Machi Komacine

Machi Komacine is member #3 of the Phantom Troupe. Her physical strength ranked sixth among the group. Machi is a short, young woman with a petite build. She has blue eyes and pink, messy hair that reaches the middle of her back, but she most often wears it tied up. She is one of the few Troupe members that prefers to wear traditional Japanese-style clothing, looking like a modern-day kunoichi (female ninja). Her usual outfit consists of short tights matched with a short-sleeved uwagi, an obi sash worn around her waist and an obijime tied over it, a pair of fingerless gloves with a pincushion, tabi boots or socks with zōri, and warmers that cover her lower legs. Machi is one of the coldest members of Troupe, almost never losing her cool or displaying any emotions.

However, according to Shalnark, she is a good person at heart. She has been shown to care for Pakunoda, as she was one of the members who mourned her death and watched over her grave. Furthermore, Machi is fiercely loyal to Chrollo, going so far as to challenge two other Troupe members for his sake. She also stated that she would hunt down Hisoka if he were to kill Chrollo. She is very confident in her strength and replies accordingly if threatened. Machi also has sharp intuitions, which have turned out to be true most of the time and are trusted by some of her comrades, such as Nobunaga and Chrollo. Hisoka seems to have high regard for Machi and her abilities, although she treats him as a nuisance at best and a potential enemy of Chrollo's at worst. However, she seemed to care for him to some extent after he died, and after he was revived, she merely told him that she hoped he had learned his lesson, although her job was to confirm his death. When she was restrained by Hisoka, she revealed a much wilder side, screaming in anger at him. Machi keeps several needles in the pincushion she wears on her wrist. She uses them in conjunction with her Nen ability to stitch wounds and track targets. Due to Machi being born in Meteor City, her existence is not recorded in any database, which makes obtaining information on her nearly impossible. As a member of the Phantom Troupe, Machi is a very powerful fighter. She has extreme confidence in her strength, demonstrated when she was willing to engage in combat with both Phinks and Feitan in order to let Pakunoda go to the hostage exchange with Kurapika. She also confidently told Hisoka that she would kill him if he ever managed to kill Chrollo. Furthermore, when Gon and Leorio couldn't grasp the extent of her and Nobunaga's strength, Killua compared it to that of Hisoka. When dividing the Troupe into groups to prevent Kurapika from killing them one by one, Chrollo placed Machi in a team with two out of the five members who had received a foreboding fortune and possessed abilities that were said to be invaluable assets to the Spiders. Like the rest of the Troupe, Machi has superhuman physical attributes but has yet to fight with her bare hands (although the guard she used to defend against Killua and Hisoka suggests that she has some expertise in the field). She primarily resorts to using her threads in combat, restraining or hanging her opponents, or even setting elaborate traps. She is also rather observant, understanding that she and Nobunaga were being watched by professionals. Machi is a Transmuter. As a member of the Phantom Troupe, she is extremely proficient in Nen. The techniques she has been seen using are Hatsu, In, Ren, and Gyo, with the probable addition of Ken and, obviously, Ten. Outside of her natural category, she appears to have at least a working command of Emission.
