Mary Sue

Spooky. Lonely. Tender. Playful.

A odd creature that found her existence in a strange supernatural way. Neither ghost or demon, Mary Sue lives in isolation away from people out of fear that they would destroy her. However she truly wants to have a friend.

All things have a beginning and for Mary. Her beginning happened at the Thomas's family farm, when the owner, the kind old man, Eugene Thomas needed a scarecrow as he his wife Sarah happily put together one as a family. They sowed the scarecrow clothes, A wig picked out the farmer like outfit. A fun activity and soon put her on the field to be the guardian. And they gave her the affectionate nickname. Mary Sue.

Straw, rocks, and burlap, and two silly googly eyes along with her blonde wig, and a red sown nose and a sun hat. This was what made Mary Sue. guarding the crops of a field. Not particularly alive. But watching constantly as the world shifted around her. She was at first quite effective at keeping the birds at bay, but like most scarecrows, a few years would pass and the birds became wise that she wasn't actually a human standing in a field. Eugene would decide that it was best for them to give her a early retirement. But Eugene wasn't one to throw away fond memories, Mary was one of the fun projects that he and his wife happily did together, and with most of their sons and daughters now out of the house going to college or starting families of their own. The house was getting quite lonely, so he made Mary a little seat at the kitchen table as a decoration. Something his wife humored finding it quite silly, but she would later start to warm up to also feeling the empty nest syndrome. She happily picked Mary back up when she fell over, fixing her hat. Telling her goodnight.

They happily interacted with her often, telling her jokes like older happy parents, dancing with her, bringing her "food" though it was just hay and rock stuffing so she wouldn't thin out. Though all these interactions would begin to have a affect on her. She began to see, she began to feel. And like a daughter being cared for she began to truly love her creators as if they were her parents. And this feeling was not unprecedented. The Thomas family did find the cute scarecrow to be a joy around in their later years. But Eugene and Sarah never truly thought of her as alive, understandably believing that she was just a scarecrow, though to Mary her existence became lighter and lighter, at first ruffling the straw in her, and even make soft muffled whispers. Sarah was the first one to notice this, though Eugene just thought that maybe some bugs made a nest in the scarecrow.

Later in the afternoon though, they would soon head into the kitchen only to find Mary was gone, at first thinking that it was a bad prank from some of the town youths, though usually no pranks actually had breaking and entering into their home. Only to hear something creaking on the roof. Going outside to see that the scarecrow had somehow managed to climb all the way on top of their home. To Mary this was amazing. She could almost feel the warmth of the sun on her face. But to Thomas family. This was a horrifying experience that an inanimate object that came to life was now on top of their home. Demonic? A ghost? They didn't know which, all they knew was that this thing must of been evil.

Eugene quickly threw a rock. Giving Mary a new sensation of pain. Striking her and causing her googly eyes to pop out. As she rolled off the house. Falling onto the ground. When she stood up, she reached for them. Eugene however would try to ward her off like a foul spirit. Even as her sockets began to cry. She then fell back and slithered off into the fields. Finding her way to a forest as she undid her stitching on her mouth. Finally able to make a noise. And the first noise she made was mournful sobbing. Collapsing into a ball on the dirt as the existence she once craved. Lead to a painful disowning.

Mary would wander the streets of the town albeit moving like a crooked doll as she found a large, abandoned house on the street of Chestod. Going to solemnly shelter herself into it. Questioning her existence and the changes that seemed to be taking place as she became more real by the day. It wasn't as abandoned as she thought it was, as two realtors who she played like a regular scarecrow, as both softly talked about throwing her out with the junk, she scurried into a hiding place in the basement. Sheltering there in a hole in the wall afraid to be destroyed. This was around the time she found her only companion Cherry. A cherry red centipede and her only friend and pet. The little bug being quite loved by her, and often she lets him ride around in her jaw.

Over the years she began to change fully. As she grew to be able to stretch her hands across the crooks and crannies of the house, being able to elongate and steal items with long spindly fingers, often scaring the homeowners accidentally, and causing many people to move out, for the next one to move in. Mix this with how she often taps her fingers on the wood of the house and often she scared many people out. This cemented in her mind that she was ugly, and scary. Tragically The only thing she ever wants is a friend and for someone to accept her as a person. Craving the warmth that she often been denied as she just wants to live. So she tries to watch from a distance, trying her best not to get hurt from them.

Mary's personality is that of a lonely odd monster, though not one that is aggressive or mean. She is rather polite with her words, She never truly means to scare someone just wanting to connect to the humans she finds interesting, even if they are kinda scary to her. The creepy taps on the wall she does often is just a way to try to communicate. She is obsessed with warmth and often seeks it out instinctively often muttering "Warm." when she touches someone. She has been without kindness to the point that any form of it is seen a great gift. She refers to her housemates as "Neighbors" or "roommates." fully willing to share the house, though she accidentally scares most away. She is fully willing to hide herself away if someone asks her to, even if it would devastate her knowing she was that scary. However if someone tries to communicate back, like tapping back to her when she taps, she will often playfully respond back. Hoping to earn their trust to reveal herself to them. She is quite affectionate and easily excitable. And easily flustered when interacting with someone, however she is quite melancholic when she feels lonely. Her favorite drink is hot chocolate being able to drink mutiple mugs of the stuff.

Mary's appearance has evolved beyond just a simple scarecrow. Pale blue skin and long black hair that covers her face in a spooky way. Her eyes are hollow, yet very expressive with how they move and she has a muzzle like mouth very similar to a anthro creature sometimes toothless, other times completely filled ear to ear with her teeth, her body can elongate along with her neck, and her ears are quite floppy, being like a goat. When she isn't elongated, her body is a boney skeleton like shape, with a good amount of curves. though she is shy to show it to people. Her blushes are shadowy colored. And her body is quite cold usually. But can heat up to be warm if given a good amount of affection. She also has a cute collection of dresses, though she will only wear them for friends.
