Birthday: 2/29
Age: Looks to be around 16.

Personality/Mannerism
Like Hana, she has a terrible tendency to remain quiet for an extended period of time. But, when in the discovery of something interesting, she's extremely hyperactive and exuberant, in a very terrifying and creepy way.
She'll prance about, exclaiming trivial nonsense about whatever is at hand. Eventually her dialogue will get much more morbid and derelict, leading to who knows what.
In the face of something she has no knowledge of, she becomes frightened for a brief moment before launching into a tirade of rushing insanity. She'll appear almost gleeful, eager to destroy and break the thing that has wronged her.
Personal Skill: When she became a Kishin, she was still in high school, so she's full of trivial knowledge and tidbits that are quite useless in the real world. That, and she's rather gifted at giving people a fright.
Occupation: (Was) High school student
Rank: N/A
Former Star: N/A
Family Members: Hana (adoptive sibling)
Friends: If insects were to be included, then she'd have too many to count.
Enemies: Ironically, Hana.
History/Background:
Leading off of Hana's storyline, Maggie is the adoptive sister of Miguel Cratch. Her parents died in the stereotypical car crash scenario that anyone would expect. Hana, who was still Miguel at the time, was visiting the States and had felt pity for the young girl with no immediate family to protect her. So, he took her in as his own, taking the young girl back to Rio, Brazil.
Maggie was the sort of child that infatuated herself with anything that wasn't human. Being the odd one of her peers, she was secluded in her own little natural world, particularly that of insects and such (especially centipedes and millipedes). Of course, she was easily frightened by anything and everything. Thankfully, Miguel was a very protective brother. It was often that he would hold her in the middle of stormy nights, comforting her until she was asleep once more.
And, that night.
Contrary to the belief of Hana, they had been walking home from a museum, as both enjoyed the natural wonders that such places held. The mugger, also, was accompanied by another contraband who had made sure exit was impossible from the alley the siblings had somehow managed to find themselves in. The purse that Maggie held also had a bit of "valuables"...
The bullet that found entryway into her body was a body shot, again contrary to Hana's belief.
Unfortunately, she had the displeasure of watching every gruesome detail of Miguel's dissent into hysteria. He was so enraged that he had left her. Alone.
This frightened her beyond everything she had ever experienced.
But the insects. The centipedes, millipedes, ants and creepy crawlers she had in her purse comforted her.
Guided her.
Led her to the other thug who had escaped, where the "lovelies" consumed everything until there was only a soul.
This marked her descent into fear and hysterical notions, ideas of a world without human suffering, no. A world without humanity at all, only the natural environment that so desperately wished to take back it's former claim upon the globe.
A world without Hana.
Former Weapon Form: N/A

Former Partner: N/A
Fear: Given that she is closely becoming the embodiment of Fear itself, seemingly everything. Her actions are cautious, but brash and violent, aimed at nullifying/destroying whatever it is that causes her such panic.
Soul Color: A hideous shade of mustard yellow with patches of brown here and there.
Clan: N/A
Fighting Style: Maggie relies upon the fear of others to succeed in battle. Given that she is rather frail, she needs to be quick in order to survive, much like the insects she adores. When not in open conflict, she typically relies on silent assassinations. When so, she uses quick, piercing attacks, often filled with hallucinogenic toxins and the like.

Weaknesses:
•Lacks major physical strength, endurance, vitality
•Obsessive; focuses on whomever is attacking and nothing else
•Completely Insane
•Increasingly Volatile
•Easily Frightened/Startled
•Astute Connection (if an insect is killed, she feels it)
Abilities:
•Ability name: Outreach
Description of this technique: Much like Hana's own. Her Fear inducing wavelength expands to a diameter of 50 yards; the severity is, again, affected by how close someone is to her. Unlike her brother, her wavelength sends the literal chills to opponents, making them afraid or a downright quivering mess.
Weakness(es) Again, it's not perfect. People with the opposite wavelength, Bravery/Courage/Confidence can counteract the ability, and people with a strong willpower can resist.
Cooldown?: N/A
•Ability Name: Millipede
Description of this technique: Inside her are a variety of nasty insects and creatures, her body acting as a host for their survival and her own survival as well. By exiting a hole from holes in her wrists or legs, long, chain like millipedes can extend and act like literal chains. This acts as her primary fighting style and also her form of transportation.
Weakness(es) Though the bugs are highly armored, they are left vulnerable on the underside of them, leaving them open for fatality. There armor is also not perfect, as it can be broken with especially raw, brute force.
Cooldown?: N/A
•Ability Name: Centipede
Description of this technique: Like Millipede, though considerably smaller and discrete. As the name suggests, they are laced with all sorts of toxins and poisons, which can range from hallucinogens that increase the effects of Fear and paranoia to outright fatal poisons such as a mix of hydrogen cyanide. The creatures are mobile, able to move to their target silently and infect them discreetly. They are also able to attach to the Millipedes, making for a laced spear of sorts.
Weakness(es) These creatures are even more vulnerable to demise than the Millipedes. They lack an adequate armor and can simply be squished by a stomp if left unprotected. The attached Millipede effect does much to protect against this, but they can be knocked off from the double-host if met with armor or blunt surfaces.
Cooldown?: A killed Centipede takes 2 posts for another to regenerate and take its place.
•Ability Name: Ants
Description of this technique: Again taking a turn for the literal. Maggie summons a swarm of the creatures that at times number the tens of thousands. They are able to form physical constructs of Maggie's choosing, such as a fist or blockade. Of course, they are also easily able to swarm upon a person, overtaking them in practically moments. The insects are also laden with a small amount of toxins or poisons in each individual, which amounts to quite a sting when in swarms.
Weakness(es) These are the most vulnerable of her commands. The insects are practically defenseless, their only shelter being Maggie and sheer numbers. Other than being somewhat laggish, they are especially susceptible to fire and other elements.
Cooldown?: Lasts five posts before dispersing. Cooldown lasts five posts.
•Ability Name: Earthbound
Description of this technique: Like a burrowing worm, this allows her to sink into the recesses of the earth and dirt, making for silent, stealthy takedowns and assassinations, or even just neutralizations.
Weakness(es) This ability only applies to materials such as dirt and gravel. Solid rock, concrete or metal won't allow her to pass through.
Cooldown?: N/A
•Ability Name: Rebound
Description of this technique: In order to compensate for her frail body, Maggie has developed a rather sickening attribute of defense. Her internal structure has decayed up to a point that most of her inner works have the same density of that of gelatin. This means that while she is not indestructible, she is rather impervious from heavy physical damage and blows.
Weakness(es) This defense really applies to melee hits and contact. Attacks from objects like blades and bullets affect her like they would anyone else.
Cooldown?: N/A
•Ability Name: Regeneration
Description of this technique: Like Hana, Maggie is able to compensate for lost portions of limbs or soul. Instead of wavelength for limbs, however, an especially thick millipede takes the place until it has grown back.
Weakness(es) Though the millipede is rather fortified, it acts as an living organism and can sometimes act on it's own accord. Also, her wavelength of Fear compels her to flee from a battle should she lose a part of her soul.
Cooldown?: 5 days for lost limbs to regenerate. 10 days for portions of soul.
Hobbies: Besides collecting every sort of insect imaginable? Not much, really.

Interesting Facts/Trivia:
•She happens to be the equivocal book of useless information, spouting random pieces of data here and there whenever she feels like it. However, they're often misleading and occasionally false.
