In all honesty, I feel like Makoto is the unofficial heroine of the series. Before you laugh me out of the discussion for saying that, let me explain. Makoto's actions are rather important to the overarching story, whether it's stopping Hazama from killing Jin, stopping Tsubaki and Noel from killing each other, or protecting Tsubaki from Carl. She also gave Noel the inspiration she needed to even continue on her chosen path. She may not be a main character, but she's one of the major players in my book, as her actions have directly foiled several integral points of Hazama's and Relius's schemes.
