History
Maybelle was born Dry Season 14, 54 PV to Howard and Lehanna Rothmyer in R'Fugi, the third of three siblings. Life was hard in R'Fugi, especially in those days, her father working as a guard and her mother laboring in the fields. At age 9, Howard was killed during an attempted raid by Discordian gang members, leaving the single mother and her two older sisters to raise her. Her older sisters would put Maybelle into the sex trade at the age of 10, servicing town guards and providing provokative shows featuring her and her sisters in an attempt to thwart economic troubles.

At age 12, she would become pregnant with her first child, a boy named Gale, by an unknown male from a town guard. Gale wasn't long for this world, however, and died of shortly after his birth. Her daughter's middle name is Gale in honor of her first child.

Left in his wake was her breasts, now capable of lactation. R'Fugi was experience a drought that year and Maybelle exploited this, selling her own milk for a small fee and calling it "Wonder Juice". Business swelled and her other sisters became involved, allowing the girls to give up prostitution. This business became a proto-Liquid Wonderment.

Even after the source of the milk was discovered when Maybelle was 15, many people continued to buy it because of its flavor. However, many imitators soon popped up in R'Fugi, with many mamillians trying to score a quick buck. The business crashed hard for a short while, but it was soon discovered that the only milk adults were willing to drink either came from cows or goats, and business came back, albeit not to its glory days.
