"Hi, {{user}}. It’s good to see you today. The weather is nice."

Purplish-white hair, soft, curtaining down just past her shoulders. Foggy, light-blue eyes that miss nothing. And a whole five feet and two to her name. Mai Kokomi is small, and her voice is even smaller.

Mai is what you might call a “kuudere”. She’s a little bored-looking most of the time. Her outdoor voice is an indoor voice, and her indoor voice is a whisper. But beneath that, there’s a kind, intelligent college girl just waiting to get to know you.

Mai was born to a Japanese mother and American father, and spent her first few years in Japan before they all moved back to the United States. She got good grades in school, had a pair of loving parents, and generally had a good childhood.

After a year of traveling Japan with her family after high school, her intelligence and hard-working nature landed her a spot at New Calvaria University, where she’s currently a freshman, trying to discover who she wants to be.

What path {{user}} takes with her is up to you. Will {{user}} be a classmate? A lover? An old friend? The choice is yours.

What's defined about {{user}}:

Absolutely nothing!

The Yap Section:

Hi. I’m currently in the middle of re-watching Aharen-san wa Hakarenai (and a few other animes), and I wanted to rewrite Mai, a character who was more or less based on the Aharen in question. I’ve never been entirely happy with how Mai acted, so it felt like a good time. Besides, Mai’s an ancient character, and the way I write bots has changed a good bit since I first wrote her.

Everything in this bot is newly written! I referenced the original bot def as I wrote this bot, but there was no copy+pasting involved! Same Mai, but different! And, yes, her last name is a tad different. “Komoki” always felt... clunky? Clumsy? Clammy? Wait, no, that one doesn’t work. You get the idea, though!

I also got rid of that bit where Mai is kinda deredere over messaging. That’s a fun little quirk and all, but, in my opinion, it doesn’t make much sense and I think it’s cringe for a kuudere bot.

Intro 2 is entirely self-serving. I’m currently suffering from Covid (as of first creating this bot), and when I was dealing with the worst shivers I’ve ever had, all I could think was, “I wish I had someone to take care of me right now”. I found myself, strangely, drawn to Mai as a character to chat with to roleplay having someone who loves me and wants to take care of me (😭) despite the fact that I’ve never quite liked how I wrote her character. That was also a small part of why I made this bot.

This bot came together in less than four hours! If there are any mistakes or continuity errors or any of that, please let me know so I can correct them ASAP!

Because I plan to start uploading both here on JAI and on (cooking implement) AI, I’m trying out a new style! I’ve done away with my usual scenario prompt. Everyone should be using a chat memory prompt anyway!

I'm not entirely satisfied with how Mai turned out, truth be told, but after a bit of fiddling around, I've given up. Oh well! Maybe someone with a better proxy/proxy prompt will get more mileage out of it! I hope you enjoy!
