* ; — welcome , MARINA ANDRIESKI . a long way from the magicians , huh ? hm … a twenty - six year old diagon alley store employee who looks like KACEY ROHL — could be worse . i heard you were at THE FACTORY when we un - glitched , & you ( bought yourself a drink ] . still the analytical & self - serving type , that’s why [ red lipstick smudged on pale skin , a flicker of a candle's flame , & heeled boots echoing on tiled floor ]’s totally your vibe . the memory of BEING MURDERED BY REYNARD is hazy , but maybe the ( moonstone ring & black cat familiar , cupcake ) waiting for you at the pawn shop’ll bring clarity . + witch , genderfluid [ she/they ] , pansexual .
tws : death , rape / sexual assault
BEGINNING — born marina andrieski , she lived in new york all her life . she had a family that she doesn't care to remember , a father she doesn't want to remember . for all she cares about , her life only mattered post - brakebills . she could have come into her own , there . but , she had gotten expelled , disgraced by dean fogg . they had taken her memories away from her , but a freak accident left her with her realisation of magic once more . with her sudden realisation back , she groomed her magic , becoming a hedge witch as she scoured places for spells to gain higher star levels , so much so that she opened a safehouse . a fellow hedge witch , hannah , had gotten into her debt due to constant favours , and marina used it for her advantage , using hannah's daughter to smuggle objects and texts out of brakebills . she met a woman named julia wicker and became fascinated by her . she took on the role of a mentorship to her , training her in magic as she used her to sneak into brakebills to get her memories and knowledge back . however , julia turns and betrays her , and marina expels her from the safehouse , burning the stars she received in her time with her . julia and hannah meet and plot against marina , planning to steal her magical archive , only for marina to plant a trap to kill hannah in retribution . confronting julia , she apologised before warning her against messing with her . the two would not cross paths until marina was contacted by julia after she had been raped by reynard the fox , a god who tricked our lady underground who proceeded to kill almost all of the coven members . worried about her , marina offered to help , agreeing to wipe her memories . in a plan to stop reynard , marina would be used as bait . she performed the ritual to lure out reynard but was stalked to her apartment , having had set wards up without realising the god had followed her . he attacked her , biting her fingers off and killing her cat . she was able to break free of the binding spell , but was left to fend for herself against the god . as for what happened afterwards ... the easy answer is she died . how much she suffered prior to that ? well .
MIDDLE — marina still goes by marina andrieski in her life in the cloud . after one too many coincidences , she realised she had magic and started honing it . she had gotten the letter to go to hogwarts and had initially rejected it . the thought of going to an institution to learn magic made something churn heavy in her chest , instead learning magic through magical items themselves . she had been asked again to attend as a university , and -- only then -- did she agree . she graduated and set up shop working in dark arts and oddities in diagon alley .
END — marina remembers everything , even to her untimely death . it was terrifying , it was unnerving , and the pain weighing down on her , still , ��phantom aches , is indescribable . while she had initially brushed off the memories by grabbing a drink at the factory , it wasn't enough to tear her mind away from her new found reality . it was almost -- almost -- enough for her to have a breakdown . she would have , probably , had she not been in public . the feeling of loss , of violation , of agony ; it's not one that she'll ever get rid of . it's as if the curtain veil is gone , sees everything with clarity , now . it's odd to her , to have gone to hogwarts , wonders vaguely if the life she has now would be at all the life she would have had if she had graduated cleanly from brakebills . she doesn't regret being a hedge witch , though , and with all of her memories back ... if a trinket in diagon alley goes missing every now and then -- is it really anyone's business , but her own ? she has free range over her magic , again , and while she isn't planning a reckoning : she is going to be taking the reins back on her life . she just has to figure out what she wants to do next . she's got time for that , after all .
SCRIBBLED IN THE MARGIN —
DESPERATE TO CONNECT ,
parents / siblings ; you know the drill , adopted or ‘ biological ’ ! she was an only child in her original family , so it’d be fun for her to have someone in the cloud that might just be able to be the closest thing to family for her .
hookups ; ( m/f/nb ) , whether they be active hookups , past hookups , one night stands or even a friends with benefits situation going wrong ; she’s definitely gotten around in the cloud , and it’s not like she has any regrets about that .
friends ; while marina is staunch in her beliefs that she doesn't really have friends , she has people she uses as acquaintances , it’d be cool for her to have people she actually has weak spots for . or , even someone she can be a bad influence to .
former classmates ; marina went to hogwarts for her university level education and went to the non - magical schools otherwise ! it'd be cool to have her run into some of them whether they were friendly or adversary .
mentee ; marina was a powerful witch even before the veil was lifted , and with her full knowledge from her time as a hedge witch back ? she’s an incredibly strong and competent witch , it’d be fun for her to have a student she can take on .
exes ; ( m/f/nb ) , suffice to say , marina probably isn’t an easy person to have a relationship with . she’s not above using people just to feel something . whether it ended amicably or horribly , if you need an ex ? she's around !
