Gin Minowa

Gin Minowa(三ノ輪銀Minowa Gin)is one of the secondary protagonists in Puella Magi Madoka Magica x Yuki Yuna is a Hero.she and Karin first encountered Kyoko in the episode When Worlds Collide.

Background
Thanks to her aptitude and her family's high reputation in Taisha, Gin was chosen to be a Hero and was provided with necessary training, along with two of her classmates, to protect the world and Shinju from incoming Vertexes' attack.

Although not knowing each other well at first, she quickly started getting along with both Sumi and Sonoko, soon enough becoming best friends with the two of them and working hard to save the world together.

During the fourth battle with Vertexes, the girls fell into a trap in which they all got seriously injured. Gin, being the only one who was still able to fight, decided to protect her friends and repel the three attacking enemies by herself, which was successful but came at the cost of her life.

Due to her death, Taisha decided to modify the first Hero system in a way that could give the Heroes more power, implementing Mankai and fairies to help them and prevent them from ever dying.

Appearance
Gin was the youngest and the shortest out of the three friends, also being physically the strongest and the most sporty one. She had grey-colored eyes and matching hair, cut short with thin, longer 'tail' tied neatly on the back of her head. She wore a flower-shaped hairpin every day.

After transforming into a Hero, her outfit changed into a mostly orange-colored suit (red in the anime) with grey and white undertones. Her hair was also tied into a ponytail with a significantly larger orange (red in the anime) ribbon. The suit itself appeared to be designed in a way that restricts as little movements as possible, completed by an open-tail coat-like cloth which provides the chest area, back, forearms, and legs with additional protection.

Personality
Gin was a kind, energetic girl, with a lot of spirits and positive attitude. Her main interests consisted of sports and different kinds of competitions. During her free time, mostly before going to school, she looked after her younger brother. That, along with her helpful nature which made her give a hand to everyone needing it, often caused her to be late for her classes and meetings.

She secretly has an interest in breast size, and often compares them to mountains that she knows based on their sizes, especially when Uesato Hinata and both Togo Mimori's are around.

Abilities
As a Hero, Gin's specialty was launching into a head-on assault and protecting her friends from the enemies' attacks. She was both physically stronger and more resistant to damage than the other two. She used twin axes as her weapons which perfectly suited her direct way of fighting.
