History: http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Mao
Personality:
When you meet Mao for the first time, you can be under an impression that he’s a typical, cheerful, talkative, little, red-haired boy that apparently has no worries at all. He’s always optimistic, always smiling, always acting as if everything is okay. He almost never takes things seriously and is usually seen teasing everyone, regardless if they’re friends or strangers. He tends to tease friends more though. Sometimes he can be rude or even a little mean, but most of the time he’s nice to people he meets and tries to get along with them.
Mao acts a lot like a normal child. He can’t stay in one place for too long and pretty much does the things any other kid his age does. He also gets bored pretty easily and always talks, like he says, to liven up the atmosphere (at the beginning of the game he travels with people that didn’t talk too much). He absolutely can’t stand “gloomy” people, but even if he says that, it doesn’t stop him from teasing said people about their “gloominess”. However if he can’t get someone to talk with him, he can get annoyed and go look for something else to door someone else to bother. Another things that irritates him is when someone calls or treats him like a little kid.
Mao has a lot of hobbies, but his favorite thing to do is signing ridiculous songs that he comes up for his own or Annie’s amusement. He also likes ghost-stories. Or actually, he has a lot of fun telling those stories to people who are afraid of ghosts. If he finds out that someone’s afraid he will definitely tell them one (preferably when it’s dark outside and the atmosphere seems just right to tell ghost stories). But he also finds it amusing to make people believe in things that don’t exist. If he knows someone’s naïve enough to believe him, he won’t hesitate a moment to tell them the most ridiculous stories in the most serious voice and even giving them a seemingly reasonable arguments if they’re doubtful. Mao is really good at lying and he can make up a believable lie on a spot if he has to.
He also loves cute things and it doesn’t really matter if it’s a thing, an animal or even a person. He’ll love them all and will be exclaiming how cute they are. He even sometimes says that he himself is cute or can argue that he’s cuter than someone else. He can also use the fact that he’s cute to his advantage. Because who can blame a little adorable kid for anything?
The imagine of child with no worries is not exactly what Mao truly is. A year before the start of the game’s plot, Mao lost his memories and became a soldier, with Eugene being the Commander at that time. Since he had nobody beside Eugene (who saved him and took him in), Mao became attached to the Gajuma and quickly started to treat him as his father figure. Moreover, Mao never put much attention to his memory loss. He always claimed that he doesn’t care about the past, because it’s the future that matters the most to him. Yet it isn’t entirely true. The boy simply doesn’t like to worry the others; he wishes for them to be always happy and that’s why he himself smiles, talks, teases others and acts carefree. He believes that by doing so, he can make people around him forget about their worries. But Mao also has his own worries, he just rarely voices them. If he has a problem he prefers to deal with it on his own. He does all of this to keep others from worrying about him.
Yet, acting like this all the time is hard for Mao at some points. When he finally learns the truth about himself, that is, that he is not human, but a creation of Sacred Beasts, he can’t bring himself to tell this to everything, because he is both afraid of their reaction and also because he had a lot of doubts about himself. If I’m not human then what am I? This is something that Mao worries about the most and he has a lot of difficulties of accepting it as a fact. That is also why he keeps on searching for an answer, even though he knows he’s still himself. But no matter how much he is bothered by this problem he never tell about it to anyone, until later in the game, when he thinks it might be a goodbye with everyone.
When Eugene fallen victim to Geyorkias’ Impression, Mao was afraid that he might lose his father figure. The boy was trying his best to stay calm and think positively, while at the same time he refused to leave Eugene’s side. But worry and fear was clearly showing, no matter how much Mao tried to hide it. The thought that something might happen to Eugene was too much for the boy. When Eugene was cured, Mao cried from happiness, letting go of all the emotions he was holding inside. The situation shows that there are times when Mao can barely manage to stay optimistic, even though he still tires for the sake of others.
Despite the cheerful, sometimes even silly attitude, Mao is actually a wise boy, who is also a quite good judge of character. When situation gets serious, he definitely isn’t the one to act without thinking.
Another thing is that Mao is very kind. He cares deeply for those around him and is able to worry even for people he barely knows. He would never leave someone who needs help and can’t look at someone’s suffering. Eugene even once states that Mao’s kindness saved him many times.
Strengths:
Physical: Mao is a powerful mage, able to use Force of Fire. Though fire magic is not the only thing he can use; he is also able to use wind and darkness spells as well. Some of his spells are double elemental and his most powerful ones are Disaster Roar (darkness + fire), Fearful Storm (darkness + wind) or Blazing Hearts (fire + wind). But even without magic, Mao still can fight. He’s an expert when it comes to fighting with tonfa and even though he is not exactly strong physically, thanks to one of his force abilities he can double his own strength for a shot amount of time. Another thing is his ability to push away his enemies with his Force of Fire. His Force can be also used for a lot of other things, since it allows him to control fire at will and create it whenever he needs it. In the game he uses it mainly to burn or melt things.
