From Romero's Mai Shiranui Shrine:

The granddaughter of the great Hanzo Shiranui, leader of the Shiranui ninja clan and master of the deadly Koppo-ken style, Mai was raised in a small village where everyone was destined to become a proficent ninja. Mai wasn't the exception, and she was trained soon on by her grandfather. Ever since she was just a young girl, Mai was a very pretty child, so lots of boys and young men tried their best to impress the precious Mai. But Mai dismissed everyone as weak candidates for her. She was too much of a tomboy to accept any sort of male figure in her life.
That was, until a young American boy came to the village in search of Hanzo. The small kid, with blond hair, asked Hanzo to train him in the ways of Koppo-ken. Hanzo was impressed that this boy was sent to him by his old friend, the Hakkyoukuseiken master Tung Fu Rue. Hanzo began to train the little boy, who called himself Andy Bogard, while he transfered his granddaughter to his other old-time friend, Jubei Yamada, who would continue teaching Mai the ways of Shiranui Ninjitsu (since Jubei was way too familiar with the Shiranui ninja style). But the curiosity about this new kid haunted Mai ever since she was sent away from her grandfather. Mai decided to find out by herself who this new boy was.

Instead of hatred and being resentful, Mai totally fell for Andy the moment she laid eyes on him. Andy, besides being strong, dedicated, brave, and skillful, was also one handsome boy! Day after day, Mai would take small breaks from her training sessions to check in on Andy. But Andy was too concentrated in his training, since his ultimate purpose was to exact revenge on the man who killed his father, the evil criminal Geese Howard. Mai was worried that Andy might lose his life if he fought with his feelings up front...

Several years had passed, and both Mai and Andy have grown into fully developed young people. Mai herself has grown to be a VERY beautiful woman who was very desired by many men. By this time, Mai's love for Andy was confirmed as a true feeling, but Andy was already making plans to travel back to his homeplace, Southtown, back in the United States. The time had arrived to reunite with his older brother, Terry, and demand justice from Geese. Mai begged Andy to stay, even proposing marriage to Andy! But Andy's hatred blinded his judgement, and went anyway. Mai was left stranded in Japan, but she knew that Andy would have to come back sooner or later when he had finished his business with Geese.

It wasn't before long that Andy returned to Japan to continue his training. Unfortunately, Hanzo had already died, so Andy had to train by himself this time. Andy was fairly disappointed for not being able to defeat Geese by himself, and that he had to give way to his brother Terry, because Andy was driven by personal emotion and not by his fighting spirit. Mai intended to comfort Andy during his era of sorrow, but Andy was already focusing on a future rematch with his brother Terry, which would soon arrive since a new tournament was being held, this time by a famous German noblesman called Wolfgang Krauser. "The King of Fighters" would be the main focus of the fighting scene, and Andy knew Terry would be there. But this time, Mai would not be left behind so easily. This time around, she would do anything she could to follow Andy wherever he went!
