Haha oh jeez this is so late it isn't even funny?
But anyway this is Mako, her whole deal is that she's the daughter of Death.
Basically she's always carrying this big as heck cloth rapped Thing on her back and no one really knows why, but since not telling you defeats the purpose of a bio I'll tell you! Wrapped within the many layers of cloth is an old sword most commonly called the Midnight Blade, similar in style to a katana. As the daughter of Death it is by rights her inheritance. However Mako has not always been the most responsible or capable daughter to Death himself and her father has deemed her "unworthy" to wield this blade. Naturally rebellious, Mako refused to be denied what is rightfully hers, so she stole the blade and escaped Death's domain.
The thing is though, the Midnight Blade is truly an unbelievably powerful weapon and her father didn't deem her unworthy of wielding it without good reason. You see Mako can't even wield the blade with out it's cloth wrappings, which magically seal and contain it's power. At best she can release the outermost wrappings and use the sword with only the blade covered, but even that is dangerous and on the verge of being beyond her abilities. Mako is determined though, and has sworn to master this sword, in spite of what her father has said. This is why she stole it and fled, because she needed to prove to Death, and to herself, that she was capable of using this sword to its fullest power.
So since she can't really use the sword itself all that well, she gets a little creative with her combat. The cloths that seal the swords power are of course enchanted and as the inheritor of the sword she can control them at will. She will often pull off strips of cloth to defend from and deflect attacks (they're magic, so y'know, pretty strong/durable). She'll even use them offensively, and will also swing around her sword "sheath" to knock the crap out of enemies.
So to 'wrap up' (get it?? haha... sorry it's late) Mako is a fairly cynical and rebellious young women, but she also has a strong and honest determination in her to accomplish something. And now without anywhere else to go she's now taking refuge in the only place she can find, Void City, hoping to remain hidden from her father, if that's even possible.
