A long glove. It is black in colour except for one small orange spot on the back of the hand in the form of a lozenge. When Machiko transforms the glove becomes metallic and the lozenge glow with a bright orange light which seems to be directly linked to Machiko's other Magical Girl's equipment.

Machiko's weapons used to be feather-like blade floating around her, pushing back the tide of darkness with cold and deadly precision. Now corrupted, her graceful blades turned to Heavy Lance and Shield. Focusing far more on raw power, even her shield stand as an antithesis to her new nature.

Machiko used to prefer few, precise strikes to deal with her enemies; no more. Using her shield for defense while her Lance charges it's power, Machiko specializes in closing the gap with devastating charges that more often than not end up with earth shattering blunt force.  

The shield is floating, and controlled through Machiko's gauntlet. It can absorb any physical impacts, which includes things like the blast force of an explosion, to empower her Lance attacks.

At first view, Machiko was a normal child living a normal life with a normal family. At school, she was mostly like other girls her age if not only slightly more reserved than most. Growing up, she acted like people asked her to act mostly because it was what was expected of her, but something was missing inside. Going from therapist to therapist, no one could really find a reason for her apparent 'indifference' to, well, everything. Her grades began to drop and her social circle became ever smaller. 

She struggled with understanding the expectations of society or finding a reason and the will to 'see it through' feeling as if most of the things she did was wasted time, in the end. She did not look forward to anything, nor could she bring herself to - which she did try. 

One thing did keep her looking forward, however: her father. He was always at work and constantly tired, but he always managed to find time for his daughter. Bringing her gifts, teaching her how to draw and play music on his spare time. If he could be this strong, then she too could keep a straight face and give it her all. It was during that time that a Mascot had visited her and Machiko became a Magical Girl. Fighting off Nightmares was like fighting off her dark thoughts and the apathy that besieged her. 

She did this until the day Machiko's father had commit suicide. She never was told the reason, and never sought it out neither. He had been her guiding light, and that light died off in her with him. From that day onward, her apathy turned to full blown existential nihilism, seeing life as insignificant and denied of sense or purpose. 

Armed with sick and twisted logic that amuses her, she now live only in order to seek what she think is impossible to find: a meaningful death.

A Cellphone. A drawing pad and her father's pen.
