Well... This took me a long time to write. I never really write these detailed backstories so this was uncharted waters for me, but I did it! I knew if I didn't do it now, I would never do it and would miss out on this awesome concept! (even though this took me 3 hours to write... Lots and lots of breaks included.) 

So before you read this, I made a few assumptions which is totally fine with me if I need to edit them. These may not make sense before you read my character submission, but it seemed more logical to put them up here with the rest of my 'ramblings'. 
1. I made her have a Ukrainian nationality (at least until age 5). Is this possible? I don't know if air/boat travel is possible with the pests. If not, I will edit this. Otherwise I'll leave it as it is :)
2. Is poker a thing in this universe? :P Sorry, just a random thought but it is still an assumption
3. Maddox deals in illegal fire-arms. Is this possible? The Maniacles have great guns I suppose, but are there guns that are illegal? Or are there restrictions on them? I don't know if you need a permit or anything? In short, is it okay if her backstory includes her dealing in illegal fire-arms?

Lastly, after you reviewed my character (and either accept it or don't, up to you although I hope the first), is there anything that bothers you or you think is too OP or too heavily focussed on one side of the good-bad spectrum. I tried to balance it out with strengths and weaknesses since I don't want my character to come over like a generic bad person that doesn't care about anyone and just shoots the first thing they see, so I hope that's not the case. If you feel like it is, please tell me because then I will edit that a bit to sound a bit more believable. 
4. I also assumed a lot about how the world is different with pests. I don't really know which year they arrived, but since you said that they were around as long as anyone can remember, I think well above 80+ years? That means that the world is different and that children will learn to defend themselves earlier. Specifically why Maddox learned to handle a gun at the mere age of 10.

Prepare for long amount of text. I got a little bit carried away I suppose.

Maddox was born in the south of Ukraine close to the Russian border. Her mother died in childbirth and at age 5 she was brought to America by a friend of her late father. She grew up there in the outskirts of New York City. She didn't know the English language, nor did she know the culture. Fortunately, it didn't take her too long to adapt. Because she was still young, she learned English pretty quick (although her Ukrainian accent is still noticeable to this day) and adapted to the culture fairly well even though she never really fitted in with the other children. Be it her past or her nature, Maddox always enjoyed being the quiet child. She would often go off on her own and explore the woods, or craft random things with what she found in those woods. 

At age 10 she found a body in the woods. Strangely enough it didn't bother her that much. She had seen death before when she was a baby. She was too young to remember, but it distanced her from the fear and horrors of death. In fact, she felt a weird moment of peace seeing the sprawled out body. There was nothing to be done about it. There were people to blame, but it was over. It was done. Nothing could change the fact that he was dead. That constant comforted her, even if it was through death. After that ordeal her adoptive father learned her how to handle fire-arms to protect herself. She loved it. It wasn't necessarily that she liked the power she had with it - only partly -, it was the power [i]it[/i] had. One small bullet in a covert machine could kill a man. 6 bullets in only 1 machine could kill 6 (if you were a good shot that is). Maddox never really thought about taking a man's life with it, but it still fascinated her how easy it was and would be.

In later years when she got older, she dealt in illegal fire-arms. It made a pretty substantial amount of cash, and seeing how Maddox didn't really care about the law, she was a pretty good dealer. She didn't start out that way of course. At age 15 she often shoplifted. She naturally looked for camera's and always wanted made sure she wasn't seen. She got caught a couple of times, but it didn't have major repercussions since she never stole really valuable items. She mostly stole because she wanted to see if she could do it, to prove something to herself or others, to win bets or even for the thrill. Later she turned to pickpocketing. At times when she was feeling 'generous' she gave it back to the owner and said that they had dropped it. Her troublesome streak of events didn't go unnoticed. At the age of 17, she was approached by someone who wanted her to deal in all sort of stuff. Not just stealing, but smuggling. It started of slow with items that weren't worth much. Stolen watches and stuff. In later years she climbed up the ladder and eventually started dealing fire-arms. Mostly small ones that she could carry with her, but occasionally she deals rifles and bigger units.

Maddox has quite a good aim, especially with hand guns. She learned to shoot at the 'young' age of ten (young being in quotation marks since pests would make people more willing to teach their kids how to defend themselves at younger ages). She picked the skill up pretty quickly, but the main reason for her good aim is her ability to control her breath. A steady breath, combined with the ability to separate the emotional and rational, makes her have a steady hand which in turn causes her to have a good aim.

Stealth. Seeing how Maddox deals in illegal fire-arms, her stealth game has to be on point. She used to play hide and seek as a kid, and would hardly be found. She knows how and where to hide, and more importantly, when to come out of hiding.[/hider]
[hider=Miscellaneous]
Surprisingly good at games like poker. She has a natural ability to twist the truth and to bluff. During her time shopliften, pickpocketing and dealing illegal fire-arms, she got better at this skill. She often had to lie to avoid getting caught, or talk herself out of a tricky situation. She still has a lot to learn, but at least in card games she can be really convincing.

She was offered the job after she was ratted out by a fellow dealer. It was supposed to be a partnered mission. One being the distraction and Maddox being the one who smuggled a few guns. When her partner was close to being caught, he pretended he spotted the guns she had on her, causing her to be arrested. Not soon after, she was approached by someone who recruited new employees and thus offered her the job. She could either take it, or be in prison for most - if not all - of her life. She gladly took it. It meant that her crimes were exonerated to an extend and it meant that she had a job. She liked dealing. Having the thrill and the excitement, but this was another adventure Maddox was exited to try

[hider=Strengths]
-Good aim
-Stealth
-Notices surroundings. She always looks for camera's, nearest exits, things to defend herself with in case something goes wrong, etc.
-Convincing/pretty good liar (it makes her good at card games like poker and gets her out of tricky situations)
[/hider]
[hider=Weaknesses]
-Trust issues (she was betrayed by someone she trusted before, but it made her not trust anyone with important things again)
-Gets annoyed quickly
-Lacks sympathy 
-Devotes herself too much to jobs/what needs to be done, instead of thinking about the people 'close' to her. This connects to her being more rational than emotional
[/hider]
[hider=Neither]
-Ability to separate the emotional and the rational. This can work in her favour, but can make her act rude or uncaring
-The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the most (except when it's about her. She puts her survival in the first place).
