Biography
Maka Albarn (Japanese: マカ=アルバーン, Hepburn: Maka Arubān) was the daughter of Spirit Albarn, when he was only eighteen, and his partner, Maka Albarn grew up around her parents. Presumably, she maintained a healthy relationship with both of her parents, her father often reading her books to her during her youth, an activity in which would lead to her fond of books. And she admired her mother, who was a renowned scythe-meister. Though her father and mother were close, Maka began noticing the fact that her father, a known womanizer, often hung out with other women. Coming to this realization, this drove a wedge between them. When Maka's mother eventually found out, she would file for divorce. Maka, hurt by her father betraying her mother's trust with lies and empty promises, would soon join the DWMA and enroll as a Scythe-Meister. She then vowed to create a Death Scythe and hoped for it to be more powerful then her own father, who is recognized as the most powerful Death Scythe in the world. Having already seen the student, Soul Eater at school, both Soul and Maka head into a local cafe as the weapon looks for a piano to play. As he recalled the meister's name, he asked why she wanted him as a partner, to which Maka reminded him that she was a Scythe-Meister. Soul decided that he would play the piano as a sort of 'introduction' between them.
Tsugumi Harudori, on her first day at the DWMA, struggles to climb up the stairs leading to the school building. As she struggles to go up the steps of the DWMA. However, a rogue girl effortlessly runs up the steps without hesitation or folly, and that girl is none other but Maka Albarn. With some words of inspiration for Tsugumi by telling her she's almost to the end, she then leaves. Maka ends up buying juice for the newcomer along with a written message welcoming her to the academy. Teaching the NOT class the importance of the dynamic between a Meister/Weapon, Sid Barrett calls in both Maka Albarn and her weapon, Soul Eater, to demonstrate. They're introduced as the NOT class's EAT seniors. As Maka introduces herself, she sees Tsugumi and remembers her, much to Tsugumi's pleasure. She then pointed out that Tsugumi's current uniform is what she use to wear. She reveals that the DWMA has a plethora of uniforms that one can mismatch or just simply wear their normal clothes to school. When she asks if Tsugumi had trouble picking, Tsugumi comments that she settled for her current uniform because it helps obscure her figure. As she calls Tsugumi a comrade, Sid chops Maka with a Sid Chop, telling her to stop wasting the underclassmen's time. As she readies for a demonstration, Tsugumi introduces herself to Maka for the first time and reveals to her that she tied her hair in a pigtails because of her and promptly apologizes. Maka replies that it looks cute. Having the demonstration begin, Maka prompts her partner to transform, showcasing her excellent skills as Sid explains the very importance of how a Meister/Weapoon should work. After showcasing their skill, the class claps in awe of their skill.
Having attended the Death Bazaar with intention of selling her books, she argues with her partner, Soul, due to giving customers the stink eye, though she argues that's how she normally looks. However, Soul reminds her that they need to clean their apartment and she needs to sell her books. When a man approaches, interested in the price of a book, is scared away by Maka's intimidating look. As Tsugumi appears and browses through the books, she picks out the Brave book. When Maka remarks she read it when she first attended the academy and asks If she like reading and Tsugumi lies and says yes. She lets Tsugumi have the book and has her promise to read the book. Though she finally sells her book, her partner sarcastically remarks "one down, a billion to go", much to her annoyance. As Eternal Feather, under the hypnosis and control of Shaula Gorgon, nearly kills Anya Hepburn, Maka intervenes, telling her that her bag in which she uses to defend will split in half from Eternal Feather's blade and advises her to push her bag to the side. Meme saves Anya and Maka confronts Eternal Feather. She questions her actions as well as questioning if she's a student at the DWMA. As Eternal Feather swipes her blade at Maka, her partner intervenes, stating not to touch his meister. She questions Tsugumi and her friends as to whether they know the individual, to which Tsugumi reveals she's a senior within the NOT class. When Tsugumi tries to appeal to Eternal Feather, Maka surmises that she can't hear Tsugumi.
