I might be ascribing Homura more social accumen then she actually possesses, but it occurs to me that the Mami+Homura curbstomp might have some positive effects.
It'll prove to Mami that Sabrina is her inferior in several aspects of meguca life, and honestly appreciates her assistance in those areas, while reducing the fear from contradicting Sabrina when we react well to losing.
Puncturing Sabrina's ego a bit and unloading pellets at Sayaka are just bonuses from Homu's perspective.

Which is what she's supposed to not be doing. She's supposed to be learning to fight from outside chomping range.
If this is one of her goals, she's going to be very disappointed when we start gushing about how awesome they were as soon as the battle's done.

The new update was incredibly adorable. I especially liked the overlapping dual perspectives of both real and chibi Sabrina.
So, Mami's learned to tell our Grief apart from that of Witches? That's handy. I wonder if the other magical girls could also learn to recognize our Grief with enough exposure, or if only Mami can because of how much she focuses on Sabrina. And does this mean that Mami could also learn to tell different witches apart by how they feel? Not that there's much need to since multiple witches don't usually show up at once, but maybe it'll make a difference at some point.
(Or could it be that Mami is able to recognize the feel of Sabrina's Grief because of some sort of growing emotional and magical bond?)
Another thing we might want to try with Sayaka's training, since she's supposed to be learning to fight witches, would be to use our Grief to make simulated witches for her fight. Like have her fight a bunch of grief tentacles or something. That's probably more indicative of what she'll be encountering in Barriers than anything else that we might throw at her.

Yeah, okay, I'd be fine with showing off a Youmu outfit instead.
Maybe show off the katana we stole, too?
It's just that Youmu's outfit is much less iconic, and Youmu's colour in the games is green - not Sabrina's blue.
We already did the maid thing for Oriko and Kirika, so...

Than a mostly generic French maid? If anything I'd think Youmu is more recognizable as Youmu. Especially if we can do the glow ball.

[2HU PEDANTRY ALERT]
I'm honestly not sold on the Youmu thing. There's really only 2 2hu's we should consider cosplaying as:
Sakuya, who has a blue/white/grey colour scheme, European styling, and short white hair.
Or Hina, the goddess of misfortune and grief, whose power works by having her spin in place.
Anything else is kinda half-assing it.
Homura is Kaguya. No doubt. Traditional Japanese yamato nadshiko with long, flowing black hair and time control. Full stop.
Mami... probably Marisa. Blonde who keeps up with absurd OP bullshit powers just by being that damn good, loves explosions. The whole witch thing is just icing on the cake.
Sayaka's tricky. There aren't any straight up power copiers in 2hu, and the healer is more a mad scientist archetype. Youmu's the swordswoman in Touhou, but she's more of a shrinking violet in general - not really a good match for Sayaka's brash personality either.
Based on colours, then, the blue haired Touhous with blue hair and white accents are Cirno, the village idiot (not entirely unfitting, I suppose), and, more obscurely, Sariel. A fallen angel could tie into Sayaka's angelic theme in Rebellion as well as her fall into despair in the main series, I suppose.

That seems a bit on the nose.
It's amazing that Sabrina can be such a huge dork when she's only ever played two video games and watched one movie.

Well, if we just want to match hairstyles, with no consideration for thematics or colour co-ordination (you monster
), the best match is probably Sagume (Goddess of Probability).
Most of the 2hus with white hair have much longer hair then Sabrina does.

I'm changing my vote to what the dice say, and won't change the character we dress up as again without a compelling argument.
E: Momiji it is.

Vote V3: A Wolf Tengu Is Fine Too
[x] Uh. Hmm. I suppose I'd be okay with that if you are, Mami? Though if that round goes as quickly as I expect it will, maybe we can shuffle the teams for the next go around?
-[x] After all, you could really do with the dodge training almost as much as Sayaka, and the best people to get dodge training from are obviously Mami and Homura, right?
--[x] We'll decide whether to switch teams around once we see how things play out. What kind of ruleset will we be using, anyway? Mami, Homura, thoughts? Defer to the veterans' expertise.
---[x] If Homura brings up not wanting Sayaka to copy her power, and Mami objects, try and smooth it over. Use telepathy if necessary.
[x] Keep working on the Cannone di Picchio, with Homura's advice taken into account. Try out a scale model of a few loading mechanisms, both hand-held and from larger naval artillery. See which ones are easiest for you to handle.
-[x] Try integrating a loading mechanism into one of Mami's muskets, to see how your magics interact on a smaller scale. Note any issues or oddities and try to resolve them.
--[x] If all goes well, try it with Tiro Finale. Let Mami name the result.
---[x] If it's safe, have your chibi climb onto the cannon while you work on it. Invite Mami's chibi as well.
[x] When Sayaka arrives, greet her as if nothing unusual is going on. Refuse to acknowledge the existence of the chibis in the background.
-[x] Distract her by offering her the cupcake apology you made.
--[x] Dismiss the various experiments (including, sadly, the chibis) and set up the training.
[x] Try and make sure Sayaka doesn't repeat the same mistakes Mami identified yesterday: In particular, tunnel vision and not considering approaches before taking them. Don't judge Sayaka, though - you're not infallible either, and there's things for you to improve on as well.
-[x] Within the rules of the spar, take it as seriously as possible - you'll need to if you want to have the slightest chance of success against Mami and Homura, and this is a learning experience for you too.
[x] After the spar, unwind and be a bit silly. Show Sayaka that you discovered yesterday that puella magi can shift outfits when they want to - kinda like how she recreated her cape, but on a bigger scale.
-[x] Cosplay as Momiji from Touhou. Try using outfit magic to make fake wolf ears. Try not to lose your balance. Show off the katana you stole from the yakuza.
--[x] Telepathy Homura. You're practicing your Touhou cosplay, because reasons.

Nope. Dice say wolf. Too bad.
No, but seriously, I'm not changing it. If you desire otherwise, make your own vote.

Which of those is most closely associated with Yukari? The initial impetus for the Touhou cosplay was the Tokyo girl who dresses up as Yukari.
