Marie is most often, if not always, seen wearing extremely casual clothing. Her favorite outfit is a simple pair of jeans with one leg rolled up slightly, her purple iPod design hoodie and a pair of runners. She rarely dresses herself any other way, except when absolutely necessary. Marie has a few scars across her body from times when she would get into fights with random people off the street. She has no tattoos, but her overall attire is enough to make her stand out among a crowd.
{O D D I T I E S}
Marie will sometimes unintentionally switch from speaking English into speaking French, especially in the midst of a heated argument or panic.

{You can't let yourself be tricked by a person's outward appearance. You need to look past that in order to see the demon hiding beneath that skin of pleasantries.}

{P E R S O N A L I T Y}
{Loyal | Rebellious | Independent | Straightforward}

Marie is a very stubborn and lazy person. She hates the idea of doing strenuous works, especially if they are of no interest to her, and will adamantly refuse to do them. However, if given the proper incentive, she will do the work assigned. Marie is the very epitome of rebellious and, despite being loyal to the blue clan, is always secretly waiting for an opportunity to high-tail it out of there. Marie is very athletic, despite her laziness, and is the kind of person who chooses flight over fight. She is not a great soldier, though she does make an acceptable consigliere and thief. Marie is the kind of person who prefers to work on her own, believing that having a partner will just slow her down. She is also very wary of the Blue King and fights to keep composed in front of him. She is not a fan of the whole clan war that seems to be approaching on the horizon, doing her best to delay it as much as possible. However, despite her slight animosity towards the clan, she is very loyal. There are times where her initial flight over fight instinct will be overwritten by her loyalty and she will stand by her fellow clan members. Her straightforward and blunt attitude are part of her charm. Marie excels at not thinking about her job, but doing it the way she knows how. However, there are instances where she has a gut feeling warning her of trouble. This feeling has saved her from many troubles and as such she will always trust it, even if it means abandoning a cake-walk of a job.

{ You are who you are. You are here because of the choices you've made up to this point. Without those choices, you wouldn't been here. So, for better or worse, don't regret those choices, but embrace them and live on. }

{P O W E R}
Marie has the ability to change how people perceive the world around them. That is to say, she is able to create illusions with such skill that it almost seems like it's reality. Her area of expertise for this part is distractions and misdirection. She specializes in creating obstacles such as walls or even a fake version of herself. However, the more intricate the illusion, the easier it is for her to become tired. If she overuses her abilities, it causes strain on her mind and she eventually can no longer keep up the projection, having to give herself time to rest.
{S T R E N G T H S}

Stamina || Developed from numerous occasions of being on the run, Marie's stamina is top notch. Marie is able to keep up physical activity for long periods of time, despite her overall lazy attitude.
Deception || Even without her ability to cast an illusion, Marie is a skilled deceiver. She knows her ways with words and is experienced in the art of sweet talking a person. She can also play an exceptional distraction, should the need arise.
Caution || Some people call it a gut feeling, some call it instincts. Whatever it's called, Marie has it. Marie has learned, on many occasions, to trust her intuition and do what she thinks is the best. She has saved herself from trouble on several instances because she had the inkling feeling that something bad would happen. However, one could chalk it up as simple luck.
Loyal || Despite being quick to complain about being told what to do or having to conform to rules, Marie is very loyal to causes she believes in. She's not the kind of person to abandon a comrade, even if it looks like a losing fight. That being said, she would fight to get both people out of there instead of just herself. it doesn't necessarily mean she's a fighter.
Stealth || After living on the run, this is a skill a person will just develop natural. With the assistance of her illusions, Marie is easily able to sneak her way through the shadows and complete an objective without being noticed.

