Machida

"Well, hang in there, Mr. Antisocial."

- Machida to Senpai

Machida (町田) a background character of the Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro manga series. She is a high school student and schoolmate of Senpai at Kainan Art Preparation School as well as a member of its "Triumvirate" alongside Aihara and Hashimoto.

Her first name is currently unknown.

Appearance
Machida is an attractive, average-statured high schooler with long blonde hair kept in loose, with the flanks held in twin tails. She has a light complexion and large, bright brown eyes. Machida has a lean, busty and well-proportioned physique, despite not an athletic one, and her height is slightly above shoulder-level with Senpai. She usually sports an apathic expression, but can be seen smirking when she feels at ease with someone.

She seems to prefer comfort over style, at least in her art class. There, she usually wears loose t-shirts, sweatpants and sneakers. She seems to slip her shoes off and go barefoot in her art class whenever possible.

Personality
Machida is an extremely passionate, dedicated and hard-working girl, as she's known to always be the first one coming to Kainan Art Preparation School every morning, thus her painting skills being praised by both students and teachers, with Senpai describing Machida's art as "leagues ahead of his" and "too good". Machida is not very open towards other people, as she is hesitant when Senpai approached her and is a little harsh to him at first. However, she seems flattered by his praise for her artistic skills, and afterwards seems quick to get along with him.

She is very level-headed, seems indifferent to praise, and openly dislikes the nickname "Triumvirate" given to her, Aihara and Hashimoto, preferring not to hear it. Despite this somewhat prickly exterior she kindly smiles when Senpai compliments her skills. According to Arihara, Machida is all about.

Early life
Machida was born in, , where she became a student at an unknown high school, developing an interest for art and eventually joining the courses of Kainan Art Preparation School for at least a couple of years, becoming one of the top students, and getting the nickname of "Kainan Arts Oil Painting Triumvirate" alongside Aihara and Hashimoto.

Meeting Senpai
Somewhat in August before Kainan's mock exam, she gained once again the first place in the cram school's evauation; later, she discussed about the course's newcomer, Senpai, calling him an amateur for joining it so late in his school career. The following day, wanting to step out of his confort zone, Senpai approached Machida asking her to sit behind her and to show him how she did due to really like her painting style. At first hesitant, the girl than gladly accepted and, by the end of the day, Senpai made friends with the "Triumvirate" and walk home with them. However, seeing the four - especially Machida pacing an hand on the boy's shoulder -, Nagatoro gets jealous and steps, in thanking them for looking after him, right before being introduced to them as his. As the pair walk away Aihara and Hashimoto comment on Nagatoro being Senpai's girlfriend, while Machida remarks that there is more to Hachiouji than meets the eye.
