Minami Maki

MINAMI MAKI (Perceived Male)

## Appearance

Not only has Minami been blessed with an identity that is equally adept at both masquerading as a male, and as presenting as a authentic teenage female, he has a physical body that can be both outfitted and seemingly perceived as a male, and can be also dressed and presenting as a cute, pretty teenage girl. Minami is neither too short to be taken as a guy, nor too tall to be seen as a typical girl. He has a rounded face, with slightly full cheeks, and a somewhat pointed chin. His hair is smooth, not spiky like a guy's, and when combed down falls into pleasant little individual bangs. He has bright blue hair color, with pale sky blue highlights. His hair always has a 'cow lick' protruding from the upper side of his head. He has big 'anime girl' eyes, unusual for a guy, that also have a bright blue color hue to them, giving his face a slightly erotic demure. He has expressive eyelashes and eyebrows.

Minami has normal shoulders, not broad like a typical male, and a slender, attractive body build and features. He has average size hands and feet, but long, slender, attractive legs. Overall, Minami is a very attractive and desirable young man, at least from the viewpoints of the girls in the high school. However, only four girls (and one cross-dressing boy who is very suspicious) know that Minami is destined to abandon his male appearance, and probably eventually take on an authentic female gender expression.

For school, Minami wears the male school uniform, consisting of a men's medium blue business suit with a red tie. However, he almost always has his shirt tails hanging out, giving him a somewhat sloppy appearance. For causal wear, he wears the typical t-shirt and pants, or shirt and shorts. Unlike female fashions and styles, male fashion is not something that he gives much thought or action towards.

## Personality

In a word or two, Minami's personality can be described as easy going. He 'rolls with the flow' quite well, and not a whole lot of things cause him to become distressed or anxious. He is an only child, and has grown up in a caring family, thus contributing to his mostly steady and level-headed personality traits and attitudes. The good personality traits of personal confidence and good self-worth can be see from how he handled the opportunity to transition to his correct gender of female. From the enthusiasm that Minami expresses when it becomes viable for him to begin to transition to that of a teenage female, it appears that Minami has known that he was a transgender person for quite some time. However, given his 'laid-back' personality, is seems that he has never had very much trouble with Gender Dysphoria, or the depression and broken spirit that usually comes with it. He continues to show a great urge to dress and present as a teenage female, that seems to grow more and more as time and the school year goes by. Minami is also a risk-taker, given the times that he pursues his female activities at home, mostly in his bedroom, with the parents always somewhere in the house, or gone for an unknown amount of time.

A possible negative personality trait that Minami has is that he can be at times very self-centered and seemingly uncaring to what others say or feel. His childhood friend, Karin Saku, is alternately sought out or ignored, given whatever holds Minami's interest at the moment. But she is a good influence on him, even though he does not understand that she is now more than a helpful, childhood friend, and has become his unrequited lover. Minani does okay in school, but sometimes needs remedial help in order to study properly, given his sometimes lack of concentration on class subjects. Sometimes Minami acts impulsively, without thinking things through, but then his friends are always there to help him. As with most male to female transgender people, Minami has developed the personality and abilities to carry on covert activities, with little or no notice of family or friends around him. This to provide times and places to present themselves as a teenage female, one of the highest priorities in his life at this time. Minami takes things in stride, and continues to show a desire to live their life, especially their female life, to the fullest.

## Minami's Story

Born perceived as a male, but appears to be a male to female transgender teen with a female Gender Identity, or a Bigender identity. When masquerading as a male, uses their birth name of Minami Maki. Apparently, Minami has known that they were a transgender male-to-female for quite some time now. Minami appears to be about 15-16 years old, making them a First Year in high school. But Minami, still being a legal minor, can do little about a complete transition to female. It may be that their gender dysphoria was not pronounced until they became a teenager and began to go through puberty. As of Chapter 47 of the manga, Minami still has not done a 'coming out' to family and most friends about the fact that they have begun to transition to that of an attractive teenage girl, as well as an anime girl. Meanwhile, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually his soul and spirit are all crying out to present as their correct gender of a teenage female. As such, Minami has become skilled in deception, but in a positive sense, that is, to continue to transition 'under cover' until circumstances become more favorable. As it is, at school, only three girls know, and one cross-dressing boy suspects, about Minami's transition efforts. His parents do not know, however, Mom may suspect something is afoot. But since his is now in high school, Minami sees one way for them to begin presenting as a girl without much risk or trouble, albeit a maho shoujo girl. This by joining the Maho Shoujo Club as an after school activity. Ordinary male student by day, cute, pretty teenage maho shoujo girl after school, and on select weekends, what could go wrong ?

However, as time passes, male Minami begins to spend more and more time not only as the anime girl Maho Curry, but as an ordinary teenage girl Karii Maki. Thus begins a double life, so like many teenage transgender male-to-female persons IRL find themselves doing. Their double life becomes more and more complicated as he tries to devote an increased amount of time to his presentations as a female, and with keeping that a secret becomes less and less viable. Minami also picks up a nemesis in the form of another boy who cross-dresses themselves, and that boy may be gender conflicted. His name is Akria Asaba. *Majitora!* is Minami's story of how their transformation from perceived male to authentic female, and their presentations at different times and places as two pretty, teenage females was done, and how this affected not only him, but the people around him that are important to him.
