Top Speed is a magical girl best known for being Ripple's mentor, though she's probably equally famous for driving Ripple up the wall with her laid-back attitude and overly-friendly demeanor. Her casual speech pattern and general vibe tend to annoy Ripple more often than not.
She actually stepped in as Ripple's mentor to protect her—Top Speed was a former student of Calamity Mary herself and knew firsthand how harsh Mary could be. Rather than let Ripple suffer the same mistreatment, Top Speed took on the role instead.
Her magical girl outfit is pretty distinctive: a witch's hat, a gauntlet, a lucky charm necklace, and a cape emblazoned with "No Gratuitous Opinions" on the back. Her magic centers around flight—she rides a broomstick called Rapid Swallow and can hit seriously high speeds. The design varies between versions though: in the novel she's got blonde hair and a striped cape, while in the anime she sports orange hair and a plain cape instead.
