ABOUT
tw: parent death
Maeve was raised on the eastern coast of Ireland, in Bray, County Wicklow until she was in her early teens. She was raised by a single mother who wanted the very best for Maeve and did everything she could to provide such. Her father was American, a man she never met, but when her mother’s health went south, despite knowing the man had clearly moved on, with a wife and family of his own, her mother reached out. As far as Maeve knew, her father knew she existed, but her mother didn’t talk much of him, so she never was sure and she felt wrong asking after the fact. However, the man and his wife were more than willing to take her in, should the worst case scenario occur. Unfortunately for Maeve, it did. At the age of twelve, Maeve found herself in Los Angeles, California, a far cry from the Irish coast she was used to. Everything was new and the pain was fresh, and Maeve wasn’t the best at accepting what had happened.
Maeve was an angry and rebellious teen, something that lasted well into her young adulthood. She was spiteful and often found herself butting heads with both Colin and Nancy, a mix of her Irish stubbornness and poorly managed grief. She was the type to skip school, talk back, get mixed in with the wrong kind of crowd, people who didn’t have Maeve’s best interest at heart. And it certainly came back to bite her in the arse, more than once. Even still, she excelled in school, when she bothered to go.
When it came time to plan for her future outside high school, Maeve had no real direction. She liked computers and electronics but wasn’t sure what all she actually wanted from life. What she did know, was that she wanted to go back to Ireland, so she did, attending Trinity College Dublin, and ultimately ending up with a degree in electronic and computer engineering. After which, she came back to the states and did something most wouldn’t have expected of her. She joined the Navy as an officer.
For the next thirteen years, Maeve served in the Navy, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Commander. However, an injury in the line of duty left Maeve deaf in her left ear and unable to remain at her post, something that devastated the woman more than she had the words to say, more often than not. And, a year later, when she was officially relieved of her duty, a medical discharge to her name, she returned to Los Angeles. Her experience and time spent in the Navy made for a sparkling resume that easily landed her a position as a professor at Pacific State University.
When she’s not working, Maeve can often be found tinkering with some kind of electronic or playing video games. She considers herself a techno witch, the kind of person who weaves her magic with electronics and other non-traditional mediums. She doesn’t tend to worship any one god or goddess, even though she has quite the fascination with Greek mythology and modern retellings of such, but she believes in a higher power and that’s all she cares about. Though, if you get her walls down enough, she might admit that she’s still not sure life isn’t a simulation.
