Name: Maxine Rita Robbins
Age: 16
Alignment: Um... Warrior, maybe?
Personality: When she was young, Maxine was quiet and reserved. She did what she liked, and that was never anything that would get her into trouble. She was the child whose mother parents would compliment for being so patient and well behaved as they walked out of a busy restaurant. She was smart and always did her homework, something not many children could say, even at her young age. She was, to put it simply, perfect.
And then she was moved across the country, and Maxine's whole outlook on life changed drastically. What she once thought was fun and enjoyable and rewarding now bored her, and that included playing by the rules. She was a completely different person when she moved to her dad's house. She concentrated her whole life on making her father's a living hell, to make him wish he had never left her mother while she was expecting.
Now, Maxine is rude, to put it simply. She never thinks about what she is going to say before she says it, no matter who she is talking to. She is never afraid to state exactly what is on her mind at any given moment, without editing anything out to spare someone's feelings. It has gotten her in a lot of trouble with her father, Caitlin, her friends, her teachers, the principle... you name it, she's been in trouble with them. Except, of course, her mother.
Around her beloved mother, Maxine hasn't changed from the time she was less then ten years old. When she visits her mother and grandmother at the place she still considers her home, she is completely well behaved. It is as if the child that once lived in Maxie's body never left. She behaves herself without being told and never complains. Once she flies back to her father's, however, the demon in her comes right back out.
Not only is she extremely straightforward, but Maxine doesn't care what other people say or thinkabout her. She is her own person, and she would never change anything about herself for anyone but her. She hates the kind of people who try to get people to change almost as much as she hates the people who actually do it. To her, everyone is perfect the way they are, and anyone who tries to change that isn't worth her time.
History: Throughout her childhood, Maxine dreamed of living in the stereotypical, happy, American family. One were the father would return home from work, kiss his wife and his two little blonde haired, blue eyed children and sit at the table while the mother served meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Like on 'Leave it to Beaver'; The perfect life. Of course, her life was anything but perfect.
Maxine was born out of wedlock; her mother was sixteen, her father eighteen. It had never been either one of their plans to be a parent while in high school, it was just something that happened by accident. The minute her father found out about her, he broke up with her mother and bought his apartment in the city. Maxine never even knew the name of her father until she was about seven years old, simply because her mother was too mad at the fact that he abandoned her the way he did to even bring up his name.
For the first few years of her life, Maxine lived with her mother, and her mother's parents. She was quite a happy child, despite the fact that there was never a father in the picture. Maxine got used to living with her mother's miscellaneous different boyfriends, and never really minded that she did not have a daddy like normal girls and boys did. As she got older, though, things really started to get hard.
It started when Maxine's grandfather died when she was no older then ten years old. Her entire family was devastated, but it hit Maxine the hardest; She had always been especially close to her grandpa, whom she called "pop". He left his family with many bills to pay, and not a lot of money to pay them with. Soon, it got to the point where Maxine's mother, even with as much help from her grandmother as she could get, just couldn't afford to support a child. It was then that Maxine's mother contacted the father she had never known, and sent her across the country to live with him, as much as she didn't want to.
Maxine's father's life had changed completely from the time he had broken up with her mother to now. At twenty eight years old, he was now married to a woman named Caitlin and had a four year old son named Jacob and a two year old daughter named Emily. Maxine felt betrayed; Not only had he married the snottiest woman Maxine had ever met and had the two most demon-like children, but he had never even bothered to contact his first born. It hadn't really bothered her until she actual lived with the man, and even at an age as young as ten, she hated him and his new family.
Throughout the years, Maxine's hatred for her father and his family grew instead of going away. She hated the fact that he was married to that snow Caitlin and not her own mother, and she hated the way she felt like an outcast with her step-mother and two half-siblings. She started to drastically change. Things she once thought were great were now boring to her. She often died her hair miscellaneous un-natural colors to try and prove the point that she could do whatever she wanted and no one in her new family could stop her. To this day, she still hates them with all of her being, and she can't wait until she's eighteen so she can move back across the country and be with her mother.
Knowledge of the magical: Some... She has friends[believe it or not] who have the magical power, so she knows it exsists and the basic machanics of it, but not all of it.

Description:Maxine's appearance changes almost as often as the month does. Everytime you see her, she has something new, wether it be a new piercing, hair color, hair style, anything. She gets sick of things almost as fast as she wants them. So far she's had a lip rip, an eyebrow piercing, snake bites, and multiple ear piercings, and she's only kept the ones in her ears in. The other piercings holes have closed up, and she has small scars around her lip and her eyebrow where they used to be.
Maxine also changes her hair color often. She is naturally a blond, although she'd rather die then go blond again. Her hair has been black, red, pink, blue, brown, and is currently a bright orange. Her eyes are hazel, but are often covered by the bangs of her unnaturally colored hair. She is normal sized for her age, not skinny, but not over weight, and not tall, but not short, either.
