"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 the Midori Dojo Clan, one of the last remaining dojo clans 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. 

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 wears a loose kimono with large sleeves that has an ocean wave design covering most of the outfit. Underneath she appears to wear wrappings that cover the lower area of her body. She carries a warped katana in the shape of a lightning bolt, that appears to be forged out of petrified Vigorite.

It also is noted that mako has multiple scars throughout her torso, which is concealed by her kimono.

Personality
Mako is very vulgar and crass, reveling in the simple short term pleasures in life such as alcohol, food and fighting. Her simpleminded nature can be effective albeit very short sighted to an adversary who is more experienced and calculating. She heavily dislikes diplomacy and will often always resort to fighting or killing if it means a problem can be solved much easier through that method. Appearing to be stupid and foolish to some, her intuition guides her life and often is the thing that saves her from dying an unexpected death during her time wandering the Frontier. She's often kept in check by Felicity and other members of Team Ruber to not tear everything apart in her path in her wake and succumbing to her more beastly instincts.

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.

Thunder Cleaver
A specially assigned sword given to all members in the Miyako Dojo Clan. A tool that helps channel their long lineage of unstable magical energy into a catalyst that helps accel their inherit raw power into their sword techniques. Making the Miyako Clan into the deadly force that it was once known as back in its prime. The Thunder Cleaver is a specially made sword crafted for Mako and her inborn talent to utilize her lightning adjacent magic and handle the overwhelming amount of magical stress she can channel into mundane objects.

Unstable Magical Discharges
Mako was born with overflowing magical energy, energy she is unable to properly wield and fully control. Because of this, Mako does not understand her own strength, sometimes overcharging and amplifying the most mundane objects and causing them to explode due to the high influx of magical energy she accidentally inputs into things just by merely holding them. This is mostly prevalent when she is angry or stressed, though Mako tends to be cautious in handling objects and people because of this.

Enhancement and Reinforcing Magic
Knowing basic magical skills, Mako is able to utilize Enhancement and Reinforcement magic to an unquantifiable degree. Mako is able to amplify her body tenfold to withstand more damage, or amplifying her strength. If Mako is careful enough, she is able to reinforce any objects or weapons she's holding, making them practically unbreakable. Mako's results are not consistent however, due to her inherit instability in her magic.

Sharpened Instincts
While being more animalistic in nature, Mako's instincts are much sharper than even her marksmen peers in Team Ruber. Her senses allow her to read the tide of the situation, and allowing her to act accordingly. She mainly uses her instincts to size up opponents she's facing, whether she's able to handle fighting them or being aware that they might be much stronger than her.
