Maverick

Maverick (マーヴェリック, Māvu~Erikku?) was a Hunter during the same time Marco was and appears in the spin-off series, GANGSTA:CURSED.

Appearance
Maverick is a young woman with light blonde hair that is straight until it reaches her jawline at which point it becomes slightly curly. She also has icy blue eyes. She wears a black dress with a white collar just below collarbone and wears a belt and matching black high heels. She has a standard Destroyers jacket that she wears open.

Personality
Maverick is seen to be like an older sister figure and leader to the Second Destroyers. However, during battles with Twilights, she showes a completely different psychopathic,sadistic,bloodthirsty and unhinged personality,constantly seeing/hallucinating her dead adoptive brother Abel and talking to him, expressing joy in showing "Him" the mangled corpses of Twilights and laughs gleefully at her slaughter, she also shown a strong commitment to the mission given to the destroyers seeing as how she immediately orderd Spas execution and coldly tried to kill him when he began to doubt the righteousness of their crusade, towards the end of their extermination mission of Twilights its been shown that her mental state began to degrade faster and faster seeing as how she began to slip even deeper into madness as she tried to convince Spas of how they were in the "right" and with his refusal to agree, becoming even more enraged and unhinged.

Background
Maverick was an orphan who lived in an orphanage until she was adopted by a family at the age of seven. According to Maverick at first everything was going well until her foster parents started to abuse her under the pretense that it was discipline. The only one that was kind to her was her foster brother Abel,who treated her like a real little sister until he was apparently killed by several stray Twilights. This would later prove to be her motivation for joining the Second Destroyers and killing any twilight she could.Years later Maverick was seemingly taken in and trained by the unknown superior of the Destroyers and from there oversaw the development of her fellow Hunters,as seen in the flashbacks of Spas, where she seemingly cemented his murderous mentality towards Twilights in her preteen years.She would later interview Minimi for his introduction into the Destroyers and later promise him that whatever reward money he earns immediately goes to his family,earning his loyalty.Later it was shown that she was introduced to Baretta and Striker,having become something akin to a Elder Sister like figure to them. Later on she assisted Spas in stitching up his wounds and later received a promise from him to help her exterminate all twilights.

CURSED :
Maverick is first seen with the rest of the Destroyers when they enter Ergastulum and later seen executing a small twilight family. She then reunites with her group and tells Spas not to worry about Striker and Beretta before cleaning his cheek of blood and remembering his promise before sending him to kill a group of twilights and having Minimi kill a twilight that was cut in half. Later she meets up with Spas again and kills a normal that he wouldn't kill and reminding him to focus on the mission before sending him to kill the normals' twilight family as Beretta appears saying she got separated from Striker which Maverick sees as no concern aside that Beretta is supposed to be Strikers "Babysitter". They are then attacked by twilights from the Guild but Minimi blocks their bullets.

After killing the mercenaries Maverick allows Beretta to go looking for Striker. The remain Destroyers then go searching for more twilights but are quickly attacked Eva, Chester, Bruno, Sandra, and Keith. Promising to meet up with her comrades later she leaps to the rooftops to engage Bruno and Sandra. During the fight despite being outnumbered and stunned by Sandras' stun gloves Maverick is able to kill their reinforcements almost immediately after they arrive, wound Bruno, and Mortally wound Sandra causing Bruno to retreat with Sandra in his arms. Maverick immediately attempted to track them down by following their scents,however upon noticing another group of Paulklee Mercenaries,she instead opted to kill them instead.

Later she encounters Constances' parents and their friends and kills them in front of Constance just before Spas shows up disillusioned and terrified of the fact he has been killing twilights under the false claim they were monsters. Telling Spas to wait for a bit before she gets ready to kill Constance she is stopped by Spas who grabs her arm and tells of his fears of them being the monsters of the situation. Maverick proceeds to promise to kill the ones who told him "these lies" before being attacked by Bruno locks her in a hold. Recognizing her foe Maverick taunts Bruno asking if Sandra died properly to which he responds by threatening her own friends with a similar fate before pushing her to unbalance her and rushing Spas who is still in a state of shock. Bruno however is stopped dead in his tracks, when he is stabbed in the neck by Minimi who arrives in the nick of time. While Bruno is weak and distracted by a vulnerable Constance Maverick decapitates Bruno and questions Spas on why he hesitated saying that they are to hate and destroy all twilights before having torch the area. She again prepares to decapitate Constance but is stopped by Spas when he uses his wires to stop her sword to the shock of everyone saying that they look like monsters, she then responds with her thoughts that she could trust him to fight beside her and that it's a shame that he isn't needed anymore and attack him with the full intention to kill him,Spas then takes Constance and attempts to escape, Maverick However orders Minimi to do kill them and immediately does so and attempts to burn them both alive, However despite this Spas successfully manages to escape,much to Maverick anger and disappointment, she then proceeded to brand Spas as a traitor and no longer a member of the Second Destroyers and tells Minimi that he was to be immediately disposed off.

