}}'''Makena''' is one of the nine [[Minecraft:Skin#Default skins|default]] skins [[Minecraft:player]]s can use in ''[[Minecraft:Minecraft]]'', and the last to be introduced. Commonly seen alongside [[Minecraft:Kai]], Makena is often used as a mascot for content such as [[Minecraft:Spring to Life]] and [[Minecraft:Fantastic Fairgrounds]].

Makena is typically depicted with slim arms, dark skin, and curly, dark brown hair hanging down their right shoulder. Their eyes are slightly dim white, with brown pupils, and below are visible cheekbones and brown lips. Their signature feature is a warm, yellow sweater, on top of light red shorts and black shoes.

In the [[Minecraft:Character Creator]], Makena has approximately five unique items.
