Maéva, mostly known as "Shorty", is a female character who was introduced with a cameo in Sift Heads 4, and later became a playable protagonist in the Sift Heads World series.
Vinnie's girl is not just sexy but also very lethal. She is a weapons expert and has also acquired much experience as an assassin from being at Vinnie's side. The best sharp shooter of the group and the ideal for tactical diversions.
Early Life[]
Shorty has somewhat of a hazy past. Even if she came from a wealthy French family and was naturally blessed she quickly became exhausted and sought to bring some action in her life. Wanting to live dangerously she began to flirt with drug dealers in Eastern Europe.
When things started to go wrong that’s when she decided to leave the country and join the best bounty hunter currently known: Vinnie! From there on both would write history and Shorty’s reputation would take off thanks to her partner’s notoriety. But one day their bond would be tested when one of Vinnie’s enemies kidnaps her to get closer to him. Kiro, who was a strong enough adversary to Vinnie, would be defeated but then invited to join the couple’s clan.
Appearance[]
Shorty is usually depicted with grey hair, red heels, and rouge lipstick while donning a red femme fatale dress. Like Vinnie, she can be always be seen wearing sunglasses. Though she is sometimes seen without them.
Vehicle[]
This is Shorty's vehicle for most of the games that she has starred in.
It's based on the R56/R57 Mini Cooper S Hatch. In Sift Heads World: Act 6, after her car was destroyed, her new vehicle is a Lotus Evora.
