Aww, thank you! I was going for sweetness - it just kind of fits the two of them.
Magical girls naming their attacks is semi-canon - in one of the audio dramas, Mami insists on developing and naming Kyoko's (she has a thing for Italian names, apparently.) Kyoko thinks it's unbearably silly. I figured it stood to reason that Mami's going to encourage named attacks for anyone she works with. ...I wonder if Madoka had a named finishing move in the first timeline?
The witch was derived from Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne's Maron - one of the US manga covers has her holding out a heart shape with wings, some of the art gives her wings, and she has this whole thing about amusement parks (her parents design them for a living.) Not really possible in canon, given that Maron's whole thing is that she's the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, who may well be a witch at this point, but it's just a cameo anyway.
