Got another one, and this one killed two birds with one stone for also providing an opponent for a character I had difficulty with. Now this one may seem very odd and out-of-place, but bear with me here, they have a lot more in common than you think. I had to do a lot of extensive research to confirm it's validity.



Both Mustache Girl and Oriko started off with good intentions (wanting to liberate Mafia Town from the Mafia and to prevent the strongest Witch from destroying the world), but quickly went off the deep end when they decided to take extreme measures to do so (becoming judge of the world to eliminate all "bad guys" and killing other magical girls in a desperate attempt to kill Madoka; the Witch's progenitor). They both have tragic backstories that tie into their main motivations and are essentially the driving forces who manipulate the plot from behind the scenes. They also fight with magic artifacts (Mustache Girl's Time Pieces and Oriko's vine-patterned spheres) and have a limited grasp on time manipulation (the aforementioned Time Pieces and Oriko's latent ability to see and predict the future). Furthermore, after their defeat, it's implied that both show regret for their actions.
