The legacy of the Delgado family is a humble story spanning just three generations. Maxine’s grandfather relocated from Spain to the village seeking fame and fortune. With the little money he had, he bought a homestead and dug out a small mine which he would go down into every chance he got. He found that the area around the village was rich with minerals and gemstones. Soon enough, he found great fortune in selling his products and was soon able to raise a factory and refinery from his fortune, which he used to grow richer and richer. The factory traded hands and was passed down to Maxine’s father, who expanded it and began a strong mining industry in the village, especially where jewels were concerned. However, most of the money was made on exports.
Maxine took to the family business in a new way. She was fascinated by the engineering aspect of the factory and refinery. She sought to understand how the mechanisms worked and improved them, much to her father’s disapproval. He wanted her to work on polishing and perfecting the gems to be sold. Maxine was a rebellious and stubborn young one however and pursued a passion in technology and industry. Her mother and father threatened to disown her but never went through with the threats as she was their only heir to their assets. Upon their passing, she took over the factory and began improving the conditions. People were laid off in place of machines who could do their job cheaper and far faster than they ever could. At the young age of just 30, Maxine’s ability to perform effectively and thoroughly caught the attention of Mother Miranda. Miranda offered to take her under her wing as a daughter and support her passions in exchange for Maxine’s help in performing a “project.” Maxine eagerly accepted, happy to have a parental figure’s support and recognition and curious as to Miranda’s plan.
She was gone for several weeks after exposure to the parasite by Miranda, and during that time part of her mine collapsed. Suspecting she was dead, the few workers that were left abandoned the mistress’ mine and refinery. Soon after, Maxine reappeared and continued work on her projects while also undertaking Miranda’s. She lost her new mother’s interest quite quickly, much to the dismay of Maxine. However, her disappointment did not last as she fell back into an obsession with mechanics and development. Despite having no workers and little market left decades later, Maxine’s refinery still spits smoke and the mine still churns now and then with activity. However, locals dare not venture into her territory. They say mistress’ latest experiment lurks in the shadows of her realm. And it doesn’t like visitors.
The rumors that surround Maxine’s land would have many convinced that the mistress is cruel, isolated, and enigmatic beyond belief. Nothing could be further from the truth however. Maxine is lively, playful, loud, ecstatic figure on the horizon. She can be heard whooping and laughing from the rooftop of her refinery. She dances on its shingles and sings merrily for days and nights on end. Her vibrant and boisterous personality is untempered. She is brilliant but impulsive, coming up with ideas on the fly and recklessly testing them with no regard for her safety or anyone else’s. She is the wild child of the nobility, unpredictable in a way many would deem childish and unbecoming of a noblewoman.
Maxine cares very little for the opinions of others however. She’s a confident, proud breed. She speaks crassly, sarcastically, and makes it clear she has little time for nay-sayers. Her creative vision is immense and her abilities are even more so. While she feels most at home working on inventions and being surrounded by machine, Maxine also has an unquenchable thirst for the outdoors brought about by her mutations. She is one of the most successful lycans to come out of the experiments, with an almost fully wolfish form barring the extra gears and crystals that stick out of her less human-like form. In her mutant form, she will scale the mountain to howl at the moon, go running through the forest, and hunt both wild and domestic game.
Maxine’s carefree nature is matched only in its intensity by her sense of concentration while working. When she is “in the zone”, nothing else can reach her. She is totally absorbed and preoccupied by her tasks for experiments. Her dedication to her craft is unmatched. Despite her rambunctious and borderline mischievous nature, many will begrudgingly admit that Maxine is gifted in her ways with mechanics and jewelry. Additionally, her ability to predict disaster and her sense of navigation and hunting is unmatched. And she is very proud of this fact. Avoid feeding her ego with compliments if you can.

MAIN - Resident Evil Village
Maxine resides in the old refinery or in the mines near the refinery. At night she can sometimes be heard howling at the moon.
Maxine’s mutant abilities give her control over electricity. She can shock people, draw power from electrical sources, and generate her own electricity. She can also send gears flying at a target at high velocity, or use sharp crystal shards as projectiles.
Maxine can also grow hard crystals or rock out of her skin or the ground to use as armor or shield from incoming projectiles.
Maxine has a lycan form in which she has gears and crystals and gears embedded in her which she can launch. In addition, she can move incredibly quickly and deal massive damage with her huge teeth and claws. Her weak spot is on her chest where her heart can be seen glowing between her metal and crystal ribs.
Maxine is generally very easy-going and playful. Provoking her is very difficult.
Maxine does not consider herself related to the other lords or a part of Miranda's family. She considers herself her own entity entirely.
