[i]"When you feel bad, run. And when you've run as far as you physically can, if you still feel bad, just keep running until you leave those feelings in your dust."

[indent]Maie-Marie Malveaux[/indent]

[color=skyblue][b][u]Nicknames[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Mal (Semi-formal, taken from her last name. It means 'bad' so most people close to her don't use it, but a 'casual' teacher or someone in a similar position might pull it out.)
M, "Trois-emme" (From her name having three M's in it. She hates this one, and it's used only in ignorance by a well-meaning stranger or else when somebody's actually trying to aggravate her.)
She doesn't mind being called either Marie or Maie. Most people default to Marie because it's more common.[/indent]

[color=skyblue][b][u]Appearance[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Despite her tomboyish personality, Marie's appearance is very much that of a girl. Shoulder-length blonde hair, occasionally dyed or tipped some exotic color, hangs down over her pale skin and 'cute' facial features (big round eyes, small nose, etc.) Her body, likewise, is rather petite, at a whopping 5 foot even and around a hundred pounds. She's toned, athletically, but not very muscular, even when she flexes (which is more often than is probably appropriate.) Even though her frame is small she tries to make up for this by wearing loud colors or just generally being loud herself.

Her fashion sense is peculiar. Because she looks cute and doll-like, she can pull off strange fashion choices without really trying. In casual situations she is often seen wearing men's gym attire (tight t-shirt and shorts or sweats,) and these serve as her general outdoor clothes as well ("Never know when you've gotta run!") She hates dresses because she doesn't like the way they usually fit her, and she refuses to wear skirts because she has a constant irrational fear that everybody can see her underwear at all times. Formal wear doesn't really exist in her wardrobe. Instead, she has a large selection of active-wear (both men's and women's) and a single blue dress that never gets worn.

She doesn't touch makeup, which has made a lot of her peers jealous in the past because of her relatively clear skin. Because of this she gets baffled easily when other girls start talking about their morning routines, and all she can say is "I shower a lot."[/indent]

[color=skyblue][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Marie is easy to get along with, but equally easy to hate, because of her simplistic personality. She is friendly and approachable, and likes to talk to 'unpopular' kids just because they interest her, but this habit sometimes ends in bitter feelings from popular girls who think she's a joke, as well as even unpopular kids who think she's taking pity on them. She is the type who likes to listen to people ramble on about whatever they're passionate about, and will then ramble herself about the things she's passionate about: fitness, food, anime, and the vastness of the universe, which she doesn't know anything about.

She isn't perceived as particularly intelligent, because she really isn't. She loves learning new things but can't retain information well at all, often forgetting things by accident, including people's names or past meetings. She means well, and easily rolls with the punches when somebody calls her stupid, but she does have a bit of a hidden complex regarding her intelligence, often being the first person in a room to put herself down over how stupid she is. This is also the first thing people usually attack when they want to put her down, and she just laughs it off every time.

Marie doesn't put up with people who put themselves down or attack others, and will reflexively try and shift any and all blame onto herself. While not a true martyr complex, it's not that far off either. She likes to think she is saving people by taking on all the pain herself, even if she logically knows it doesn't work that way. People don't often pay it much mind, because she is so upbeat all the time, but it's a habit that can easily get on everybody's nerves. She is working to try and change the way she acts because she has alienated friends in the past, but changing yourself is hard, so it's slow progress.

[indent]Aside from her bizarre paranoia involving skirts, Marie is terrified of being lost. Lost in a new place, in the middle of nowhere, lost in a crowd, it doesn't matter. If she doesn't know where she is or where she's going, she gets the cold sweats. Thank god for GPS technology these days, right?[/indent]

[color=skyblue][b][u]History[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Originally hailing from Quebec, Marie's family moved to Manhattan Island halfway through her elementary school career due to her father's position as a well-respected business consultant. Her father became a permanent on-call consultant to the CEO of Jam! Energy, one of the highest-grossing soft drink conglomerates in the country. Marie was sent to a private school and their family was never hungry because of all the money her Father took in, but Marie herself wasn't a fan of inner city life. There just weren't enough ways to expend her energy, and there were only so many times you could run laps around Central Park before the scenery started getting repetitive. Her grades began to slip and she was diagnosed with ADHD and put on various kinds of pills to help regulate her poor attention span and energy levels.

