Makima

== Makima ==
=== Status ===
Deceased
Makima is the Chief Cabinet Secretary's Personal Devil Hunter who commands over Tokyo Special Division 4.
She is later revealed to be the Control Devil who embodies the fear of control or conquest.
== Appearance ==
Makima is a Devil resembling a human woman in her twenties of average build, and marginally above average height. She has long light red/pale auburn hair, normally kept in a loose braid with bangs reaching just past her eyebrows and two longer side bangs that frame her face. Her eyes are yellow with multiple red rings within them, making them the only visible sign of her inhuman nature.
Her usual Public Safety uniform consists of a white long-sleeved shirt, a black tie, black pants and brown shoes
== Personality ==
On the surface, Makima seems to be a kind, gentle, social and friendly woman who is usually seen wearing a smile on her face the entire time and acts relaxed and confident even during a crisis, speaking in a professional tone to her workers. As her natural appearance is nearly identical to that of a human, she avoids disclosing her Devil nature to most of her underlings and spends most of the time posing as a human contracted to a Devil rather than a Devil herself. However, this is only a façade that she uses to fulfil her ultimate goal. Makima's true face is of someone that is Machiavellian and calculating, who sees people around her as nothing more than "dogs" she can use as much as she likes and must obey her without any hesitation.
Makima has demonstrated herself to be extremely cunning, cold and manipulative as she controls Leo through the promises of a romantic and sexual relationship while also threatening him with outright extermination if he disobeys her. Ruthless and normally dispassionate, she will do whatever it takes to reach her goals, even at the cost of the people she should be protecting.
Makima also realizes that she is not a good person and deems herself as "necessary evil". She is not afraid of her plans derailing, since whether her plans fail or succeed, she will almost always achieve something she wants.
Makima is an extreme fan of Chainsaw Man. Fascinated by its ability to wipe out the embodied concept of a Devil through consuming them, her stated goal is to bring Chainsaw Man under her control in order to use its abilities to create an ideal world without fear, death, and “bad” movies. However, failure is also acceptable, as it would mean being eaten—an honour according to her.
Makima's true goal, however, was to be together forever with Pochita and lead a happy life with him. She always yearned for something like a family, being incapable of forming equal and meaningful relationships as the Control Devil.
== Relationships ==
=== Leo Hayakawa ===
Initially, Makima appeared to be extremely generous towards Leo, giving him a job as a Devil Hunter, letting him live with Power and Aki to create a familial bond with them, and allowing him to have some limited freedom. She would often grant Leo's wishes to help him achieve his goals and desires.
Originally, that was all an elaborate plan to give Leo happiness only to later plunge him into despair in order to break the contract Leo had made with Pochita and give Pochita control of his body again. Although Makima at times held some sort of affection or sentiment towards Leo, she had no interest in him as she didn't memorize his scent.
== Abilities ==
=== Physical Abilities ===
* Immense Strength: Makima possesses a great deal of physical strength allowing her to fight effectively in hand-to-hand combat without relying on any of her subordinates.
* Enhanced Smell: According to Leo, Makima primarily differentiates others through smell. In their first encounter, she was able to detect that Pochita still existed within Leo through his scent. However, she cannot differentiate between humans through sight, similar to how humans cannot differentiate between dogs by their faces.
=== Supernatural Abilities ===
* Control: As Makima embodies the fear of control or conquest/domination, her core ability reflects this nature. Besides her Machiavellian tendencies, Makima holds the power to directly control her inferiors, stating as follows: "I have the power to control those I consider to be of lesser rank than myself.". This "brainwashing" ability works on any being — from humans to animals, to Devils, to Fiends, to Hybrids, and she was not shown to have a limit to the number of subjects she can keep under control at once. It seems as though once placed under her control, a victim subsequently loses their memory of anything that happened immediately before they put under control, and of anything they did while being controlled.
** Makima can channel the power of her victims by summoning them through chains connected to her body. It has been shown that she can use the abilities of the Angel Devil, Future Devil, Snake Devil, Punishment Devil, Spider Devil, and Zombie Devil. Even deceased individuals can be controlled in this manner. Makima was able to form a squad of weapon Hybrids, three of which were former enemies who now behaved affectionately towards her. This suggests that Makima can control individuals outright as well as warp their personalities in subtle ways. Makima's control can be broken however.
** She borrows the hearing of rats, birds and other small animals she controls to hear conversations remotely, seemingly anywhere on the planet and possibly extending into Hell itself. This ability can be circumvented by communicating nonverbally such as writing on a piece of paper.
** She has been shown to control a large number of rats which allow her to travel around using them. These rats can then cluster together to form the shape of a human and thus allow for Makima to be transported to that location instantly. 
** She has demonstrated the ability to make others hear her voice by placing her hand on their head even if the person is dead. She uses this to command the Devils that the person is currently contracted with.
* Force Manipulation: Makima has been shown to offensively manipulate an invisible force in a variety of way similar to Darkness Devil. This force can be used to damage her weak targets internally by simply staring at them. Depending on the situation, she can use this power in other various way such as:
** She has shown to cause her target to be crushed by an invisible force from over long distances. In order to use this technique, Makima appears to require a higher place such as a shrine, the name of a target and a human sacrifice. Makima forms a symbol with her hands and instructs the sacrifice whose eyes closed by a white cloth to utter the name of the target. The sacrifice then dies and target subsequently is crushed, preceded by a brief sense of "wrongness". This attack completely destroys the target's body but causes no damage to adjacent people or objects, even the target's clothes. While she is using this ability, the sacrificial people around herself are blindfolded with a cloth. She used this ability once from Kyoto to kill the goons of Sawatari's gang.
** She has been shown to inflict damage by projecting an invisible force to targets she points at with her index finger which is strong enough to heavily damage Darkness Devil, she usually says "Bang!" while using this ability.
** She has been shown to remove the heads of her targets in the vicinity from a short-to-mid range by using a sword; similar to her ability to crush her targets remotely, the people around her close their eyes with a black cloth.
=== Other Abilities ===
* High Alcohol Tolerance: Makima has an exceedingly high tolerance for drinking alcohol; able to out-drink both Aki Hayakawa and Himeno without showing any signs of being debilitated by the vast quantities of liquor/ethanol.
* Hand-to-Hand Combat: Makima is very a proficient combatant, despite not usually being seen fighting
* High Intelligence: Makima has shown to be a highly intelligent individual. Even without using her Devil powers, she is very cunning and manipulative.
