Maki

Maki is the leader of Team Maki. Known for his ability with the blade, he has been knighted by Queen Elizant II as her Royal Blade. He is usually sent out by the Queen herself on top secret missions, which often worries his sister, Kina. He serves as the primary ally to Team Snakemouth.
During the prologue, Maki acts as the tutorial boss as he tests the mettle of Vi and Kabbu. His only attack is a predictable overhead slash, and the battle concludes by itself before either party can deplete the other's HP.
== Appearance ==
Like all mantises, Maki is tall and slender, while featuring pupils, a trait not common with other bugs. His torso, arms and legs are brown, and his eyes and wings, the latter which he uses as a cape, are red. He wears silver armor in a samurai-like fashion, and wields a teal sword.
== Personality ==
Maki is very stoic and disciplined. Due to this nature, he is often seen by his peers as harsh and cold, which is somewhat true. Despite this, he respects those with spirit and resolve. He has a habit of testing newcomers in the Association to see if their resolve is solid, and will grant permits to those who can prove themselves to him.
