Maven spent her early years training for the Olympics. At the tender age of 27, she was shot and killed. She then was brought back from the dead by a magical squirrel named Billy. Her ghost now searches the forums of Plime to seek the ways of the Plimate. When she achieves the status of UBERPLIMATE, she shall ascend to heaven and be seated by the right hand of the Father, cleaning His nails. I keep fishes in boxes. I also run an aquarium board.I locate suitable caretakers for lost and abandoned baked goods. To volunteer: http://www.plime.com/f/4888/#q9
