Nitori, Maho

二鳥真穂

Maho is Shuuichi's older sister by one year and shares a room with her. At the start of Hourou Musuko, she is in the sixth grade of elementary school. Maho is a devoted fan of a teen model named Maiko, and because she deeply desires to meet her, Maho submits her photo to a modeling agency and is soon hired as a young model at the same agency as Maiko. Maho shows a strong interest in clothes and spends a lot of her money on new apparel. After she starts to become recognized as a model, Maho enjoys the added attention from being asked for her autograph by complete strangers. While initially starting out slow in modeling, Maho soon gains confidence in her abilities and becomes friends with Maiko and two other models, Anna Suehiro and Tamaki Satou. In contrast to her younger sister, Maho is very outspoken and tends to be rough with Shuuichi, even hitting or slapping her on some occasions. Maho is very displeased about Shuuichi's cross-dressing and gets angry and annoyed when she finds Shuuichi dressed as a girl. Maho often forces things on Shuuichi with little consideration of her opinion. Once in junior high school, Maho becomes attracted to her classmate Riku Seya and eventually starts dating him.
