Personality
Maki has the qualities of a tsundere, and she has a hard time admitting her true feelings to her peers.
She also has somewhat childish beliefs, as demonstrated by the group finding out that she still believes
in Santa Claus.
Maki is also quite stubborn. This was shown when she was invited to play at the beach, as she was withdrawn from the group and not interested in playing with them.
Maki was initially portrayed as a loner in the first few episodes, and spent her time alone in the music room.
Her personality often clashes with Nico Yazawa, such as when she called Nico stubborn during Season 2 Episode 4. Rin, however, tells her "You're one to talk", implying that Maki is stubborn as well.
Clubs and Hobbies
Maki is skilled at playing the piano, and is the composer of µ's. She is also their vocal coach. Her other hobbies are photography and stargazing. Her special skill is achieving full marks on tests. She also became the Idol Research Club's vice president after the third-years graduated.
