So, I know there are other versions of the character out there, but these are mine.
Since Machiko is one of the more dynamic characters in the franchise, doing her as a Persona seemed appropriate.
This version represents her in the first AvP comic, at the start of everything going pear-shaped thanks to Broken Tusk's hunting party. Her card text is a little clunky, but one of my favorite bits in the comic is when Conover hits on her (borderline sexually harassing her), and when she can't get him to understand she's not interested, she throws him across the room. Upside down. Seems she studied some of those "use opponent's force against them" martial arts, which is fitting considering she's small even for a human. Besides, I think it's fun that she can theoretically Judo Chop a Predalien into submission.
And this is her among the Predators. The card text from the initial version is too wordy to include elsewhere, so future versions lose that, but it does give an incentive to use her first iteration. Her ability to use human weapons and gear in addition to Predator ones could be fun. Her improved Speed and Power reflect that, I think, she was forced to exert herself to near the absolute peak of what she could physically attain while living with the Predators (she is drawn notably more muscular in AVP: War than elsewhere). Even then, she's physically overshadowed by every single other Predator she encounters.
And this represents Machiko after leaving the Predator lifestyle to return to humanity. Her experiences have changed her, and she's now quite capable. Capable enough that some might come calling on her expertise in certain matters, as in "Three World War."
And as an Easter Egg, an alternate picture for the first iteration of Machiko.
