Homura Akemi is one of 5 main characters in Puella Magi Madoka Magica and makes an appearance in AST 2 as effectively the closest teammate of the players. After being told that she could save her best friend, Madoka Kaname, somehow in Kamihama City, she jumped at the chance, as she's watched her die in many previous timelines before to a powerful Witch known as Walpurgisnacht. In Kamihama City, she searches for help and finds it within some new friends - together, they'll assemble a group strong enough to finally take down Walpurgisnacht and end her journey once and for all.

Apprehensive and shy, Homura is still getting used to her powers as a Magical Girl and doesn't communicate all that much with those around her (who aren't the MCs). Her voice is light, as she's still an 8th grader at Mitakihara Middle School, and being a long way from home certainly isn't helping her confidence.
