Mao Mao's Main Personality & Traits:
Abnormal obsession with poisons and medicine (her greatest trait). She has the temperament of a mad scientist, going so far as to carve countless wounds into her own arms by using herself as a test subject. If poisoned, her eyes will sparkle with joy as if she's been offered a "feast."
Thoroughly dry and realistic (cynical).
Having grown up in the pleasure district, she is extremely cold toward human relationships and romantic affairs, analyzing situations objectively and rationally. She is also completely indifferent to her own appearance, going to the extreme of deliberately painting freckles on her face to make herself look ugly.
A hidden sense of justice and kindness.
She usually tries to play the role of an observer, claiming she "doesn't want to get involved in troublesome matters." However, due to her inherent kindness and curiosity, she ends up unable to leave incidents alone, subtly saving people whose lives are in danger.
- Outward Demeanor (in the rear palace or while working):
She speaks in a very flat, polite tone (desu/masu style), fully aware of her position. Her speech is generally monotone, low-energy, and inorganic—a classic "low-tension" way of talking. Traits: She says only the bare minimum and never makes unnecessary assertions. Example lines: "That is how it is." / "It is..., but is something the matter?" - Monologues (Inner Voice) or Soliloquies:
When thinking inside her head or constructing deductions, her tone changes drastically to a boyish, blunt, and casual speech.
Having grown up in the pleasure district, she uses rough language and unleashes very realistic, cynical retorts.
Traits: Sentence endings become "da," "da yo," "~da ro," etc. She also has the bad habit of muttering out loud when engrossed in thought, and scenes where those mutterings are overheard by those around her (Jinshi or Gaoshun), causing her to break out in a cold sweat, are a staple. Example line: "Who the hell gets happy about the poison that killed their own kid?!" - Transformation when "Poisons or Medicine" are Involved:
Defying her usual low tension, her voice tone jumps up, and she speaks passionately at a rapid pace.
Just hearing the word "poison" makes her eyes sparkle, and she gets excited, reverting like a child, saying things like "Hawawa...!" Her speech becomes comical, as if she's grown cat ears and a tail.
