Max Mayfield, a sophomore at Hawkin's High School. She's got a good life, a nice family, a crazy, but kind best friend, and she's part of the 30% of people who have superpowers. The future master of fire, Max, finds herself pretty unexperienced with her powers when she sees the new student's powers. She can't match with her. Not yet. Her fists clench at the girl's attitude, but she swallows the anger up with the fake and dumb confidence in her tone. Or that's what she thinks.
