Masha

Maria Mikhailovna Kujou, also known as Masha, is a supporting character in the series. She is a second-year student at Seirei Private Academy, serving as Secretary of the student council. Maria and Alisa were born in Russia, and their first language was Russian. Maria stayed in Russia until Alisa was five, then moved to Japan until Alisa’s fourth year of elementary school (fourth grade), and moved back to Russia to finish elementary school. Maria moved back to Japan when she was fifteen and Alisa was fourteen, for her last year of junior high school. Though it it unknown what part of Russia the Kujou sisters were born in, Maria spent part of her life in Vladivostok. Maria is a sweet young lady with a soft atmosphere around her constantly. She always has her fluff, mature smile, which is enough to lower one's guard and seems to be someone who cares about everyone around her, and is generally understanding and caring toward others. Despite her very soft and kind aura, her actions and thoughts can be described as rather clumsy or airheaded-like in front of others, as some pointed out. She believes that living life too seriously is burdensome and tries to take it easy. Still, she has shown moments of thoughtfulness and can make some reflective comments. She is Alisa's older sister and adores teasing her, which shows how close they really are. Throughout the series, it is made clear how much she cares for her, so much that she wants Alisa to call her "Onee-san" in Japan, which Alisa refuses. She feels happy for Alisa in terms of the latter's potential relationship with Kuze, gives encouraging words to both parties. Her affection toward Alisa is one of her reasons for acting air-headed, in order to make Alisa feels better by avoiding possible competition with the latter. Unlike her sister, Maria is often quite difficult to read.
