Maeve

Cactus Nomads Maeve - Witch

---

She lurks somewhere near the clan and spooks everyone. Maeve is a powerful enchantress and a warrior who happened across the nomads on her search for some questionable magical object - she doesn't really talk about it much. She joined the group for some shadowy reason, but even now mostly stays away from the others and wanders around on her own. Maeve seems like a loner, and often gets too snarky and dismissive towards others, although even she could not resist the charm and friendliness of the clan for long. She actually likes to party with others and has a great - even if a bit grim - sense of humour. While Maeve tries to distance herself from the nomads, she still helps them with anything magical. She loves to hang out around Gregory and watch his tricks, and she begrudgingly respects Zoe's skills. She also often stops to chat about one or other cryptic thing with Argus - to the great despair of his brother. It seems that these two are brewing something behind everyone's backs, as they often disappear into the night to perform shady magical rituals away from the clan. Familiar: Maeve's familiar is a dryad named Cassandra - sarcastic and sharp-tongued nature mage who, similarly to Maeve herself, stays apart from the clan. Cassandra likes dangerous flora, especially plants that look threatening, and keeps to the shadows during the day. She avoids interacting with any creature, be it a dragon, a beast, a bird or a spirit, with the only exceptions being Maeve and a centaur who goes by the name of Smith, familiar of Nora. Cassandra also can act as a herbology specialist and a gardener, although she rarely does so, preferring to observe plants rather than grow them. Maeve usually follows the nomads from afar - she is accustomed to travelling light, only carrying some of her books and witchcraft necessities, and is strong enough to not need a vehicle to keep up with the big and slow caravan even for days straight. Rarely, she does stay with other dragons - usually Argus, and sometimes Gregory, - but still keeps to herself, evading questions and giving cold shoulder to everyone who tries to approach her. Sometimes, she leaves the clan to search for one or the other ingredient, but she returns after - for now. Maeve's motives are murky and her thoughts are often hidden, but she does seem to have some sort of attachment to the clan. On numerous occasions she assisted other nomads, never explaining her reasons for doing that and just silently leaving later. Many of the others don't know what to think of her, and Maeve doesn't mind it. The only one she specifically tries to be nicer to is Gregory: the two sometimes spend time together just to have fun - which for Maeve is a strange concept. Aiming for: Falcon/Spinner/Basic (or maybe Runes/Underbelly, her tetriary is too bright)

Gregory - Maeve's magical colleague and, possibly, friend. She denies it. Argus - A partner-in-crime of sorts. They certainly summoned enough demons together.
