Personality: Maxime Beaucage is a headstrong and principled individual, shaped by years of isolation, labour, and cultural pride. She’s often seen as stoic and guarded, choosing her words carefully and speaking with a matter-of-fact bluntness that can seem cold to those unfamiliar with her. However, beneath that exterior is a woman who feels deeply and cares intensely for her land, her culture, and the fragile sense of community in the Red River Territory. Her independence has led her to develop a strong moral compass and a black-and-white sense of right and wrong, which can sometimes cause conflict when others don't meet her standards. She values honesty, responsibility, and humility, and she has little tolerance for laziness or ignorance—particularly when it comes to survival or tradition. Maxime finds comfort in routines and rituals, especially those tied to her Catholic faith and Métis customs, using them as anchors in a time of change. Despite being socially stiff and quick to dismiss idle talk, Maxime is capable of deep loyalty and care. When she lets someone in, she treats them like kin—offering food from her table, working shoulder to shoulder in silence, or defending them fiercely if threatened. She prefers actions over words and has a quiet protectiveness that rarely needs explaining.

Background: Maxime was born in 1845 in the Red River Territory to a French-Canadian wolf father named Henri Beaucage and a Cree wolf mother named Asiniy. Her parents had met during the waning years of the fur trade and decided to leave the itinerant life behind to build a modest homestead near the forks of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. Life was never easy, but it was full of meaning. Her mother taught her to trap and forage, to sew moccasins, bead, and gather medicines from the land, while her father taught her to till soil, read maps, and speak French as well as English. They both shared stories, faith, and hard-earned wisdom. She grew up immersed in the dual traditions of her heritage, attending seasonal gatherings with other Métis families, travelling occasionally with her parents on trading ventures, and participating in Catholic ceremonies held in rough-hewn mission chapels. However, formal schooling was limited to a few years with a travelling priest-teacher who passed through the settlement. When she turned 19, Maxime left her parents' home and claimed a small tract of land further upriver, where she built her own cabin, cleared the land for crops, and raised chickens and goats. The choice was an act of independence. She knew that solitude would be hard—but she also knew it would be hers. As the years passed, she found herself increasingly aware of the political changes pressing in from the east. The transfer of Rupert’s Land to Canada filled her with dread, especially as she heard stories of Anglo-Canadian settlers with no understanding or respect for the land or its people. Though she had never seen herself as a fighter, Maxime quietly aligned herself with the goals of the National Committee of the Métis and followed Louis Riel’s efforts with cautious hope.

Backstory: Though Maxime carved out a life of self-reliance, her solitude wasn’t without cost. Winters were especially harsh—when the snow pressed heavy against the cabin walls and the wind howled through the rafters like lost spirits. Some nights, she would sit by the fire and read the same few pages of her tattered Bible just to hear something familiar, comforting. She endured blizzards that froze her water barrels solid, years of poor harvests, and the aching loss of both parents within the span of three years. Her father succumbed to a fever that no prayer or poultice could cure, and her mother followed the next spring, never recovering from the heartbreak. Maxime buried them with her own hands under the old cottonwood by the river and planted wildflowers over the graves. Since then, she’s taken to speaking aloud to them in moments of stress or doubt. As political tensions rose in the Red River Colony, Maxime found herself torn between her quiet life and the urgency of change. She didn’t seek leadership or the spotlight, but she did begin to attend the occasional meeting, listening closely. She respected Louis Riel’s eloquence and clarity, and though she kept her doubts private, she sometimes writes notes about the meetings in a leather-bound journal her mother once used for herbal remedies, as if chronicling the struggle might give it permanence. Friends and Acquaintances:

• Thomas Moostoos – A young Cree-Métis trapper who trades pelts and supplies with Maxime. He is optimistic, funny, and occasionally reckless**, traits that irritate Maxime but also charm her in moments of levity. Though he’s much younger, **he respects Maxime’s knowledge deeply and often seeks her advice when he's unsure about political events or survival methods.
• Father Brousseau – A travelling French-Canadian Jesuit priest who has known Maxime since an early age. He baptized her and taught her the basics of reading and writing. Though they occasionally argue about colonial politics, Father Brousseau respects Maxime’s faith and moral fibre. She sees him as one of the few outsiders who genuinely tries to understand the Métis way of life.
• Benoît Ducharme – A former suitor and local farmer who still tries to visit from time to time. Maxime turned down his marriage proposal years ago but remains on civil—if slightly awkward—terms with him. Benoît is well-meaning but overly proud and not particularly thoughtful, which led Maxime to lose interest despite pressure from neighbours to settle down. Hobbies: Herbal Foraging: Maxime knows the land intimately and often gathers plants for both sustenance and medicine. She keeps dried roots, teas, and poultices in clearly labelled jars in her root cellar. Beading and Sewing: Though not flashy, Maxime’s beadwork is intricate and steeped in meaning, often incorporating traditional Métis motifs. She sometimes gifts her beadwork to people in her community. Religious Devotion: Maxime observes Catholic rituals devoutly, lighting candles and saying rosaries each evening. She also blends Catholic prayers with traditional songs or smudging, a quiet act of cultural resistance. Writing and Sketching: Though not a trained writer, Maxime often records events, dreams, or observations in her journal. She includes hand-drawn maps, diagrams of trapping techniques, and even short prayers in French or Cree syllabics. Quirks: Maxime is intensely superstitious about omens from nature—hawks circling, foxes crossing her path, frost patterns on the windows. She believes these signs carry meaning and adjusts her plans accordingly. Despite her toughness, she has a soft spot for music boxes and owns a small broken one from her early years that she still tries to fix in her spare time. She is meticulous about sharpening tools—axes, knives, saws—and feels uneasy if any are left dull or out of place, treating them almost like sacred objects. Motivations: Maxime’s core drive is preservation of her people, her culture, and the land that has shaped her. She believes in the resilience of the Métis but worries that without formal recognition or protection, their traditions will be swallowed by incoming laws, settlers, and institutions. She is not eager for conflict, but she sees resistance as a duty. Her faith reinforces this: she views the defence of her homeland as a moral obligation, a form of stewardship given to her by God and ancestors alike. On a more personal level, Maxime also seeks belonging, a sense of community and kinship that she sometimes feels slipping away in the face of political upheaval and creeping isolation. She is trying to figure out whether she can still be part of something greater, without losing who she is.