This worked for a while, but her energy had little to do with her brain chemistry in the end. It was just her personality. She was pulled from private school in grade seven and received home-schooling instead in hopes that she would do better in a more comfortable environment. And again, for a while, this seemed successful. Her grades rose and she stopped seeming so frustrated all the time. But even this had an end. The CEO of Jam! Energy suffered a major heart attack and passed away in his office, sending the company into a bad PR spiral (did he die because he drank Jam? That stuff will kill you!) The cash stopped flowing, and Marie's family could no longer afford her personal tutor. Her father was hired on as interim CEO of Jam! but honestly he was just hired as a scapegoat so that nobody within the company had to take the fall in the media. Even so, he was able to pull the company's accounts out of the gutter and back into the black, but Jam! Energy never could wipe away the dark smudge on their reputation, and the only people who were drinking their products were high schoolers and college students who didn't care about their supposed health concerns.

What the company needed wasn't better management, they had that part covered, they needed a better image. To that end, the new CEO turned his eyes on the brightest shining star he knew - his own daughter. Maie-Marie was sent to Ashbury to continue her schooling and to get the pedigree that would be needed for the new face of Jam![/indent]

[color=skyblue][b][u]Favorite memory[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]One time while still living in Quebec, after watching the movie Forrest Gump with her family, she decided to run as far as she could, for no particular reason. She didn't tell her family anything about where she was headed, just "I'm going out for a run." Five hours later, she was in the middle of nowhere, completely stranded. She had to knock on a stranger's door to ask to use their phone. It took an hour for her parents to figure out where she had gone, and another two hours to actually come pick her up. She was grounded for two weeks afterward, but the memory is still dear to her, because she finds it hilarious.[/indent]

[color=skyblue][b][u]Least favorite memory[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Once and only once was Marie ever sent to school in 'girly' clothes, in grade 3. It was her parents' idea, against her will, but she agreed because they insisted on it, thinking she looked incredibly cute. They were right, but not even a minute after she got there, the usual boys she hung around with had flipped up her skirt and one boy tried to kiss her as a joke. She ran home without even attending her first class. She cut up her nice clothes and yelled at her parents when they tried to scold her, and the issue was never brought up again.[/indent]

[color=skyblue][b][u]What corporation sent you to Ashbury?[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Marie was sent on behalf of Jam! Energy, who hoped to use her image to pick their name up out of the gutter. While not technically an heiress (she doesn't even remotely have the business mind and everybody knows it) she is still the daughter of the CEO. She has the pedigree to attend and a real purpose for being there, even if others look down on her because she won't actually inherit the company (although her father secretly hopes that she will gain the business sense to actually follow in his footsteps.)[/indent]

[hider=Relationship sheet][center][color=skyblue][h1]Maie-Marie Malveaux[/h1][/color][/center]
"Who is my best friend...? If you had to ask me right now I would say... [i]you,[/i] I suppose?"

[center][b][u][color=9400D3]Brooke Avery[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"Brooke is a bit of a flower, I can tell. I would like to spend more time alone with her, even if she says she hates me. Perhaps I could get her to move past my flaws and we could be friends?"[/i]

Marie takes Brooke's harsh attitude towards the world personally, as though Brooke were actually mad at her specifically for being imperfect. She hopes in time that she can become a person that Brooke could bear to be friends with, though she doesn't really know how she might accomplish such a task.

[center][b][u][color=f7941d]Hal Polwith[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"Hal is very funny, I like hanging around with him, because the way he talks makes me smile."[/i]

Marie likes Hal a lot. He is just the sort of person Marie likes to hang around with. The type that is active and upbeat, as well as being very passionate and able to 'nerd out' every once in a while. She secretly wants to run a marathon with him to see who could last longer.

[center][b][u][color=9e0b0f]Korrie Jackson[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"I think I could learn a lot from Korrie, but I wish that he would stop pranking other people."[/i]

Marie admires Korrie for being so into computers as well as so many other things that she can't find the time for. She severely dislikes his mean streak, but thinks that he'll 'grow out of it' somehow. She would like to learn computers from him, even though anything beyond downloading anime and social media is probably a bit much for her.

