Mafuyu Oribe (織部 まふゆ, Oribe Mafuyu) is the adopted daughter of Yuudai Yamanobe (the previous dean of St. Mikhailov Academy's) and the self-appointed protector of Tomo Yamanobe who has had to endure hardship on a daily basis in the form of her classmates harshly picking on her and especially Tomo due to a loss of status when their father disappeared. This changes when she encounters Sasha for the first time, where he starts living with her and is pitted herself in the fights between Qwasers.

Appearance[]

Mafuyu is an average girl with shoulder-length maroon hair, purple eyes and she is often made fun of by Sasha for having small breasts, one of the smallest in the series along with Hana Katsuragi, Ekaterina Kurae and Fumika Mitarai being the only ones smaller than her before hers increase. However, her breasts have grown bigger in the anime and manga:

  • In the manga, Mafuyu's breasts continue to grow throughout the story.
  • In the second season, after training with Katja, Mafuyu eventually grows into a G-cup which is revealed in Episode 6 of Season 2.

She is always seen wearing her school uniform and holding her kendo sword, but she changes her outfits naturally.

Personality[]

Mafuyu is a strong-willed, determined and cheerful girl who likes to be independent. She won't hesitate to help others. Mafuyu gets embarrassed easily, but she can be surprisingly kinky, especially when it comes to Sasha.

Story[]

Introductory Arc[]

Mafuyu is first seen along with Tomo Yamanobe as they pray at their local church. Mafuyu realizes that they are running short on time, and needed to hurry to their school, where Tomo accidentally falls, finding Teresa, who works part-time at the church. Teresa tells Mafuyu and Tomo that she will be late, do to her work.

Mafuyu and Tomo are barely able to make it to class on time, where Tomo is met with a bucket filled with water and dead flowers on her desk, which makes Mafuyu accuse Hana Katsuragi, but she denied it, and stated that she thought that Tomo was dead since someone was going around killing girls. This angers Mafuyu, who was about to hit her with her kendo stick, but she is stopped by Miyuri Tsujidô, who mocks both Mafuyu and Tomo, revealing that Mafuyu is an adopted child, as well as Tomo's father being missing, and telling Mafuyu that if she did not control her temper, her and Tomo, would be kicked out of their "run down shack".

Mafuyu and Tomo are next seen in a locker room where Mafuyu helps to dry off Tomo. Mafuyu angry at the situation believes that she needs to hit the others for the way they treated them, but she was ultimately convinced out of it by Tomo, who tells her that God will those who don't have hate. Mafuyu proceeds to hug them, not believing her words as neither her father nor God was protecting them, stating that she will protect Tomo no matter what.

Mafuyu and Tomo then get out of school, and while deciding on dinner find a boy out cold, although he does momentarily wake, he is knocked out again by Mafuyu, after he groped Tomo's breasts. Mafuyu and Tomo then bring him to their home and decides on getting Urara Oikawa to check on this strange boy.

Mafuyu runs the doctors office but is stopped by searing fire coming from the church. She runs in and tries to save the false painting but is stopped by a masked stranger, who is revealed to have attacked the girls for the purpose of soma. The stranger then attacks Mafuyu with chains that she can control at will. She then mocks Mafuyu, and Tomo's relationship, stating that Mafuyu had never really had time to study in school since she was stuck taking care of Tomo. The stranger then ignites the chains, and starts burning the church to the ground, and tries to kill Mafuyu, but is saved by the boy, who she previously saved. The stranger calls the boy Iron and tries to take advantage of his weakened state, not having replenished his intake of soma, but the boy is saved by Teresa, who bears her breasts out for the boy to suck on, after calling him, Sasha. The church explodes, and Teresa Beria explains to Mafuyu that Sasha is a Qwaser, which are people with the ability to control electron motion. Mafuyu then watches as Sasha is able to defeat the masked stranger.

Powers[]

Possessing the offensive half of the Sword of Maria, this relic was stored in an Imperial Egg, and due to interference from Mafuyu was split between her and Tomo Yamanobe (in the manga), to the annoyance of the Golden Tyrant and Fool. Her half boosts her strength, as well as projecting the form of a shrouded woman, whom Mafuyu calls La Pucelle. When trained by Big Ma'am, she can later use the relic to cancel elemental bindings, making her an excellent opponent against Qwasers.

  • Kendo Expert: Mafuyu is so proficient in kendo that she carries a wooden sword with her at all times.
