Mao is the half-beast princess of Bestia, distinguished by her animal-like ears and fangs, and serves as the true leader of the mercenary knighthood Weiss Ritter. She departed End-Earth for Earth to find Zero, inadvertently bringing Souma and Kureha back to her homeworld in the process. Her soul blade, the "Beast King Sword Lion King's Flame Dance," has fire properties and is Souma's preferred weapon (though not his Ultimate). Later episodes imply mutual feelings between Souma and Mao, but nothing culminates until the end.
