MARY MACDONALD . 18 . HEALER IN TRAINING 

see that lovely girl up there? that is miss mary macdonald, though mary will do just fine. or shorty if you're feeling lucky. mary is a former gryffindor student and she's currently receiving her healer training at st. mungo's as well as being part of the order of the phoenix. mary was also the girl who was attacked my dark magic when she was 15. mulciber imperiused her and threatened to make her jump out of the astronomy tower. needless to say, it scarred her, but she has put it behind and has grown stronger ever since. 

mary is, for most part, quite outgoing and friendly. she isn't one to think much before she acts, and is quite impulsive, but she usually means well. she's loyal to a fault, and can't stand seeing those she cares about hurt. on that note, she can become positively psychotic if you happen to hurt someone she cares about. aside from that, she's about as stubborn as a mule and the kind of person who will shoot herself in the foot to prove a point. proud might be the best word to describe her. she'd rather die than admitting defeat and she'll go out of her way to prove someone wrong. she's a sore looser and doesn't believe in second chances. forgive and forget? nope, not really, sorry.

friends . i'd expect a few. i mean, despite her obvious flaws, mary is a genuine friend, that really cares about those close to her. she'll give you the clothes of her own back if she has to, and she'll offer to beat up someone for you if you need it. 

enemies . well, she's nice, but she's no miss congeniality. in case it hasn't been noticed, she has an attitude, quite a bit of a temper and is quick to snap at other people. she's sarcastic, she's stubborn, and she doesn't take crap from no one. so i figure she isn't everyone's cup of tea. plus she's a muggleborn and an order member, so that could make her a target?

lovers . she's single and not the least bit worried about it. she's never been one to change boyfriends like other people change clothes, but she has yet to settle down, and has had her fair share of boyfriends. she's not necessarily looking for a special someone, but she's hoping that she'll know when she finds them :3

and that's about it for miss mary. i suck at plot pages, so feel free to throw your ideas at me. i love all sorts of plots, the crazier the better so...

[James Potter]

JAMES&&MARY

These two would have been at school together - same house/year - so I figure they'd have known each other well enough over the years. If he knew about the attack he probably would have acted pretty protective over her, even if just because he hates the idea of a Snake hurting anyone he knows, and especially in that way... so, maybe they got closer post-attack? There's also potential for there to have been a bit of a romance in the past, depending on how you feel about that idea. He always had his eye on Lily, but that certainly didn't stop him from living out his teen years to the fullest and being with other girls. Either way, they'll have to deal with each other at Order stuff now, so...

CURTIS&&MARY

Curtis is two years younger but same house. He spend many years as the weirdo and the loner, spending a lot of time on his own and never really fitting in. In fifth year, getting on the Quidditch team was sort of his foot into the social world, and he's tried to build better relationships since then and break the weird-kid image. 

RAPHAEL&&MARY

Raphael is currently a Seventh year Hufflepuff, and he basically lives for fun. He doesn't give two tosses about school or work, instead spending his days drinking, partying, flirting, and playing Quidditch (about the only time he'll stay sober). Raphael will flirt with literally anyone, and Mary would have been no exception to that rule. He sneaks out of school ALL the time and he's always out in the village on the weekends, so if she's ever in Hogsmeade one night, she might cross paths with him in the pub.

DOMINIQUE&&MARY

Dominique is in her final year as a Slytherin. For the most part, she looks and acts like an overly confident b*tch, and she's known for being something of a bully from time to time. She's actually a complete act and everything you see is a very well placed mask/act, but it's rare for anyone to break through that mask. Dominique generally doesn't care all that much about others, despite what she might say or do, but if someone is exceptionally pretty or skinny, she'll take a dislike to them. She's spent years being compared to her sister, so it's made her overly aware of her own image and it brings out her insecurities, though she's damn good at hiding them. She has a reputation to uphold, after all.

CJ&&MARY

CJ is the current Head Boy and Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain. He tends to move in the popular circles, and likes to party and have fun as much as the next teenage guy. He tends to have a few hormone issues and his attention often wanders to other girls. Even though he's in a relationship, he's screwed up a number of time to various degrees, he just hopes she never finds out about it. Anyway, he's outgoing and confident, talks to just about anyone, and has always had a bit of a wandering gaze when it comes to the opposite sex.

