Appearance

A woman in her late twenties she has lost all maiden like innocence or youthful prettiness and developed into more of a sultry, dark beauty who has fully embraced her femininity. To be fair she would be more beautiful if she smiled more often and her brow wasn't pursed into what seems to be an ever-present frown. Her hair is long and dark, kohl-lined eyes are a brilliant green and a dark burgundy tattoo graces her forehead that matches her nearly ever present lipstick.

Distinguishing marks
- Three-inch long scar on her upper right thigh
-She wears a ring of a serpent on her right hand
- And tattoo of a small crescent moon on her finger

Personality

Maeve possess a serene composure and whilst she projects an aura of confidence and has a quick tongue, she could never be called outgoing or loud. Rather she prefers to observe and let others ramble - so much can be learned from the ramblings of people. Her distrust of others runs deep and as a result cynicism tends to guide her actions and she has no qualms about using manipulation or lies in order to achieve her goals. She is a very driven person and appears to act in the manner of what she believes will further the greater good and therefore will make choices that others find difficult with ease, such as sacrificing the life of a team member or even an entire village or city if it is for the good of all. This makes her rather pragmatic and more than just a little cold yet in her mind it is justified and she understands that in times like these hard choices need to be made.

Yet while she is no delicate flower that can be easily broken neither is she a strong sword that can forever hold its own. Maeve possesses more fears than she would like to admit and her reluctance to let anyone close means that she is prone to loneliness. Despite her numerous flaws she does at times go out of her way to help people, provided it does not interfere with her goals, and her strong sense of independence means she will swiftly stand against those that that wish to restrict the freedom of others.

Other

Combat
Maeve relies nearly solely on magic during combat. Being an intelligent and analytical woman she is aware of her strengths and limitations thus knows when to utilise the skills of others in order to get a job done, especially when it comes to physical tasks due to her lack of physical strength or hand to hand combat prowess. Despite her self control and composure in day to day life, on the battlefield she can be a bit reckless at times as she throws herself into danger without hesitation and will do all it takes to defeat an enemy without an apparent fear of death or injury.

Religion
The twelve are held in high regard by Maeve and she treats them all with respect. However, she has the closest relationship with Nymeia and Nald'thal.
