Mai Kawasumi

"...I'm a demon hunter."

- Mai Kawasumi

Mai Kawasumi (川澄 舞) is a third-year high school student with mysterious powers to bring things back to life and to heal injuries. These powers scare people away, so it prevents her from making friends. When she met Yuichi Aizawa, he wasn't scared of her powers and they played together.

Mai's theme is Shōjo no Ori (" Girls' Prison").

Appearance
Mai is a light-skinned girl with knee-length dark blue hair that is tied in a low ponytail by a long blue bow with fringes coming down to her eyebrows where the sides of her hair hanging down to her waist-deep green eyes.

When Mai was younger, she was short so Yuichi Aizawa gave her pink bunny ears. During the series itself, however, she is statistically the tallest and the largest female character in the series. Her physical size is most likely due to her sword work and muscle build.

She is usually seen wearing her school uniform and she is usually seen carrying her sword because she feels weak without it.

Personality
Mai is shown to be mostly shy and silent. For the majority of the series, she only talks to Sayuri Kurata (Mai's best friend).

Mai is also shown to be a constant eater, although she never gains weight. She is also shown to be very bad at the game called Shiritori.

She is very caring when it comes to her mother, Sayuri and Yuichi Aizawa, which is touched on during the flashbacks in which her mother was sick in the hospital and Mai cried and stayed by her side, before curing her with her ability.