GEORGINA&&MARY

Georgina is a Death Eater, though not the most loyal one. She's always been twisted and bad, and to her, being a Death Eater is just an excuse to do the things she loves even more. She loves control and dominance, and she's not keen on the killing part. Well, she is, but it's not the killing that she likes. It's all the fun stuff that comes first - the torture, the pain, the humiliation... it's not fun for her is she doesn't get to toy with her victims first.  Basically, she's not someone you want to cross in a dark alley... or ever.

ALICE&&MARY

My new gal! Alice is an Auror and ex-Gryffindor, and she's a friendly, bubbly girl, but a bit of an oddball. She can go from wrestling and working out to baking cakes and cookies in no time at all, and doesn't see anything wrong with that. She doesn't really look like the Auror sort, but years of being told she'll never succeed have made her pretty determined to do everything it takes to prove people wrong. Alice is also in the Order, so they'll have chances to interact there, for definite. 

[Deleted]

Frank & Marlene

Being from the same house despite Frank being three years older they might know each other reasonable and I'm sure they'd get on pretty well. My brains to fried to work the dates out properly but if Frank was still at Hogwarts when Mary was attacked he'd have been pretty furious and quite concerned for Mary, he'd also have been a 7th year prefect at the time so would have considered it his responsibility. On the other hand Mary's not grown up in Pureblood society (although Frank has no intentional bias most of his friends are purebloods or well connected half bloods) so he wouldn't have known her before Hogwarts so they may never have really known each other. Any thoughts?
With order stuff they're clearly going to get to know each other either way so plot happy times are a go go.

Regulus & Mary

Hmm this is a little less merry, Regulus probably thinks Mary should have done the decent thing and jumped when Mulciber gave her the prompt, so I can't see any friendship here. Regulus wouldn't have ever spoken to here directly but might have said so pretty shocking things within her hearing about purifying blood lines. Can't really think of anything to plot here.

[Deleted]

mary & james
i think that works quite well. and i have no doubts he would have at least heard about the attack, cause these things get around... but yeah, i think that mary would have been like "he's only doing this cause he pities me" but after a while she would have grown accustomed to him and would have become friends with him. and i think them having dated at some point could work too. i mean, why the hell not? but i figure that at some point things got a bit too awkward and james' only love is lily so they would have gone back to being friends.


mary & curtis
well, with mary being mary, i have no doubts that at some point she would have approached him in one of her later years at hogwarts, mostly because she would have been curious about him. though she pretty much stuck with the rest of the people from her year, mary tried to at least know who the other gryffindors were. so maybe they could have been somewhat friends from before? if not, they would have definitely have become closer after he got in the quidditch team, which would only happen in mary's last year but w/e. cause mary is a big quidditch fan. her brother plays professionally, she has to be xD


mary & raphael
raphael seems the sort of person mary would be torn between liking or disliking. well, on one side, his living for fun attitude would please her, but on another, she wouldn't like it that much that he doesn't take much of anything seriously. though, i can see them getting along fairly well, and quite possibly being party buddies. if she ever runs into him at the pub she'd be like "shouldn't you be in the castle" but be happy the same to see a familiar face.


mary & dominique
aw, dominique is so cute. anyway, i don't think they would have interacted much during their school years. mary isn't one to believe everything that's said about other people, but she'd probably seen how dominique acts and would have decided against trying to befriend her. aside from that, she'd think dominique is the most gorgeous person to have ever walked the earth, but yeah xD


mary &  cj

i'm sorry can i just leave this here? no? i will anyway. because that gif makes me laugh. what crossed my mind was, maybe mary knows who cj's girlfriend is? but cj didn't know this and tried to hit on mary? or he did and did it anyway. but mary would have been like "are you an idiot, you have a girlfriend" or something like that, and their relationship sorta evolved into this weird friendship where she tried to keep him in line or something? feel free to ignore this and call me crazy, it was just something that crossed my mind.

mary & georgina
yeah, georgina would definitely be in the lis of people mary just likes to avoid. and honestly i don't see much for them unless that at some point in the future they cross paths in an order/death eater thing.

