Maya and Mary's Profile

Name: Mei-Qui Hosokawa and Mei-Ya Hosokawa

Preferred Name: Mary and Maya

Monster Parent: Yosei—he goes by Seihiko Hosokawa or Bao-Jian Jin, depending on the circumstances. He's thinking about going by Rhys as his western name. [For the record, Mary has a Japanese name, too: Akiko, which goes in theme with her Chinese name, as both are related to autumn. Maya can actually write her name in kanji, so she doesn't have a strictly Japanese name.]
Our step-mother is a jiang-shi. Father took her in and revived her son as one. Then, he had to artificially age the boy.

Age: 1686

Killer Style: (Maya) Because my wings are on my head, I can wear whatever I'd like. I like to show off skin. I just love detached sleeves and arm warmers! I know how everyone enjoys a little zettai ryouiki, so I normally wear stockings under my shorts and long boots (I usually shoot for grade B).
(Mary) Well, my wings are on my back, which sort of limits the option of styles of dresses and shirts I can wear. My clothes are always low-cut in the back. Like Maya, I enjoy detached sleeves, arm warmers, and long gloves. I also love zettai ryouiki (especially grade B to A—especially grade A on other people).

Freaky Flaw: Well, for starters, we can feel everything either of us experiences. We mean EVERYTHING, so that leads to some awkward situations. So, we've learned to suppress our emotions.
(Maya) My plans always blow up in my face. Sometimes, figuratively.
(Mary) Have you ever heard the phrase, “Curiosity killed the werecat?” Well, let's just say I'm glad I'm not a werecat.

Pet Peeves: We kind of hate it when people consider us a unit, but we're aware it's for convenience. Also, we really hate it when people say we can't possibly be twins because we're not identical.
(Maya) I hate it when the male athletes try to hit on me.
(Mary) Everyone assumes I'm only into ghouls. I like men, too!

Favorite Food: (Maya) I don't really have a favorite food.
(Mary) I love potatoes. I don't care how they're cooked—just make sure they are cooked.

Pets: (Maya) A tanooki named Tom.
(Mary) I have a rat. He's albino, and his name is Ralph.

Favorite Subject: (Maya) Home Ick, believe it or not. Sewing is relaxing, and I love cooking.
(Mary) Mad science and chop [trying for the shop pun] I always want to know how things work.

Least Favorite Subject: We both agree on this. We hate physical deaducation.

Friends: Kirei actually gets us. She treats us like different people.
(Maya) I'm crushing hard on Operetta. She has a beautiful singing voice, though I wish she'd sing opera or at least show tunes. Mm. . . I could imagine Kirei and Operetta performing "Last Dance" together. "The last dance belongs to me. . ."
