- Machida to Senpai

Machida (町田) is 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, whom later become known as the "Big Four" after Senpai join them.

Her first name is currently unknown.

Appearance
Machida is an attractive, average-statured high schooler with long blonde hair kept mostly loose, albeit the flanks are held in twin tails. Her left ear is pierced and she occasionally wear a circular earring on it. 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, or lashing out in anger due to her fiercy temper.

She seems to prefer comfort over style, as she usually wears loose t-shirts, sweatpants and sneakers as well as going 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 quickly get along with him. Also, she's fiercly competitive and her willingness to go any distance in order to achieve her goals made her quite prone to put herself in difficult situations without thinking. Machide is so dedicated to her artistic goal that, in order to pursue it, she dedicated herself completely to art, claiming to be willing to throw away everything else in her life for it.

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, and is mostly nonchalant about "Big Four"; despite this somewhat prickly exterior she kindly smiles when Senpai compliments her skills. According to Arihara, Machida is all about, also, among her friends and teachers, she's known - and feared - for having a temper and tendency to "lash out" when challenged.

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.

Due to her commitment on focusing only in her artistic career, Machida never ever had a boyfriend nor any significant relationships with the opposite sex.

Kainan's Big Four
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.

The following day, due to Senpai's improving scores and friendship with the Triumvirate, the teacher declared that from that moment on they would have been the school's "Big Four". As they shared drink to celebrate the moment, Hashimoto and Aihara asked Senpai about his girlfriend, prompting him to admit Nagatoro was not; right at that moment the girl came into the room - having been paying a visit to him - and is visibly sad to confirm his statement. Both Hashimoto and Aihara got flirty with Nagatoro, immediately causing Machida to scold them due to being close to their entrance exams, which she considered a matter of pass or fail and to whom she had thrown away everything else. Hearing this, Nagatoro is stunned, recognizing Orihara's passion in Machida, however Senpai confess that he simply can't throw everything away for it and declared his intention to beat her at their upcoming entrance exam. After hearing it, Machida lashed out in anger with Aihara and Hashimoto ineffectively trying to calm her down. Then Kainan's teachers entered the room explaining they need a new person to be the model for the rough sketch portion of the first day of mock exam, thus proposing it to Nagatoro, who glady accept. Later, as Senpai become worried the girl would have had to nude model and was reassured by the teacher that it won't be the case due to making someone underage do it being a crime, Aihara and Hashimoto deduced the pair have done it before. This ultimately caused Machida to snap proposing a bet to Senpai: the one who gain the lower score at mock exam would have posed nude for the other.
