Maki Harukawa (春川 魔姫 Harukawa Maki) is a character featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and a participant of the New Killing School Life. Maki appears to have a very serious personality, as she doesn't really seem to smile much if at all. The only notable exception is the poster which shows her with a mysterious smile, having a finger over her lips, which is a sign of secrecy.
Despite her cute appearance, Maki is described as a hostile misanthrope of few words. She is very aware that she comes across as unfriendly and prefers to be alone. In general, she dislikes people and thus she is not very cooperative, and can be stubborn. She talks very little, so when she does, she states things clearly and she appears to be very confident about her arguments. She also has a sharp tongue, and sometimes talks in a cold sarcastic manner. While not the type to assertively act on her own, she is stated to have guts and willing to take action when it suits her.
Despite her distant and unfriendly personality, Maki is good at taking care of others. She is very popular among children, even though she dislikes them. According to Kaede Akamatsu, Maki is actually capable of deep love, something that children might be able to see, explaining their attachment to her. She also shows a more caring side when she accepts gifts and is invited by Kaede to spend time together.
Maki survived the final execution along with fellow survivors Shuichi Saihara and Himiko Yumeno by hiding under some rubble. She is the first to come out of the rubble and take in her surroundings, Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles had been completely obliterated by Keebo. The remaining survivors wondered what would become of the fictional world now, but none of them had an idea of what to do now that everything was over. Maki questioned at first why they were still alive, but Himiko and Shuichi both stated that it must have been the outside world's will that let them survive. Despite not really knowing what is truth and what is lie however, Maki along with her two remaining survivors resolve themselves to go out into the outside world and see the truth for themselves, and that if a lie had changed the world, then the story would not end.

With Hydaelyn's blessings, Kaede was revived through the Guardian Tree and is also enlisted as a retainer. Kaede has been assigned to Ishgard, Shuichi to Limsa and Himiko to Gridania. Maki's chocobo companion is named Ren and Maki refers to Kahori as "onee-sama" despite being slightly taller and tomboyish.
