Thinking about how mami is often defined both in universe and in fandom by her apparent maturity, and yet once she becomes a witch she's tiny, straight up the tiniest witch introduced so far... she was forced to grow up so fast because of her parents death and yet she's also the holy quintet member with the least emotional strength,,, how the narrative essentially meta-parentifies her, deciding the solution to her loneliness is a 'bebe' to look after, and yet once she succumbs to despair and becomes the rawest incarnation of her own grief, she's so small
idk something about how she stops growing the moment her parents die. She ceases to be a human and becomes a magical girl, spending every day in this perpetual cycle of killing witches, alone... oughhhg candeloro....
