Saori Makishima

Saori Makishima (槇島 沙織, Makishima Saori) is an avid fan of the otaku culture and is the moderator of "Otaku Girls Unite!", an online community centered around anime fans, as Saori Bajeena. Saori is a tall teenage girl usually depicted wearing thick glasses, denim pants and a green long-sleeved plaid polo shirt. She also wears a yellow bandanna on her head and usually sports her long hair in two ponytails. When she takes off her glasses, she is noted to be a beautiful woman who fits her rich position. She possesses an alternate personality which emerges whenever she communicates through the Internet; Kyousuke notices this when he talked to her through a messaging service once and comments that she speaks (or types, rather) in a refined manner. However, when she talks to people over the phone or personally, she is more cheery and uses the copula "-de gozaru" to end her sentences. Also, her choice of honorifics are distinct between her two personalities; she usually uses "-sama" to refer to familiar persons online, and "-shi" elsewhere. Saori appears to be calm and collected at all times, even when relatively unfamiliar people insult her hobby. She is also seen to cherish the bonds she makes with close friends, to the point that she got mad (a rare occasion for someone like her) at Kirino for leaving without telling her friends about her decision. She dislikes her sister Kaori greatly due to a misunderstanding in the past; mainly the dissolving of 'Secret Garden' and abandoning her. As such, she was determined to form her own group 'Otaku Girls Unite' under encouragement from Kanata, who passed on her trademark round glasses to her. She then created the outgoing personality Saori Bajeena to mask her usual shy self and created a forum to gather members for her group- all in all to show Kaori that she too, can stand on her own and not need a sister like her. Saori appears in the anime to be rich to a certain extent, living in an extremely fancy and luxurious accommodation, eating classy food and dressing fancily, as well as having her own butler. Like her sister, they both have a lot of money that are usually spent on their otaku hobby and their other interests.
