Changes: Maggie Lacivi

Revision as of 00:47, 19 February 2017

Maggie Lacivi is a former classmate and friend of Ava Ire. She is pacted with the demon Tuls Tenebrose. She has plant-like abilities and exhibits the power to make her appendages become vines. She speaks in dark green text in a teal speech bubble. She first appears in detail on page 0010, although is in the background of page 0005. Her latest appearance in comic is in page 1589

Maggie is short for Magnolia. "Lacivi" is a variation of the word "lascivious" which means "flirty" or "lustful". Her associated sin is lust.

Appearance

Maggie has brown skin, freckles and long, curly hair. Due to her pact, her freckles, hair, and lips have all taken on a dark green hue. Before this she was a brunette. As a result of her pact, she can sprout plants from any part of her body at will; the most extreme use of this seen so far is her creating tree-like extensions of her arms. It seems that her skin also takes on the appearance of bark at times, such as when she uses her powers or feels any strong emotion.

She has pale green eyes with triangular teal pupils.

Personality

Maggie initially appears to be confrontational, rude and egotistical, though this was seen only through her interactions with Ava, and Odin Arrow, displaying lack of care for other's lives, probably to people that treat her rudely. Ava has expressed guilt for this, suggesting that whatever happened to cause animosity between them also caused Maggie to be rude and aggressive to people as a whole. She is seen to act kinder to Gil Marverde, possibly because he treats her with kindness and because of her quickly-developed crush on him. She is also seen to possibly still care of Ava due to the picture from when they were children that she keeps inside the door on her stomach. It is shown that in the picture, Maggie had brown hair therefore it was taken before her pact. She appears to be somewhat egoistical with Tuls, as she hasn't expressed any big concerns about Tuls and his part of the pact and his feelings towards Ranunculae, and seems to care most for what she can get with Tuls's help. She is not fully aware about what will happen to her if the pact fails, maybe because she is not able to take things seriously as she should.

She also appears to fall for people easily, and to be somewhat emotionally immature, as Gil is the 6th person she has asked Tuls to use his magic on. This is apparent in the way she decides Gil as her "prince" almost immediately after meeting him; she is seen to be aware of his flaws however, expressing disdain towards his dedication to TITAN.

Maggie's deadly sin is lust, the sin of deep obsession, which is reflected in her flirty attitude towards Gil as soon as she meets him and her tenacious desire to be loved and obtain her goals. Maggie's clinginess can be interpreted as a stigma of depression and abandonment.

The pupil shape chosen for Maggie is a triangle to represent her sharpness and contrast to Ava, whose pupil is a circle. Michelle describes this as "....as if she[Maggie] is striving to become everything Ava could not; the sharpest shape against the softest."

Maggie1 — Maggie's first appearance in the story

Maggie attended the same school as Ava Ire. They were once friends as kids but she took to bullying Ava as a teenager. This might have been in retaliation for Ava's violent outbursts while she was possessed by Wrathia. At some point, Maggie became possessed by Tuls Tenebrose and made a pact with him. In exchange for getting her a lover, Maggie would help Tuls to find Ranunculae.

On the day 1/3/3031, Maggie watches as Ava shouts out in class, and is sent to the principal's office. A strange boy sitting behind her, later revealed as Odin, attempts to get her attention. Maggie reacts violently and ends up leaving, thinking that he is a stalker. Maggie goes to the principle's office seeking help, only to be brushed off by the secretary. Ava is present to see this and the two girls begin to fight. Odin enters the room, having evidently followed Maggie (much to her aggravation). Odin, now having her attention, tries to warn her that they are in danger and that she should leave the planet with him. Maggie brushes the comment aside, mistaking it for poorly-executed flirting. At that moment, the school is attacked by the Silent Scavengers that break the wall of the building. Maggie is hit with debris and immediately knocked unconscious. Odin then picks her up and brings her to his ship.

Once on the ship, Odin scans her while she is still unconscious. Several minutes later, Maggie awakens in pain and is surprised to find Ava tied up next to her. As Odin returns to the room, Maggie feigns sleep in order to catch him off guard. She uses her branch arms to incapacitate him. This is the first time that we see Maggie demonstrate this ability. After a short interrogation and argument, Odin calls her a monster and sets off Maggie’s temper. She uses her arms to smash the controls of the ship in an attempt to crash them into the nearest planet and kill everyone on board, save herself. This is also the first indication we are given of Maggie’s invincibility—she states that the crash won’t kill her and ignores Odin’s panic.

True to her word, Maggie survives. She wakes up in Gil’s house and upon seeing Gil's face, becomes infatuated with him. She begins flirting which demonstrates her sin of lust. After voicing distaste to Odin’s unconscious form and taking steps to sexualize her appearance by pushing up her cleavage, Maggie converses with Gil. The conversation ranges, giving readers insight on Gil’s past and TITAN (through the perspective of a follower). Gil does not tell Maggie about Nevy. Maggie then explains her own situation, voicing anger that Ava survived the crash, and informing Gil that Odin may be a criminal. She eventually asks to go to TITAN HQ with Gil in an attempt to become closer to him under the guise that she wants to become a follower. Maggie drinks celebratory alcohol, which is in fact poison. Because she is incapable of dying, she merely loses consciousness. While asleep, Maggie enters her mind which is revealed to be a large forest.

