Personality: Mai can easily be distracted by the smallest of things, depending on how hard she's working. However, she will not be taken away from her reading, no matter what. She is kindhearted, imaginative, and witty, often appealing to many people. She can make friends easily because of her charm and loyalty. She absolutely adores dogs and taking long walks/jogs with her dog. Sometimes she can be found daydreaming or just in her own little world, until someone snaps her out of it.

History: Mai's parents are both professors at a well-known university, and her siblings are all getting into higher paying jobs like the medical field, or following in their parents' footsteps. She's the youngest of five, and as she grew up, she always had things to live up to. Her sisters' brains and looks, her brothers' intellect and strength, her parents' success. The only thing that took her away from all of that was reading. The first time she picked up a book, she was no older than three and she fell in love with it almost immediately. It began with simple children's books, but as she grew older she got into thick books, especially in the fantasy genre with magic, dragons, elves, and evil kings. As she read, it was like she was seeing all of the things herself, and she had an urge to create it. Through high school and college, she took creative writing classes, and literature, wrote short stories and poems. Though her parents looked on it with disapproval, they accepted it and supported her, helping to pay for her classes and any books she needed. 
After graduating college, Mai moved to East Village because of its appeal and a small store that was for lease. Seeing its potential, she rented an apartment there and turned the empty store into a small bookstore and ran it mostly on her own, with the exception of the occasional teenager that wanted a summer job there. After discovering that the apartment complex allowed animals, she rescued an Australian Shepherd. He's been her best friend and loyal companion ever since; they're pretty much inseparable.

Dog: Cooper
