Mai is Emperor Pilaf's female follower. She always works with Shu and although she's quite intelligent (even more so in Funimation's dub), the two of them always manage to fail their objectives. She's a beautiful, calculating enemy who always resorts to weaponry and technology, her serious tone is a foil to Shu's comic personality.
