Makio

Makio (まきを) is a kunoichi and one of Tengen Uzui's wives.

Appearance
Makio is a woman with pale skin and large eyes. She has black hair tied up with yellow-brown bangs hanging loosely, framing her face.

Makio is seen wearing a short, sleeveless striped dress that reveals her cleavage tied with a black obi. She has bandages wrapped around her calves and up to her thighs, with an array of various scars across her body.

Personality
Makio has a headstrong personality similar to Inosuke Hashibira and is bold and confident in the way she acts. Out of her two co-wives, Makio tends to have less patience with Suma. When the women fought the obi in the underground cavern, Makio can be seen berating her for being condescending acting somewhat irritated. Later on when the three wives reunite, Makio can also be seen slapping Suma as well as call her an idiot after she says insensitive remarks about Hinatsuru dying.

However Makio does tend to have a soft side as she begins to worry over Tengen's declining health following their major battle, and clings onto him relieved after Nezuko heals him.

History
At some point of her life, Makio married Tengen Uzui, along with Suma and Hinatsuru. After she left the clan, her family journeyed to see Kagaya Ubuyashiki in order to fight as a part of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Entertainment District Arc
Makio initially arrives at the district to work undercover as a courtesan at the Ogimoto House, she tries to gather intel on reports of a Demon within the district and sends back information to Tengen via crow. However one day, Makio gets captured by Daki's obi and is promptly interrogated over who she's sending the letters to. Refusing to rat out the mission, Makio is then kidnapped by the obi and gets stored within its underground bunker.

Later on when Inosuke discovers the bunker, he cuts the obi freeing both Makio and Suma from within it and the two women assist him in protecting the girls from getting reabsorbed by the obi. After they reunite with Tengen in the cavern, Makio and Suma are freed and lead the evacuation of the citizens within the district.

Once Makio and Suma succeed in evacuating the citizens, they return towards the end of the battle and discover the aftermath. Makio alongside her co-wives hurry to provide first aid to Tengen, but discover their antidotes aren't working to cure Gyutaro's poison.
