★ Folkmore Roles & Attributes ★

Skills: Master in hand to hand and armed combat.
Canon Abilities: immense strength, endurance, agility and reflexes
Role: Myth
Role Qualities/Attributes: Claws definitely maybe fangs. 
Role Reasoning:  I chose myth because Maki basically ticks all the boxes. She's motivated by her own personal goals, values herself over the collective, considers the communal ideas outdated and is seeking to turn all of that on its head. Her goal to become clan head is motivated by spite over how she was treated as a kid and the fact she walked away from her sister is proof that she puts herself first.  She even in canon scoffs at the idea she's in this to save anyone. She does put everything she has into all she does, though, seeking to excel in every way and silence the voices that always denigrated her. 

★ Personality ★

Please choose one of the follow options for your personality section. Please clarify which option you have picked and, if option 2, which questions you are answering:

Option 1. Summarize your character's personality in general and what their full potential would look like to them and what they would be willing to go through to meet that potential and what gaining that potential would mean to them. 400-800 word requirement.
As a Jujutsu sorcerer from a prestigious clan, Zen'in Maki has both the skills and intelligence to excel in the profession as well as the ambition and  drive to achieve her personal  goals. She's an exceptionally gifted martial artist with nearly any weapon she can lay her hands on. Maki's also a gifted tactician and able to adjust her strategies on the fly when presented with unexpected changes in a situation. She's reslient in both life and battle, not letting anything keep her down and aware of when to fall back so there's a better chance of overall success

. As a child, both she and her sister were expected to serve. As twins, they were seen as unlucky and Maki even more so given her lack of cursed energy. But she never let it stop her and she's more or less fearless or at least able to move as needed and suppress said fear along with her other emotions, which definitely serves her well in combat. She's protective of her own people, but also very aware of their abilities and how to best use them in any given situation. Maki does have generally good relationships with the other students at the school, although I'd say she's closest to Fushiguro Megumi, if only because they share similar views and something of a similar background as well as being related.

 Her relationship with her sister is more combative, due to the fact that Maki was strong enough to leave and pursue her goals while Mai would have been happy with the two of them staying as they had been. Maki putting herself first over the clan actually tends to contradict the general value of the community over the individual and her own choices reflect that. She's not looking to save anyone though, more training as a sorcerer to further her own personal goals.

Maki while talented in combat and skilled at training doesn't take it easy on anyone, both off and on the battlefield. She's not one to mince words and she will call people out as she sees fit. She doesn't respect age or position either, something other students are more aware of, no matter their personal feelings. She's extremely practical and due to her past and upbringing more closed off and used to handling things herself. 

In terms of potential, I think her goals would be to close the gaps in her abilities so she's not reliant on anyone, even a little bit, especially in situations where they might be hurt. That said, I think my goals are her working to become a more balanced individual  and learning to navigate her own issues and emotions so she's more stable overall. Not that she's not stable or able to function, especially in combat situations. She puts aside her own past even working with the clan she left behind for the sake of improving her own status. Whatever her personal opinions, her goals will always come first.  >
