__TOC__
==General Attributes==
===General Description===
Mary Mushkin is a Business woman and potentially the richest person in the city by day and infamous street racer by night. She owns multiple successful businesses under the Umbrella of Procyon, most notably Mushkin's Motors and Procyon Motorsports (formerly the Tuner shop). 
She is heavily involved in the illegal street racing scene, previously under the alias R3dD3vil until her arrest when she changed to Shinigami. Having grown tired of drama surrounding the racing scene, she has stepped away as one of it's official leaders alongside Eddie Marshall, she is still one of the scenes most respected figures but now focuses on running her own racing crew Yokai. 
Mary is married to Alex Domino a Guild and Yokai member and the former Shadow Mayor.
===Personality/Motivations===
Mary presents herself to the public as a shrewd and determined business woman with the personality of a bubbly silly and innocent -year-old. Although many people are surprised at her young age due to her success. She is a very boastful person and likes to flaunt her success to others, whether that’s showing off her wealth and car collection or taunting the cops for not catching her. She often exaggerates her achievements, whether that’s net worth or something else but there is always truth behind it. Despite her public persona Mary is incredibly closed off and paranoid, and shares very little of her personal secrets or vulnerabilities, even to those closest to her. 
She can be blunt and honest to a fault often coming across as unapproachable or scary to those who don't know her. Her honesty is often disbelieved and taken as manipulation, in a city full of liars her honesty is often perceived as having an ulterior motive when none is there. Mary tends to avoid unnecessary conflict and if she is made aware tries to resolve via conversation first before resorting to more drastic measures. Due to her shrewd business sense, she often comes out on top in such scenarios
However, Mary is not all peaceful, she has a dark and violent side to her, often presented to others as Shinigami. She can be cold violent and ruthless to those that cross her. She is generally forgiving if people show remorse or a desire to change but if someone crosses the line or she has been tasked, she doesn't hesitate and acts with ruthless precision.
Previously Mary had a chip in her brain, that began to develop its own personality LilM. The chip absorbed all her painful and violent memories building a persona based on trauma. With the only positive memories being that of BigM. LilM had the sole goal of avenging his death by killing the PM no matter the cost to Mary or those around her. When Mary became aware of this, she had the chip removed and also lost most of those memories stored on it, most notably forgetting BigM and her hate for the PM. Although the chip was removed, remnants of LilM remained part of her and would sometimes take over. However, these became less common over time and by now what was left has become absorbed into Mary amplifying some of dark and violent tendencies.
One of Mary's main motives is her desire for validation and praise, having received none from her Father growing up. This is the reason for her boasting, to show her achievements In the hopes of recognition. She latches on to father figures trying to fill the void inside her, and pushes herself to achieve goals that relate to them in an attempt at recognition and heavily focuses on those that she has received positive affirmations. Whether that was success at racing, business or the enforcing she did for the PM. Although it is often not good enough, with people one upping her, dismissing her achievements, or feeling like she is insulting them. Mary goes above and beyond to try and impress; however, this can lead to her seeming overbearing. Throughout her life many of the people she looked up to and considered family ended up abandoning her. 
Mary wants to be for others what she never had and created Yokai to be that family. One that is loyal to one another and won't leave her. Mary has always been a natural follower and excels when given goals and targets fulfilling them as best, she can. Although not a natural leader, Mary tries her best and has grown into the role as Oyabun of Yokai after struggling initially, stepping out of the shadows of her previous mentors into a strong and capable leader.
With Mary being abandoned multiple times throughout her life, only one constant has remained, the PM who calls her "My sweet devil, daughter of chaos". A person who has a great influence of Mary, but not always a positive one. He amplifies her desire for control, and encourages violence and manipulation. With few other mentors remaining and those close to Mary (or Mary herself) not recognising/or knowing how to stop her, Mary descended increasingly into her delusions. Mary became obsessed with becoming a god, believing she was truly Shinigami the god of death and aimed to save herself and those she cared about by creating immortality. She desired to never be abandoned again and to be worshiped.
However, her god complex and her loyalty and trust in the PM came into doubt after the S++ incident, realising that his influence and her ego was not always positive, since then Mary has searched for other more positive influences in her life, one of these surprisingly found in the lifer Dez, who warned her about reliance on violence and how to channel her ego

==Background==
Mary believes she is a clone created by “Prime Mary”, a Mary from a different dimension in the future, who developed clones of herself to send them back in time to create empires and take over the multiverse, Mary believes she is clone 002 and was unknowingly placed into this timeline to live a full life from a child.
