## Bio

### Appearance

Makoto has dark purple eyes and short hair with curled strands, worn with a lilac clip. She wears a white work shirt with a black tie and a long lavender vest, paired with khaki shorts, black socks, and white boots. At times she dons red glasses and a white painter cap. During summer, Makoto wears a white and lavender top, lilac leggings, and a denim skirt. Her accessories include a pale brown vest, pearl bracelet, and a spade necklace.

When performing, Makoto dons a strapless vibrant pink and purple dress with the skirt longer in the back with lavender accents and black ruffles. On the chest is a white bow. She also wears black thigh boots with hearts designs, a black choker with a heart charm, black gloves, a black ribbon around the top of the left arm, and a heart-shaped hair clip. She mainly uses her Lovely Income.

As **Cure Sword**, her eyes lighten and her now curlier, lilac hair grows longer, worn in a ponytail with a portion left loose, held by a white winged piece with purple band. She also wears a purple spade hair clip to match her earrings, and a lilac pointed choker. Her lilac dress has white and pale lilac detail and flower-shaped skirt. Her white winged sleeves cover the shoulder, one much larger than the other. On the right hip is a long purple ribbon with heart-shaped tails, and on the chest is a purple gem heart with a spade-shaped ribbon. She also wears lilac thigh boots with white and purple accents, and lilac sleeves with white detail and an indigo bow on the wrist.(though in episode 7’s flashback, she’s seen wearing a purple and white cape with a spade-shaped clasp in addition to her normal Cure outfit).

### Personality

A stubborn girl with a strong sense of justice who is willing to defend others by sacrificing her own safety during battle. She dislikes violence and fighting and as such, preferred to stand alone to keep others out of harms way. Deep down she holds regret at not being able to defend the Trump Kingdom from the Jikochuu, and wishes to find Princess Marie Ange soon and return to save Trump Kingdom. Her true personality is often masked by how she acts and only Dabyi knows what she is really thinking.

Despite her rational and calm mind, she is shown to be completely clueless to how things work on Earth but she attempts to figure them out with dedication. She is also shown to be slightly flustered when shown kindness, and often does not like to admit her true feelings.
