Macarona

Macarona (マカロナ) is one of the main characters in The Gray Garden. She is a female angel and Rawberry Preserves' best friend.
== Physical Description ==
 Macarona has long light brown hair, dark red eyes, raceless white skin, and a pair of feathered wings. She wears a red and green sailor fuku, green knife-pleated skirt with multiple red cross prints and red stripe at the hem, large ribbon, red argyle stockings with a white cross on her lower calves, and black Mary Jane shoes with a tiny white cross on each side. She also favors a Breton Sailor’s Cap in place of her angelic halo and wields brass knuckles in battle.
== Personality ==
Macarona is a timid and insecure angel, often asking permission from others. She allegedly suffers from anxiety and seen fretting even in the tamest of moments. Macarona has several times admitted to being embarrassed of her dominant faintheartedness; because of this, she exhibits an impressive will to improve herself. Macarona also has a massively passionate side to her and constant eagerness to give others a hand. Though she is far from the bravest of angels, she has successfully come through for her friends on numerous occasions.
Beneath all her shyness and reluctance for the macabre and ghastly, however, Macarona can turn hostile to any who dare present a threat to those she cares about.
Her hobby is reading. The Gray Garden Bonus Room She also loves plushies and hates bugs. 
Her genderbend counterpart, named Macaroni, has been stated to have a somewhat "disagreeable" personality. 
== Background ==
During the Great War between angels and demons, an angel by the name of Rigatona fought alongside her god Etihw. Sometime throughout the war, Rigatona died. Etihw reincarnated the fallen soldiers of the Great War when it was over. As a result, Rigatona was reincarnated as Macarona.

=== The Gray Garden Cast ===
==== Rawberry Preserves ====
Rawberry is Macarona's best friend; they are considerably close. Macarona patently dislikes Rawberry's quirks and fondness for bugs and many bug-themed dishes. Rawberry near-constantly teases Macarona regarding a great number of things (mostly bug-related) and has frequently made Macarona cry. Rawberry also takes Macarona to places against her will, such as when going to explore a cave. Despite that, Macarona is very forgiving and does not take Rawberry's treatment of her to heart. She cares a lot for Rawberry. After Froze and Yosafire fall off a cliff, Macarona proceeds to take her anger out on Emalf. Rawberry celebrates Macarona's inner strength finally being shown. 
Macarona has been invited for lunch and dinner by Rawberry together with her sister Raspbel and participated in a sleepover with her - albeit very reluctantly - as shown in the bonus room video "Raspbel's Secret." During the sleepover, Rawberry teases Macarona by telling her she looks tasty and to let her have a nibble, which the latter refuses. However, this does not deter Rawberry, and she ends up "nibbling too much," seeking help from her sister who is simultaneously having her own feast. 
One bad end involves Rawberry attacking Macarona during her investigation on Rawberry's whereabouts during the Gray Village invasion. Rawberry is found insatiably eating flame bats that invaded her home and attacked her sister. Macarona screams in terror, resulting in her untimely demise.
Unlike their ancestors, Macarona and Rawberry are more intimate. 
==== Yosafire ====
Yosafire is a close friend of Macarona. Yosafire introduces her as someone really timid with her face being able to turn red quickly. She also mentions Macarona is a good grappler. Yosafire visibly dislikes it when Macarona cries and will do her best to comfort her friend in any way she can. She has been seen encouraging the angel to smile when situations turn for the worse.
==== Froze ====
Froze is a close friend of Macarona. Froze worries about Macarona due to the latter’s constant fretting. Froze has also been seen reminding Macarona she does not need to force herself into doing things that scare her.
When Froze is stabbed by Emalf, Macarona pales and cries at the sight. When Froze is subsequently pushed off the cliff they are on by the flame demon, for the first time in her life, Macarona snaps and retaliates with violent intentions, harshly beating Emalf and vehemently repeating her unwillingness to forgive him.
Once Macarona retains a much clearer state of mind, she is quite obviously thankful Froze sustained no alarming injuries from the encounter.
==== Dialo ====
Dialo is a good friend of Macarona; they are on good terms. However, Macarona seems to be insecure enough she feels the need to ask for Dialo's consent beforehand (e.g. when invited to eat apple pie at Dialo's house).
==== Chelan ====
Chelan is a good friend of Macarona; they are on good terms.
==== Etihw ====
Etihw is the god who created Macarona. Macarona is undoubtedly loyal and devoted to them. She worries about them during their disappearance and is very much grateful and relieved to have them save her during the final clash against Ivlis.
==== Kcalb ====
Macarona very much views Kcalb highly and is just as loyal to him as she is to Etihw, formally addressing him as "Mr. Kcalb."
==== Wodahs ====
Though not particularly close, Macarona holds Wodahs in high esteem. She is greatly concerned about him during his disappearance and recursively shrieking in both panic and terror when the girls find him and Grora severely injured in Blancblack Castle.
==== Alela Grora ====
Macarona holds respect for Grora and addresses her with "Ms. Grora" (Grora-san). Grora acknowledges Macarona’s strength and is aware of her constant anxiousness. She has been seen encouraging the young angel regarding her prowess.
==== Raspbel Preserves ====
Raspbel is Macarona's friend. Macarona is fond of Raspbel and thinks of her as a good cook. Raspbel highly encourages Macarona and is disapproving of Rawberry's teasing attitude towards the angel.
==== Greif & Lowrie ====
Greif and Lowrie are Macarona's teachers. 
==== Emalf ====
Emalf is an enemy of Macarona. Macarona harbors both resentment and fear towards Emalf for his ill deeds and violent attitude toward girls. After Emalf attacked Froze, Macarona finally unleashed her inner strength and thoroughly beat him up. After this incident, Emalf's shades fell off, revealing his eyes, which Macarona found to be surprisingly cute.
