"They say she possesses superhuman strength, and got thrown out of her old school for fighting."
--Umino; Volume 1 Act 5

Whispers circle around the school; cruel words spreading around campus like wildfire. Rumors and gossip keep them away from her. None of them knows the real Kino Makoto, the girl underneath.

Makoto possesses a multi-faceted uniqueness. She has the power to crush anything standing in her path. With a strength that is almost superhuman she can easily rid an area of those who would oppose her. However, in contrast to picture others portray, Makoto most often chooses not to use this strange power, and although she is able to rid her life of foes, she cannot rid the lies they spread about her.

Makoto is a very strong character, and not just in the physical sense. From the beginning Makoto has had to learn to fend for herself. Both of Makoto's parents died in a plane crash when she was very young, leaving her alone without even a relative to care for her. She has also had to live through one of the most shattering events a girl could come upon: heartbreak. It is evident that both occurances have affected her deeply. Each time she hears a plane fly past, she cannot help but run for cover. After her senpai left her, she still saw his reflection in almost every boy passing by. Despite these tragedies, she has remained strong.

Makoto is very independent and likes to take charge, though she is never bossy. Makoto is also very perceptive and can often see things, like approaching danger, that others cannot sense. She is the one who first insists that the mysterious Endou is a pawn of Metaria in Volume 2, Act 10 and that the Black Moon might be seeking Chibi Usa in Volume 4, Act 16 of the manga. She is quick to react to these situations, which is often times her downfall. Makoto is the type of girl who fights from her heart instead of her head (like Ami is known to do).

sweet, lovable Mako-chanBut Makoto is not just a tough, kick-butt kind of girl. She has an inner side that is too often overlooked. Anyone in need would soon find himself in the care of Kino Makoto. In Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon S Volume 2, Makoto says that the one thing she wants to do is to make enough food for everyone, so that no one would be unhappy. And not everyone will risk his life by darting out in front of a speeding car or facing a group of thugs to save a perfect stranger. That kind of spirit is hard to come by in an average girl of fourteen. She is also very faithful. Never has she been known to back down from her word. In S episode 147, Makoto waits all night for Tiger Eye to return as he has promised, even though, after hours, he never does.

As the trees are faithful and strong, so is she. Like the lightning she wields, Makoto is quick-witted and tough. Like the god Jupiter, she is just. And like a blossoming rose, she is sweet and beautiful.
