Kyubey says that it is the fate of all magical girls to become witches. As far
as I can recall, this - or death - is indeed how _all_ magical girls reach
their untimely demise throughout the series.

Excluding the events of Rebellion, are there any girls who make a contract
(canon or EU, like the mangas) and go on to live until adulthood or beyond?

Do any magical girls survive beyond adolescence?


It probably depends on when you believe a girl is considered an adult or a
woman. If we take puberty as that point, since some describe it as the path to
adulthood, then [this Yahoo Answers Best
Answer](https://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090616142510AAEcYKd)
can give us the approximate age at which a girl has entered adulthood and
become a woman.

Let us also consider that the Incubators choose girls because of their varying
emotional states that are needed to produce the energy they need for the
universe. (Kyubey explains to Madoka in Episode 9 that his kind can't make the
energy themselves because they don't feel emotions.) The best time to do this
is when a girl enters puberty, as this is when hormones are released into the
body with one of the results being the heightened emotional state.

So with this in mind let's say the age range for a "girl" is [between
8](http://www.babycenter.com/0_precocious-early-puberty-in-girls_68661.bc) and
20.

With this, the closest I can find is one person, [Tsubaki
Mikoto](http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Tsubaki_Mikoto) from [Puella Magi Suzune
Magica](http://wiki.puella-magi.net/Puella_Magi_Suzune_Magica) as the Wiki
lists her age as "Around 20"

The Wiki also says under "Known Relatives"

> Suzune Amano, her adopted daughter; she was also the surrogate mother for
> the Hinata twins.

If we take the adoption we know Tsubaki is at least 20 or 25 years old
depending on the type of adoption Suzune falls under as explained
[here](https://adopt.com/japan):

> **Age Requirements:** In special adoptions, prospective adoptive parents
> must be over 25 years of age. In regular adoptions, prospective adoptive
> parents must be at least 20 years of age.

Also with the surrogacy we can probably assume that Tsubaki only raised the
twins as [Matsuri Hinata's page says](http://wiki.puella-
magi.net/Matsuri_Hinata)

> Tsubaki Mikoto, her deceased surrogate mother; her father and her deceased
> mother.

So depending on Tsubaki Mikoto's actual age and when our definition for when a
girl reaches womanhood, Tsubaki is probably the only Magical Girl (from whom I
can find an age) to become an adult.

NOTE: As pointed out on the wiki page:
