Mayu Sumimori (住森 麻夕) was in charge of the accounting and intelligence gathering for the CCC, in which she went under the code name Eleven (イレブン). However, after she was deemed to be no longer useful, she was left to be killed by the organization, but she was saved by the F Squad and restarted her life outside the CCC.

She comes from a wealthy family who had connections to the CCC. She has an inferiority complex due to having beautiful parents and sisters, and she doesn't feel as pretty as her name sounds.

History
Mayu Sumimori comes from a wealthy family, she is the third child born to Katsuki and Saki Sumimori. Her older sisters are Mana and Kaori, and her younger sister is Mio. Ever since she was a child, her father always fussed over her sisters but never her. Mayu says it was because her whole family was beautiful except her. While her father was very protective of her other daughters while Mayu didn't get any attention, she decided to get a job to save up money since she had only holed herself up in her house either way. Mayu's father had connections to Kirio Kikuhara, so Mayu was able to get a job at the CCC. Although Mayu's family were told that Mayu would only do clerical work at a trading company, she was, in reality, working for an organization aiming to exterminate devils from the world. Mayu hadn't given the job a serious thought, but Kikuhara said that he was looking forward to working with her. Somewhere between this time, Mayu appeared to fall in love with him. She then became the CCC's accountant.

Appearance
Mayu is a young woman with a light and fair complexion. She has straight dyed light-blue hair, which is nape-length with middle-parted bangs. She has light colored eyes and wears makeup. After some events, Mayu gains weight and develops a fuller figure and plumper lips. She occasionally has her hair tied into a ponytail with her bangs held back by two hairclips at each side, in which her hair has grown longer. She has inherited most of her father's appearance, and is noted to have looked exactly like him before he had plastic surgery. Mayu also doesn't feel beautiful and is planning to get plastic surgery as well.

Personality
Although Mayu is the account of the CCC, she is clumsy and not good at detailed work as she often makes mistakes. When she was in the CCC, Mayu followed Kikuhara's (Zero Two) ideologies about exterminating devils from society and strongly supported the Plan B (The Ikebukuro Incident). She was obsessed with Kikuhara and deemed everything he did was right. So when people disobeyed him, Mayu was seen to be highly cruel and violent, furiously beating up Zero Nine when he was against Plan B. She didn't care if the other CCC members died, only if they could be useful to Kikuhara. Mayu is therefore noted to be very arrogant and pretentious. She is very blunt and is not afraid to say what she thinks, especially when it revolves around people's poor working skills.

After deserting from the CCC however, Mayu became truer to herself. She is noted to be like her father in terms of personality, cowardly and fragile. She cries easily when she gets called out on her mistakes and is not above cursing at people who look down at her, such as Mana. Because of her father's comment on how ugly she is, and because her whole family is beautiful, Mayu developed an inferiority complex and is determined to get plastic surgery to become the most beautiful in the Sumimori family. She works very hard to earn money so she can pay for it herself. This shows that Mayu is hardworking in her own way.

Mayu is also very emotional, she always wears her emotions on the sleeve. She tends to overthink and overreact in different situations. She is very flustered and giddy in her love's, Makimura's, presence. Mayu is sometimes dishonest with her feelings and at other times she is quite direct and doesn't beat around the bush with her words. When she falls in love with someone, she takes their words into consideration more than she takes from someones else. When she fell in love with Makimura, it was genuine, and not an obsessive, fake love like her attraction towards Kikuhara.

Mayu deeply cares for the people she holds close, and appears to be kind and energetic. But she is not very smart and has difficulty learning hard, sometimes even basic things. However, Mayu is good at housework and is confident that she will be able to handle that, though she claims she might become bored with it sooner or later.

Kirio Kikuhara
Mayu claimed to be in love with Kikuara, she was highly obsessive with him and did everything that was asked of her, if it was for his sake. She would often act in her own way and on a whim if it would please Kikuhara. Though she felt like she was deeply connected to him and they trusted each other, all of it was one-sided. Mayu's love for Kikuhara didn't seem to be genuine, as she seemingly only loved him because he was "perfect", so when he messed up the Plan B in a way, Mayu was angry that he wasn't "perfect" anymore and her feelings towards him faltered.

Takeshi Makimura
Makimura and Mayu were in the CCC together, and they were never above scolding each other when the other person did something wrong. Mayu also didn't particularly like Makimura and saw him as quite scary and unapproachable. However, after he helped her recover from an injury, Mayu started to develop some feelings for him. However, she was in denial of her own feelings and ensured that she only liked Kikuhara. However, when they started to spend more time together to investigate matters regarding the Ikebukuro Incident, Mayu saw a different side of Makimura and truly fell in love with him. He was kind to her and ensured that she was naturally pretty when Mayu spoke out of her desire to get plastic surgery. However, their relationship took a turn when Makimura was ordered to kill Mayu by Kikuhara. Since Makimura didn't want to kill her, he left her in a near-death state instead. Later, Makimura then apologized to her and told her to ignore the people who commented on how she looked through a broadcast, which deeply touched Mayu. Later when Mayu saw when Makimura was in a near-death state himself in the aftermaths of the CCC raid, she took him home and sought medical attention from her own family. During the time Makimura stayed over at her home, Mayu took care of him and helped him rehabilitate, so they developed an even stronger bond and Mayu fell more in love with him, which she confessed twice. She desires to stay by his side and support him. While Makimura isn't sure of his feelings and has yet to give Mayu an answer regarding his feelings, he is also heavily implied to have feelings for her. Currently, they have a very close and deep bond of trust and they are very comfortable with each other. Makimura is the only person Mayu has genuinely liked.

Trivia

 * Mayu has a very rough way of speech, but she doesn't know when it happened. Mayu thinks it's probably traces of her delinquency in her teens.
