==Summary==
Maelstrom is an important supporting character in KoreZombie. She's a vampire ninja who's lived in the same hidden mountain village as Seraphim ever since becoming one. Following the village chief's death, a war broke out over who the successor should be, splitting the village into 2 factions. Maelstrom is part of the reformative faction, desiring to leave the old ways behind and making themselves more known within regular human society. Because of that, Maelstrom has accustomed herself to humans a lot, going to school, making friends, and taking the name Yuki Yoshida. Cheerful, upbeat, positive, and athletic, she's a tomboy who wishes for the war between vampire ninja factions to end. After accidentally kissing Ayumu Aikawa, she's officially engaged to him by her clan's customs; initially against it, she soon seriously falls in love with him. Her body serves as a container for a powerful magical weapon, dubbed Vinaigrette, that Ariel intends to use to overthrow Virie.

Vinaigrette will focus on destroying anything in its surroundings, while prioritizing greater threats
Weaknesses: Maelstrom needs to drink blood to replenish energy every few hours | While overtaken by Vinaigrette, Maelstrom tends to not move much. Emotional turmoil within Maelstrom will trigger a 30-second countdown before Vinaigrette self-destructs
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Special Oil: Through experimentation, Maelstrom's faction has created a type of oil capable of melting monsters and demons to their core, with merely a small splash
*Vinaigrette: In her attempt to overthrow Virie, Ariel created a powerful masou renki she hid inside Maelstrom. Whenever she's in grave danger or she loses consciousness, the weapon will activate and take control of her mind and body, taking the form of a two-meter tall burly man whose right half of his body is made of flames (Later, Maelstrom can activate and control Vinaigrette while consciousLight Novel, Volume 6). The "man" is attached to Maelstrom's back and cannot be detached; it can extend its body, turn its body or parts of it intangible, create dome-shaped forcefields (to either prevent enemies from approaching or from escaping when the self-destruct countdown starts), and it uses Maelstrom to cast spells. While spells are being cast, even if Maelstrom is wounded and bleeding, she will keep casting them unperturbed.
**Masticore: A fire spell with a large area of effect. Sends a scorching wave in the form of a person. She obliterated part of a multi-story building with it. The chant is: "These are the crossroads of life. I proceed on the road of life, whilst you proceed on the road of death. Be bitten to pieces. Masticore."
**Absolute Fenrir: An indiscriminate ice spell that freezes anything in a tens-meters radius within a second, be it people or buildings. The ice is durable and requires strong physical strength to shatter. The chant is: "Liberate your frozen heart. Change even the breaths of Gods into blizzards. Rush through. Absolute Fenrir."
**Hellion Stream: An indiscriminate wind spell in the form of a tornado with Maelstrom at its center. The winds grow stronger and expand over time, destroying the surroundings. The chant is: "Offspring of god and dragon, gather here in both my hands. Listen to the voice of your king and gather here in both my hands. Explode. Hellion Stream."
