Imma go to bed soon so I'll just write about Homura

Prior to meeting Madoka in timeline #1, Homura was a lonely person who had been hospitalized without any real Contact with other people. Upon meeting Madoka (and Mami), Homura also met her first friends. After seeing her best friend killed by Walpurgisnacht, she naturally accepts Kyubey's offer and becomes a Mahou Shoujo in exchange for being able to repeat her first encounter with Madoka. She underestimated the time and effort needed to change destiny however, and it would take many tries until the "current" timeline. Naturally, one would believe that Homura would just give up but she refuses to give up on her only friend. You could of course argue that this is unrealistic from a self-preservation standpoint, but I feel that it's this is what makes Homura such an admirable character.

Also, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is an awesome horror anime. Kreekakon wrote some really intelligent posts regarding it, you should read them after you're done.
