Hi I am poking you back lmao. I kinda recall you mentioning that Judas and Maggy knew eachother? Maybe? I might be misremembering but I’m still curious to hear your take on her. Is she the biblical Magdalene? Just a kid with her name?

yup, she's the same Magdalene as in the Bibble. All Biblical characters are the same ones, the only exception being Isaac (and Beth, but she's not mentioned as much in the Bible and is often confused for Magdalene because they're both named Mary- dear Lord this book and religion is a mess).

You'll forgive me if I ramble about her right? Right?? (/ω＼*)……… (/ω•＼*)

!!!Tw mention of transphobia, and sexual exploitation!!! (no I am not joking!)

Magdalene was pretty much facing only one of two choices when looking at her life: live as a man, being able to do whatever job she wished, living with her family but repressing something she felt would make her truly happy, or live as a woman, castet out of the bloodline, and unless she found someone willing to marry her, have to live off of sex work. Maggie, burnt out from what her life had been so far, chooses the second option, willing to fake it till she makes it.

So she contacts some other sex workers about it as soon as she runs out of the house, but unfortunately runs into some terrible people, not someone who'd help her but someone who only cared about, well, making her work. She spent months just letting herself be used, as for a time they'd told her to just hold off, that they'll give her the money, but after a while she stops believing it too. But confronting them might mean being outed to Roman Guards, or worse, the Sinagogue, so she kept quiet.

One day, a fight still breaks out, and she's being yelled and kicked and bruised by some of those people, until a group of kind strangers basically step in between them and tell them to buzz off. She's still on the ground when one of them helps her up, saying his name was Mark and asking if she's ok, if they can accompany her home. She answers she doesn't really have a home, so one of them just says "well, I suppose you'll stay with us for a while." That guy was Christian Firestar Jesus of Nazareth.

So as she stays and travels with them, Jesus helps her through the trauma and emotions that come with all that happened. He also understands that being a girl makes her happy, happier than she'd ever be staying a boy, so he sees no reason why that should be a sin against God. He tells the others this as well, and all are accepting... but Peter was having doubts about her, mostly because she got incredibly attached to Jesus, his best friend, and his mother would sometimes joke on how they'd make a nice pair if he ever wished to marry. He's jealous in a "do not steal my bro away" but Maggie never saw anything more than a dearest friend in Jesus, plus she was earnestly interested in someone else in the group (hint hint).

So yeah, Maggie saw everything from Judas' betrayal, the crucifiction, Judas' death, the resurrection, and ascension. And to be frank she was excited about the prospect of going to preach around!... until Peter started being very, incredibly condescending towards her, especially with saying that if someone found out she was gonna make all of them look bad, and they were on thin fucking ice already with the authorities. He pretty much confined her to (Mother) Mary's house, and she could not stand it. She should not listen to him, he's not Jesus, he's just an asshat that has been bitter about her since the start!

So, she tries to go back to her old line of work, at least enough to get money to actually start travelling to preach about Jesus, on her own. She tries doing it without help, but is killed by one of her client's spouse in a jealous rage. In those moments between life and death, she start fearing, truly, being alone. So when she wakes and isn't in the place her friend had described as Heaven she's, for the most part, sad. She knew she was told to follow what Peter said, and actively disregarded that, but she was not a bad person after all. Was it because of her body? Was it because of prostitution? She screamed questions in the void of Limbo, but no one answered. She hated the loneliness.

(sidenote: Limbo in this AU is a place where Souls that can neither go to Heaven not Hell go, whose who have not repented and therefore cannot go to Purgatory, but also have not commited any terrible enough sins or still had faith in their actions' holiness. It's an emboy, foggy, vast plane with absolutely nothing in it, and you'll rarely meet another person there. It's truly the place for those who don't belong.)

So she ends up in the Basement, and decides to try not to cry over herself as soon as she finds someone that isn't a mindless zombie-thing. That how she ends up meeting the others and becoming the resident big sister of the group. However, some of the trauma start to resurface again, causing her to have horrible panic attacks out of nowhere, cuz PTSD is a bitch. Luckily nobody in the group questions her gender (Isaac goes to ask her about it a lot, but mostly for tips) and they do try to help her through the panic attacks, especially Eve.

And then one day the group meets Lazarus and Bethany and they're like

and then Judas starts messing things up, and he shows up to try to take Isaac with him and she's like

The fact that Judas kidnaps her later does not help mend their relationship at first!

Also her Yum Heart is, in fact, a whole ass heart, and the blood drawn from it helps to cure wounds. It's missing a chunk cuz she was not sure what to do with it at first. Hey, experimenting works （*゜ー゜*）

Sooo yeah I'd talk more but I don't wanna fill everything with spoilers, what I will say is that she gets comfy socks and a bigass shield in the end!
