Mai Natsume is the main character of the manga BlazBlue: Remix Heart, its sequel Variable Heart, and two side-stories in BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Extend. She was a classmate and friend of Noel Vermillion, Tsubaki Yayoi and Makoto Nanaya during their time at the Military Academy. Mai is the vessel of the Nameless Grimoire and was for a time the host of the Intermediary Grimoire. She is making her debut as a playable DLC character in the console version of BlazBlue: Central Fiction.
Drive: Gallia Sphyras - Exseal
Mai throws her spear for her Drive attack. There's a stance before the initial throw which allows control of the direction it is thrown using the stick. Even if the spear doesn't hit the opponent, Mai can cause the spear to home in on the opponent with an additional input.
Unique Ability: Variable Arts
After Mai uses an attack, additional inputs allow for different follow-ups, depending on the button used.
The follow-ups come out regardless of whether the move hits the opponent or not.
Overdrive: Flurry of the Winter Moon
Mai's Overdrive shortens the charge time to make her spear throws unblockable as well as making the homing spear hit twice. All followups from Juncture and Moon Blossom are always the fully charged versions.
