Pretty accurate. It's left me with a lot to think about at least.
Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest!

Now, imagine how she would be feeling back during our first death.
The miracle that she had waited for, the one thing that she desperately hoped for, squandered. Wasted, because she didn't want to do what she was supposed to do. Gone, because she spent so long not making that one choice that it was made for her.
Ana was dead, because Rei, whether consciously or not, demanded that as Queen, her Subjects are to die in her name, so that she does not have to.
And as what was left of Ana faded away and the Sword of Gehaburn became complete, Rei would she the culmination of all that she had caused in that weapon.
All that she fought to 'protect', all that she had done for 'good', was nothing more that to feed the monster that she was. An nasty, hideous thing that could do nothing, would do nothing but destroy.
How fitting, that such an ugly weapon would be just right for an ugly being such as herself.
And as she grasps the hilt, her broken mind would finally understand.
She was supposed to protect, but she was nothing but a destructive monster. No matter how hard she fought to keep other people safe, they still suffered because of her actions. So what if she went the other way? If she killed them first, they wouldn't have to suffer. If she destroyed them first, they would never come unto harm again, thus they would be 'protected'. Yes, it all made sense to a monster like her.
She was created to protect them, but she could only destroy. Therefor, she must destroy them to protect them.
It was the nature of man to create monsters. Was it not the nature of monsters to destroy their creators?
And so Rei Mitsubishi, Goddess Gold, the last of the four Goddesses, fell. And when she fell, the rest of the world fell with her. For she was Queen of the world, and as Queen, she demanded all that she ruled to die in her name so that she would not have to.

If it makes you feel better I wanted to put together a scene where Floral Glory gets tagged by White Soul's Soul Rend. First her arm would start going black at a crazy rate, then Summit would cut off that arm, Floral says she "didn't want to die" while the pair of them try to get further away from White soul, then negative space kicks in and Floral's revered regen turns her into rotten ooze in Summit's arms with "No, I don't want to die..." as her last words. Probably include a bit where Quell doesn't work because of Scream For Me blocking the spell.
The final kicker would be that the questors can't do anything productive about it and Magical Girl Mageslayer shows up after a while to Exile White Soul and Co with her spell.
Do you feel like more of an ass than killing off a character just because they would have a cool death?

As always, everything that happened is Rei fault too, albeit fault it's not exactly the best term.
There is something that i already noted more than once that Goddess Gold forgot.
She is Goddess Gold.
Facts are, for all her proud and pompous facade, she pretty much gave up on doing something.
When i said waiting for a miracle, i meant it.
You can see with her EXP, that she literally hoarded waiting to use it.
Waiting to improve, waiting for White, waiting for something.
She didn't believe she could change the situation and simply gave up on doing so.
And no, this isn't something "unavoidable", as Amanda for example kept fighting impossible odds and going after VIP target well after losing everyone.
Everything Rei suffered through?
Amanda went through worse.
Family killed? Yep
Someone important went of the deep end? Yep
Hell, Gold doesn't even have the "My best friends and pillar of mental stability were killed, and two of those were actually stapled together like a piece of modern art, while being alive" thing under her bell, nor the "everyone i love and don't dies".
Red Rose was scarred, broken and everything in between regardless took an apprentice under her wing and decided to help a young magical girl knowing they would both die before her.
Did she magically healed from her problem? No, but she didn't roll over and waited for something to change but gritted her teeth kept fighting and fighting.
Let's ignore the "just after Hope" time where she could have stopped White.
If Gold decided to bring White back into the fold, with overwhelming firepower if necessary, she could have done it.
The Counter Force would have been more than happy to track down another Goddess desperately needed or Gaia would have leaped at the change to help her most successful children and at the same time crush Shiva plans.
Take back White, spank the everliving shit of her and Ni for everything and crush everyone in their way was possible even without Solid Core.
Easy? No, it could have easily failed.
But the EXP bank shows clearly how much she tried.
IIRC the worse starting point for the quest have all the goddesses dead, so this give you an idea of how things actually went without aside from doing nothing until someone killed her.(This is more for the other poster as, well, you know how the would go in the worse scenario for obvious reasons)
How i have no idea, considering Red is solidly in UD team.
Seriously, if she decided "Fuck it,let's go full White Kingdom and take back what's mine" she could have changed the war single handily without us.
She had ways, albeit it could have gone wrong.
I'm not saying she is in the wrong, the fact she is still fighting under such situations is big, and expecting one person to change the course of a war in such a way is simply unfair, because she is not anyone saviour.
Rei Mitsubishi is a goddamn person,not a shounen character and not Shirou.
But Gold, as many others, isn't simply a poor victim of the situation
Because yes, with great powers, everyone is your responsibility....but with great powers, you have great powers.
Or as Rei would put it
So don't feel too bad, she isn't Sakura or Sayaka/Madoka, she's more like Homura.
You understand her, but she is still a goddamn idiot sometimes.

