Okay, so not an "obvious" realization (as a matter of fact, I cannot say this was intended), but as I examined the outfits and hairstyle choices in Wizard I came across something that if it was intentional would certainly add to this character's arc.

Kamen Rider: Mage/Mayu Inamori changes her hairstyle three times in the series, and I might be crazy here but I believe each new hair-do metaphorically represents a change in her character.

Forewarning: This is my first time adding images to a post, haha... If it doesn't work, I apologize.

Twin-tails: It's the signature hairstyle she sports both in flashbacks and prior to becoming a Rider. Right before the truth about her old life collapses...

Pony-tail: This is the hairstyle of Misa/Medusa. In flashbacks, we see this particular style used to differentiate between the twins, and this is worn in the first confrontation between Mage and Medusa - the same fight where she vows to avenge her sister. Could it be a way of honouring her?

Let Loose: Ramping up to the finale, Mayu wears this haircut when she begins to doubt the intentions of her master and ultimately comes into her own, leading up to the end of the series. Beyond that, she never wears anything else.

As I said, this could really be nothing, but there was certainly some effort put into the hair to create a distinction between the twins both in their debut and continued confrontations. If it is symbolism, I have to give props to the stylists. If not then... Maybe I really have lost my mind, haha.
