Duelist Kingdom

• In episode 3, Mai Valentine uses this card when she challenges Rex Raptor to a game (if Rex wins, Mai will do whatever he wants, but if Mai wins, he has to clear out of his own room and give it to Mai). The challenge was that Mai had to guess what will be the cards under her Deck from top to bottom. This card was the second card that Mai guessed correctly on. Thanks to her Aroma Tactics, Mai was able to win and throw Rex out.

• In episode 6, Mai uses this card during her Duel against Joey Wheeler. After this card is summoned, it gained a Field Power Bonus. Mai then uses this card to attack and destroy Joey's "Masaki the Legendary Swordsman" as EARTH cards lose their Field Power Bonus if they battle against a WIND monster. Joey's "Tiger Axe" then attacks this monster, but this card destroys "Tiger Axe" due to the latter being an EARTH monster. Mai then equips this monster with "Cyber Shield", increasing its ATK by 500. This card then attacks and destroys Joey's set "Kojikocy". On Mai's next turn, she activates "Elegant Egotist" to Tribute this card and Special Summon "Harpie Lady Sisters".

• In episode 25, Mai uses this card during her Duel against Téa Gardner. After summoning this card, Mai uses this monster to attack and destroy Téa's "Petit Angel". On the next turn, Téa attacks this monster with "Fairy's Gift", but Mai activates "Rose Whip" to equip it onto this card and increase its ATK by 300. This card then destroys "Fairy's Gift". On the sixth turn, this monster attacks Téa's "Shining Friendship", but Téa activates "Waboku" to prevent "Shining Friendship" from being destroyed and negate all Battle Damage that would've been inflicted to her. Later Mai equips this monster with "Cyber Shield", increasing its ATK by 500. She then activates "De-Spell" to destroy the "Silver Bow and Arrow" that was equipped onto "Shining Friendship". This card then attacks and destroys Téa's set "Magician of Faith". This activates the latter's Flip Effect, allowing Téa to add "Silver Bow and Arrow" from her Graveyard back to her hand. After equipping "Shining Friendship" with "Elf's Light" and "Silver Bow and Arrow", Téa activates "De-Spell" to destroy "Cyber Shield" and decrease this card's ATK by 500. Téa's "Shining Friendship" then attacks and destroys this monster (although Mai could've used "Harpie's Feather Duster" to make Téa's attack backfire at that point but ultimately chose not to). Mai chose to surrender the duel after this card got destroyed, so Téa won the duel by default.
  • During the Duel, a second copy of this card can be seen in Mai's hand.

• In episode 28, three copies of this card can be seen when Mai is shown organizing her Deck for her upcoming Duel against Yugi Muto.

• In episode 29, Mai uses this card during her Duel against Yami Yugi. She summons this card on the first turn of the Duel. Yugi's "Gaia The Fierce Knight" then attacks this card, but Mai activates "Mirror Wall", negating the attack and halving the ATK of "Gaia the Fierce Knight". Mai then equips this monster with "Cyber Shield", increasing its ATK by 500. This card then attacks and destroys "Gaia The Fierce Knight". Yugi's "Summoned Skull" then attacks this card, but Yugi forgot "Mirror Wall" is a Continuous Trap Card. As a result, "Mirror Wall" negates the attack and halves the ATK of "Summoned Skull". Yugi sets "Spellbinding Circle" and intends to activate it when this card attacks. Mai then activates "Harpie's Feather Duster" to destroy "Spellbinding Circle". Yugi then switches "Summoned Skull" to Defense Position and summons "Feral Imp" in Defense Position. Mai then equips this card with "Rose Whip", increasing its ATK and DEF by 300. This card then attacks and destroys "Feral Imp". Later Mai's "Harpie's Pet Dragon" attacks and destroys Yugi's "Summoned Skull". Later Mai activates "Shadow of Eyes" to switch Yugi's "Dark Magician" to Attack Position and force it to attack this card. "Mirror Wall" then negates the attack and halves the ATK of "Dark Magician". Mai then activates "Harpie's Feather Duster" to destroy Yugi's set "Mirror Force". "Harpie's Pet Dragon" then attacks and destroys Yugi's "Dark Magician". In the next episode, Mai explains to Yugi that a Duelist can learn more from a loss than a win and this is enough to convince Yugi to let Yami Yugi Duel without any problems. Yugi then activates "Brain Control" to take control of "Harpie's Pet Dragon". He then summons "Catapult Turtle" and uses its effect to Tribute "Harpie's Pet Dragon" and destroy "Mirror Wall" as well as inflict damage to Mai equal to half of "Harpie's Pet Dragon's" ATK. Mai later activates "Elegant Egotist" to Tribute this card to Special Summon "Harpie Lady Sisters". Later Mai draws another copy of this card, but she chooses not to summon it yet. This proves to be a mistake for Mai as Yugi then Ritual Summons "Black Luster Soldier" which attacks and destroys "Harpie's Pet Dragon". Mai notes in her mind that if she had summoned her second copy earlier then her "Harpie's Pet Dragon" would have been able to destroy "Black Luster Soldier". Unwilling to see her Harpies be destroyed, Mai forfeits the Duel, so Yugi wins by default.
  • In the first above-mentioned episode, this card appears in a flashback Mai has when she notes to herself that she initially came to the Duelist Kingdom just for excitement. However after she met Yugi, her life had changed as she had been given the warmth of friendship.

