Contents

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 used different looks and personalities for different marks back when she was on the grift.[23]

Interesting Facts

  • Mavis has a World Card.[24]
  • 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.[25]
  • Mavis said sex is supposed to be fun; and now and again, if you're lucky, it gets to be special.[26]
  • Mavis gave Eve a pair of virtual reality goggles for Christmas (possibly, December 2057).[27]
  • 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.[28]
    • 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).[29]
    • 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.)[30]
    • Mavis had a new song coming out as a follow-up for her new video at the end of March, 2059.[31]
  • Mavis had been seeing a performance artist with a pet monkey in Glory in Death[33] and later, on her night off, she and Eve went to Armageddon.[34]
  • The Rolling Stones are Mavis's favorite classic artists.[35]
  • Mavis and Leonardo knew Morris and Amaryllis Coltraine slightly. They ran into each other at a club one night and sat down together.[36]
  • Leonardo calls Mavis "my dove," "babydoll," "turtledove," "little dove."[37]
