**Assassin** (アサシン, *Asashin*) is the servant of ??? in the ??? Holy Grail War.

"*I'll say this just once! Because I won't be holding back!*" - Makoto Nanaya

## Profile

### Identity

Assassin's true identity is **Makoto Nanaya**, Part of the Beastkin race (a squirrel, to be specific) and one of Noel Vermillion’s friends since their Military Academy days, other being Tsubaki Yayoi, Mai Natsume and even Noel's unknown biological older brother Jin Kisaragi. Nowadays she works at the NOL's intelligence unit under Hazama; however, she's also a double agent for Sector Seven. A friendly and energetic person at heart, she does a lot of things to support her dearest friends.

At some point, Makoto is amongst of those who always have a problematic situational history on handling Kagura Mutsuki's behavior from his alcoholic and perverted lech attitudes to focus on important task they are doing including on recruiting Noel and Jin's long lost oldest brother Ragna the Bloodedge into their rank as a key to save the universe from the corruptions within NOL.

### Appearance

Makoto is a squirrel-type demi-human young lady with short brown hair, a big curly brown tail, hazel eyes, and large breasts. She wears an Control Organization uniform with a black balmoral cap to cover her squirrel ears, a jet black cloak, and black military boots. In the end of BlazBlue: Alter Memory, she wears a black Control Organization uniform dress with a white collar and a short red tie, with two separate long sleeves that have two heavy metal bands and white gloves. This is her standard Control Organization uniform underneath her black cloak. She also has bandages on her eye and arm after she was severely tortured by Hazama as Yūki Terumi to make Noel get angry enough to break the emotional limiter of her Event Weapon, Bolverk.

She later wears this in the end of BlazBlue: Centralfiction, but her Control Organization uniform is blue.
When she is in battle, she switches her outfit to an orange fighter top showing the bottom-half of her bosom, two tonfas, black strap panties with an orange skirt-like cloth that allows most of her buttocks to escape, long black stockings, and orange small boots with yellow toes.

When she was in the Military Academy, she wore a standard school uniform, only with a darker mini skirt, black socks, and brown shoes.

As a child, Makoto wore a short orange top that bared her midriff and short black tights, and is barefoot.

In BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, Makoto does not wear her Control Organization uniform as her pre-battle outfit, trading it for an orange collared jacket with folden sleeves which was issued to her by Kokonoe. Kokonoe explains that the people of Ikaruga harbor hatred and resentment towards the Control Organization, which justifies the change in attire.

### Personality

Makoto is bubbly, kind, and cheerful at all times. There is rarely ever a time when Makoto is not friendly towards someone, and rarer still are the times when she is serious. There are many times when she can act silly and absent minded, but there is a sharp intellect behind her mannerisms, and Makoto is keenly aware of her surroundings and the feelings of those around her.

Growing up, Makoto faced extreme racial prejudice because of her species. Over time, she used to be cruel, mean, and selfish. She began to feel hatred for humans, but would never resort to violence. There were times where she would be physically abused by humans her own age just because of her demi-human heritage, but Makoto's only retaliation would be verbal comments. But then Makoto had a change of heart by Tsubaki’s words when she confronted her fellow female classmates who were picking on her. When she, Tsubaki, and Noel were trapped in the lower levels of Kagutsuchi, it was revealed that she just wanted to be accepted for who she is. Thanks to Noel and Tsubaki's kindness, she overcame her hatred. Relius Clover, however, has noted that deep within her soul that her hatred still persists.

Makoto also has a serious side when it comes to her friends, as Noel and Tsubaki are everything to Makoto. If anything were to happen to them, it would quite literally break her spirit. She has the ability to make friends easily thanks to her outgoing nature, and hates to see her own friends fight amongst one another. Makoto will do anything for those she loves, and is especially close to her large family. She has even confronted Hazama when she discovers what he did to Noel.

During her arcade ending in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, she lashes out at Hazama for calling beastmen just mere tools created simply to fight the Black Beast, showing her dislike for being discriminated. This is also revealed when Relius, during Makoto’s Bad Ending, messes up with her mind, recalling painful memories of being rejected and ostracized as a beastman.

In BlazBlue: Chronophantasma, while she likes Kagura Mutsuki as a person, she dislikes his lecherous behavior, which includes multiple attempts to flirt with her and Noel, offering the latter drinks which are implied to be alcoholic in nature, and attempts to grab Makoto’s breasts. In her special intro with Kagura, he tries to grope her, but she parries and punches him back in response. Many other characters have joked or insulted Makoto based on her sexual outfit and body, with Kokonoe and Noel admitting to be jealous, yet Makoto herself obviously is not embarrassed by it and prefers to fight with such light clothing.

In her spare time, Makoto can be found playing lacrosse or eating at all-you-can-eat buffets, two of her favourite activities.

### Relationships

#### **Noel Vermillion** / **Tsubaki Yayoi** / **Mai Natsume**

Makoto's friends from since Military Academy, she remains loyal to them.

## Abilities

As she is a demi-human, Makoto's natural abilities are far stronger than that of a human. She has the physical strength to easily carry Tsubaki over her shoulder as if she weighs nothing, and sprint while carrying her. Makoto can easily punch huge craters into the ground with seemingly no effort - her physical abilities alone were enough to allow her admission into the Military Academy since her aptitude with Ars Magus is not exceptional.

Makoto's soul is sharp, pointing in all directions and has enough strength to warrant the interest of Relius. She can survive a journey through the Boundary thanks to her soul's power, and is even gifted with the Power of Order; Makoto gained this power through her determination and sheer will to protect her friends, allowing for her to resist Phenomenon Intervention, but it is nowhere near as strong as the power employed by Jin Kisaragi.

In battle, Makoto uses a pair of cross-shaped tonfa to augment her incredible natural abilities. Her in-game Drive is Impact, which allows her to charge her punches to deliver blows of various strengths. Makoto can create projectiles and summon large projections of her fists to deliver long-ranged blows.

It was also stated in the anime, BlazBlue: Alter Memory, she was specially admitted into the Military Academy for her athletic abilities.

In Arcade mode, both Lambda-11 and Nu-13 (also Mu-12 in Continuum Shift) note that Makoto exhibits a surprisingly strong resistance to magic element, eroding at 0.2% of the normal rate. This may correlate with and explain her average aptitude with Magic Formula; even if she is adept at wielding it, she may simply not be drawing in enough to sufficiently power it.

In her storyline, Rachel states that her “unyielding will” and her strong attachment to Noel and Tsubaki are what kept her soul intact during her journey through the Boundary; likewise, Relius notes that she has a hardy soul, both focused and pointing in multiple directions, and thus was able to “leap across time and space”. How this correlates with the rest of her abilities is as yet undefined.

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Power of Order**

A manifestation of the world's natural order which is given to individuals to assist in countering something that disturbs the order. It allows the user to dispel Phenomena Intervention and ward off even the Immortal Breaker with ease. Makoto's Power of Order's opposition is currently unknown. Additionally, it allows her to will individuals into existence, if only for brief periods.

#### **Planet Crusher: "Shattering the Stars"**

Makoto charges up, then lunges forward. On hit, she then goes into a barrage of punches, then ends by punching the opponent through the moon.
