[indent]Single[/indent]
[b][color=8882be]Personality:[/color][/b] 
[indent]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 doesn't mind providing a listening ear - and you know your secrets would be safe with her - but she cannot share how she feels to others, feeling like she would burden people with unnecessary problems.

While Maxine cannot fight, her skills relying more on escaping and stealth, she will not back down from helping her fellow group fight off a horde. Whether it means that she'll pull injured people aside or aid with keeping the horde away from supplies, her impulsive nature will compel Maxine [i]will[/i] do anything to try and help out.[/indent]

[b][color=8882be]Pre Outbreak Skills:[/color][/b]
[list][*] Bare minimum archery skills
[*] Bare minimum medical knowledge
[*] Stealth[/list]
[b][color=red]*[/color][/b]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 weapons well enough.

[b][color=8882be]Pre Outbreak Skills[/color][/b]
[list][*] Improved archery skills
[*] Basic self defence (most likely taught by a member of the group)
[*] Scavenging
[*] Basic shooting skills (also possibly taught by someone from the group)[/list]
[b][color=8882be]Current Supplies:[/color][/b]
[list][*] Current Clothing - No matter the weather, Maxine is [i]always[/i] dressed in a light-weight [url=http://41.media.tumblr.com/0814f79c492232efc4c524a667b27aee/tumblr_mlofctx9B41sorarpo1_r1_500.jpg]parka[/url] jacket, complete with multiple pockets in order to help storing important stuff easier. As long as she has the important items with her on her person, she doesn't care if she loses her backpack. She also wears a t-shirt under her jacket, a stripped black and white loose shirt she had scavenged not too long ago and black jeans along with some socks and old converses.
[*] A picture of her family, taken from her home back in Atlanta
[*] Four arrows for her bow, all scavenged since the beginning of the apocalypse
[*] A Bowie knife
[*] A small medical kit complete with bandages, disinfectants and even some pills (though she has [i]no idea[/i] what the pills are and whether they're even good to take
[*] A packet of stale crackers to eat during desperate times
[*] A refillable [url=http://alphamom.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Alpha-Mom-Sigg-Active-Top-Bottle.jpg]water bottle[/url]

[b][color=8882be]Your First Walker Encounter:[/color][/b]
[indent]While trying to escape her lecture hall, a walker had cornered Maxine and her friends and denying them a way out unless they killed it. Two of her friends immediately ran back towards the window, deciding to jump to their death from the fourth floor and leaving Max with her then boyfriend, James, still standing by the door. James managed to help them and the rest of the students trapped in the class escape by using a fire extinguisher on the walker, spraying the foam over the walker to distract it while everyone else ran past and out of the university.[/indent]
[b][color=8882be]History Before Outbreak:[/color][/b]
[indent]Growing up in the Scottish city of Perth with two brothers (one older, one younger), Maxine had a loving childhood. Her parents were both hard working individuals, her mother a nurse while her father taught Foreign Languages at the local college. From a young age, Maxine was always encouraged to try new things and take up new hobbies - to find something Maxine loved. By the age of five, Maxine was enrolled in ballet dance to encourage the creative side of her.

Maxine was an extroverted child, always making friends and [i]always[/i] the chatty one. A teacher would even call her the chatter-queen, which Max would proudly accept. Socially accepted and with her education taken care of, Maxine was well taken care of. With the birth of her younger brother when she was eight years old, Maxine was over the moon to be an older sister. She took to the care of her brother, Henry, whenever possible to help ease her mother's tensions.

It wasn't long before ten year old Maxine moved to Atlanta, Georgia with her parents and her brothers, due to her father's job opportunity at the local university. Moving from the somewhat isolated town found within Perth in Scotland to a bustling city, Maxine felt out of her depths. It took a while, but Maxine finally managed to return to her usual bubbly self, if not a little dulled due to her not being familiar with the new people and surroundings. 

Maxine found her love for helping people while shadowing her mother during her new job. Deciding to follow in her mother's footsteps and study medicine, Maxine dropped her dancing hobby (one that she had pursued for almost thirteen years, at that point) for her education, studying hard so that she could improve her average GPA, eventually graduating with a 3.9 GPA from her high school. Soon after graduating, Maxine moved closer to Jacksonville, Florida to study Biology in preparation for medical school, and minoring in Psychology, another subject that was interesting to Maxine. During university, Maxine picked up archery as a hobby, deciding to try something other than dancing as an extra curricular activity.

A year later, Maxine and her group of friends had just arrived for their morning lecture, ready to start their long day at university when the news of the infection broke out, followed by Maxine's first encounter with a walker. [/indent]
[b][color=8882be]History Since Outbreak:[/color][/b]
[indent]It took Maxine a day to gather supplies from within Jacksonville, stealing the bow from her archery club on her way out of the university (but not lucky enough to find any arrows) and using her school bag to dump any and all food and water she could find from her shared apartment with her boyfriend. She found a knife that her father had gifted her, his way of trying to keep her safe in an unknown city. With James, they travelled to Atlanta on foot, the traffic out of Florida a guaranteed way to be killed. It took almost a week, especially with a few breaks in between [s]not to mention they may have gotten lost a couple of times too[/s], but when they finally reached back at Atlanta, things were only going to get worse.

Reaching her home, Maxine found her parents lying dead (gun shot to the head) along with many of the items in her home scavenged and destroyed. It looked like someone ransacked her house along with killing her parents. The worst thing about seeing her parents lying dead was seeing her older brother hunched over their bodies, his back to her as muffled growls were heard. It took her a while to realise her brother had become a monster while her younger brother was still missing...

It took all her strength to not cry and vomit as she stabbed her brother's eyeball, using a nearby lamp to shove through and pierce his brain, ultimately killing him. She didn't want it to be James that killed him, Maxine wanted to be the one who helped eased her brother's suffering. Vowing to find her younger brother and to protect him, Maxine left her home in search.

Two months into the new apocalyptic world, Maxine lost her boyfriend due to bandits (she refuses to talk about it - its only known that she was able to kill the bandit responsible for his death before escaping).

Now, Maxine is with a group based in Georgia, her hope for finding her younger brother still going strong. [/indent]
