Maggie the Cat

Maggie the Cat - A young woman from Ohio, and one of the victims of Xanatos and Sevarius’s Mutates project.

History

Maggie Reed came to New York hoping to become a star, but found no acting jobs and went through her money much more quickly than she had anticipated. Before long, she found herself living out on the street, where Sevarius found her and lured her into his service. From there, he made her one of the Mutates.

Maggie escaped (being actually prompted to do so by Sevarius, as part of the scheme to mutate Derek), and encountered Brooklyn and Broadway, who attempted, unsuccessfully, to rescue her from the Gen-U-Tech security team; in the process, Brooklyn developed a crush on Maggie that she, needless to say, did not return. Goliath, Lexington, and Brooklyn promptly broke her out of Gen-U-Tech, in the process "foiling" Sevarius’s cure of Derek, and took her back with them to the clock tower; however, she was afraid of the gargoyles, and fled as soon as they turned to stone. She went to Castle Wyvern to seek shelter with Xanatos, alongside the other Mutates, but after their first clash with the gargoyles there, fled with the other Mutates (rejecting Brooklyn’s overtures in the process).

Like the other Mutates, however, Maggie returned to work for Xanatos, hoping that he could cure them. While Talon was more interested in gaining revenge on Goliath and Sevarius, whom he blamed for his condition, and Fang liked being a Mutate, Maggie simply longed to become human again. When she and the other Mutates located Sevarius with Goliath in the Labyrinth, she was more than ready to take Sevarius’s cure, even if it was really poison, but Talon persuaded her against it, in the process revealing his feelings for her.

Maggie then settled down with the other Mutates in the Labyrinth, in the process growing closer to Talon.

When Fang seized control of the Labyrinth in his coup, he temporarily captured her, but she later on escaped and obtained the help of Hudson and the trio in deposing Fang and liberating the Labyrinth.

Maggie and Talon will eventually get married.

Characteristics

Maggie’s Mutate form was modeled on that of a lioness. She is the gentlest of the Mutates, and despite her initial fear of the gargoyles, soon came to understand that they were not evil monsters and wanted to help her. While having no romantic feelings for Brooklyn, despite his infatuation for her, she soon came to fall in love with Talon (no doubt thanks in part to his concern for her, particularly when he stopped her from drinking Sevarius’s "antidote").
