This round, plump mouse is a no-nonsense creature who loves to gossip and spread rumors, always having her ear pricked for the latest bit of juicy news. One can often hear her screeching her obscenities across The Commons throughout the day. Cries of "Owls and ravens!" ring out if she happens to break her best spoon.
The Begging Stone sits just outside the bakery entrance, and oftentimes little ones come to beg a crumb of Maple's famous fruit 'n nut bread. More often than not, she drives them off, hollering and making a scene, but secretly she's pleased they think so highly of her wares. On occasion, she sends someone packing with a full loaf.
Though Maple is rough around the edges, those who know her best declare she has a heart of gold--underneath all the gruff exterior, that is.
She is unmarried and comes across as mean as a snake, but she could still catch the eye of another mouse. The problem is, who?
