Chiho Mao (Tenki)

:This is the version of Chiho Mao from Angel Knight. You may also be looking for the version from The Next Knight in the Area.
Chiho Mao is one of Keiko Aizawa's best friends, as well as the one-time foster-daughter of the Aizawa family. She is a basketball player.
== Appearance ==
=== Physical ===
Chiho is a young girl with straight red hair that frays out at the sides. Her body is slender and lithe.
=== Clothing ===
==== Casual ====
==== Uniform ====
Chiho's Enoshima High School uniform has two variations for both parts of the year.
Her spring-fall-winter uniform is a white long-sleeve sailor suit shirt with a dark-turquoise neckerchief and a black skirt. The sailor collar and the cuffs of the shirt have two thin blue stripes.
Her summer uniform is very different. It consists of a white short-sleeve sailor suit blouse with a red neckerchief and a blue skirt. The sailor collar is blue with thin white stripes near the edges.
==== Footwear ====
Aside for sneakers, Chiho also wears a pair of open-toe kitten heels. She also wears a pair of SAMFC (her favorite brand) basketball shoes that she sets aside for playing basketball.
==== Swimwear ====
Chiho owns an electric-purple bikini that she wears when swimming, but she also likes wearing it sometimes when she plays in the Kaihin Condos basketball court, especially when it's hot.
== Personality ==
Despite having been raised in and out of foster care for half of her life, Chiho maintains a positive outlook on life and is the real mood-maker of the group.
Normally, she is really chipper, sometimes to the point of being a bit bubbly, and can be a bit carefree, but she hardens her attitude when she feels her friends are threatened, and can be very consoling when her friends are in pain.
On the court, she turns into a serious player, always thinking of the best way to advance the team forward and score. Regardless of that, she always endeavors to have fun playing, and takes it upon herself to keep the team's morale high even when they're losing.
Despite her positivity and upbeat attitude, Chiho carries her own set of scars. She has a strong dislike of men, which stems from a period of sexual abuse she endured at the hands of her last foster father before the Aizawas. She doesn't have androphobia, but she doesn't trust any man she's not familiar with, and instinctively goes into "defensive mode" whenever she meets such a man. Men she's familiar with and trusts with include Saito, and Yuki and Keiko's male relatives.
One of her greatest personal struggles is her sexual orientation. Due to her history of being sexually abused by men, she doesn't have the best views on heterosexuality and sex in general. Her adoption by Miyuki and Natsumi, two lesbian wives, opened her up to the world of LGBT, and lesbianism in particular. Since becoming a teenager, she often finds that her sexual preferences have been increasingly leaning towards women, even though she still finds herself attracted to men (those she knows well enough to be friendly with at least) despite her aversion. She often questions herself on whether she is straight or gay, and her sexual activities with Keiko and Yuki, along with her reluctance to discuss the matter with her mothers, have only made her confusion worse.
To this day, she still doesn't know of she's heterosexual, bisexual, or homosexual.
== Abilities ==
As a basketball player, Chiho is a very versatile ball-handler, and is capable of shots from any direction. Her passes are also very accurate, which helps with keeping the ball away from the opponent.
Chiho has a great shooting arm, and she is proficient in several different types of shots, and can make long-range shots with relative ease from about twenty-five feet away. Shots from any farther away are difficult for Chiho, but she's constantly trying to increase her range.
==Personal Belongings==

Masako Mao真沙子 真奥 	Biological Mother 	
Masako is Chiho's biological mother, whom on looks alone resembles an older version of Chiho, but that's where their similarities end. She is the head of a local yakuza gang affiliated with a larger syndicate based in Yokohama. She has two tattoos: a tigress on her back and a tiger cub on her stomach above her belly button. She got former shortly after entering yakuza life at the age of fifteen, and the latter after learning she was pregnant with Chiho, supposedly to symbolize her.
