Argabauth: Mary's prized RP character, Argabauth is a cream colored gryphon, with a strange set of blood red runes around the ankles of his front talons, mimicked by a set under his left eye. He is the leader of the Tonanthic Highlands Clan, the High Warlord and Flight Commander. His history is as a good thirty pages long, and he's been around almost since Mary started RPing on forum boards. He almost has as many children and grandchildren as he has years of life, and is a very proud male gryphon.
He is her pride and joy, and countless years of work has changed Argabauth from a frumpy little cub to the adult leader he is. You dis Argabauth out of character and she takes it personally. She does occasionally morph Argabauth to different universes (and different races) when she wants to use him in roleplays that aren't "The Dynast Age."
Drawing her Otherkin Soul: For the longest time (and really since she found the concept) Mary has always had a feeling that she wasn't human, or at least, in a soul sense. Basically, she believes she has the wings and tail of a gryphon, even if they aren't seen (because its part of her "soul" and the aura energy she has). Her otherkin soul is that of a gryphon, one closely resembling Argabauth, but a much lankier, adolescent, female one. She draws her other-self as a "silver gryphon" (think snow leopard mixed with snowy owl, but not so fluffy) with a much wider wing span, longer tail, and large frocks on her elbows. She named the other-self "Prena," but has never used her for roleplays. She prefers not to.
Roleplaying: You name it, she's probably dabbled in it. Fandoms, OTPs, OCs, canons, she's done most of the popular types of RP. She favors original character roleplays the best (mostly because she can try to morph Argabauth to fit into them), but she's play a few lead canon rolls over the last few years. She started when she was nine, and hasn't stopped since. Chat rooms, forum posts, emails, if you can RP in it, Mary will RP in it.
Socializing: For all her computer hogging interests, Mary actually really enjoys socializing with others. She believes that the more time she spends talking to people, especially in person, the more acclimated to human life she will become, and more used to people running into what she feels as wings or a tail, and just more "like everyone else," something she knows will be beneficial (or at least stop the odd looks). That aside, she enjoys meeting people, even at her young age, and learning about different types of people.
Virtues:
Cheerful: Mary always has a smile on her face for people, and an air of a zest for life around her. She's never known anything that would make her depressed or truly upset; yeah the teasing about her Otherkinness does annoy her, but she takes it in stride most of the time. She'd rather be around people who are happy than those who are upset all the time. So she tries to make sure there's always some happiness in a group, even when the subject of conversation turns to unsavory things.
Patient: Waiting for plots to happen in roleplay is like waiting for the grass to grow, especially if it’s a big plot that many people are involved in, and you have to wait for the right time to put it into action. Mary has learned a good bit about patience through roleplaying, and takes it into her outside life as well. Most have no idea what the Otherkin are, and Mary will patiently wade through your questions or comments about it, and tell you the concept of it. If things aren't going well in her life, but she knows it’s only for a little while, she'll wait it out as best she can.
Tries Hard: Ever since the first few incidents with Mary and people not understanding her Otherkin philosophy (and calling it a mental disorder) Mary has done her best to appear to be "normal" and "human" even though she's very set in her head that she's only human in physical form. This has bubbled over into the rest of her life and she tries her very best in everything she does. A tiring proposition, but if it keeps her out of the shrinks, she'll do anything.
Flaws:
Overly Optimistic: Mary is incredibly optimistic about things. To the point where she will almost never see the bad side of something. Even if the world was ending, she'd still say that they'd be alright if they just stopped panicking. If she was asked to jump off a bridge, she'd say that she'd survive because her wings would save her (which as she doesn't have real ones, they wouldn't). Her over cheerful nature grates on peoples nerves and they can easily become testy with her and tell her to shut up.
Naive: Being the world's most happy go lucky girl has its down sides, and being naive is one of them. Mary isn't naive in the sense that she's sheltered. Far from the truth; Mary knows about the 'bad' things in life (sex, drugs, rated R movies, and people who god-mod). Its more... she believes with full conviction, that everything "bad" is not as bad as they are, and everything will work out in the end. If someone is shot, she truthfully believes they will always get better, and without any ailments. When they don't, she gets a shell shock of the real world and dives into her roleplays where death happens, but you can retcon it if you really want to.
Humanly Awkward: Mary tries incredibly hard to seem normal in social interactions. She really does. But being Otherkin has its distinct problems, and Mary is very awkward in her body, as a result. She frequently, even in the middle of conversations, will reach behind her into thin air to pull her 'tail' out of harm’s way, or will seemingly bat at air, preening the feathers of her 'wings'. In recent years she's gotten better at not doing this in public, but its hard when you're dead sure someone just stepped on your tail for the fortieth time that day. While outwardly, if she doesn't do these things, she looks like a normal young teen, Mary always seems to be a little... out there. As a result of this (and what her mother believes to actually be a case of schizophrenia), her mother shipped her off to St. Magdalena's in hope the school would break her of her "wrong" beliefs.
