Name: Maxine Alana Cross
Nickname:Max, Allie (only by her brother)
Age:Twenty-five
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Appearance:Standing at 5'7" with a lithe frame, Maxine has a body of a graceful dancer. Her straight orange locks and bright brown-green eyes are the most prominent features one can recall about her, alongside her pale but freckled skin. Max has very little muscle, her body not suited to fighting zombies and other humans alike. Instead, Maxine prefers to act like a
fox, sly and quiet - in and out without a sound. Her dancing background also gives Max the ability to be flexible, allowing her to squeeze into tight corners in case she needs to hide. Maxine also has a
tattoo on her wrist, a result of a drunken night out with friends before the whole world-going-to-shit situation.
Maxine prefers to have her hair tied up and out of the way, either in a ponytail or braids of sorts - depending on how much free time she has that particular morning. A light-weight
parka and old faded skinny jeans are Maxine's regular outfit, along with worn out converses.
Maxine also speaks with a distinct Scottish accent, an obvious hint to her heritage.
A simple waterproof backpack, stolen during the first few days of the apocalypse years prior. Within it, Maxine carries two bottles of water, along with some stale crackers that she only eats when desperate for food. She also has two shirts, three sets of underwear, one pair of jeans and some shorts and two pairs of socks, along with some extra female hygienic products.
Somewhere hidden in her bag, Maxine also carries two torches, with some spare batteries and a lighter. She also has a thin, ripped blanket that she carries for cold nights.
Weapons-wise, Maxine carries nothing other than a Bowie hunting knife, usually concealed in one of her many parka pockets. She also carries a medical kit; complete with various bandages, painkillers, disinfectant and a scalpel.
In her jacket, she has a crumpled picture of her family which she rarely leaves out of her sight. Maxine considers the picture her most prized possession.
Personality:♦ Kind ♦ Secretive ♦ Optimistic ♦ Gullible ♦
Maxine is kind to a fault. She loves helping people with their problems, often pushing her own to the back of her mind. This trait was her main motivation to study medicine and become a doctor. Maxine is not she, nor is shy quiet (verbally at least) but can act more like a mother figure to those she cares about.
She prefers to keep her secrets to herself, her selfless nature often making her keep quiet about any problems because she doesn't want to burden people. Maxine rarely asks for help, her reasoning being that she 'wants to be independent.'
Her optimistic nature can often make Maxine very gullible. She prides herself on her people-reading skills, but often her judgement is clouded by her optimistic view on life.
Maxine's skills heavily rely on her dancing background. She cannot fight, preferring the sneaky-stealth method to avoid any confrontation. She is light on her feet and flexible so stealth is the best way for her to survive. However, while she prefers to avoid confrontation, it doesn't mean that she hasn't been in any fights, she knows how to use her knife well enough, thanks to her medical background.
Biography:Growing up in Scotland, Maxine had a very normal childhood. Everything was picture perfect: happy parents, energetic siblings, beautiful house, perfect. She was always encouraged, from a young age, to have a hobby, which Maxine eventually chose dancing - ballet, to be precise.
It wasn't long before Maxine's parents decided to move to Amsterdam. For reasons unknown, Maxine barely questioned it as she was thrust into a new environment. Still, Maxine's perfect life never changed. Gathering many friends, Maxine was soon off to university, studying to become a doctor when the apocalypse began.
Hurrying back home, Maxine found her parents lying in a pool of blood, her older brother hunched over their bodies and her younger brother missing. She never approached him - and for good reason too. After looking at her brother's decayed appearance, the girl barely managed to behead him using scattered kitchen appliances. It was then Maxine decided that once she found her younger brother, they could escape Hell together.
Six years later, she's still looking.
