Personality-
Maggie has a thirst for knowledge and requires constant intellectual stimulation. She is always picking up bits and pieces of information from a wide variety of sources, and can converse with interest and some knowledge on most subjects. Maggie often has several books or magazines on the go at once, and is particularly good at multitasking. She has many brilliant ideas. Maggie maintains a frenzied pace and often does more than one person can really muster up the energy for. She’s a real go getter at times.
She isn’t much for communicating with others. Sure, she will dabble in polite conversation or go out of her way if necessary, but all in all..Maggie is a particularly private individual who would much prefer to watch from the side lines and observe, rather than throw herself in the spotlight. If Maggie finds herself in a dull situation or among people who are not doing anything interesting, she is liable to stir the pot and get something going, just to amuse herself. Maggie will often play with people for fun, though this is usually done in a light-hearted and non-malicious way.
Maggie tells lies or half-truths regularly in order to make life easier. She can talk herself into or out of anything. As a result, Maggie tends to do well in situations where the opportunity arises to interact with the public; she knows what people want to hear. She has a natural talent for manipulating people. However, the majority of the time Maggie puts a considerable amount of her communication and persuasion skills in a more professional use, rather than for her own amusement.
Maggie is often style-conscious and follows the current fads. She loves modern gadgets and is good with technology, at least with those technologies that facilitate communication and information transfer. Although she is quick to learn the basics of any new skill, if Maggie becomes bored, she quickly loses interest, and moves on, wanting to learn something else. Maggie often pushes herself beyond her own limits.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Maggie has lots of energy, which she needs to burn off continuously through physical activities. She is competitive by nature and has an aptitude for athletics, either team sports or solitary fitness activities. She also, strangely enjoys watching sports and other physical displays such as dance, skating, skiing or other fitness activities that require movement and coordination. Maggie has a particularly strong draw toward martial arts, which she has been practising since a very young age.
Maggie does nothing by half-measures. Anything she chooses to do, she does fully and completely. She is stubborn and generally refuses to accept defeat, even long after a situation has become untenable. She rarely stays down for long though, as she is a naturally optimistic female that bounces back quickly from misfortune and strife. She has a way of coming out on top in most situations.
Maggie has a knack for making useful disguises and costumes out of nearly anything in her environment (or being sneaky enough to get her hands on a disguise). She is easily capable of thinking quickly on her feet, getting a hold of the look she needs to blend in with her environment and not be spotted, and is particularly good at acting/impersonation as well. This skill goes back to her days in the C.I.A, with a lot of undercover work.
Because Maggie has the thirst for knowledge and learning new things, it’s none surprising that she is particularly good at numerous styles of fighting. Maggie has trained in various fighting styles, from kick boxing to lucha libre. She has an affinity for studying new techniques as well as for practicing in her own personal fighting style preference. Maggie is mostly skilled in the style of Wushu, a form of martial arts that she has practised from a young age.
Maggie is fairly good with attention to detail. With this skill she is awesome at deciphering encrypted messages, spoken or visual. Because she is so good at noticing things, Maggie is able to apply herself to many situations. She’s fantastic at lip-reading from a great distance. She is also good at reading the way a person behaves. You can tell a lot by someone’s body language and behavioural changes. There’s not much one can get passed Maggie without her detecting it.
Limits-
Maggie thinks fast, moves fast and talks fast. However, with that being said, when it comes to others Maggie are very patient, particularly with slow moving, slow speaking people. When given no other choice, Maggie can be quite forceful and even aggressive when pursuing what she wants, and willing to charge head first into conflict. She prefers to deal with problems immediately, head on, and will rarely avoid confrontation. This leads her to poke at and provoke some of the more avoidant types until they can implement some sort of catharsis in interpersonal situations. Maggie has little respect for those who can’t put up a good fight.
She tends to be honest and forthright, almost to a fault at times. She is in no way subtle, and has a terrible temper that even though is difficult to set off, is explosive when she erupts. She often says and does things rashly that cause strife in her interpersonal relationships. A lack of tact can create problems.
