Once upon a time, Koharu Izaki was a lonely lonely girl. Her life was a stream of bullying and harrassment from the boys at her exclusive school. The girls were sympathetic but ultimately useless in preventing it and as time went on, Koharu began to break.
But she was visited by a creature called Kyuubey. He saw her sorrow and said he would grant her a wish, if she would only help him defeat witches.
Her wish was to have never been bullied by the boys or have never caught their eye. Kyuubey easily granted it and she was given her soul seed and made a vow to protect this town against witches.
Her bruises were gone, but the memories still remained. Still, the boys at school no longer bothered her, nor the ones on the walk home. It was a dream come true...until she realized the girls didn't speak to her. The sympathy was gone, only cold hatred for the girl who was now immune to the boy's teasing--for it had always been a problem. The girls tormented her, ignored her in class, called her rude names behind her back, and ostracized her in every way.
A wish is easily turned against you, Koharu learned. For she had only asked for boys not to bully her. She couldn't ask for a new wish. What was done was done and she had learned her lesson.
Quietly, she moved schools, but kept fighting the witches, gathering grief seeds. It was all she could do. Her skill grew over time, as did her warmth towards the girls at her new school, but she never shook that lingering fear of males.
A girl by the name of Sora Himoto saw her one night and desperately wished to become a Puella Magi as well. Koharu, for all her knowledge and misgivings, was more than happy to think she might have this brave girl as a partner, but a fellow Puella Magi, Yuki Yagizawa, was adamantly against it. She desperately tried to keep Sora from ever coming in contact with Kyuubey, though she never told anyone why.
Personality Differences
Koharu is still motherly, kind and thoughtful, but more somber than her canon counterpart. She's been hurt and seen the cruel way words can be twisted against you as weapons. She is forever the optimist, believing in Sora's passionate cries that she can help--and later that she can change things. Yet, she has always planned for the worst, accepting that things may go badly, even if she hopes for the best.
She's still hesitant to speak to men and give them a chance to torment her, but she knows a little better about the girls. She does not distrust Kyuubey as much as she sees the failings in her wording and does not really blame him for the way her wish twisted things. She is optimistic about his motives, preferring to believe that he was only trying to save her from her suffering and she failed to provide him the wish that did that.
