History

Here's a link to her wiki page, until I have the time to write out a more detailed summary myself.

Personality

From her wiki page:

Maki appears to have a very serious personality, as she doesn't really seem to smile much if at all. The only notable exception is the poster which shows her with a mysterious smile, having a finger over her lips, which is a sign of secrecy.

Despite her cute appearance, Maki is described as a hostile misanthrope of few words. She is very aware that she comes across as unfriendly and prefers to be alone. In general, she dislikes people and thus she is not very cooperative and can be stubborn. She talks very little, so when she does, she states things clearly and she appears to be very confident about her arguments. She is cynical and negative with a sharp tongue and sometimes talks in a cold sarcastic manner. While not the type to assertively act on her own, she is stated to have guts and willing to take action when it suits her. She has no problem blaming Kaede Akamatsu coldly and rudely multiple times.

Despite her distant and unfriendly personality, Maki is good at taking care of others. She is very popular among children, even though she dislikes them. According to Kaede, Maki is actually capable of deep love, something that children might be able to see, explaining their attachment to her. She also shows a more caring side when she accepts gifts and is invited by Kaede to spend time together.

Maki doesn't want to alert people around her about her true talent as the Ultimate Assassin, to the point that she always stayed in her Research Lab after the room became accessible in Chapter 2. She does this for the sake of preventing unnecessary shock and panic in the group. She also appears to have trouble trusting others and making friends. At first, the only people she trusted were Kaito Momota and Shuichi Saihara, and she begins to open up and develop with their support.

As the Ultimate Assassin, Maki becomes much more violent, intimidating, and unafraid to threaten others, demonstrating her confidence in her abilities. She carries a knife around with her (as seen in her sprites), and is shown attempting to strangle Kokichi Oma a few times. At times, she seems downright ruthless and cold.

Despite her extreme personality, Maki actually holds deep insecurities due to her past as an assassin. As part of her training, Maki was forced to undergo torture, and stated that she "vomited every day" and "cried every night." According to Maki, she did at one point feel anger and pain for being forced to kill others, until she reached the point where she felt "empty", telling Shuichi that she no longer considers herself human. As a result, Maki's experiences caused her to feel hate for herself, believing she was not worthy of having friends and therefore deciding to distance herself from the other students. However, after befriending Kaito and Shuichi, Maki decides to try and change her perspective, eventually learning to accept herself like Kaito encouraged her to.

Preferences

☆ Shipping: m/f, generally other teenagers around her age unless there's some sort of AU situation involved. Particularly interested in shipping her with a Kaito.

☆ Characters I'd like to play against: I'd love to expand more on her friendship with Shuichi & Kaito, as well as have her interact with the rest of the cast & other Dangans. Also open to cross-canon as well!

☆ Situations I'd be interested in playing: For Maki in particular, I'm interested in an post-game things as well as non-despair AUs. In general, I'm always a fan of hurt/comfort memes, soulmates & other AUs, texting memes (including tfln), as well as gen memes.

☆ Smut: Generally, prefer assumed CR. No nonconsensual situations.

Permissions

☆ Backtagging: Yes, more than welcome! I have a pretty busy schedule myself, so I can tend to take a while - so I'd never penalize anyone else for doing the same.

☆ Threadhopping: I'd generally prefer to avoid this, but depending on the case, could be allowable? Please let me know first.

☆ Fourthwalling: Please don't, unless for some reason that was the point of the thread and/or it was discussed beforehand.
