Maurine is very passionate about her work as a playwright, she deeply admires the endless creativity humans are capable of. She's  known for creating grim stories that deviate from the usual storytelling. Maurine's way of telling stories isn't very popular amongst the public so she barely makes a living from it. 

She wouldn't have it any other way though, she wouldn't give up her dream job for nothing. 

She's extremely prideful about her talent and skills, believing her work to be above everyone else's because it's true to herself. She stands firm on the stories she wants to bring to life and doesn't censor or adjust her work for anyone. 

Maurine dislikes movies and tv shows and think they are a waste of time because they are made with the general public in mind, the only time she'll ever watch them is to bash on how bad they are. She does have respect for the talent involved but wishes the freedom shouldn't be restricted by the higher-ups who only want money. The only things she is even willing to give a shot are indie, even then her taste is extremely picky. Time is very precious to Maurine so during dull moments she loves to try out new things nobody has ever done before and do zany antics in order to pass the time, regardless of the rules or formalities.

While she has a huge ego surrounding her work, as an actual person she is an easy-going extrovert who is quick to make friends. Despite her harsh words, she's kind and caring. She knows she's brutally honest and speaks without a filter most of the time but at the same time she doesn't want to be fake either.