Mary was born in Vice City and was raised by the servants of her rich father Lucius Mushkin alongside her brother Kanye. She received very little attention and even less affection from her father, who spent all his time focusing on his business. In an attempt to get his attention and prove her worth she decided to steal money from him, as that was all she knew he cared for. This backfired with her father disowning her and reporting her to the FBI for stealing $2M from him via wire fraud, this landed her in federal prison for 6 months and left her with nothing, so she moved to Los Santos to start anew as a young 18-year-old trying to find her own way in the world.
She ended up working as a dancer for the Vanilla Unicorn, becoming one of the clubs best entertainers through her method of stripper therapy and backalley services, earning her way into her own personal poster on the outside of the club.
She eventually managed to gather up enough money to be able to afford her first vehicle, a second-hand old and rusted surfer van. Mary worked as a dancer at nights while during the day she could usually be seen driving around the city in her van, looking for various ways to earn a little extra money on the side from hunting to selling moonshine and silencers, she worked her way from the bottom to the very top of the city becoming the richest woman in the city through hard work and determination.
==Key Events==
Getting Started
Mary believes she is a clone created by “Prime Mary”, a Mary from a different dimension in the future, who developed clones of herself to send them back in time to create empires and take over the multiverse, Mary believes she is clone 002 and was unknowingly placed into this timeline to live a full life from a child.
When Mary first entered the city with no money or direction, except a dream to make something of herself. She began by working as a dancer for the Vanilla Unicorn, becoming one of the clubs’ best entertainers through her method of stripper therapy and back alley services, earning her way into her own personal poster on the outside of the club. Alongside this she had a job working at Digital Den and in her spare time went hunting to make extra cash.
Mary always had an interest in racing but never new how to start, until Tony Corleone showed her how to steal a car and invited her to race. She showed promise from the start, battling with the established racers and winning races. However, the it wasn’t all fun, she was arrested in a controversial arrest where she was identified by Trooper Snow sometime after a race taking an injured racer to hospital, by her tattoos and red hair. The police had been taking pictures of the races and thought she looked familiar so arrested her despite being masked in the photos, she took the case to trial however due to her lawyer’s incompetence lost the case and was unable to appeal. Since that day she has a deep distrust of Police and took her secrecy a lot more seriously including covering up more and using voice changes. Since then, she has never been caught racing.
When the casino opened Mary was hired as entertainment, during this she met Eddie Marshall, who became drunk and threw up over her. Together they bonded over racing, initially he flirted with her but after learning her age it became more protective, and became start of a family bond between the two. Their bond developed into something that was family in all but blood, Mary truly felt he was an uncle to her
With the closure of the VU and leaving Digital Den, Mary focused even more on racing and as one of the city’s most successful and infamous racers she managed to earn nearly all her money racing eventually progressing to purchasing her own car a Penumbra FF. her close connection with Eddie allowed her to become one of the first people in the city to customize her car, and create the iconic red penumbra.  Not long later the racing app was introduced in Los Santos and allowed racers many new options, including mapped tracks and leader boards, but most excitingly official aliases. Mary chose R3dD3vil for her alias despite previously going by Z00M3R. She chose this after talking with Cheddar who claimed that her car must be possessed by the devil, so she must be the red devil.
Due to her success in racing she quickly drew the eyes of the Puppet Master, the mysterious shadow leader of the race scene.
Her first encounter with him was an anonymous call after her first arrest, he outlined who he was and his goals of CHAOS, and asked her to sneak a message into her court case, that the PDs strings were being pulled, A message that Trooper Snow immediately caught on to.
The Death Race
Impressed by Mary the Puppet Master had tasks for her. Her first mission from the PM was to steal high powered cars had recently entered the city and deliver their contents to him. The cars were a Mustang and an E46 GTR Together with Chip, Cheddar and Finlay they killed the owners and stole the cars before disabling the trackers on them and evading police. They then saw the contents of the cars, multiple dismembered body parts. The PM called them that the job was not yet done and that they must race the cars. On his track. PM initiation. The loser would be punished.
