Back story from the start 

Born the first child of Lord Spring Tempest, and Frost Sunoo-Aisu. Mai was raised by her mother and trained in the ways of the Yuki-onna. However, the constant interaction with humans that she and her mother had got her curious of the human world. While her mother taught her how to hide among humans, Mai was very trusting of people.

That trust turned into her undoing. December 30^th she met with the man Shin Yoku, a man she thought she could trust. But Yoku’s own plans had him tricking the girl into getting close enough for him to rip out her heart from her chest. He left her in his burning trap bleeding out in the snow. But as even Yoku admitted later, that taking a Yuki-onna’s heart isn’t enough to kill them. For six days Mai struggled after the man, seeking her vengeance. When she found him, her heart had already been used to form the blade of a weapon of destruction to all supernatural creatures. She cursed the samurai, the sword maker, and even herself, in an act of blind rage.

Now the three souls are bound to the fate of the demon blade, and Mai must stand at the side of the blade master.

When Tetsu Yushi, finds and has an unfortunate accident causing him to become the blade’s master. Mai awakens to make a blood contract with Tetsu. He will commit to help her break the curse, and she will lend her magic to aid him. And in turn she will help him rediscover what it means to dream again.

Personality:
Mai is a very carefree happy go lucky, but she is quick to anger. She loves to indulge in food and entertainment but is very cautious of modern technology. She almost instantly falls for Tetsu because of his kind and gentle spirit. Mai is usually quick to trust, but when it comes to truly show the love she is hesitant having been betrayed by Shin Yoku before. Mai is a big dreamer and a soul of great faith in things getting and being generally fun and good in life. Making her mostly a believer in faith, dreams, and hope. Opposing to Tetsu’s Logic, Reason, and Strategy. Mai generally charges headfirst and without a plan.

Things you may not know about:

• Mai is a horrible cook. This is from her training with her mother, she was told to put the magic of love in her cooking. Mai took this literally and brings unholy life to any food she cooks. And it tastes just as bad as it looks.
• Mai is generally interested in human things, but gets confused easily as she tries to make up for being unaware and a little frustrated over modern technology.
• Mai is a shopaholic. According to Tetsu, the only thing protecting his bank account fully is Mai’s frustration with computer’s keeps her from online shopping.
• When confronting Shin Yoku or desperate situations Mai unleashes into a mysterious rage that takes over her sense of reason and only acts upon reaction and anger. While she can come out of it the reason for it is unknown.
• While the curse was created by Mai originally her father feels that Mai alone couldn’t craft such a curse.
• Like all of the supernatural beings Mai’s last name lists her parents given name with her father first and mother second.
• Unlike Yoku and Kaji, Mai is forced to stay with the blade since its physically part of her. But she can be separated through some magic, but separated from the blade her magic grows weak after a day passes that she is not near the sword.

Creator’s notes:

Mai was the second character I designed in the series and while her look hasn’t changed much her role in the series has multiple times. Originally Mai was the villain of the series as it was a horror where they had to face a demon who possessed a cursed sword. She at the time and in early versions was just a random demon. But over the newer series the development on her heritage. While Mai and Ino were always sisters once I developed the concept of Ino. Mai’s full family didn’t come about till the 2013 version. One factor that remained the same was Mai’s conflict with Yoku and the binding of the three spirits of Mai, Yoku, and Kaji. In the redevelopment of Mai I decided personality-wise Mai is the stereotypical Shonen Hero (only female) she loves to eat and fight, she hates school and gets bored easily. 

While I have an urge to show many of the characters as children… Mai is kind of the exception. While much of her past was her training. The parts I will show later is her relation with Yoku and the events leading to her heart being taken. 

Mai like most Yuki-onna has a white kimono, (as seen above in her look 300 years ago) she lost the kimono when her heart was stolen. 

I have omitted info on the card this time that refers to a character never before seen, but was planned a long time ago. Upon the appearance of that character officially I will reveal the info hidden on the card.

Mai has a weakness to Heat / Fire. The heat drains her bodies magical power.

Much later in the series I do plan for Mai to get a body of her own once the curse weakens a bit. 

Mai is banned from the kitchen in the Yushi home and not permitted to take form during Tetsu’s Home Economics Class. Due to her history both bad cooking and Demonic nature to put life force into what she eats.

Mai doesn’t call Tetsu, Tetra, in his girl mode. She only identifies Tetsu as she wants to see him. Not till Tetsu comes out and admits where their heart lies to Mai will she Transfer to the name. 

Mai has never won a fight with her mother or father, but has never lost to any sibling. While she hasn’t won against her dad,  Spring she has tied a match with him twice. But still not even close to win against her Mom. 

While Mai has interest in Tetsu, and previously had a relationship with Yoku, Mai is very asexual in her interests. But she does get jealous of Kyle openly flirting and dating Tetsu.
