I'm probably alone in this, but..
Is Sabrina even a human being? Nevermind that she is determined to be 'good' to an occasionally nauseating degree. Does she have any opinions/reactions to Mami being so obviously all over her all the time? Does she like it? Not like it? Is she attracted to her? Not attracted? Is she unsure/confused?
Is there anyone or anything she dislikes other than Kyubey? Does she have any flaws other than "being too good"? Doesn't she have any vices? How about insecurities more realistic than "could I have been any more good somehow"? Does she have any trigger issues? No?
Could anything drive Sabrina into a catastrophic depression? Into murderous rage (with actual murder)?
This quest has a lot of strong points, dont get me wrong. Great fights, interesting premise and story, neat OC's and powers, overall good characterization of canon characters, etc. However I find the portrayal of Sabrina to be very two dimensional and 'Sue' so far. You can be a person one hundred percent committed to doing good while still feeling like a real person, with flaws and insecurities and mistakes with real consequences that make a character feel human. I'm thinking Harry Dresden, Bruce Wayne, the heroes in Worm, hell even someone like Son Goku occasionally had moments of overblown arrogance and terrifying murderrage.
Now given that Sabrina is possibly a consequence of Madoka's wish to fix everything then maybe she's not a person to begin with and is instead some kind of super-fixer magic golem or something. Still that seems like an unsatisfying explanation and probably not what was intended
I just want to see Sabrina show other more human/flawed sides to her rather than just relentlessly munchkining down the Paragon path towards the "good ending".
