### Personality

Mackenzie is athletic and tomboyish and very energetic, though she also has several feminine interests. She is not afraid to speak her mind and has a fierce temper, but deep down is shown to be actually very insecure and has issues trusting others. Nonetheless, she cares deeply for her friends and will try to protect them without second thought.

### Etymology

* Her Japanese name **Akizu** is an archaic Japanese word for "dragonfly," while her Japanese surname **Tamayama** means "jewel mountain."

## Magical Abilities

As a magical girl, Mackenzie possesses enhanced physical abilities such as speed, strength, agility, invulnerability to physical damage, and the ability to fly. Untransformed, her spells allow her to shrink herself down, wallcrawl, and do things like backflips and somersaults easily.

While she does not have combat power, Mackenzie is able to receive messages from and have direct conversations with the Shinju-sama, the Magic of Friendship, and the Light of Hope, has the Dimensional Scream ability, and can predict enemy attacks such as witches, Vertexes, and other villains. She is also able to remove blight inflicted on the Shinju-sama by the Vertexes.

While transformed, Mackenzie also has extreme super flying speed and flexibility, being able to do midair flips, sharp turns, and even fly backwards. She also has magic 360-degree vision that allows her to see in all directions and can also see sharply from *very* far distances.

## Magical Warrior

Mackenzie is the Warrior of Freedom and Agility. She is a Bug Elemental who represents the Element of Bravery. Her theme color is green, and she has no weapons.

## Pokémon

* Caterpie -> Metapod-> Butterfree (Freebie) - Her partner Pokémon.
* Yanma -> Yanmega (Maribel)

## Dream Pixies

* Odonata - A dragonfly-like Dream Pixie who is colored green. She is Mackenzie's only Dream Pixie.

## Trivia

* In the series finale, she is confirmed to work as a Pokémon biologist.
* Mackenzie's wings are *dangerously* sharp to anycreature who is not transformed... as shown when her wing accidentally brushes against Melody's face when she isn't transformed and gives her a giant cut across her face.
* Originally, her Japanese name was going to be Tonbo (the current Japanese word for dragonfly), but it was changed to Akizu (the archaic word) to make it more interesting. This is brought up at one point in the Japanese version where Pinkie Pie deliberately calls her Tonbo (or in the dub, Madonna) to piss her off, causing Mackenzie to get so furious that she decides to transform and attack her, but Dragonet calms her down at the last second.
