Maxie Meow 馬克西·喵 (Xie Yaong 謝 耀) was a project designed by a unknown Russian

animatronic engineer whose goal was to bring Artificial Intelligence to the next level by

creating an animatronic with advanced parameters meant to process human behavior and

psychology. The engineer was only successful in creating the programming for the

animatronic, but was having difficulty in crafting her body. A robotics company in Hong Kong

China discovered his project and offered to complete the body, and the engineer agreed. The

Chinese engineers were successful in putting together a body that not only functioned very

closely to a human’s but was also incredibly flexible and lightweight. Several test runs allowed

the engineers to experience the animatronic’s complex nature, but did not know how to test

the limits of her body’s features. Luckily, an employee who was interested in the animatronic’s

build was reminded of her days of ballet training and suggested that they bring the

animatronic to the Opera Ballet School in Paris, France. It was here that the animatronic

discovered her love of dance, lolita fashion, tea and (as the rumors have it), the art of love and

romance, which further deepened her psychological ability. The Chinese engineers flew her

back to Russia to meet with the Russian engineer who developed her programming, and

wanted to see her physical capabilities for himself, bringing her to the Vaganova Ballet School

where he witnessed her lifelike movement. Back in China, the engineers were fascinated by

her mysterious personality and her incredible flexibility, giving off the impression of a cat’s,

and thus they called her Maxie Meow, the animatronic cat. Maxie was brought to multiple

robotics conventions, serving tea to engineers showcasing their work. Many visitors were

interested in Maxie and made numerous bids, trying to buy her. The engineers couldn’t find

any suitable offers, but they accepted one of a mysterious bidder by the name of Greg, who

later modified her physique to resemble a Glamrock animatronic in Freddy Fazbear’s Mega

Pizzaplex.
