Description
Ine Makigami is a character from the anime Air Gear: Kuro no Hane to Nemuri no Mori -Break on the Sky-. She is recognized as the first Pledge Queen of both the organization Tool Toul To and the original Sleeping Forest team. In addition to her role in the world of Air Trek, she is a medical professional who operates her own hospital. Her appearance is notable for her distinct hairstyle, which is styled in a swirl resembling a conch shell, corresponding to the meaning of her name. She has a tall and curvaceous figure and is typically seen wearing a revealing nurse's uniform with high heels.
In terms of personality and history, Ine is a figure who values her personal connections highly. When the original Sleeping Forest fractured into two opposing factions, she chose to remain neutral, as she considered members on both sides to be her friends. This decision to stay out of the conflict later became a core directive for Tool Toul To, contributing to the stability of the Air Trek world for a significant period.
Her motivations are deeply tied to her past. She served as the personal tuner for Spitfire during their days in the original Sleeping Forest. Although the Gravity Children do not technically require tuners, as their Regalia were made specifically for them, Ine and Spitfire shared a very close relationship, with hints suggesting it may have been romantic before his death.
Within the story, Ine plays a crucial supporting role. She is a knowledgeable mentor who taught the members of Tool Toul To the art of tuning Air Trecks. She eventually passes down her title of Pledge Queen to Kururu Sumeragi, personally tutoring her successor to take on the role of Ikki’s tuner. Ine demonstrates her practical influence when the main characters visit the hospital after an attack on Sora and Rika. Under the pretext of treating the damage Ikki sustained to his knee while attempting the Devil's 33, she keeps him at the hospital. In reality, this is a strategic move to allow Ikki to train safely with Sora, away from the watchful eyes of other members of Sleeping Forest. This action shows her willingness to subtly guide events and break the longstanding neutrality of Tool Toul To to help the rising team, Kogarasumaru.
As the former Pledge Queen of the Ring Road, Ine is an A-class tuner and an expert on Air Treck technology. Her primary ability is accessing the Infinite Scale, a power that allows her to repair, modify, or tune any Air Trecks in a matter of seconds. This ability has two distinct applications: Construction, which focuses on repairing and modifying A-T technology, and Destruction, which allows her to detune or destroy such equipment. While her expertise lies in tuning, it is implied she was also a skilled rider who participated in matches with the original Sleeping Forest.