Finally made this MG that's been bouncing around in my head. Parts of the sheet are redacted to maintain Mystery™.

Lol good luck with that. Not even Nepgear could get through for a couple turns unless Winter wants her to.

Magic doesn't play by your rules.
(Sadly they play by Crystalwatcher's rules)
So what happens if from inside it you use an Unstoppable laser blade that's longer than the dome is tall?

Yeah, the only person who can give permissions is Still Winter, even if I used more concise wording than I could have.
I'm... not entirely sure, but it probably wouldn't be pretty.

Clearly the lazer goes though with no problem but the person stays inside.
Actually, that's because she has nothing that would be useful to get with her current EXP. So that is not a fair criticism.
White disappeared period, and only recently showed up again. And I'm honestly unsure why you think the Counter Force didn't look for her. Gaia could have told her, but didn't.
Yeah, just so we're clear? If things hadn't gone the way they did, it would have ended in a deathmatch between Rei and San.

Given that the dome has Thick Armor | Adamantine, not Indestructible, I would think that the Unstoppable laser blade goes right through the dome, and then can be moved in a circle to carve a hole in the dome.

"that nothing may pass through"
I highly doubt Lost made a bullshit sounding thing as possible not be bullshit.
That's the fluffy flavor text section that says how something works, not any hard mechanics.
And even if it is an actual mechanical thing, that's when a battle of concepts comes into play. Just like how the conceptual weight of stuff lets a tiny portion of really large damage sneak past Nepgear's indestructibility.

Counterpoint: If you shine a laser through a lens the light goes through, but it doesn't cut a hole when you move it in a circle. Destroying the lens/dome requires incredible power on the part of the effect shooting through it.
...I think Celestial Severance would be up to the task if spammed. Still take a bit to cut the magic ice enough to make a hole.
That's for a laser of Light.
This is a laser of Purity and Divinity

I was not kidding about it taking at minimum two turns for Nepgear to bust through the thing. It's not fragile.

Well, I have to say, Still Winter looks rather good! Her theme is easily identifiable, she's clearly an experienced MG to have gotten such bullshit, and her basic spells and Abilities look rather serviceable. While the mysterious parts of her sheet prevent us from truly telling just how bullshit she is, I think I feel confident in pegging Still Winter in the Top 50. Very well done, Lost, very well done indeed.

So just to be clear it's supposed to be the tankiest thing we've ever seen right? Because a single Turn of Celestial Severances does 26,214,400 points of Unstoppable damage. Two turns puts it's durability in the 52,428,800 range. That is enough to take a direct hit from a Brahmastra Anti-World nuke and survive.
On the bright side Celestial Severance Level 20 will hit for 104,857,600 Damage per casting and so rip right through it.

I think I'm looking at this from a different perspective. When I read that I assume that the current Celestial Severance will destroy the ice where it hits, as a thin pane of irresistible magical force. This would leave a small cut (inches wide) in the ice and the rest of the dome would stay put, whether the swing hits for 10 million or 10 billion doesn't really change this. Busting out takes many differently aimed swings to punch a hole in the dome big enough to fly through.
