Actually, in my opinion, Madoka's more of an ideal than a character herself. She's more of like an example of what can happen to a Magical Girl if she thinks this way (much like the other three// excluding Homuhomu). It's definitely because of how plot-driven the writing is and in all honesty, even if she and most of the characters in Madoka Magica are more of representations than actual characters, it doesn't hurt the series one bit. I don't see that many people making anime that's a solidly constructed as Madoka is.