{W E A K N E S S E S}As many or more as Strengths

Laziness || Despite her extraordinary stamina, Marie is terribly lazy and does not enjoy doing work. She especially hates tedious work such as fetching an item or writing documents.
Rebellious || Marie is a loyal person, but there are times when she feels like she is not obligated to conform to rules. She will do her best to weasel her way out of duties and, when confronted, vigorously denies any accusations.
Combat || Marie, being the kind of person who prefers flight over fight, is not well trained in the arts of combat. Her physical strength is average at best and knows next to nothing about attacking another person.
Teamwork || A natural lone wolf, Marie has a hard time working in groups. She is not exactly a team player as her first instinct is usually to run once things get out of hand. However, she never feels right about leaving people behind and thus feels conflicted about the whole endeavor.
Motivation || Marie's motivation, rather her lack thereof, is something that is just about non-existent. It is extremely hard to get her motivated and she tends to not want to do anything when unmotivated.

{If I absolutely have to do something then it should be something that is interesting. Otherwise, what's the point?}

{H O B B I E S}

Napping || Marie enjoys taking naps whenever there's nothing else better to be done. One could say that it's a personal ritual to do so.
Listening to Music || Marie absolutely loves listening to music around the clock. She especially likes classical music because she finds it rather calming.
Pranks || With the ability to create illusions, who could resist the temptation to mess with someone? Marie absolutely enjoys creating any random illusions just to see how people react.

{H A B I T S}

Nibbling || Whenever Marie gets the feeling that something is off and not right, she begins to start snaking on various candies to take her mind off of things. Sometimes she just pops a candy in her mouth without even noticing it.
High Places || Whenever Marie feels uncomfortable, worried, stressed, or just in need of calming down, she makes her way to places of high altitude. There's just something about being high up that gives her a feeling of comfort.
Language || When in the middle of a heated argument or when feeling nervous, Marie will sometimes unintentionally switch from English to French and back. Most of the time, she doesn't even notice that she's doing it.

{L I K E S}

Pranks || Marie absolutely loves pranking and teasing people. She often goes for an illusion that would make a person uncomfortable or plays on their fears, but will settle for small things if need be. She finds teasing other people to be an enjoyable pass-time.
Rock Candies || Although she has nothing against other forms of candies, Marie absolutely adores rock candies such as pop rocks or lollipops. She finds them to be a calming snack.
Idling || Marie, being a natural lackadaisical person, is not fond of doing work of no interest to her. As such, she enjoys the idea of lazing around doing nothing.
Classical Music || Though she is unable to play an instrument herself, Marie loves listening to music of the classical genre. She finds the song calming and relaxing.
Running || Despite not enjoying the idea of work, Marie is very active when it comes to running. She often goes out for morning jogs and enjoys challenging herself with a time constraint.

{D I S L I K E S}At least five

Work || Marie prefers to stay idle if she has the option. She has an extreme lack of motivation and adamantly refuses to do work unless given a certain level of incentive.
Horror Genre || Although she would never admit it, or obviously let it show on her face, Marie is not good with the whole horror genre. It gives her chills and she hates that feeling.
Combat || Marie doesn't have good abilities in a fight. As such, she prefers to stay away and take the safe route. She's more of a stealth person.
Partnering Up || Marie is against the idea of working as a unit. She is not great at working in groups and prefers to do her jobs solo. She believes that a partner will just slow her down.

{G O A L S}At least three

Disappear || While she is loyal to the blue clan, she cannot help but feel confined and restricted. After all, it wasn't like she really had much of a choice when she had joined. That being said, while she does her job as a member, she is always looking for a chance to escape and vanish forever.
Survive || As per her flight over fight instinct, Marie's main objective in a mission that involves the possibility of death is to survive. Loyal or not, if she ends up captured by the enemy, she is willing to do whatever it takes to survive. However, there are certain cases when this survival instinct is lowered and she does things that she herself cannot even begin to understand.
Work as a Contractor || Thanks to her experience in the field, Marie is a semi-experience thief and scout. She works as an amateur contractor for a career and earns money wherever she can. However, if the task seems like there's a high chance of mortality, she will not take it.

