Makayla is the third born child of King Julien and Queen Nora.
She is also one of the two heroes to lead the revolution.

## Early Life

Makayla was born on May 12th, 1867, twenty minutes after her fraternal twin sister Emelia. She was born as a crack of lightning hit the castle and all the candles blew out. She came out completely blue and not breathing, but after a few minutes she came to and her life was spared. As a baby, she was loud and loved to squeal and smile. She brought joy to the castle, just like her sister. Everyone loved her.

As a child, Makayla was the sweet, creative twin. She loved to play and use her imagination. She loved playing out in the garden and making up all sorts of games for her and her sisters to play. Makayla was also shy towards strangers but eventually became comfortable with them.

She began hearing voices and seeing things that weren't there around age eleven. She chose to not let this get to her and maintained her happy personality until around age fourteen....then a flip was switched. The entire vibe of the castle changed after that.

## Personality

During The Stolen Children, Makayla is a very nervous, emotional child. She feels things on a deeper level and is often apprehensive over small things.

Makayla is shown to be very hostile and impatient and sometimes quite rude. But this is her way of expressing her deep hurt and despair. When she's in a good mood, she's very goofy and playful. When she's not, she doesn't want to talk to anyone and just closes herself up in her room to avoid people. Mak turns her pain into beautiful art through painting and music as she's extremely creative and gifted naturally.

When Makayla truly loves someone, she loves them hard and without any doubt. She just doesn't know how to express it well towards everyone. She craves physical affection and reassurance at all times but her mind tells her she needs to be alone and so she closes herself up again. She only opens up to her twin sister and even that is hard.

## Appearance

In The Stolen Children, Makayla is a child. She has long, light brown hair that flows down to her waist but she typically wears it in two braids down her shoulders. She has large, round green eyes and is very pale. She stands about five feet and is quite awkward as she's going through the early stages of puberty, just lke her sister.

In Insurrection, Makayla is much taller than before and she's gotten slimmer. She wears her hair in a high ponytail for the majority of the story and wears alot of clothes that expose her skin. For most of the story, she has war paint on her face for "dramatic effect."

In Irenic, several years have flown by. Makayla appears to have shoulder length hair with small blonde highlights. She wears natural makeup and alot of whites and cream colors, signifying the peace in her life. She has a little bit more weight on her.

## Relationships

#### Emelia Rosser-Mcknight

"Mia...you're being a little over the top. Chill out before your head blows up"- Makayla to her sister in Insurrection

Mia is Makayla's best friend. She places her above everyone in every aspect and would fall apart without her. Mia is one of the one people that she trusts and she knows that she can always go to her for support and kind words without judgement. Makayla gets frustrated with Mia at times for being nosy but knows this is ultimately because Mia loves her and wants her safe.

She would probably spend every moment with her sister if she could and often gets upset when Mia is too busy to come hang out in her room. Mak confides in Mia and they have an unspoken, unbreakable bond. They know they can be honest with eachother no matter what.

#### Ezekiel Rosser

"No matter what happens. Every time...you will lose. I'll make sure of that time and time again. You will LOSE"- Mak to Ziek in the second book.

Makayla and Ezekiel don't get along well at all. He teases her for being mentally ill and loves to pick fights with her. They've fought on multiple occasions, physically and Makayla usually wins surprisingly.

If Ezekiel would just stop teasing her and picking fights, they could have a great bond...but the two have never gotten along and probably never will.

#### Aurora Rosser

"So help me god Rue if you don't start squeaking that damn violin, I'm gonna break it in half!" - Mak to Rue in Insurrection

Makayla and Aurora get along decently. They aren't as close as her and Mia but they still have a connection. Makayla greatly appreciates the light and laughter Rue brings to the castle and how she always goes out of her way to make her feel better, even in small ways. Although she sometimes gets annoyed with Rue's constant chatter and happiness.

Throughout the series, Mak and Rue can be seen standing together with their hands locked tightly in hard times and TTgoofing off together in happier times. They enjoy talking about art and playing the piano together...or Mak teaching her how to play. She knows she'll always protect her little sister no matter what, even if shes an adult and can defend herself.

#### Autumn Rosser

In the beginning of the series, Makayla and Autumn have a very imaginative, playful bond. The two of them play together in the woods and Mak even tries to teach her how to sew. She's incredibly protective of Autumn and gets extremely brave when the bandits try to take her away. She tries her hardest to keep her safe and her heart is completely shattered when the twins have to leave her to find their way home.

Once they're reunited many years later, their bond is completely changed and twisted around. Makayla sees her sister as a sick individual and at some point, even considers not calling her a sister at all. Deep in her heart, Mak still loves Autumn dearly but Autumn doesn't feel the same. She'd rather watch her suffer in agony than bow down to her.

#### Vice Edwards

Makayla is undoubtedly, madly in love with her husband and would choose to spend every moment with him if she could. He's the only person who can truly bring out the best in her and make her feel at home. After they meet, he completely changes her personality and brings back the light she once had many years ago.

Vice is the love of her life and her best friend all wrapped in one and she is his. She'd follow him to the end of the earth and back if it meant she got to be with him. Throughout their life together as a married couple, they stay faithful and loyal to one another and even have two children Farrah and Sybil.
