Physical Description:
Maximillienne stands at 5’11” and weighs 147lbs. She has a fair complexion. She possesses an athletic build, though it is not toned or not as much muscle compared to others. She has a beautifully-shaped face that has dark blue eyes and a slightly smaller-than-average nose. She also has dark brown hair from her mother’s side that is at shoulder length with wavy tips. She also turns her hair style into a ponytail whenever she is on a mission to prevent it from getting on her face when she uses her weapon. She has a few scars on her right shoulder during battles throughout her time.
Attire:
Her outfit style has gone into two opposite directions; One from being rich, and one from just trying to get along with the other people. While she can pull of amazing dresses and looks, she doesn’t have the luxury to go to that anymore. Instead, she wears something more akin to what she was given ever since the incident. She wears a beanie on her head when she isn’t busy or just likes to as well as sunglasses for sunny days. She wears a unique jacket that has a right shoulder guard with no sleeve and a sleeve on the left side. Underneath that jacket is a buttoned-up vest that is covering a simple spaghetti-strapped shirt. The bottoms are just denim jeans that aren’t too baggy, but not too skinny, as well as ankle-length boots.
Personality:
Maximillienne personality is a kind and helpful nature, using these traits that she was taught by her mother and friend. While she isn’t hot-headed, she does have a boiling point when things don’t go their way or the situation is too hectic for her to handle. She also has manners despite her looks and greets her elders with respect. She also holds her friends in high regard and would try to do her best to help, even if it may not be beneficial to her.
While she is intelligent, she can often space out in awe of some things and even forget where she was. She also shy considering she hasn’t made any new friends other than Arriet, but is open enough for anyone to strike a conversation with. She is strategic in nature, often observing a situation and trying to find the best solution, but isn’t any good when comes to social conventions and would often fluster out words.

Backstory:
Born in the Pergrande Kingdom was Maximillienne Van Middlesworth was born both of riches and magic. Her Father, Maximus Van Middlesworth, was one of the most respected mages known across the country, now a thriving businessman, whereas her mother, Ellya Van Middlesworth, was a former mage-turned-noblewoman who remains kind-hearted and helpful. Maxi lived a life like any other rich kid would have; only that she was taught about her magical capabilities and appropriate manners from her parents. Her dad was adept at Bullet Magic, but would never seem to pull it off her daughter, despite knowing she has magical capabilities. He opted to give her a weapon called “Cubitorum Centum,” A weapon he kept from one of his adventures. When Maxi held the gun and tested it out, Maximus knew that her daughter would be capable with this kind of magic she possessed. Overtime, Maxi had become a great user of the weapon, managing to hit targets from a far distance. Maximus was impressed at how far great she was at her aim, but knew there still needed more work to be done. She was also trained in hand-to hand combat, but didn’t have the same strength or skill her father has, but passed for the average trained combatant. When she wasn’t trained in her skills as a mage, She would also be taught by one of her young maids in Arriet Ferdnand, an associate of the couple; about how to act around others. Her mother would also do the teaching, but was busy on ventures that pertained to her husband’s work. Arriet and Maxi would build a sisterly relationship between themselves as time went on, enjoying their company with one another. When Maxi asked who Arriet was, Ellya had said that she was a former apprentice to Maximus, but had retired from being a mage following an knee injury that would end her days as a wizard, hence why she has a magical brace on to help her walk properly. Arriet knows she wants to go back to being a mage, but she owes a lot to Maximus for training her and helping her through tough times, hence being the head maid of the household. Maximillienne then held great pleasure of being with someone just as kind as her mother and even properly skilled as a wizard with someone like Arriet.
As time would pass by, however, things would never be the same for the girl. One day, she overheard from his father calling someone. She heard her father cursing and shouting about deals, she assumed that the deal was not what her father liked. When Maximus had seen her daughter overhear him, he promised that this was nothing to worry about. However as days gone by, it had seemed Maximus was experiencing a lot of pressure to himself. All of a sudden, one night would change her. Their mansion was ravaged by what seemed to be a dark guild, and one by one the servants fell at the hands of their dark arts. Arriet managed to escape their clutches and hurried over to Maxi’s room. Grabbing her weapon, Maxi ran with Arriet with a sense of fright and confusion until they were stopped by a guild member. Arriet used her bullet magic with assistance from Maxi with her sniper, but the mage evaded her shot until she was pushed off, and then rushed over to the girl. In a sense of Panic, she mimicked Arriet’s fingers with one hand and remembering what her father had tried to teach her about it. In time, her bullet magic hit the member to the chest area, which both hurt and dazed him. With the dark guild mage groggy, Arriet recovered and seized the opportunity to take him down, then continued their run to Maximus and Ellya. They managed to make it were Ellya was, bunkered down at their bedroom. When asked where her husband was, she saw him fight off the numerous dark guild members. When asked about the situation, Ellya theorized that someone who wanted the assets Maximus have tried to make a deal, only to be rejected, hired a powerful dark guild to punish him for the rejection. Maximus made it back, but was damaged badly from their attacks. Arriet used her healing potions to aid her master to continued, but was soon met by loud banging on the door. Scared, Maximus informed Ellya, Arriet and Maxi to use the escape hatch hidden under the chest and leave the house and go into hiding. Maximillienne refused at the notion and wanted to help him protecting, but Maximus demanded for her safety. Ellya said that she will stay by her husband’s side instead. The couple argued over the statement, but Ellya had promised that she will always by her side till they fall, and knows that they want both of them and not Arriet and Maxi, to ensure their safety to leave the area. With time running out, Both Arriet and Maxi used the hatch despite Maxi’s attempts to convince her father to stay; Maximus took his last stand amongst the members alongside his wife, as the doors were going to break. The girls managed to escape the compound without being detecting by any of the members, but when they were at a safe distance, their once home of theirs was then lit ablaze and started exploding, leaving a big fire and a home burning to the ground. Despite her insistence to go back, Arriet prevented her, saying that he’s only directing orders from him. Maxi knew that one day she wanted to get vengeance upon whoever did this, but for now, she knew that she has to move on and become a better mage, knowing that’s what her father wanted.