She is confronted by several talking flowers, all of which compliment her or praise her presence. Maggie addresses them with annoyance. Upon questioning, the flowers decline to reveal the location Tuls, saying that he is sad--a fairy lands on her palm and says that the demon is scared of her. Maggie crushes the sprite in her hand, wipes the remains on her dress, and goes to find Tuls regardless, stepping on the flowers. Eventually, Maggie locates the door to Tuls after hearing him groan and walks down a well-decorated hallway, knocking down a painting of Ranunculae. She finds Tuls painting and complains to him about the tangle of flora in the room, then proceeds to tell him about Gil, incorrectly stating that he is her new boyfriend.

Maggie then tries to convince Tuls to work his magic for her. He is initially resistant, saying that she has already abused his powers, that he is becoming weak, and that he wishes to find Ranunculae soon. However, he agrees to help despite Gil being the sixth boy she has tried to court. The pair walk down a stairwell discussing their pact and their relationship. Tuls then pulls out a flower seedling, telling her it is a rose and that it is his second to last one. After restating the rules of his magic, they commence the ceremony using Gil's book to produce a blue rose. Maggie places the flower in her cupboard, kisses Tuls, and exits.

0964 — Maggie acquires the look of her childhood

When she is leaving, she finds a strange drawer with lava and soon crosses paths with Ava. Unaware of Ava's pact, and of the subsequent ability this gives her to travel into other minds, she starts to bully Ava, thinking that she is another creation of Tuls. Maggie shouts at Ava to get out of her mind, however Ava says that is impossible to her get out of her own mind. Maggie becomes incredulous, complaining that Tuls wastes his magic with elaborate illusions. As Ava affirms that she isn't an illusion, and is the real Ava, the ground starts open revealing fire, Ava notices that Maggie made a pact with Tuls and that she needs to complete it, proposing to one help the other with it and asking to help Maggie. Maggie acquires a look just like she had as a child and claims that she cannot believe in what she is hearing, saying that Ava doesn't know anything about helping her. Maggie lets Ava fall into the lava in the crevice. As Gil lands his ship, Maggie wakes up and asks for someone kill the lights. Gil asks to Ava and Odin to wait outside because he wants to talk with Maggie. When the two of them get out, Maggie asks where they are and Gil reminds her. Gil asks if she is sure that she wants to travel with him and become a follower. Maggie claims that she is totally ready for it.

0994 — The rose and the book comes to outside

Before leaving, Maggie questions if the ship has a mirror. After Gil talks about one at the utility closer and recommends her to be quick, Maggie goes to there and checks the flower. She removes the book from it, also removing the knob of the door at her stomach and tying her hair with it. She also pushes up her breasts, saying that it's time to 'perk up'. After it she leaves the closet looking for Gil, she finds him outside of the ship and she asks him to wait. She says that she "found" his book, when she actually stole it, and asks if he dropped it on the floor of the ship. After thanking her, Gil notices that the book has dirt on it and Maggie says that it is odd. A guard suddenly shouts to them asking if they have any follower identification. Maggie becomes scared and hides behind Gil. When Gil explains the situation, Maggie brushes it off and is analyzed by the guard. At the planet, Maggie thanks Gil again to which Gil states that there is no problem and that she will be a great follower. Maggie asks again if he is sure. She continues walking with Gil as he guides Ava and Odin to the refugee center, however, she is really disgusted for being together with Ava and Odin. After they are pushed into the refugee center by Gil, she sticks her tongue out at them.

As Odin and Ava break out of the refugee center, Maggie and Gil make their way towards the place where Gil will officially register as a doctor, and Maggie as a follower. They seem to have been waiting for a long time before being finally called up to register. They are, however, interrupted by a boy soaked in blood, who asks for a soldier. How he obtained his injuries is entirely unknown to Maggie and Gil.

Trivia

Like Ava, Maggie is affected by her powers when evoked with strong emotions. This is shown when Maggie talks to Gil and heart leaves begin to sprout and when she is asking Gil to let her come with him as her skin begins to look more like tree bark.
Maggie's full first name is Magnolia, furthering her tie to trees and nature.
Tuls is the only character to call her by her full name.
Maggie's main color scheme ties into Gil's sin of "being green with envy", while Gil's color scheme of blue is associated with lust; the magical rose Maggie intends to give to Gil is also blue.
Maggie likes singing, loud parties, running, sunbathing, and swimming.
Maggie's necklace she has in her dream form has been confirmed to have great significance. Speculation is that it represents a noose she used to try to take her life, which ultimately ended her with Tuls.
Maggie's story has been noted to share a few similarities with the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast", though Michelle has stated this was generally unintentional.
According to Michelle, in our universe Maggie's race would be African-Latina.
Currently, Maggie's pupils are a light greenish-white, but as seen on pages 0184 and 0964, she previously had black pupils. While it is thought that the change might have occurred as a result of becoming bound to Tuls, the official cause of the alteration is unknown.
In response to Maggie being called a bitch, Michelle has come to her defense and has stated "She's not a bitch, she's just troubled. Troubled people are angry and sad and you should have empathy for them."
Maggie's childhood picture with Ava disappears from her stomach cabinet after she gains the blue rose, possibly signifying that her lust for Gil has replaced any remaining friendship towards Ava.
At a convention panel for the comic, Michelle confirmed that Maggie's sexuality is heterosexual.
