kitty whitmore / old

things become most interesting in maisie’s life when she’s fourteen. though her childhood was happy, albeit a little lonely for an only child, fourteen is when her dad opens a comic book shop in an old mechanic’s garage in town and names it, on his daughter’s advice, infinite realities. 

this is the place where she learns to be social, where she learns her most impressive life skills, where she finds all of her favorite hobbies. she becomes a master of board games and by the time she’s nineteen maisie can beat most who challenge her in games like settlers of catan, risk, and four player chess. these games were largely about resource management, political machinations, and keeping an eye on all players on the board. though she makes most decisions with imperfect information, like all people do, she has a talent for seeing as many perspectives as possible and guessing at those she might not fully know. 

high school came easily to someone like her. she had a keen mind, a penchant for catching onto the smallest threads and unraveling larger concepts. though she wasn’t necessarily the most social, she wasn’t lacking in outlets and served on both the student paper and their theater department.

when she was a member of their theater department, she found a love for the stage that she didn’t particularly expect. though she was social in her father’s bookstore, this was where she decided for sure that she would be comfortable on television as a meteorologist, a change from what she had previously wanted to do, which was only work with the radar and numbers and not have her face shown if she could have avoided it. her love for theater that was fostered here has continued on to college, as did her enjoyment of being on the student newspaper. 

college seems to be the last in her metamorphosis into a more confident being. there’s something charming about how honest she is, how she tries to say the things on her mind, and doesn’t particularly mind how people look at her. she is loud, she takes up space, and she is proud of the person that she’s become. she tends not to apologize for who she is. 

maisie declared her major as applied mathematics in the middle of her second semester. though she knew that she always wanted to pursue it, she wanted to dabble in more humanities classes before she decided that would be the thing she wanted. officially, before the world went to hell, she was an applied mathematics major with a double minor in religion and history. 

after the storm, most of maisie’s personal relationships were put on the backburner while she tried to organize the students and evaluate where their supplies were at. funny enough, that penchant for board games came in handy and her skills at resource management were more sharply refined than one might have expected. 

when she steps up to the plate, she does it with the understanding that this was not the thing that would make her the most friends but she wanted to do everything she could to keep the chaos contained and the people around her safe. the guilt from sitting idly by would have consumed her, as it consumes her now that she’s been ousted. 

though she holds grudges, she doesn’t make it known just how upset she is at being ousted. sure her policies weren’t the most freedom-embracing, but everyone had enough food and plenty of water and a bed to lay in at night. though she appreciates having her own room again, she does all that she can to conserve power in the house she’s living in. things are on the verge of chaos once more and she doesn’t know if she can save the students of halloway a second time.
