She is also very straightforward and she is the one that will do what she has to even if it’s a bit embarrassing. But she’s also very determined to get into the phantom jobs. Not so much known about Mai's background, but she is one quarter Japanese, and she learned Chinese self-defense from her father. Mai's ability is called ''Spirit of the Five Elements''. Her ability requires her to basically rub different areas from her sides to her chest to channel a specific element into her fists, using the classic Chinese elemental system. She specializes in close combat and her power consists on channeling elemental powers through her body, such as fire from her heart or water from her kidneys.