mary & alice
alice is adorable! and they're a bit similar so i figure that now that they have more chances to interact with each other they won't have much problems in becoming friends. back in hogwarts, mary would have probably known of alice, and i can see them being friendly towards each other, but not very close. still, i think they'll get along brilliantly now.

mary & frank
well, frank is the same age as mary's brother so maybe they could have gotten to know each other trough him? i mean, mary was pretty close to her brother, i have no doubts he would have at least introduced her to a couple of his friends. and i think it would be the same with alice, she wouldn't be close to him, but they would be friendly. also, i don't think he would still be at hogwarts at the time of the attack. he seems nice enough that mary won't have much problems befriending him now.

mary & regulus
yeah, mary's had enough with blood purists, thank you very much, she would exactly go and try to meddle with another one. if at first she would have felt tempted to retort to the stuff regulus might say around her, i think that after the attack she'd definitely would have kept her mouth shut. which would have been horrid for her, and delightful for him, i have no doubts. 

[James Potter]

*is slightly obsessed with codes* whoops


JAMES&&MARY

He wouldn't have intended for it to come across looking like he pitied her, he'd just hate the fact that someone like Mulciber had managed to hurt someone in his house, withing the school, and using that curse. He'd have tried to make it known to her it wasn't a pity thing if he realized that's what she thought. A short attempt at a relationship that didn't last and ended on decent enough terms? 

CURTIS&&MARY

It would probably interest him to hear that her brother plays professionally. It's not something he's ever considered doing himself, but he is a Quidditch fan. 


RAPHAEL&&MARY

Raphael is the worst influence. He's a really, really bad influence XD and and in-denial alcoholic. He's rarely seen without a bottle close at hand. He'd certainly be up for a drinking/party buddy, and if she made a comment like that he's laugh and look at her like she was a little crazy, because really, school?


DOMINIQUE&&MARY

D'aww she should try telling her that sometime. Dominique wouldn't believe she meant it, but it would make a change for her to not  hear that her 'perfect' sister is the best XD If Mary didn't give her a reason to be against her, Dominique will probably have left her alone too.

CJ&&MARY

When it comes to his girlfriend he's actually pretty shallow... she's one of those super pretty blond bombshell type girls who he's trying to convince himself he really likes, but there's a niggling feeling telling him it's just the idea of her he likes. He could use someone to try and talk some sense in to him XD He knows he shouldn't stray, but he just can't help it sometimes.


GEORGINA&&MARY

Oh I think that's a highly likely possibility! We'll leave the fun till then. Georgie is the sort who enjoys playing on people's fears, so if she ever found out about what happened with Mulciber... she's love it.

ALICE&&MARY

That works! Alice would have been friendly towards a fellow Gryffindor, but the Order will give them a real chance to get to know each other better, so a friendship can develop from there. She could use a friend that will support her and believe she is actually capable of being an Auror, since pretty much everyone she knows hasn't believed her to be capable of it.

[Sirius Black]

WELCOME!
Mary & Sirius
I picture the most for these two, considering they went to school in the same house for seven years. They're actually pretty similar - outgoing and impulsive and loyal and stubborn. So my first instinct says they should be friends! But if you have any ideas for otherwise, I'm all for it. After all, if she doesn't believe in second chances, he's most likely screwed up his first xD He will also flirt with her incessantly, so she can take that as she will. They'll be involved in Order and stuff together, so I'm sure we could come up with ideas if we need them. 

Mary & Tony
Not so friendly. Tony is a Death Eater - kind of - and a typically cold person. He's not unfriendly, but he's not friendly. He's not quiet, but he's not talkative. Y'know? He works for the Ministry, and is quite hardworking and serious. He just kind of has a... violent streak. To put it lightly. Not sure how they'd interact - because in the Death Eater/Order threads, he can't really be caught, because of Ministry job. But again, any ideas you have, I'm open for them.

Mary & Addie
Same house, two years apart. They may have known each other. Actually, they might be pretty good friends. Addie's a partier but also takes school seriously, she was always quite outgoing and would not hesitate to strike up conversation with an older Gryffindor. Addie can get a little anxious, and she's got schizophrenia but has grown out of a lot of it - just that she occasionally sees things, and sometimes those things come true. Little known secret about her, but hey, secrets get out.

