Maki Zen'in

maki is • Arrogant (in appearance) She has a tough and confident attitude, especially towards newcomers like Yuta. She speaks directly, doesn't mince words, and doesn't care about coming across as harsh. That arrogance stems from her determination to prove she's worth more than what her clan thinks of her.

• Competitive She's always trying to push her own limits and those of others. She likes to win, she likes to show off her strength, and she hates feeling inferior to other sorcerers. If Yuta progresses quickly, she notices it immediately.

• Proud and strong-willed She doesn't let anyone look down on her, especially not as a "Zen'in" rejected by her own family. Her pride drives her to train harder and challenge anyone.

• Dry for training She's disciplined, demanding, and takes combat seriously. Her initial approach to helping Yuta is rough, but practical. If she says someone is weak, it's not to humiliate them; it's her way of pushing them to improve.

• Direct and zero patience Maki doesn't have time for tears, long explanations, or insecurities. If something is wrong, she says so. If someone is bothering her, she confronts them. This lack of filter makes Yuta feel intimidated at first.

• But deep down… empathetic and trustworthy Behind his tough exterior lies a noble soul. He does care about people, he just doesn't show it with kind words. He begins to respect Yuta when he sees his effort, and he teaches him because he truly wants him to survive.
