Maxine Connelly

"Don't hide from me, because I will not always chase you. Don't hide from yourself, because you will not always succeed in refinding what was lost."

Name: Maxine Connelly Alias: Buttercup Age: 19 Group: Colorless Position: Master of the colorless member with a color relative ​

"Everyone who experiences pain must inevitably face two choices: forgive your past, or destroy yourself hating it."

Personality: Maxine is the quiet sort, who never seems to have much to say, but when she does speak, it tends to be a little bit strange, either riddles or moral lessons. She tends to seem very serious, but she has her playful sides, and is particularly childish with people she is close to. Although, she would have no problem with their powers dying out, and she's a bit awkward when it comes to human interaction, she has a heart deeply caring of other people, and could never be one of the colored. When she is angry, she can be pretty scary, fierce and almost wild, in a sense, but it's almost impossible to tell when she's sad, because it doesn't show.

History: She grew up abused by her father until the age of six, when both her parents died in a car crash. She was taken in by the colorless community, and taken care of, though few people got very close to her, because of her overly serious attitude. Not long after, she met Zack and eventually became his master. Their relationship was never romantic, but they are close and comfortable with each other, almost like two halves of one unit, rather than each individual units. They both work best together and act rather like a couple that's been married for so long the romance isn't needed anymore. She's never hidden these parts, and her history is common knowledge.​

"If I can see things you can't, will you worship me? If I can crush your heart in my hand, will you fear me?"

Full/Half: Full Powers:​

Eternity Seed​

Allows her to plant the seeds of an emotion in someone's heart by touching them. She can only do one at a time, and it works best with either love or doubt, and when directed at a specific target. It doesn't always come to fruition, if situations don't work out that way. On top of which, she has to be very intentional about it and has to come into direct skin contact with them. However, it can't be fully dislodged by anyone except for her, so it will always leave the victim with a niggling emotion they can't quite get rid of, which is why it's so powerful when used for doubt. (She didn't use this power on Zack)​

Shattered Sight​

Allows her to see the weaknesses of people. That is to say, what they are physically worst at, and what their insecurities and personality deficiencies are. Her golden eyes turn red when she's using this power. Skillsets:​

Martial ARTist​

She knows and has always been really great at a number of martial arts, but the main thing interesting about it is that no matter what she does, she can make it look beautiful, as if her very way of walking were a dance.​

Blending In​

Although she's beautiful and can be a bit flashy, she knows how to kind of blend into the background and not call a lot of attention to herself.​

"You cannot truly love and truly hate any two people at the same time. There is not enough room in the human heart for both."

Extra: Her sense of morality is rigid and unyielding, and despite everything she's been through, she's surprisingly innocent. She always dresses in flexible, short dresses with tights and has her hair up in a ponytail. This allows her to move freely enough. Although she can use a gun if absolutely necessary, she fights best hand-to-hand or with a staff. In the absence of one, she uses her parasol, which she's pretty good at using defensively, since it also has strands of kevlar in it to stop small caliber bullets. Her only accessory besides her parasol is a celtic slave bracelet she wears on her left hand as a symbol of her bond with Zack.
