Maomao stands as a striking Sofubi figure in a dynamic, investigative pose. The Ookina Sofvimates edition presents her as a larger-than-usual representation, capturing her keen, curious expression and poised stance. The figure is crafted in soft vinyl with meticulous surface work to reproduce the textures of her Edo-period clothing. She wears a flowing kimono layered with an obi and decorative patterns, all sculpted to show movement in the long sleeves as if blown by a breeze. The detailing on the hair and hairpins is delicate, and her hair is styled into a traditional updo that frames her determined face. A small prop, such as a medicine jar or vial, is held in one hand while the other rests on her hip, enhancing her role as a keen observer and healer. The paint is carefully applied to highlight shading and depth on skin tones, fabric folds, and accessories, and the base is designed to support the pose without distracting from the character.

Maomao, the clever pharmacist's assistant of Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, uses her knowledge of herbs, medicines, and observation to uncover hidden truths in a city ruled by intrigue. In the narrative, she travels through the bustling markets and palace corridors, listening for whispers and analyzing strange symptoms and poisonings to deduce the cause of events. Despite her youth, her sharp mind and practical knowledge earn her trust and occasionally put her in danger as conspirators seek to thwart her discoveries. She often collaborates with others to expose schemes that threaten the balance between doctors, merchants, and officials, all while maintaining her independence and sense of justice. Throughout the story, Maomao's curiosity drives her deeper into a web of medicine, conspiracy, and power, forcing her to navigate moral gray areas, protect vulnerable people, and reveal the truth behind seemingly miraculous cures. Her journey blends wit, courage, and compassion, showing why she is essential to the narrative.
