personality:

Mara is really someone outgoing, not the kind of person who stays for days on her own. She likes people, that's why she decided to become a cop when she was little.That and the fact that she wanted people like her father to be thrown in jail. A bit bossy, she likes to be in charge, to have responsabilities. Her personality allows her to do so. She has natural leading skills, a strong temper, mainly due to her rough childhood. You cannot say she's cold with people, beacuse she's not, on the contrary., But let's say it's difficult for her to relate too much to others beacuse she fears she might loose them. But that is usually well hidden behind her strong look. She's a tough woman, and she's fine with that. Even if it makes men unconfortable sometimes.Mara is a caring person, very protective with others, but afterall it's being part of her job for the last decade. She's like your old sister, always there to catch you when you fall but who could kick your butt when you're doing something stupid. Tough love you know...
When it comes to talk abour herself, she's really nervous. She prefers to listen to people than talk about her. Generous, devoted to her job, funny but sometimes cynical, Mara is often appreciated for her frankness. She doesn't like liars, pretenses. Smart girl, she knows how to use her mind, and yes sometimes, it's usefull to make people do what she wants them to do. To gain her trust, you'd better be patient but once it's done, she's a trusted friend and ally. To sum up, Mara is a strong woman, nice and all that, but human, meaning she has weakness too, but she does her best to hide it most of the time. She's a paradox, sweet but a bit bad-ass too...

history:

➜ Mara is born in Boston, in the US. Her father, Milton Kinkirk was a college teacher (Ancient & Modern History), her mother, Caitlin (born Sinclair), is a well-know novelist. She had a younger sister, Prudence, who died when she was 11.
➜ She moved to England with her mother after her father was put in jail because he unwillingly killed her little sister during a severe hangover.
➜ She used to be her father's favorite punching ball, he even broke her wrist one day, when she was 6. She had always pretend it was her clumsyness that causes her all those bruises. No one ever noticed it before her sister died.
➜ She still reproches herself her sister's death. She was out playing baseball with friends when it happened. For her, she shouldn't have let her alone with him.
➜ Her mother remarried when she was 15, an attorney, Stephen, a really nice guy. Together they had a little boy, Connor.
➜ She was a clever student, always very curious about everything. She graduated from her high school with honnors at 17.
➜ With her mother's permission she took a year off, travelling across Europe with some of her cousins.
➜ When she came back, she entered the police academy, very determined with her choice. She wanted to make a difference, to help people, to avoid the death of another little girl by a guy like her father, and let's just say she had always been a tom-boy.
➜ Quickly she showed natural talents on the field, making her coworkers jealous sometimes. A year after she got out of the academy, she entered the MI-5 agency.
➜ She met her fiancé Richard during a case. He was a witness, he asked her our, she first said no, but finally agreed once the case was over. They've been together for more thant a year when he proposed. She was 26 then.
➜ After two years, he broke the engagement with a letter, saying he was sorry to do that to her. She find out he simply went off with his new girlfriend. Since then Mara swore she wouldn't be fooled again by men.
➜ When she was 29, she came across a strange case. That's when she discovered the existence of abnormals. And the Sanctuary network.
➜ Watson offered her to work for the Sanctuary, saying he knows her file. First she said no, not really confortable with the idea of having someone followin her career like that. But after anthoer case where she disagreed with her boss with the settling of the case, he sacked her and she decided to resign, accepting the offer Watson made few weeks earlier.
➜ Since then she's been working as a field officer for the London Sanctuary. She very much enjoys her job and her new found family. For her mother, she works in a private security society, which often led her to travel all around the globe. Handy right ?

hello! my name is Dee! and i'm excited to be here. i've been roleplaying for about 8 years now. other characters on this site that belong to me are none for now. my time zone is GMT. and that's all you need to know about me! oh, and this is what an average post for me looks like:

It was still dark when she opened her eyes this morning. She take a look at the clock on her bedside table, it was five past a few minutes. Too late to go back to sleep, to early to show up at the Sanctuary. So instead of just lying in her bed doing nothing, she decided to go for a run. Once she changed her clothes, she took her keys, her phone (you never know) and her music player and went out. It was cold, but in a few seconds she wouldn't feel it no more. She push her earphones as far as she could and here we go. A nice run of 45 minutes. Always the same path, the same track playing in her ears. A bunch of old classical rock hits, going from Queen to AC/DC. What she likes the most at this hour is the fact that she doesn't come across many people. Except for late drunk party people. An hour later, she comes back to her appartement, heading straight for the bathroom and the shower. She spent half an hour beneath it, to wind up. After that, a good breakfast: toasts, cereals and a huge cup of black coffee. Mara learned to love tea since she came in England, but this morning, she needed coffee.

After that, she headed to the bedroom and left her towel for more suitable clothes. A pair of jeans and a plain red t-shirt, topped with her leather black jacket. It was still early, but she knew she could come across some of the others back there. And even if she doesn't, she'd had plenty of things to do. Searching the police database for any strange case that could be related to an abnormal, read reports from other sanctuaries, read her mails, play some silly game online... But as soon as she walked trough the front door she heard a familiar voice.
" You're here early Mara, did you fall off your bed again ?"
" Very funny but no. Not this time, Declan. How 'bout you, uh ? Did you also fall off your bed or did you stay up all night for a change ? " Both smile then. Morning greetings of their own. She looks over his shoulder, down to the laptop he's holding. "Ow, a folder spoted in Soho ! Shall we go now or d'you prefer to wait 'til he's gone for good ? "
" I was about to call you when you just came. Get the car, I'll be there in a minute. "
" Alright boss. " she answered as she was already heading to the garage, Declan shaking his head in a smile. Always ready to chase abnormals our dear Mara. And this time she promised herself she would drive a little bit slower than usually.