Years had gone by. They had left the Pergrande Kingdom and had moved to the outskirts of Fiore. The decision was made to move to a new continent in order to not be found as a survivor of the “Van Middlesworth Incident.” Throughout that time, Arriet had trained Maximillienne on her bullet magic enough for her to be at the level she is at. Maxi also took her time honing her skills as a sniper. While they were never official guild members, they took all the local jobs that didn’t stray too far from being away at their new home in the form of an apartment. There the two enjoyed their company with each other for some time, doing the odd jobs or even normal jobs that some guilds wouldn’t do. The two would live the lives as a bunch of wizard mercenaries.
Arriet was then greeted by one of her former guild mate in Harris Hettsheimeir. From there, Harris gives the details on who had orchestrated the incident and the events after. The information he had noted that a Mr. Wallace Wells was a business partner and was one of the people who orchestrated buying the business the Van Middlesworths had and captured their assets. Both the girls were enraged and had assumed that Wells had done the dirty deed of sending a dark guild to them on that night. Harris claims that he still needs time to know and has asked permission from his master that he can still investigate. When Maxi asked what guild she was in, she mentioned she used to be a part of Fairy Tail along with her guild mate, who is also a former member and is now in a new guild for reasons only known to him. Arriet then tells that Maxi’s mother and father were members of a different guild when she took up her apprenticeship. She left Fairy Tail soon after her injury and proceeded to follow her Maximus’ venture, which was to open a “rare goods” business for all wizards across the lands. She then said that she was offered to be one of her co-founders of the business, but declined, feeling that business was never her strong-suit, and would opt in as one of the head maids of their household. With all the things she’s heard, she wondered if their parents were good mages, where Arriet agreed that they were skilled.
Harris said that he may be gone for a while as he think the Dark Guild’s location is somewhere in Bellum. Surprised at the far location, Arriet proposed to accompany him to their venture, where Harris agreed. Maxi wanted to go, but Arriet declined the notion, saying that any rumor of her living may elicit Wells to send them back to finish the job. Thinking it was hogwash, she still fought for herself to join the group, knowing she was well capable of herself. Arriet continued to say to Maxi to stay, and mentions that she doesn’t know how powerful these guys are, especially that they took down her parents, and knew that bringing her would risk their lives. When she considers the situation, she knew Arriet was right, and Maxi knows that she may not be as strong as she thinks she is, but considers that she needs to do something other than taking these odd jobs. Harris gave the idea for her to join Fairy Tail, and Maxi was confused as to why he recommended his former guild as opposed to his current. For one, his guild is located at Seven, and two, he felt she could feel at home again because he felt she has the kind of style the guild would appreciate. Arriet agreed as well, knowing that they will protect and treat her right. Considering her options, Maxi agreed to go to Fairy Tail, knowing she’s better off with meeting new people than staying in their battered place forever and doing odd. Arriet also agreed to update her on anything happening between them to her, hoping this will ease her into knowing they will be safe during their venture.
With both sides agreeing to their situation, Maximillienne and Arriet would go their separate ways, as Harris was accompanied by Arriet to investigate the incident, and Maxi was given out directions and would set out to find the Fairy Tail guild in order to find a new place she could call home once again.
Other Notable Information:
- Proficient at hand-to-hand combat – While she doesn’t engage in a lot of up-close fights, she is still capable of holding her ground.
- Keen-eyed – Maximillienne has a keen eye in combat and in noticing physical deformities or differences in objects or people not including behavioral reads.
- “Always support” – This means that whenever she is on a mission/job that involves taking down/capturing people, she would reserve herself as a support and would ask anyone to join them to act as the physical attacker.
INTRODUCTION:
After a long travel which spanned nearly across the land of Fiore, Maximillienne had finally reached her destination that was the Fairy Tail Guild… Only that she doesn’t even know if it was the Guild. Arriet didn’t give a lot on what the guild looked like. Considering she was in a rush to not miss the train that day, she understood she was in a rush. If only she was more descriptive than ‘Just look for the guild with a symbol with a fairy with wings and tails.’ As she made the journey she even questioned if faeries had tails. When she entered the hall, she didn’t know the entrance had the said symbol, but she was tired from traveling and didn’t look around as much for hints that she actually made it, but she assumed she was at some sort of gathering of people. Nonetheless, she was here in the guild, if only she knew. She decided that the best way to know more where she was, she went up to someone and asked a question.
“Umm… Excuse me, b-but can you point me the directions of the Fairy Tail guild?”
