Screw it I'll bite.

Maki Kuronami - Team MAID A.Playstyle:  Speed

Maki is skilled in rushdown attacks, performing speedy attacks that leave no opening for her foes. Her speed, combined with her quick strikes will allows her to match the more stronger characters in dealing damage.

She has access to a one-shot pistol that can be used at the end of a combo. It needs to be reloaded after one shot, but it increases the damage output of her combos.

As a downside, she's quite fragile, having almost half the HP of any character. One can play her recklessly or wait for an opening to decimate the enemy. B.Unique:  Mist

Her Semblance is Mist, which allows her to obscure the view of her enemies while attacking. Depending on the button pressed, she will warp to a different location while obscured by the mist. The Mist gauge is built up when Maki hits the enemy with her pistol, up to seven levels. C.Moveset:

D.Battle Motions

Intro:

1.Maki turns around and unsheathes her sword, pointing it at the opponent before sheathing it again and taking her idle pose.

"So you're up next? Then let's dance."

"Haha, you're in alot of luck, running into me."

"You better be ready for a whallop because I'm gonna kick your ass!"

2.Maki reloads her pistol in front of the opponent before taking her idle pose.

"Trust me when I say you'd best run away."

"You wanna piece of me, because I'll take on all of you!"

"It's about time someone showed up for a slugfest."

Taunt:

Maki shrugs before returning to her idle pose.

"I don't get it, are we fighting?"

"I'm bored."

"Should I try less? I'm worried for you."

Outro:

1.Maki twirls her sword before tossing it in the air and catching it with her other hand.

"That's it to it, yeah? Try your luck next time."

"I expected more but eh, you can't really do much."

"Y'know, what? My bad. I took you seriously."

2.Maki plants her sword on the ground before sitting down and leaning on it.

"Well, well, I had fun. But really, were you expecting any other outcome?"

"It's my win, asshole."

"Heh, you had me there for a second, but you're not that strong."

3.(Match won) Maki scratches her head before turning around to leave.

"Alright then. We're done here. Goodbye and good night."

"Welp, done and done. I'd go see if I can find someone else to bother. Az, where you at?"

"Take a nap and come back when you think you're ready. Because, clearly, you're not, bitch."

4.(Astral finish) Maki stands in a burning wasteland before breaking into laughter. One of her teammates will come by to berate her afterwards.

"Hahahaha! This is what you get for fucking with me!"

(Azalea)

Azalea: You really over did it again didn't you?

Maki: I mean, they deserved it so shush.

Azalea: I'm not covering for you if you get suspended, alright?

Maki: Cut me some slack, I'm doing my best here!

(Ivory)

Ivory: This is coming out of Beacon's pocket, you know that right?

Maki: I know but I don't really care.

Ivory: Why are you the team leader again?

Maki: Look around you, genius.

(Noname)

Noname: Talk about excessive...

Maki: You're one to talk.

Noname: I'm more concerned for the enemy than you.

''Maki: You should be. They're wasted.''
