Magical Girls (魔法少女, ^?), an anime and manga sub-genre, in the Nasuverse are generally treated as parody characters appearing in side materials and comedic stories of Tsukihime and Fate. Following the general format of teenage girls who use some manner of magical item or ability to transform into a heroic alter-ego, normally dressed in a bright, frilly, and often impractical uniform, various TYPE-MOON characters are given alter egos differing from their normal counterparts.

Character material first featured several designs without any plot involvement. While their actual existence is limited to fiction within the stories, Fate/hollow ataraxia introduced the Kaleidostick, which is able to "download" and transfer knowledge from an alternate version of its user into its current wielder. It generally only gives the form of a Magical Girl. The Kaleidostick is also used to transform other characters in comedic games like Fate/tiger colosseum. The manga series Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA is based entirely around the concept, and even features a crossover with another Magical Girl series, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha .
