Pre-Invasion[]

Whenever Maggie went on a first date her mother would wait up for her, not out of worrying but because she wanted to hear all about them. Maggie mentions that she had an abusive father, but was a fighter and survived. At age 16, Margaret was diagnosed with brain tumor and given a 50/50 chance to live. She survived the cancer after three operations and chemotherapy. She has 3 holes in her head.

She soon grew tired of the solicitous attention offered to cancer survivors and disappeared from her hometown. By age 18, she was living with a man and started doing drugs with him. They were caught robbing houses to support their drug habits and she was sent to Framingham Correctional Facility for Women, where she found out she was three months pregnant. Her son, born in prison, was taken away from her shortly after birth. After she was released Maggie got her life together and kicked her addiction, but the invasion followed shortly thereafter and Maggie was forced to become a fighter, a role that she was naturally suited for.

Story[]

"The Armory"[]

Three months after the Invasion she joined John Pope gang. During her time with them she was raped by John's brother Billy Pope and Cueball, who brought her presents, thinking it made what he did ok. Pope later implies that he saved her life, and that she was a very different person while she was with him and his gang.

After Pope's gang had taken Tom Mason and his squad hostage, Maggie was tasked with escorting a hooded Hal Mason out of the hideout so he could return to the 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment with the gang's demands for releasing the remaining hostages. Hal attempted to disarm her, but Maggie demonstrated her skills as an effective fighter by quickly subduing Hal.

Later, when Pope goes to negotiate the hostage exchange, he leaves Maggie behind with Billy and Cueball to guard Tom, Anne Glass, and the members of Tom's squad. After Billy makes lascivious remarks directed toward Karen Nadler, Maggie looks angry and disgusted, and quickly and efficiently shoots and kills Billy and Cueball. She tells the others how she had been sexually abused by Billy and Cueball since first encountering the gang, noting that Cueball seemed to think bringing gifts made it okay. She then frees Tom's squad and joins them in attacking John Pope.

  • Connection to Ben: During the time that she had three of Ben's spikes, a connection formed between the two. This connection disappeared once Maggie's spikes were removed.

Abilities[]
