Maki Oze

is a Second Generation Fire Officer at the 8th Special Fire Brigade of Tokyo.

Appearance
Maki is a young girl of average height with long, straight dark hair. Her bangs hang just above her eyes. She is seen wearing bunker gear, which consists of a black, sleeveless top and long dark pants, buckled at the waist with a belt, which presses the middle part that's strapped to her shoulders. The pants are also topped by a protective outer jacket and trousers.

Personality
Despite Maki's cool and attractive exterior, she was noted to be a hopeless romantic inside. This was proven when she asked Iris, with whom she has a sisterly relationship, how it felt back when Shinra carried her, like a bride, saving her from danger in the process. Maki is also very courteous to her fellow comrades and even to people she meets for the first time; respecting Takehisa a lot, due to him being the Company Commander of the brigade. Though a kind-hearted person, she also has the exterior of a capable fighter, easily defeating both Shinra and Arthur who are both Third Generations without hesitation in a fight. She also showed to have a liking of using her abilities for fun, as she enjoys creating sentient creatures and giving them names, like.

Plot
Maki, alongside the rest of the 8th Special Fire Brigade, arrives to save the train station from a Flame Human, where she helps Akitaru to face the threat by putting out a fireball, launched by the enemy. Later, at the 8th Special Fire Fighting Church, she takes a shower with Iris, where she asks how was it when Shinra carried the girl like a bride. In the meeting room, she is present when Akitaru delivers a speech about the Human Body Ignition Phenomenon. Later that night, Maki notifies Shinra about an incident in a factory and tells him to get ready, taking him to the brigade's Special Armored Fire Engine. When the brigade arrives, Maki manipulates the flames out of the team's way. She later helps Akitaru fight the threat, by keeping the flames from burning him. After the mission, she was happy to see Shinra with an happy smile.

On the roof, Maki displays her abilities to Iris by creating a sentient fireball, but their conversation is cut short when a fight between Arthur and Shinra breaks out. The former unsheathes his bladeless sword, which makes Maki question his choice of weapon, but her attention is diverted when Arthur calls her a "princess". When Takehisa arrives to see what's behind all the ruckus, he extinguishes Maki's fireball, making her upset. Takehisa then orders the girl to fight both Shinra and Arthur. Maki uses her abilities to put out the flames on Shinra's feet, easily defeating him, however, she fails to do so with Arthur's Excalibur. She resorts to using her combat skills and inflicts some damage to the boy, which forces him to insult Maki, upsetting her enough to make the girl create a huge fireball out of the flames of both Arthur's sword and Shinra's feet. After the battle, much to the girl's horror, Takehisa uses a fire extinguisher to put out her fireball creature.
