Character Name: mai valentine. Series: yu-gi-oh! Timeline: life re-evaluation. Canon Resource Links:history link.
Personality: when she's first introduced, she's a very selfish person who is only keen to duel for a payout of money rather than the love of the game. she seeks power and uses her arrogance to her advantage with how much she believes she can with by relying on her "psychic" method to play the game. in reality, she's used various perfumes on her cards so she knows which card is coming up ahead of time and appears to be psychic.
she's very vain and tends to use her looks to get the things she wants, especially from men. her confidence is very much a shield though because in her youth, loneliness and emptiness formed and ingrained itself without her due to parents who weren't there for her. she never really learned how to be a kind, caring person and that stuck with her all the way into adulthood. even when she's grown, she remains lonely and sad behind the mask of vanity. mai lets her despair take control of herself to the point that she considers the harpy ladies cards her only friends. it isn't until yugi muto helps her in the duelist kingdom tournament that she allows her walls to begin to come down. over the time spent with him and the gang, she slowly lowers her guard more and more until she finally feels as though she's made some actual friends.
as she opens up more and more, she even develops some feelings for joey wheeler but holds them close to her chest. she remains guarded about having feelings for someone and instead retreats into herself, using sass and teasing as methods to avoid breaching the subject with pretty much anyone.
in spite of the growth she displays thanks to yugi and the gang, she tends to let her loneliness eat her confidence away several times throughout the series. although she does feel like the others have become friends, mai lets herself be overwhelmed with emptiness when she attempts to duel marik ishtar. each time she loses a monster, due to it being a shadow game, she ends up alone and lost in the darkness of the shadow game. this brings back her despair and emotions about being mistreated by her parents and as though the friendships she formed were nothing more than something she built up in her mind.
strong-willed, mai has been somewhat forced to become an independent person who is not afraid to put in a day of hard work due to her parents and her abandonment issues. she is determined to show the world that she can make it on her own and make a name for herself in doing so. as such, part of her "take nothing" attitude causes her to be rather blunt when she needs to be— or is teasing someone joey wheeler. as time progresses, perhaps in large part because she does long for companionship and to be able to say she has "real friends," she opens up and becomes more compassionate and kinder than she previously had been when first met by the gang. it's through watching the gang being ready to do whatever they can for one another that she realizes they are her friends and she can also protect them if the need arises.
you can see that form of protection and kindness when she has a moment of charity as she gives her qualifying star chips to yugi muto so he can continue in the tournament to save his grandfather. she also shows some sympathy for joey and grants him her entry fee card so he can get in, too, because he wants to save his little sister. although she would deny it, mai has a moral code where she doesn't allow her friends— whether she admits to having them or not— get into binds they otherwise can't get out of.
