Nanase Mai

**Mai** Nanase (七瀬 **舞**) is a recurring minor character of the online games.

A skilled Taimanin and a student at Gosha Academy, that uses paper arts.

## Personality

Mai is only seen shortly in TABA and acts rather naive but also driven by her strong desire for justice.

Later games give her a **Dandere**-like character, tending to stay to herself and never speaking unless spoken too. Serious and calm, but when it comes to books, she can't stop talking about them. Even reading multiple books before sleeping, she is often the responsible person working by the book. She has a habit to speak to the pieces of origami, she controls with her power, similar to an imaginary friend of sorts. Despite all this, she's loved by everyone and called Mai-chan, considered an elite, strict and rigid.

She is best friends with Shinohara Mari, which she calls senpai, even though they are in the same class and has become a good friend of Kotaro in both RPGX/Action as they have the same interest.

## Appearance

Mai has white long hair and red eyes.

Her Taimanin suit is mostly white and blue with two detached sleeves leaving her shoulders bare.

## History

Mai is a student at Gosha Academy and classmate of Shinohara Mari.

As a Taimanin, she is known for her paper art, and is considered powerful even for paper users. Like others, she loves books and often stays at Gosha Library.

### Timeline TABA

Both her and Fuuma Kotaro were tricked by a disguised Fürst, to go to a facility in control of Felicia. At first, Mai is convinced that the Fuuma Organization is behind the facility, but the attacking Felicia changes her mind. Though she complains to Kotaro, as she still views him as "evil", he saves her to live with the help of the arriving Fuuma Tokiko and all three are able to escape.

It isn't clear if Mai was captured at this point or just let go, after they were safe, as no follow-up event with her exist.
