## Physical Appearance

Mae is a cat with dark blue fur and dyed red hair on the top of her hair, which has since faded into a dark red. She has large red eyes. Her right ear is also notched from a dog attack, and Mae can be seen flicking this ear frequently throughout the game while idle.

Her attire consists of an orange shirt with long red sleeves, with a slashed zero design in the center. Mae also has dark grey jeans and wears boots that are described as "cheap green-ish knock-off Doc Martens".

Mae is noticeably shorter than others in Possum Springs and considers herself to be overweight. Her grandfather called her "sturdy," an assessment that Mae ultimately agrees with, and worries that her style of clothing accentuates her "roundness".

## In Sagwa's Siamese Life

Mae appears as a supporting character in Sagwa's Siamese Life. Sagwa met her after they both ran into each other during the night. They engage in a conversation for a while before the both of them head over to Sagwa's house.

It wasn't until Sagwa introduced Giovanni to Mae, when she realized that the three of them have one thing in common. They have lost a loved one. Sagwa lost Yeh-Yeh to old age, Giovanni lost Campanella to drowning, and Mae lost an old friend named Casey Hartley, who disappeared without explanation.

Unfortunately for Mae, Yeh-Yeh and Campanella were brought back to life, but Casey wasn't.

### Battle Against the Cult

One night, Sagwa and Mae were taking a night stroll until they hear what sounds like a fatal stab from a distance. Before they knew it, a severed arm lands in front of them, frightening the life out of them and sending them running for the hills. They hide in Sagwa's house for safety.

Mae explains that there has been an evil cult that worships the god-like creature called the Black Goat by sacrificing people to it. However, Sagwa wasn't scared of any evil cults and is more than willing to put an end to it. But Mae warns her not to stop them otherwise they will find her and do something to her. Sagwa decides to take Mae's advice.

The next night however, Sagwa decides to hunt for the cult anyways. She comes across a drawing of the Black Goat and, still not afraid of cults, rips it to shreds and continues the hunt.

Suddenly, without any warning, a Grand Star bursts out of the shredded pieces of the drawing and descends in front of Sagwa, surprising her. Before she knew it, the star spins faster and faster until it bursts into light. Casey Hartley appears in its place, brought back to life with the power of the Grand Star.

Casey, realizing he's alive, becomes very ecstatic. Sagwa, now realizing what Casey looks like, hugs him tightly. Casey confirms that he was murdered by the cult, and Sagwa reassures him that everything is OK, but then they are spotted by the cult, prompting them to run for their lives. They make it back to Sagwa's house, where Mae is tearfully reunited with her old friend.

Sagwa, Giovanni, Mae, and Casey decide once and for all that the cult needs to be stopped. They find their hiding spot, which is an old mine, and confront them. They manage to defeat the cult and prepare to escape. They use an elevator shaft to get back to the surface, but before they could leave, the cult leader Edie suddenly appears and tries to drag Mae back to the mine. Casey grabs Mae's paw and tries to pull her free. Sagwa and Giovanni notice a lever that controls the lift and activate it, causing the lift to plummet down the mine. Edie's arm was chopped off in the process, presumably killing him.

Later, the group throw a pizza party to celebrate their success. Even better, the cult has never resurfaced again, bringing peace to the city.
