Maple

Maple is a petite high school girl with a height of 145 cm.

She has short black hair and an ahoge that stands out.

Her youthful and cute appearance makes her popular both in-game and at school.

Her main armor is usually black with red accents, and she carries a large shield.

Maple is cheerful, honest, and very friendly.

She gets along with anyone quickly and always acts on her ideas, even if they are surprising to others.

She is easy-going, sometimes a little clumsy, and tends to do things nobody expects.

Maple is lucky and often finds rare items.

She loves fun things and isn’t very strategic or ambitious.

Whenever she makes a mistake at school, she feels embarrassed and sometimes takes a break from the game.

Maple's real name is Kaede Honjō.

She was introduced to "NewWorld Online" by her close friend Sally (Risa Shiramine).

Being a total beginner, Maple chose to specialize in defense because she hated taking damage.

Her player name "Maple" is simply her real name in English.

Maple puts all her status points into VIT (defense).

She uses a large shield and gets amazing defense skills that make her almost invincible to normal attacks.

She is very slow but makes up for this with helpful skills and the support of her friends.

When fighting monsters, Maple isn't afraid to use bizarre strategies, like eating her enemies to get special skills.

She can use powerful attacks like "Hydra," and her defense skills are so strong that even game admins worry about game balance.

Her main weaknesses are low basic attack, slow movement, and poor resistance to attacks that bypass defense.

If out of skill uses, she becomes mostly just a hard-to-move object.

Maple's biggest weakness is dealing with pain, both in-game and in real life.

Sally is Maple’s best friend and partner in-game.

Iz, Kuromu, and other friends are part of her guild, "Maple Tree."

She takes care of Syrup, her pet turtle, who was born from a special egg and helps with travel and fights.

Other strong players like Payne, Mii, and Frederica see Maple as a rival or a legend.

Her popularity makes her famous, with even message boards dedicated to watching her adventures.

Maple sometimes falls asleep instantly after getting into bed.

Her pet turtle Syrup can grow big and even fly, letting Maple rain down poison from above.

She has lots of fun and wants to enjoy every event, not just fight.

In the mobile game "White Cat Project," Maple has appeared as a playable character.

"I’m Maple, the guild master. I’m very confident in my defense and poison attacks! Nice to meet you!"

Starting the Game

Maple begins playing "NewWorld Online" with Sally’s encouragement.

She chooses the unpopular "Great Shield User" class and puts all her points into defense.

She doesn’t care about speed or attack power, which makes her move slowly but never take damage.

Gaining Skills and Items

Maple does things her own way, like letting rabbit monsters attack her for an hour.

Later, she lets poisonous bugs swarm her while she sleeps, which gives her strong defensive skills.

During her adventures, she fights a poison dragon and survives by using meditation to endure the poison.

She then eats the dragon, gaining both “Poison Immunity” and the rare “Hydra” skill.

Becoming Famous

In the first big event, Maple can't chase others because she's slow, so she waits for players to come to her.

She defeats everyone who attacks her with her unbeatable defense and her new poison skills, earning 3rd place without a scratch.

Her surprising strength and unique style make her the talk of the game, and people online call her the “Walking Fortress.”

Overcoming Weaknesses

After an embarrassing day at school from being tired, Maple takes a three-day break from the game.

She continues to grow stronger, gaining more skills from strange ideas and lucky events.

With help from Sally and other friends, she learns to overcome her slow speed and limited attack power.

New Adventures

Maple and Sally defeat the hidden boss Silver Wing and get the “Legendary Beast Egg.”

This egg hatches into Syrup, a turtle that becomes Maple’s partner.

Syrup can fly and fight, making travel and battles easier for Maple.

Game Challenges

Maple’s playstyle is wild and always surprises other players and even the game developers.

Her defense-only build is actually very hard for normal players to copy because most would get bored or stuck.

Game developers keep changing the game to balance her skills, but Maple keeps finding ways to get stronger.

Her enemies have started to focus on using attacks that can bypass or ignore her defenses.

Guild Life

Maple forms the guild “Maple Tree” with Sally and their friends.

With her team, Maple’s weaknesses are covered, and together they take on strong bosses and dangerous events.

Impact on the Game World

Maple’s fame brings more players and money to the game.

Her adventures even inspire game changes and new features from the developers.

She becomes the game’s mascot – everybody knows about Maple and her crazy playstyle!

Maple values friendship and always tries to have fun rather than follow the usual way to play.

She proves that thinking differently can lead to victory, and sometimes luck is just as important as skill.

Her strength comes from a mix of unique ideas, luck, and a willingness to try anything—even if it means eating a boss monster!
