Maxine was raised as a single child by her single mother, her father was a deadbeat, or that's what she would hear her grandmother scream about him to Maxine’s mother. She would always do her best to keep a smile around her, but Max could always see the sadness in her mothers expression. Maxine and her mother didn’t have a lot of money, barely enough to get by, but they made the best of it. Max did her best in school to make her mother happy, she did everything she could to make her mother happy. It didn’t take long for her to know what she wanted to do with her life, become a police officer and help people. At the time, it seemed like something a kid of her age would want, to be a cop, a doctor, or an astronaut. But Max wasn’t every other kid, she was a kid who didn’t have fancy clothes, nice toys, or new shoes, she already knew how cruel the world was, and she wanted to make it a better place.

Highschool graduation came in the blink of an eye, and before she knew it, Max was an adult. She sent in her enrollment papers to the Vice City Police Academy, hoping for the best. She had worked her entire high school career on her grades and extracurricular activities, any college would be begging to accept her. A few weeks later a letter arrived in the mail, an acceptance letter. She was to start her classes the following month, something Max and her mother had celebrated by going out to dinner. The two treated themselves, ending their night on a cliff overlooking the city. The two sat silently for a bit before Max’s mother began to cry softly to herself. Max asked her what was wrong and her mother said it was nothing, that she was just so proud of the woman Max had become, and was happy to see her on this path for her life. Max knew what she met and hugged her mother tight, despite having next to nothing, no father, the two had done their best, and made each other's lives better.

Maxine would start police academy on a bad foot. She was late for her first class because she had missed the bus, something her instructor laid into her for. Next was her mediocre physical abilities, despite being highly regarded for her academics, her agility and strength lacked heavily. Despite the setbacks however, Max pulled through and graduated as one of the top cadets in the academy. She joined the Vice City Police Department as a probationary officer the following year. She would be assigned a partner, Henry Oswald. Henry was a police veteran, serving as an officer in the Los Santos Police Department for a few years before being promoted into a Detective where he served proudly for 15 years before retiring to Vice City. However, the badge called and he would be a fool if he didn’t listen. The two would form a pseudo father-daughter relationship, growing almost inseparable. Being a police officer would help Max get her own place, and Henry would help her support her mother. They would have cookouts every other weekend, Henry would tell Max and her mother stories of his time as a detective in Los Santos.

Eventually Max would be promoted to Detective with Henry, and the two would have their first case, investigating a string of murders related to the Cubans, a notorious street gang in Vice City. The two having an amazing synergy made multiple arrests on the ground level, but they knew they would need to go higher up in the chain of command to bring the gang to an end. With permission from their Chief, the two were to go completely undercover. This would be the last time Max would see her mother for weeks, months, maybe even years. But she had Henry, and with that information she felt safe.

Max and Henry would integrate themselves into the gang without much problem, doing small things like helping shuttle drugs around the city, help knock over liquor stores, and some small time extortion of people for “protection” in their turf. The two would gather information on the gang and the leader, someone everyone called “El Loco” or “The Crazy Man” for the pure fact that he was clinically insane. The two spent months undercover before the night would come that “the big bust” would come. El loco was shipping in multiple shipping containers of cocaine from South America. The two contacted their Captain who set up a sting operation.

The night came, the two acted like nothing was about to happen, but upon opening the first container, it wasn’t filled with cocaine, but with Maxine’s mother and Henry’s son. Suddenly the two had guns at the back of their head, as the swat team started to roll in onto the docks. El loco had known from the start the two were rats, being tipped off from someone inside of the department. He gave the two a few moments to look onto the two inside the container before having his men pull the trigger. Max closed her eyes and heard the gunshot, but wasn’t dead. Henry dropped next to her, but the gunman who had her held up gun jammed. She quickly ducked and puller her piece, firing shots quickly at everything behind her. Hitting her gunman and the gunman who killed Henry. She ducked inside the container before getting into a shootout with el loco and some of the members of the Cubans. The swat team rolled in and not knowing Max was inside the container, opened fire from behind onto el loco. Bullets flew and ricocheted inside of the container, striking Max, her mother, and Henry’s son. Max would pass out from the loss of blood, the last thing before she passes out being her mother slumped on the ground.

Max would wake up a few weeks later, having no feeling in her legs. She screamed at the top of her lungs, the nurses rushing in and trying to calm her down before giving her a sedative. The Captain of the PD would come into her room shortly after, informing Max of what had happened. She and everyone inside the container was stuck with bullets due to the ricochet from shooting inside of the container. Max was stuck in her lower back, damaging her spinal cord. Her mother was stuck in the neck and bleed out on the scene. Henry was shot point blank in the back of the head and was killed instantly. His son survived, but was still in a medically induced coma. Max started to sob uncontrollably, knowing that she had failed in her mission to bring down the Cubans, and her Mother and pseudo Father were dead. She was given a medal to reflect her sacrifice during the line of duty serving as an officer in the VCPD, and given an early retirement plan.

The next few months were spent in rehab doing intensive physical therapy. Thankfully for Max the damage to her spinal cord wasn’t permanent, and she regained the ability to walk, and run short distances. In Between her sessions she would go and spend time with Johnathan, Henry’s son. He would need care long term due to his injuries, and now he would have to be shipped cross country to Los Santos to live with his mother as he recovered fully. After being signed off as recovered, Max would offer to help drive Johnathan the over 2700 miles to Los Santos. Despite the circumstances that brought them together, they formed a friendship on their trip. John was a lot like his father, quick, cunning, and knew when to make a joke at the perfect time. Max was filled with guilt, feeling that she was partially responsible for Henry’s death, and the death of her mother.

The two would arrive in LS, the two saying their goodbyes and going their separate ways. Maxine decides to stay in Los Santos and see what the city has to offer, because she has nothing left in Vice.

Maxine moved to LS and separated from Johnathan. She met numerous people and was immediately thrown into the criminal underworld by Tom Marino, a man who took her on a trip of house robbing. The two would then go to River City, where Tom introduced her to "The Franks" Frank and Franky. Max took a liking to The Franks and was offered a job by them, which shortly after she took and started to work at River City Customs mechanic shop. She worked there for a few weeks and met a lot of people, whom she is still friends with. During a trip to the VU, she also met someone named Titus, who was the leader of the gang known as the Aztecas. She would befriend Titus, and would join her on a fishing trip early in the morning one day where she would meet the love of her life, Danielle Thorne. Dani and Max would connect instantly and form an unbreakable bond, beginning to date each other the day after they met.
Max would then leave her job at River City to start a bar named The Sirens Song, who she started to co-own with Danielle, also forming a group called "The Sirens" to run. However, the group would dissolve when Max and Dani was offered a position in the Aztecas, who they had become close with, becoming "The Sirens of the Aztecas".

Danielle and Maxine would become prospects, where they have been for a while.

On the night of July 20, 2021, Maxine was fully blooded into the Aztecas with Danielle.

August 13, 2021, Maxine married the love of her life Danielle, taking her last name and becoming Maxine Thorne
