Max Roth

> *“I don’t really understand why people are frightened of me; I mean I know I’m a little different from everyone else, but I’m not a witch or a monster, I’m not the boogeyman that plagues nightmares, I’m just me. And I think I’m going to continue being myself, because if I had to change who I am just so people would like me I think I’d rather be alone and true to myself.”*

Max is a supporting character in ***Tales From Camp Lakewood*** and a main character in ***The Trinity***.

## **Biography**

At 11 years old, Max is the oldest and only child of Winona and Edward Roth.

In the first chapter of “Tales From Camp Lakewood”; her introduction was a bit unconventional compared to the other characters, she had this seemingly mysterious and chilling way of going about things and Beulah Baxter was the first to notice this when she had this unnerving feeling that she was being pursued by Max. However; things took a twist when at the near end of the chapter, it was revealed that the reason why she had following Beulah all over camp was because she was trying to return a stuffed teddy bear and a notebook containing an unfinished mystery story to which Max found intriguing.

After that initial interaction and becoming fascinated with Beulah’s writing style, Max made a silent declaration to befriend the cowgirl before her time at summer camp was over.

### Early Life

Prior to the events of “Tales From Camp Lakewood”; Max led a relatively normal life, she grew up in the town of Fern Valley, Michigan. At her school she gained a small reputation for being one of the more academically gifted students. However; earning good grades didn’t exactly win her popularity points amongst her classmates, in fact it served as more ammunition for those same classmates to harass her on a daily basis.

Not only was she considered to be one of the smartest kids in her school; she was also considered to be the weirdest kid at her school, mainly because of how she dressed, her above average height and for her more than peculiar interests for someone her age. Her deep interest in dark things such as; the occult, dark magic, ghosts and other supernatural related subject matters had alienated her chances of finding friendships.

## **Personality**

Contrary to her wardrobe and spooky interests and seemingly mysterious and chilling nature; Max is very much the opposite of stereotypical goth trope, she is actually quite kind and gentle towards others even when they shun and or mock her, she tends to choose to look and focus on the positives at life rather than the negatives, she speaks with a soft tone that often gets mistaken for mumbling or whispering.

## **Appearance**

Born with natural black hair, added red highlights when she turned 10. Also has noticeably paler skin than her parents and has very wide and expressive eyes.

Her everyday outfit consists of a black warlock style hat with a light-ish purple band, a purple cloak that goes all the way down to her ankles, a gold pentagram necklace, a purple shirt with white sleeves a pair of black pants with purple cuffs at the bottom, a pair of pale tan socks and a pair of black shoes.
