Information[]
Background[]
Makoto is an only child who lived with her parents until one fateful day when her parents died in a terrible plane crash, leading her to develop a fear of airplanes. She learns how to take care of herself and develop impressive cooking skills in the process.
Makoto grows to be a very tall girl for her age with impressive strength for her gender, leading most to assume she is a delinquent and avoid her.
One day, Makoto tries to confess her feelings to a boy she likes, but he rejects her; this is the first adaptation of her back story to reveal the appearance of the boy and a deliberate rejection rather than an ambiguous breakup. She later transfers schools, partly because of heartache, but also because she fells a greater purpose calling her elsewhere.
