## Profile

### Identity

Lancer's true identity is **Mai Hazuki**, who uses the alias Mai Natsume (マイ ナツメ). Originally born as a male, Mai was the young heir to the prestigious Hazuki family. One day, at the Hazuki library, Mai had an encounter with a nameless grimoire, which permanently transformed him into a girl. Mai would later go on to attend the Torifune Military Academy, along with Noel Vermillion, Makoto Nanaya, Tsubaki Yayoi, Kajun Faycott and Jin Kisaragi, and went on a number of adventures, during which she crossed paths with other notable figures, ranging from a young Ragna the Bloodedge to the devious Relius Clover. As there are no cure to reverse the gender transformation, Mai’s new life has just begun.

By the time of Variable Heart, she had become a member of Sector Seven, alongside her best friend Kajun. She met a little artificial human girl known as Bell, whose body would eventually becoming the embodiment of a three-in-one entity known as Platinum the Trinity, with Bell’s soul becoming part of the legendary weapon Gallia Sphyra: Outseal, which would become Mai’s main weapon.

### Appearance

In Remix Heart Mai is a teenage girl with magenta eyes and long thick blue hair tied by a yellow ribbon into a ponytail that reaches her thighs; she also has hair antennae, two sidelocks that reach to her chest. Her body is quite slender and athletic, with thin limbs and a flat abdomen, but has a bust that is second only to that of Makoto in size at the Military Academy.

As a student, she wore the standard blue and white uniform of the Military Academy, accompanied by black thigh-high stockings and white shoes with yellow outline. At times she also wore pink lipstick and nail polish. During the sport festival, she has her hair down with her ribbon as a hairband, and a standard Japanese looking school P.E. uniform. When Mai and her friends went swimming she wore a thin, striped two-piece light and dark blue bikini with yellow straps and rims that is decorated with yellow ribbons. For her school swimming lessons she wore a one-piece competition swimsuit. When participating in the academy survival training, Mai wore a low cut black tank top with a short-sleeved jacket, emblazoned with the Academy’s insignia. The top was tucked into normal short shorts held together by a pocket belt. Black thigh-length socks and military boots finished the look off.

As a male Mai was taller, had broader shoulders, a wider waist and narrower hips. Mai had long hair that was at times tied in a ponytail, though she didn’t use a ribbon. Her appearance was sufficiently different that neither Jin nor Tsubaki who had known Mai as a boy were able to realize that the female and the male Mai were the same person. Mai had worn the formal clothes expected of the Twelve Originators member; examples include a white collar shirt accompanied with a white scarf, a dark vest, and black formal jeans.

By the time of Variable Heart and Centralfiction her appearance had somewhat changed as she had gotten older. Her hair got longer compared to her first year of the academy, with her side-locks reaching below her navel and her ponytail below her knees. In addition, Kajun said that Mai’s chest had grown in size “to another level” and Kagura also commented that Mai’s chest has grown nicely. She now wore an outfit given to her by Kajun that consisted of lowleg tight-fitting black pants that exposed some skin on her sides, a backless white halter top with red trimming, black symbols, and a big golden zipper piece, maroon fingerless gloves that reach close to her elbows and high-heeled boots. She also had a red cape that she removed before combat.

### Personality

Mai is, above all, kind and considerate for her friends, and is willing to do anything to help them and to keep them from harm. The Hazuki heiress is brave to a fault, and is willing to put herself in harms way to protect friends and family. Mai is sincerely kind to just about anyone and will give up her own possessions to strangers if she believes it will help them.

She struggled for some time to come to terms with her transformation from a man into a woman, but has come to accept what has happened; for some time, she kept this a secret from her friends, terrified of what they would think of her. Recently, she has begun to long for others to accept her as human since she has become a Remix Heart. Mai, unlike many other nobles, also fails to be racist towards beastkin, half-beastkin, and demi-humans. When still new to being a woman, she had a slightly perverted side.

Her relationship is strongest with Kajun, who she cares immensely for. The two are close enough that they have been known to innocently sleep next to one another, and they are rarely seen apart. Mai also has a close relationship with Taro, and there are hints of an unexplored romantic attraction. Mai undoubtedly trusts the both of them with her life.

She has a strained relationship with her father, Houichirou Hazuki; her father's obsession with pure power has driven a wedge between the two, and Houichirou has sent numerous assassins after her just to test her strength. Mai is closer with her mother, Rin Hazuki, who cares deeply for her daughter, and the two train together. Despite this, Mai never responded to the letters Rin sent her daughter while she was the Military Academy.

### Relationships

#### **Noel Vermillion** / **Tsubaki Yayoi** / **Makoto Nanaya**

Mai's friends from her Military Academy days, she still has good relations with them.

## Abilities

Since her childhood, Mai has been trained in the assassination techniques employed by her family's branch, the Kirihito's. She is capable of numerous acrobatics, has good stamina, and is generally physically fit. She has considerable skill with a rapier and main gauche, being capable of fighting with both in conjunction.

Mai has the technique called Super Taster which enhances her sense of taste to detect the feelings of food and those who prepared it. This has turned into more of a hindrance than a blessing as Mai finds most normal food to be essentially inedible, and only can only eat the food made by Noel Vermillion with any satisfaction. At some point, Mai was also the Intermediary Grimoire, which allowed her to transfer abilities between individuals if she kissed them, but she lost this ability upon becoming a Remix Heart. As she is fused with the No-Name Grimoire, Mai has the ability to enter a mode that makes her faster and stronger, turning her pupils into white squares. She can also use this ability to turn into any other Grimoire, such as the Azure Grimoire or even a Nox Nyctores - Rin believes that within a week, she could also learn Vision with her power.

Currently, Mai wields the Legacy Weapon - Gallia Sphyras: Outseal, a spear which has taught her how to wield it. The weapon has the Immortal Breaker, allowing her to kill individuals like vampires. Outseal can change direction mid-throw, and can be summoned by Mai afterwards. Although considerably skilled with Outseal, Mai is not strong enough to evenly fight individuals such as [w:c:blazblue:Hazama|Hazama]].

### Noble Phantasm

#### **Gallia Sphyras: Outseal; "Crismon Bullet"**

The Gallia Sphyras: Outseal, is a Legacy Weapon replica in the shape of a spear. It is owned by Mai Natsume. According to Kajun Faycott who reconstructed it, its power is equal to the original Legacy Weapon.

Outseal is an Immortal Breaker, a weapon capable of defeating the undead. Similarly to the Izayoi, which was based on a Legacy Weapon, Outseal has the ability to harm immortal beings. In addition, it possesses the power to change direction mid-flight after being thrown in order to home into its target. Furthermore, Outseal can quickly heal the wounds of its wielder and teaches them how to use it just by being held. Its user can also summon the spear whenever they need it. Outseal is currently tuned to Mai and only she is able to use its powers.
It is unknown if the replica has a price of use, though it initially lacked a limiter and its wielder ran the risk of having their soul consumed by the spear if they used too much of its power.

#### **Red Confront; "Scarlet Lotus of the Pale New Moon"**

Sweeps the spear in a wide rage, and then throws a massive spear from above to slay the opponent.
