Theoretically If Mami Were Born A Year Earlier And/or Had Her 16th Birthday Before Madoka's 15th She'd Still Be Older But Not By Much - Tumblr Posts

The fact that Mami is only 15 screws me up a little. She's barely older than Madoka and the rest of the girls and yet she forces herself into the "mature responsible caretaker" role. I get that magical girls don't live long, but I expected the 16-18 age range for her.

if Mami didn't cut herself off from the world she probably would've ended up in Madoka's class
Madoka is 14 turning 15 in a few months during the main series timeframe
theoretically if Mami were born a year earlier and/or had her 16th birthday before Madoka's 15th she'd still be older but not by much
she puts so much on her shoulders
I think “Mami Tomoe” did die during the accident despite the wish
she's isolated herself and forced herself to become mature
even if she's still technically alive “Mami Tomoe” is a completely different person untill the holy quintet comes along and reteaches her-
-how to be a teenager; laughing and having fun with friends
even then Mami still forces herself into the roles of “leader” “caretaker” and in rebellion “mother”
she's a lonely kid who's lost everything and didn't die when she was supposed to; which only causes more heartache in the end
instead of dying in a tragic accident to be mourned by family she dies in a witch's labyrinth and is forgotten by the world
the concept of outliving your own story is one that never fails to get under my skin
people tend to overlook Mami's tragedy in favour of the more bombastic ones (Madoka Homura Sayaka) but I think her's is pretty compelling
