Maki

"Im maki and and I EAT DRU'S MOTHER"

-Maki to Clay in Chapter 3

Maki Nishikino (possibly now 'Maki Miller') is Vance's girlfriend and is mostly known for being a former u's member. In the past she was raped by Giorno and had conflict with the Zeamy gang in the now infamous McDonald's Massacre. She is a minor character in Season 2 of ZBA and major character in Season 3 of the original trilogy, she makes a reappearance in Chapter 2, Season 1, as a wanted fugitive being sought by the DITH Organization.

Following that she would become a series regular, moving into the base of screen before the "Boyfriend Stealer Arc". She is known for being grumpy, a 'tsundere' and a musician.

Appearence
Maki wears her school uniform (despite no longer attending her old school) and casual clothes from Love Live. On accasion she can be shown to wear hoodies similar to Vances.

Later on in the series, her eyes are known to turn green with her stand energy when shes aggrivated.

Personality
In ZNA, Maki's short temper and tsundere traits are highly flanderized. Though generally she's the same personality wise as her "Love Live" counter part.

Maki can be seen as very cold and soulless at times, though she does care about others. She has a continuous rivalry with Algernon, a disdain towards Dru and overall disliking for Oboma. Besides Vance, she has surprisingly shown to be a good foil to Darwin, however following the Algernon Saga Maki doesn't seem to care for Darwin much anymore. She showed a strong hate toward Kumin due to her strange quiet nature and how she was "just a random maid who out of the blue got way too much attention", though as the series progresses they become "bestfriends" of sorts. She can also be rather blunt as in one instance she doesn't hesitate to question why a girl like Kumin would be interested and inspired in a person like Zeamy. Maki used to be distant towards her family prior to the End Game Arc as if she was embarrassed by them, she loses this after "Holding on for Hamilton Part 2".

Vance
Maki and Vance have a very healthy romantic relationship, though at times they are known to fall out. Maki cares deeply about Vance and she and him often act like best friends. Maki is shown to get jealous somewhat easily when it comes to miller. She's also very sensitive when it comes to how people talk about Vance. Generally, they get along very well.

Kumin
Kumin and Maki initially had a somewhat one sided rivalry because Maki was jealous of her many skills, and still is to an extent. Maki was orginally very hostile towards Kumin often calling her rude names or making other remarks about her but after seeing the good in her durring the EndGame Film she puts her differences with Kumin aside and tries to influence her to do the right thing.

In later appearences, Maki and Kumin's rivarly has become more of a friendly one. Maki no longer throws around petty insults and is often shown supporting Kumin at times, like durring "All Rise for Kumin", "Presidential Gangers Part 1" and "Dreamy with Zeamy". Kumin and Maki have been shown to be good friends, though like with most people Maki sometimes struggles to be nice all the time. Kumin never had any ill will towards Maki even when she was a spy for scarlett, but after being reformed she seems to think of Maki as her bestfriend.

Kumin seems to be Maki's only real friend, besides possibly member of the Kumin Gang and her old friends from u's.

Zeamy
While Maki has critisized Zeamy many times, she is generally indifferent towards Zeamy. Whenever Zeamy makes threats against Tibbles Maki is quick to critisize. Generally Zeamy and Maki don't have much of a relationship, though they get along just fine when it comes to gang activity.

Eugene
Despite being annoyed and sometimes disgusted by Eugene's antics, Maki and Eugene generally get on well. They both make music and on occassion help eachother with songs, sometimes they even make songs together.Maki often times hangs out with Eugene since he is Vance's bestfriend besides Togni.

Powers and Abilities
In ZBA, Chapter 1 to be specific, Maki had a couple of abilities before she would be irrelevant to the seasons. It is revealed in Chapter 2 that Maki has had a stand and quirk for quite a while though she never introduces them until then. In Season 2 of Chapter 1 she keeps the idea to Vance, Ross, Trump, Algernon, and the remaining minions that she is just a quirkless standless female in love with Vance. When she falls in love with Jorino in Season 3 of Chapter 1 Jorino gets cocky and repeatedly transfers quirks and stands to her, though they were temporary and Maki never used them to their fullest potential against Algernon the 2nd and Zeamy in that season. Maki is superhuman technically as she barely survives the impact of the McDonald's Massacre.

In Chapter 2, specifically the "Boyfriend Stealer Arc", she frequently uses her stand which seems to be very identical to "Hierophant Green". She uses it to attack a horde of redditors, bicker with Algernon, fight against an imposter Buzz, and to defeat Yui Komori. The specifics of Maki's quirk have never been revealed, Though she posses the ability to float when using her stand.

Quotes

Trivia

 * Up until Kumin's introduction, Maki was the most prominant female character in the show. She remains the most imfamous but Kumin has since taken her title of main female ganger due to Kumin's association with Zeamy and Character Ark taking up so much screen time
