Contents
Appearance
Almost always in her fedora, or sometimes a ballcap, that obscures her eyes. Generally wears jeans, a t-shirt and a leather jacket on the job. Owns fancier clothes too, even a couple dresses, and is not affraid to show off her ample bust and hips, just doesn't wear such complimentary clothes very often.
Personality
Tends to attempt to be the voice of reason in a given group, being a pragmatic person, but is flexible enough to realize that some people aren't going to be reasonable sometimes; deciding to just go with the flow in these situations. Can also be a little critical and blunt on the job, but does so with the best of intentions. In private she's soft spoken, friendly but doesn't sugar coat. Can be feminine when she wants to, but is generally too casual for that mess.
Background
Makoto is a bastard-child and does not talk about her life before being eight years old. At age eight, she met her father, Daisuke Jigen. At the time, he was the only blood reletive she had. He begrudgingly raised her, keeping her out of trouble but still teaching her pretty much everything he knew about guns as soon as she was able to hold one steady. She was a skilled gunslinger by her teens and had actually caught up to her dad's skill level by the time she graduated highschool. She began practicing to join the son of a family friend, Arsene Lupin IV, in the occupation of thievery before her arrest at the age of 18 by Kousuke Zenigata, an Interpol agent. As part of a bargain to avoid jail time, she enlisted into Interpol and learned the trade under Inspector Zenigata's tutelage, becoming skilled at infiltrating criminal holdouts and removing items and people of interest with stealth and efficiency. She now works more or less solo, both as a lead investigator and agent, and as a consultant for locals.
