Makoto Midori

"" "Warning! The following Character Page contains spoilers for Northbound: The Chariot Girls."Makoto "Mako" Midori is one of the leading characters in Northbound: The Chariot Girls, and later, making an appearance in Abyssal Realm Of the Divines. Mako was formerly the sole heir to lead her father's dojo, one of the last remaining dojos that teaches a magically infused Old World technique, known as the Iaijutsu. While being a very capable mercenary within the Chariot Mercenary Guild, people tend to avoid her due to her monstrous strength. Being labeled as a freak and nicknamed as "The Beastly Butcher."

Being very careless about her future, Mako aims to seek a life of true freedom. Without the restraints of laws or rules that keep her bounded.

Her current ranking in the Guild is Dragoon.  Mako is a rehabilitated criminal who is later revealed to have killed her Father in a sparring match. Exiling herself from the dojo and being hunted by her Father's former students in an attempt of avenging him, Mako vows to never use her sword, Blood Drinker until she sets things right for him. During the Siege of the North, she breaks this vow, using Blood Drinker and her inherited Iaijutsu techniques to buy Beryl and Team Ruber time against the revived Sir Gwyn of the Silver Paladins.

Appearance
Mako is a large, muscular woman with green hair that's tied up into a shoulder length, green pony tail with bangs covering the right side of her face. She has greenish skin with a lighter colored underside. She has prominently sharp teeth with inverted eyes and yellow pupils that give off a faint, bioluminescent glow. Mako has a large shark tail with a slightly damaged tail fin. She dresses in a tight, dark colored top with a white, neck window collar and a very long dark greenish sash that covers the lower half of her torso. This sash doubles as a holster to hold her sword.

Mako's usually seen with a large kanabō, a spiked war club typically seen wielded by more brutish Onis. Its her preferred weapon, claiming she "picked it off an Oni" she had killed in the past. Her sword on the other hand, appears to be an ordinary katana, with bandage wraps covering the entirety of the handle. Its blade however, has never been seen out of its sheath by any of her peers.

Personality
Mako is very vulgar and crass, and has a tendency to be very easy to anger. She doesn't care much about thinking things over, preferring to charge into things headfirst above all else. Her simplistic mindset can give off the impression of her being simple minded or even very reckless, but in reality while both are true, Mako revels in fighting and will resort to it above all else. Her aggressive nature, foul mouth, and bloodlust for battle makes her one of the least approachable members of Team Ruber due to how monstrous she can come off as.

Mako is constantly searching for worthy opponents to fight, constantly seeking out her need to grow stronger. She likes to boast about how skilled she is in her craft, often doing this as a way to seek out competition.

While Mako heavily dislikes thinking, her instincts are sharp and will usually know when she's bitten off more than she could chew. Her bloodlust is kept in check by Felicity and the other members of Team Ruber, keeping her grounded and not allowing her to succumb to her beastly instincts.
