History: Shiori Makado. The son of Kaido and Aisha Makado and the next in line to govern over the Makado's in their branch of the Yakuza. His father was a rather cold and ruthless crime lord as opposed to his mother who was a noble kindred spirit. His father being off always on business was never around even for his birth. He spent most of his childhood at the side of his mother who thought him to embrace his gentle nature much like her own despite the qualities of the family. She encouraged him that one day a kind hearted leader could very well unite the families in peace and harmony instead of warring with each other. Shiori took his mother’s words to heart and did his best to spread joy to his family to see them happy instead of sour all the time from fighting. By the time shiori was five years old and preparing to enter his first year of school his father Kaido decided to take his mother on vacation to Tokyo for their anniversary and promised to return in time to take him to his first day of school. Before leaving Aisha took her young son and brushed out his long crimson red hair putting it into a pony tail he loved to wear. They talked for a while about what they would be doing in Tokyo promising to call him daily and left shortly after with his father.
The first couple of days he waited by the phone awaiting his parents call and surely enough they did. The next day he received a call from his mother but his father was nowhere to be heard. She didn't say where he was only she would have him call when he returned to their room. The next few days he hadn't heard a word from his parents and he knew they should have returned by now as his entrance ceremony was around the corner. He waited and waited and there were still no signs of his parents return. They were only supposed to be gone a few days and yet they hadn't even so much as called. The day came for his ceremony and he refused to leave home without his parents being there to take him but his grandfather eventually calmed him and went in their place. After attending school for the first week and asking his grandfather daily had he heard anything from his parents he sighed and picked Shiori up onto his lap to explain that his parents had been killed by an unknown creature and that soon they would be holding a memorial service for them. This was a heavy blow to the psyche of young Shiori as he could never imagine life without his parents there with him. His large family was the only thing keeping the young boy from shutting down emotionally as he didn't know how to handle such a situation.
From this point on he did the only thing he knew how to do. Make his mother and father proud of him despite their absence. He eventually was able to regain himself and continue on with his life excelling through school if not in social activities. He was bright yet he was a socially awkward child. Lots of times he was made fun of for his long red hair and other times because he resembled a girl in name and appearance. He never argued or fought with them he just ignored them and kept to himself. Many of his family members would suggest he stand his ground and fight for his honor. To him and the teaching of his parents that wasn’t the true method to ending aggression. This was always bothersome to him as he was a very gentle natured child and the violence and crime of being in such a family was very depressing. Shiori thought long and hard about ways that he could help make things better with the yakuza but nothing really stood out to him. Though there was one activity he was interested in that seemed to work for others. Martial arts. As a young boy he would often watch live action super heroes who were very strong and noble defending the innocent through profound abilities in martial arts. He vowed to one day learn to do the same to assist in his goal of uniting the families. He was taken under his family’s wing and was taught in the same ways his Father was.
As he was ready to graduate into junior high school his grandfather began to speak with him about how he was getting older and soon he would have to take the place of his father as the head of the family. This was something he had been preparing himself for but their ideals of running the family were completely opposite of his own desires. He wanted peace and tranquility. They wanted more violence and bloodshed in the conquest to be the strongest family in japan. He started to neglect his grandfather's lectures in business and warfare. Since he was denied his teachings for a while he decided to take his martial prowess and use it in another productive way by taking up dance lessons with a private tutor his grandmother hired for him. The hours he put into dancing were the only peace of mind he could obtain within his own home. Step by step he began learning several dances that took to him and made him feel as if he was telling his tale of turmoil lying deep within his heart as his tutor would put it. When he was ready he put on a performance for his family that left them in silence of his grace and beauty. They seemed to understand his desires for peace through his dance. They seemed to be closer together enjoying the performance and this is what he wanted more than anything. It would help to promote unity within the ranks, though to his dismay his grandfather was not all too happy about this. He did not like the fact the only heir left to take his place wasted his time like this instead of learning how to control the family business.
One day when it was close for Shiori's entrance ceremony into his new school he sat down to have dinner with his grandfather that cause a major fight between them about his 'lack of respect for the family'. This was a serious stab to him. He had done all he could to please his grandfather aside from wishing to learn his violent ways of conducting 'business' and he further refused to learn anything having to do with the yakuza at this point. He stormed off into his parent’s room rather upset and missing his parents more than ever, especially his mother. It had been a few years since the death of his parents yet the maids continued to keep it sparkling clean and as the way it was when they left. He snuck into his mother’s closet and clung to one of her dresses as began to mourn his parents again. He would have done anything to see them again and tell him what to do. The sweet scent of his mother’s perfume still lingered on her dress as the fragrance was well preserved inside her closet. It helped to soothe his spirit and he drifted off to sleep dreaming about the happiness he shared with his mother. As he awakened he decided that he could rebel against his grandfather and still be close to his mother at the same time and thus he began tailoring some of her clothing as she had done in the past to fit him and started to dress in this manner every day to annoy his grandfather to no end. It was just another way to show that he would not bend to the cruel ways of the family.
