Eye Color: Crimson red

Mai typically wears average clothing, unless she is training. She believes being as uncomfortable as possible while training is the key to success. So, she either wears heavy clothing such as a Hakama or multiple layers of cloth. Or the complete opposite, and wear as little to no clothes as possible. This trains her for the real world, where nothing is always the same. It prepares her for any situation, as far as clothing is concerned.

Mai is quiet, at the very least. Typically likes to stay to herself and not go out of her way to make a scene. It is only when something gets out of hand, or someone tries to get at her, does she lose her temper. In most cases, she can keep her cool and let things pass. However, there are certain things people do or say (where her Minor Misophonia kicks in), that will really get her going. Although her fighting style is with the use of swords, she has trained in the ways of martial arts to shut down those that cross her.
Although she seems very uncaring, that couldn't be more wrong. Mai finds that those in need, need someone strong to have their back. So she typically leans towards the weaker ones to be around. This may seem like she takes pity on them, which tends to backfire most of the time, however she does whatever she can to help until they wish her to help no more.
You'll typically find Mai sitting under a tree or behind a building reading a book in Japanese or Chinese. When approached she will act as though she doesn't understand someone (as if she doesn't know English), however she is quite fluent in English, as she was born in America. It's a defense technique, that she probably should stop using.

A history is more then someone's life, its their journey. It's why they're standing in front of you. It's their book that hasn't been completed. Mai's book has been stained with blood and violence, creating the person that lifelessly walks the halls of her new high school. Growing up with no siblings and parents that are both teachers, was both painful and eye opening. The system that was implemented became her whole world. With pressure from their distant family, to keep their child in line, her parents showed corporal punishment even for the smallest things. This wasn't basic spanking, either. In the beginning, they'd punish her without leaving marks. However, as time went on and her body grew to withstand more punishment, they became less understanding and began not to hold back.
Trained since she could stand, her fighting was meant to protect the family and against the ever growing violence in the world. Mai was a gentle giant as a child, but soon learned that she could and would be killed if she didn't fight back. Taught to never hit first, Mai was home schooled and forced to train 12 hours a day, schooling for 7, and sleep for the remaining. It took a tole on her psyche, and caused her to seek professional help. Yet another means for punishment for her parents to inflict when she returned from each visit. This trained her that to get help was weak, and the only help she would need is from herself.
Many years later, her parents passed away in a tragic accident. The initial report stated it was a violent gang attack gone wrong, but Mai knew better. She knew her parents were involved in underground gambling, trading and other illegal acts. All their talk of justice and crap, and they were the ones doing all the wrong. With that, her parents were cremated and their ashes made into a beautiful art piece on her back. The dragon symbolizes her, and the two souls that are being pulled out of the back of her head is her attempt to rid herself of them forever. However, its a constant reminder that no matter how hard she'll try, they'll always be there.
Oh, and how could she forget, the last act of torment from her parents, on their will they wrong that Mai would be enlisted to attend Public High School #552... A nice big middle finger to her as they were sent to hell.

Mai is skilled in the art of swordsmanship. However, more recently she has been learning how to use martial arts, specifically in the art of fighting multiple people at once (1 vs 12, etc). Her keen eye and attention to detail makes her a deadly opponent in multiple assailant combat. She uses the environment and their cluttered bodies to her advantage, making them all their worst enemy.
