𝓌𝑜𝓁𝒻 𝒶𝓅𝓅 ( laura harrier. cisfemale, she/her, stay alive + josé gonzález . ) that's MARA COLEMAN hanging in that gang of friends? i heard they’re a part of NO PACK. rumor has it they're TWENTY-SEVEN years old. currently, they’re posing as a NURSE at ST. BARNABAS HOSPITAL, and during dark you can always find them going home to THE BRONX by METRO.

hello hello! my name is casie and i’ll be writing for my sweet angel here, mara! i’m super excited to jump in and get to know you guys and your characters, so if you’d like to plot go ahead and give this a like or shoot me an im and i’ll come at you! (sorry this got super long; if you don’t feel like reading just jump to the first bolded section and read on from there! she’s been living in the bronx for a while is basically all you need to know from the top portion.

mara was born to a french-canadian mother and american father. her father had been on a business trip and her conception was a major secret oopsie. her father had a young family at the time and couldn’t bring her and her mother home with him but he stayed in very close contact and her mother even decided to give mara his last name. 

she had a relatively happy childhood in montreal until her mom got sick and sent her to live with her father in new york when it became clear she couldn’t take care of her any longer. she was ten at the time and her dad had long since divorced his wife and been granted partial custody of his other kids.

she was a cheerful and charismatic kid and adjusted to her circumstances as well as could be expected. perfecting her english was a pain in the ass and her step siblings abhored her for a time, but she made friends at school and in the neighborhood and in less than a year she was fully functioning in her new home. 

her mother passed away when she was fourteen and that trip back to montreal was her last. her mom had been a very loving and gentle person and her death had a massive impact on mara; she made it her life goal to be the same force of good on the world that she had been.

her dad got laid off during a recession and their living situation dipped quite a bit for a little while. his other kids opted to stay with their mom because their apartment wasn’t exactly located in a great location, but it was enough for mara. she had her own room and they ate well and had ac and heat and that was all she really needed.

she worked at a local restaurant as a waitress all the way through high school and joined as many clubs as she could. her grades were excellent and she had plenty of friends. she even managed to find time for a couple of dates over the years.

she went to nyu for nursing on a full ride via her applying to a million different scholarships and programs and, just like high school, she worked her ass off and got out near the top of her class.

she stayed with her dad for a couple years after that until she’d saved enough to have a good start at which point she found herself her own little apartment and moved out and that’s where she’s been ever since.

a series of unfortunate events:

she suffered a very severe case of ‘wrong place wrong time’ one particular night a few weeks ago. she’d been dead tired walking home from work because she’d forgotten her metro card and hadn’t brought her bike due to the rain.

what happened happened very fast and she still isn’t sure she has a very good grasp of it. once second she was walking home and the next she was knocked to the ground, a giant wolf on top of her  with its teeth digging into her right thigh. she screamed, of course, but the alley was dark and the bars around were blasting music too loud. 

there were two other people*** there, both managed to drag the wolf off of her and fight it back. she didn’t want to stick around; she’d realized they had weapons of their own.

she made it back to her own apartment, staunching the blood as much as she could by tying her jacket around her leg, and she managed to clean the wound and wrap it up before she passed out. 

she had a pretty bad limp for about a week but the bite mark healed into a nasty scar. she chose not to think about it. a wolf in new york city? not a thing. nobody would believe her, even her dad who saw her bite wasn’t sure what to say about it.

her problem, of course, didn’t continue until the first full moon after that. she remembers a lot of pain, confusion, and fear. and then nothing. she woke up the next day in an alley with someone** by her side and her life’s been in a tailspin ever since.

personality/miscellaneous: 

she’s an absolute sweetheart; she would literally give someone the shirt off her back (and you can bet your ass she’s given away coats and shoes before).

she’s very charismatic and typically pretty popular. she has a quiet strength about her, but not necessarily a toughness.

she has a cat named ami. she bounced into her home through the window one summer day and hasn’t left since (though recently ami’s been more than a little pensive about her presence).

almost always has her earbuds in playing lofi music on her trips to and from work.

she speaks fluent english and canadian french. her accent still leans french but it’s a lot milder than it used to be.

she is the best cook she knows and if she cooks for you, it’s definitely an act of love. 

she picks up way more shifts than she probably should and always has a soft, somewhat sleepy presence when she isn’t actually working.

probably smells like vanilla and oranges quite a bit.

bisexual + panromantic

possible plots:

the two hunters that were there when she was attacked*** (1/2)

the wolf that caught her and managed to somewhat contain her when she first turned and who stayed with her until the morning; probably will be a sort of mentor and protector until she has a better understanding of what’s going on**

friends from high school, college, and/or work

a roommate

someone she’s met through her work in the er

neighbors

family friends

her step siblings (probably 2)

any romantic/ex-romantic plots (fwbs, exes, unrequited, will they won’t they, etc etc etc)

someone she helps regularly or vice versa (small things, like maybe they take turns buying each other coffee bc they run into each other at the coffeeshop a lot? idk)

i’m 110% down for brainstorming or filling any wanted connections you guys have open rn. i’ll probably try and get a formal page up this weekend!
