Maiev is like--I know a bunch o' people in law enforcement and she reminds me a lot of the 'thin blue line' types I've been told about, the ones who become their job.
Heck--her *BOSS BOSS BOSS* at her little bro reminds me of cop/parole officer/jail guard/corrections-and-law-enforcement-type parents too XD; "Where are you going who are you going with when are you coming back who's this person do they have a criminal record where do they live who are their parents or guardians" etc. etc. every time one goes out the door.
So already we have MADAME SUPERCOP and...she's underground all the time. ALL THE TIME. Single focus. Presumably having no sense of day/night and thus no real logical circadian rhythm and sleep schedule can't have helped much. That is SUCH a recipe for disaster. "This is my job and it's a job I am proud of, I am doing important work here, I am protecting my people and I am important to the--DAMMIT TYRANDE WTF!? PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE COME BACK HERE WITH THAT HORNED JERKASS!"
And Tyrande's like "Bleh." Only more dignified.
ANYWAY Maiev really reminds me a LOT of Javert--except that when he couldn't reconcile 'legal' and 'moral' being not the same thing, he took himself out of the equation. Maiev on the other hand...she looked at the equation, then chucked the frickin' whiteboard out the window. And then tried to hit Illidan with it.
