Nicknames: Maxine will not respond to anything except for her full name. Even if someone calls her Max she will not respond, it is Maxine and Maxine only. Max reminds her of a name you'd call a dog.
Age/Birthday: She is 23-years-old and her birthday is November 10th
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Class Maxine graduated from Metric College and is now a townie
Health issues: Maxine is a little on the skinny side but not enough to cause any physical problems. If she were to go to a psychiatrist they would probably find a lot wrong with her but there is no way in hell she would see professional help.



Job: After (surprisingly) graduating from Metric College, Maxine did her best to try and get into the music scene. Unfortunately, the only one to take her on was a small radio station based in Salem. She occasionally DJs and sings on the radio station and, when she is not busy there, hold two other jobs, one bar tending at the Shady Club and the other dancing at the local strip joint
Reputation: Maxine had made it her agenda to be known as the ‘bad girl’ of the town. She is a rebel, and it is no secret she has a criminal record. Maxine has no regards for authority and lives according to her own code. When it comes to association with others she is very selective in who she allows herself to be seen with, most of the time she can be found among the problem students which include the druggies, misfits, and delinquents.
Friend(s):
Arthur Summers: She never would have believed one day Arthur would actually be her closest friend. Maxine used to tease him mercilessly and he absolutely hated her yet now they have each other's back. Although she still hasn't completely opened up to him, he knows more about her than most people do.
Lola Henderson: Lola and Maxine hit it off right away. They both have very flirtatious nature so when they collided it was a hurricane of sexual tension. She always has fun when she's in Lola's presence.
Hallie Grey: Maxine met Hallie through her roomie Lola. She thinks Hallie is also very attractive and flirts with her from time to time.
Enemies/Rivals:
Gracie Fischer: He is loud, he his obnoxious, and he gives her constant headaches. They have been in a choir class together and it took a lot of effort to keep herself from pummeling him. She doesn’t really hate him, just finds him very annoying. His little gal-pal is not really one of her favorite people either. They are both goody-goodies which she never gets along with.
Chad Richardson: Chad started off as a fuck buddy for her but lately he's been shafting her and she is very annoyed with him.
Relationship Status: Single – She really is not the relationship type and has been known to sleep around. Commitment is not her thing.



Height/Body Type: 5’3” with a lean build. Although she is short it should not by any means a person should under-estimate her. She is stronger than she looks and packs quite a punch. Max has a lean and toned stomach and a delicate curve to her waist. Even though she doesn’t have much to offer in the chest region (she’s about a B cup), she has strong thighs and a rather pronounced derriere. She takes pride in her body and is not afraid to show some skin; however, she does have one insecurity. She has three stab marks, two on her upper torso and one on her back, from a gang fight a few years back. Though she is not afraid of showing her scars off with her scandalous wardrobe, she usually makes up lies about where the scars came from. Max also has a tattoo of a scorpion on her lower back.
Hair color: Dark brown – it appears to constantly be in a state of disarray because she refuses to brush her hair.
Eye color/makeup: Blue/Gray, her makeup is usually very dark and dramatic. She loves a bold lip.
Clothing style: Maxine wears very revealing and very tight clothes. She is not ashamed of her body and will flaunt it off whenever she had she chance to. There really is not much color variety to her wardrobe and practically everything she owns is black. It is very rare to catch her wearing pants but if she is they are typically skin-tight and usually made of leather. She prefers to wear short shorts or tiny skirts paired with a tank top and leather jacket thrown over the top. Her style is very edgy and very dark. Max can almost never be seen with a fresh face and wears copious amounts of black eyeliner paired with a bold shade of lipstick.

Family:
Mother – Sylvia Wilson – Receptionist – Maxine has never really been on good terms with her mother. As a child, she never was coddled like most children were by their mothers, instead she was forced to fend for herself. However, once her youngest brother came along he was babied just because his father actually stuck around. It made her rather bitter toward her mother, but she still loves her regardless.
Father – Antonio Rossi – Mechanic – A stubborn-headed Italian man Maxine once called her father. After two years of sticking around he left her and her mother. She still hears from him on her birthday.
Step-Father – Derek Wilson – Car Salesman – Derek never tried to even be a father figure to Maxine. Since he doted on his own son, it meant her and Marco were often pushed to the side. She tried to be civil with him for her mother’s sake but is not fond of him.
Half-brother – Marco Batista – Since Maxine is closer in age to Marco she feels closer to him. They grew up having each other’s back and know what it is like to struggle to survive. She will occasionally slide him money from time to time if he needs it because he has troubles of his own and a family to provide for (even though he’s only nineteen).
Half-brother – Noah Wilson – Noah is the baby of the family and the relationship he has with his sister is incredible strained. Unlike Max and Marco he was brought up with luxuries his half-siblings did not have and he has a father in his life unlike the other two. Maxine holds this against him which means they are not very close.

