•°• Personality •°•
Mai is a fiercely independent individual, a girl too bigheaded to take advice from pretty much anyone. She goes out of her way to adequately express herself, and instantaneously turns argumentative and bad tempered when people insult or criticize her in any way, constructive or non. Mai is known to rebel against authority pointlessly and is extremely obsessive and prideful when it comes to her beliefs. She wouldn't give her values up for the world.

•°• Background •°•
Mai was born as an only child to the expecting parents Ai and Lu Tukiko. Her parents wanted nothing more than for Mai to become the apprentice of one of the higher-up heroes, and Mai went along with their plans for her. That is, until the incident. Ai and Lu had felt that their daughter was becoming too dependent on them. So one day, they took her into the woods under the pretence of a good natured picnic, a nice break from her training. Instead, they abandoned Mai deep within the woods, where she got into a scuffle with a mountain lion. She eventually won, but had sustained serious injuries. A scar runs across the right side of her face. As a memoir of that hated day, Mai wears one of the mouain lion's paws on a piece of twine around her neck.

•°• Reason for Choosing the Shaman •°•
Mai chose the shaman merely to get revenge on her parents.

So begins...

"Mai Tukiko, get back here this instant!"

Jaw set, Mai storms away from the proceedings, her parents in tow. But she wouldn't turn. She daren't give them that satisfaction, the satisfaction of knowing they've gotten to her. In all honesty, she's not sure why they're still upset. It had been a while ago that she had refused to try out for an apprenticeship, the one thing Ai and Lu had dreamnt for her. Too bad. They had lost their parenting rights when they had condemned her to the wilderness against her will.

"Mai! You better listen or else-"

Fuming, Mai unsheathes the dagger at her waist, turning on her heel to face her parents. "Let me be! I want nothing to do with you, nor them." She nods towards the three heroes. "A lion consumed the dreams I once had!" She indicates to the scar that mars the right side of her face. "A lion you condemned me to! Now, let me be!"

Ai and Lu, Mai is pleased to see, stay rooted in place, jaws dropped in sheer shock and disbelief. She smirks contentedly, leaving the procession as people star her way, lion's paw bouncing against her chest. Now what? She's need to do something with her life, but she had been trained solely to fight. That's when she hears it.

"A shaman and a shrine maiden looking for apprentices here!"

Mai freezes in place, calling to her mind the purposes of these heroes. Shrine Maiden is a bit - ah - unconventional for her abilities, but Shaman? Why not? It would be something to do, and in a way, she'd still be fulfilling her dreams.

Sheathing her dagger, hair flowing out behind her, Mai makes her way over to the pair of oddball-looking heroes, surprised to see another young lady conversing with them already. All the same, she doesn't even look at the girl or the Shrine Maiden as she steps over to join the group, face impassive, hoping her parents are watching and crying out in shock.

She stops right in front of the man, maintaining eye contact determinedly. "I wish to apply for Shaman's apprentice." She speaks without emotion, absentmindedly running the fingers onher right hand through her hair, exposing her scar without realizing it.

When asked about her knowledge of healing and protection spells, and her skill of archery Tsubasa nodded. "I'm good at shield magic and can use it in the form of domes or barriers. And last year I made it to semi-finals of the junior archery tournament." She didn't mention healing magic, because she was terrible at it and wanted to focus on what she was good at. Its not like she could save lives with her healing magic, by the time she got it focused on the wound, the person would have bled to death.

Tsubasa opened her mouth to thank the man when he mentioned that her costume was nice. But quickly shut it and began to turn red from embarrassment as she discovered that he was a pervert. And could turn into a women. Which was very interesting and something that she almost wanted to ask him about. But judging from the way the two acted, she would be seeing him often and would probably see it eventually.

When another girl came up and said she wanted to apply to be the man's apprentice, Tsubasa nodded to her. She wondered how many other people would apply to these two, and how much of a chance she actually had at getting a spot. She glanced back at her brother who was still standing there waiting for her. He smiled and she smiled back, his smile boosted her confidence a little bit. Like it always did.

Mai's lips form into a content sneer at Ryu's questions. No, not one directed at him, but a bitter one as the image of her parents popped into her head. They would never, ever approve. All the more reason to do it, then, she thinks, laughing inwardly.

"With all due respect, Sir, I've been through a lot in my short time in this world," she speaks in her signature monotone, the very emotionless voice her parents had raised her to use. ("Emotion is weakness," Lu had said impassively. "Avoid weakness at all costs, lest you fail each of your endevours.") "I am as physically fit as can be and can use next to any weaponry. While I am afraid I can say nothing in terms of steel girders, sensory, and the likes, I am willing to put forth as much effort as necessary to learn." She smiles an emotionless smile. "I don't easily give up, and enjoy a good challenge. Assuming I am told beforehand of any challenges." She glances down at the lion's paw around her neck as Maraka stroms toward Ryu.

Mai pays little attention to the interaction between the two men, though she can't help but be impressed when Ryu catched the blade between his fingers. After that, she glances toward the two women - one about her age, one certainly older. Mai offers an emotionless smile to the younger girl, a short nod to the elder as she steps back to join them. When Ryu turns and asks the question, she just shrugs to display concession, not wanting to waste a word.

Tsubasa frowned, she doubted that no amount of training could get her to be good at healing magic. She just wasn't good at it and nothing could change it. She had her mind set on the fact that she could do it. She listened to all the things that a shaman had to know how to do and was amazed. The big three only had mastery of a few things. She stared in awe as Maraka walked over to them, but got over it very quickly when she learned something about the so called greatest swordsman.

The fact that he was an asshole. And certainly spoiled at some point in his life. She wondered if the other two were the same, and was suddenly glad that she hadn't been chosen. She watched the conflict between the shaman and the swordsman and found herself impressed by the perverted man. Though she certainly didn't trust him. At all.

When the shaman mentioned going to his house or the shrine, she focused her attention from the struggling swordsman to the pervert. The shrine in the area was the one near her house. Had she seen the shrine maiden there before in all her years going there? She glanced back over at her brother to see that he was still waiting there, and signaled to him that he could go home. He smiled and left with a wave.

Tsubasa knew that she did not want to be in the perverted man's house. So she decided it would be best to speak up about it. "I would be more comfortable with the shrine, to be honest."

"It doesn't matter anyways. I live next door to Kana. By the way, let me properly introduce myself and the shrine maiden. I am Ryu and this is Kana. Consider her to be sort of like my girlfriend but it is rather an open relationship." Mai frowns a tad at this declaration. What's an open reletionship, to use this man's words? She then recalls that the man had deemed himself a pervert during his prior introduction. Oh, that's what it means. And Kana's okay with that? But it's none of Mai's business, so she doesn't press the issue.

"So who are you two? You understand that the apprenticeship isn't a piece of cake. For shaman you will need to lift a lot, workout, meditate and practice spells. Shrine maidens have to practice archery and spells most of the time."

Mai nods toward Ryu impassively. "I am Mai, Mai Tukiko. Believe me, I have been training my entire life to join one of those," she nods toward the three higher heroes, "but decided against pursuing their apprenticeships for, ah, personal reasons. My prents do not approve of the path I have chosen to take, but it matters not to me." She silently hopes that none of the others will press the issue lest she enlist herself on a well-rehearsed rant.
