What on earth is going on in the Predator extended universe where you have Predators intermingling with humans?
Machiko is a human woman of Japanese descent. As a young woman, Machiko witnessed her father, Akira Noguchi, commit seppuku (a suicide honor-killing) when he was fired from the Yashido company for embezzlement. Before dying, Akira told his daughter to restore their family's honor; he'd composed a Death Poem for Machiko, but her mother, Keiko, refused to let her read it until many years later. Machiko would grow up to be a loner, but hoping to fulfill her father's wishes she began training in martial arts.

Powers & Abilities

Machiko Noguchi is a woman of exceptional strength, skill, and ability to adapt to her situation. Despite the fact that as a human, she is considerably weaker than an average Predator, she has still held her own against them on several occasions, as well as against Xenomorphs.

She has extensive and intimate knowledge of Predator culture and society, and is quite fluent in their customs and behavior.

Machiko typically makes use of various Predator equipment in battle, namely weapons and armor, but she also has experience with conventional human weaponry, as well as various forms of unarmed combat.

just thought I would catch you up on the intermingling

Be Cool
Al

I want to say this is going to be a pass but damned if I'm not intrigued. Looking forward to the full reveal.

Have you ever imagined a world with no hypothetical situations?

And this is the answer to your question.

I was going to say "Oh, I don't know the character. Oh, it's outside the line I'm focusing on," but it really just comes down to the $$. Had I a bigger budget it wouldn't be a question, I'd be ordering her. I have no self control either, my budget is the only thing that keeps me reined in.
