Backstory
Maiyami was born in San Diego California and had similar conditions to Mai, such as her little brother dying, and Drefku being a speed addicted psycho. the difference between her and Mai, while Mai killed Drefku, Maiyami refused to. and she ended up being emotionally and physically abused for the next 3 years. She was then kicked out of the house at 11 years old. where she wandered San Diego for a few days, until she eventually stumbled upon Alt Nozomi. who would later become her best friend. They both started a grunge band, and while her playing was terrible, Alt Nozomi tried her best to help her.

Nozomi and Maiyami’s band. Originally named “Flower Flow” was a huge success. For the next few years they went on tours and even though Maiyamis playing was shit, they kept playing. A while after this, Maiyami renamed the band “Aetheral Divinity.” And kept playing, they also created a new member from a machine known as the A.C.D, a device that Maiyami created herself. During this time, Nozomi was creating a pastel outfit for Maiyami, and Maiyami loved it so much it ended up being her signature outfit.

A week later Aniwave, the new member. Was starting to get irritated about Maiyami, the more she played, the angrier she got. Eventually, a day later she berated Maiyami and doing so completely broke Maiyami’s motivation to play and also broke her spirit. Aniwave then kicked Maiyami out of the band and renamed the band “Divine Flowers” Nozomi noticed this and was furious, but still played. Maiyami meanwhile, was producing a song of her own titled “Sick To The Stomach” which was a song that she wrote that consisted of her playing a licc over and over again while she rants about how shitty her playing was and contemplating suicide.

Nozomi meanwhile, was getting more and more fed up with the band. It didn’t feel right without Maiyami. Aniwave didn’t even regret kicking Maiyami out, she kept complaining that Maiyami’s outfit was “garbage” and “didn’t fit grunge so she wasn’t grunge” and all that nonsense. Nozomi was irritated but did her best to ignore her. Aniwave began to notice this and after one of their performances, took Nozomi backstage and beat her up. Nozomi was pissed and asked why she kicked Maiyami out. Aniwave responded and said it was because her outfit was “trash” and “didn’t fit the grunge style”. Aniwave then called Nozomi a “Kurt Cobain wannabe” and a “wench” enraged by this, Nozomi grabbed her guitar. A black Thunderbird bass guitar and slammed it into Aniwave’s face. She then left the band entirely and went off to search for Maiyami.

Then three years later, Maiyami went missing.

Maiyami had continued falling deeper and deeper into a depressed state, and her mood had changed completely. She began injecting herself with heroin and had a number of failed suicide attempts. Her dreams were crushed, her life was in shambles and she started experiencing hallucinations. Nozomi had continued searching for Maiyami and put missing posters around town, asking people where she had gone.

Out of pain and anguish, Maiyami fled to North Carolina and hid away in a shack. Where she attempted to overdose on heroin and die. Nozomi continued her search for Maiyami, but she gave up and went into isolation.