Legendary Heroes

• In episode 44, Mai uses this card during her coliseum duel against Joey Wheeler. She summons this monster in Attack Position. Joey's "Flame Swordsman" then attacks this monster, but Mai activates "Mirror Wall" to negate the attack and halve the ATK of "Flame Swordsman". Mai then equips her monster with "Rose Whip" in order to increase its ATK and DEF by 300. This card then attacks "Flame Swordsman", but Joey reveals himself as he recognized Mai and her cards. Mai then stops her monster's attack and decides to help Joey, Yugi Muto and Mokuba Kaiba by having this monster get Niwatori so that they could use it to get through the desert.

• In episode 45, Mai summons this card when she and her friends summoned monsters to fight the monster who were guarding the "Castle of Dark Illusions". She then equips this card with "Rose Whip" to increase its ATK and DEF by 300. This card, "Giltia the D. Knight", and "Dark Magician" then attack and destroy the many monsters that were attacking. Later a fiery dragon attacks the flying machine and Mai recognizes it as "Darkfire Dragon". Mai them equips "Cyber Shield" onto this card and uses it to attack and destroy "Darkfire Dragon". Due to the machine already malfunctioning and breaking apart, Yami Yugi summons "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress 1" to take the gang to the castle. Mai then activates "Elegant Egotist" to Tribute this card and Special Summon "Harpie Lady Sisters", who immediately take "Dark Magician" and "Giltia the D. Knight" with them to the castle. Later during the battle against the "Mythic Dragon", Mai summons this card and uses "Elegant Egotist" to transform this card into the "Harpie Lady Sisters", but the monsters were immobilized as the area the heroes were in doesn't allow non-Dragon-type monsters to attack.

The second copy then attacks directly, but Joey activates "Scapegoat" to Special Summon four Sheep Tokens. Mai then activates "Nighmare Tri-Mirror" to Special Summon four "Copy Tokens" (as Joey Special Summoned four monsters) with the same stats and appearance as this card, but forbid them from attacking on the turn they were summoned (the copies still gain 500 ATK from "The Seal of Orichalcos"). Later "Panther Warrior" then attacks a copy, but Mai activates "Harpie Lady Sparrow Formation" to negate the attack. In the following episode, Joey uses "The Fiend Megacyber" to attack and destroy one copy. At the end of Mai's Battle Phase, she moves her remaining copy and "Copy Tokens" to her Spell & Trap Zone.

This activates the Flip Effect of "Fiber Jar", but Mai activates "Harpie's Feather Storm" to negate the effect of "Fiber Jar" and end the Battle Phase. In the next episode, the surviving copy and the two remaining tokens are banished due to the effect of "Time Magic Hammer".
  • In the first above-mentioned episode, this card appears in a flashback Joey has when he explains to his friends that the person who saved them from the group of bikers was Mai (because he saw that one of the cards that their rescuer threw at the bikers was this card and he saw a glimpse of the rescuer's face).
  • In the first above-mentioned episode, this card appears in a flashback explained by Mai. Mai uses this card during her Duel against Maximillion Pegasus. Mai had six copies of this card on her side of the field.
