Margaret Ann "Maggie" Schaeffer is a character in the LG15: The Resistance video series. In 2003 she was reported missing by her parents who claimed her to have been abducted by her primary care physician in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. She is trait positive, and has been used by LifesBlood Labs as a blood supply.

Background

On September 17th, 2008, The Hymn of None posted information they had gotten during a hack of the LifesBlood Labs Website. The data included a list of names, Maggie being the only one not dead or in a coma. Further research led to a website called "Maggie Come Home", and forum members contacted her parents via the site to inform them of what they have found.

Damsel in Distress

Maggie made her first appearance in archival footage from September 2008 posted by the Hymn of None so that her story would live on. The footage seems to confirm that the Head of LifesBlood Labs, Dr. Alderman, was the physician who was responsible for her kidnapping, having done so after discovering the life-extending properties of her blood. Instead of going through a single ceremony that would ultimately kill her as other girls have done, Dr. Alderman decided to use a prototype created by Verdus Pharmaceuticals that would remove her blood without killing her, making it possible to use the same girl multiple times.

Maggie was weakened both physically and psychologically by the procedure, and found comfort only in the thought of being rescued, an idea that was fed by a young employee of LifesBlood named Beaumont, whom she began to get romantically involved with. However, once LifesBlood discovered the relationship, they demoted Beaumont to the position of Janitor, and told Maggie that he had been transferred to another facility. Maggie was extremely distressed by this, to the point where she threw a powerful tantrum despite having blood taken moments before. Her spirits are lifted when Beaumont comes to see her while mopping the hallway, and assures her through a note that he will save her.

Breaking Free

Etymology

Margaret is derived from Latin Margarita, which was from Greek μαργαριτης (margarites) meaning "pearl", probably a borrowing from Sanskrit. Saint Margaret, the patron of expectant mothers, was martyred at Antioch in the 4th century. Later legends told of her escape from a dragon, with which she was often depicted in medieval art. The saint was popular during the Middle Ages, and her name has been widely used in the Christian world. [1].
