OMG. Who's this girl again? I think there's really too many of them, I'll have to keep everything and everyone from this game away from what I consider "canon". Or head canon. Even though I like Pink Assassin Girl's design and Yachiyo's hair ornaments. I handle it like Touhou now (expanding like our universe and without emotional attachment to the ever growing cast of new characters), or a crossover between PMMM and something else.

I believe she's Alina Gray's friend (I wouldn't know the full story since I can't play the game on my phone ;3;)
They need to reveal more witches/doppels than magical girls imo just to balance everything out.
And hey, some people develop attachments to the newer touhous

Mayu's doppel looks better on concept art...I wonder who is in charge of translating Inu Curry's designs into final product?

Isn't it Inu Curry themselves?

Hmmm. Maybe it is just easier to animate them the way they are in the game. But textures and colors are better on concept art. Oddly, I have this problem only with few doppels, majority of them is ok.

...I've just watched a bunch of Doppel transformations and I guess I found what are my favorites. The ones I imagine writing in case this concept gets into my fiction (it probably won't). The ones that grow out of the magical girl's body and stays connected, apparently controlling or dragging her wherever they go. These ones remind me of the Cordyceps fungus that infects insects and makes them zombies to spread their spores.

I like mushrooms but these fungi are disgusting! Poor insects!
Also, apparently the older magical girl is, the stronger is physical connection between her body and the doppel. Yachiyo is 19, Hinano is 18 and their doppels are completely inseparable from their bodies.

Parasites are usually disgusting but I'd call these fungi thoroughly creepy. At the moment I can't even name any creepier creature. They are absolutely top notch.
And I miss Homura's doppel. But as soon as I see it I'll break into loud complaining about it making no sense at all. I'm still curious. It could give us a hint about when the game takes place and how real it is.

I remember that guy from school! The unlucky, insignificant bureaucrat from Gogol's Overcoat. Strange choice for a witch but... it may happen. That one must be an unlucky witch.

Aren't all witches unlucky?
I think they are going to keep Homulilly in secret fora time being because, just as you said, she is the key to all mysteries here. I also wonder whether they are ever putting Nagisa into the game. You know, by the time the girls were fighting Patricia in the beginning of Magireco, Charlotte had been already dead, at least according to the tv series. But Magireco has its own rules and I doubt they would restrain from featuring such popular character in the game.

Ummmm... yes? But this one must be the one whose witch card will write "Nature: unlucky". So she must be extra unlucky.
As for Homulilly or Nagisa, including them would further hint that the game doesn't take place in a normal (anime-time, from Homura's perspective) timeline. Nagisa was indeed a witch very early and Homulilly's appearance would somewhat contradict Rebellion too as Homura should have been more prepared/suspicious/savvy when she met her own labyrinth. Let alone the concept of doppels is pretty much non-existent in the series. Not just something they forgot to mention but something that could have fundamentally changed the knowledge of the magical girl system.

My bet's on Ui having something to do with it based on her wish. Iroha wished to heal her illness, so Ui probably wished to do something about the witchification process.

Okay. If this is the case I'll fiercely deny Magia Record. A world's basic rules and mechanics are the very foundation of any story that takes place in that world. Madoka Magica could survive one major rewrite - but with the major change we call Rebellion. Okay, I managed to wrap my head around it, now it's part of the world I work with. So I don't even consider Homura's "rewriting" a major change. It's just an evolutionary step, an attempt to fix what went wrong after Madoka's wish. Whether it was really broken and needing a fix or not is open to debate. But I don't think this universe could bear another retrospective change to such a fundamental system - in such short time at that. If it was such a common idea, just try to imagine the numerous millennia of human history, count the civilizations of our past and estimate the number of magical girls who could aim to topple the Incubators' system. It won't go anywhere, the resulting world will be volatile and devoid of the sense of reality. Rebellion ruined the Madoka franchise for some - but it was just a little local incident compared to the global disaster of losing reality in the hundreds of possible fundamental changes. It would ruin everything.

Just for the record (I don't know if anyone reads it): Homura's doppel has been released!
