[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Maude is a bit apprehensive to interact with. She's grumpy, unfriendly, impatient, suspicious of strangers, a high-class anti-socialite, and easier to piss off than a bull with a nail in it's rear. Most probably don't have a high opinion of her, but those with enough patience and alcohol to actually get to know her know she doesn't usually mean to be this way. Maude never really figured out how to deal with people and she's incredibly incapable of expressing her thoughts or feelings. It's childish, yes, but throwing tantrums and lashing out is the only way she has to cope with things. At least, it was.
For the first time in a a long time, Maude is in a good place. Years of thinking the Goddesses were out to get her have finally been proven wrong and, as people do, she's changing with the times. Check the skies to make sure the world isn't ending, because Maude Lif is calming down. Many of the sources of her unhappiness are gone and with a great deal of suspicion, she's pretty pleased about it. So despite the fact she is still all the things mentioned above, Maude isn't so bad.
More often than not she's disinterested instead of upset. Social interaction is complicated and difficult to her, but if she likes the topic or doesn't feel the pressure to "perform" she can hold up a nice conversation. Having her around to help is invaluable. She has the mind and ethic to build, fix, or do anything or at least she's determined enough to make things work. Get on her good side, but god knows what means, and you'll never get rid of her. Maude is as loyal as a guard dog, more protective than a mother bear, and completely willing to start a fight, even if she's obviously going to lose. She happily works more hours of labor than is ever necessary and puts every once of effort into everything she does. Every social interaction, every hobby, every drinking session, every new activity she already hates doing. Oh Goddesses does she try. Maude Lif can be a wonderful friend.
But most of the time she's just a bitch.
[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]APPEARANCE
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Despite only measuring in at about 5' 6", Maude seems a hell of a lot bigger up close. The most important note of Ms. Lif's appearance is that she is damn intimidating when she wants to be and often when she does not. Her eyes are an icy blue with natural bags that seem to glare at everything they look at. Her hair is a dull, flat black that she lets grow longer than she should before cropping it back down to her shoulders. Usually the cut will come when her bangs start interfering with her sight. Her body is on the thicker side, but Ms. Lif pulls off some pretty nice curves. Not the mention the usual signs of a blue collar worker: farmer's tan, lots of little of bruises and scars, and plenty of muscle to get things done. Her clothes are function over fashion, but she seems to like being barefoot when she can. Her voice has a lilt and a lot of the time she doesn’t care enough to muster more than an irritated moan for communication. The only alternative is a wrench that can be heard from across town. Maude can, of course, produce a variety of facial expression deepening on mood and feeling and other human characteristics, but for the majority of time she looks like she doesn't want to be wherever she is.
[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]BIOGRAPHY
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Maude Lif had a very nice life. She was raised on a large pumpkin plantation with her mother, father, and younger sister. She grew up to inherit her parent's land and for many years she happily lived on that farm. She had her family. She had her work. She had her peace and she felt like she was exactly where she wanted to be. But of course, things didn't stay that way. In her youth, her little sister did all the talking and when she was gone, Maude lost any connection with her friends and neighbors. Her inability to socialize when worsened when her parents passed and without their disapproval, she isolated herself completely. Eventually the farm started to go under. Without anyone to help her or any idea what was wrong, Maude's home started to collapse in on itself. Even working herself to exhaustion she couldn't save it and Maude lost the only home she had ever known, the last remnant of family, and the only aspiration she ever had.
But life goes on
Maude eventually found a new place to settle, one she hated with every fiber of her being. She began to work as a carpenter to make her living and for those few years she was miserable. She was forced to interact with people on a daily basis and certainly didn't make many friends. Her job quickly became more and more infuriating and her recent losts still plagued her mind with grief, but she had no where else to go and no indication leaving would take her anywhere better. She was stuck where she was on a downward slope of depression and alcoholism. Ironically it was through her unhealthy drinking habits that we met Josh.
Joshua Dragonflame is an immature, irritatingly optimistic hero type who thinks he's far funnier than he actually is. He's also the first person to hold any real relationship with Maude outside of her family. How both these sentences can be true is beyond anyone's understanding, but through some means Josh became Maude's closest friend. He was about the only force pushing her to do something besides mope around and bite anyone who came close and he did so quite effectively. During the years after the two met Maude was able to reconnect with her little sister after they had become estranged, her social skills finally started to develop, as did a bit of self-confidence, she became less volatile to deal with, and finally started to look past her feelings of failure and turn her attention to the future, all with Josh's support. Is it any wonder she fell in love really? And alcohol was once again the thing that brought them together.
And now after a few years of happily seeing each other they've stolen away to try at that dream of settling back down in the country. Admittedly, she's a great deal suspicious of how things will turn out, but underneath all that pessimism, she's very excited. For the first time in a far too long, Maude Lif is happy to be where she is.
[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]MISCELLANEOUS
[attr="class","hopelovetop"]
Just talk to her. Respect her space and understand that she doesn't always understand how she comes across or know how to say what she means. Don't be detoured if she lashes out a bit. More likely she's frustrated with herself than actually angry. Don't confuse disinterest with dislike. She's always trying very hard to be polite. She's just not very good at it.
