I have a couple questions pertaining to this character - I scoured the FAQ and comments here and didn't see anything that answers my questions. If I missed anything, I'm genuinely sorry!
I'll start with the obvious one. In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, magical girls' souls are ripped out of their bodies and put into pieces of jewelry because it's fashionable or something. Most of the time, Homura's soul is encased in a gem in a ring on her finger, though it can take different forms depending on her will. Would her soul still be in her soul gem? If so, in canon, when soul gem is removed from her and taken away, Homura's body would essentially stop functioning. She would appear to be dead. Would this still hold?
Additionally, soul gems accumulate negative emotions, generally dubbed despair. Magical girls are more susceptible to despair, and the further into despair they fall, the darker their gem becomes. Using her magical abilities also causes a magical girl's soul gem to darken. The only thing that can cleanse soul gems is a grief seed, an item dropped by a witch in canon. It sucks out the negativity, restoring the gem. Without a grief seed to cleanse it, a soul gem can become corrupt, ultimately leading to a magical girl turning into a witch. Witches are beings made up of regrets and despair, they exist purely to create destruction and harm innocent civilians. To be blunt, would there be a way for Homura to cleanse her soul gem? Would URSULA provide grief seeds in some manner, or could she harvest them some other way? Or would her soul gem just magically be cleansed whenever necessary?
My final question! Homura's got a shield that also functions as a hammerspace. She doesn't have weapons, so she tends to steal and create her own. I assume her hammerspace would be emptied unless you want a fourteen year old to be walking around with stolen military grade weapons on her at all times, but I wanted to check before assuming. Would there also be a limit on her hammerspace, if she's allowed to keep it? As a note, Homura seems to have a straight up military arsenal times ten in her hammerspace, nor does size seem to factor into it; Homura fits a lot of large weapons in it. There does not appear to be any kind of limit on her hammerspace in canon, hence my question.
I'm really sorry for the wall of text ahaha, hopefully this isn't too much of a problem. Thank you so much in advance!
