Yay! Last cheerleader! Though...now they all need updating to reflect the relationship start and ages and whatnot...here's the gist. Age 11, they all enter a Pen Pal Program offered through the CCT to promote unity through the kingdoms by uniting their youth. Age 13, they all go to Vale to see the Vytal festival and meet each other for the first time. They start spending their summer holidays together, switching who's house they live in each year. Age 16, they enter an exclusive romantic relationship (just the four of them, no flings with other people). Age 17, they all apply to Beacon together and team up. Now, on to Maple.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:#0047ab;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Background: Born in the heart of Vale, Maple found that trying to stand out from the crowd brought discrimination upon her, so instead she became a follower, always cheering the ones who stepped forward on in their endeavours. She got middling grades through school, her physical aptitude making up for her lackluster theoretical scores. When she was eleven, she entered in a pen pal program offered by the CCT, and was put in touch with Cinnamon, Honey and Vanilla. When the girls were all 13, they met for the first time at the Vytal festival which was being held in Vale, and started spending summer holidays together in each of the different kingdoms. They started their relationship as a group when they were 16. She brought up the idea for all four of the pen pals to come together and attend Beacon as a team, and the other girls jumped on it, all ending up spending the summer at her place in anticipation of Beacon’s start, getting their uniforms together and practising combination moves between the four of them.

She doesn’t believe in rushing through things, and figures that once something works it doesn’t need improvement, even if it’s not perfect. She tends to ignore most harmful remarks, though people accusing her of thievery will always rile her up and get her to lash out, as she wants to prove that not all raccoons are thieves. She drinks iced coffee in the mornings, and loves to lie in, even if she’s not actually sleeping.
