Mari McKay

Mari McKay is a character role-played by ChandraViperdae.
==General Description==
Mari McKay, a former Deputy Mayor and once member of HOA, has returned to Los Santos after a grueling five year mission - a failed search for her missing husband, KJ. 
During the initial years following KJ's sudden move to Norway, the couple did their best to keep in touch but soon, the calls became less and less - before stopping completely. Mari was distraught, not knowing if the man she loved was dead, alive, busy...or what. She always holds a place for him in her heart, but time heals all wounds. Or at least - in this case, threw a band-aid on it.
Mari is someone who thrives when she has people she cares about, and people to protect. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true, she struggles when alone - and despite constantly putting up a strong front she could quite easily crumble. To alliterate that, she drinks. A lot. Lessened only by her new smoking habit. 
The people she once trusted, and called family all left. One by one. 
Mari will be nice, amicable, some may even still call her one of the kindest people they ever met. But don't expect her to call you a friend, nor for her to talk about herself. For Mari has chosen to close herself off. It's easier. Safer.
Mari is ferociously loyal to those who do her good, and would never betray them. But her trust is easily broken.
What had she done in those five years? Good luck getting that information out of her.
==Background Information==
Mari lived in a rural fishing town in Australia. With her mother. grandmother, and youngest sister. An unremarkable and boring life for most of her time but there a few key events that stand out. 
At age 15- Mari was on a trip with school friends in the wilderness. They, in a cruel joke, drove off and left her there. Mari was lost and spent three days surviving on her own. She had to kill, cook, and eat native fauna and flora and describes the time as 'literally shitty' due to this, Mari doesn't shy away from interesting foods - and even developed a curiosity for what all kinds of meats taste like. She also learned that not everyone is her friend. 
At age 18 - Her family went on an overnight fishing trip, a usual occurrence for them - they were caught in a flash storm. Her and her youngest sister (Nellie- Age 5) went overboard. Mari was rescued but her sister was lost. Mari blames herself for this, and wishes that she was taken by the sea instead. Mari is wracked by guilt of being saved over someone so young. Mari used a mixture of Alcohol, codeine, oxy, and prescription drugs, and reckless behavior to cope with this. 
Her mother had remarried and Mari, along with her new family moved to the United States. However, feeling displaced, Mari chose to move to a different city, Los Santos. She wanted a complete change of scenery and a fresh start to help her move on from tragic events.
