She furthermore has a variety of hand-to-hand combat maneuvers, such as a diving attack ("Flying Squirrel Dance") and a rushing cartwheel kick followed by an elbow strike ("Deadly Ninja Bees"). Mai's weapons are her "Fire Butterfly Fans" that can be used in close quarters and as projectiles. Her fighting style is to " float like a butterfly, sting like a bee". She can change her clothes in an instant, as well as to temporarily stay airborne, float, glide and control her movements and change directions in mid-air, and is also a master of climbing and stealth. These powers enable her to cloak herself in fire channel it through her clothes, weapons and anything she touches and cause explosions. Her first name, "Mai", is the Japanese word for "dance" and her surname is the title of a Japanese optical phenomenon similar to will-o'-the-wisp, in reference to the character's pyrokinetic abilities. As a girlfriend, she is gentle, kind and enjoying cooking (especially osechi dishes) and only occasionally losing her temper. However, she is also fond of modern foreign things, such as American style casual fashion and heavy metal music (her favourite band being Pantera). She deeply cares for her nation's and family's traditions, including battle outfits and ceremonial clothing, as well as having learned archery, calligraphy, koto playing, and performing the tea ceremony and the flower arrangement art.
