POWER Portal creation through sacrifice. Maeve is capable of creating portals through sacrificing pieces of herself. This applies to anything on her body, whether it be a fingernail, lock of hair or her blood or even a limb. The way this plays out is that the smaller amount she sacrifices the smaller the portal will be. Typically the more valuable something is to her that she sacrifices the bigger the portal will be. Her sacrifice doesn't always have be something attached to her body, it can be something that the woman values materialistically. With that being said though, if Maeve was particularly attached to a one hundred dollar bill and she sacrificed it to create a portal that portal would come out a lot weaker in every possible way and if any inanimate object were to travel through it - it would most likely come out looking very messed up.
Maeve cannot create portals to go through time and it is unknown to her how her portals work. All she knows is that typically when she is consciously thinking about it and for example trims her nails - the nails disappear and a mini portal is created near her. For another side of the portal to be created though, Maeve typically has to sacrifice yet another piece of herself. Example being when she creates one side of mini portal, she drops another fingernail through the portal actively thinking about where she wants the other portal to end up and thus the other portal is created ultimately making it by complete by creating a point A and a point B.
To be able to create human sized portals, the first thing Maeve usually uses is her blood. Having done it so many times, Maeve is used to the feeling of going through her portals, but if a random person were to do the same it would most likely be a very dizzying (most likely causing nausea) effect. How much she sacrifices typically decides how long a portal stays up, this means that if Maeve were to cut off four or five inches of her hair then the said portal would last for about half an hour at most. In using a human sized portal, Maeve typically steps into the portal and walks out of the other one. She does not have to walk through a tunnel or anything "wormhole" -esque (while the opposing ends of the portals can be considered a tunnel in a sense, it would be the equivalent of walking through a door. You're in one room and then suddenly out of that room and in the other)
Maeve also cannot simply create a portal out of thin air, typically the woman needs to use a flat surface. If her mind is not clearly focusing on where she wants the other end of the portal to end up, her point B can end up anywhere quite randomly. When it comes to other people using her portals (walking through them) Maeve typically requires some sort of sacrifice from them (this can range from hair, fingernail, etc.), otherwise the portals will only recognize the creator. This is dangerous in itself because Maeve cannot simply turn off her portals, when she creates them they will be wherever they end up for whatever allotted time frame. If someone were to come by and see point A or point B of a portal and attempt to walk through it, the person would most likely loose a limb or worse in the process. The actual manner in which Maeve goes about creating these portals is not completely unusual. If she were to create a human sized portal, she would cut herself and let whatever amount of blood (usually it doesn't take too much for a portal she only wants to last for just a few minutes) fall to whatever flat surface she chooses and in the place of that blood while she is actively thinking that "I want to create a portal" said portal would appear from the blood she used. When Maeve first creates a portal it is typically black and oval shaped or circle shaped and when she attaches another side to this portal Maeve is the only one capable of seeing other side (unless someone participated in the creation of the portal then they could see the other side as well).
To simplify everything, the more valuable something is to her the larger a portal is for her. The more she sacrifices of something that longer the portal will stay open. Maeve cannot turn her portals on or off and other people cannot use her portals unless they give her something for it's initial creation. Maeve needs flat surfaces to create portals and she cannot travel through time or into other dimensions in these portals.
APPEARANCE The first most noticeable thing about Maeve is her ridiculously unkempt hair. The length of it varies and while Maeve does brush it everyday, thanks to the fact that Maeve uses her hair so much for creating portals little pieces usually stick out. Her longest piece of hair is probably a few centimeters above her shoulders, her shortest pieces of hair being a few shaved places around her skull. Other than that, the color of Maeve's hair is burnt orange (another way to describe it being ginger with copper undertones). To match with her unruly and unkempt hair, Maeve has quite a wild spread of freckles across the bridge of her nose with only a few spreading onto her cheeks. Her eyes are a vivid bright green which often makes it so that she is prone to giving people very innocent looks. Maeve doesn't necessarily have a fragile body type, standing tall at 5"10 the woman actually appears quite sturdy. She is not overweight or desperately skinny, instead the woman pays just enough attention to what she eats to not feel the desire to push herself to go work out 24/7. Despite her wild hair, in a professional setting Maeve keeps her clothing almost immaculate and does her best to fix her hair.
