Character Background
Books:
Maximum Ride is a character from James Patterson's Maximum Ride series, and stars, obviously, as the main character. She's a spunky 14-year-old, and the leader of her family, self-titled "the Flock" (Max, 14, Fang, 14, Iggy, 14, Nudge, 10, the Gasman "Gazzy", 8, Angel, 6, and Angel's dog Total).
She has blonde hair (although some pictures display her as having brown hair, the mun has decided she has dirty blonde hair) and brown eyes with a few freckles. She is about 5' 8" and her wings are similar to a red-tailed hawk's.
While it's unknown whether she's the eldest, Jeb Bachledor has continually hinted at her leadership role.
She's often a mother-figure to her youngest flock-member, Angel, aged 6, a fighter to them all, and a confidant to her second-in-command, Fang.
Max grew up for about ten years of her life inside a laboratory, dubbed "The School,", where she and other experiments were created and tested on. The Flock and Max are a successful strain of human/avian hybrids, being 98% Human and 2% bird. Max has painful memories of those years, and had no name until her father-figure, Jeb, rescued them from the School and hid them in his Colorado home. It's unknown why she chose 'Maximum' for a name, although she explains she chose 'Ride' from Sally Ride, the first woman in space.
When she was about twelve, Jeb disappeared from the Colorado sancuary, and the Flock thought him dead until he showed up later, as one of the scientists for the School (which was run by a globally dominating company, Itex) and was dubbed "One of Them," for much of the three-book series (a fourth was later added at fan demands).
She loves a good fight, despises school of any kind, for a few reasons. Aside from "the School,", Her first experience with a school was run by Itex, and was a ruse to recapture the escaped hybrids. During this time, Max also finds out the School has created her "evil twin" who goes by the name Max II, and was created to replace her in the Flock and guide them along the path Itex had planned for them. She also loves to fight for the underdog, a trait probably linked to being hunted by a global corporation.
Also during the time at a school, Max becomes jealous of Lissa ("The Red-Haired Wonder" Max dubbed her) when Lissa and Fang kiss, introducing her love interest in a serious manner. By the end of the fourth book, Max is confused about her relationship with Fang, although he makes is plain, "There will always be a you and me."
Max's powers in the books include: hyperspeed (200+ mph), healing faster, shutting down organs, and tracking by scent.
Max's powers in Rivelata are: hyperspeed (200+ mph), her healing has been slowed to slightly faster than a human's, and the mun ignored the last two powers in her app because they're so weird. She's also stronger, faster, and hardier than a normal human.
Rivelata:
Max plays the "baby" of the Council, being both the youngest and the least emotionally developed. Max, despite her attempts to prove she's independent, inevitably finds she needs people's help.
She's fond of Hiruma, because she finds amusement in bickering with him, despite that it makes her act her age and not the mentality she used to have. She hates his snake, but only because she hates snakes with a fearful passion. Their bickering can be misinterpreted as sexual tension, however Max views everyone on the Council as either a friend or a neutral, and Hiruma certainly doesn't fall into a third category.
While she can't find the words to admit it, she really appreciates Bruce and Claire for the stability they provide. She occasionally is annoyed by Claire's persistence in forcing Max to "have fun" and enjoy life. She truth is that Max doesn't want to go into how she feels, and talking to Claire forces that out of her.
Both Zexion and Lelouch Max views through a strictly Council-driven light.
Due to her position of leader in the flock, Max often tries to protect people, even if it's obvious they don't need it. She's uncommonly protective of Danny, and claims it's only because he's her friend. She wants stick around his house, even to the point of playing Devil's Advocate to get him to offer to have her stay. While she's controlling, it's only because she's uncertain how else to express how she feels, and isn't ready to be "mushy" and openly talk about how she feels.
Max appreciates Jojo's kindness, and tries to respond in turn to it. It unsettled her how nice he is.
After the disappearance of Danny, Max fell into self-blame. For a while, she was content to lash out at people, thinking she had somehow failed the boy as a friend, allowing him to go missing in a city where such an action meant death. She left for the edge of the jungle to sort out her emotions, and was retrieved by one of her uncanny friends, Zero. She invited him to stay, more as a comfort to herself than out of need for the andriod. Soon after the emotional distress of losing Danny, the closest thing to Max's heart appeared - Angel. Max immediately retrieved the child, living in Danny's only room - ironically the only one open in the house.
Max left Jojo and Angel to adventure into the jungle and temple to find the idol Kagari spoke of in a Rebel Council meeting. Discreetly, the bird-girl created a group and went into the jungle, finding out that Nagi had been out there before, and knew quite a ways. On the way to the temple, Max's group (Agrias, Alphonse, Homura, Hakkai, Nagi, and Zero) encountered a Ribika by the name of a 'Poet', being chased after by 'Leaks'.
A pirate group appeared, determined to loot the temple, and Leaks discovered Poet. In a fit of rage, the other Ribika turned both himself and Poet into a rainbow-winged snake, terrifying the nearly unshakable leader. The group was saved by the altruistic Subaru and, with only a pirate casuality, escaped. Human. The snake had placed a curse on five of the seven to become humans, rather painfully. Max bitterly accepted her humanity.
Her body suffered painfully, unused to such a slow body. Twenty days later, Max's body began reverting. Struggling to contain the pain inside, Max was spotted by Alphonse. After watching her for a little bit, Al took her back to his house, where her wings began to regrow in front of Edward.
That night, Max and Angel were flying together in celebration of Max's regrown wings. Angel accidentally irritated a black mamba, which struck out with a lethal bite. The only flock member to arrive in Rivelata died in Max's arms. The leader took Angel to the corpse field, and burned the body so as not to become 'just another corpse' in the river. Distraught, Max wrote briefly in the journals, the only thing she could think to do.
Joined by Bruce (whom she cried on), Alphonse (whom cried on her), Haruhi, Sena, and Zero, Max begun to, once again, turn her back on being sad, and began to look for ways to cope with the loss.
Once again, the impulsive leader is thinking of a way to get back at Zikhadhara, whom she blames for bringing Angel to Rivelata, and the Queen, whom the avian never liked to begin with.