Mary chose the Mustang with Cheddar passenger and Finlay the BMW with Chip. The track was a gruelling endurance track covering the entire island, but Mary won the race. The PM congratulated her, while the others were beaten, placing Finlay in the ICU for months. Mary delivered the cars and got to meet the “PM”, a man in a skull mask in the back of a limo with a microphone inside to speak the PMs words. As they left the cars were blown up.
Off Limits
The PMs Puppets showed themselves sporadically to the people of Los Santos. On one such occasion Godzilla joined a race that Mary was in. During the race Mary accidently pit Godzilla’s R35. At the end of the race, he searched for the car that hit him and shouted at to get away from it before filling the car with bullets. Mary later received a call from the PM and she apologised profusely, however he responded that that shouldn’t have happened and she was “off limits”. Mary later learnt that Godzilla had been killed. The exact reason was never told to her but she believing it was related
Midnight Club
Her racing also caught the attention of Eddie Marshall the notorious street racer Titanium, together they formed the Midnight Club, a racing club meant to embrace the best the race scene has to offer, together they created the track Midnight initiation and invited select racers into the club. Due to the club’s reputation in the race scene, it became the defacto leader of all racing positioning herself as one of the most powerful racers and people in the city.
The first and only Midnight club event was the Midnight heat a weeklong event organised by Mary and Eddie  where competitors raced for a chance to claim themselves the midnights heats champion along, via multiple daily heats ending with a knockout tournament with a large cash and GNE prize, the winner was Phantom after Titanium crashed a GTR R35 into the dam, after this a wildcard race was held to with best racers of the series to find a racer to  race 1v1 against Big M for the chance to win a vin scratched S15 the winner was Goofy who failed to capitalise and lost the race against Big M.
As the scene grew so did the expectations on the club, despites its intentions never being to manage the race scene that was what it was perceived as, resulting in every minor complaint being directed towards the club. With most members not taking initiative the pressure built on R3d and Titanium and after a 2-day suspension of racing, to decide on the direction to take the race scene, the midnight club was dissolved in favour of a council of clubs via a vote. Following this the track Midnight initiation was deleted as it was no longer needed.  
Race creation
Still impressed by Mary the PM called her one day while on the starting line of a race, with the simple demand, WIN. Mary raced one of her most important races of her life battling closely but eventually finishing a close first. She received a ping to an abandoned R34 with the trunk open, inside was a dongle. Confused, Mary looked around and saw a shadowy figure who told her to leave.
Mary then received a call from the PM himself explain that this dongle gave her the power to create her own tracks on his app, and enabled her more to enforce his rules on the racing scene, something that she had been doing anyway, however now she had the backing of the PM himself.
Jet Race
Mary received a call from the PM to bring 2 racers for a special race, a game of cat and mouse, keep eyes as long as you can. The race start location was a dirt road beside the Alamo Sea. Mary and Alex and Stewie met at the start and waited. Eventually a VTOL jet showed up and the race began. Together they chased the jet, one by one loosing eyes until only Mary remained, she continued to chase as the jet perfumed multiple stunts. With the chase eventually ending on the beach. As the jet stopped in a hover before flying of over the sea, un-chaseable. She received another call from the PM who congratulated her and rewarded her some GNE.
F1 Boost
One day a new Puppet showed up at a race start, BigM. With a task for the best. Goofy and Mary finished 1st and 2nd and Tony not far behind. They met and BigM explained that they would be stealing an F1 car that would be used as parts for Lang’s custom DeLorean.
The owner of the DeLorean was tracked down to an apartment. Building and to get the car they needed to extract him. The trio plus Lang flew to the apartment and distracted the guards with shoes to extract the owner, Igor. Who then preceded to tell them they needed to go back and get his laptop. They again snuck into the apartment and stole the laptop, which allowed them to track the car to a house in Vinewood.
The crew snuck in, killed the guards, stole the car and gave Goofy the keys. As they began to drive away more guards on bikes who opened fire on them, the crew took care of them as Goofy drove away. While Goofy was driving the cars tracker was disabling, however he crashed and ejected. Mary managed to find him after he went silent on the radio, the car was being swarmed by bikers again, which the crew again killed however the Cops had arrived. Mary snuck into the car and stole it from under the PDs eyes and drove away in the damaged car that was missing a tire.
She managed to escape and evade the cops and get the tracker disabled. The crew regrouped and delivered the car to Razor for disassembly. However, the PM wasn’t completely happy, for Goofy failure he demanded the crew break his legs to receive payment.
