Maeve is a tall, physically fit woman with long, curly blonde hair and blue eyes. Her outfit is remarkably similar to the female [[Warrior]]s from {{DQ3}}. She wears a metal bikini top, a fauld, a horned helmet, pauldrons, gloves, boots, and carries a round shield, all in pink. Around her waist, she wears a blue belt with purple cloth attached like a skirt, and she also wears black sleeves and socks. She carries a sword in a scabbard at the left side of her waist.

In her monstrous form, Maeve is a large skeleton and keeps her horned helmet, shield, boots, gloves, and waistguard. She now wears a blue breastplate with pauldrons and a long, tattered pink cape with purple lining attached to the shoulders. Her sword becomes larger and more deadly.


==History==
==History==
Matilda is the sister of Rex, for whom the town of Rexwood is named. When she was young, monsters attacked the town. As an able warrior, he decided to fight back against the monsters. The plan was that he would be the first in a wave of attacks from the village. However, when the time came to fight, none of the villagers could summon their courage to help Rex. Because of this, Rex continued fighting the monsters, waiting for reinforcements that never came. When the monsters were defeated, Rex returned bloodied and died soon after. Matilda, fueled by grief and told by an evil voice, grew bitter at the villagers' cowardice. She began to resent them and then turned into a monster.
Maeve is the sister of Molloy, for whom the town of [[Ballymolloy]] is named. When she was young, {{MFamilies}}s attacked the town. As an able warrior, Molloy decided to fight back against the {{MFamilies}}s. He gave his sister a wooden doll that he had carved. The plan was that Molloy would be the first in a wave of attacks from the village. However, when the time came to fight, none of the villagers could summon their courage to help Molloy. Because of this, Molloy continued fighting the {{MFamilies}}s, waiting for reinforcements that never came. When the {{MFamilies}}s were defeated, Molloy returned bloodied and died soon after. Maeve, fueled by grief and driven by a mysterious evil voice, grew bitter at the villagers' cowardice. She began to resent them and was turned into a monster resembling a [[Fright knight]].
 
Sometime before the {{Party 7}} arrives in [[Ballymolloy]], Maeve steals all the women and orders the villagers to destroy their town or they would never see the women again. [[Hanlon]] tries to bring the women back but is gravely injured. Maeve, seeing Patrick, [[Hanlon]]'s son, elects to bring the fallen warrior back to [[Ballymolloy]].
 
==Appearances==
==={{DQ7}}===
Maeve first meets the {{Party 7}} in the Oddwoods outside of [[Ballymolloy]]. She offers weeds to some nearby graves because she had no flowers to offer. {{Maribel}} gives her some flower seeds and, moved by her kindness, Maeve escorts them to the town, but slips away quietly just as they enter the settlement.


Sometime before the party arrives in Rexwood, Matilda steals all the women and orders them to destroy their town or they would never see the women again. [[Hank]] tries to bring the women back but is defeated. Matilda, seeing Patrick, Hank's son, elects to bring the fallen warrior back to Rexwood.
She meets them again at the entrance to [[Rainbow Mines]]. The {{Party 7}} tells her why they have come to the mine and asks her to help them find a green gem. She declines to help them. However, as soon as the {{Party 7}} finds a green gem, Maeve returns and helps the {{Party 7}} obtain a piece of it. At the same time, gives them a [[wooden doll]]. She says that it is a memento of her brother, but she doesn't need it anymore.
 
She is last seen in [[The Tower]] where she reveals her true form after defeating the [[Crabble-rouser]]. After defeating the crab, the {{Party 7}} is shocked to find out that Maeve is actually the leader of the {{MFamilies}}s. Maeve lands the finishing blow on the {{MFamilies}} and confirms [[Hanlon]]'s suspicions. She tells them that only her death will bring back the women of [[Ballymolloy]]. The {{Party 7}} defeats her. The {{Party 7}} will have two choices: they can let [[Hanlon]] slay her or protect her from [[Hanlon]]. Either way, she will inform the {{Party 7}} on how to return to their own time. After conveying that information, she uses the last of her strength to lift the darkness from [[Ballymolloy]].
 
====As a temporary party member====
Maeve joins the {{Party 7}} temporarily. Her regular attack does 30 {{HP}}. Her [[Dragon Slash]] does the same amount of damage due to the lack of Dragon type {{MFamilies}}s in [[Ballymolloy]]. She can also use [[Lightning Slash]] which does 40 HP. Finally, she can use [[Heal]] which can heal one party member 30 HP.
 
====As a boss====
The {{Party 7}} fights Maeve in the [[Tower]]. She has about 250 {{HP}}. However, she does not attack at all. Maeve will either defend, use [[Defending Champion]] which causes all attacks to do 1-2 HP damage, or simply watch. The {{Party 7}} should attack without fear of reprisal. After several turns, Maeve will be defeated. The battle can also come to an end early if a character uses the wooden doll on her.

==Synopsis==
==={{DQ7R}}===
She first meets the party at the forest outside of [[Rexwood]]. She offers weeds to some nearby graves because she had no flowers to offer. [[Maribel]] gives her some flower seeds and, moved by her kindness, Matilda escorts them to the town, but slips away quietly just as they arrive.
====Ending alterations====
Before heading to the tower, the player is asked by Patrick to hand over Maeve's wooden doll. If the player gives the lad the carving then the conclusion of the Ballymolloy scenario will change, with Patrick rallying up the villagers to back up the party. Maeve will see that the villagers have changed their ways and will be a much less difficult fight, though she must still be slain to free the captured women.

==Etymology==
Maeve is the Anglicized form of the Celtic name "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medb Medb]", which means 'intoxicating' or 'she who intoxicates'. In Irish legends, Medb is the name of a warrior queen of Connacht, the western province of Ireland. She is best known for her role in the famous Ulster Cycle. In the original Japanese game and the {{PSX}} Version, her name is [[Matilda]], which comes from the Germanic name ''Mahthildis'' which means strength in battle. Both names are indicative of her status as a female warrior and her role in the story of [[Ballymolloy]]. Matilda is later used as a default name for the [[Princess of Cannock]] in ''[[Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake]]''
