Maki Kuwana is part of the same art cram school as Yatora Yaguchi and focuses on oil painting. She comes across as upbeat and energetic, with a quirky side, but that's really masking a deep insecurity about living up to her older sister. That comparison eats at her—she struggles with self-doubt, gets emotional easily, and genuinely can't see how her own artistic ideas actually resonate with people around her, even her sister.
Despite all that, she's genuinely warm and thoughtful. She'll share her food with people without thinking twice, and she actually cares a lot about making sure everyone around her is doing okay health-wise. It's kind of her default mode to look out for others, which is probably why people gravitate toward her despite her own hangups.