Boosting Enforcement
Following the F1 boost, boosting was released to the masses. And the PM needed enforcers. Mary was an obvious choice with her past work. Alongside this Mary spent time boosting herself and became the first person to scratch a car for the PM, an Elegy that she still owns to this day. She spent lots of time with BigM as a result becoming close to him, even inviting him to the Midnight heats as an ultimate challenge for the competitors. Mary became closer to BigM, even learning his true name Marcus Mathers, than the PM despite becoming his "Sweet causer of chaos". For her successful work she received little in return and grew resentful this was only enhanced by his threats towards her when demanding GNE payments from the Tuner Shop. and solidified with the death of BigM.
The Tuner Shop
Mary Mushkin is the Chief Sales Officer at the 6STR Tuner Shop and 4% shareholder after investing $150k. The shop is owned by Eddie Marshall and alongside Tommy Cruizer they make up the 3 heads of the shop. Since the shops opening Mary spends most of her time managing the shop and babysitting her colleagues, resulting in her having little time to race but creating a new reputation as a capable business woman impressing other powerful people in the city like Cerberus.
 
Remember The Name
Following the opening of the Tuner shop the price of GNE soared to new heights causing a surge of new racers on the scene. In an attempt to reduce the price and chaos in the scene Marlo Stanfield and BigM fully stocked bennies resulting in the crash of the GNE market. The PM was incredibly angry and due to the price loss, the PM increased the tuner shops GNE quota from 20k to 60k a month to gain the same value. During this conversation Mary realised that she was not as special to the PM as she had once thought and was only a tool for him to use. He emphasised this by having a sniper fired at her. However, BigM was the trigger man a prewarned her giving her a chance to flee, although he still hit Tommy Cruizer due to Tommy trying to act brave and not run.
Throughout the day Mary had conversations with both the PM and BigM. The PM trying to find answers and BigM connecting more with Mary. Big M and Mary had bonded during their time carrying out the PMs orders and she revealed she looks up to him and likes to call herself Lil M due to their matching initials and work they do.
The PM eventually learned of BigMs involvement and BigM feared for his life asking Mary to act as overwatch for him. Tony tried to create an elaborate plan to fake his death however, both BigM and Tony were shot by a sniper on the PMs orders by Shurai, with BigM dying as a result.
His death hit her hard and turned her against the PM, making Lil M as a new alias to fight back against him wearing a red version of his mask with added tears. Something that would come back to haunt her later.
Soon after his death Mary was called by a new puppet Earl reminding her who had control and that she could be reduced to just a name on a dongle. Not long later a Bugatti drove past the Tuner Shop and a mysterious man got out and placed an item on the floor. After he left mary picked up what he had left. A dongle. Belonging to BigM.
 
Yokai
Following the dissolving of the midnight club Eddie and Mary formed the racing crew Yokai. Yokai refers to Japanese spirits, legends and demons and was chosen due to both of their close relation to the subject, Eddie with Titanium’s Oni mask and Mary with the Alias R3dD3vil. The crew will be identifiable with its use of blacklight neon’s and headlights, marking the first deviation from red since she started racing. Members of Yokai will also claim a specific Yokai as their own. Titanium claimed Oni and Mary Shinigami, the supernatural spirits that invite humans toward death.  
Another change to Marys racing identity came following the death of Big M, in the aftermath she was approached by a mysterious figure later revealed to be Tao Chen who requested her help gathering resources to repair Big Ms mask for Tony in return he created a custom mask for Mary. The mask is a red interpretation of Ms mask with added tears. Initially this was intended to only be used when appearing under the Lil M alias she instead adopted it for R3dD3vil, dropping her signature Bigness mask and helmet, to make it more known in the city.
Mary has since invited Mayumi Himura(Samurai), Fiona Stewart(Silver) and Tommy Cruizer(Slapjack) to join Yokai as the first members. May choose Kitsune, Fiona choose Yuki onna and Tommy choose Ikuchi as their Yokai. Since then yokai has grown larger than Mary ever imagined.
GNE drop off 1
A few months after the Tuner Shop opened Mary got a call from Earl to prepare for the first GNE delivery in the coming days. A few days later she was contacted by him again to deliver 100,000 GNE as soon as possible as was pinged a location near the lighthouse. And together with Chip, Lucas, Mayumi, Goofy, and AP delivered 2 vans to Earl. This was the first time Mary had met Earl and he warned her that he was not a person she could befriend like BigM and he was not one to be swayed away from his work.
