Mao, as one could expect from his last name, was raised and born in China. His mother was a delicate, kind woman with a temper, as most of Mao's female relatives seemed to have, but his father.. well, his father was a Japanese man his mother met on a trip to the U. S. The two were both there to sight-see in New York and, even if they both were mediocre at English, they both seemed to hit it off quite well. Nuo-Mu ended up staying a year longer in the states than intended, long enough for Ryuu and her to learn how to speak their middle-ground language and then, eventually, marry. They had little drama, up until Nuo-Mu begged for them to raise their children in her hometown, determined to allow her future children to grow up with her family in close range. Ryuu was reluctant, but the man didn't have many relatives in Japan who he was very close to, so he agreed. Thus began Mao's father living a pretty isolated life in China as he hardly understood the generally spoken language or even the culture, not to mention few wanted to associate with him.. But, he was still rather content with his wife and kids, one of which included Mao.

Mao was born as the middle child and second son of the family and turned into the oddest of the lot. He wasn't home very often growing up, but that didn't mean he had many friends. Oh, no, he was actually generally disliked in his school – not that he cared much. He had learned to ignore what other's thought from his father, but.. that was probably the only thing he really picked up from his parents. Everything else came from his dear grandmother on his mother's side, a woman who not only loathed Ryuu, but was rich and just a generally disliked woman all around. Mao grew rather attached to her at a young age due to her spoiling him and ignoring the rest of the siblings – his older brother was too lost to save, according to her, and his sister was already a daddy's girl. So, it only left Mao to be coddled, not that he minded one bit. He didn't have that many friends because of his haughty attitude, true, but he was pretty much guaranteed a good job at his grandfather's trading company when he got out of school.

While Min-Ya seemed to still be alright with him, Tai-Qiang couldn't stand his pride and harsh, uncalled for criticisms for most who crossed his path. It wasn't until Mao decided to bite into Tai-Qiang's wife verbally that the man turned on Mao and started a fight that neither would forget. It took only that for Mao to cut his ties with his brother and leave to a large city for work in his grandfather's company, while Tai-Qiang did the same as he went to the most rural parts of China he could think of. Min-Ya traveled between the two, but his sister was always a city girl at heart and ended up staying with Mao more often than not, which the man always saw as a sort of victory. A year later and Mao decided that he rather enjoyed medicine – not because he liked helping others, but diseases and things of that like fascinated him. His grandmother encouraged him and even paid his way through a medical school, leaving the savings Mao had gathered through work untouched in the bank. Ah, but, the man had gotten himself into a debate during one of his classes with his professor, that ended in him essentially deciding he would rather go against everything that that man believed in just to piss him off.

Thus started his venture into alternative medicine, which he actually found to be much more interesting than the more standard medical treatments. Acupuncture, aromatherapy, and remedial cures became his main focus of study, all while somehow passing medical school with good enough grades. Some believe the man just didn't have much of a life outside of school to distract him, while others would claim his grandmother bribed half of his grades – either way, he sides with whatever causes more of a reaction in people, so it's hard to say what actually got him where he was at. He became a popular doctor in the city – surprisingly enough – but, of course, his life couldn't remain as smooth as that, could it? At some distant great, great, great aunt's funeral, Tai-Qiang and Mao both happened upon eachother and easily started a heated argument that ended in both leaving the funeral prematurely, but, unlike Tai-Qiang, Mao got a new idea stuck in his head. He couldn't stand the idea that a simple farmer had thought him better than Mao, so, the man decided to prove his sibling wrong and that farming was a chore anyone could manage. That was how he decided to move from China to someplace small and little known for his experiment in farming – to Nirvani Island. Him taking his brother's eldest child with him was just rubbing salt into the wound.

Ah, but, unfortunately for Mao, he didn't really end up as the farmer he had hoped to be. He could hardly grow anything without it dying like that pathetic plant it was and he found his first interest, medicine, coming back to mind every other minute. So, he decided to open up a clinic on the remote island to keep him occupied while he worked on bettering his agriculture skills. He studied his favorite style of medicine, lived quietly with a bundle of lesser individuals, and actually found that there were a few gems in town to captivate him. One of which was a reluctantly charming Freja von der Bach, though he would hardly ever admit to it because of her insistence on calling his science 'magic'. A few things lead to another and one experiment on a new fertility treatment lead to Freja giving birth to Mao's first and probably only child – Xochiquetzal von der Bach Xiqui. He attempted a marriage with the woman at some point, but the two quickly discovered that they honestly couldn't stand each other at such a close range and divorced. So, he simply went on in his own life as running his clinic, seeing to his daughter every other season, and discovering innovative ways to cure his own boredom - which actually did something during the next decade. His series of books Tadpoles & Fried Newts came to be known as a fairly decent cookbook for the bored and possibly mentally deranged! Not what he was aiming for in the least, but it still gave him some money and pride.
