Introduction

  • First appears in Naked in Death on February 14, 2058.[3]

Descriptions

  • She has an impossibly tiny waist, a brilliant smile, and a busty little body.[4] Mavis has an appealing screech of a singing voice. Eve Dallas thought she wasn't half bad; not half good either.[5]
  • A slim, exuberant woman with generous breasts who prefers jewel colors[6] (she has perfect round, classy breasts).[7]
  • Slim as a fairy and, for a small woman, she was amazingly strong;[8] somewhere between a waif and an amazon.
  • Tiny with rosy pale skin; she is a bundle of color and cheer who tended to bounce.[9]

Personality

  • "It's like my mission to bubble things up."[10]
  • When Mavis was singing at the Blue Squirrel, she said she wasn't quitting because she was hooked on the applause and because she renegotiated her contract so she'd receive ten percent of the gate.[11]

Bella Eve

History

  • Old address: 28 Avenue C[13]
  • Mavis said that she never finished school and that she ran away from home at the age of fourteen. She said that she wasn't even worth looking for.[14]
  • After Mavis was arrested for suspicion in Pandora's homicide, the management of the Blue Squirrel let her go.[15]
  • In Immortal in Death, Eve said, "Mavis, I love you. Maybe I haven't told you that before, but I do."[16]
    • "I have to ask you to trust me to take care of you. ... I have to ask you to remember you're my closest friend, and that I love you."[17]

Criminal History

  • Eight years before (c. 2050), Eve busted Mavis for petty theft. In the intervening years, they'd somehow become friends.[18]
  • According to Eve, Mavis "ran a mystic grift before [Eve] busted her for pinching wallets."[19]
  • Mavis said she ran a con once as a spirit guide. She was 'Ariel', reincarnation of a fairy queen.[20]
  • When asked about the longest con she ever ran, Mavis said she ran a Carlotta (named after an old friend that might now be on Vegas II) for about four months as Carlottas take a lot of foundation and seeding.[21] Mavis also mentioned the Crosstown Bob, Hail Mary, Praise the Lord, Kosher, and Redemption.[22]

Mavis's Outfits/Appearance

Mavis is, literally, one of the most colorful characters in the series. Here are some examples of Mavis's outfits:

Naked in Death

  • Silver hair, silver-tipped eyelashes, emerald nails, green shadowed eyes, a puff of scent, lots of bracelets, and shoulder length crystals at her ears.[23]
  • For her show at the Blue Squirrel, she wore body paint. Her body was a canvas for splatters and streaks of orange and violet, with strategically brushed splotches of emerald. She also wore bracelets and chains.[24]
  • When she was sick, she had unpainted lashes.[25]

Glory in Death

  • Her eyes were green and her hair was a stunning emerald green, and she continued the theme with the single swatch of glistening sapphire material she had somehow draped over herself to cover one generous breast and her crotch. Her other breast was decorated with shimmering stones, with a strategically placed silver star over the nipple. Her heart-shaped butt was similarly decorated on each slim cheek. She wore glitter on her face.[26]
  • Her hair was a glittery gold fashioned in what was called a half-swing. One glistening side curved to her ear while the other half skimmed her shoulder. She wore only, perhaps, a half dozen earrings - and all in her ears; she had a transparent cloak that was strung with tiny lights and wore a skin-hugging red body suit. She had inch-long (2.54 cm) lashes, a tattoo of interlinking hearts on the back of her hand, and walked on six-inch (15.24 cm) inflatable platforms (air glided).[27]
  • At the cocktail party to kick off the fundraiser for the Art Institute on Station Grimaldi, Mavis was dressed conservatively, which meant a great deal of her skin was actually covered and her hair was a tame medium red. Being Mavis, so were her irises.[28]

Immortal in Death

  • White and gold rompers, 3 inch (7.62 cm) air platforms, curly white-streaked black hair, a winged heart tattoo on bicep, lips painted magenta, and gold-tipped fingers.[29]
  • A bright blue drape.[30]
  • A bright sapphire skinsuit and hair dyed to match; tricolored nails.[31]
  • A trio of earrings in her left lobe and the same bright blue hair.[32]
  • Dressed in what only she would consider "at-home wear": a red skin suit studded with silver stars and covered with a sheer emerald sweep shirt left loose and open; and six-inch ice-pick heels; sapphire hair.[33]
  • Trina offers to dye her hair bordello pink with silver tipping.[34]
  • Silver-tipped hair.[35]

Vengeance in Death

  • Pink leather and green feathers, four-inch heels, lavender hair

Portrait in Death

  • She wore neon gel sandals and her hair was summer blonde today; a conservative color until you got down to the pink and blue tips, and noted those curling tips were topped by tiny silver bells that rang cheerfully with every movement. The sunsuit was short and backless with a complex series of crisscrossing strips of that same pink and blue over each breasts, to a bare midriff and a pair of micro-shorts.[36]

Strangers in Death

  • She had an explosion of lavender hair with lavender bangs spiking over her eyes.[37]

Salvation in Death

  • Her hair was currently a sunburst the color of spring leaves; her eyes were the same improbable green as her hair.[38]

Promises in Death

  • Her hair was an artful tangle of pink-tipped curls and she wore towering, triangular-shaped heels covered with rainbow zigzags. She wore a green-and-pink diamond pattern on her microskirt and had eyes the same sharp green color as her skirt.[39]
  • She was dressed in full party gear of a bride-white mini and knee-high skin-boots of screaming red. Her hair, the same screaming red as the boots, bounced as it tumbled to her waist.[40]
  • She wore a polka-dot tank and striped pants; Bella wore matching sleepwear.[41]

Interesting Facts

  • Mavis has a World Card.[42]
  • When Mavis was sick, she said it was a conspiracy. "We've wiped out just about every known plague, disease, and infection. Oh, we come up with a new one every now and again, to give the researchers something to do. But none of these bright-eyed medical types, none of the medi-computers can figure out how to cure the common ... cold ... Because the pharmaceutical companies need to sell drugs." She said you can get anticancer injections cheaper than a sinus tab.[43]
  • Mavis said sex is supposed to be fun; and now and again, if you're lucky, it gets to be special.[44]
  • Mavis gave Eve a pair of virtual reality goggles for Christmas (possibly, December 2057).[45]
  • Mavis writes her own music (the amount of which is unknown) and said she had a shot at a recording contract in Glory in Death.[46]
    • When Mavis asked Eve if she was going to meet Roarke, Mavis said she'd have to do her last number again (the one that she wrote).[47]
    • In Glory in Death (c. June 2, 2058), Roarke told Eve that he had agreed to sit through two sets at the Blue Squirrel with the idea of helping Mavis into a recording contract. "And no one - no one with ears - would consider that singing of any kind." (Eve agreed, as a trade-off, to accompany Roarke to the opera.)[48]
    • Mavis had a new song coming out as a follow-up for her new video at the end of March, 2059.[49]
  • Mavis had been seeing a performance artist with a pet monkey in Glory in Death[51] and later, on her night off, she and Eve went to Armageddon.[52]
  • The Rolling Stones are Mavis's favorite classic artists.[53]
  • Mavis and Leonardo knew Morris and Amaryllis Coltraine slightly. They ran into each other at a club one night and sat down together.[54]
  • Leonardo calls Mavis "my dove," "babydoll," "turtledove," "little dove."[55]