Earl then had Mary drive the vans to the lighthouse where he destroyed them both with an RPG. Claiming the less GNE in circulation the higher the value would be. before driving of in his Bugatti
Mayoral Run
After the impeachment and removal from office of Mayor Abdul, Mary decided on a whim to run for Mayor in the December 2021 Election. 
Her key policies were: 
*Increased mechanic pay via government subsidies
*Removal of speed limits on the highways
*Increased budgets for state departments
*Decreased personal income tax
*State impound sales
*And support for local businesses
Mary was unable to campaign much during the election and received 7% (67) of the votes and came 5th, while Emma Gaine won with 30% (291 votes).
Mary thought about running multiple times since then but never did, however during the election between Bunny and Ramee, Mary ran as deputy mayor for both candidates, and eventually became one of her Deputy Mayors, although the role wasn’t as glamorous as she expected being mostly paperwork and not full of political intrigue.
 
Capture/Arrest
R3d was finally caught during a street race when Titanium’s car was disabled and surrounded by cops. To destroy the evidence and any links between Eddie and Titanium she used an RPG on the broken R34 killing 6 cops in the process.  Cops opened fire on her Sultan V8 popping several tires. In a last-ditch effort to escape she decided to drive to Paleto to attempt a fix, on the way there her car was fired upon from air-1 eventually being disabled. Cops then proceed to gun her down. AP and others including Eddie, Miguel, Flippy, Aleks, Mario, Phantom attempted to free her from custody. They proceeded to wipe most of the police but all were eventually downed or caught, except Eddie and Phantom, before being able to reach her. 
Following her arrest, she was interrogated by Snow, Copper, Fury, Casterman and Espinoz. During the conversation Mary revealed many connections to the Puppet Master and Puppets, including her closeness to Big M and dislike for Earl. She used her position as being a pawn for the PM as a cover up for protecting Titanium, claiming she was ordered to do it and that she received the RPG from Earl not her apartment to avoid a raid however she was raided anyway.
During the raid the PM contacted the police to tell them to return what is his, he then attacked the Police when they were searching the vehicles parked at the tuner shop with drone attack helicopters to prevent the police seizing his GNE. Although he was unsuccessful.
 
Mushkin's Motors
Mary is the owner of Mushkin’s Motors, a used car dealership and shell company. The company was created as a shell company to own a garage for her racing crew Yokai as a secret storage facility for their cars away from the tuner shop, so as not to draw heat to the shop.  However she also uses the company as officially proposed to enhance her side hustle of buying and selling used cars. Mary hired Bryan Chapman as the head of sales although he was fired/quit shorly after due to disagreements about how the business ran. the business has since become mostly self sustaining after the hiring of multiple driven and talented employees.
 
Lil'M
Lil’M was originally just an alias created in the grief of BigM’s death with the idea to honour his legacy and avenge him, she used this alias to express her grief, acting more violent and unhinged when hiding behind it. Simultaneously to the alias she adopted a mask inspired by BigM and changed her voice changer to resemble his. Months transpired and with few opportunities to avenge him the Lil’M alias remained just a dongle in a box although hints of her appeared sporadically. During a trip to VAR, a virtual reality heist, Lil’M began to show herself again.
Lil’M had manifested herself within the brain Implant from Roman Shacks, and wants to get out. The experience of VAR activated something within the chip enabling her to appear. This causes Mary to experience massive headaches from the area of the chip, and blackouts when Lil’M takes control, leaving only dream like memories of what happened.  To fight back against this Mary began taking unknown gummies from her Uncle Eddie. Theses pills help numb the pain but have side effects. The Yellow Pills numb the pain and supress the chips influence but have the chance of aggravating the chip causing direct attacks on Mary. Blue Pills massivley numb the pain but sacrifice control to the chip allowing Lil’M to take over.
While Lil’m is in control she acts much more violently and has only disdain for Marys friends and associates. Lil’M revealed to AP when she was in control, that her ultimate goal is to put Mary on the chip and take control fully so she could do what Mary couldn’t and kill the Puppet Master for killing BigM.
