Maple Langley

Bee babie... very much missed </3

Early Life
Maple grew up on a farm in Scotland, living with her rambunctious family, she was quite the go-getter, and loved every second of it. Often Maple got to play with her siblings, good natured pranks ensued. Maple adores her family, and while at Camp, actively missed them the whole time. It's not a wonder why, because her family meant the entire world to her. She'd protect them with her life.

Claiming
Wandering into the woods she meets Jac again for the second or third time. She was simply looking out for anything interesting when she all but ran into him. Jac insults her, and Maple deflects it, unhappy she was insulted for practically no reason, she decides to give Jac one. Huffing, she explains why she's out in the woods, only to be insulted again.

Excerpt from the roleplay:
“I don’t need to fight. There’s nobody here to protect but me. Well you’re here now, I’d gladly stay to protect the people I care about but none of them are here right now,” she shook her head. She’d protect her family to the death, but they weren’t here, so what did it matter if she ran away in a fight?

"Is this not your family? Are you not a demigod? You have no home anymore, don't you understand that?! You're never going to leave! You're never going to see them again!" Jac yelled.

It was almost like he was speaking about himself.

"And if you do? It'll be in the Underworld."

Claiming, cont.
Understandably, this upsets Maple to no end. A beehive falls from above them, and Maple commands the swarm, finally claimed by her father, Aristaeus. Jac, finally impressed, relaxes. But Maple is still reasonably upset, only calmed by the queen bee of the hive, Miss Fuzzle as Maple affectionately calls her. They then part ways.

Maple's Demise
Relaxing in the creek with Miss Fuzzle, a stranger appears. Summer was almost over, and she'd be able to go home soon so she wanted to make the most of things. She's friendly and tries to chat with them, and then they strike. Corrin, who had been taken over by Thayer during the say, all while the body swap had happened, murders Maple.

She dies that day.

Personality
Maple is a very gentle and patient person, she usually prefers to keep to herself and her own plants and garden. She likes animals a great deal more than people, unless it’s her family. Who she would do anything for to keep them happy and more importantly, safe. She’s quite stubborn if she’s trying something on her own terms, refusing to give up but as soon as someone else is nudging her to do something and she messes it up she’ll panic. But overall she’s a very sweet girl, looking out for anyone like she would her siblings if she can. She’s very protective and oftentimes semi clingy. One might call her a koala bear with her tendency to latch onto people. She’s a very touch oriented person, as she comes from an extremely close and rather large family.

She likes to be with her family, especially game nights with the family. She likes to forage, and hunt with her dad. She doesn’t mind fishing either. But her absolute favourite thing to do is garden with her mother. She loves all types of flowers, and adores succulents and cacti. She also loves to tend to the cows and sheep on her parent’s farm. To her delight she’d even gotten to ride one of the cows once (okay maybe a *bit* more than just once), much to her younger siblings jealousy. She enjoys hiking and folk songs as well. She plays a few assorted instruments but mainly enjoys to sing. She likes to cozy up by the fireplace when it’s cold, and loves to cuddle with those she cares about.

She despises wasps, and most stinging insects like mosquitoes. She also hates being cold. It’s debilitating for her. She doesn’t like super spicy foods at all. She especially hates when plants are wilting. It upsets her a great deal to have a plant die despite her best care. She doesn’t like strangers, nor large crowds either.

Appearance
Maple has really shiny, wavy hair. It’s a soft warm brown colour, ironically quite similar in colour to maple syrup. It’s usually partially braided and nearly always has little flowers woven into it, her favourite being little clovers. Her younger siblings love to stick things in her hair when they play games together like dress up, and so she always keeps her hair long so that they always have room to add more trinkets and flowers to her hair. She also has really warm brown eyes, in the light they reflect a warm honey colour. She always has a slight crinkle on the edges of her eyes as she’s always smiling. Overall her skin tone is about an average medium skin tone, but she’s usually quite tanned since she works out in the field so much. She wears practical clothing all the time. Jeans, short sleeved shirts and the occasional flannel. She loves to steal her father’s old shirts to cut up and make into bandannas that she wears all the time. He finds it adorable. She usually wears cowboy boots, and the pair she has have little flowers and bees embroidered on the leather. She rarely wears different shoes. If she’s not wearing clothes meant for work you’ll see her in extra large hoodies, and scarves as she gets cold pretty easily.

She actually loves to dress up if given a good opportunity, especially in yellow. Anything floral and yellow she’ll wear in a heartbeat even if it’s against what she usually will wear. She’s extremely muscular for her small stature and is quite stocky. She’s also got a very round and innocent face. She also has quite a few various scars littered on her body from accidents on the farm. Mainly her trying to do something she wasn’t big enough for. But they’re nothing major.
