## Synopsis

*The main protagonist of the series. A shy yet kind girl who worries often. She doesn’t know all that much about idols, deciding to pursue the path in order to reach to her ex-best friend. She knows her plan is flawed, but works hard every day regardless. She’s nearly almost seen with a smile on her face, as she believes that’ll make others smile too. Mai hides her insecurities, not wanting to be a burden on others. She’s a cute type idol who primarily uses the brand ‘Pastel Macaron’.*

## Personality

Mai is a friendly, caring, intelligent and pure girl. However, she's gullible, shy, and often unorganised. She tends to worry about a lot, and believes that she's boring, and doesn't have as much impact as her friends.

Due to some advice her mother used to give her, Mai is determined to never let anyone see her upset, wanting to make others smile. She lacks confidence and doesn't really about herself, as long as others are happy. Mai also somewhat blames herself for Sakura's death, despite knowing she shouldn't.

## Appearance

Mai has pastel pink hair, that reaches to her waist. She usually wears it down and wavy. In her hair, she wears a red ribbon. Her eyes are crimson with a yellow tint, and she's quite short for her age, often being mistaken for a young child.

## Etymology

**Amamiya**「雨宮」: Amamiya comes from Ame (雨) which means rain, and Miya (宮) which means shrine.

**Mai**「まい」: Mai comes from Ma (真) which means genuine, and Ai (愛) which means love. However, another possible kanji combination of this name is Mai (舞), which means dance. This could be a reference to the fact she's an idol.