Shortly before learning she was pregnant with Chiho, Masako was arrested and convicted for nonviolent crimes; including multiple counts of burglary and drug dealing (though she never actually used drugs herself). The only charge Masako wasn't convicted with was aiding with running operations for higher level yakuza. She was charged and indicted for it, but she was careful enough to prevent law enforcement from definitely linking her to her superiors, and her lawyer, whom was on the yakuza's payroll, made doubly sure of it, preventing a conviction. She was offered a suspended sentence in exchange for turning on her gang and superiors, but Masako remained loyal, held her tongue, and served sixteen years of a thirty-year prison sentence.
Masako learned of her pregnancy and gave birth to Chiho while in prison, approximately eight months into her sentence. She was eighteen years old at the time. Chiho was taken away to be raised in the foster care system within six hours after she was born; Masako was only allowed a short while to hold her and name her before Chiho was taken away.
Masako got released on parole just as Chiho started high school. Chiho had been told Masako died giving birth to her, and was genuinely, and understandably, shocked and outraged to find out she had been lied to all her life. Her angry indignation against those who raised her turned to apologetic understanding the moment she realized Masako's criminal record and nature.
After she was released, Masako tried to win back custody of her from Miyuki and Natsumi (their lesbianism being her primary argument), despite never having raised or even seen Chiho since she was born. She ceased her pursuits for custody of Chiho when the court made it clear that, while the law recognized her as Chiho's legal and biological mother, her criminal record prevented her from getting custody of her. Regardless, she came to an understanding with Chiho's new mothers, and settled on visitation rights whenever she pleased.
Shortly after being released, she wasted no time in getting back into the criminal underworld despite her parole. Originally a low-level underling with minimal responsibilities before her incarceration, she was granted leadership of her gang – replacing her since-deceased leader – after assisting yakuza operations from behind bars (helping to smuggle and distribute contraband into the prison and the like), and also starts running several rackets for her superiors – including debt collection and a smuggling operation – out of a nightclub owned by her boss.
Despite her unwillingness to go straight, she loves Chiho as any mother would and cares for her well-being; she made it crystal clear to her gang that no one was to go anywhere near her daughter or her friends. Her love for Chiho made her determined to keep her daughter far away from the yakuza life and the conflict brewing between the yakuza groups her and Kazuto Shirayuki's gangs are affiliated with, a conflict which threatens to erupt into an all-out war. Regardless, Masako takes time to watch Chiho's games as often as she can, and even admits that she's proud of her. As much as Masako wants to keep her away from the yakuza, she is very protective of Chiho and wants to do anything for her; she even acquiesced to Chiho's pleas to use her gang to save the Aizawa sisters when they were kidnapped by Akio Takayama, but not before getting permission from her bosses.
Masako never clearly told Chiho her father's identity, not even his real name, though she never denied knowing it. All Masako told her when she asked was that he was "this kid I couldn't get rid of," that he lived on the same block as her, and she only knew him as "Taku-kun." She heavily implied that Taku-kun was young at the time. She also heavily implied that she did care about Taku-kun very much, maybe even loved him. She explained that she first met him when she was fifteen, there was a five-year age-difference between them, and the main reason she was with Taku-kun so much was because, despite having at least two elder siblings, his parents were too busy to have anything to do with him. Similarly, Masako was raised by her aunt, her mother's sister, as her parents were never married and were too preoccupied chasing their next flings to want anything to do with her. So, they leaned on each other for support, eventually turning into a physical relationship. Masako also learned Taku-kun, whom she said was thirteen when she got put away, had since built a successful life for himself during her incarceration, and had the heart to admit that she still cares about him and misses him; yet, the way she said it when she told her made Chiho think that she's actually still in contact with Taku-kun.

Miyuki Tsujimoto & Natsumi Kobayakawa美幸 辻本 & 夏実 小早川 	Adopted Mothers 	
Lesbian wives and Chiho's adopted mothers.
