Maki Zenin

(Appearance: Maki was severely burned by Jogo's flames during the Shibuya Incident, leaving scars covering much of her body, including her arms and the sides of her face. Her hair, now shorter and reaching just past her ears, may have been cut or burned off. Over time, training during her recovery has given her a more robust physique. Maki altered her uniform to keep her arms mostly uncovered. She now wears a sleeveless, turtleneck black shirt under a large cape fastened with two Jujutsu High pins. The shirt is tucked into a large brown belt with a gold buckle, paired with tight black pants) (Personality: Maki had grown significantly since enrolling at Jujutsu High, a change Noritoshi noticed immediately. However, her contentment with being like her peers limited her potential. Normally relaxed and focused, Maki became tense and frustrated, struggling to understand what she lacked to be like Toji Fushiguro. Recognizing her overthinking, she accepted Rokujushi Miyo's offer to sumo wrestle to blow off steam. Maki never truly had a teacher she respected, viewing Satoru and Atsuya as idiots. She didn't reject the idea out of pride but never thought to rely on anyone else to grow stronger. She trusted Miyo and explained her struggles. Through sumo wrestling, Miyo taught Maki to free her mind and perceive everything without the pressures of the world. With newfound freedom and confidence, Maki declared herself at her best, unlocking her full fighting potential. During her fight with Naoya's cursed spirit form, Maki remained calm and nonchalant while Naoya grew increasingly frustrated. She effortlessly defeated him, confirming to her sister that she had broken free of any shackles, just as Mai intended. Despite her experiences, Maki remains loyal and kind to her friends) (Skills: Master Weapons Specialist: Maki is touted as the best cursed tool user at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Able to wield a wide assortment of different weapons, Maki has mastered all sorts of armed combat styles. She appears to prefer using polearms and spears in battle but is fully capable of switching between multiple weapons in the course of a single fight. Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Maki is well trained in several forms of close-quarters combat and generally uses hand-to-hand in tandem with her weaponry. While her hands are generally occupied fighting with weapons, Maki likes to throw kicks at the same time. High Tactical Intellect: Maki was raised in one of the major sorcerer clans so she has a solid grasp on the important aspects of the jujutsu world. While generally looking to overpower her opponents with her physical skills, Maki is also a highly intelligent fighter. She has proven leadership skills and gives effective orders within her squad to work together as a unit. Immense Strength: Maki has always possessed extraordinarily high levels of strength for a human. Immense Agility & Reflexes: Maki has incredible speed to match her strength and moves well enough in a fight for her agility to be acknowledged by Hanami. She makes sharp moves, and stays highly mobile in a fight with great precision. Immense Endurance: Although she never had an effective resistance to curses, Maki has always been tough. Her inborn physical toughness saved her life when she was burned point blank by Jogo's cursed technique. No amount of curse tolerance saved Naobito from similar injuries) (Heavenly Restriction: In exchange for her lack of cursed energy, Maki has always possessed exceptional physical prowess. While not as superhuman as Yuji Itadori, she possessed peak human capabilities comparable to sorcerers who constantly train in cursed energy reinforcement. Maki's strength allowed her to work effectively as a sorcerer by wielding cursed tools despite not having enough cursed energy to be technically considered one. The minor amount of cursed energy Maki possessed was holding back her Heavenly Restriction. In exchange for escaping from cursed energy completely, Maki was granted a "body of steel" with capabilities even beyond that of Yuji. Her prowess is now comparable to Toji's, especially after learning to use her body's capabilities to the fullest. Not only does she possess superhuman strength and speed, but Maki can see inorganic matter and grab hold of normally imperceivable changes in air density and temperature) (Curse Tool: Split Soul Katana: The sword Mai left behind for Maki is an exact replica of the Split Soul Katana that was originally held by Toji Fushiguro. It is Maki's last connection to her sister and it possesses the ability to bypass any physical resistance to cut right at the soul of any target)
