@EtchedSteel, @Slith10
Would my character be a something you'd be interested in as written, or should I come up with the background and wish myself?

I would say provide a backstory, even if your character doesn't remember it. You could be uncontracted and make the wish after she has the amnesia or before it, but you'll likely have to come up with something she would wish for.

It's thematically dissassociative. Black Soul Gems, aside from the existing problem of being difficult to read, don't fit the established schema of Grief being Black and Hope being Colorful (to the point that there's a ClariS song about it). The Soul has a color, and it rots to Black when it's overcome by it's own emotional inertia and can't outrun it's regrets anymore, so if your Soul would be Black by default, it implies some things about you that makes you unsuitable to be a Magical Girl for Kyubey's purposes.

Every Magical Girl with a black color scheme in canon has had their Soul Gem be an entirely different color, such as purple or orange or white. Not even Kazumi, the actual witch girl, had a black Soul Gem. Because a Black Soul Gem is literally just a Grief Seed.

Shiny onyx soul gem?

For Azami, I'm thinking maybe something like this...

 
Maybe, but it's also worth noting that Soul Gem colors tend to not only be colorful, but pastel and bright and almost childlike in their palettes. Which might be because Magical Girls are inherently undeveloped, immature, naive creatures by design. They are invariably children no matter how adult they act, and their maturation is why Witches exist. A Magical Girl is a Witch (in the mythological sense) separated from the subversive, subtle, and uniquely cynical magical power of the Mystic Feminine. The Maiden and not the Mother or Crone.

It feels almost...improper for Soul Gems to be any sort of multifaceted, dull, metallic, or 'complex' color. That seems to belong to whatever Homucifer is.
 
Any "black" soul gem would be defaulted to Amethyst. Just saying. For the purposes of the campaign, it doesn't really matter.

So it actually would be kinda appropriate for what I was thinking of using a black gem for. Neat.
 
Hanako can talk to people just fine, it's just that she doesn't want to.

Also, I've added a weapon to my character sheet:

Weapon: A pink, teddy bear printed parasol with a hidden sword.

My character can talk fine and can be quite convincing when she wants to be. She just usually doesn't.
 
Marianne's not a social butterfly, but as a normal person, she can hold her own in a conversation without messing up too much.
 
Yua is alright around girls but cant (or rather refuses to) talk to men if that counts. On the other hand Mitsuko has no problems with talking to people. So you can tell who does most of the social interaction in their partnership.
