Burdine Maxwell, known as the Reigning Queen of Fashion by herself, is the founder, president and editor-in-chief of Your Thing, the rival of Bratz Magazine.
She was first introduced in Bratz: Rock Angelz and is the central antagonist for most of the Bratz TV series. She has appeared in movies, books and games, making her one of the most featured media characters to have never had a doll release.
History[]
Burdine lives in Stilesville, California which is presumably where she was born. She attended and graduated from Stiles High in 1977 where she was bullied for her fashion sense and voted worse dressed in her year.[1]
Fashion Police[]
In her twenties in 1981 Burdine joined Fashion Police as an agent. She was partnered up with Elemina and the two went on many missions together. However Burdine's love for fashion eventually got in the way of her job when her distraction by a pair of pink pumps led to Elemina being beat up and captured by the people they were trying to capture. Elemina was eventually saved by another Fashion Police agent, but Burdine was fired from the agency. She has always resented Elemina for this.
Your Thing[]
Sometime after leaving the Fashion Police Burdine started a magazine in 1978 called, Your Thing, all about fashion. The magazine was a booming success and Burdine was invited to attend different concerts and runway shows all over the world. Her magazine was liked by many people, including Jade, who Burdine hired as an intern in Rock Angelz.
Personality[]
Burdine has one view of the world and everything that doesn't fit into her narrow mind view is negative. She doesn't have any friends because of this, her one friend being her dog. She dislikes anyone who doesn't bow down to her and even those who do she treats badly.
Appearance[]
Burdine has shiny, blonde hair and always wears a diamond encrusted, silver tiara. Her lips, forever set in a frown, are always coated in pink lipstick. Her nose is a pointy shape and sticks out when you view the side of her face. Her eyes are always covered with bright blue eye shadow and framed with mascara. She fails to leave home without her pink blazer and matching skirt, though it seems she doesn't wear a shirt underneath. She wears hot pink stiletto pumps with bows to finish off her look.
According to Kaycee and Kirstee, Burdine has had Botox in her face.
