Mau's parents grew in status, gaining them more wealth and trade. Tigress and Mau attended parties and social gatherings regularly in order to spread their families influence. At these parties Mau acted as her older sisters eyes and ears, a shadow that was everywhere. She didn't mind this task, as it helped her sister rise higher, and that was good for her as well.

When she was 9, Mau got into the trading business and opened a tea company. She met Quaintrelle sometime during this time and grew to admire her for a while till, the tea company went out of business, assumablely due to Quaintrelle. The failure remains a sore spot in Mau's pride.

Just before the present timeline, Mau acquired several offices and production places throughout the continent, becoming a fashion designer. Mau designed outfits for almost every tribe, quicking moving up in the fashion industry.

### The Takeover/Darkstalker's Reign

The two were happy together, and Blackout helped Mau manage her workaholic tendencies.

### Darkstalker's Fall

The news of Darkstalkers Fall was bittersweet for Mau. Quaintrelle was forced to flee, which overjoyed the hivewing who began taking advantage of the chaos and spread her fashon business in place of the Darkstalkers executioner. However Blackout, Mau's girlfriend, also vanished without a trace, leaving Mau heartbroken and bitter over love.

### The Aftermath

Since the power vaccum has left large oppurtunities, Mau has been in action, looking for every way possible to expand her fashion business and stabilize her position. She has gone back and forth between the nightwing kingdom and the lands of Pantala due helping Tigress become queen and for business opportunity.

## Relationships

### Quaintrelle

Mau has a strained relationship with Quaintrelle, viewing Trelle as annoying and a thorn in her scales. She holds a grudge against the nightwing(probably something about the tea business) and likes to keep her distance from the Quaintrelle. Mau does have some respect for Trelle, as she is extremely successful almost whatever she does and holds power as Darkstalker's executioner. When Quaintrelle was forced out of power, Mau was thrilled at the new business opportunities.

### Tigress

Tigress is the older biological sister of Mau, who is set to take over the vast family inheritance. Mau was often treated as Tigress's shadow, being her eyes and ears for gossip and possible plots against the family. They have a mutual respect for each other, but no deep bonds.

### Blackout

Blackout was a NightWing and the ex-girlfriend of Mau. Mau found Blackout comforting, as she kept Mau in check during long periods of work. Was fond of her company and business ideas. They vanished during Darkstalkers fall, breaking Mau's heart and leaving the hivewing heiress bitter.

### Velvet

Mau shares her sisters dislike of Velvet, however the grudge is less personal and more so just supporting the older sister she admires.