Mary kept her struggles secret only telling AP her boyfriend, who became incredibly concerned Even more so after he experienced Lil’M in full control first hand. AP searched everywhere for methods to help but came to no solid solutions. Consulting Roman Shacks, whose solutions made it seem like he had no knowledge of how his own tech worked. Doctors, who had few answers except removing the chip but had no idea what would happen after. After consulting with therapist Quinn Naiper, they were referred to PIllbot, who ran several scans, finding the chip had become encased within a tumour. After runn ing a scan of the chip they found that the chip contained 27Gb of encrypted data believed to be mapping and copying brain data (personalities and memories) to create a brain code.
After much consultation together they decided to operate and remove the chip before Lil’M could take over fully. The surgery was uneventful and successfully removed the chip and the tumour. Marys first comments after the surgery was that she felt empty and not anyone, and appeared to have lost multiple memories including her racing aliases and cars.
During this time, she receiving a call from an unknown number (Razor) following up on a text she sent him which she remembered referred to her asking for the ability to convert VIN scratch cars to compete with other dealers. Following this, some memories returned, although her emotions connected to them didn’t. While others didn’t, like her memory of BigM, or the existence of the chip. After learning of the operation, she became enraged at AP for lobotomising her memories, no longer trusting what he says.
The next day she seemed outwardly mostly back to normal although some memories still evaded her, and she maintained her distrust of AP.
Later on, Mary had a conversion with Fury and it became evident that everything was not OK. Not only were some of her memories missing but new memories had been created. Mary’s behaviour was also erratic, switching between various moods, personalities and body language, at first seemingly at random, however it became evident that various triggers caused momentary switches, even causing Lil’M to appear using her voice changer
After meeting with Tony, it became apparent that there are now multiple personalities living within Mary fighting for control including Lil’M and Mary both with fragmented memories, during this Tony baited Lil’M out and convinced her that she needed Mary for her own survival and to complete her missions avenging BigM and that it was best not to show herself to others especially AP.
The Car Bomb
Mary was invited alongside Eddie to a parking lot to see a new toy that Michael Simone had developed. He requested they bring a vin scratch car with them. The toy was a car bomb and MS needed the best drivers to test its disarming features. Mary and Eddie flipped a coin with Mary “winning” so she could drive.
The bomb was placed and Mary drove the car for fifteen terrifying minutes driving having to keep the car above 65 miles per hour before the bomb deactivated.
Mary was eventually rewarded for this challenge with a favour from Mick, Mary choose her own pet racoon and sometime later was given not 1 but 2 racoons, Scuffy and Bubby, via Shane Kerr as payment
A Test
Mary was again contacted by Earl to deliver 50k GNE to him. She met him in the same location with AP and Jesus. As this was shortly after having the chip removed Mary no longer had resentment towards the PM for BigMs Death. While counting the GNE Earl saw a packet of joke cigarettes shaped like a bomb, Earl took offence to this, and after destroying the GNE place a car bomb on Mary’s penumbra, and told her to drive.
Mary spent the next 30 minutes driving and maintaining speed all the while having to evade Earl who was piloting a cargo bob dropping things on her or trying to pick her up. Mary managed to survive this. Afterwards, Earl called Mary explaining that this was a test, or training exercise. They needed her in her best form regardless of the circumstance and warned her that more similar things may happen in the future, and to keep her head on a swivel.
Mary and the Winter Soldier
After seeing his friend V in a motorcycle gang with a katana, Dean Watson became jealous and wanted to fit in, he wanted to obtain one of his own. Dean approached Mary asking to borrow hers however she denied him, not knowing the importance the katana held to her, with it now containing a USB of the chip she had in her brain containing all her lost memories.
Unused to being told no, Dean was now even more determined to obtain her katana, and tasked Bucky to obtain it from her. Bucky normally just a mute also has an alter ego, the winter soldier, only unlocked by code speakers, of which Dean is one. The winter soldier is a super soldier with incredible skills in combat and stealth.
Mary first became aware of this when she was shot down by Bucky getting into her car, however she was saved by AP who managed to down Bucky. With the help of Goofy and Kitty(who is also a code speaker) they interrogated the winter soldier placing him in his Soldat state discovering his Plan operation Red Blade to steal her Katana although the who sent him remained unknown. In attempt to deprogram Bucky they took him to Pillbox however they were attacked by an unknown assailant who tranquilised them and extracted Bucky.
