~Height: 5'
~Other: Mai always has an assortment of Kanzashi (Hair ornaments) including kenseikan, birra-birra/shidare kanzashi, hirauichi and a few others.

Personality: Mai tends to be apathetic and cold. She is manipulative and ambitious, especially in regards to her own goals. She is extremely proper, caring about precedence and things like that and she has an acute sense of propriety. She isn’t exactly arrogant, but she does believe in her own abilities. Pride is an important thing to her, and she will not allow anyone to step on her. Consequently honor and justice are also important to her, although sometimes Mai’s sense of justice is skewed compared to the normal sense. She is stoic, but can easily adopt emotions to get a point across.

History/Background: Mai was born into the Kuchiki family. She lived a life of relative luxury, and ease. Soon after being born, Mai’s parents were killed leaving her one of the only pure blooded Kuchiki alive. She was proclaimed the heir, and grew up as such.

Mai had only the best tutors growing up, and she easily made strides that people twice her age stumbled over. However it was only to be expected, and Mai didn’t think of herself as accomplished merely for the fact that she held high expectations for herself. Still, some considered her a prodigy, or at least the few people Mai associated with. She tended to stay within the family home at all times. Thus Mai spent her days either training and studying, or doing other appropriate tasks. She managed to master the art of ikebana (flower arrangement) and often times could be found practicing origami, calligraphy and sado (tea ceremonies). She also loved to spend her time dancing, especially odori.

When she was a bit older than seventy, she convinced the current Head of the Family to allow her to join the Gotei 13. Mai was made a member of the First Division. Despite having wanted a division which saw more action, she really enjoyed both the other Shinigami she was working with and the duties she was expected to handle.

That year the Head of the Kuchiki Family disappeared. Mai was never fully informed of the details, but from then on she was the new Head. It was a startling turn of events, Mai being the youngest Kuchiki to ever receive that title. She struggled for many years, but managed to stabilize things and proceed as was proper.

For awhile she remained part of the First Division, but after much deliberation she requested a transfer to the Kidou Corps due to her high skill in Kidou. She was satisfied with her earlier work but Mai wanted to do something that called to her, and it turned out that Kidou was one of those things.
