Mako
Mako is a human shark CREATURE who seemed to just start showing up one day, She is headstrong and assertive, though she is incapable of backing up any of the claims she makes and will crumble easily given any pressure (shes 5'4 just pick her up by the scruff of her neck lmao)
The hat that she wears is sentient and can read her thoughts, much to her annoyance. The two tolerate eachother, but will argue like a pair of siblings about LITERALLY anything, with Mako usually only winning due to her deciding where they walk, and the hat being a literal hat. (the hats an ass too makos just the one in control here)
She is very childish and carefree, because of this, she is unable to take things seriously (she gets really annoyed if you call her immature)
Mako doesn't have a residence and often just crashes (uninvited) at her friends' houses, she is constantly between jobs and always shows up in the most random locations (think like,, majima everywhere a la yakuza kiwami, shes like that, youll be walking down the street and BOOM she's there)
She is very expressive, and doesn't try and mask her emotions, she is very vocal of her thoughts (if the hat doesnt announce them first)
Appearance
Mako is usually only ever in a captain's uniform when outside of work, otherwise she's usually wearing the uniform required by her (various) job(s).
She wears a blue captain's coat with a silver trim (she's patched up the various holes on it that she's accumulated over time) a white shirt with golden buttons underneath, navy pants, and black boots.
She also wears the aforementioned hat, begrudgingly at times.
She has mildly tanned skin, thick eyelashes and deep blue eyes.
She has LOTS of hair which she dyes white most of the time, it's actually naturally ginger.
Despite looking like one, Mako isn't a human... more like a shark-hybrid thing.
She can be very teasing at times, but doesn't know how to handle being teased herself.
Mako is VERY mischevious, sometimes inciting drama just for some quick entertainment.
She never actually gave a name to the hat... or thought to ever just take it off.
She has very sharp teeth, they're able to bite through some metals.
Mako can't swim, ironically, but she CAN hold her breath for a freakishly long time, which she uses to mess with people.
Mako has no clue about the different kinds of water, and just assumes its all the same, which has lead to her drinking salt water on many occasions.
ive had mako the longest out of all my ocs :sob: october 13th 2022 was when i came up with her... i feel like ive written myself into her a bunch too over that time so i guess shes my self insert? i use her to represent myself online (outside of splatoon) and allat too, she just like me fr

Interactions
General
She'd be teasing people a ton, especially if she knows them
She takes advantage of being short to jump on people like a flying squirrel
Friendly
She's technically homeless so expect her to crash at your house unannounced, and for food to mysteriously vanish from your fridge...
Relationships
The HAT
I've already said this but they argue like siblings, there's always beef but the hat's gotta just suck it up cause Mako could just throw it into the water at any moment LMAO
she's never actually thought to name it either.. so she just refers to it as "Hat"