The found Bucky again spying on them disguised as a bugstars worker. finding his second report and again, tried interrogating him.  Fed up with being on edge constantly watching her back, Mary wanted to kill bucky, but others didn’t as they knew and were friends with Bucky the man not the winter soldier. In an attempt to discover who sent him, AP activated LlM to fill in any gaps in Mary’s memories. The only hint she gave was that Dean had asked to borrow the Katana before. This combined with Dean’s fascination of the katanas on the wall in their house convinced AP that dean was the man behind it all. however, Mary remained sceptical convinced that the target was not the katana but the chip inside it.
Some time later Bucky managed to kidnap AP and held him hostage in attempt to trade him for the Katana. He was being held hostage tied to 11.4kilos of C4 that would explode if she didn’t hand the Katana over in 2 hours. Mary however managed to locate AP held within the ATC tower of Fort Zancudo with the help of Jesus, together they enlisted the help of Freddy Fastfingers in an attempt to defuse the bomb and not hand over the Chip to Bucky together agreeing the chip was too important to give up.
Freddy failed, and the bomb detonated causing AP to be admitted to the ICU. She then spoke with Fury and Pond and let them know that Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, was responsible for the bombing and that he wanted the AI chip. Mary then met up with dean to explain what had just happened and what the katana meant, what it held, and what it meant to her and AP. She explained to him that AP believed Dean was responsible for hiring Bucky although she remained unconvinced.
Sometime later Bucky contacted Mary asking to meetup after he awoke alone in the quarry wanting to put an end to the whole affair, disgusted at the things he’d been told he’s done. During their meeting it was revealed that Bucky also has suspicions of Dean and that he was the last person to contact him. Bucky challenged Mary to activate his Soldat persona. Mary tried the usual trigger words and even dressed in her full Yokai gear, Katana and all, to draw him out. All these attempts failed. In a last attempt to draw him out she even handed him the Katana. Not even this could activate him. This finally convinced Mary that the mission had been deactivated and Bucky was no longer hunting her or her Katana. Allowing her finally to live in peace again without watching her back.
 
Mary Vs PD
During a random encounter and conversation with Oliver Fury and Olivia Copper and Dean Watson, the conversation transitioned to Mary bragging and believing that the PD would never be able to catch her in a chase, (because she's such a bad driver) and challenged them to try. In return Fury claimed he could catch her alone, Mary doubtful, accepted this challenge and proceeded to make a mockery of Fury escaping him effortlessly multiple times without the use of NOS and with Dean as a passenger weighing her down. 
Following this Mary claimed that not even the whole PD bringing everything they have would be able to catch her. Together with Dean's assistance they proposed to make this an event. Pitching the idea to the mayor for funding and legality. Emma Gaine loved the idea and accepted.
The PD can bring whatever they want and have an hour to catch Mary. If successful the officer who catches her receives $100k for their department and $50k to them. While Mary recipes $1k for every minute she evades and a further $100k for making the full hour. There were a few clauses, no spikes for the first 10m, free refuels and repairs for everyone at the same time, and one free "scuff bwo".
During the chase the PD brought all their interceptors, multiple chargers, 2 helicopters, a jet and a few CVPIs. Manned by some of their best drivers including, Jim Underwood, Alex Casterman and Jackie Snow. While Mary was in her sultan, repainted with its anime livery. Throughout the chase Mary faced little challenge in being caught, maintaining a large distance to the following cars, and breaking visual on multiple occasions, however the large number of participants and 2 helicopters allowed them to regain eyes. At the 57th minute of the chase Mary took a detour off-road after spotting potential spikes ahead. While off-road she had a spin out allowing the PD to catch up, giving Casterman the opportunity to pit, he landed a lucky shot, that caused Mary's Sultan to flip on its head rendering it immobile and the chase over just a few minutes before the end.
The Michael Simone incident
During a visit to the tuner shop to refill his NOS bottle off duty cop Mathew Espinoz spotted wanted super-terrorist Michael Simone who was subsequently arrested. 
Due to Micks connections with the criminal underground, Eddie, Dean Watson, and Rudi Rinson assembled a team to extract him from police custody during his prison transport. The team included Mikey Mersion, Miguel Almerian, Wayne Biggz, AP, Ray Romanov, Dougie, Yeager, Mario, Finlay and a reluctant Mary who only tagged along to protect her uncle. The rescue was a success and Mick was extracted however Ray and AP were gunned down, captured by the police, and sent to prison on 24 hour holds.