Appearance-
Maggie stands at five feet and five inches. Naturally her hair is black in colour and straight in style. When her hair is worn down, it sits against the lower of her back. Maggie has a rather round head shape; and a defined rounded jaw that narrows slightly at the chin. She has a narrow bridged nose with a button tip and high rounded cheekbones, which make her features, look a little bigger. Maggie’s lips are fairly thin and symmetrical.
Maggie is of Asian heritage, so her eyes are very almond shaped and narrow. She has dark hazel eyes that compliment well against her complexion.
When it comes to clothing, she favours comfort over fashion. Though, she does like to keep up to date with the latest’s trends, it isn’t something she prides herself on. Even though she favours comfort, Maggie prides herself on her femininity and looking good in whatever she wears, so it’s not often that she will be seen wearing jeans and a pair of sneakers.

History-
Magdelena was born in Beijing, China on August 1st, 1968to parents Hiroshi Chen, a police officer and Jun Shao, an Orthodontist.
Maggie grew up in a middle class home, and being the oldest of four children, played a large part in the upbringing of her three younger siblings. When Maggie turned 8 years, her brother Huan was born. Her mother shortly left her part as an Orthodontist to take care of her new born son. Her job was slightly easier with Maggie on hand, even though she was only 8 years old, she enjoyed helping her mother take care of baby Huan. Up until Huan was born, Maggie had been quite spoiled, she got everything she wanted and even though times were hard for her family..her father always provided. She was the apple of his eye.
The birth of Huan caused a lot of change in the family. For starters, they decided to immigrate to the USA after years of debating. Her father believed that doing so he could provide a better life for them. A year later when Maggie was 9 years old, they finally moved. The move and birth of her sibling caused Maggie to mature quite vastly, and sure enough more siblings came alone for Maggie to take care of. Of course she was family orientated but her whole life did not revolve around family. Maggie was a hard working young woman who strived for success, much like her father. At school she was hard working, a book worm type who liked to learn new things and achieve all goals set for herself. She had straight A-grades and even partook in some extracurricular activities. A great passion that Maggie also had was a love for martial arts. Her father had a background in martial arts which plucked her interest even more.
Maggie had watched him from a young age train and had often joined him in some light training over her own since from the age of seven. When Maggie was 12 years old she decided to take up martial arts as a hobby, only..she seemed to do very well in it and it ended up becoming more then just that. Between studies and chores, she trained. It was no surprise when Maggie decided to follow in her father’s footsteps and apply to become a police officer. She joined at 18 years old and served two years in the force before looking at a career in the C.I.A.
At 20 years old, Maggie joined the C.I.A. and served with them for 8 years. Maggie liked working for the C.I.A it taught her a lot and bettered her as a person, she liked the physical work behind it all but didn’t feel as if she was working at her full potential. She loved her job but there was a whole world out there for her to explore. So, Maggie joined the F.B.I. She worked as an investigator for the F.B.I. During her time with the F.B.I Maggie did a lot of jobs but one in particular stuck with her.
There was a situation in which a man had held a drug store up, her partner at the time was locked inside with other civilians. The man was a wreck and in eed of some supplies. He went catatonic and something changed in him. The next thing she knew the whole place had exploded and her partner was killed. The strange thing was that, that same man was the only one left standing after it all. The man had been a special and caused so much destruction yet was able to continue on with his life, as if nothing happened and all those innocent people including her partner had lost theres.
Anything else?- Maggie has 30 years of martial arts training under her belt, specifically fighting forms of Eskrima and Wushu. In1991 the first Wushu competition surfaced as Wushu was considered a sport. Maggie was 23 when the competitions began, she took part in every competition up until she was 37. Maggie came first or second in all of the contests.
Sample RP-
Inside the bank Maggie continued to wait in line which had began moving, slowly but surely. So many people were coming in and out now, including the white knuckled driver of a Chevy. The man passed Maggie's line, pushing in and making his way up towards the front of the line. He proceeded to cut off the person in front, an elderly woman. Maggie recognised this man as her target, they’d tapped into his phone, heard a conversation between himself and his friends about holding up a bank. This bank. This bank today and right now where she stood. This man was wanted, he had committed so many crimes but yet left no evidence behind..that was until today. What better evidence to have then the suspect at the scene of the crime committing the crime?, Maggie gently placed her finger to her ear and whispered “He’s here..there’s two more near the entrance..all armed, back up won't be required..i've got this under control..” she stated confidently as she lifted her hazel hues to the mirror in the corner, it reflected both men’s positions.
