Mai is a shy girl, usually keeping to herself and rarely venturing beyond the confines of her home. Bookish by nature, she’s become a fount of knowledge on a wide range of esoterica. Despite an aversion to confrontation, matters relating to morals and politics easily push her buttons; once her hackles are raised, she becomes a force with which to be reckoned. Mai is noticeably more relaxed in the company of her closest friend, Rika Hirodeki.

She was brought up wanting for little, her parents lavishing her with nearly everything she desired — except the social skills required to make friends. Mai was lonely and languishing in solitude, but meeting Rika in high school changed all that, giving her a new outlook on life (most importantly, that it didn’t totally suck). She has since expanded her wardrobe to include colors other than black. Though she still doesn’t completely understand extroverts, she’s become more willing to emulate them.

Mai is currently married-by-association to Pepito D’bo, a notorious space pirate, after a failed attempt to save Rika from the shackles of holy K’baban union. Maintaining this status has proven essential to remaining uneaten by their K’baban guests, and requires her to pretend to be Rika’s domestic partner at all times, but she doesn’t mind. Mai prefers a female masseuse.