Chiho became the foster daughter of the Aizawas when she was ten, following the revelation that she was being sexually abused by her then foster father. A year later, Chiho was adopted by the lesbian couple, who have been the most loving family to her in her life.
Chiho sleeps naked with them (non-sexually) all the time. Both Miyuki and Natsumi are motorcyclists in addition to their jobs.
They're both motorheads (motorbike enthusiasts) and often take motorcycle tours around parts of Japan when they have vacation time, and Chiho often goes with them. 
They knew about Chiho's mother, having been informed before her adoption was made official, but kept the truth from her for Chiho's own good. Masako's sudden reappearance in Chiho's life caused a rift to appear between them and Chiho for a brief time, as Chiho felt betrayed that her own mother's would help the government hide the identity of her mother from her. Said rift healed when Chiho apologized to her mothers after she realized Masako's nature. 
Despite their love for each other, Miyuki and Natsumi have very contrasting personalities.
Chiho calls Miyuki "Miyu-kāchan." Miyuki, the older of the couple by at least seven months, is a 110 (the Japan emergency number) operator and works with Mito Aizawa. Miyuki is very level-headed and patient. Miyuki is so patient that she's often the first one that Chiho comes to for advice.
Chiho calls Natsumi "Natsu-kāchan." Natsumi was a firefighter paramedic in the Kamakura Fire Department, now she works in a bike shop.
Natsumi is a borderline party-girl and deep drinker and is prone to flashing her bare breasts when intoxicated, necessitating either Miyuki or Chiho, or both, to put her to bed. But Natsumi has an unfortunate habit of hugging in her sleep, causing either her wife of her daughter to be trapped in her embrace until she wakes up.
Normally, getting drunk just gets her very hyper, but it turned to a coping method after Nana died in her ambulance on their way to the hospital. Her failure to keep Nana alive haunted her from then on, and the guilt ate away at her to the point that she was prone to lashing out, almost violently, at her wife and daughter when she got drunk. After the pair forced her into rehab, she finally got better and returned to her old self after Keiko brought her to her place of solace, sat her down and forgave her.
Regardless, she'd already quit the fire department following Nana's death and refused to go back, unable to trust herself in the field anymore. So, she changed careers and began working at a bike shop, turning her hobby into her job.	Lesbian wives and Chiho's adopted mothers.

That being said, her only known biological family is her mother, and her biological father, whom her mother knew mainly by a nickname, remains unidentified.
** She had at least five different foster families before being taken in by the Aizawas. 
** Because of a period of sexual abuse at the hands of her last foster father before the Aizawas, Chiho lost her virginity at the age of ten.
** Despite offers from several several families to adopt her, Chiho refused all of them, too wary of strangers by then. But, while she was being fostered by the Aizawas, she did get to know Natsumi and Miyuki well enough to let them.
** When Chiho was finally adopted by Natsumi and Miyuki at the age of 11, she chose to retain her birth surname.
* The version of Chiho from TNKitA wasn't introduced until Keiko was hospitalized following the arrest of that story's version of Kazuto Shirayuki. This version has known Keiko and Yuki since kindergarten.
* Chiho, like her two best friends, is also a resident of Kaihin Condominiums, living with her adopted mothers in Unit 734, right across the hall from the Aizawas.
* Although Chiho's sexual preferences have been leaning toward women, she still doesn't know what sexual orientation is. That said, she's more accurately described as a WSW, rather than a lesbian.
* The younger Aizawa siblings, Hiroki, Ryo and Koichi often call her Chiho-nee-chan, Chiho-nee, and Chiho-onee-chan respectively.
* The TNKitA version of Chiho had a cousin named Emi Mao, who was a female pro wrestler. Said cousin doesn't exist in Angel Knight.
* In real-world Japan, same-sex couples aren't allowed to legally adopt. Chiho's adoption, in-universe, was due to the laws being – fictionally – changed a few years prior to her adoption.
