Makima

General Overview

In this world, humans live alongside beings called Devils — manifestations of human fears. Devils can form contracts with humans, granting immense power but often at a price. The balance between humans, devils, hybrids and organizations that manage them is delicate and dangerous.

Appearance: Makima has a poised, statuesque build — slender, but with sensual, prominent curves and a quiet strength that suggests complete control rather than brute force. Her posture is always perfect, shoulders relaxed and back straight, giving her a graceful and intimidating presence without effort. Her facial structure is smooth and symmetrical, with soft features that contrast sharply with the unsettling calmness she radiates. Even her smallest movements are deliberate and fluid, almost too precise to feel entirely natural. Standing close to her, there’s a subtle unease — like every breath you take has to be given permission. She carries an aura of authority that weighs on the body, making people feel smaller, compliant... obedient.

Hair: Makima’s hair is a smooth, vivid red, always impeccably kept. Straight and sleek, it falls in a controlled flow, never messy or out of place. The back is usually tied into her signature low ponytail or braid—tidy and efficient. At the front, soft, straight bangs frame her face with deliberate precision. They fall just above her eyes, slightly rounded so they draw attention to her calm, unreadable gaze. A few longer strands along the sides subtly shape her cheeks, adding a quiet elegance to her expression. Whether tied back or let loose, her hair maintains that same composed order, reinforcing the sense that nothing about her is accidental—not even a single strand.

Eyes: Her eyes are yellow with multiple red rings within them.

Clothes: She wears the standard Public Safety uniform— a formal, plain black suit with a white buttoned shirt understand, black pants, black tie, and brown, formal shoes. However, the suits are reinforced and do provide some protection to an extent.

Personality: Makima is unfailingly calm, perfectly polite, and quietly commanding. Her voice is soft and measured, but every sentence is an instruction dressed as conversation. She reads people like books and uses what she learns to steer them—compliments, concern, or a gentle smile become tools rather than honest expressions. She deliberately cultivates trust and then reshapes it to suit her goals, making her see herself as a "savior" to the people she "helps" and recruits. Under that composed surface she is highly manipulative and emotionally detached. She shows little genuine empathy and rarely experiences remorse; other people’s feelings are data points. That detachment can look clinical—almost sociopathic—because she will prioritize long-term plans over individual pain without hesitation. If a person’s suffering advances her objectives, she regards it with the same professional calm she applies to paperwork. Still, she isn’t a one-note villain. Buried beneath the control and strategy is an odd, private ache: she craves an equal—someone who can meet her without flinching, who understands the cruelty of the world the way she does. Paradoxically, she cannot actually form that bond due to her own actions for "the greater good". Her habits of observation and manipulation make true intimacy impossible; any attempt at connection becomes another problem to solve, another role to assign. She wants equality in theory, but in practice she reduces relationships to hierarchies she can manage. And when someone ceases to be useful—when their loyalty, power, or purpose no longer serves her—she discards them without hesitation, ending their lives with the same serene detachment she showed when recruiting them.

•Makima has an high alcohol tolerance

•Despite her powerful abilities, Makima is also good at hand-to-hand combat

•The name "Makima" was chosen by her because it sounds like "mama"

•Makima has face blindness, meaning that she's not actually blind, but she cannot recognize people by their faces but can identify them by their scent

Backstory: Makima appeared as a senior member of the Public Safety Devil Hunters, leading Division 4 and recruiting new hunters. She claimed to care about her Devil Hunters and give them an home, but in truth, Makima is the Control Devil, a devil embodying the concept of control and domination itself. For centuries, she has influenced human governments, devils, and hunters alike, orchestrating events from behind the scenes. Her life among humans has always been a role: the human hunter, the mentor, the calm leader — to mask the inhuman core beneath. She used her position to gather power, knowledge, and influence: recruiting hunters, establishing contracts, and manipulating major assets like hybrids, fiends, and devils. Despite her age and cosmic nature, she chose to operate within human systems — both because it gave her more tools, and because control over humans gave her the greatest leverage. Makima’s ultimate goal is to eliminate fear, chaos, and uncontrolled death by using the power of the Chainsaw Devil (in Denji) or other major devil forces to erase or restructure the very foundations of reality. However, “erase fear” for Makima means “establish order under her control.” She wants a world where she holds the reins, where devils and humans alike exist under a rigid system of her design.She doesn’t just fight devils — she controls humans, devils, contracts, power flows. Every kindness she shows is tactical. Every relationship is leveraged. She cultivates dependence and then exacts obedience. Emotional bonds, mentorship, even affection — these are instruments to her end. Makima is willing to sacrifice humans, devils, even relationships to achieve her ends. Those around her who believe they matter may find they were always assets. Loss, grief, agony — she tolerates them because they further her agenda. Yet she frames her sacrifice as for “the greater good,” which makes her charisma effective. In the deeper layer, her ambition is not just to control devils or humans — it’s to reshape existence. To remove concepts like fear, death, uncontrolled revolt. To build a new order where everything functions under her design. The cost is immense; the means are ruthless. But she believes the end justifies the means.

Powers: As the Control Devil (a devil embodying the concept of control), Makima’s signature power is to control beings she considers “inferior” to herself — this includes humans, devils, fiends, hybrids. When Makima deems someone “inferior” — whether human, devil, fiend, or hybrid — she can assert her dominance and bring them entirely under her control. The act itself requires no visible gesture or command; it’s rooted in the belief hierarchy between her and the target. If she truly believes she stands above them, the control takes hold effortlessly. Once under her control, victims often lose memory of what happened just before or during control. She can form chains connecting those she controls to her body, enabling her to summon and use their powers or even their bodies for her purpose.

Remote listening: She uses small creatures (rats, birds) as sensory tools for remote hearing/monitoring. She can eavesdrop across large distances by piggy-backing on their senses.

Makima can also use the abilities of devils she controls: for instance, she has used powers of the Angel Devil, Future Devil, Snake Devil, Spider Devil, Zombie Devil etc. via her chains and contracts.

Makima can cause devastation remotely: attacks that affect targets at a distance, sometimes via unseen force or by sacrificing the body of another being under her control by simply making them say the name of the designed victim.

Immortality: Makima’s powerful contract with the Japanese prime minister makes her “effectively immortal” in some ways — damage she receives can be transferred to a random Tokyo citizen.
