===Appearance===
maxwell is a black tuxedo cat spinning around. She has amber yellow eyes with the addition of highlights inside of her iris, and she has long whiskers that match her white fur patches. Her jumpscare or kill feed icon is a close-up version of this image set against a black background, with visible green edges likely indicating chroma key usage. If you examine it close enough, you can often see compression artifacts that affect lighter colors.
In the game, maxwell's GIF lacks a certain detail below her chin due to limited colors upon compression. While the animation is a bit sped up in general, a few of the frames have a misplacement, interpreting as she gradually hops up and down. Looking from the bottom center is the tip of an ear, and the edges around her were aliased; the model also has low polygons, which can be done through 3D scanning.

===Audio===
maxwell has cheerful background music, accompanied by a bouncy bass. In the first loop, there was a little delay, possibly due to the computer being laggy. Her jumpscare audio resembles a bass-boosted cat hiss.

===Image===
maxwell's image comes from a website called "Imgur" and was posted on November 20th, 2017, posted by "Voidhawk42" showing the real-life cat sitting down on a paper saying "please do not bend" before this post started to show up on Facebook and Twitter in 2020. Later, the video was posted on Twitter by @blastycats on November 4th, 2022, which shows the origin of a spinning maxwell. Therefore, it spreads the internet virally due to the music playing while maxwell spins counter-clockwise.

===Audio===
The audio was supposed to be maxwellSpin, but was moderated and deleted. However, the true origin of the proximity audio is from a Weebl's song named "Stockmarket." Know Your Meme article It also comes from the song called "The Funky Russian Train by Sinister Sane". The in-game version has a slight stutter in the first loop, likely due to the audio playback, and it was pitched up to 7 semitones in Audacity.
maxwell's Jumpscare audio comes from an audio called Audio-catjumpscare.

==Trivia==
*maxwell is also known as Uni because of a Japanese Twitter account, which can be viewed here. Uni is commonly mistaken for maxwell.
*maxwell is thought to be a 3D nextbot. However, this nextbot is just a 2D GIF with a 3D illusion.
*Its audio would soon get deleted after being added to nico's testing. It's also claimed to be in the main game and will be added in one of the upcoming maps.
*The owner for maxwell (or Jess) has confirmed she has died, meaning the nextbot has a risk of getting removed. But the owner of Jess has stated that they're happy that her spirit lives along with the Internet and memes. Holidae also confirmed the same thing, but we must be sure.
**As of 21 July 2022, Jess died due to cancer. 
* When maxwell was added early, she only emits silence, likely due to the initial copyrighted audio.
** As of now, in the Taunts Update, maxwell now has audio attached.