“Hey, what's the big idea? You can't cut in line” the elderly lady spoke in a weak, shaky tone. She was old, frail and clearly not up for confrontation but Maggie had to hand it to her, she was standing her ground. The man turned to confront the older lady (who was much smaller in build then he) He smiled, but soon the smile subsided turning into a maniacal grin. Maggie knew that look. He was as plainly evil as the eye could see. Maggie braced herself for whatever this man was to do.
“You know what, you remind me of my grandma.” The man replied. The woman at this point had began trembling, clutching tightly to her bag as she stared this sinister being in the eyes, afraid and frozen stiff unable to move. Maggie watched from her place, it was all she could do right now. She listened to his words, and watched all of his movements like a hawk, ready to strike if she needed too. Maggie slid her hand under her jacket ready to grab her gun. The man swiftly whipped out a sawed-off shotgun from his pants aiming it right at the elderly woman’s face.
She felt her hand tighten around her gun. Her hazel hues projected ahead of her, glaring at the armed man. He chose the wrong day to hold up this bank. Of course, by now, people had realized the implications of the situation at hand. They began to panic. On cue, the two men near the entrance stepped into the scenario, both of which were armed with automatic rifles. Maggie observed the scene, allowing her eyes to roam the room, from each of the three gunmen. Suddenly the gunman with the shotgun dropped the security guard to his left with the butt of his gun; the other two took aim and began killing off the surveillance cameras on each end of the bank. BANG. BANG. The crowd quickly ducked down as terror gripped the queues. The shotgun bandit took centre stage. He leapt up on to the teller counter and began shouting the odds. For the time being Maggie co-operated.
The bank employees and patrons were shortly corralled at the centre of the bank. Their faces all registered pain, fear and all other kinds of unpleasant emotions. They were all ordered to squat in the lotus position, legs crossed like pretzels. Maggie was amongst the crowd, watching with interest. The lead guy was now behind the teller window being assisted by a female bank worker, who he was holding at gun point. She began to fill his bag with money while the other two assholes pointed their guns and began rummaging the helpless patrons for money, jewellery and other collectibles. They weaved through the crowd waving their automatic wands. People were instantly dishing out valuables into his canvas bag. Then, he arrived in front of Maggie, leaning over her motioning at the bag with his rifle.
Her hazel hues lifted up to meet his. She shook her head. The man laughed, a sinister grin grew on his lips. He grabbed out at her arm and dragged her to her feet. As she stood at her full height now with her back to him he yelled over to his buddy taunting her bravery. The main guy walked toward them while the third guy continued to rob people of their belongings. The first guy approached with his shotgun aimed at her “What part of being robbed don’t you understand? Put your shit in the bag now!” he shouted at her pointing the shotgun at her face. Maggie smirked; neither man had thought this through. The man eyed her lowering the gun slightly, he motioned to his friend “Kill her..” what? He didn’t have the guts to do it?
Maggie slid her hand carefully inside her coat, not grabbing her gun now but something else. A small baton. Gripping it tight she pulled it out and quickly smashed it against his wrist, the man screamed and dropped the gun to the ground. Kicking it away she turned spin kicking the guy behind her in the face and knocking him to the ground. The third guy took a shot at her from where he was stood across the room. Maggie rolled and grabbed the Automatic that the second guy had left on the ground. Grabbing it she turned and fired back at the third guy popping bullets into his knees. He fell to the ground screaming. Guy number two jumped up and ran at her; she took two shots at him knocking him down.
The first guy rolled to get his gun. She elevated on her feet and jumped in the air, both her feet landing into his back knocking him onto the floor again. The man grunted. She kept him pinned. Turning her eyes to view the other two men who were most definitely not going anywhere she turned her focus back on the first guy, her original target. Maggie smirked. She placed the gun down on the floor, dropped to her knees so that she was sitting on his back now. Maggie took out her cuffs and pulled his arms behind his back and cuffed him.
