Maeve Kriemhild

## Sigil

A usually solo magical girl who can command magical soldiers, withdrawn and with a strained relationship with some other Mahous

## Appearance

Somewhat small for her age of almost 16, at 131cm, and not helped by her preference for large sweaters. Hair is a deep gold and usually cut fairly short, and tied in a tight bun at the back.

Her magical girl costume consists of a long, bright red overcoat with wide sleeves, blue undershirt, and a long (to just above the ankle), dull gold, skirt. Completing the outfit is a tall black cap with a small brim. The costume has a fair few decorations, from medallions to ribbons.

She does technically have a weapon, but rarely uses it as such. A large pole and flag, decorated with a red background and gold symbol (same as her mark). It has a heavy golden ball on the end that can deliver crushing thrust and swipe attacks, if Maeve has to fight up close she usually givers the pole a quick twirl to roll the flag around the pole. Her mark is gold and shaped like a circle with a rectangle extending longways up, like the outline of a medal and ribbon.

## Powers

**Tin Soldiers:** Maeve’s power allows her to enlarge, and animate (but not create), miniature models in order to fight monsters. The models have a limited repertoire of ‘programming’ that they can execute when activated, and she finds it easier to control human shaped models. Her first, and most commonly used, model is of an old fashioned soldier holding a rifle, which can preform an extremely basic, but still effective, bayonet charge.

Because her power does not create the miniatures, Maeve has to make them herself. When she was just starting out she scavenged from hobby and toy stores (miniature war gaming isn’t very big under the barrier), as she hit her stride she actually starting carving her own moulds and casting her own mini’s (she feels the personal touch makes them behave better), nowadays there is actually merch of her mini’s, but she still prefers to use her own. Damage that monsters deal to the models stay after the fight and eventually a model can become to damaged to use.

Strangely, her power will not work on any kind of model of a magical girl.

## Background

Maeve’s dream came when she was 12 years old. After trying out for a new club, she got lost on her way home and wound up wandering until it was almost 10 PM. By the time she finally found out where she was, it was a mad, terrified dash back home to get in right under the wire.

Even after the dream, and subsequent school transfer, it took her a while to figure out how her powers worked, besides just the new outfit. Eventually, she figured it out after walking by a toy store and accidentally animating one of the toys in the window. Still, it took her a fair amount of time to properly control it and she earned somewhat of a bad reputation with some other girls and civilians after some... incidents with poorly controlling her ‘soldiers’. Incidents of property damage, and charging into the middle of other groups fights.

She’s mostly repaired her reputation with the city, but its been harder getting close to other girls again, another reason she mostly goes solo.