Shiori began his days in his new school much to the confusion of his fellow classmates. As they thought a boy named Shiori was weird but when he appeared in class dressed as he was everyone immediately started treating him like a girl. He continued to express the fact he was a boy to them but no one believed him and he hated conflict so he started to let them believe whatever they wished of him. It didn't change who he was even if he did sort of like the attention he was still much too shy to act upon it.
As Shiori grew through junior high and excelled further in his training as well as his dancing he became more and more confident that he would definitely be the strong leader his family needed while kind and gentle as well. Wearing his mother’s clothing definitely helped his moral as he always felt he was within her warm embrace giving him the strength to preserver no matter what. After his junior graduation ceremony he was invited to go out to dinner with his grandparents to celebrate his accomplishment. He was very reluctant as he was not use to His grandfather ever inviting him to anything and it made him very uncomfortable. Yet his grandmother was so adamant about it he accepted and went along for the ride. It was during their meal that his grandmother urged his grandfather to talk about his true heritage and to stop trying to force a lifestyle on the young boy he so earnestly denied. With much angered whispering between the two he finally decided he should know about his parents and what really happened. He explained to Shiori about how his parents where a pair of partners called a meister and a weapon. They continued on to explain what that meant and what sort of duties they had to uphold in secret he was too young to understand at the time. What the creature was that killed them was what was known as a kishin. It’s what they themselves use to hunt in their youth as meisters themselves. They knew the Yakuza lifestyle itself was dangerous but at least as the heir to the name he would never have to fight himself. This helped Shiori understand a little more about why his grandfather was so determined to keep him sheltered. Of course now knowing this he was hell-bent on finding out more about what it meant to be a meister and would find the kishin that killed his parents. He didn’t have to speak for them to understand what was on his mind and they began to tell him about the DWMA and how they would most certainly help him with his goals should he choose to follow in his parents footsteps. He spent the next few days preparing for his trip to the DWMA and planned to use this as a chance to become stronger to avenge his parents and gain the power to end the fighting between families upon fulfilling his obligations to the academy.
Hobbies: Shiori doesn’t have very many hobbies and the ones he does happen to participate in are mostly unusual for a young male. His hobbies often include cooking, tailoring, dancing, wearing female clothing, among other obscure things. However, his cooking is probably his best talent. It’s probably one of his mother’s qualities but she could always make the best meals from the simplest of ingredients.
Personality: Shiori from a young age was a rather gentle natured child compared to his cold hearted father. His father was very loving toward him but he was a crime lord first and foremost and a father second thus warranting him to spend a majority of his time in his mother's company. She was very kind as well being a complete opposite of his father. He was very fond of her developing her personality as he was already quite shy.
As Shiori grew up and began to fully understand things for what they were he learned that the activities his family engaged in were wrong. He has a very justified manner of thinking and doesn't believe that things should be done under handedly without good reason. Sometimes being shady was beneficial to one’s own self perseverance but there are limits to it. He would gladly stalk around unseen to observe injustice and strike when necessary to prevent greater evil.
The cruelty of the world is what inspired him to take up dance. To him dancing is a way to express one’s self and it brings people closer together. To look beautiful, to act beautiful and to dance beautifully are the keys to a harmonious spirit. Thus why he is quite vain despite his shy personality. Perhaps it is one of his father's worst qualities that passed through to him. As being the most beautiful person of any gender can become quite bothersome to those who are constantly in his presence.
As much as he admires his physical appearance being watched or stared at makes him quite uncomfortable. He hates massive social gathering or large crowds because his unusual hair will always draw attention to himself. He much rather prefers to keep to himself in a small quiet location.
Likes: He values the expression of dance. Dancing was a release from your troubles and allowed you to be free. He believes strongly that everything in the universe has rhythm. Everything dances. Dancing brings peace and harmony to one’s self and to others around them. Stories have been told about how watching someone dancing could revitalize ones spirit and push them to continue through hardships. This is something he holds dearest. He also likes to sit alone in nice quiet locations because he can sit and be out of everyone’s way where he won’t be bothersome to people. He has a sweet tooth which he has to strongly fight off because he’s worried if he indulges himself to his desires he will lose his figure. He does enjoy being able to travel as he’s never gotten to really enjoy it before being confined to a certain area all his life. He does however enjoy being with small groups of friends for controlled social meetings despite how shy he may be he does enjoy the friendly atmosphere.
Hates & fears: Shiori dislikes being in large crowds for social gatherings or parties. His family was rather large and he always felt so out of place in the living world that he feels it’s best to keep to himself. He hates senseless killing, unusually violent people, or anyone who would bully a smaller or weaker person than themselves. One thing he really hates is being the only one left out of a loop of information. It makes people seem shady and assume they're making fun of him. His biggest fear is disappointing someone he cares deeply for or having lots of people dislike him. His most peculiar fear is he is deathly afraid of horses for some reason or another. Then again with his timid personality theres no telling what all really does scare him.
Orientation & Lover:Unknown even to himself as his conflicting nature make him gravitate toward not the gender but the person who is most kindest to him. He is single simply because he is far too awkward and naïve to understand advances.