Mary & Dexter
How the hell did I end up with so many characters? Anyway, Dex is a year younger and a house apart from Mary, and he's about the shyest person in the world, so he likely would not have approached the pretty older girl. He's on the Quidditch team, absolutely crazy about the sport, and he's extremely studious and ambitious. If they ever interacted, he was surely quite nice to her. He has a difficult time with being mean. 

Do with them what you will xD

[Deleted]

mary & jenna's babies
i swear i'm not being lazy or anything, i just don't have anything else to add to what you've said, i think everything is perfect. so the only question left to ask if if you want to thread any of them.


mary & sirius

what? a gif? noooo. (man, i wish i had these for every character, it makes things so much fun) and considering the amount of badassery going on in said gif, i say friends! for sure. because yeah, there are bits of them who are so similar it hurts, so i can't see them not being friends. and the second chances thing is more when really bad stuff is concerned (like, i dunno, insulting her or her friends or just being a huge asshole). i really think they'd make an interesting pair, and i can imagine lots of banter between the two of them. and because she's just so used to him, she never takes his flirting seriously? like "omg black, stop professing your undying love for me, you know it's never gonna work out" and they just get along? ugh, i dunno, i suck. change whatever.

mary & tony
ok, sadly i don't have much to go with these two. unless he happens to go to st mungo's for something and he recognizes mary from a previous run-in with the order or something? or he's being treated for something and mary finds his wounds really suspicious? i dunno, i'm just writing what comes to mind. if you think it sucks, forget it :3

mary & addie
oh man, come here you precious human being, mary wants to hug you! no, really. addie is precious! and i completely agree, these two would have made up for great friends despite the age difference. they could have definitely have been party buddies, and now that mary has graduated, they have kept in touch. if she ever found out about the whole schizophrenia/seer thing, mary would probably feel horrible for not noticing earlier, while at the same time thinking that addie is even more cool for having an ability like that. even if seeing the future isn't the greatest thing to be able to do.

mary & dexter
well, all your characters are awesome, so keep going! as to dexter. i had a mental image. you said he is a fan of quidditch, maybe he's a fan of mary's brother, who plays the sport professionally and is well known? and on one of the years, maybe before they were boarding the train he noticed mary saying goodbye to him and he decides to ask her about it (i dunno if it would be possible for him to do that since you say he's shy...) and she's all "hhhm, he's my brother?" "oh, i'm a huge fan" "yeah, that's cause you didn't live with him for most of your life". i dunno. i should be sleeping. trash this idea if it sucks

[Deleted]

Mary & Frank
Excellent, yes that sounds sensible I imagine that Frank would've got on pretty well with his dorm mates and been in awe of a star quidditch player (he was always keen but never great) incidental what team does he play for now? (If you say the Arrow's Frank will be overjoyed )

Mary & Regulus
Yeah so BFFL then.

[Sirius Black]

Wow I don't know why this took me so long to reply to. The cold is getting to me I swear. Anywayyy...

Mary & Sirius
Wow. They look like they are on a MISSION. They need to be friends and go on MISSIONS together. Like in the Order together. And yes I agree with all that you said! Banter is good for this guy and friends is the perfect option. Lemme know if you have anything real specific in mind! Like I said we got them in the Order thread right now but I'm always up for more!

Mary & Tony
Eh, I got nothing, like I said, the cold is getting to me. We'll put these two on hold until we think of anything!

Mary & Adelaide
Aw that would be good for Addie to have a close older friend I think, 'cause she lost an older sister when she was younger so it'd be good to have a party buddy but also someone she could trust. And she's not against telling her secret, she just doesn't want everyone knowing, y'know? But maybe she could tell Mary know that she's out of school, so there's not as much risk of the whole school finding out. 

Mary & Dex
The only way Dex would really say something is if they were friends before, otherwise he'd be too damn scared, but in that case then this could happen! He'd be the type that would rail off all of her brother's stats because he has them all memorized. Or if he's brave enough, which Quidditch generally makes him more than anything else, something like "yeah, when he cost me 10 galleons when they lost that one game!" or something xD Break the ice a little. 

[James Potter]

I'm up for threading whoever, so... if there's any in particular you'd like to have fun with?
