Personality:Mac ain’t exactly the most complicated kid on the block. She just likes having fun, y’know? To that extent, she’s a playful gal. She’s always down for some good ol’ fashioned ribbing, taking her own share in stride. Usually. Sometimes she doesn’t know when she’s taken it too far. Quite frankly, she’s pretty poor at reading people in general, unless it’s pretty obvious.
Going hand-in-hand with Mac’s playfulness is her fierce competitive nature. Just about anything and everything can be turned into a game in her mind, and the bigger the stakes, the better. She’s a driven individual, always wanting to be the best at whatever she does, be it volleyball, pickup basketball, or even tic-tac-toe. And when she wins, Mac’s on top of the world. For the most part, she’s a graceful winner...unless the loser is a friend. God help them if so. But should Mac lose...well, she doesn’t take the L well. She’ll get upset and usually beat herself up, regardless of how well she did or ended up. Second place? Might as well be last.
Winning really is everything to the girl. But she doesn’t just expect to be handed first place. Winning’s no fun if not earned, so she takes every competition seriously, expecting no less from her opponent. If you wanna be the best, you gotta play the best. And if you wanna play the best, you gotta be willing to put in the work. That’s something Mac lives by faithfully. She practices, practices, practices, and then practices some more. Whatever it takes to reach the top, she’ll do.
Well...kinda.
Mac’s not the best team player around. She has difficulty relying on others in a competition. She’d rather try to shoulder the weight of the entire team than watch somebody else blow her chance of winning. It’s not entirely unfair to call her a selfish player, though she doesn’t perform the way she does for glory. She just wants the win, and she’s more than willing to be the entire team if need be. That can lead the girl to make some poor decisions, but repeated past successes have more or less shown that that can work...or at least it did in basketball. It’s not that she’s trying to be malicious, she’s just rash and impulsive, sometimes getting so invested in what she’s doing that she can’t help but want to be everywhere, to do everything. It’s something that she’s aware of and is trying to fix, but... old habits die hard.