One more of his abilities is to sense Force with his Force Cube. With this he is able to tell if other Force users are nearby and how strong they might be. Also, since he was made from fire, he seems to be completely fine even in the heat of the desert or volcano.
Mental: Mao is a smart little boy. He can use the situation and come up with a plan pretty quickly (like when he convinced the guard they need a boat, because they’re going to visit their mother in the capital). Even though he wasn’t around for too long (due to being actually created a year ago) he knows a lot and learns fast. He also keeps all the information about the enemies the party fought in his Battle Book, as well as the recipes and other things he find important.
He’s also very loyal to those around him. At the very beginning of the game he says that he left the army, because Eugene also left. He followed his father figure, even though that Eugene himself didn’t want him to do so. Mao was aware of the danger, but he still choose to accompany Eugene on his journey. Another thing is that Eugene left the castle because he was a suspect of a murder. Mao knew about that, but he still believed in Eugene.
It would be also interesting to add that Mao is quite a brave little boy. After entering the factory that was turned into a jungle by Tytree’s berserking force, the group sees a giant, creepy flower, that revives each time they burn it. When Eugene saw that Mao is afraid of a flower, he commented that it’s unusual for the boy to be afraid of something. In fact later in the game the only other thing Mao was afraid of, was to lose Euegene and to not be accepted since he’s not human.
Emotional: Mao is an optimist. He tries to see a good side to everything, no matter how bad the situation would be. He is also good at hiding his real emotions, but does that mainly to keep the others away from worries. He is far from both tactless or naive though. If the situation calls for it, he can be as serious as everyone else. He never means to hurt anyone with his words. If he realizes he did something like that accidentally he will definitely apologize them.
Mao is also the only character that seems to be able to calm Eugene down. When Euegene was affected by the Impression, Mao’s presence was the only thing that calmed him down. When the Gajuma lost his calm in Anikmal, Mao was the first to tell him that he is not acting like himself. Although the boy was also angered by the behavior of the people of Anikmal, who didn’t want to call a doctor for their sick companion, Mao was still more calm than both Eugene and Tytree. That proves that the boy can stay calm in most of the situations and can control his emotions if it’s needed. At that time, after all, it was more important to find the doctor than to argue with the people of Anikmal.
Weaknesses:
Physical: Mao isn’t exactly strong physically. He relies more on magic and isn’t the best choice for a close-ranged fight. Sure, he can fight like that without a problem, but he isn’t strong enough to win this way and long fights or a lot of physical effort tires him really quickly.
In fact out of all characters in party, Mao is probably the quickest to ask for a break or somewhere to rest. He also gets hungry really quickly, but doesn’t cook (even though he can cook).
His main weakness would be weather though. Although Mao is fine in heat, he is absolutely not okay in a cold or rainy weather. This is probably also caused by the fact that he was created from fire.
Mental: No matter how you look at it Mao is still a little child and there are still a lot of things he doesn’t know about. He often asks questions when there’s something he doesn’t understand. He also tends to act childish and can be sometimes both stubborn and a little careless.
He can act a little like a mean brat sometimes. A good example to this would be how he treats Hilda. Even though the woman is much older than him, Mao can bluntly tell her she’ll get fat if she eats too much or tell her she’s old or ask her how old is she. He doesn’t seem worried about being polite to his friends (he really is really mean though). However Eugene is a different case. Since he’s Mao’s father figure, when the boy acts careless, Eugene will scold him and Mao will usually agree with him, even if he’s reluctant to do so.
Mao is also the type of a person that will definitely do everything to prove his right. He doesn’t like to lose and can sometimes argue over silly things. His fights with Tytree can be really childish. To make things worse, once someone actually calls him a child, he instantly gets angry. The fact that Hilda calls him a child whenever she has an opportunity annoys him to no end, and so as in a revenge he calls her an old lady.
Emotional: Mao is too focused on thinking about others, that he rarely realizes how much he is suffering because of it. He refuses to worry others with his problem, which makes it difficult on him, especially in critical situations, when it’s too hard for him to keep on smiling and pretending everything’s okay.
Another thing is that Mao finds it hard to accept that he is not human. He tries to find the answer for the question of “what he is”, but the more he looks for it, the less he knows. He tried to ask his friends about what they think about someone who is not a human, but that also got him nowhere. Mao is also somewhat afraid that he might not be accepted if he’s not human.
