Another facet of Maryse's character is her short temper. She doesn't shy away from expressing her emotions, and when provoked, her anger can flare intensely. This aspect of her personality reveals her raw and unfiltered nature. Her overprotectiveness of Cain is another significant feature of her character. While her intentions are rooted in deep affection and loyalty, her constant vigilance and fearlessness in guarding him sometimes raise questions.

This dynamic often leads to playful teasing, as Sabrina or Remika might affectionately label Maryse as a "yandere" for Cain, a term tinged with humor and camaraderie. Maryse's claims of always saving Cain from trouble are countered by the truth. It becomes evident that it is often Cain who comes to her aid, revealing the mutual nature of their protection for one another.

From an early age, Maryse held a fervent belief that embracing her tomboyish nature was the true path to proving her strength. It was her way of challenging the societal norms and expectations that sought to confine her. Engaging in physical confrontations with boys became her canvas, each fight a stroke of defiance, a testament to her determination to stand her ground. Yet, it was one fateful day, amidst an altercation that pushed her limits, that her life took a dramatic turn. In that precarious moment, when danger loomed, it was Cain Lethbourne who emerged as her savior, seemingly materializing out of thin air. His selfless act of rescue was a revelation, an act that etched a profound connection between them. Maryse was moved beyond words. Gratitude and admiration surged within her, forming a powerful undercurrent in their growing friendship. It was this moment that solidified her resolve, leading to a solemn vow - an oath to protect Cain, an oath that she held sacred as her life's purpose.
As time unfolded, Maryse's path intersected with Sabrina Lysandra Zephyr, a name whispered with awe in the realms of magic and heroism. Sabrina's renown was not just for her formidable abilities, but for her role in saving lives, including that of Chloe, Cain's cherished younger sister, from the clutches of a devastating genocide.
However, when fate orchestrated their encounter, it did so with an unexpected twist. Fueled by a heady mix of overconfidence and a burning desire to prove herself, Maryse challenged Sabrina to a duel.

Fuelled by unwavering loyalty to Cain and an insatiable desire to protect him, Maryse viewed a rematch as the only path forward.
