**Yamigami Machiko** is the false deuteragonist of *Mahou Shoujo RPG.* She's a member of Team Quake and is the self-proclaimed "Queen of Monsters". When transformed, she's known as **Shadow**, with her class being the **Magical Girl Necromancer**.

## History

### **Before the Killing Game**

Machiko was born into the Yamigami family. Her parents owned a small bakery in which she lived on the second floor of. The bakery didn't earn too much money, but her parents were amazing bakers, and the three of them lived happy lives. From a young age, Machiko developed an interest in writing and had a very creative mind, writing about her own planet full of monsters. She would pretend to be the queen of monsters and acted like a whole different person, which made her very popular in elementary school. When it was time for middle school, Machiko's parents used up lots of their money to enter her into Peculiari Academy for The City, a school typically for the rich.

Machiko was excited about her new school, but soon found herself getting bullied for being quite poor compared to every other student. She made no friends in her first year and felt miserable, with the only thing she had being her monster planet. In order to forget about this reality, Machiko started pretending to be her monster queen persona in an attempt to make some friends. However, this backfired, and she just got bullied even worse.

During her second year, she was saved from bullies by Akikawa Chika. The two of them soon became close friends, with Chika coming over to Machiko's house often. Machiko was always there for her friend whenever she was hurt by her dad, and soon found herself developing romantic feelings for her. However, she let this slip in front of the bullies, which only made everything worse. Machiko still has her "Monster Queen" persona to let herself be free from reality, but as long as she has Chika, she feels like everything will be okay.

### **Mahou Shoujo RPG**

#### **Prologue**

Machiko was one of the 16 girls sucked into the game, Mahou Shoujo RPG. She became known as the Magical Girl Necromancer, Shadow. During introductions, Shadow displayed her monster queen personality, but soon seemed to recognize Quake, and was eager to join her team. Yoshiko then explained that the game was a killing game. This heavily scared Shadow.

#### **Chapter 1**

Team Quake soon stayed in the forest, with Shadow revealing her identity to Quake, and the two realized they were best friends in real life, and Quake comforted her best friend, who was still very scared. However, Tiger left the team after getting tired of Shadow's monster personality, leaving the latter discouraged. Shadow, Quake, and Crescent managed to fight off a monster, and soon were faced with Team Emerald, who wanted to form an alliance with them. However, this caused Crescent to leave the group, as she was rather skeptical. This discouraged Quake, who Shadow tried to comfort, eventually resulting in her confessing her romantic feelings. Quake's spirits were lifted, and the two shared a hug before Shadow left to tell the other two teams about a possible alliance between everyone.

#### **Death**

On her way to find the teams, Shadow ran into Miyako Tomoe, or the Magical Girl Sorcerer, Mystic. When asked what she was doing, Shadow explained and soon started to talk about her new friends, especially Quake. This angered Mystic, who had been alone and picked on for her entire life. Her anger got the best of her, and she lifted Shadow into the air with her psychic powers before slamming her into a building, damaging her neck. Shadow's HP was quickly dropping, and Mystic soon realized what she had done out of anger. Knowing she would die, Shadow forgave Mystic, and gave her a smile before writing a message to try and say that Mystic didn't kill her. Shadow's neck then gave out, and she died.

## Appearance

### **Civilian**

Machiko is described as being on the shorter side of the cast. She has fair skin and "wide, sparkling" eyes that are a dark purple. Her hair is black and rather short and wavy. When let down, it goes a little past her chin, but she usually ties it into two tiny low pigtails. She typically wears at least two hair clips that don't match to look more different, which is what she likes.

Her casual clothes consist of a black t-shirt with a white demon face on it over a purple-and-white striped long-sleeved shirt, a gray ruffled skirt, knee-high plum socks, and purple sneakers. She often wears mismatched socks and tries to look as "unordinary as possible".