Backstory: A lot of people know Maxine for the colossal bitch she is, but not many people know just what made her that way. It all started on November 10th when she was born, the fact that her father could not even bother to make it to her birth should have been a sure sign he was not proper father material. Her mother took her home the next day to the apartment her mother and father struggled to make rent on. Money was tight which meant Max lived with a bare necessities. While her parents worked she was usually left with the lady who lived across the hall who always smelled like onions and had five cats. When she was two years old her father left for work one day and never returned. With little money to her name Sylvia and Maxine were forced to move into Sylvia’s mother’s house in the slums.

A year later her mother met Benito, and they were not dating long before Sylvia found out she was pregnant yet again. Maxine and her mother moved in with Benito and the three children he already had which meant there was quite the full house. At three-years-old Max found herself getting pushed aside by the other loud, violent children, and her mother was far too busy fussing over her pregnancy to notice how mistreated her daughter was in all this mess. Sylvia gave birth to Maxine’s new half-brother Marco and for once the little girl found happiness. She thought being a big sister was the coolest thing in the world. However, their happiness was short-lived because six months after Marco was born Sylvia found out Benito was still seeing his ex-wife behind her back, so it was back to Sylvia’s mother’s house for the little family.

Things were easier at her grandmother’s house. Maxine liked it there because it was warm and always smelled like cookies. It was the only place she could truly call home. She was too young to understand why her mother cried so much or why she was so desperate to find a man. She would crawl in bed with her mother at night and snuggle up real close, close enough to muffle her mother’s cries. Maxine was innocent then, young and innocent.

When she was five Sylvia found yet another man and was certain he would be the one to stay. She dated Derek Wilson for a year before she found out she was expecting. Unlike the others Derek promised to stay with Sylvia and raise his child, and he did just that once Noah was born. Derek doted on his little boy but seemed to easily forget his girlfriend’s two other children. Maxine and Marco were often left to fend for themselves and created their own ways to have fun with Noah played with his toy cars and action figures. They both started to develop an immediately aversion to their half-brother.

Once middle school came around things took a turn for the worst. The school they attended was full of inner-city kids, some of the worst kind. Maxine found herself in the wrong crowd. She was soon introduced into the world of drugs, sex, and parties and without any supervision from either her mother or Derek she indulged in it. She soon worked her way into the inner circle of one of the gangs of the city which her brother Marco ended up getting involved with as well. They provided protection and a sense of family the two never really felt they had. She picked up how to speak Spanish from her new friends, a language she had always wanted to learn. In order to keep their new family they needed to prove themselves. Marco did his part by bashing in some heads from time to time but Maxine found herself offering the only thing she could offer, her body.

At sixteen-years-old, Maxine found out she was pregnant with the gang leader’s child. After seeing what happened to her mother raising three children of all different ethnicities she knew that is not how she wanted to end up. Instead, she took herself to the clinic and had it taken care of. She told no one, not even Marco who she was closest with.

One night as Maxine was walking home from a friend’s house, she was approached by two other girls and a boy. They blocked her path and Max stupidly told them to get lost. As it turned out, these three were members of a rival gang who had unfinished business. In order to send a message and settle the score, they jumped Maxine. Two of them restrained her while the other stabbed her twice in the stomach. Max managed to struggle away but when she tried to run she was stabbed again in the back. She collapsed and was found by a passerby before being rushed to the hospital.

After that incident her mother finally started to pay attention to her, but it was too late. Maxine didn’t want her sympathy, not after being ignored for so long. As soon as she was back on her feet, she left. She stayed with a friend and ended up purchasing an acoustic guitar from a thrift shop and taught herself how to play. Max had always had a good voice but never thought she could do much with it. In attempt to make some money for herself she took to the streets and played and street corners. Most of the time she didn’t bring in much, but it was nice to finally be able to express herself creatively.

Then her big break finally came one day while she was singing along with her guitar. A man approached her and asked her if she ever thought of making music her profession. She explained to him she did not have the funds to go to the special school he spoke of but after talking to her for awhile he decided to give her an audition for a full-ride scholarship to Metric college. Someone she ended up getting it and made the move on her own to attend college, something she never thought she would do.

To her disdain, her family caught wind of her opportunity, and they ended up packing up their things and moving to Salem. She sometimes sees her youngest brother Noah around since he attends the high school, but for the most part she pretends not to know him.
