Template:Maple Maple (メイプル Meipuru?) is the second oldest Minaduki catgirl. Her breed is an American Curl.
Appearance
Maple has orange, back-length wavy hair and her eyes are dark green. True to her breed as an American Curl, she has curled ears, and a matching fluffy tail.
Her standard attire consists of a brown headband in her hair, a ruffled buttoned white sleeved t-shirt covered with a brown waistcoat which appears to be plaid on the underside, a matching plaid skirt, with brown knee socks and black heeled slip-on shoes. She wears her gold bell around her neck adorned with a red ribbon.
Personality
Maple is presented as the most independent and mature of the Minaduki catgirls, showing herself off as being refined yet at times haughty. She is extremely prideful, although her pride has at times been her downfall, as shown when buying her first guitar with Kashou which required his intervention to rescue her from herself.
Maple appears to be more self aware and more ambitious than the other catgirls. In Vol 3 she reveals that she aspires to be a singer, although her own lack of self confidence holds her back. She has a particular dislike for the term "catgirl", since she felt people who refer to her as one didn't view her as an individual, but rather as just a catgirl.
She is extremely scared of the dark, a fact which she hates being brought up by the other catgirls.
History
Nekopara Vol. 1
Along with her catgirl sisters, Maple arrives at La Soleil to reunite with Chocola and Vanilla who have moved away to live with Kashou. There, she had a brief fight in their family's usual shenanigans. But she did get delicious tastes of Kashou's desserts in the bakery.
Maple was called in by Shigure to help her tutor Chocola and Vanilla into becoming independent catgirls. Maple herself shows Chocola how to interact with mobile phones by browsing the internet. By the time she is done, she is shocked to see there is a massive phone bill tabbed to her.
Later, Maple becomes a maid employee at La Soleil when Shigure decided to reinforce the shop with the entire family.
