Description
Maple is an American Curl catgirl, distinguished by her curled ears and fluffy tail. She stands 157 cm tall with orange wavy hair reaching her back and dark green eyes. Her typical outfit consists of a brown headband, a ruffled white buttoned shirt beneath a brown waistcoat featuring a plaid underside, a matching plaid skirt, brown knee socks, and black heeled slip-on shoes. A gold bell with a red bow adorns her neck.
Personality-wise, Maple exhibits a refined, independent, and mature demeanor compared to other Minaduki catgirls, though she can display prideful or arrogant tendencies. She speaks frankly while remaining attentive to others. Her refinement includes strong etiquette and table manners, coupled with notable technological proficiency that makes her the most adept with devices among her peers. This pride sometimes leads to difficulties, such as overspending on brand-name items like a guitar, requiring intervention. She dislikes the term "catgirl," feeling it diminishes her individuality. Notably, she is easily scared, particularly of the dark, insisting on keeping all lights on for nighttime bathroom trips. She also possesses heightened sensitivity to hot foods.
Maple's background unfolds across the *Nekopara* series. *Vol. 0* showcases her intellectual curiosity and familiarity with human culture. In *Vol. 1*, she reunites with Chocola and Vanilla at La Soleil patisserie, temporarily tutoring them for bell certification. Her technological knowledge surfaces while teaching Chocola about mobile phones and internet use, resulting in an unexpectedly large phone bill. She later becomes a permanent employee at La Soleil. *Vol. 2* depicts her in a more peripheral role as a polite and efficient waitress.
*Vol. 3* centers on Maple as the primary heroine, focusing on her aspiration to become a singer. This journey involves confronting significant self-doubt and a lack of confidence. With encouragement from Kashou and support from Cinnamon, she gradually works towards this dream, marking key character growth. Her bond with Cinnamon is particularly strong due to their shared ambitions. In *Vol. 4*, she participates in the Minaduki family's Christmas preparations.
Additional details note her independence in fashion choices, being the only Minaduki catgirl not dressed by Shigure. A past quirk involved stripping completely and leaving the door wide open when using the bathroom, linked to a traumatic incident where Azuki locked her inside. She reacts distinctively when touched on sensitive areas, singing the first four notes of Beethoven's Symphony No. 5.