[center][b][u][color=f6989d]Amanda Hirano[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"Amanda-san chou kawaii neeee~ Bishoujo desu neeee~"[/i]

Completely oblivious of the fact that she is probably coming on way too strong at all times, Marie thinks that Amanda is adorable. Even though Amanda is older than her, Marie treats her like a younger sibling. She admires Amanda's sense of style and always tries to talk about Japanese culture with her for some reason. Emphasis on [i]tries to.[/i]

[center][b][u][color=f7941d]Spencer Dalle[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"Monsieur Spencer is difficult to place, I think."[/i]

Marie gets a strange feeling from Spence, like that of a kindred spirit, as somebody who sometimes makes horrible decisions to hurt themselves for unknown reasons. However, she doesn't really know him well enough to broach the subject, so their relationship remains mysterious and superficial.

[center][b][u][color=ec008c]Laney Chandler[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"SHE IS SO... COOL!"[/i]

Marie has a hard time seeing past Laney's 'Ms. Perfect' facade, and admires her greatly for being so 'haute-couture.' Marie recognizes that she herself isn't exactly the model of class and panache, but she greatly admires all the hard work and time it must take to pull that style off.

[center][b][u][color=E42217]Nathan Matthews[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"He is a good boy, n'est-ce pas? But maybe girls like somebody a little more... wild, I think?"[/i]

School's a big place. When you coast by trying to just do what everybody else wants, it's hard to leave an impression on a girl like Marie. She likes Nathan well enough, but unfortunately finds him a bit forgettable and he often gets overlooked in her mind.

[center][b][u][color=00a651]Connor McQuarrie[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"I have a lot of respect for athletes. He is a bit of a clown, but I think that we get along fine. It is easy to forget my problems when I am with him."[/i]

Marie is loud enough that it's difficult to find somebody louder than her. Because of this, Connor makes a pretty big impression. However, sometimes two similar wavelengths amplify themselves too hard and blow out your speakers...

[center][b][u][color=004b80]Brenden Rivers[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"It is something I do not like to say, but I do not get along with Brenden, maybe? He confuses me and makes it difficult to tell, but I think he is insulting me a lot? Even if he's right, this is how he acts to everybody, and that is not okay."[/i]

As the socially oblivious person that she is, Marie is alternatingly immune and completely susceptible to Brenden's natural charisma. She takes most things he says at face value, and his attitude often just leaves her confused, making him uncomfortable to be around. She doesn't really get this feeling from anybody else, so she tries to avoid him if possible.

[center][b][u][color=orange]Emilie Delacour[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"A rival approaches?!"[/i]

Marie finds Emilie to be fun to be around, and despite cultural differences between Quebecois and Parisian french, just having another francophone around makes her seem less exotic, which is nice. But their similarities have inspired a competitive streak within Marie, and she will unconsciously try to one-up the poor girl whenever there's something to be won.

[center][b][u][color=9e0039]Erin "Riley" Emerson[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"It is nice to see there is a girl here who is not so girly like me. I would drown in accessories if I was left in this sea of pretty girls."[/i]

Since Marie has a hard time thinking about people beyond what she's shown, she completely believes that Riley is a totally tough chick, and admires her for that fact. She'd like to get to know Riley better, but never thinks to ask too deeply about it. They could probably be better friends if she did.

[center][b][u][color=00FF66]Aspen Hancock[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"He has a certain... dignity about him. It makes me respect him, even if I do not know him very well. He is somebody who is going places, I think? Perhaps just the sort of person who fits right in here."[/i]

Marie seems to respect Aspen, but even though he is genuine, his 'perfect' personality (or so Marie perceives it) makes him hard for somebody like Marie to approach. She liked to hang around him well enough, but he probably wouldn't be the first person she approached for conversation over somebody like Hal or Connor.

