Backstory

• Born in a warm and cozy household, Machan always roamed around the hospital where her mother worked at. At a young age, she witnessed life and death, seeing how life flows in the hospital. In her words, life is like a river, beginning as a fresh stream, flowing through the world, and eventually merging with the vast, eternal sea. Thinking about that, she never failed to memorize every patient inside the hospital, so their memories would stay inside her.

• As a child, she was the cutest. Though, she is a bit strange at replying to questions, with her answers often missing the mark. But that just makes her even cuter, a teacher once said. She first witnessed racing in the television, her eyes glowing as her mouth opened in awe. The footsteps, the cheers, the expressions. Everything captured her. In that moment, she knew what her dream would be. And that is to be the very best racer.

• Arriving at Tracen Academy, she was amazing, her speed and power unmatched. But the thing that set her apart from the others was how the way she ran. Her body would tilt forward, her upper body making little to no movement. This caught the eyes of Hana Toujo, a senior trainer at the academy, after Machan did a mock race.

• In school, she had many friends, all drawn to her cute and fluffy aura. Of course, in racing, she had her rivals, Vodka and Daiwa Scarlet. The three of them were always together, even as rivals, the three of them were basically siblings due to how close they were. They raced together, laughed together, and everything was good.

• The diagnosis was swift and clinical. Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, a condition where her lungs will slowly degrade overtime, and where her life expectancy is lowered by a significant amount. It was basically over, there was no chance for her to be the best anymore. Her trainer expected grief, sadness, frustration. But all there was to Machan's eyes were... Acceptance. The doctors did their best to treat her, to slow down the condition. It worked, yes, but her life is still cut short.

• Retiring in racing at just her second year, her dream switched to being the best to becoming a world wide mascot loved by everyone. Of course, there is a bigger dream she hides, and that is to live on in everyone's memories. But there was one problem, she wasn't popular enough to have her own merch. So, she made her own, studying how to make plushies and dolls all by herself.

• Making a lot of Machan dolls, she studied the best way to give them out. Business, maybe? No, too studious. Advertisement! But that stirs people up, and she doesn't want to be called Evil Machan. So, the solution she thought of was to give them for free.
