Past:

Mara was raised by her mother, Kasairi and her older sisters, Kandra and Eevy, among a tribe of canopy fairies somewhere around Deeper Felarya. She did not know her father growing up, as he'd left before her birth. During her early childhood her siblings too left the tribe to join others.

Later in her teenage years, she was with her mother when a swarm of giant insects chaotically swarmed the section of forest they called home. Unable to face the insect pursuers, they were driven away and separated from one another. On her own, Mara flew far away in fear of the ravenous swarm. Driven southward by the swarm, she kept going out of fear. Eventually near the Misty Glade, she encountered the naga Janev, who led Mara to a nearby tribe of mist fairies who allowed her to live among them. Over time she learned some of their magic to do with illusions and other such studies.

She was rather insecure due to not being able to find her mother. Unable to rejoin her, she didn't wander far from where she ended up. Many years later, she became proficient with the magic techniques used by the local fairies, and gradually gained confidence and maturity with time as well.

She and Janev were one day exploring the area of a temple ruin to both hunt and fool around. But when they couldn't find anything to eat on the outside, Mara decided she would go in to try flushing out potential prey. Things did not go smoothly, as there was a large fight going on deep within the temple, causing the aging structure to become more unstable. Mara was trapped somewhere inside. This is where she met the elven Archmage, Bael, who was searching for items on that level for a friend of his.

When both Mara and Bael met up, they decided to work together to get out of the temple, since she was more worried about escaping the temple than eating the elf she could get help from. Luckily for Bael, by the time they got out Mara had developed an interest in him that kept him from being eaten by either predator. Ever since, she seems to have had a crush on the elf.

Later on in her life, Mara was making her way through a rather unstable dimensional part of the gigantic forests. During her travel, a pocket-dimension storm built up and released its energies into the surrounding area, drawing her to the park. Ever since then she has been living here, eating the locals, and hoping she will meet the one she loves. Mara may have to face the facts though, and search for someone else she could be intimate with...

Due to the traumatic events of being separated from her family when she was young, she's conflicted often about spending time to look for them now she's more confident of herself, and between making a family to make up for the one she lost. She sympathizes with those who've gone through similar experiences, and her love for her friends are incredibly deep. She has a complex ethical and social psychology.

Mara takes after her father, making her a crimson maiden and has the spirit of a fierce warrior. When pissed off, Crimson Maidens become some of the most fearsome and intimidating enemies one could fight. They live near warm areas, but when Mara fled, she learned ice and illusion magic because the tribe of fairies she lived with are vastly different.

Personality

Mara has become extremely playful, and has learned cultural jokes living with canopy and then mist fairies for the majority of her life. Her jokes might often seem a little harsh toward humans, nekos, and elves, but there is always an underlying tone of affection toward those she cares for. One of Mara's key traits is her apparent naïvity, while she is really pretty intelligent. Mara loves utilizing all the magics she knows when hunting, employing illusion magic to confuse and disorient her prey, sometimes to the point of excessiveness before eating them. Mara tries to form strong attachments with friends but is usually wary of people before those she's unfamiliar with. She's normally difficult to faze emotionally. However, she doesn't seem to want to leave Bael's side out of separation with him, as what happened to her mother and siblings long ago.

Oh yeah, she's also a cheater, but she doesn't see it that way because its all a part of her body, so its fair to her. Arguing will only put you deeper into her gut.
