Mai was born as Mai Hazuki, the male heir to the Hazuki family under [[Houichirou Hazuki]] and [[Rin Hazuki]]. He was trained in the assassination techniques of the Kirihito family, becoming acquainted with [[Shiori Kirihito]]. After coming into contact with the [[No-Name Grimoire]] in the Hazuki library, Mai was transformed into a woman and ran away, ashamed of what had happened. She changed her last name to Natsume and enrolled into the [[Military Academy]] one week later than usual. She developed her super-taste ability around this point, and became unable to eat most ordinary food.


===Remix Heart===
Mai is, above all, kind and considerate for her friends, and is willing to do anything to help them and to keep them from harm. The Hazuki heiress is brave to a fault, and is willing to put herself in harms way to protect friends and family. Mai is sincerely kind to just about anyone and will give up her own possessions to strangers if she believes it will help them.
Once she had joined the Academy, Mai became fast friends with [[Noel Vermillion]], [[Tsubaki Yayoi]], and [[Makoto Nanaya]]. She joined them for the [[Ars Magus]] aptitude test where Noel scored the highest marks in the Academy. The aptitude tester short-circuited as Mai accessed it, so [[Estella McKenzie]], who was presiding over the event, decided to temporarily put Mai on a bridal course for future years. She soon found her way to her dorm after being warned by both Makoto and Tsubaki to eat before dinner since Noel was cooking. When she returned to her dorm, she met [[Kajun Faycott]] who began drawing various lines on her despite her protests. Mai learnt this was for data collecting since Kajun wants to learn everything she can. They both went to the cafeteria for dinner, where Kajun revealed that Noel made "death dinner". Mai took a taste and fell in love with Noel's cooking - later on, the group decided to bathe together, but Mai fainted once she saw their naked bodies. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 01''</ref>


===Central Fiction===
She struggled for some time to come to terms with her transformation from a man into a woman, but has come to accept what has happened; for some time, she kept this a secret from her friends, terrified of what they would think of her. Recently, she has begun to long for others to accept her as human since she has become a [[Remix Heart]]. Mai, unlike many other nobles, also fails to be racist towards [[beastkin]], [[Half-Beastkin|half-beastkin]], and [[Demi-Human|demi-humans]]. When still new to being a woman, she had a slightly perverted side.
Like all the other [[chosen]], Mai was absorbed into the [[Embryo]] alongside Kajun. Mai was ordered to Kokonoe’s lab, and was given data pertaining to a mission that involved contact with Noel, Tsubaki, and Makoto – Mai accepted although decided to wait on getting back into contact with them. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 015, Sub Scenario 1''</ref>
Like all the other chosen, Mai was teleported by [[Nine the Phantom]] to Ikaruga, far from where she was in Japan. She found Noel by a roadside and took her to a small house where she looked after her. When her former classmate came to, she explained the events that had just transpired to Mai. After some begging, Noel gave into Mai’s desire for some food that her supertaste could withstand. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 041''</ref> The following day, they ventured together to Kazamotsu, and although they enjoyed the atmosphere, their enjoyment was cut short by Hazama, who had come to take Noel. Mai fought Hazama but was soundly beaten by his mastery of the [[Geminus Anguium: Ouroboros]]. For the second time in her life, Kagura came to her rescue and they went with him to Yabiko. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 050''</ref> There, they met with Kokonoe and Tager, both of whom Mai had not seen in a while, so she enjoyed the reunion. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 007, Chapter 055''</ref> She was directed by Hibiki much later on to an airship where she would be sent to guard [[Homura Amanohokosaka]], the Imperator of the NOL. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 080, Sub Scenario 1''</ref>
Mai was last seen in the new world created by Ragna, helping Kajun and Litchi bring Platinum to the latter’s clinic. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 012, Chapter 100''</ref>


==Abilities and Techniques==
Her relationship is strongest with Kajun, who she cares immensely for. The two are close enough that they have been known to innocently sleep next to one another, and they are rarely seen apart. Mai also has a close relationship with Taro, and there are hints of an unexplored romantic attraction. Mai undoubtedly trusts the both of them with her life.
 
She has a strained relationship with her father, [[Houichirou Hazuki]]; her father's obsession with pure power has driven a wedge between the two, and Houichirou has sent numerous assassins after her just to test her strength. Mai is closer with her mother, [[Rin Hazuki]], who cares deeply for her daughter, and the two train together. Despite this, Mai never responded to the letters Rin sent her daughter while she was the Military Academy.
 
==Powers & Techniques==
Since her childhood, Mai has been trained in the assassination techniques employed by her family's branch, the Kirihito's. She is capable of numerous acrobatics, has good stamina, and is generally physically fit. She has considerable skill with a rapier and main gauche, being capable of fighting with both in conjunction.
 
Mai has the technique called '''{{h|Super Taster}}''' which enhances her sense of taste to detect the feelings of food and those who prepared it. This has turned into more of a hindrance than a blessing as Mai finds most normal food to be essentially inedible, and only can only eat the food made by [[Noel Vermillion]] with any satisfaction. At some point, Mai was also the [[Intermediary Grimoire]], which allowed her to transfer abilities between individuals if she kissed them, but she lost this ability upon becoming a Remix Heart. As she is fused with the [[No-Name Grimoire]], Mai has the ability to enter a mode that makes her faster and stronger, turning her pupils into white squares. She can also use this ability to turn into any other Grimoire, such as the [[Azure Grimoire]] or even a [[Nox Nyctores]] - Rin believes that within a week, she could also learn [[Vision]] with her power.
 
Currently, Mai wields the [[Legacy Weapons|Legacy Weapon]] - [[Gallia Sphyras: Outseal]], a spear which has taught her how to wield it. The weapon has the [[Immortal Breaker (Ability)|Immortal Breaker]], allowing her to kill individuals like [[vampire|vampires]]. Outseal can change direction mid-throw, and can be summoned by Mai afterwards. Although considerably skilled with Outseal, Mai is not strong enough to evenly fight individuals such as [[Hazama]].
