Maximum Ride: Gazzy
She too was a poor soul that had been dragged into the 'School's' evil plan for world domination.
He had met her at the Japanese 'school' ten years after his flock thought they had taken them down but they were wrong.
She and five others all younger than her seventeen years had dog DNA grafted into theirs.
Of course once they found the 'school' he and his flock had taken it down hard.
With a lot of help from the young woman, yes young woman he was after all older then her by two years.
After which they had helped her and her 'pack' flee to an abandoned shrine.
They had all agreed that they should stay together.
Of course at first tensions were high.
She was the leader of her pack and Max was the leader of their flock. But she had relented her leadership to Max without a fight two weeks later.
They had become close friends and he knew that if and when the time came that their two groups had to part he would stay with her and her pack.
He had fallen in love with her and he was not going to leave her.
Besides, she found his namesake endearing even though her nose was more sensitive than most.
