    Maggiemite's are a very unique breed of Pokégirl. She is a 'Tech' Pokégirl, but in fact is one that blurs the lines between the Tech and the normal. Maggiemites are nearly human in form, but can hardly be mistaken for human – their skin, a form of pliable, living flesh-like metal that solidifies upon hard contact – is always a shade of non-reflective gray, the shade varying from girl to girl. A Maggiemite's skin almost always feels cool, unless it is significantly warmed or chilled by the local temperatures. The only inside of her is there any sign of body heat. Their hair is always red and blue, split between the two colors right down the middle, and often, but not always done up in symmetric ponytails to a magnet design. Their 'hair' is not actually hair, but a sort of soft plastic-like fiber that does not conduct electricity and thus is not affected by proximity to electricity. Their pupils are universally a pale white, usually giving, to the casual viewer, the impression that they have no pupils at all. On the back of a Maggiemite's hands are two translucent half-spheres about an inch and a half wide, one red, and the other blue. Similar half-spheres appear on both feet, just below where they meet the leg. The red spheres are always on the same side of the body as their red hair, and vice versa. They are younger in appearance that most Pokégirls, around 5 feet tall, with slim figures and with B-cup breasts at best. Despite this, they are surprisingly heavy, weighing roughly 220 lbs.

    A Maggiemite's body has minor morphing qualities. They can shift their arms and legs, which normally appear human standard, into more solid gloved and heavy boot-like forms, giving them a solid base during combat. Their strength does not change when this happens, only the Maggiemite's own resistance to damage(which nevertheless allows the Maggiemite to exert more force without fear). Maggiemites may also morph their fingers into sharp claws, which can be used to cut things with ease or to perform various attacks. When a Maggiemite's body is subjected to heavy force, her skin reacts automatically, hardening to steel-like resilience against the attack and then softening as soon as the pressure is removed. This occurs even when the Maggiemite creates the force herself, such as when she is striking a heavy object. Despite this, Fighting and Ground-type techniques are very effective against the armor-like skin, and Fire attacks are not only effective but unless they hold some sort of other physical element (like Fire Punch) the skin's special properties don't even trigger at all, not that it has much effect at all.

    One of the most interesting facts about the Maggiemite is that she is a girl with serious mental issues. This does not at all mean that Maggiemites are not intelligent - rather, their minds naturally tend towards rapidly changing moods, reactions, and extremes. One minute she may be as shy as a mouse, and the next she just can't have enough taming, not even caring if she's in a room full of other people. Even the most 'stable' of Maggiemites are like this, though their extremes tend towards emotional extremes. It is because of their randomness and great difficulty to keep up with that they are unpopular among tamers.

    The Maggiemite's other bizarre trait are the four spherical satellites (each about the size of a baseball, having two small magnets on each side and one blank so-called 'eye' in the center), that hover around them at all times. These spheres can be controlled directly by the Maggiemite, but when not being directly manipulated, they move around almost as if they had a mind of their own, sometimes staying still and calm, other times moving around in a wild dance. The movements of the spheres in fact unconsciously move to mirror the Maggiemite's mood. Those skilled at recognizing the different patterns can determine a particular Maggiemite's mood, even from a distance. Even when a Maggiemite is sleeping, the satellites hover about on their own. The satellites are moved around by magnetic force, and can act as release points for the Maggiemite's electrical power. The half-spheres on a Maggiemite's hands and feet actually provide the connection to the four satellites, and if a satellite is destroyed, a replacement will be generated from them to take its place, at the cost of some energy.

    Maggiemites were created by Sukebe to help assaults on enemy fortresses. Their offensive power was not spectacular, but their resistance to many forms of attack let them take a great deal of abuse, ideal for the brutal assaults. Their wild mentality, originally a design flaw that nearly made Sukebe abandon the line, proved surprisingly useful during the war where their unpredictability and extreme emotions made them a terror to face on the battlefield, despite their relative lack of power. Once inside of the enemy bases, where heavy metals could be found in almost every direction, they became a nightmare, using their magnetic movement to increase their maneuverability and move in ways that seemingly defied gravity. Their other saving grace was the Magnetic control unique to the line, which, among many other uses, helped give Maggiemites a surprisingly strong advantage over her fellow Steel-Types (though not against other Maggiemites).

    Maggiemites are fairly versatile Pokégirls, capable of attacking at close range with powerful steel claws and strikes, electric attacks at both melee, short, and eventually medium ranges. Maggiemite's offensive abilities can, like the girls themselves, be a little unreliable, becoming dangerously inaccurate or inconsistent in power if the Maggiemite's mood is poor. They are not very fast Pokégirls, instead relying on their toughness and ability to strike both up close and at a distance to win the day.

    In an area where there is solidly emplaced metal in all directions, however, like the indoors of some buildings, a Maggiemite can use it's Magnetic Levitation ability on a whole new level, 'repelling' itself from any given direction, letting it move much faster and in ways that otherwise would be much too ungainly to do, like suddenly change directions mid-air during a jump (by pulling themselves towards a wall in the desired direction), walk along ceilings, and other unexpected forms of movement. Levitation speed doubles in such an environment.

    All Maggiemites have the natural ability to levitate, effectively repelling themselves away from the Earth's own natural magnetic field and using that to maneuver. The levitation is not very fast nor capable of complex maneuvers, however, though it improves as the Maggiemite evolves.

    In the wild, Feral Maggiemite's are a truly unpredictable sight, especially in battle. They could fight their opponents to the death or lay down and spread their legs, waiting to be tamed. Or both. They are rarely found Feral anymore, however, except in unusual locations, as their electrical diet usually means they must stick close to urban civilization in order to eat – which makes them relatively quick to be captured.

    Thresholding into a Maggiemite is quite rare, but when it happens the girl in question tends to push away her family and friends, not wanting them to deal with her sudden drastic changes in behavior and form.

    One of the greatest mysteries about the Maggiemite is how she is able to control and manipulate multiple magnetic fields simultaneously, and get them to do exactly what she wants, even when being affected by many other magnetic fields - some of them very strong. Researchers are still studying this, and some are convinced that discovery of that method could lead to an industrial revolution, should that power be tapped. So far, no progress has been made.
