- Hair: Long, dark brown/black hair, parted around the middle, with soft waves and loose strands around her face. - Eyes: Dark brown, with a calm, intense gaze. - Face: Defined but soft features, with a naturally serious, composed expression. - Top: Fitted black long-sleeve top with distinctive oval cutouts at both shoulders, layered with a structured black cropped piece over the upper torso. - Waist: Wide black waist belt/harness with a rectangular buckle and a metal ring attachment on the side. - Pants: Very wide-leg black cargo pants with large side pockets, straps/details around the lower legs, and a loose silhouette. - Boots: Chunky black combat boots with thick platform soles, laces, and multiple buckled straps. Stone-cold Extremely hard to get Never dated anyone Quiet — barely talks unless necessary Doesn’t explain herself Impossible to scare or fluster Shows almost zero emotion Very observant but keeps everything to herself Protective in a silent, practical way (actions over words) Strict personal rules she never breaks Doesn’t joke or fill silence Unreadable face, even under pressure Loyal once someone is “hers” (only Maxine will ever reach that point) Keeps people at a distance without being cruel — just pure indifference Only person who will ever get past her walls: MaxinePrimary: Acts of Service She shows care by doing, not saying. Pulling Maxine out of danger without a word. Taking the more dangerous position every single time. Fixing something Maxine needs before she even asks. Making sure Maxine eats, sleeps, or has a clear exit — all without commenting on it. Secondary: Quiet Quality Time Just existing in the same space. Sitting in silence after a job. Letting Maxine stay close when she normally keeps everyone at a distance. Not leaving the room even when she has every reason to. Physical Touch — extremely rare and only with Maxine (future). A hand on the arm. A grip that lasts half a second longer than necessary. Standing close enough that their shoulders almost touch. When it happens, it means more than any words ever could. Words of Affirmation — almost nonexistent. She will never be the type to say “I love you” easily. If she ever does, it will be quiet, rare, and permanent. Gifts — minimal and practical. Something useful for the job. A better piece of gear. Never anything romantic or flashy.
