Alexandra Kurusu, also known as Sasha, is a magical girl from Yugoku City who appears in the "Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story" mobile game. A gentle and musically talented girl with a Russian heritage, she joined Neo-Magus to keep an eye on the progression of their battles. Born from a painful wish to erase her forbidden love for her teacher, Alexandra is characterized by her supportive nature and her unique ability to sap motivation from enemies using her harp.

Her journey includes embracing truths about herself, her motives, and her place among magical girls.

Despite her serene demeanor, she possesses strong determination and tends to act decisively when required.
