Misao Makimachi
Nicknames:
Okashira (yeah, rite... ^^), Misao-chan (by Okon -
or was it Omasu?), Weasel Girl (by Saitou, Sanosuke,
etc).
Looks:
Fresh and cuddly. She's skinny, but as she's 16 will
fill up sooner than later. Cool hairstyle too, and
lovely light blue eyes. Dresses tomboyishly, but
(*SPOILER*) there's a scene in the Shimabara arc
which IMHO, shows that she's now willing to wear
more feminine clothes, at least once in a while
(thought she more looked like a sorta doll... -_-).
Brains:
More cunning than the average anime tomboy (it's not
that I dislike tomboys, in fact, I was one too).
Good at catching info and displays good plans when
in a pinch. However (specially in Kyoto arc) tends
to re-act, more than act.
Personality:
Bright, sunny, as it's needed in the moment she
appears: the beginning of the Kyoto arc. She's very
brave, also, willing to help her friends whenever
she can. Fiercely loyal to her beloved Aoshi-sama,
will believe in him every time and everywhere, thus
being one of Aoshi's saviors. In some ways, Misao
way reminds of Final Fantasy VII's Yuffie Kisaragi,
but not half the sly or selfish.
Cooking:
I've never seen her cook, though as Aoshi, she
possibly can. May slack a little in order and
cleaning, as the average teenager.
Fighting
skills:
Good. Certainly she can wipe the floor with punks
and average streetfighters, and is excellent at the
use of tokibunai (her sorta knives). However, her
impulsive nature can turn into foolhardiness once in
a while (ask Himura if you don't believe me ^^), and
her emotions can also interfere (see the scene when
Aoshi beated Okina...).
Special
abilities:
Nothing really superhuman or magic. Maybe her
tenacious loyalty to Aoshi, or being cheerful nearly
everywhere?
Competition:
Shinomori Aoshi. This is a crush that comes from her
childhood times and won't be easy to break. She
didn't give up on him even after his betrayal to the
Oniwabanshu, and cried a lot for him until he was
back home. Okina seems to realize this as well, when
he asks Kenshin to kill Aoshi if he can't save him.
If Aoshi finally lets himself show how much he loves
and cares for her, you're lost. Some fics also
insinuate relationships with guys like Sano or
Soujiro, but other than that, it's not revealed.
In-Laws:
Apart of Aoshi, there are the other Oniwabanshu
members. They'd never say or do something against
you if there's no reason for it.
Finances:
Not bad, as she's a part of the Aoiya. Help out a
little and you'll do okay.
Sex:
Shy at first, possibly, getting more aggressive as
time passes. Being a Ninja, she may be very flexible
too, and looks like the playful and curious type.
Overall:
Misao's not the type who will pin down very easily,
but when you pass muster the Oniwabanshu and her
crush on Aoshi, this girl will be your friend as
well as your wife. For the easygoing guys, the
Weasel girl will be more than a match made of
heaven.
