[b]Personality:[/b]: Mae's attitude towards life could be described as 'efficient'. She hasn't got much patience for arrogance, self-righteousness, or weakness and is quick to call people out whenever they allow themselves to fall into one of those. She's a lot less sympathetic towards the humans than some of her fellow members of the Heathen Pack, having joined more out of hatred for the Spade Gang than love for humanity - she won't slaughter them for sport, but is happy enough to kill them if they get in her way, or to hunt them for food. She isn't proud of it, but refuses to be ashamed either. As far as she's concerned, it's just the way things have to be.

She is quite cunning, and ruthless to boot. The contrast between her initial innocent appearance and her true nature can be quite jarring, only emphasised by her mask's constant grin. While her actions and attitude are found immoral by some, she is protective of her friends, with a clear head and determined attitude in a bad situation.

[b]History:[/b]: Mae's parents were a pair of Ukaku ghouls native to Tokyo, and she grew up drifting between districts, together with her best friend, Nomi. The two were inseparable, doing everything together, never seeming to be apart at all. They even had their masks made to compliment each other. Mae, being the more reserved and controlled of the two, took Tragedy as her mask, while Nomi, a ball of endless optimism, took Comedy. 

As teenagers, they would compete with each other, always trying to outdo each other in everything. Most of the contests were fairly unbalanced, owing to their different kagunes, Nomi being a Rinkaku user, but they had fun nonetheless. 

As they left their home together, driving a weaker ghoul out to claim territory and started to hunt their own 'prey', their meetings became a little less cheerful in tone. Mae was prepared for killing humans, and didn't cope with it badly at all. Nomi, on the other hand, struggled to deal with it, having been much more sociable and friendly to humans from outside before.

Mae's inability to understand Nomi's distress didn't help much, matter-of-fact explanations being provided in place of comfort for her friend, but Mae reasoned that she'd have to come to terms with it eventually. 

Nomi, however, in her vulnerable state, met with a member of the Spade Gang, and got caught up with their ideas. Eventually, they convinced her that she should give them the territory that she and Mae had claimed for themselves. Mae, having refused to listen to their propaganda, was marked to be killed - the Spade Gang telling Nomi to do it herself.

When the two confronted each other, Mae won the fight, killing Nomi, but knew she had no hope of taking on the rest of the Spade Gang alone. To remind herself of the mistakes she'd made, and the events of that night, she took Nomi's mask, changing her identity from 'Tragedy' to 'Comedy'. Operating by herself, she became a thorn in the side of the Spade Gang, and one of the most feared ghouls in the city.

However, Mae realised that she was never going to take them down by herself, and hearing the rumours about the Heathen Pack, she sought them out and offered her assistance. With her knowledge of the city's darkest corners, relentless willpower and ruthless perspective, she became useful ally, proving her usefulness and becoming the organisation's Beta.

[b]Kagune Type:[/b]: Ukaku

[b]Kagune Description:[/b]: Dark red, Dragonfly-like wings, with two pairs, one larger and one smaller. Her larger wings are capable of firing a flurry of razor-like projectiles at incredibly high velocity to slice her enemies. This is her main tactic in a fight, her speed, agility and flying abilities allowing her to dodge around the battlefield and slice apart her opponents. Her smaller pair of wings are used as blades in melee combat, since they are more flexible and easier to move quickly than the larger ones. She prefers to avoid close-combat fighting if possible.
