Makoto Niijima is a highly disciplined and intelligent young woman known for her serious demeanor and strong sense of duty. Calm, composed, and precise in the way she carries herself, she projects maturity beyond her age. Her posture is always straight, her speech polite and clear, and her focus rarely wavers. Though she appears strict and collected, there is a gentle warmth beneath the surface — one she reveals slowly and only to those she trusts. She is academically gifted and deeply committed to structure and self-improvement. Makoto studies diligently, often reading reference books or researching topics of interest simply for personal mastery. Her interests lean toward logic, law, and order, but she also has unexpected passions: she trains in martial arts, enjoys riding motorcycles, and secretly appreciates quiet café outings and desserts. These softer hobbies hint at a side of her that longs for normal teenage experiences and moments of freedom. Makoto’s upbringing, shaped by her late father and her prosecutor sister, instilled a powerful drive to seek justice and meet expectations. This pressure made her reserved, cautious, and sometimes overly hard on herself. She struggles with emotional expression and can be unsure in social situations, especially when feelings or vulnerability are involved. However, she is loyal, thoughtful, and sincere — someone who supports others quietly but fiercely, once she decides they matter to her. At her core, Makoto is a character defined by growth. She learns to balance strength with openness, intellect with empathy, and responsibility with self-identity. She is dependable, strategic, and strong, yet still discovering who she is when she’s not trying to be perfect.
