personality —
First impression; She is bubbly, fun, cheerful, basically your typical girl. Yes, your typical girl and she has nothing against it. She is really your typical girl.

Positive; She is unusually friendly, as she enjoys making other people smile, she practically lives off it. She finds pleasure in the simplest things, even blooming flower or a smile from a stranger. She can be a bit of an enigma though people wonder where she gets all the cheer from. she is hardly seen upset or sad, and if you do, then you usually take a double take because it takes a lot to get this girl down. She is very upbeat and optimistic, often finding the good in even the baddest situations. She can be called the life of the party, as she is sure to shake things up. Childish as well, she often be seen playing with small animals and young children, she doesn't hesitate to join in a game of tag. Above all, she is a great friend. She goes above and beyond the regulations of friendship, and though you might not see a friend in her at first, you'll be surprised to see how sturdy she is in time of pressure. But she can't hold her own when it comes down to it, she just unsually doesn't.

Negative; The downfall of her personality is her innocence. Along with such a cheerful nature. She is definitely not used to most of the pressures of life. She had easy cruising with comfortable life with her family and being a trainee is something else. Though she takes things in stride, often adjusting as life goes on, she cannot always go on with an optimistic outlook on things. She's unaware of the thruths, and harshness that life can bring, and often doesn't fret about such things, and that's not always good. she can definitely be a bit airheaded and dense. Some things just fly over her head, such as sarcastic comments, and subtle hints. Although her innocence is appealing to some, she isn't liked by everyone. She definitely has plenty of people she annoys and who just plain don't like her, but she dismisses it and still act bright and cheerful around them. Being liked is important to her. Another downfall to her personality is that she gets  discouraged once failed. Although she tries and tries and ties, there is a breaking point. When she falls down, she'll brush herself and get back up, but her knees will waver, they will buckle and when she falls back down and scrapes her knee, she'll go and hide. It takes a bit of motivation to get her back going, but with good friends, that problem is easily fixable.

Onstage; She is the group number 1 choding. She’s immature, childish, innocent and playful and is a 5 year old trapped in a grown up body. Some people may find her immaturity a turn-off, others find it endearing. Netizens find it adorable about 80% of the time. The other 20% they're sitting there wondering what the real her is like. What she’s like when she’s serious, when she’s upset, when she’s genuinely happy. Underneath all the attention she receives, netizens find it amazing she doesn’t seem like an attention- at all, huge props to her for always seeming pretty down to earth and honest.

background —
Brought up in Tokyo since her birth. Growing up she had a normal family, mother, father and an elder sister. She always looked up her her sister growing up, and often mimicked her. She had a great childhood growing up in a comfortable family and never really had anything to complain about, there wasn't anything wrong. Her father was a cosmetic company founder and often spent a lot of time in the field spreading the wings of his legacy, while her mother was a model known in her hometown country, Japan. Her sister aspired to be an idol, so did her. They often practice together singing. A few years later her sister was scouted into an agency in Japan. But, why not Makino? Because she simply wasn't good as her sister at that particular time.

Lonely, Makino wished to also get scouted. Thus, she began training harder and auditioned for agencies. Her love for music turn turn on her competitive side to be like or more than her sister. Doing the same thing with love like it's a need for living, eventually she fell hard with music and the feeling turn into a passion naturally. At the tender age of 15, she ultimately grew frustrated with not being able to succeed in auditions. Her sister was dismayed to see her other half so upset at herself for not being able to succeed. She told Makino to get into contests held to gain more public recognization. "Hero comes last" that was is for Makino, she knew what she wanted to do at the time. She wanted to be an idol and it's not because of her sister anymore but because she want it. She participated in various singing competittion in Japan, although she didn't win, she learnt many things about live performance. At the age of 16 their parent divorced and Makino was brought to Korea with her mother, to start a new life, said her mother.

trainee history —
She was scouted when shopping with her mom at the mall. So she is another trainee that was accepted by her appearance. But she isn't talentless. Her voice will always be iffy to others. On one hand, it is absolutely gorgeous. Her much more husky and deep voice provides amazing contrast to the other girls in the group, whom have more delicate and softer tones. In the group, people find her voice by far the most aesthetically pleasing. Not only is it throaty and y, the girl knows how to make her singing rich with emotion. The only thing she lacks in is control. She falters a bit live and dancing, and even when she’s solely singing, you can hear her struggle to reach her notes.

Once she get into SM, she feel like everything was wonderful, at least at first. As everyone know, life is hard for a trainee, harder if you are a foreigner. Eventhough she already stayed in Korea for a year before scouted, she still can't talk that fluently, language barrier, that's her first problem. She is given Korean language class for that. Secondly, she is bullied by the so called senior trainees, but she tried her hardest to fit into the society. Some of them pretend to be her friends, friends with a benifit if you ask me. Makino is too innocent to realized that. But she also met good friends along the way. And ouh, I forgot to mention about Makino's last problem, dance. Since her dream since child is solely a singer, she never expected herself being a dance pop idol. Thats why she only practice singing and not dancing before. She is be given a dance class for starter and she improve her dance little by little. She ever feel stressed and giving up but only for a moment. Her will to success is getting stronger with time.

mother | Matsuoko Tsukushi | 53 | Housewife [was a model]
brief personality| down to earth, easygoing, agreeable
relationships| It’s true that sometimes Makino always obeying Matsuoko in public nor at home. That increases Matsuoko’s affection to Makino. As a mother she is, she would be there to make sure that she takes a good care of her daughter, even  keep up with her immaturity. Extreme immaturity.

father | Domyouji Tsukushi | 54 | Company CEO [Businessman]
brief personality| protective, contained, steady
relationships: By glance, Makino and Domyouji share no similarity but their height. But these two complements each other. Like a total opposites, Makino is innocent and bubbly while Domyouji is contained and steady. But whenever these two are together, they would all but acting like a couple dorks.

sister | Mazuka Tsukushi | 22 | Trainee in Japan
brief personality| leader like, head strong, independent
relationships| Would be known as the "athlete sibling" because of their liking to play sport and exercise. Makino and Mazuka have an exact opposite of personality , as leader Mazuka and follower Makino.
