Mary Lee
From Edge of Darkness Wiki
History Before Sacramento
Mary's memories of her pre-changeling life only include brief glimpses of her 4th birthday, the first night she went out for Halloween. These memories exclusively address, in shattered details, only that one night - herself, the wind, her mother - and do not grant nearly enough information to pin anything down. She was actually taken around age 19, but the images from fairy that overwhelm her concrete, personal memories only deal with a handful of bizarre birthday celebrations at the hands of the Prince of Lies, a True Fae who forcibly "adopted" her. Memories not grounded in her personal identity remain bizarrely intact, as she possesses a well educated grasp of vast knowledge, from literature to the occult, as well as a solid understanding of computers. She is a fully functional adult in every case except her own background, and thus relies on trivia in order to pass herself off as an ordinary young woman. Her adopted surname of Lee is merely an attempt to choose an identity vague enough that it won't contradict her long lost heritage, the pursuit of which consumes her. A generally melancholic soul, her yearning to find out who she was, and where her family is (or at least her mother), is her greatest passion outside of supernatural goings on. In her day to day life, she survives on that which most likely caught the attention of her Fae tormentor to begin with: She has a deep, subconscious attunement to others that sometimes leaves them inspired and elated. Infectious friendliness aside, she spends most of her time lost in her own laziness, whiling away the day with nothing to show for it. A deep sorrow and sense of hopelessness inhibits her actions whenever she loses momentum, and a savvy observer would recognize this as Major Depression, or "Melancholia."
Her forcibly adoptive father called her pumpkin, tied directly to a memory of her fourth birthday, on a Halloween night, upon which she trick-or-treated in a pumpkin costume. The name stuck, because it's one of the few things she has left to hang on to.
Now
She's been settled in Sacramento now since September, during which time she's gotten a job bartending at The Forge. Aside from that, she's mostly just lent a hand whereever she can when not moping, sleeping, and eating in her room at The Four Seasons Hotel, leading to a noticeable weight gain. Mrs. Rosemary's cooking has contributed significantly.
