Margarita Cid Prado.

Maggie Cid.

Pretty M.

The Diminatrix.

These names have been following me for three years. For those who've been following me over here or on my size & smut Twitter already know Maggie, but for those who don't or need a refresher, let's start from the beginning...

Maggie didn't start as an actual character, so to speak. She was born as the result of a few prompts for a "let's make a Magical Girl together" meme. I only got four, but they were more than enough.

By then, she was just known as The Diminatrix, her dom alter-ego. But she soon got her name and backstory...

Maggie Cid is a former magical girl (though "girl" isn't accurate, since she started at 18). Back in the day, she was known as Pretty M, leader of the Pretty Saviors. She was cursed by a mysterious foe and shrunk down to her current size, six inches. Despite the shock and her group disolving after the incident, she managed to adapt to her new condition, as no one seemed to figure out how to reverse it. Aside from finishing her studies and becoming a nursing assistant, Maggie took advantage of her new size and became a sensation in the BDSM scene, enacting her size difference and dominant fantasies as The Diminatrix.

She had tons of potential, yes.

Funny enough, her debut was during a Growth Drive and her regular six inches were soon replaced by feet... and close enough to miles... But that was kinda OOC: she's a shrunken woman, after all, why would I introduce her like this? Because I was following the Macro March trend, of course, but soon she'd be back to her tiny shenanigans.

Maggie would slowly appear in different ways as the Murnoeverse was developing around her as well. There was also another detail that was revealed in her early days: Maggie is a trans woman.

Contrary to popular belief, she isn't my first trans character. Prior to her, Nuri Vega (NB) and Randy Mann (trans man) were already around, but none were featured as much as Maggie has been all this time. It just... came to my mind, she's the way she is, nothing else.

However, the time I showed her naked for the first time, someone was complaing about a big macro/micro artist misgendering a character, and that triggered my worst fears: was Maggie harmful? Did I create an offensive character?

I won't lie, I was very worried and even thinking of deleting her altogether, as if no one would ever remember she even existed. The least I wanted was for me to hurt real people, to make a character that mocked their lives. After all, I'm a cis man, and despite all I've listened to and learned from trans people... I see there's a lot to do, and I don't know the experience first-hand. I've only listened and learned...

I was scared I'd be hurting other people.

However, the few trans people who know Maggie are OK with her. Some even love her.

Because there is no ill intention, she's who she is. Despite being a dominatrix, she isn't a fetish, but a character, someone with her own thoughts, dreams, desires and feelings... And I know, and so do others, that I will keep learning.

I do believe in diversity in fiction, and I do also believe in Human Rights and will stand and fight for them.

Aside from that, she's been an inspirational character. She's quite the opposite of who I am: she's smart, she's cool, she's extrovert, she's confident (maybe too much) and she's open about her feelings and sexuality. And I'll keep quoting my own words about her:

"I believe Maggie represents me breaking the chains that didn’t allow me to enjoy the macro/micro community and their love for extreme sizes, she’s about BDSM, sexuality, confidence and self-esteem… She might not be perfect, and I know, but she can help me in communicating and exploring many more topics…"

Maggie has been around for three years, she's a character I love so much that since 2022 I draw her at least once per month, and I'm looking forward to doing the same this very year. I've had plenty of characters who've been around and been inspirational as well: my namesake's elven druid and warrior Fëadraug; the serious and raging Reploid Sekhmet; the zany Pantheon drone Monty; the sizeshifting superhero Clara; the cartoony fox Chiki Vulpin... And I love them too, but there's something about Maggie that is very different, something about her that takes her beyond the others.

I can't put that into words, but she's awesome and I hope people can see that. And that I keep doing better with her or with any other characters.

But today, on March 5th, let's rejoice, for Maggie Cid is still here and she won't be going anywhere.

Thank you so much, everyone.

And thank you, Maggie.
