Amenti "Maibe" Anapa

This is unfinished, due to my lacking technology forte.

''"I'm just a small fish in a big pond. Fortunately for me, I have millenia to make my place in it." ''-Maibe

Anessa, or Maibe as she much prefers to be referred to as, is a daughter of Anubis, the Egyptian deity associated with embalming and funerals. It is much recommended that you call her Maibe. To call her Anessa will have unpleasant and often violent results.

Personality
Maibe's a strong, independent, and all around stubborn girl. She tends not to get too close to anyone unless she has too. She's got a temper the size of Jupiter and is usually snarky at the best of times. She doesn't put up with most things, and isn't afraid to get violent.

Once you become a close friend and break through the cold and tempered outside, Maibe's actually a loyal, opinionated girl, and has a major sweet fang. She's extremely territorial though. Mess with her friends, especially her boyfriend, and you will find out that this jackal's bite is much worse than her bark.

Physical description
Maibe has long black hair (with unkempt bangs and a blue streak), dark skin, and pale gold eyes that are usually lined with kohl. Two of her most notable attributes are her tall jackal ears (which are pierced) and long fangs that change length with her emotions (1" at neutral, 3" at mad, and so on). She's a bit taller than average, with a full "hourglass" figure. Her nails are normally worn rather long and filed to a point. Whether this is inherited or her preferred way to wear them is undetermined.

She has two tattoos. The first is located on her right shoulder, which is the heiroglyph meaning 'abstract idea' and the second is located on her midriff, being the heiroglyph for eternal life.

Despite her age, she's only at the developmental stage of a 16/17 year-old. This is due to her living most of her life in the Duat, where years pass differently.

She does, however, have a limited ability to change her appearance. "Limited" meaning she has three settings at the moment: Full jackal, human, and the hybrid form (the latter coming most naturally).

Her outfits are normally an assortment of gold jewelry and black/red/blue clothes, normally paired with sandals. She doesn't mind showing much skin, and often has rather short shorts.

Classical Monster
Anubis is the Greek name for the Egyptian death god, who is the god of funerals and watches over the Hall of Judgement. This is where the spirits of the deceased travel too to get their heart weighed against the Feather of Ma'at, the personification of order. If their heart is weighed down to much by their sins, it is devoured by Ammit. If their heart is equal to the feather, they will pass into the Field of Reeds, also known as Aaru.

Anubis is most often depicted either as a jackal, or a man with the head of a jackal, as these animals are most commonly seen in graveyards. He's the patron of embalmers. He is the son of Nephthys, the "Lady of the Temple", and Osiris, king of the Duat. Though, some other depictions show him as the son of Nephthys and her husband, Seth.

During the Old Kingdom, he is depicted as the most important death god, but is ursurped by Osiris during the Middle Kingdom.

His other names are Anpu, Inpu, Ienpw, and Imeut. It is vocalized in Egyptian as "Anapa".

Family
" I am death, Eshe...Well, ''his daughter, anyway." - Maibe talking to Eshe in "A day in the life of...''"

Maibe is the fourth eldest (so the artist believes) child to Anubis, and the second to him and his wife, Anput. Although she doesn't live with them, she's on a relatively good basis with her parents. But moreso with her father than mother.

She comes from a big family, and that's not even counting her father and mother's relatives. Her eldest sibling, and the only one who has the same mother as her, is Kebechet, the goddess of embalming liquid, and the sister she's on best terms with. She has multiple half siblings whom she talks with, but otherwise don't associate with them as often.

Her legal guardian is a winged guardian sphinx named Eshe Sands, whom Maibe looks up too as a motherly and sisterly figure. She's basically considered family.

Friends
Maibe doesn't have many friends, and she really want too. The friends she does have are few, and she tends to gravitate towards a central group. She is on good terms with Nyla Ix (belonging to Maddy the 13th Doctor), and her boyfriend's "cousins", Harmony Seirene and Scylar N. Serpientos, are the closest friends she has at Monster High.

(The artist also imagines her on relatively decent terms with Operetta. They have similar personalities, plus Maibe has fascinations with New Orleans funeral culture, due to its being similar to Egypt's. She finds it to make sense...somewhat.)

