Headcannon: Makoto is amazingly light on her feet. It’s part of what makes things like dancing come so easily to her. 

When Minako first notices, she assumes it’s a habit based in sports or fighting tactics. That’s why she’s light footed, after all.

But really, it’s something Makoto learned to try and negate her size. She’s always been too tall for her age, “too big,” so she learned to sound small, especially after her parents died and she was shuffled among guardians who didn’t really want her. No stomping, no shouting, no big laughter. She learned to step so quietly that they had to see her to know she was there.
