☩ Delving Deeper ☩
Personality: Marylin is very lovable, if that is a way to describe someones personality. She has a flair for anything colorful and dramatic, and will go out of her way to make someone happy. She loves to see the happy parts of every situation, no matter how horrible it is. She lives in the thinking that life is beautiful and deserves to be captured into photos. Her main feature, personality wise, would have to be her devotion- to her work, mostly, but to people too. Days have passed without proper sleep, just so she could finish a project. She has never been one to go with the current trends (though her work demands she know them and be able to successfully execute them) and has always been one to stand out, even though she doesn't realize she does. She just likes to be who she is at heart, nothing more and nothing less.
If someone were to just look at Marylin, just a passing glace even, they would describe her as "Energetic, but knowing". That is to say, she is very excitable and happy, 102% of the time, but she has a look in her eyes that seems like it can see your soul. She's never been the judging type, but she does choose her friends very carefully- she's never much liked uptight, prissy people, nor people who think they are above and beyond the rest of the world. In her job, she does tend to meet a lot of those people. Though, the few friends she has are her favorite people in the world. She would do anything for them, and hopefully they her.
History: Marylin has never been in the spotlight- rather, she was born just outside of it. Her father was a screenwriter- though not a very big-name one. For as long as she can remember she was on the sidelines, watching as stars rose and fell to fame. From a young age she showed a passion for photography, getting her first professional camera at only age 10. She never showed any wish to be famous, as her father always did. She loved to be an observer, but never one to be like the higher-ups. By the time she was 16, she was fairly well known in photography circles, but she always stayed out of the limelight, never being interviewed or anything like that- she just loved her photography, and it came easy to her.
When Marylin reached age 18, she landed her first job at a magazine. At first, she was just an apprentice, but in only a year she was the main photographer at a well-known magazine. It's her dream job, and while it doesn't come with much recognition, she wouldn't give it up for everyone in the world knowing her name. Right outside of the limelight is her favorite place to be-- no one knows her, not the way they would know the stars, but she gets to meet some of them, in the form of models and movie stars and, well, anyone who deserves to be photographed (which is everyone, in her opinion, but her boss doesn't agree).
