Name Maybelle (or Belle for short)
Gender Female
Age 24
Species Human
Occupation Cirque du Noire, Acrobat
Appearance Maybelle is someone who seems to stick out from the crowd. Her pinkish, uneven hair and icy blue eyes with slitted pupils would most likely be the reason why. The eyeliner makes her eyecolor pop even more. Rarely does she use any makeup other than eyeliner. Right below her right eye, there is a black star-shaped tattoo. She has a imperially slim body. Claw-like fingers attached to slender with a light build arm rest at her sides. Just like her arms, Maybelle's legs are lightly built and thin. Her skin has a slight tan and is soft to the touch. A pair of black spectacles is worn, dued to vision. Maybelle's clothes are usually colorful and layered during her performances. When not at work, her wardrobe works around what the weather is like, and are not as brilliant as her work clothes. She is around 95 pounds and is 6 feet tall. To most people, she has a feline stance.
Picture ColorfulnessPersonality Let's just say her personality in not exactly found in the way she dresses. She is basically a quiet and laid-back person. Being negative is something she'll do once in a while, and prefers to be that way when needed (or when choosen). Her high intellect is rarely used (unless she's doing something mentally). Other than that she can be friendly and caring towards others if she's familiar with them.
Abilities She has an extremely limber body. This adds on to her agility and balance. She is also a little good at being stealthy. There is a 10 in switchblade that resides in one of her pockets when she's not at work.
Weaknesses Back to the stealthy part, Maybelle's hair and eye color makes being stealthy more challenging. She also has a phobia of vast bodies of water, and without her glasses, you can basically say she is blind.
Backstory When she was growing up, Maybelle lived a common lifestyle and was home schooled in a town right outside of Gaia. She looked nothing like her parents when she was born. To her family, it was odd occurence, yet in the town they were living, it was quite normal. If someone were to compare her to her parents, they would have thought she was adopted, but there was full-blown proof that she was their child. As she got older, though, her family had started calling her an abomination or monster. Some were even cruel to her. Despite the family's remarks, her parents loved her dearly. The family's cruelity started to make her harden. So, she tried her best to stay sane in front of family. It was a wonder how she hadn't lost her mind yet.
When she was 13, an incident occured. Her aunt and uncle invited Maybelle and her parents to test drive their new boat. As they took a sharp turn, someone pushed her out of the boat. Icy, cold water met her skin, and caused her to shiver at it's touch. She tried to stay above water as long as she could, calling for help and gasping for air. Eventually, the currents pulled her under, causing her to start drowning. Then, firm hands grabbed her arm and yanked her out of the water. A cough of water escaped from her lips. Everything around her was blurry. She then fainted, and woke up in a hospital bed. As she examined the room from her bed, she began to panic. Everything around her was abnormally blurry. She called for her parents, and soon they were in the room. They had a doctor examine her eyes. Apparently, a nerve was hit that caused her vision to screw up. Luckily, she wasn't blind. All she had to wear was a pair of thick glasses (well, spectacles actually). Her sanity had almost broke then.
One day, as she tried doing front flips, her parents noticed her flexibility. It was then that they hired a gymnastic teacher for her. She ended up becoming better than her teacher over the months. He was quite surprised at how nimble and flexible she was. When he had taught her what he knew, he then left. From then on, she practiced by herself.
Maybelle eventually left home, and decided to explore the world of Gaia. She seemed normal amongst most Gaians, and began to like it there. And as she was walking around a town one day, there was a festival going on. In the middle of this, there was a large tent. It made her curious, and she walked to it to examine it. Someone near her called it a circus. Then she reached into her pocket and pulled out some money. The circus sounded like an interesting thing. She took a quick glance at the entrance, wondering what it was like. Eventually, she walked over to it and bought a ticket. It was like a dream when she walked in. Soon, she took a random seat in the middle row.
This was the first time she had ever been to a circus, so everything was new to her. But this circus wasn't just a circus. It was... well... there was no word to actually describe it. The performance was otherworldly, though. When it was over, she felt kind of disappointed. She wanted to see more of the performances, but she knew she sounded greedy. As she walked out the circus tent, there was a flier that landed in front of her. While she read the paper, and her eyes grew wide for a second. They were advertising for more circus recruits for Cirque du Noire. The idea then faded from her mind.
How do I possibly join, if I'm not talented at something? But then it hit her. She could work as an acrobat. Maybelle eventually found Madame Sil and asked to join Cirque du Noire. Madame Sil willingly accepted her after watching her mini performance.
