| — Satono Nishida and Mai Teireida to Reimu Hakurei (Hidden Star in Four Seasons Stage 5.) |
Mai Teireida (丁礼田 舞 Teireida Mai) is a servant of Okina Matara, along with her partner Satono Nishida.
General Information
Mai appeared as the Stage 4 Midboss, Stage 5 Boss and Extra Stage Midboss in Hidden Star in Four Seasons.
Personality
She has little memory of her time as a human, but has retained her personality. She is a bit of a scatterbrain, but is quick to take action. She also holds the distinction of using boku to refer to herself. Still, she acts for Okina's sake alone, seemingly not having the free will to question otherwise. [1]
Abilities
- Drawing out people's vitality by dancing behind them
Entrusted to Mai, it is not an ability of hers, but of her master, Okina. She draws out the latent ability in all things by dancing behind them, in this case vitality.
Occupation
Mai, along with Satono, are douji to Okina Matara. [1] Okina describes the job as a fixer, helping Okina maintaining the balance of Gensokyo from behind the scenes. Okina compared the job to being "her precious arms and legs." Okina also mentions that she swaps them out with new humans, periodically, implying that both of them are successors to previous douji Okina has had. [2] According to Okina, a Teireida is in charge of lifeforce[3], a job Mai currently occupies.
Species
She and Satono appear humanoid, but their species and Okina's extra dialogue indicate that the two currently aren't human,[4] and Yukari also points out that they're in the verge between human and youkai. [5]

○５面ボス 危険すぎるバックダンサーズ 爾子田 里乃 丁礼田 舞 種族：人間（？）
しかし、性格は人間だった頃のままで、舞はおっちょこちょいだが行動力がある。
今回の背中の扉は、自分の後継者を探すためだと言う事を二人は知らない。 もし、本当のことを聞いていたらどう行動しただろうか。 手足となり働く二人だが、二人の能力もまた、隠岐奈の能力の一つに過ぎない。 |
Stage 5 Boss: The All-Too-Dangerous Backup Dancers Satono Nishida Species: Human (?) A pair whose purpose is to draw out the latent abilities of all things. Okina's subordinates. However, their personalities are the same as when they were human. Mai is a scatterbrain, but she's quick to take action. Their dances aren't meant for people to enjoy, and are in fact quite eccentric. The two of them don't know that the doors on people's backs are meant to search for their own successors. If they did happen to find out the truth, what action would they take? They serve Okina as her loyal servants, but their abilities, too, are nothing more than an extension of Okina's. |

Background Information
Origin

Name
Her first name Mai (舞), unlike the PC-98 character Mai, is written in kanji and translates as "dance". Her surname is Teireida (丁礼田) and is, in order, written with the kanji for "even number", "town block" or "town ward", "gratitude", "ceremony" or "worship", and "rice field". The character for "rice field" is shared in the surname of her partner, Satono Nishida.
Design
Mai has Reseda green hair, cut short with two long side locks, and pea colored eyes. She wears a Kazaori-eboshi, a smaller type of eboshi that has been folded. She wears a dotted dark green dress with short sleeves. Her sleeves have a black cuff and rose lace. The bottom of the dress is also adorned with the same rose lace. Her dress has a black high neck collar, connected to a white bertha collar tipped with rose lace. She wears a white half apron fastened around her waist with the same rose lace. There's a row of yellow buttons and bows along the front of her dress, starting at the bertha collar, overlapping the apron, down till the edge of the dress. On the bertha collar and apron there's one small yellow bow, and a big one lower on the apron that ends with tassels. She has black kneesocks and green shoes with short heels. She hold a bamboo stalk with her right hand. Mai's as well as Satono's design and pose is presumably based off the clothing and pose of the two servants of matarajin as seen in this woodblock print.
Appearances
Games
Emerging alongside their master, Okina, she orders her servants to find others worthy of serving her. To do so, they plant doors on the backs of others and empower them, to bring out their best and test them. What they don't know, however, is that they aren't searching for allies, like Okina told them, but for their own replacements.
She is the boss on non-Wednesday together with Satono.
Relationships
Okina is Mai and Satono's master. They are vessels of her power, acting as extensions of her and unflinchingly obeying her orders. They are becoming less human due to Okina's influence. They have little memory of their past, yet maintain their personality. Whether because they're no longer useful or she pities them, Okina seeks to replace them, which she has periodically. However, after failing to find successors, Okina says she is fine with retaining them. Satono and Mai do not know they are even searching for their own replacements.
Satono is a fellow servant under Okina.

- The silhouette of Mai, along with Satono Nishida and Okina Matara, appear on the jewel case for Hidden Star in Four Seasons.
- Mai and Satono are the first Windows-era non-final or extra bosses to appear on the game's jewel case.