[center][b][u][color=87CEFA]Acacia Hancock[/color][/u][/b][/center]
[i]"Madamoiselle Acacia is certainly somebody who forces you to like them, if this is not rude to say. She is often surrounded by others, and there is good reason for this. Though perhaps around her I feel as though I am bossing her around?"[/i]

Much like her brother, Marie's opinion of Acacia resides in the clouds somewhere. As though she belongs to a different class of being (though maybe this is just by association.) She likes Acacia a lot, however, but the two of them often end up like a comedy duo with no straight-man. They need somebody to knock them over the head when they get too far down a dumb train of thought.[/hider]

[hider=Q&A][b]1. How many shoes do you own? What types?[/b]
"Just two pairs. One pair for running, one for not running. Durability and comfort are important above all, but I often get made fun of for not being stylish for some reason. Are sneakers not proper formal attire? Surely you don't need to have a whole extra pair of shoes for dressy occasions? ...Why are you looking at me with pity eyes?"

[b]2. Are you on social media? Who’s in your profile pictures with you?[/b]
"You ask as if my profile picture is of myself. I do not have a good picture of myself, so instead I take a picture of my most recent favourite anime character. Currently this is Matoi Ryuko from Kill la Kill. Have you seen this show? No? I must recommend... actually, perhaps not. It is... well, it is not for everybody."

[b]3. How many romantic relationships have you had?[/b]
"When I was very young, I had a boyfriend, but he dumped me over the phone because he said he had not seen me in over a week and that was the only way he could get a hold of me. Is this acceptable, normally? I'm afraid I still don't really know. My second was just last year, a girl had asked me out, and we went on a few dates, but she too wanted me to text her every day. Who has the time for this? I... tried to let her down gently. I do not think she took it very well, but were we that serious in the first place? Again, I'm afraid I don't really know. Perhaps I am not cut out for this romance yet. There is much to learn..."

[b]4. Are they right- or left-handed?[/b]
"I was born right-handed, though now you cannot really tell the difference in my penmanship because it has degraded over time. Who writes things these days anyway? Does this count as ambidextrous?"

[b]5. What charities do they donate to?[/b]
"Does giving blood count as donating to charity? I'm afraid I don't really make a point to give my money regularly... is this unusual for somebody with no stable income?"

[b]6. What are your biggest fears?[/b]
"I dislike it when I do not know where I am. As long as I have my feet on the ground and know my way home, I can conquer anything! Anything at all! Hmm, perhaps not everything. I am still spooked by girly clothes, do not ask why, please."

[b]7. How much money do you make?[/b]
"This is a question as though I make a stable income, as though I have employment, yes? I am afraid this is not the case. Though if I need something, I can usually ask Papa. I do not think that we are short on money, if that was the direction of the question."

[b]8. What is your ethnicity?[/b]
"Ah, je suis Canadienne, French-Canadian you would say. From Quebec, on the outskirts of Quebec city. I must recommend this area... although it may be difficult if you do not know proper french."

[b]9. Do you speak with an accent?[/b]
"You have noticed my accent? I apologize if this makes me difficult to understand. I get many people thinking that my vocabulary is not good because of how heavy my accent is, but this is not the case. It is simply the way I speak."

[b]10. What did you dress as for Halloween last year?[/b]
"This is slightly embarassing, but I did not do anything for Halloween last year. I had planned to meet some friends, but when the day came, I completely forgot. While children were trick-or-treating, I had fallen asleep watching anime. C'est la vie. This year perhaps I shall dress up."

[b]11. What are your email addresses, blogs, and websites? Passwords?[/b]
"This... this is a very personal question, is it not? Oooh ooh! Oh! Oooooooh! You should check out my Tumblr! Ah, perhaps not. I got very excited, but you are not of this niche, I presume. Zut, I thought I might gain another follower. Sometimes I forget that not everyone is like me, you know?"

[b]12. What are you superstitious about?[/b]
"Emm, perhaps this is just me personally, but have you ever noticed that street lights turn off when you run under them at night? And then they turn back on again once you are past? I have read that this is caused by an electromagnetic field given off by certain people! ...Eh? 'Power-cycling?' I do not know what this means."

[b]13. Are you allergic to anything?[/b]
"Nothing comes to mind, really."

[b]14. What hobbies do you have?[/b]
"Sometimes I feel as though my life is just a collection of hobbies. Running, camping, hiking, watching anime, listening to music, dancing, all sorts of things."

