Summary
Kano Sazanami is a high school student who has become very aggressive towards others due to her family situation. She is prone to getting into fights and prefers to be alone, making others believe of her as a delinquent. While fighting, she is very reckless, charging in headfirst without any form of plan. Despite showing little to no care, she actually does care for others and wants to protect her city. She considers Top Speed her only friend, but is too proud to admit it. When she becomes a real magical girl by playing Magical Girl Raising Project as Ripple, she is mentored by and partnered with Top Speed, and later with Snow White.
After the events following her "entry exam", she regularly hangs out with Snow White, emotionally supporting each other. She's later convinced after much trouble by Snow White's new mentor, Pythie Frederica, to train her in combat, martial arts, and in developing and using her magic more effectively. Upon discovering Frederica's affiliation with Cranberry, she and Snow White arrest her. Months later, she decides to join the Magical Kingdom, in order to see Snow White again and attempt to help combat the corruption running rampant. She was supposed to be interviewed by 7753, but was instead pulled in as reinforcements in B-City to back up Mana, Hana Gekokujou, 7753, and Archfiend Pam with the mission to apprehend a serious criminal.

- Unmarked: Above Average. Ripple is a naturally wary of others and decent at judging them. She's very adaptable in a fight, able to face off against Calamity Mary and Rionetta.
- Post-Unmarked: Gifted. Following her months-long training with Snow White, her instincts got far sharper, and her experience increased, to the point of fighting on equal terms with opponents similar to Cranberry. She's cautious of her surroundings at all times, even when resting, and can intercept nearly any attack (including the unpredictable nature of Pythie Frederica's magic), and adapt much faster to evolving situations. She's gotten calmer and wiser, and contributed extensively during the B-City investigation in Limited. She captured Kuru-Kuru Hime with no effort, and had Rain Pow on the defensive during their entire fight.
- She fought Swim Swim twice and survived both times. She also beat and killed her the second time. During the 2nd fight, she had a missing & bleeding arm, a gouged eye, and was fighting at night with barely any lights on against an intangible enemy, and she still won.
- Her instincts allowed her to counter the unpredictable nature of Pythie Frederica's magic
- She single-handedly eliminated tens of Shufflins
- She defeated Micchan the Dictionary, a very powerful bounty hunter hand-picked by Pfle
Weaknesses: None of the regular human weaknesses. If she becomes unconscious, she turns back into a human and loses all the magical girl advantages.
- Unmarked: Hot-headed and tends to be easily taunted
- Post-Unmarked: Has a missing arm and eye, though they don't affect her skill and performance
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Perfect Accuracy: Ripple’s magic is to always hit a target with any item she throws and manipulate its trajectory. Her magic can be applied to anything thrown, not just her weapons, including rocks, shards of glass, doors or any object, and the object will automatically be strengthened to her tier. When a target has been selected, the item she throws will immediately home in on the target, keeping its kinetic energy constant, moving at a speed that even magical girls find difficult to intercept and is strong enough to deal fatal damage to a magical girl. Once the item is thrown, the target can't be changed. For a target to be chosen, it has to be within Ripple's field of vision and she has to directly know where she is throwing/aiming, meaning her magic won’t work if the target is obscured enough that she cannot make out what it is. Ripple can target a specific or vague part of the target as she wishes, but she cannot estimate a target.
Weapon Summoning: The number of shuriken and kunai that she has is unlimited; there is no running out of ammo, and these items can be used by others. The weapons are all magical.