Later she accompanies Minimi and together begin massacring hordes of Twilight civilians,with Maverick seemingly becoming more and more mentally unstable as the battle rages on and begins having full blown hallucinations of "Abel" and having full conversation with him cheerfully,later she happily tells "Abel" that everyone was doing so well in "Cleaning up" before eventually her mind wanders back to Spas and his changing views on Twilights,just as Neko,Jared,Lien and Arnold confront the two Hunters and they begin battling the duo, where Maverick engages Lien in battle, during of which the Mercenary was perplexed on who Maverick was talking too, this in turn greatly confused Maverick as "Abel" was so close to them, before manically saying on how "strange" twilights where and her desire to slaughter them all and begins to laugh manically, causing the Mercenary to deem the Second Destroyers to be an insane group.

Later Maverick hears "Abel" calling her and begins wandering off from the battle much to Minimi confusion, Maverick happily tells him that "Abel" wants to bring her to where Spas is,Realizing it was useless to try and dissuade her, Minimi relented and begins to scatter the four Twilights to prevent them from following her. Later upon following Spas scent, Maverick locates Helen and Lazarus, who she then attempts to kill, However Lazarus manages to attack her by surprise after she tried to bifurcate Helen and temporarily overwhelms her and manages to pin her to the ground and take her sword, Angered by this Maverick brutally kicked him and recalim her sword,She then proceeded to brutalize Lazarus by cutting off his leg and slashing him across his face,later Lazarus spitefully told Maverick that Spas has already begin doubting himself and the Destroyers, angering her and causing her to decapitate him,As she stands their covered in blood and seeing Helen's horrified face,Maverick begins to manically laugh and seemingly rejoice on having them share her and Abel's "Fate", However later upon seeing Helen smiling upon remembering all the good memories of Lazarus and staying strong despite the horrifying events happening before her, Maverick's maniacal happiness was cut short and she then proceeded to brutally decapitate Helen in anger, later Maverick was seen staring angrily upon their corpses and mumbling on how disgusting and revolting the "Monsters" where. After this Maverick proceeded to leave the scene with Helen and Lazarus's severed heads in hand,as she resumes her search for Spas.

Later Spas finally managed to catch up to Maverick who then proceeded to flaunt Lazarus and Helen's severed heads, Angering Spas, the two then proceeded to fight each other brutally, with Maverick attempting to sway Spas back into thinking Twilights where only monsters needed to be killed and angrily told him that this (severed heads) have deceived him and even went as far as using them as meat shields to Spas's wire attacks, sickening him.

Later upon exhausting Spas in battle,Maverick notices the flares shoot into the sky,signaling that it was time for the Destroyers to pull out from the city, she was then halted by Spas who said that they haven't reached a mutual understanding yet. Undeterred by her beliefs, Maverick attempted to sway him one last time by peacefully holding his head in her hands and telling him that he was too kind and that she would "save" him just as Abel saved her, However despite this Spas did not relent, angering her and making her finally realize that he would never change his mind again, causing Maverick to then swing her sword in anger and finally kill Spas.

However before she could strike down Spas, she loses her dominant attacking arm to his wires, despite this she still continued to attack screaming at him not to lump her in with the "Twilight Monsters", Spas desperately tries to get her stop, chopping off her right foot, with this she finally begins to apologize,But not to Spas, But to"Abel" with her saying to "Him" not to worry because she will continue to kill Twilights and show "Him" their mangled mutilated bodies, this finally causes Spas to kill her,cutting off a portion of her head and her torso into two, in her final moments,Maverick remembered her happy days with Abel and saying his name before dying.

GANGSTA :