{F E A R S}At least three

Death || A rather common sentiment. Marie does not enjoy the idea of dying. While she understands that everyone dies at some point, she strives to keep her life going for as long as possible.
Blue King || Not so much a fear of the person, but the person's power. She was pulled into the clan by the man and is not able to leave because of his influence. As such, she is always wary around him, even when working under him.
Horror Genre || Marie is terribly afraid of anything supernatural or the likes. As strong as she attempts to be in spite of such a fear, there is only so much that a person can handle before succumbing to the pressure.

{Be careful about what you perceive to be true. The more you think you see, the less you actually do. That's the power of an illusion.}

{H I S T O R Y}
Marie Delaire was born into a middle-class family, a French mother and Canadian father. Marie's parents were the typical sort of family; always at work, barely at home. As such, Marie grew up in an empty house, her main means of interacting with other humans being school. However, for the most part, Marie never excelled at her academic endeavors. She showed promise in physical education and the dramatic arts, but that was all. She showed no interest towards academics or visual arts. Moreover, despite her interest in classical music, she never had the skill to play an instrument. Naturally, this was a problem with her parents. They continuously compared her to other students in her class and scolded her, telling her she had to do better. Ironically, this did nothing but ensure that she never succeeded academically. Marie was a stubborn person, hated doing what other people told her to do. One could see right from the start that she would grow up to be your stereotypical problem child. She got into fights at school, skipped classes, mouthed off to teachers. Eventually she was kicked out of school and her parents, more or less, gave up on her. They gave up trying to get her to go back to school, to learn. They gave up acknowledging her existence altogether.

It was at this time that Marie had begun to discover her powers. She was looking through the window of her room one day and noticed a strange reflection. She quickly ran into the washroom, looking at the mirror on the wall. Her eyes had turned completely dark. This was, of course, a shock to her. It was not a natural thing. She took herself to the doctor's to get it looked at, but the doctor's had no idea what could have caused such an incident. They wanted to conduct tests on her, but being the person she was, she adamantly refused. Storming out of the office, Marie began feeling frustrated. Her world was changing, quite literally to be honest. The world around her began to shift into a whole different scene. Objects became warped and unnatural. She began to feel a splitting headache and stumbled to an alley before slumping to the ground. When the headache had subsided, she turned back out to the street to find everything as it normally was. Confused, she stared at a car that had previously been warped. There was no way she had imagined it, right? As soon as she thought that, it began to warp once again. Not the entire street, but just a car. A passing onlooker jumped in surprise at the sight of the car. It was then that it occurred to her, her latent abilities.

She ran home and packed her belongings. She took some money from her father's safe, which she had learned the code to some time ago, and took as much money as she could. She left her home that day, never to return. She was fifteen when she left and she found herself travelling ever since. She managed to get by using her ability to distract shop owners while she stole food and money. She had traveled across Ontario, slowly collecting money. Once she had enough, she quickly boarded the first plane out, a departure to Los Angeles, USA. Upon her arrival, she had continued her routine. Distracting shop owners and looting their items that she needed. However, she had gotten careless. One day, she didn't bother to use an illusion to cover her tracks and was caught stealing. Despite being chased across the state, and using her illusions to throw off the authorities, she was eventually apprehended and taken into custody. She was tied to the serial thefts that occurred in Ontario and several other thefts in L.A. Now that she was 18, Marie was given an adult trial and was sentenced to prison. She had made an attempt to escape once more after she had been told this, but to no avail.

It was then that she first met the leader of the Blue Clan. He had extended to her a simple offer. Somehow, he knew about her abilities. He told her she had two options. Either join his clan, a clan that had complete jurisdiction over the LAPD, or go to jail with consequences worse than what she had already been given. The choice was a no-brainer. She reluctantly joined the clan as its newest member. She, to this day, still serves the clan despite still always waiting for her opportunity to escape.

{The thing about the human brain is, even if it's just an illusion, if it thinks it's real, you start to feel like it's real.}
