The granddaughter of a great military genius, Maemi was raised with lofty ideals and a lot of pride in her family's tactical history. She was raised by her father, a kindhearted man trying to raise his daughter despite his family's declining wealth and status in the post-Tragedy world, who had to take a job as a salaryman for the Mihara Corporation to make ends meet.
