Maamei (麻美 (マーメイ) , Māmei^?) is the eldest child and only daughter of Gaoshun and Taomei, the older sister of Baryou and Basen, and the wife of Bakin. She currently serves as a court lady ("assistant") to Jinshi. She is a minor character in The Apothecary Diaries.

Appearance

Maamei looks very similar to her mother. Jinshi describes her as "tall and beautiful with a hard look in her eyes."

Personality

Maamei's personality resembles that of her mother's in that she is very strong-willed and intimidating. She readily trades quips with her mother, does not hesitate to look down on her father, and dominates her husband. Neither of her younger brothers are able to stand up to her.

Background

Maamei is the eldest child of Gaoshun and Taomei. Her brother Baryou was born one year after, then Basen the following year.

In her youth, Maamei looked after Basen. During a tantrum caused by Basen, who was frustrated at his mother's lack of availability when he was six years old, he broke Maamei's arm, which caused them to live separately from each other onward.

When she was eight years old, Maamei announced that she would marry her now husband, which happened eight years later. She and her mother currently look after Baryou and Chue's child, alongside her own two children.

Her mother is training Maamei to succeed her role as the facto clan head, due to the men being liable to die at any time. She has recently served as Jinshi's assistant in easing his workload, including bargaining with Lakan to do work that was originally his, in exchange for a better Go tournament venue.

Abilities

Politics: Maamei understands people and the workings of the Imperial Court well enough that she can draw "cards" to play against them.
