled into camaraderie, their former clashes replaced by shared moments as equals.

Consistently portrayed with dark green oval hair buns, red eyes, and a green-and-purple ensemble, her witch frog form featured a green body, curled hair strand, and purple crystal necklace. Fairy companion Lala tempered her gruffness with levity, anchoring her emotional growth across trials and quiet triumphs.
