Physical Appearance[]
Maxine is a young adult light-skinned woman with blue eyes and very dark red hair. She commonly wears jackets and jeans.
Personality[]
Max and her brother, Jeff, were hired by Jane to dig up incriminating evidence on Michael Schmidt so that he would lose custody of his sister, Abby; she was hired as Abby's babysitter and would search their house while alone. It is implied she was not entirely comfortable with this plan, as she spends most of her meeting with Jane staring out the window, is shown to be nervous and hesitant when answering her brother's phone call, and reported to Jane about how Abby was a "nice kid." However, she still puts her well-being ahead of theirs, being the one to bring up Mike's new security job and thus the plan to ruin it. She may be materialistic or romantic, as she is shown fawning over the fantasy of someone buying her an expensive ring.
While at the Schmidt house, she is usually seen sitting on the couch, watching the television. She is able to at least appear trustworthy to Mike, who relies on her to watch Abby on several days and is upset when he cannot reach her by phone; he also had previously met her brother. She is friendly with him while interacting, asking him about his job and joking about his inability to pay her. She also is said to like Abby, though she can't get her to eat dinner.
Despite her underhanded deals with Jane, Max seems to be a caring person. She becomes worried when her brother and his friends take too long inside of Freddy's and goes in after them, then runs after a ghost child when she sees him in the building. This proved to be a fatal mistake which led to her being a victim of Freddy.
History[]
Maxine works for Mike Schmidt as a babysitter for his younger sister, although he states he is unable to pay her due to not having a sustainable job. Little does Mike know, she is secretly working for his Aunt Jane and searching for incriminating evidence to have Abby taken away and given to his Aunt. However, she is unable to find anything aside from the fact that Mike sleeps a lot. She still asks for payment for her work, which is denied.
Her brother works on a compromise, saying they will try and get Mike fired from his current job in exchange for $1,000 dollars. Aunt Jane agrees to the offer and he begins to stake out Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place for a time to strike. Upon Mike's departure from his second shift, Jeff and his gang, Hank and Carl, break into the pizzeria. Max waits in the truck outside for them, but after several minutes of waiting, decides to enter the pizzeria herself to see what's taking them so long.
Maxine enters and finds a child, who tells her to follow him. She follows his voice to Parts & Service, where she hears the child speaking from inside of the Freddy Fazbear suit. She approaches it, placing a stool so that she can peer inside the mouth. As she looks closer inside of the mouth, a hand suddenly reaches out and grabs her, pulling her inside of the suit. The suit clamps its jaw down and bites Maxine's body clean in half. Her death is shown through shadows on the wall.
On Mike's fifth shift, he finds Maxine's corpse inside of the Shadow Freddy suit.[1]
Trivia[]
- Kat Conner Sterling revealed that Maxine chased the kid because she was concerned, but the additional footage of her looking through the animatronic pile to ask if he was okay and that she won't hurt him were cut.
- Maxine also loved and encouraged Abby's drawings, such as with the cut line "She's getting real good you know... the drawings?"
- The line "It's okay... I know where you live." was originally "Stop. It's enough you get me away from that brother of mine." indicating the bad situation with her brother.

- In the novel, Bonesy is said to run away when Max opens the car door before she goes into the pizzeria.

- She also confirmed that Max "admired" the sibling relationship between Mike and Abby, and wished that she and her brother could have been that close.[4]
