About

Mari is far from ready to be an adult. Even though she is now 18 and bears the Mark of her house, she needs her big brother, Afon, at the estate to run things. Where the Nox is he? Guided only by the rules in her book, Etiquette for Becoming a Proper Lady, Mari musters up enough courage to leave the comforts of her home. Airships and tea shops await! A family heirloom she wears around her neck and the mystery surrounding her brother’s disappearance leads her down an unlikely path with even more unlikely friends. Nefarious plots and ancient magics are thrust upon her. Mari must save the world in order to bring her brother home. No biggie. It’s nothing a proper lady can’t handle.

Moxie is a PG-13 rated comic. It includes some adult language and suggestive themes that may not be suitable for younger readers.


Caitlin Blaine is an illustrator and comic artist from Southwest Missouri and has been creating art and stories since she was just a child.  Her earliest influence in comics was Sonic the Hedgehog, to which she developed a serious art crush over the way SPAZ illustrated the covers. Her art and storytelling would later be influenced by a myriad of Japanese manga, anime, and video games.

Caitlin graduated from Missouri State University with a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts (emphasis in drawing) and would later go on to have the opportunity to work for Black Lantern Studios, Inc. and help create 2D assets for Nintendo DS games.

When she isn’t busy working on Moxie, Caitlin loves to spend time with her awesome husband and their many fur children. If she doesn’t have a stylus in her hand, she is most likely relaxing with some Netflix, rolling some dice in an epic D&D game, attempting to have a green thumb in the garden, or enjoying a nap. She loves the color teal, hot cups of chai tea, cats, is a firm believer in the oxford comma, and a follower of Jesus Christ.
