Risa Maki

Risa Maki (真木 理佐) is the Operator of Fuyushima Unit.

Appearance
Maki's thick ebony hair is styled in a bowlcut, her bangs swept briskly to the side to reveal thin, angled eyebrows. Occasionally she can be seen tucking those strands behind the ear. She wears the standard operator uniform consisting of a striped tie, collared shirt, and two-piece skirt/suit.

Personality
Maki exhibits a no-nonsense attitude, which can be seen by her initial reaction to the idea of judging the Expedition Selection Exams. Even other agents have cited her irascible, condescending nature as cause for avoidance when deducing possible candidates for team work. This is also reflected in her grading ethics: while she is willing to give others a fair chance, there is no hesitancy in calling them out. Despite all this, she does have the capacity to feel sympathy for others.

Background
She recruited Fuyushima, who originally joined Border as an Engineer, and formed Fuyushima Unit with him and Tōma.

Fuyushima Unit
Fuyushima regards her as 'scary.' Both address her by her family name, Maki.
