Maxence

Who is Maxence?

Maxence, affectionately nicknamed "Maxou" by Wendy, is a secondary character in Les Sisters, 14 years old. He is Wendy's boyfriend and their friendship goes back to nursery school.

Maxence is particularly known for his chronic bad luck, often caused — intentionally or not — by Wendy and Marine. Although Rachel and Sammie both have a crush on him, he remains unfailingly loyal to Wendy and turns down their advances.

His hair is strikingly blond, giving him a sunny appearance that contrasts with the catastrophic situations he regularly finds himself in.

The character grows in importance across the seasons: his relationship with Wendy, built on genuine closeness despite frequent teasing, remains a throughline of the series, as does the chronic bad luck that keeps following him from one episode to the next.

Maxence in the Bamboo comic

In the comic, the relationship between Wendy and Maxou is handled with real tenderness despite the short gag format. Volume 6, « Un namour de Sister », is the first to truly develop this still-shy, awkward teenage couple. Volume 8, « Tout pour lui plaire ! », piles on romantic mix-ups around him, between Wendy trying to win him over and Marine butting in uninvited.
