Character Name: Maomao Kan Canon: The Apothecary Diaries Character Blurb: Maomao is a student at Everwave who works at a family-run pharmacy and that is also her primary hobby. Her only interests are in "making medicine" and "testing poison" (these are simply two sides of the same coin) and she lives for the pursuit of novel sensations induced by toxic substances. She will not hesitate to put something dangerous and/or questionable in her mouth if she thinks she will learn something from it or if it will feel interesting. She is a known certified freak at school for all of these reasons and also because she keeps planting weird stuff (medicinal herbs. and some other things) in the school garden. i regret to inform you all that modern AU Maomao is one hundred percent a Hot Sauce Guy and she's not even in it for the taste
Code Name/Domain/Combat Type: all n/a the only thing she turns into is a magical talking cat
Awakening: N/A, she won't be starting the game awakened! Present Life: Maomao lives with her adoptive father Luomen, who was once a highly respected doctor but ultimately had his license revoked over a malpractice case in which he was not actually at fault. No longer a practicing doctor, now he owns a rundown pharmacy across the street from the Lucky Stars Arcade where Maomao works as both his apprentice and his only employee.
Much like in canon, she was born and mostly raised at Verdigris House as the courtesan version of "raised by a village" and has a complicated relationship with her biological father's family. Luomen is technically her great-uncle on her father's side, but due to a series of It's Complicated situations, and has adopted Maomao as his daughter and accepted her as an apprentice, if only because he knows that Maomao making drugs is a matter of when and not if and he'd better keep her pointed in the right direction while she's still young.
Despite her income level falling well below the average student at Everwave Academy, it was precisely her biological father's family's connections that got her into the school, and while she can't stand being surrounded by whiny rich kids, this school provides her with unprecedented opportunities to study pharmacology as a high school student and the promise of even better higher education in that field. So even though she sucks incredibly hard at studying for or caring about anything that isn't in her special interest category, she is motivated to get halfway decent grades to stay on track to graduate and not get kicked out of school.
Her lack of money means she can't afford the expensive school uniform, so she commutes in street clothes. Like Haruhi from Ouran, only more rude. Privately she is relieved because she doesn't actually want to wear the school uniform. Past Life: she was a magical talking cat and assistant to the ship's doctor on the Nashira. that's pretty much all i got for her, but if this provides a convenient hook for your character in some way, let's run with it
In-Game Plans: Maomao is here as my self-indulgent NPC because i wasn't initially planning on playing a PC here and also because every magical girl group needs a mascot. she's mostly here for funsies CR with you guys and as a convenient plot device when i need one. Pre-Established CR Hooks: classmates from school (bonus points if you're another way-less-than-wealthy kid), regulars at the pharmacy, people who have seen her put questionable things in her mouth, folks from the red-light district where she grew up — i am down for all of it! Desired CR/Hooks: i love any and all Maomao CR but i think her negative CR with people who are trying to make friends with her is peak comedy. if you need someone to be callously blunt or solve an obtuse mystery for you, she's your girl
