## Bio

Due to his parents being the king and queen of Auradon, Max feels forced to act like a perfect prince in order to become the future king. He hates being around preppy and arrogant royals like Aria (Audrey's daughter). Despite that, Max has a strong sense of leadership and he feels very comfortable with his newfound magic. However, after unleashing a death curse throughout the entire kingdom of Auradon, Max feels responsible for it and at first decides to find the cure alone, but then he is joined by Evan (Evie's son), Urson (Uma's son), Cassie (Carlos' daughter) and Jina (Jay's daughter). Good and evil live in the war inside Max's heart and his powers seem to be growing absurdly.

### Personality

Max is a dashing, smart, sneaky, and confident boy who is a natural-born leader and skilled at art, especially spray paint art, like his mom. He is also caring, brave, and not afraid of change, like his father. His inheritance of his father's cute, loving, fair personality and charming looks are among the many reasons people, especially girls, love him. Due to his parents being the king and queen of Auradon and the Isle, Max feels too much pressure to be the perfect prince in order to become the future king. Much like his mother, Max also tends to be overly-sarcastic and has a strange love of mud  Despite being tough, he cares about his friends and is constantly struggling with the pressure to be the perfect prince and future king of Auradon, as the News people call him "Sir Max."
