Mae rose out of bed at the crack of dawn to get started with her day. Today's apparel was a beautiful gown of black fabric and golden threading chasing the darkness out with intricate designs of flowers upon the neckline and up and down both of her sleeves. Her hair, she pinned up in its usual hairstyle of a bun, and was careful as she slipped a dagger into her hair that acted as a pin to hold her hair in place. Very few knew of the existence of the pin's true nature- but when up against the girls in the Gilded Rose, she needed to be on her guard. Waking at dawn had its uses, here she was able to go down into the kitchens to make sure the morning meal was being prepped to the satisfaction of the Gilded Rose and what she could serve. Her heels clicked upon the floorboards as she descended into the kitchens and was met with a smile from the chef, a cup of tea was pressed into her hands and was made to sit at a small table. Shortly, some toast and porridge were brought before her. Mae ate and took her tea with her as she went to find Mr. Hamilton in his office. Slowly, Mae had begun having more intense feelings toward Elijah, her boss, but also the man she had begun to fall in love with. Love was an unknown feeling to her, as she had often thought others had loved her but was most certainly wrong. Mae's chest fluttered ever so slightly as she found herself racing toward Elijah's study and office. For some reason, Mae found herself extremely nervous as she held the extra teacup in her hand. A maid followed close behind her as she found herself in front of the door. A fist rose up to knock and then let herself in, the maid following closely behind putting the teapot down on the lower table where the tray lay. Mae set both of the teacups down and closed the door behind the maid. "Good morning, Mr. Hamilton. I took the time this morning to bring up some tea for the two of us. I also sent for some crumpets and some toast to be brought up if that is what you wish." Her voice was calm and steady as she addressed him, but made sure to wait an extra couple of moments to make sure no one was near the doors before pouring him a cup of tea and bringing it to him. "Some tea."

Mae wears heels to give her three extra inches onto her five foot three inches she grew into.

.:Birthplace:.China .:Family:.Mother and Father Unknown. Adoptive Mother: Jia Chen. .:Occupation:.Right Hand at Gilded Rose .:History:.Born in China, Mae Li was the unwanted daughter of an impoverished mother and father. She never got to know her parents since she was given a name and sold to a trader that was bound for England. Once arriving in London she was given over to the care of Jia Chen, a kitchen assistant in a Chinese merchant’s household. The household was a rough one to grow up in, Mae was the companion to the merchant’s daughter Ai. While being a companion to Ai, Mae learned English as well as speaking Chinese.
Ai and Mae grew up together until they were the age of seven. Ai was sent off to another Chinese house to go to school everyday when Mae was put to work in the kitchen as a scullery maid. Mae instantly saw this change as a betrayal and acted out one day by slipping salt into one of the family’s dishes. Unfortunately for her, she was caught and the family was plagued by a sour meal. For punishment she was rejected from playing with Ai. Up until this moment the two girls were still able to play together each night right before Ai would go to sleep. Mae kept her head down and continued being a scullery maid for many years. She eventually moved up to being a cooking assistant.
Jia, the woman who Mae had been passed off to when she arrived in London, was the woman who became her mother. Having never met her biological mother, Jia has taken care of Mae the best she could in the position she was in. Every night she would make sure Mei was cleaned before going to bed each night so she was a decent companion for the boss’s daughter. Their relationship over the years has been both of hardship and loving. With the two being cooking assistants together, Jia began to show Mae how to cook traditional Chinese dishes. The two spoke only Chinese to each other in the kitchen, which gave Mae a sense of home being in the kitchen.
At the age of eighteen, Mae left the family she had been working for most of her life to find work elsewhere. She was not on the streets of London long before she was seen as an exotic woman that men wanted to possess and use. She spent many months being chased and abused before finding sanctuary at the Gilded Rose under Elijah Hamilton. Under Elijah Hamilton Mae was able to feel safe and began to put her foot forward to helping Mr. Hamilton run the Gilded Rose. Mae quickly fell into her position very well and has become hated by the other women at the Gilded Rose for being in a favorable position for so long. She has been in this position for the last ten years, and she doesn’t plan on giving it up anytime soon.
Mae has been romantically interested in Elijah for as long as she can remember. It did not begin as soon as started at the club, but well into the years of her becoming his right hand. The two of them have been romantically involved on and off for a few years now. She hopes she can continue being the favorite and his right hand, but also potentially win his heart.
