When it comes to the clothing Maki usually chooses to wear modest things such as your basic t-shirt and jeans combo. That is when she is out in the public with nothing else to do. For the most part she wears pants suits or the skirt variety because it is a way of showing respect for herself and the organization and she must keep up appearances as a lawyer in her civilian life.

Personality:
To say that Maki Matsumoto is damaged is an understatement. From an early age she never felt like she was accepted since her parents never made the time for her so she lived somewhat of a lonely existence. But when the Yakuza took her away from her home and turned her into a slave, she wished for the lonely times she once had. During the three years that she was with the Yakuza, Maki was forced to do terrible things and even more terrible things were done to her. All of the beatings, all of the torture did nothing but bring her closer and closer to the brink of insanity. It is part of the reason that she is able to not feel an ounce of remorse for the things that she do to this day. Maki will kill a person no matter their age without hesitation. She is a cold and calculating woman that does not put up with anyone’s crap.

But one would never know about her past or her current life just by hanging around her. Maki is very good at keeping her emotions in check, keeping all of the rage inside until it is time to let loose. She finds it easy to put on a façade of happiness to fool others. She is something of an actress in a way since her public life is the farthest away form her secret identity. Maki has never worn her emotions on her sleeve and never will. She has grown too accustomed to keeping them away from people. This makes her a very cunning individual since no one ever knows what she is truly thinking.

"All it takes is one bad day to reduce
the sanest man alive to lunacy,"

History:
Maki Matsumoto was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan though raised is a very loose term. From a young age, Maki’s life was hell. Her parents were barely around when she needed them to be. She was mostly on her own because they were always too busy with their jobs. It was clear that she came second or even third in their eyes, one of the reasons she was so easily snatched off the streets. It happened one day at the age of thirteen while she and a few friends were hanging out at a local park. Right in broad daylight, Maki and her friends were kidnapped by men working for the Yakuza. What happened next to them was a fate worse than death; the young girls were sold into a life of slavery to be used anyway that perverted men saw fit. For three years Maki was put through the worst kind of hell, used and tortured, tossed aside for the next costumer. Her time as a piece of meat changed her. The girl’s mind became broken. She was nothing but a shell of the person she once was.

Just when she considered ending her life, fate intervened in the form of the assassin known as Bullseye. On an unrelated errand, the assassin broke into the warehouse where Maki and other sex slaves were being held and slaughtered the men present. To this day she will never forget the level skill he possessed and the carnage left behind. While she watched him at work, Maki found herself excited, renewed even. For the first time in three years, the girl felt joy. The way he cut through them was like watching poetry in motion. So much blood and death was just the spark that she needed. When one of the guards fell dead next to her cage she took the keys off of him to free herself. As she made her escape one of the men tried to force her back into the cage, but she would have none of that. She took the keys in her hand and slit his throat without a moment’s hesitation. It was from that moment forward that she vowed another man would never lay hands on her again without permission.

Maki sought out training from the best that she could find which turned out to be one Master Izo. Within a matter of years she had become a deadly combatant, so much so that she got the attention of Lord Hirochi, the commander of the secret organization the Hand. The Hand was caught in the middle of civil war and she was employed as an outsider to ensure that the group would not tear itself apart ruining his plans. Maki was then sent to New York on her first task. Now working under the title of Lady Bullseye to honor the man that changed her life, Maki sought out several skilled martial artists in the state, and with the help of Hand ninjas, put them to the test. Because Lord Hirochi was afraid of Matt Murdock’s inevitable intervention, Maki took the initiative by killing two thugs while leaving the third alive so that he could report to the press that it was Daredevil that murdered his friends. Soon enough the two of them squared off on the rooftops of New York as a way of saying hello. Before the fight could come to a proper conclusion, Maki fled to take care of other pressing matters.

As it turned out, Maki was only working under the illusion that she was serving Lord Hirochi. When her associate Hiro found out about the deception, he confronted her, but one of the biggest and last mistakes of his life: he put hands on her. Maki easily took his sword away from him and slit his throat with it. Some time later, the Hand moved its operations to Spain where Maki came face to face with The Kingpin after killing the family that he had come to love during his time there. She blamed Daredevil for her doing in hopes that the two of them would go to war with each other. When the villain known as the Owl entered the picture, Maki and the Hand under his employment began killing off mobsters around New York, but eventually she found out that the Owl had been working for Fisk all along. Later on Fisk was brought to one of the Hand’s bases and offered leadership of the organization. Before that could happen Daredevil crashed the party and immediately went after Maki.

She did not have any time to prepare herself for the assault that followed, so she was quickly defeated. When Daredevil took leadership of the Hand, he made sure that Maki was cast out for the inability to trust her. Ever since first joining up with the Hand, it was her intentions to rule the organization, but as it turned out the man that trained her had only been using her to meet his goals. After that, Maki began to work for the Kingpin as his right hand lieutenant. When the merger of the worlds happen, she saw it as an opportunity to expand, to take hold of new conquests. She is still in employment with Kingpin, but she has her own agenda once again.

"Next time guys, we should just
rebuild this place outta Lego."

Writing Sample:

Warren Jones was the CEO of Fax Industries, but what the public did not know was that he was one of the biggest players in the world of organized crime. Lately with this merger of worlds he has been making some moves to expand on his criminal empire and that just cannot be allowed. For awhile now Jones has been a thorn in the side of Fisk, so something needed to be done to keep that thorn from growing sharper. That was why Maki Matsumoto was currently traversing the corridors of Fax Industries. It was an hour past closing time so few people were still present in the building. That made it much easier for her to move around unnoticed. She careful to stay away from all cameras stationed throughout the facility. As a security guard rounded the corner, she sprang from her dark corner and wrapped her arms around his head. In one quick motion she snapped the man’s neck. His body was dragged away to stash in a place out of sight.

Jones was seated in his office staring over a bunch of files on his desk, the kind of files that no one in the company should ever know about. The room was filled the stench of the cigar hanging from his thin lips. He paused to take a moment for a sip of the expensive bourbon that rested in the glass before him. All the while he was unaware of the figure dropping down from the ceiling behind him. Before he realized it, there was a blade at his throat. Jones nearly choked on the excessive amount of smoke he inhaled with the gasp of fear. Maki leaned forward and calmly stated, “Fisk sends his regards.” The assassin drew the blade along his throat opening it wide. A fountain of blood sprayed from the gaping wound. She used the sleeve of his shirt to wipe the blood from her blade before sheathing it. Maki tapped the communicator in her ear. “It’s done. Understood.”

She grabbed the bottle of bourbon and then dumped a good amount of it over the papers. She took the dropped cigar, smirked, and tossed it over the alcohol and watched as the flames were born. By the time the fire alarm came on and the guards burst through the door, she was already gone. Thus was the life of an assassin.
