Max or Maxine Caulfield is the 18 year old protagonist of the game Life is Strange. The reluctant and shy girl is eager to become a photographer. To make that dream come true through, the talented girl has returned home to Arcadia Bay in Oregon with a scholarship to attend Blackwell Academy, a private school for 12th grade seniors.
- The first episode, Chrysalis, begins with Max and her schoolmates and a "typical" day at school. But this day is only a typical school day until Max discovers a totally new power - the power to bend time to her will. Most of all, she incidentally also saves Chloe's life, which is threatened by one of Max's classmates - Nathan Prescott. The player soon learns that a lot has changed in Chloe's life, too.
- In her room is a photo with Max and two friends, Fernando and Kristen on the Fremont Troll. They are just mentioned and were very drunk that day.
