Her crisp green eyes are sharp and keen taking in her surroundings with a quiet detail though there is a level of kindness there that shows when she smiles, a smile that can be either wicked and sarcastic or warm and bright, either way it is disarming. Her long straight blond hair that holds several shade running from a dark brown underneath to a golden crown on the top reaches to her lower back and is often left down to hang loose or roughly pulled into a ponytail . Without blemish, her smooth skin is soft as satin and pale as porcelain.<br/><br/><strong>Clothing:</strong> Mae’s style of dress never varies. Her colour of choice is black and will often mix up the different styles combining a corset with a pair of cargo pants or combine a long dark lacy skirt with a pair of army boots. <br/><br/><strong>Equipment:</strong> she likes to think her fists are lethal which gives way to her active imagination, often assuming she can take on more than she is physically able. Her constant companion is a hunting knife she keeps strapped to her leg or arm depending on her wardrobe choice.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong><br/>Mae Little was born on Ariel, daughter to a politician. Raised for the politeness of social events, she rebelled early, stealing time away from the fake smiles in her father’s circles for the refreshing excitement of his vacation craft, a SlimSkimmer, zooming over the water at high speeds. She was meant for excitement and eventually flying. She first stole her father’s skiff for a small but exciting out-of-atmo ride at the age of eleven, and got hooked to the adrenaline. A couple of years later, her wealthy father bought her a custom racing skiff, figuring if he knew what she was doing and if she did it in official races, at least he’d retain some control over her.<br/><br/><br class="clear_left"/>At 16, her parents bought her way into the elite Ariel-Tokubetsu Flight School to become a commercial pilot, but the discipline of rigid study bored her. She washed out in her first semester, despite her natural instincts and skills. Attempting a stint with the volunteer navy, hoping to become a fighter pilot during peacetime, she washed out again due to some unfortunate timing upon the return of a craft she ‘borrowed’ for fun. Her dishonorable discharge earned her a falling out with her parents and they cut her off, both from her inheritance and from contact with the decent law-abiding people of the local voting structure.<br/><br/>Disowned, she worked hard to raise her street cred with some rather shady people, racing on the sidelines against “legitimate” illegal racers. A local mafia boss, Zarek Akando, noted her work and took her aside, making an offer she dare not refuse. So there she was, one of the best pilots around, but with no formal education and working for Akando, the racing circuit boss. Becoming his jockey in the highly illegal Bai Hu races, a no-rules cross-system set of races that are highly promoted and regularly held, she proved a star, folks betting huge sums of money on the adorable little girl-racer.<br/><br/>With time, Akando took a liking to Mae, affectionately calling her his “little swallow” (‘Mar-Chue’) for her piloting skills. He didn’t want her to die on the circuit, fouled by sabotage or a wild risk, nor could he imagine she would stay a jockey long as they tended to be short-lived. At the loss of his considerable profit, he suggested that his old friend and business contact, Griffin Kingston, look over her resume and give her a shot as a running pilot, confident in her social and piloting skills that she would win him over. All Griffin had to do was convince Mae that his work would lead her places she’d never dreamed of and through excitement unforeseen.<br/><br/><strong>Persona:</strong><br/></span></span><div class="floatright">(http://www.iphone-wallpapers.cn/uploads/101209/2010121311504164.jpg)</div><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: georgia;">Mae is a lively, sassy, sarcastic, and naturally comedic. She is undisciplined and hard to control, but you just can’t be angry with her for long. Basically, she is still a rebellious child at heart, only now she has big toys and the whole ‘verse as a playground. When telling a story, she usually exaggerates and embellishes it, making it much more exciting than it could possibly have been. She could tell about buying a fruity oaty bar, making it sound like the greatest adventure in human history.<br/><br/>Her major flaw is her addiction to excitement: she is literally hooked on adrenaline. She enjoys danger and tends to ask for trouble if getting “bored”. She also is a bit overconfident of her piloting skills (if that is even possible), and this combination has made quite a few landings … well … “interesting” for the crew. Fortunately, she runs like a Swiss clock, if there is real danger involved and does magic behind the wheel.<br/><br/>She can be quite flirtatious, enjoys the company of men and seeks amorous adventures in pretty much every port The Gamble calls at. She doesn’t take this serious, though, and is quite light hearted ‘bout this kind of thing.<br/><br/>Mae likes Griff quite a bit and even respects him. She has affectionately nicknamed him “Daddy”, which she intentionally calls him at the most inopportune and inappropriate times, because she knows it embarrasses him. Otherwise she simply calls him “Cap’n” or Griff. Griff mainly leaves it to Sasha to try to discipline her, since he can’t really resist Mae’s young, sassy charm, causing him the desire for things of a more perverted and enjoyable nature with her. She is affectionately referred to as Mei Mei, meaning little sister, by almost everyone on The Gamble.<br/><br/>While liking most people she meets, Mae seriously hero-worships Akando, her former employer. She knows that he mostly just exploited her and really doesn’t deserve any worship, but rationality has never been one of her strengths.</span></span><br/><br/><div align="center">******<br/><a href="#user_top">back to top</a></div>
