• Maimu fled from the Traitor’s tribe as soon as the Traitor Lord started losing himself to the plague.
• Another thing that drove Maimu away was coming to blows with her brother Olev, who also started to become affected by the plague.
• Maimu is treated like the “baby” of Neph’s traveling group, despite technically being in the middle age-wise. She was also babied by her family pre-infection, even though she’s the second eldest.
• Relating to the above, because her family and friends have always been rather lenient with her, Maimu has this sort of unspoken belief that she can get away with almost anything.
  
• Since Maimu is abnormally small and not as strong as the average mantis, she’s learned to rely on her wits to get out of trouble. When this fails, however, she’ll freeze up upon realizing she can’t outwit her opponent. If she’s REALLY panicked, she’ll either try to run or physically lash out.
• Maimu knows how to fake-cry.
• Maimu tends to avoid the Queen’s Gardens AND the Fungal Wastes whenever possible.
• Maimu’s attitude does a complete 180 when she’s angry; she goes from cute and bubbly to cold and biting.
  
• Maimu tends to oversleep during stressful times.
• Maimu picked up a lot of street smarts from Neph.
