Makoto Nanaya

Personality: Makoto is a silly, friendly, generally whimsical and energetic demi-human. She also appears to be somewhat scatter-brained, though this trait belies her true aptitude as an Intelligence operative and spy for the 7th Agency. She is one of Noel’s best friends, though unlike Tsubaki, she harbors no jealousy towards her. She cares deeply for her friends and cannot stand when they fight each other. When she was in Military Academy, she used to be cruel, mean, selfish, and hated humans, but then 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. Makoto also has a serious side when it comes to her friends, and 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, but there are times Makoto felt glad whenever Kagura was about to touch Makoto, Hayate would knocked him out for being a perverted man he is.

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. Even in the Remix Heart manga, Makoto is implied to be bisexual due to the multiple escapades she has with Mai Hazuki. These range from kissing her, fondling her and even watching her being forced to touch Kajun Faycott sexually; even when Tsubaki and Noel look away, Makoto watches avidly. She also happens to be attracted to Naoto Kurogane at one point during BlazBlue: Centralfiction.

Yet in spite of all this, there are times where Makoto herself tends to easily be exasperated in quite a few comical situations as one of the few "straight-man"-types which makes her overall personality fairly dynamic.

History: She is a squirrel-type demi-human and is considerably hyperactive with a short attention span, though she has proven to be rather cunning when she needs to be. She is outgoing and adventurous. She has a few complexes about her race, but nonetheless, she acknowledges who she is and is proud of it. In BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Makoto works for the World Void Information Control Organization Intelligence Department with Hazama but is actually a spy for the 7th Agency. In the True Ending, she defects from the Control Organization after finding out what happened and leaves with Noel and TR-0009 Tager.

In Makoto’s arcade ending in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II, it is revealed that one of the reasons Makoto is in the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi is because of her discovery of the several failed attempts by the Control Organization to create Noel at Ikaruga.

Heart to Heart Makoto first meets Noel Vermillion and Tsubaki Yayoi in the short story Heart to Heart. She first meets the duo when she arrives to her dorm, greeting them both with a cold attitude and introduces herself as Nanaya before dumping her belongings on her bed and leaving her two roommates in shock.

A few days later, Nanaya was being cruelly bullied by classmates, who pushed her, making racist remarks about her beastman heritage. After an exchange of insults, one of her peers attempted to smack her until Nanaya dodged when Noel stood between the two. Tsubaki immediately stepped in, demanding to know what had happened; she was met with harsh criticism from Nanaya, sarcastically asking about who put her in charge, yet the bullies continued to insult her until Noel stepped up and tried to explain what happened. When the bullies began to quash Noel’s sliver of courage, Tsubaki ordered them to be quiet and look at themselves in the mirror, however, after all had been silenced, Nanaya left. She was later punished by the student council after another incident.

Some time later, Nanaya saved Noel and Tsubaki from an, otherwise, deadly fall into the abandoned district, using her tail as a cushion for the impact. The lack of Magic Formula to regulate the temperature made the room they fell into extremely cold; Nanaya offered up her tail as a means of warmth for Noel. Eventually the trio began to argue until Noel innocently asked about what was so different between her and Nanaya. This led to Nanaya breaking down into a flood of emotions and the three finally became friends; shortly afterwards, Jin Kisaragi came to their rescue, with Nanaya instantly remarking that he looked “awesome”. The student council eventually punished the trio to do the school cooking, later on, Nanaya revealed her real name as Makoto Nanaya to the two and they began to cook.

Sometime later in the academy, Makoto met another fellow beastman on the rooftop who's a hybrid of both human male and wolf with black hair, black wolf ears and tail, has gold colored yellow eyes, Makoto wants to greet him but he just ignores her, being the lone wolf he is. In the hallway, Makoto was having a fun chat with Noel and Tsubaki until Makoto saw the wolf beastman again who is confronted by bullies that discriminates beastmens, the wolf beastman expressionless face ignores them until one the bullies was about to attack him, Makoto was about to help him but she was surprised that the wolf beastman grabbed the bully by his arm with fast reflexes, the wolf beastman threatens the bullies that it won't be just bones he's going to break, because of that, the bullies leaved him, Makoto was going to ask the wolf beastman if he's okay but he just ignores her which saddens Makoto. One day, Makoto was on the branches on the tree to grabbed some acorns, Noel and Tsubaki to becareful, Makoto tells them to not worry as she was about to grab another acorn, the branch she stood on breaks, making her slowly fall to the ground until someone catched her in the speed of light, saving her from the fall, the one who saved her was the same wolf beastman she met before, Makoto thanked him for saving her but he just walks away until Makoto asks his name, the wolf beastman's name is Hayate Kurosagi, Makoto thanked the wolf beastman again by saying his name before he leaves, which brought Makoto to get a strange new feelings for Hayate Kurosagi, as if it was a feel of love. After months has passed, Makoto was about to greet Hayate in his room but he was nowhere to be found until she founds a note left on his bed, saying he is gone for the mission he was ordered, Makoto is worried after many days has passed, she still hasn't seen him ever since he left.

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend In Makoto’s True Ending in BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, it was revealed that during Makoto’s time in Ikaruga, she had discovered a computer that was still gathering data from the Kiln. She also found a file on the 12th Prime Field created by Relius Clover and that it was none other than Noel.

Before Makoto could go back with the data she collected, the Kiln knocked her unconscious and sent her soul to a parallel world where she met an injured Jin and Hazama, who was out to kill Jin. They later met up with Bang Shishigami, who decided to heal Jin’s wounds. She then met up with Tager and Kokonoe Mercury to give them a disk, but she failed to give Kokonoe the right password saying it was Gnu when it was actually Baa. Kokonoe asked her the date of the disk, and Makoto said it was January 3, 2200. Kokonoe said that disk was useless to them because today’s date was December 31, 2199.

Shocked and confused, Makoto headed back to see Jin and found that he has escaped. She runs to the Control Organization where she met up with Tsubaki. Tsubaki told Makoto that she joined the 0th Division just to bring Jin back, and when she was done, she was going back to the 4th Thaumaturgist Squad. This caused Makoto to remember that Tsubaki joined the 0th Division out of her own free will after graduation. Then, Hazama showed up and told them that Ragna the Bloodedge was here, making Jin run after him. Makoto told Tsubaki to go after him and that she needed to talk to Hazama. Makoto asked Hazama where Noel was, and Hazama said she would not find Noel anywhere on the planet and that her sudden appearance messed up his entire plan. Before he could attack Makoto, Rachel Alucard jumped in and saved her, explaining the situation and how she can get back to her own world.

After Makoto returned to her own world, Rachel told her what caused her to travel back in time. Rachel pointed to the Kiln and three caskets of the failed clones of Noel Vermillion and told her that Noel and the failed copies are all human-made dolls, just like beastmen. Rachel asked Makoto what she plans to do now that she got to look at the truth that she was never meant to find out. Makoto said she was going to Kagutsuchi to save her friends.

BlazBlue: Chronophantasma After hearing Tsubaki is in Ikaruga from Kokonoe, she and Noel ran right out to there.

In the finale, Makoto joins with Tsubaki Yayoi in her Weaving Zero: Izayoi form and Bang Shishigami in the fight against Litchi Faye Ling, Carl Clover and Relius Clover inside a hidden dungeon below Wadatsumi. The two girls gave an opportunity for Bang to activate the device on the Kushinada’s Lynchpin but however the tag team of Nirvana and Ignis tries to prevent Bang from activating the Lynchpin. After Bang succeeded activating the Kushinada’s Lynchpin then Carl, Relius and Litchi flees together.