She dresses extremely well when working, but when it comes to getting out of work that is another thing entirely. Some clothing she wears while out and about doing her own thing ranges from strange to downright abnormal, some clothes she buys and alters and others she flat out makes. The colors, design and so on ranges depending on her creativity level while making said clothing. Maeve is not an ugly woman, but she is not conventionally attractive either. This because she takes care of herself in a very unusual manner and therefore is only likely to catch attention due to her strange clothes among several other things. It is easier to see her attractive qualities when she is dressed in a professional manner as opposed to the clothing she creates and wears on her own. Maeve also has very fair complexion and it is very easy for her to burn if she is out in the sun for too long.
PERSONALITY The best way to describe Maeve would be eccentric. Everything the woman does is out of the ordinary, from the way she dresses all the way down to what nail polish she picks for herself. She is extremely creative along with being a very imaginative person. Upon first interaction to some people the woman might seem mean, she has a habit of giggling at the tiniest things and for those that are more easily offended someone might take it that she is laughing at them. This is not the case at all though, most of the time Maeve has quite a habit of getting stuck in her head (not hearing other people talking during this) and will typically do what most of us have done before - thinking of something funny that happened yesterday and laugh about it. Maeve does this though much more often than the average person.
Maeve has an Irish accent, though it is not so thick that people from other countries would be unable to understand her. The accent though is quite there and the woman knows just enough Gaelic to be able to speak it fluently. During her childhood and all the way up until she became an adult, Maeve was a highly misunderstood girl. It was only until she got her first job that the woman realized how much she needed to be able to keep up in a professional setting if she wanted to be able to make a living for herself. From that the woman developed the understanding of working and playing and thus started to become quite a worker bee in her jobs, the motivation being a mixture of wanting money and enjoying focusing all her untamed energy into projects.
Maeve has a hobby of making her own clothes among other things in her life, when it comes to going to work though the woman forces herself to buy clothes from nice stores and she has to practically lock the clothing up in a storage trunk until the day of going to work so that she doesn't feel the urge to mess with or alter the clothing. This applies to the types of shoes that she wears as well. Maeve is also a bundle of infinite energy when she goes to work, that energy only seeming to deplete the second that she lays down in her bed in the evenings. On a natural day to day basis, Maeve is typically a bright and cheery sort of woman - she is not lacking in not being able to show serious expressions though. When it comes to being serious, the only time Maeve is really capable of doing so is while she is working. She has a tendency to bottle negative emotions or just simply not feel them at all, it would take a lot to rile Maeve up. It's not that she's not sensitive, it's just that the woman has a very foggy understanding of what is mean and what is not.
WEAKNESSES Maeve does not necessarily view it this way, but having too sacrifice fingernails, locks of hair and so on to create portals can be considered a weakness in itself. If she were to be caught in combat (which is unlikely), making a portal is not a quick sort of thing - the power takes time and she would probably be injured or worse by the time a portal had actually been created. Maeve has no sense of style and next to zero combat skills, in truth the woman has no desire to really learn any combat skills.
STRENGTHS Maeve is creative to the point of being a visionary, most ideas and suggestions she has are completely "out of the box" when in relation to a normal persons thoughts or ideas. Maeve is a free spirit along with being able to generally be a hard-worker (despite the conflict there), she is very good at finding efficient ways to get things done. Maeve basically knows how to work hard and play hard.
BACKGROUND Maeve was born in small town in Ireland with two loving parents. The woman did not have many issues growing up, except for other children teasing Maeve because of the girl's odd and unique personality. It was around the age of twelve that Maeve discovered her power of creating portals (basically by accident), but it was only when she turned seventeen that the girl really started to experiment with her powers and started to see what she could really do. Maeve had also managed to keep her power a secret from her parents until she turned seventeen as well and it was during that time that the young girl decided that she wanted to travel. Her parents disagree with this of course, but Maeve got the idea in her head that it would be better if she traveled so that she could use her power even more.
She had had no issue showing her power to her mother, but her father on the other hand took it in a very strange way and it took the man a long time to fully accept what his daughter's powers were. From there Maeve finally got the blessing to go travel and through strictly the use of her portals the young girl and barely a woman started her adventure. Going through a series of life threatening (and not so life threatening) situations such as almost getting arrested, almost drowning in the middle of the Atlantic ocean and falling into a dragon cave - Maeve experience quite a lot until she ended up in America around the time she was nineteen. It was then that the girl decided to settle down with her adventures and pursue a college degree. It was difficult for her getting into college with next to zero papers on her, but she managed it and lived in New Mexico while attending school.
Fresh out of college around the age of twenty four, Maeve returned to her family in Ireland (also getting back her accent as she was living around people from her childhood once more). After a year, Maeve was soon having issues finding a job in her area and just so happened to stumble upon the knowledge of Foresta by chance. Coming to the island the woman decided to try out for a secretarial position.
