Maki Oze, 19 years old and 167 cm tall, serves in Special Fire Force Company 8. She possesses an athletic, muscular build, long dark hair, and distinctive violet eyes. Born into the prominent Oze military family, her father General Danrou Oze leads Tokyo Imperial Army Integrated Security Operations. Her mother Madoka Oze served in the same branch, and her brother Takigi Oze is a First Lieutenant in Criminal Investigations. Defying family expectations for a non-combat role, Maki left the Tokyo Army after serving as a Private under Sergeant Takehisa Hinawa. She joined Company 8 driven by a desire to save lives rather than fight people, a decision causing friction, particularly with her father and brother. Maki balances a calm, professional demeanor on duty with a deeply romantic and whimsical inner self. She is courteous to teammates and strangers but harbors insecurities about her physique, often mishearing teasing as insults like "gorilla cyclops" and reacting aggressively. She respects Lieutenant Hinawa due to their shared military background and shows deference to authority figures like Captain Akitaru Ōbi. Off-duty, she enjoys creating sentient fire creatures for fun, favors pop music, pastel colors, strawberries, flan, and chicken breast, disliking ocean-smelling foods like sea urchin. Her hobbies include stargazing during sit-ups, fortune-telling, and sewing, and she aspires to become a bride. A Second Generation pyrokinetic, Maki manipulates existing flames, extinguishing, absorbing, or redirecting fire across vast distances, even deflecting attacks from multiple Third Generation users. She creates controllable fire constructs named "Sputter" and "Flare," merging them into techniques like "Sputter Comet☆" or "Stutter-Flare-Witch Combo." Her combat skills integrate hand-to-hand proficiency from intensive military training, enabling her to disarm armed opponents and defeat powerful adversaries like Shinra Kusakabe and Arthur Boyle effortlessly. After Adolla's convergence, her power escalates to contain city-destroying explosions and manipulate flames extending into the upper atmosphere. Vulcan Joseph later enhances her capabilities by designing "Iron Owls"—paired floating weapons powered by her fire spirits. These function as projectile weapons or shields but remain vulnerable to electronic interference. Maki employs them tactically, coordinating close-range assaults with long-range Owl strikes. Her narrative begins with Company 8's formation, combating Infernals and mentoring newer members like Shinra. Key moments include defeating Shinra and Arthur in training by neutralizing their flames and incapacitating Arthur with a knee strike, rescuing civilians during the courthouse Infernal incident, and confronting Company 5 members. She participates in critical missions like the Netherworld infiltration, where her fear of darkness surfaced when separated from allies. During the White Clad conflict, her abilities prove vital in containing catastrophic explosions, and her emotional resolve hardens when protecting comrades, exemplified by her ruthless elimination of Flail's subordinates. Her development involves reconciling her compassionate nature with battlefield lethality and gradually accepting her physique after receiving compliments about her beauty from peers like Iris and Hibana.
