	'''Mai Valenti''' is a secondary character ~~appearing~~ in ~~both~~ '''[[Terra Vetus]]''' and '''[[Terra Novus]]''' — one of the most unique ~~figures~~ in the ~~'''~~[[Natura]]~~'''~~ franchise ~~due to her '''time-travelling''' nature~~.		'''Mai Valenti''' is a secondary character who exists in '''two versions''' across two timespans — the '''older Mai''' in '''[[Terra Vetus]]''' and the '''younger Mai''' in '''[[Terra Novus]]''' — connected by a '''time-travel recursion''' that makes her one of the most unique characters in the [[Natura]] franchise.

	== ~~Overview~~ ==		== Terra Vetus — Older Mai ==
	Mai ~~Valenti represents~~ the '''[[Sov'i Clan]]''' / '''[[Aeritra]]''' faction ~~axis~~. She ~~is supported by '''~~[[~~Gabriel Valenti]]''' in [[Terra Vetus~~]], ~~maintaining the Valenti family name across generations~~.		In [[Terra Vetus]], the older Mai is a secondary character representing the '''[[Sov'i Clan]]''' / '''[[Aeritra]]''' faction. She interfaces with [[PsiSys]] through the psionic traditions of her faction, giving her gameplay a cultural-psionic feel distinct from other characters.

	~~What makes~~ Mai ~~exceptional~~ is ~~that she appears in~~ '''~~two eras~~'''~~: as a secondary character in Vetus, and as a younger version of herself in~~ [[Terra ~~Novus~~]], ~~having time-travelled from her original era. In Novus, '''her older self serves as her own support character''' — a temporal recursion unique in~~ the ~~franchise~~.		Mai is the daughter of '''[[Gabriel Valenti]]''' ([[Terra Fathos]] secondary), continuing the generational relay pattern.

	== ~~Temporal Recursion~~ ==		== Terra Novus — Younger Mai ==
	Mai ~~Valenti~~ is ~~the only known character in the~~ [[~~Natura~~]] ~~franchise who~~ '''~~supports herself~~''' ~~across timespans:~~		In [[Terra Novus]], a '''younger version''' of Mai is part of [[Amber Tho'ra]]'s crew. This younger Mai is supported by her '''older self''' — the Vetus-era Mai who has traveled through time to guide her younger counterpart.

	~~{\| class~~=~~"wikitable" style~~=~~"width~~:~~100%"~~		== The Time-Travel Recursion ==
	~~! Era !! Version !! Role~~		Mai's temporal loop works as follows:
	\|-		* '''Younger Mai''' (Novus) encounters a mysterious mentor/support figure
	\| '''~~[[Terra Vetus]]~~''' ~~\|\| Original (older) \|\| Secondary character; supported by [[Gabriel Valenti]]~~		* '''She figures out it's her older self''' — Mai is '''too smart''' not to. She recognizes herself.
	\|-		* '''Older Mai''' confirms: she just says '''yes'''
	\| '''[[~~Terra Novus~~]]''' ~~\|\| Younger (time-traveller) \|\| Secondary character; supported by~~ '''~~her own older self~~'''		* They '''work together''' to stabilize the timeline's recursive nature — making '''minute corrections''' that ensure a better future
	\|}		* '''Others don't know''' about this temporal recursion — except when some '''[[Tho'ra Clan\|Tho'ra]]''' find out
			* The Tho'ra who discover the secret '''keep it''' — because "that's super fuckin' cool"

	This creates a ~~unique narrative~~ loop ~~— the~~ younger Mai ~~in [[Terra Novus]] has access to her future self's knowledge and experience, while the~~ older Mai ~~presumably chose to travel~~ back ~~(or forward) for reasons tied~~ to ~~the escalating cosmic conflict~~.		This creates a beautiful self-reinforcing loop: younger Mai grows into older Mai who travels back to help younger Mai grow better, creating an ever-improving spiral of personal and temporal development.

	== ~~Development History~~ ==		== Faction Representation ==
	Mai ~~Valenti was also connected to~~ the original plans for '''[[Travis Dekar]]''' — a scrapped Main Character of [[Terra Vetus]] whom Mai originally recruited. When Travis's narrative was dropped, Mai's role persisted and expanded to include her cross-timeline presence.		Mai represents the [[Sov'i Clan]] / [[Aeritra]] faction slot in both eras. In Novus, the younger Mai carries forward her family's psionic tradition while forging her own path.

	~~== Player Relationship ==~~
	~~In [[Terra Vetus]], when playing Mai's storyline, [[PsiSys]] interfaces through '''~~[[Sov'i Clan]]~~'''~~ / ~~'''~~[[Aeritra]]~~''' psionic traditions, creating a cultural-psionic gameplay feel~~.

	In ~~[[Terra~~ Novus]], the ~~player consciousness has evolved beyond PsiSys into~~ '~~''Universal Consciousness''', changing the nature of the player-Mai relationship~~.

'''Mai Valenti''' is a secondary character appearing in both '''[[Terra Vetus]]''' and '''[[Terra Novus]]''' — one of the most unique figures in the '''[[Natura]]''' franchise due to her '''time-travelling''' nature.

== Overview ==
Mai Valenti represents the '''[[Sov'i Clan]]''' / '''[[Aeritra]]''' faction axis. She is supported by '''[[Gabriel Valenti]]''' in [[Terra Vetus]], maintaining the Valenti family name across generations.

What makes Mai exceptional is that she appears in '''two eras''': as a secondary character in Vetus, and as a younger version of herself in [[Terra Novus]], having time-travelled from her original era. In Novus, '''her older self serves as her own support character''' — a temporal recursion unique in the franchise.

== Temporal Recursion ==
Mai Valenti is the only known character in the [[Natura]] franchise who '''supports herself''' across timespans:

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%"
! Era !! Version !! Role
|-
| '''[[Terra Vetus]]''' || Original (older) || Secondary character; supported by [[Gabriel Valenti]]
|-
| '''[[Terra Novus]]''' || Younger (time-traveller) || Secondary character; supported by '''her own older self'''
|}

This creates a unique narrative loop — the younger Mai in [[Terra Novus]] has access to her future self's knowledge and experience, while the older Mai presumably chose to travel back (or forward) for reasons tied to the escalating cosmic conflict.

== Development History ==
Mai Valenti was also connected to the original plans for '''[[Travis Dekar]]''' — a scrapped Main Character of [[Terra Vetus]] whom Mai originally recruited. When Travis's narrative was dropped, Mai's role persisted and expanded to include her cross-timeline presence.

== Player Relationship ==
In [[Terra Vetus]], when playing Mai's storyline, [[PsiSys]] interfaces through '''[[Sov'i Clan]]''' / '''[[Aeritra]]''' psionic traditions, creating a cultural-psionic gameplay feel.

In [[Terra Novus]], the player consciousness has evolved beyond PsiSys into '''Universal Consciousness''', changing the nature of the player-Mai relationship.
