✩ born and raised in tokyo, max has known little more than royal prep courses and prin

✩ worked hard to please his parents growing up, always seeming to come up short, reg
✩ ardless. doesn't have a good relationship with his family, and wishes that he wouldn't
✩ have to ever take over the throne; never wanted to be royalty, and isn't shy to make
✩ it known. his parents are hoping that this program can change his mind/attitude.
✩ goes by max rather than mahiro for sake of fitting in, americanizing his name in orde
✩ r to give himself a chance at creating a new life. was raised fluent in both english an
✩ d japanese, so there won't be any language barrier, at least.

✩ is often told by others that he comes across as cold and uncaring, his reserved nature
✩ easily misinterpreted; while appearing aloof, max is actually quite affectionate, but
✩ struggles with expressing his emotions. won't initiate physical affection, but is secretl
✩ y quite fond of cuddling, hugs, holding hands, running hands through hair, etc.
✩ max is someone who finds it easier to be alone rather than among others, always stru
✩ ggling to trust others and their intentions (a skepticism that he was brought up with,
✩ being royalty). however, behind his many barriers, max is actually quite clingy, devoti
✩ ng himself entirely to whoever earns his trust. when around those he feels comfortabl
✩ e with, max is all smiles, sarcasm, and laughter, things which are otherwise rare.
✩ is very excited about this program in america, ecstatic to be anonymous/unknown.
✩ as someone who struggles with expressing his emotions, max likes to show his affectio
✩ n through his actions, always doing sweet-little-nothings for those he cares for.
✩ despite his straight-faced attitude and reserved nature, max can actually be quite whi
✩ ny and vocal if given the chance; while twenty years old, he can sometimes come acro
✩ ss as 65 or older, quick to complain about having to do anything strenuous or about bei
✩ ng too warm/cold. at the same time, he can also appear to be a child, unconsciously p
✩ outy and easily excitable when it comes to things he's truly passionate about.
✩ despite his deep rooted desire for independence, max is actually quite bad at taking c
✩ are of himself; he can't cook (will probably burn down the kitchen if he tries), and mo
✩ re often than not forgets to eat all together, too focused on whatever he's working on.
✩ while typically timid and reserved, max can be quite defensive when it counts, quick t
✩ o lash out at those who insult him or someone he cares for. since he isn't one to like co
✩ nflict, and is small/slim in stature, max is more likely to use harsh insults and curses to
✩ hurt others (rather than his fists).
