Not affiliated with the Arachna military, he is a "lone rider" with his partner, Brutus. He made a promise to find the purple spider Portia, supposed to be Brutus's younger sister, and this promise keeps him joining the ranks of Arachna. He later joins up with Hunter and the others to prevent the Invectids from stealing the Oracle Keys. He is somewhat obsessed with rescuing Portia from the Invectids. Magma is a great admirer of the hero Quake; each time he sees Quake in action, he has tears streaming from his eyes. His weapon is a mace that can switch to a flail. <br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Spider_Rider_characters" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Spider_Rider_characters" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Spider_Rider_characters</a>
Kawaguchi published her first manga at 13. Now 6 years have passed and she has yet to produce anything else. Thinking she doesn't have enough experience to write about anything, she decides to change that. Noticing that boys' love and girls' love manga have been popular recently she decides to ask a former co-worker out to get some inspiration. Her penname is ��明日香 (same reading).
In the anime, it is revealed that Maira, a former Pawn, became a Bishop by gaining the ÄRM Vaqua. He is not given a backround in the manga. Maira is a black-cloaked masked man who takes pleasure in engulfing and digesting people with Vaqua. Vaqua is a blue/green slime-like Guardian ÄRM with one eye. Maira is first seen watching the War Game battle between Ginta Toramizu and Garon. During the second round of the War Games, Maira reappears as a fighter for the Chess Pieces. He has the last of the battles in that round, and goes up against Dorothy. Maira is quick to falsely judge Dorothy's power, though he easily destroys one of her weaker Guardians and stalemates another. Dorothy, however, calls back this one to bring about her favorite, Toto, which eats Maira's Vaqua. Maira, now ÄRM-less, begs Dorothy for mercy. Dorothy, however, doesn't do as such and has Toto eat Maira as well, becoming the first casualty of the War Games.
A member of Arc Aile who, like Cisqua, chose to use weapons rather than Edel Raid, Maina is an old friend of Cisqua. She appears in an episode of the anime to bring Ren back to HQ as the main Arc Aile trio uses the disguise of a vacation to help find Edel Garden. It turns out she was controlling a Sting Raid that was attacking people on the ship through song, but in the end Cisqua uses the song against her and has to kill her to prove her dedication to Ren. Cisqua also claims that Maina is the better sniper, but worse at everything else.
Maina is the mother of Moena and part of Angel Blade.
Macha is the cat character that appears in .hack//SIGN and other .hack series.

She lures Tsukasa to a secret area, where Morganna can then manipulate him. After the events of SIGN she takes on the form Mia who resembles an older version of herself dressed as a warrior, and goes on adventures with Elk to find aromatic grass because Elk resembles the boy in her dreams(Tsukasa) who gave her aromatic grass in the first place. In .Hack//GU Endrance(an adult Elk) has the power to summon her true form into battle.