Enemies
Maibe...isn't the most kind to those outside of her circle of friends. The most notable being Armena Reider, a valkyrie-in-training. They act so similarly to the point that they can hardly be in the same room together. (And Armena's totally not  boyfriend is despised by Maibe's).

The person she despises the most, however, is someone whose haunted her since Ancient Egypt, Apophis Apep (II), whom she once had a fling with. That ended badly...very badly. Her hatred of him is increased by his pursuit of her even at Monster High. Although, it is not at all serious, and he does it mainly to annoy her, calling her "My little cobra" and even surprise!kissing her in the hallway. Whether he has feelings for her is still undetermined.

Pet
Maibe's pet is a four year-old Egyptian dog by the name of Aziza. It is noted that they have similar body language, thanks to Maibe's canine attributes.

Romance
As said, she did once have a fling with Apep, though it was when the pyramids were new and it didn't end so well.

Her current relationship is with a Charles Messina, son of Charybdis. They're going steady, and don't plan on breaking up anytime soon. Their anniversary is set on May 28th.

Basic
Maibe wears a grey tank top and short denim shorts underneath an off-shoulder, sheer blue dress. She also wears high-heeled gladiator wedges and has a number of gold bangles on both wrists, this is completed by an ankh necklace on a long chain. Her hair is worn in a loose ponytail and her eyeshadow is light gold while her lipstick is red.

Dawn of the Dance
While her hair is left long and loose, the bangs are styled from their usual so they brush over one eye. She wears a low-cut, sleevless red dress that reaches her knees, along with a black jacket. Her jewelry stays in the gold theme, being a series of bangles on her right wrist. Her shoes are gold, gladiator-inspired sandals with a red jewel on them, and the heels are shaped to look like ankhs. Her makeup is in tones of red.

Gloom Beach
Due to her strong dislike of swimming, Maibe doesn't own many swimsuits. She does, however, wear a royal blue bikini top paired with swim shorts, and she wears a green and blue hoodie zipped up over that. Her hair is pulled back in a high ponytail, and her shoes are strappy, high-heeled sandals. Her makeup is royal blue and green.

Dead Tired
Her hair is braided down her back, and she is thoroughly makeup-less. She wears an off-shoulder, white linen wrap top, which allows you to see her shoulder tattoo, and baggy gray sweat pants. Her slippers are linen flats.

Schools Out
Maibe wears a black, long-sleeved, v-neck peasant blouse and choker, along with jeans and sandle wedges. Her hair is cut short, reaching just above her shoulders, with hair beading. She comes with a black, gold, and blue nomad pack and her eyeshadow is gray while her lipstick is red.

Maul Crawl/Day at the Maul
Maibe's hair is worn up in a high ponytail with sideswept bangs. She has on a gray, off-shoulder top with quarter-length sleeves over a gold tank top, along with denim shorts and a single fingerless glove. And the wedge sandals make a come back, along with the red lipstick and gold-toned eye shadow.

Skull Shores
She has on a black two-piece under a teal hoodie. Her hair is midback length, wavy, and has matching teal streaks, her bangs are pinned back with a green hair clip. Her makeup is in tones of green and blue, while her shoes are wedges with brown heels and green straps.

Trivia

 * Maibe has had three name changes as of yet; one to her first name and two to her last.
 * Originally, she wasn't going to be with Charles. The artist tossed around the idea of her with an OC who is no longer active before she ended up with him.
 * When she has a hoodie, it's safe to guess that she stole it from Charles.
 * Originally, she had a cat named Isis, which was then changed to a dog named Amaunet, and that was changed to Aziza.
 * She once took over the artist's mind for a week, meaning that she had no idea what to draw but her.
 * Two friends of the artist humorously refer to her DotD shoes as "ankheels," much to the artist's displeasure.
 * Maibe originally was approximately the artist's eighth OC, but after several OC retirements, she got bumped to third.
 * In the artist's humorous fairy tale crossovers, Maibe is often in the role of the princess in Aladdin.
 * Maibe has horrid astrophobia and hydrophobia (she's scared of water and storms). This is due to her being caught in a Nile flood when she was young.
 * She wears her DotD outfit on her first date with Charles.
 * Maibe is an Egyptian name meaning grave, while Aziza means precious. Eshe also means life.
