Talk:Mai

name origin
Here's what we know. If Mai was wearing red Shing Jea Armor instead of blue Canthan Armor I'd say she was probably named after Mai Shiranui, but her outfit's a lot closer to Mai Kujaku. I'll just put in both names to be safe. -- Gordon Ecker 20:14, 26 August 2006 (CDT)
 * ArenaNet has both CCG fans and Fighting Game fans.
 * Mai Shiranui is a martial artist who wears a red dress with some kind of giant tail on it, red gloves and red sandals, and has brown hair in a ponytail that goes down at least to her knees.
 * Mai Kujaku is a CCG player who wears a blue jacket, a black camisole, a blue skirt with a black belt, black and blue gloves and, IIRC, black and / or blue boots. She has waist length blonde hair.
 * Mai is a martial artist who wears a black and blue vest, a black bra, black and blue gloves, a blue skirt with a black belt and black and blue boots, she has brown hair in a ponytail down to her neck.
 * Jinzo is probably named after one of the monsters from Yu-Gi-Oh.

Mai means 'dance', which is appropriate for the fluid attacking style of the assassin class. It possibly has no connection other than that. Metasynaptic 21:04, 19 June 2007 (CDT)
