Mai Minakami (水上 麻衣 Minakami Mai) is a character from Nichijou.
Personality[]
Mai is expressionless at almost all times, with rare appearances of smile, anger or regret on her face. Her deadpan humor leads other people to wonder what is going on in her head. Mai behaves randomly at times, which confuses her friends. She likes Maitreya statues, and is sometimes seen carving them.
Her biggest personality trait is her love for playing pranks on people (Mostly Yuuko, but many other people as well) just to annoy them. Examples of these include deliberately putting her glasses on top of a card tower that Yuuko and Mio made, staring at her friends for a very long time during a game of "Red light, green light", and even tricking Yuuko into thinking she loves her more than a friend, just to embarass her and see her reaction. She will even play pranks on her dogs (For example by shooting a frisbee she threw at them just before they catch it), and will go as far as to play pranks on herself when she is bored and no one is around.
Mai uses a wide variety of jokes, which can vary from puns or practical jokes, to the usage of rather complex props or borderline bullying. Despite that, she seems to care about her friends, as shown when she smiled after a heated argument between Yuuko and Mio ended with a handshake and a hug. On the other hand, Mai has a habit of often ignoring her friends or leaving them altogether to do other things. She will also never play pranks on children intentionally, including Hakase.
