Mako is one of the four primary routes you can choose to go with. This route opens up around the time you go fishing with your cousin, Lena, and Yashino. While your cousin shows Lena and Yashino how to fish you can then head into the forest where you will then run into Mako as she collects different types of plants to use in cooking. This then starts you down the route with Mako and unlocks her ending.
Mako is the one true friend of Yashino and also acts as her bodyguard of sorts. She is trained to be a ninja as is all her family. Her background is that her family was the ninja that protected Yashino's family during the era of the shogun and the warring states period. Her family however at one time was viewed with great suspicion and with great misgiving due to their involvement with the eldest son of the feudal lord that would later create the curse that plagued the decedents of his younger brother.
Mako is a very interesting interpersonal person. She views her life as a simple tool for Yashino to use as she sees fit. To that end, she relegates every moment she can in taking care of and watching over Yashino and her father. She acts like a robot and doesn't seem to have any self-related interests. She does read manga in her off time when she gets it. However, after she is given some time off to take for herself, she makes it known she doesn't have a life outside of taking care of Yashino.
As you go down her route the story shifts slightly from Yashino being the key person to ending the curse and it shifts to Mako and her struggle between the past of her ancestors as vessels and ninja of the former lord, and her current state and affairs dealing with her friendships, and eventually her love life with the primary character. The story remains a great deal of the same, with only some dialogue actually changing, but when the relationship phase starts, you begin to see how much Mako truly has lived a life full of heartache and sadness.
