## Personality

Machi is quite honestly a sweetheart. An irritatingly dense, honestly kind of stupid, room temperature IQ sweetheart.

Since his experience with The Crash, he's toned down his flirtatious ways for something with more sustainability- something that's less of the mindless flirting he used to do, now shifted into more naturally sweet compliments (though he’ll revert back to ye olde harassment he's used to occasionally. when he's lost in the moment). He's still every bit of a drama queen though. And selfish. Kind of. It's mostly just for show, Machi will still go well out of his way to help someone in need, but all the while singing his own praises, yknow? And he's still near-impossible to tick off or fluster. The guy will just. not. break- unless you use his own spells against him of course (in the case of flustering, that is. When it comes to arguments, he’ll either bicker with an amused smirk or just go dead silent until his defenses are chipped away at) Own spells meaning flirting. There’s a fifty-fifty chance he’ll just find it immensely adorable, or be completely reduced to a fine tomato sauce.

One thing that changed big-time for Machi, however, is his clinginess. Before the whole patheticexcuseofafieldtrip ordeal, he was a bit sticky sure but was perfectly fine being alone for an extended period of time. Heck, he'd want it at times. Now though, he clings to someone- anyone- like a sock with static cling, hating to be alone for longer than necessary. It's paranoia, in a sense. Fear that something may- will- go wrong. Of course, because Machi has the big stupid, he’ll deny this newfound paranoia to the grave, making up any little excuse that’ll pass to cover his stickiness.

## Written Appearance

Machi is 5'10 with a rather 'squishy' countenance- more so noticeable in his facial and midriff areas. He takes after his mother mostly, inheriting her light brown eyes and darker brown hair, but skipping her more sharper features for his own unique soft ones.

He has multiple ear piercings ranging from the classic lobe to two forward helix piercings on each ear. As much as he "mutilates his body" (as his parents like to call it), Machi can't bring himself to get piercings anywhere else. He thinks nose and tongue piercings *look* cool, but thought of it makes him squeamish.

## Backstory

Macchiato was born on August 5th. As it so happened, he was born with major health issues and complications, resulting in quite a few ER visits, hospital stays, and being closely monitored in general well into his childhood until he reached the age of seven- when his health finally evened out.

At the age of eight, Machi had met his childhood friend, Zane, at one of the many high-class, "rich people cult meetings" his parents would drag him to. Zane made those gatherings so much more bearable for Machi, as the two began to become near-inseparable as their families grew closer.

Almost two years into the families' friendship, a problem arose in Zane's family by the way of bankruptcy, due to an unclear mass-destruction of their properties. Machi's parents loaned the Zakino family a large sum of money to help them get back on their feet, with a mutual understanding that the amount would be returned in due time. As the Ellora's would soon find out, the whole bankruptcy claim was a lie, nothing more than a ploy that Zavier and Haruka Zakino had forged in order to gain money from the ''friends'' who in reality, were never seen as anything more than a money making opportunity.

The Zakino family had then fled to Australia, to escape the wrath and impending lawsuits from Machi's parents. Machi managed to stay in contact with Zane through a number which sole purpose was to keep the two in touch- said number was given to Machi by way of a slip of paper enclosed in a locket from Zane, before he moved.

From there, it was explained that Zane had no knowledge of his '' parent's '' scheme, and had genuinely believed his family was bankrupt. The two remained as close as ever despite the distance between them, though they had to keep the fact that they were conversing a secret from Machi's parents. Eventually though, they found out when Machi had left his phone out unlocked, which resulted in them ordering him to delete and block Zane's number, and making him change phone numbers altogether.

Machi could only do so much in his attempts to fight it, what with how notoriously strict his parents have been in the past; Yvette and Asa Ellora would repeatedly tell Machi how much of a ''bad influence'' Zane was, and of how much scorn he'd bring onto them by continuing to associate with him.

The guilt from that incident would follow Machi well into his older years, and would even take the form as self-loathing, given that if he didn't make such a stupid mistake, he'd still be in contact with his best friend.

Since losing touch with his bf (best friend). Machi never really formed any close bonds with anyone, A: because they never really felt ''right'', or he felt as if he were cheating, in a sense, and B: because his parent's constant prodding about anyone he spoke to got just a tiny bit irritating; they'd turned full helicopter parent since they found out Machi had gone behind their back.

Life continued in a rather fast blur for Machi, until he reached fifteen- which is when he first came out as pansexual. Yvette and Asa didn't take it very easily- or calmly for that matter. Aside the given "You're just confused" "You're too young to know that kind of thing", they even began to pick open old scabs by saying how "[they] thought Machi was a little *too* close with that Zakino boy. He probably influenced something." The comments made Machi (figuratively) sick, though he eventually found himself turning a deaf ear to them.

At the age of seventeen, while enrolled in Sageview High, Machi departed on what should have been just a regular field trip- but was instead on a road that ended in trauma, angst, and a newfound phobia of planes, but also with a few new friends.
