Maxine

## Description

Maxine is a 21 year old Octoling with long tentacles that resemble the Takozone, but slightly overgrown. They were dyed a dark purple/brownish color to signify high military status, but the ends have since faded to her natural ink color since she left the army. She stands at roughly 5'7 (170cm) naturally, but wears platform boots that bring her height up by two inches. She has an eyebrow slit on her right side, and her eyebrows are a small comma-like shape. She has two large bottom eyelashes, which show naturally but are usually enhanced with eyeliner for news broadcasts and concerts. Her eyes are purple with dark violet star-shaped pupils. She has a star-shaped birthmark under the left side of her mouth.

Maxine wears a knee-length halter-top black dress with pentagram chest window. Over it, she wears a white lace-up corset. She wears purple leggings and black spiked. She wears fishnet gloves that end a little over halfway through her forearm, and she wears a black ring on her right index finger. She wears two spiked black chokers around both of her biceps. She has two piercings on her front right tentacle, and a lobe piercing with a dangly "8" hanging from it.

## Personality

Maxine is fairly easygoing. She has a loud personality that can light up and room, and put a smile on anyone's face. She is passionate about her interests, especially human history, her special interest. She tries her best to let others know she is listening, but she has a relatively short attention span, and can get distracted by simple things. She can be described as oblivious to other's anger, but when she is aware of it she tries her best to console them. She is also fond of physical touch.

## History

### Splatoon (2015 ME)

Maxine and Max Echina both grew up in Octo Valley. When Maxine was 14 years old, she was sent to work in the Octarian army. She was a top fighter for her group, which earned her an elite status- hence most of her tentacles being dyed a dark purple. She was present in the unseen audience of Splatoon 1's final hero mode battle, and was inspired upon hearing the Squid Sisters sing Calamari Inkantation. With some like-minded Octolings, she traveled to Cap'n Cuttlefish's shack and went through the kettle-portal, ending up in Inkopolis Plaza. She quickly adapted to the fun and fresh life that the Inklings lived. She met 13 y/o Yvonne Mari-Cirrotha, her girlfriend, while checking out weapons at Ammo Knights.

### Splatoon 2 (2017 ME)

After Callie v Marie (Maxine representing Team Callie), Maxine migrated to Inkopolis Square with Yvonne, who she had been living with for 2 years. She was as good as ever in combat, but she refuused to get a job at Grizzco Industries, due to the fact that Octarians have great relations with the Salmoids and it felt wrong to fight against them for pay. Around this time, Maxine also started collecting clothes sold by her favorite gear brand and soon-to-be sponsor, Annaki.

After the events of Splatoon 2, her brother Max also migrated to the surface. The two coincedentally queued into the same Turf War. Maxine did not recognize the young octoling as the sister she once knew, as Max was now almost fully socially transitioned, and Maxine had no way of knowing this. However, she did notice the octoling struggling with an army-brand Blaster, and, having struggled with the same thing 2 years prior, went to help him. Max wrapped Maxine in a hug, and Maxine quickly realized this was the sister -now brother- that she loved so dearly.

### Formation of Dome Revival

Dome Revival was formed shortly after Max moved in with Maxine and Yvonne. Originally, the group was meant to be a trio, but Yvonne preferred to do behind-the-scenes work producing and composing. They started off as an indie rock duo, posting punk octatronica covers of their favorite tunes. They quickly gained a small but devoted fanbase of Inklings, even playing at open mic nights in places such as Starfish Mainstage and Mahi-Mahi resort.

### Octopolis

Max and Maxine grew up in the dome that is now Octopolis, said dome being the first level of both Octo Valley and Octo Canyon modes, and the only dome to connect to both locations on the surface. After DJ Octavio's second defeat, the work of Agent 4, the dome started to be rebuilt, courtesy of the Joubini and Nautico families, who were both important families in both local manner and trading with the Salmonids.

Maxine was a friend of Alice, the remaining daughter of the Nautico family. The two were in the same army division, however, even after hearing the Squid Sisters perform the Calamari Inkantation, she stayed with the Octarians, due to both her responsibilities at home and her immense patriotism.

Alice found Dome Revival online, and was able to send a direct message to Maxine. Her family-friends, the Joubini family, who owned a record label, were looking for an idol duo to run the dome's news broadcast and host splatfests underground. Alice had shown the son of the family Dome Revival's covers, and he adored their sound, making Dome Revival his first pick for Octopolis's newscasters. Almost immediately after recieving this, both the Echinas and Yvonne packed up their things and moved back underground. They were able to buy their childhood house, vacant but untouched, and made it their home.

Auditions were quick and easy. They became the city's newscasters, released their first album, ASTERIAS.

### Splatoon 3 (2022 ME)

As of 2022 of the Mollusk Era, Dome Revival is still hosting the news and splatfests for the Octopolis news.
