MAGGOT

Maggot doesn't remember a single thing about their past before meeting Nova and Coin, and it doesn't really matter much to her to try and recall it. She's very happy with her current situation, and remembering things would just be a bother by now.

When Maggot was first found by Nova and Coin, she had fallen unconcious behind their home. The state she was in was horrendous, with a roughly torn ear, deep gashes on her arm as if something had tried to corkscrew the skin off, a deep cut in her lower torso that if it had gone any deeper would have likely been lethal, a similar deep gash on her upper thigh, and the worst looking one; an area of completely and roughly stripped skin on the hock of her leg, badly infected to the point that maggots were trying to eat at it.

The state she was in had completely shocked Coin and Nova, but especially Coin, who was surprised she had survived whatever did this to her long enough for her leg to even end up like that. How long had she just been wandering with these wounds? It was evident they were all trying to heal, but weren't able to without help. Coin would immediately drag her inside the house, and them and Nova would take care of her for the next few weeks, trying to heal the wounds. The disinfecting and stitching was easy enough, for the most part, they were pretty badly wounded, but Coin had the genius to fight it off. But even as they began to get better, it still would take a few more days before Maggot would finally wake back up. Confused about where she was, not vocally, but very visible on her face, Coin told her that they were in their house, and explained what had happened over the weeks she was unconcious. Whatever had injured the rest of her clearly fucked up her throat as well, and when she did try to speak it was very painful. But she managed to answer some of Coin's questions, not many, but two were easy enough. They couldn't remember their name, where they came from, or anything else, but she knew she was 32, and what city the three of them were in.

Maggot, with the approval of Nova and Coin, decided to stay and live with them, since she had nowhere else to go, and at the current moment, they were the only 2 she could trust. The two would have been fine with this regardless, but Coin also wanted her to stay so they could keep checking up on how she was healing in case there was any complications. There thankfully wasn't, and over the time Maggot stayed there, Coin and Nova would get almost as attached to her as she was getting to them. None of them ever officially asked Maggot to date them, but it simply sort of happened regardless, the three of them basically silently agreeing that she was one of them now. In the meantime, she'd also decided to finally give herself a new name, calling herself Maggot, both in some sort of strange honor of what she'd just survived, but also just liking the grimy vibe of the name.

Despite some initial attempts, Maggot's memory never really returned at all, it was seeming like it was simply gone forever. But Maggot didn't have a problem with it, enjoying Nova and Coin's company, the potential of accidentally remembering something that would ruin what they had was something Maggot didn't want to risk. What if she remembered having a husband or wife or something? Or god forbid kids. It seemed unlikely, and maybe she felt a little guilty for wanting to push that aside if it somehow did turn out to be the case, but she was enjoying herself too much to ever want to go back in time. She loved the club and she loved Coin and Nova.

Eventually Maggot would get bored of not being able to do anything to help the club, and wanted to help more. No one really knew what to do about it at first, but Nova would eventually notice Maggot seemingly having a knack for stopping troublesome patrons, and her and Coin would help them learn how to work as security for the club, and eventually after the former security head would quit, made Maggot the next head of security. Now they had a good coverage together, Maggot handling security, even if she'd get a little overzealous sometimes, Coin handling finances, and Nova having her ideas and golden tongue. Stuff was good

Maggot's since had a pretty regular life, regular enough for everything that's happened. Over the years her wounds never really healed perfectly, but with the state she'd been in, Coin had practically conducted a miracle, being able to fix her all by themself without going to a proper hospital. She doesn't mind too much, similar to how she enjoyed choosing her new name, she enjoyed how 'badass' the scars made her look. Even if she couldnt really remember how they happened, it had to be something bad, and she was proud to have survived it.

Maggot would have a few small bursts of memory over time as well, never anything concrete, but things that would suddenly spark emotions or random ideas. The biggest one being when she suddenly remembered that there was a big bounty hunting scene in the Sintane Galaxy, and when profits for the club were getting stagnant, suggested getting into it to Nova, who liked the idea and agreed. Maggot doesn't take any part in it beyond having suggested the idea, she doesn't know where the idea came from, and would rather not risk extreme danger again too closely, she's perfectly happy with her security job, and simply getting to hear about the adventures of these bounty hunters, mostly through Mary, is good enough for them. She's completely satisfied with her current life, she gets to wrestle people out of the building for a job, and she has two loving partners. Everything seems perfect!
