Backstory[]
Before she became a demon, she was pretty greedy, because of her parents being rich and buying her everything she asked for. She'd do anything for money, even through WW2 was starting at that time. She wasn't very successful at this, through. Although she was attractive, it was her greed and malice that ruined her life. The only man that genuinely wanted her as a wife, instead of a one-night stand? She cheated on him. In her eyes, he didn't make enough cash. She only wanted riches.
Due to the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor, her husband was forced to go to war. No rich man still wanted her, obviously. Few jobs were high-paying for women at this time, in the 1940s. Most jobs intended for women weren't high paying and tedious. But still, Maureen thought of a situation.
Here's where the alternative history comes into play. The Imperial Japanese somehow finished the American Army off, and they were attempting to gain control of the country. Maureen knew something had to be done about this. The Imperial army was successfully finishing anyone who dared go against them.
Maureen sold her soul to Satan, wishing for both something being done about the Axis, and the riches she always wanted. Satan agreed to give her this power, but with a price. He refused to tell her what the price was. "I'll be honest to you. I'll make you rich, and something will be done to the axis. But hear me out, you'll become a blood-thirsty demon, but since you're already evil and only care about greed.. this'll turn you into a psychotic killer. Are you entirely sure you wanna go with this?"
Maureen agreed. The reason why? The Imperial Japanese were a bunch of sadists. She knew something had to be done about it, seeing as they have a dictator whom wants to control a bunch of countries, and the fact that she wouldn't have become rich under that regime.
After making that deal, Maureen became the richest person in the entire world. She grew her hair out, in order to attempt to cover her ears. Soon after, a news report came on the TV. It claimed that, her parents were killed, along with thousands of other Americans. This enraged Maureen.
Then, it said that Nazi Germany wanted to invade the United States, primarily because the Nazis thought that America was almost Aryan. The reason why Imperial Japan wanted to invade is for revenge of the bombing on Hiroshima. This led both countries into an argument, and the dictator claimed that the Nazis were white supremacists. The dictator of Nazi Germany tried to claim that the Japanese were sadists.
What basically happened afterwards was that Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan started fighting on American land. They were fighting inside a forest near Maureen, so she finished them off. Until a few Nazis and Imperials escaped. They kept claiming they saw a either a "Blutsukkubus" (Blood Succubus) or "Chi no sakyubasu" (Blood of the Succubus)
Of course, both the dictators of these countries didn't believe them. Until a war photographer actually recorded Mareen, while Mareen had her back turned. Due to both countries not knowing how to deal with actual demons, they tried getting priests, holy water, crosses, garlic, holding Mareen down during Japanese exorcisms, etc. Nothing worked. She has powers that are basically shields of fire, and being able to set anything on fire. Didn't matter what ropes they used, what types of water they used, or holy paper.
Both the Nazis and Imperial Japanese nearly killed her, until they discovered that she had a regeneration ability, after two nanoseconds. Because of her regeneration, they knew that they couldn't kill her. And her ability to burn anything made it impossible to keep her as a war-criminal, super soldier, or experiment. The dictators of both countries wanted them to continue trying to find something to keep her captive, and all scientists and soldiers of both sides had to develop something to keep Mareen captive, or else they couldn't go home. The soldiers just ran away, primarily because they didn't want to die. Scientists spent all the time trying to make new identities instead.
