– HEALTH –

» physical health: overall, maggie is in great health. she tries to work out somewhat regularly and tends to eat a balanced diet. she doesn't drink too often or smoke at all.
» scars: she has several small scars from various bumps and scrapes but there is a sizeable scar on the front of her left shoulder from a car accident while she was a freshman in college. a driver t-boned her small sedan in an intersection when she was on her way home from a final exam. when she woke up in the hospital, with both of her parents at her bedside, she had stitches stretching approximately three inches from her clavicle towards her upper arm.
» broken (any) bones: surprisingly, despite being quite active, maggie hasn't ever broken a bone. she's quite graceful from taking dance classes since she could walk until she graduated high school.

– MENTAL HEALTH –

» extrovert or introvert: since getting older, maggie has become comfortable with the knowledge that she is a relatively private person. when she was younger, she enjoyed being in crowds however, she now tends to retract into her shell when surrounded by too many people.
» logical or creative: maggie is incredibly logical; she is very formulaic in her thought patterns. when it comes to problem solving, maggie has all but got it down to a science which can be effective but she'd be incorrect to say it was without fault.
» optimist or pessimist: neither term seems to describe the woman very well; she feels as though she'd call herself a realist. the world has let her down more times than she can count so she makes an effort to always adjust her expectations towards the most-likely event.
» phobias / fears: maggie doesn't have many random phobias; she kind of believes that the worst thing that could happen to her had already happened. aside from the existential, she isn't particularly fond of the dark or open water so she tends to avoid it if possible. and though she'd never say it, complete silence frightens her because she hates to be left completely alone with only the thoughts in her head so she forces herself to constantly stay occupied.
» problems: maggie was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and generalized anxiety disorder when she was sixteen. she goes through occasional bouts of depression but she doesn't find it to be chronic. though undiagnosed, following the death of her parents, she experiences the effects of post-traumatic stress.

– PERSONALITY –

» goals / dreams: maggie has always wanted to improve the world around her. when she was a little girl, she told her parents that she wanted to be the first doctor to go to space. when she found out that she'd have to be in space for months at a time, she quickly changed her plans. the brain always fascinated her and so she dove headfirst into her newfound passion. following the deaths of her parents, maggie wanted to help others like she wished that she had been and so she, once more, switched gears and went into social work.
» quirks / habits: maggie is a creature of habit. each morning, she wakes up and opens the curtains around the house before pouring herself a cup of cold brew coffee with cinnamon syrup and oat milk. she makes her bed and begins her day. when she gets home from work, she turns on her fairy lights and fans before removing her makeup and changing in to cozy clothes. as for quirks, maggie wouldn't say she has any but her friends would be quick to point out her concentration face– whenever she gets deep in to a hard task, her eyebrows screw up tightly and her lips purse. she doesn't like to look in mirrors when the room is dark, she only gets out of bed on the left side, and she habitually sings in the shower even when she isn't home alone.
» likes: precipitative weather like rain storms or snow ( especially thunderstorms ), vinyl records, lighting candles and allowing them to light the room, cooking or baking anything from scratch, old books with notes in the margin from an owner long forgotten, astronomy and any associated phenomena ( especially eclipses and meteor showers ), fleetwood mac and other classic rock icons, acts of service from loved ones, dogs with smushed faces, watching (or rewatching) films, freshly brewed tea, watching the sun set and staying awake to see it rise again, wisteria vines twisting around a fence, 'casablanca', f. scott fitzgerald novels, anything that is a dusty shade of sage green, tom hanks, vanilla bean ice cream (not french vanilla), using a polaroid camera to capture a moment, iced coffee with cinnamon, the beach during winter when the northern shores get a little bit icy, long drives at night with the windows down, sitting on the roof in a companionable silence with a loved one, the color of deep maroon rust, cozy throw blankets and an unnecessary amount of pillows on the couch and bed.
» dislikes: too much physical touch, indifference or apathy in the face of injustice, the deafening sound of crickets and cicadas at night, showing any signs of vulnerability, open-toed shoes, powdery or floral scents, olives, thin pillows, overhead lighting (lamps only, thank you very much), lack of a routine, being unable to read situations and prepare adequately, not feeling in control of any situation, harlequin novels, ladybugs and any other insects, disorganization (physically or emotionally.)
» flaws: she feels the need to always be the strong one that she often doesn't allow herself the freedom to feel her emotions fully without pushing them down. she has a habit of not letting people in, especially people who are new to her, and even when she does, she is always terrified that she'll lose them because she feels like she's lost most of the other people that she's loved. she is a control freak and can sometimes be a little bossy.
