OVA
Description
Maple, a prideful and sharp-witted catgirl with occasional arrogance, sports orange cascading waves of hair, piercing dark green eyes, and the distinctive curled ears and plush tail of her American Curl lineage. Her signature ensemble features a brown headband, a ruffled white blouse layered under a plaid waistcoat, a coordinating skirt, knee socks, heeled footwear, and a gold bell paired with a crimson bow at her throat.

Her personality blends mature independence with haughty edges. She fiercely cherishes individuality, resenting the "catgirl" label as reductive to her distinctiveness. Behind her confident facade simmers self-doubt, particularly about her singing aspirations—central to Vol. 3’s narrative as she confronts stage fright through allies’ encouragement. Classic tsundere tendencies surface through sarcastic retorts or aloofness veiling genuine care.

Environmental interactions expose vulnerabilities: an intense fear of darkness (a topic met with bristling defiance) and a delicate palate averse to spicy heat. Tech-savvy curiosity drives her to tutor others on mobile apps, though such lessons occasionally spiral into unintended mishaps like astronomical data charges.

Originating from the Minaduki household, she navigates communal life alongside fellow catgirls. The prequel OVA *Koneko no Hi no Yakusoku* captures her adjusting to newcomers Chocola and Vanilla during formative events like their first shared Christmas. Pride often clashes with reality—seen when guitar-shopping ambitions exceed her capabilities, forcing humbled requests for aid.

Her arc shifts from supporting player to Vol. 3’s spotlight, chronicling her musical growth. Dynamic rivalries, notably with prankster Azuki, forge habits like unlocked bathroom doors—a lingering precaution against mischief. As the sole catgirl selecting her own wardrobe, her fashion choices epitomize relentless autonomy.