[b]15. Do you keep secrets?[/b]
"NON! ...I mean, emm, no. Not well, anyway. Please do not tell me anything you don't want people to know, I beg you."

[b]16. What is your astrological signs?[/b]
"I am a Taurus, if you believe in that sort of thing. I mean, it fits, n'est-ce pas? Bull-headed and all. I am not convinced."

[b]17. What is your taste in movies, books, and music?[/b]
"You are already aware of my taste for anime and manga, yes? Aside from that, I like anything that drips with too much drama. No reality TV though, please. I dislike the... manipulative nature of this. As far as music, I enjoy all sorts of things, but mostly I listen to hip-hop classics of the 90s. Rap these days has only a very small piece of the integrity and meaning that the old style had, I think."

[b]18. Do you have scars?[/b]
"I have plenty of rough patches from repeated falls, fractured bones and such, but I have never really had a deep cut that would leave a scar, no."

[b]19. What are your feelings on gay marriage, abortion, legalization of marijuana, or other controversial topics?[/b]
"I simply do not get involved. I am only smart enough to know that I am not smart enough for these topics. Other people are affected deeply by these, but I do not have the stake or passion, I am afraid. I hope you do not think less of me for this."

[b]20. Any tattoos or piercings?[/b]
"None."

[b]21. What does their handwriting look like?[/b]
"You... do not truly wish to know the answer to this. No, I will not provide a demonstration, you will only laugh at me."

[b]22. What is your religious background?[/b]
"Like most of the area I grew up, my family was catholic. As for me, I could not say. It seems easy to believe these things, but again, I know I am simply not smart enough. Perhaps I will never know."

[b]23. Where do you like to shop?[/b]
"I have difficulty when talk comes to brands, to tell the truth. Most of my wardrobe consists of workout clothes, so I tend to shop wherever has a good deal."

[b]24. What is your relationship like with your sibling(s)?[/b]
"I am an only child, unfortunately. However, I have always wanted an imouto, a younger sister, to dote on and give life advice to. Oh, she would confide in me, and we would fight against the world together for the sake of her passions. All of her friends would-" [i]She continues like this for over ten minutes.[/i]

[b]25. Do you have enemies? How did you make them?[/b]
"I do not think I have any enemies...? Although I have been secretly bullied by somebody for a while. I suppose perhaps somebody does not agree with my personality? I do not remember getting into any fights with anybody. It is a puzzle to me, but I do not mind so much. I have probably done something to deserve it."

[b]26. What are your ambitions? Do you have a “five-year plan”?[/b]
"I would like to do as my Papa wants, and help him reform his company's image. I do not know if I am up to the task, but he seems to think that I am, so perhaps there is something I can do. I do not have a particular plan except to simply get through school. This is what is required of me, I think."

[b]27. What are your political preferences?[/b]
"My preference is to let people who are smarter than me decide what is best for the country. I cannot even vote anyway."

[b]28. What do you habitually keep in your cupboards, medicine cabinets, and purses?[/b]
"I think that I eat much like a regular person, although I try to have some Jam! on hand for when I need a bit of a kick. For the other times, I keep sleeping pills for when I have too much kick. I also try to have a basic first aid kit in my bathroom to treat basic scrapes and bruises. I do not own a purse, as I have never understood what was wrong with pockets. Inside my pockets is simply my wallet and my phone, usually."

[b]29. What are your favorite outfits/pieces of clothing?[/b]
"Sweats! Very easy to move in, great for working out, lounging, and nobody can see your underwear! You can get all sweaty from a run and then come home and change into a different set of workout clothes and you are still comfortable. And still nobody can see your underwear! It is wonderful."

[b]30. What do you keep in remote storage?[/b]
"I... do not know what this is? Something for when there is no room in your house? Why would I keep that much stuff? ...Is this an American thing, to have too many things?"

[b]31.  Are you a night owl or a morning person?[/b]
"I prefer mornings, though I pull late nights very often as well. I enjoy any time when I can go for a run and there are no cars on the road or people on the sidewalk. It feels like my own small world."[/hider]
