PERSONALITY: Maki is very playful. She likes to crack jokes with her dry wit and dark humor the majority of the time, but she can get lighthearted with her jesters and jeers. However, getting on people's nerves is a skill that Maki would be proud to say she's good at. The idea of ticking people off and getting them riled up amuses the young woman. It gives her a sense of power knowing that she's able to get under people's skin and being the reason why they're pissed. She likes to push people over the edge if she could. She knows when she's going too far, but sometimes she likes to push it. It paints her as insensitive, but it's not too far from the truth.
Maki is very laid back, almost nonchalant. She keeps a very relaxed attitude as if she doesn't have a care in the world. It makes her more approachable due to how casual she is in behavior and speech. She uses her casualness as her a charming trait and make her appear charismatic. It also makes her a very friendly individual who just likes to get rowdy from time to time. She's very social and doesn't mind taking the lead in conversations. Professionalism isn't really much of a strong suit than it is an obvious flaw, but it doesn't affect her professionalism in a combative and tactical sense... much, anyway.
But being careful is usually a hit or miss for Maki. Her nonchalance doesn't affect her professionalism on the field compared to recklessness. She's someone that likes to take life by the horns and ride it in hopes she wouldn't fall off and die. It shaped her into the rough and bold person she is today; no filter and maybe having some regret in what she says. It feeds into her impulsiveness, although in recent years she's tried her best to be more cautious and not dive in headfirst into danger too much. To her, though, she'd argue that being reckless is her version of being careful. It fuels her lust for battle and conquering.
Maki has a lot of confidence in herself, even when she knows she could be wrong. Whether it'd be smarts, strength, whatever the case may be, she believes in herself no matter what. Surprisingly she isn't boastful about it since she's very well aware that there are many people better than her and what she can do, but there's nothing wrong with trying to give people a run for their money. It strokes her ego even more when she's either in the right or managed to beat someone.
Despite some of her less appealing traits, one thing that will always stick to her is her protectiveness for those she care about and her village. She's willing to fight and die for her people if it means keeping them alive and well. She is especially protective towards her sister, Amaya, despite their frequent clashes whether she likes it or not. Family will always be her first priority, even if her parents may not be in her favor.
Deep down in her tough exterior is a caring young woman who wants nothing but the best for everyone, or at least that aren't on her hitlist. She has no problem with being a shoulder to cry on and comforting people when they need it the most. In a sense she can be motherly, although she's more likely to give tough love than nurturing, but it isn't rare for her to switch it up a bit.
HISTORY: Maki is the result of two ANBU members who came from wealthy families finding love for each other and eventually retiring from their careers to start a family. Truth be told, Maki wasn't the child they wanted. Oh, she was a wild one that liked to go by her own rules and order. No matter how hard her parent tried to discipline her, nothing was working. They were patient with her, but their love for her grew less as she grew up and showed almost no improvement in proper behavior.
This was where their second child, Amaya, came into the picture 5 years later. Maki conspired that they brought her younger sister along as an attempt to shape her into the perfect child Maki was supposed to be; and so they did. Amaya was more elegant, behaved, and most importantly, slightly snobbish. It was as if Maki was out of the picture, but she didn't mind. She was still able to do whatever she wanted, so it didn't bother her.
But this made a dent in their relationship. With how opposite they are in personalities, it's expected that they'd often fight and argue. Maki, surprisingly enough, decided to become the big person and always tried to settle things down and admit when she's wrong to please her spoiled sister, even if it hurt deep down. Over the years, Maki managed to strengthen the bond between the sisters, but there was still some tension. At that point, Maki considered them as frenemies.
In her academy days, Maki was a top student who was careless. She made a name for herself as someone who was very proficient when it came to her studies; a surprising fact considering how reckless she could be when it came to her behavior. She made both friends and enemies with how outspoken and daring she was. She did eventually tone down her wild persona, but it didn't help that she was already on a few lists of people they wish would disappear.
There a lot of students that Maki remembers, but the one that stuck by her the most was a boy named Shibaru. He was practically a spitting image of Amaya in terms of behavior, except she could admit he was worse. He viewed Maki as a wild dog on the loose that didn't know how to act properly. Not that it bothered her too much, but she mostly found him annoying. She only hoped to never be assigned in a squad with him when she graduated.
And that's exactly what happened. Right when she became a Genin, she was placed in a squad with Shibaru and a good friend of hers, Airi. Shibaru and Maki would often argue to the point where they would physically tussle with each other, only for Maki to often come out as victor. Airi and her captain would often try to play peacemaker which helped calm the storm, but no doubt they would often side eye each other.
Despite their differences, their years as Genin went swimmingly before they entered the Chunin exams and all 3 passed with flying colors. The tension between Maki and Shibaru still stood tall and high, but they were able to mature and become more understanding of each other. Of course, Maki wasn't one to put aside grudges and still picked a fight with him here and there.
Maki and Shibaru both picked Taijutsu as their secondary specialization after Ninjutsu, so it was something for them to bond over. However, all it took was one mission that instantly broke the bond that Maki and Shibaru were gradually forming. All it took was a bodyguard mission and a sudden ambush to assassinate the target they protected. They were outnumbered when singled out and were separated as the ambush happened. Airi and their captain were able to fend for themselves, but Maki was all alone with Shibaru nowhere to be found. She experienced near death until Airi and Shibaru came to their rescue. Only when the ambush was over did Shibaru came from the shadows and claimed that they roughened him up while he looked untouched.
Of course that didn't sit well with her and since then Maki developed pure disdain towards Shibaru and wished nothing but the worst for him.
The day Maki finally became a Special Jounin and went out for her first mission was the same day she came back and received news that the Raikage was slain by the Kirin beast. It already drove her passion to protect her village as much as she could to newer heights. Maki knew she still had a long way to go in her skills, but she knew that what she has at the moment will do well until she becomes stronger.