Being unable to contact AP, Mary feared the worst so removed his keys from her house to protect herself, later on she received a call from Ranger Mineo informing her of his arrest and charges, terrorism and treason, fearing association Mary and Eddie fired Ap from his jobs at the Tuner Shop and Mushkin’s Motors. This didn’t help and the police raided the tuner shop and, in the process, arrested both Mary and Eddie for Disobeying a Peace Officer and Obstruction of Justice for their resistance to the raid. Feeling their civil rights were abused both remained silent and refused questioning and were ultimately sent to prison on a 24 hour hold and their properties locked down while police looked for links between them and the attack on the transport. 
The following day they were both released and Mary’s properties unlocked however Eddies remained on lockdown as the PD attamed to piece together evidence to obtain a link between him and Simone, and therefore the ability to raid his properties. Although facing massive charges if raided Eddie only cared about one thing, his Titanium dongle and alias being exposed to the PD.
Eddie and his friends stayed up night and day, as the lockdown got extended, ready to strike if the time came for a raid. An hour before the deadline given to the police to complete their warrant or unlock Eddie's property by Judge Crane, Mary was in Paleto to keep an eye (and ear) on what the police were doing. She overheard muffled conversation inside the police department, and ultimately decided to call Judge Crane for an update on the situation. He told her that he hoped Eddie was as clean a businessman as he appears to be.
Mary called Eddie with this information, and they determined that if the police were going to come to his house in force, it was as a bait to draw out a response to get the raid on his property they wanted. Eddie called off the attack on the police and they retreated to H&O to watch the situation through cameras they had hidden at his house. This turned out to be the correct call. The police were only approved by Judge Crane to perform a sweep of the premises
The raid was completed without issue, and Eddie's properties were unlocked without discovering anything however Eddie and Mary were incredibly frustrated that despite their innocent front the PD still treated them as a hardened criminal with links to terrorism resulting in both of them losing any respect they had for the PD and plotting on ways for revenge. 
One avenue of revenge Mary decide on was to accept the role of deputy mayor she had been offered by Bunny, an offer she was undecided upon before this, and destabilise the PD legally.
 
A Family Divided
Since its inception the Tuner Shop had been using VLC to sell its trade in cars, a deal that not many except Eddie saw the benefit of however especially Mary who believed it would be much better to keep in house, both for the simplicity and to make extra money for the mechanics. After Months of dealing with Ramee on behalf of the Tuner Shop, being fed up of his antics and scamming and having to act as an in-between as Eddies mouthpiece, Mary arranged a meeting between Ramee and Eddie after Ramee withheld money in an attempt to renegotiate the profit split of the deal. Just a week after he was caught scamming them for $0.5m. During the business meeting between the Tuner Shop and VLC about their contract, Eddie believed Ramees recounting of the events and shouted at Mary in front of everyone claiming she was manipulating him to dissolve the deal. Upset with this Mary left the meeting in tears. Heartbroken that Eddie, a person she considered Family, would so publicly humiliate her, and believe the word of a person that has proven to be untrustworthy over her. 
After being comforted by Tommy, she returned to talk to Eddie however the conversation went poorly and Mary left, looking for comfort and advice, she confided with many of her friends including Lang Buddha, AP, May, Miguel, James Haze and some more. Word of this got back to Eddie and he came annoyed that Mary was talking about family business behind his back and bad mouthing him to others. Eddie also felt irritated that people were holding things people (Mary) had done for him over his head, believing that they only did it to gain favours from him. This caused Eddie to vow to never owe anyone anything leading him to pay of all his depts including returning a Lamborghini Huracan he was gifted for his birthday and selling his house.
In an attempt to try and save any business relations she had with Ramee, she contacted him to explain her side, however it was evident that Ramee no longer trusted or wanted to do business with her. It also came out that Eddie had decided to end the VLC deal anyway without informing anyone else. After another conversation with Tommy where he strongly urged her to talk to Eddie, she and Eddie met up at the end of the tuner shop docks where they had a long, heartfelt conversation and laid out exactly how they felt and what their point of view of the situation was. Eddie told Mary they could continue to do business together, but when she asked if they could still be friends, he said he wasn't sure.
Feeling out of place at the Tuner Shop she contacted Dean Watson to talk about what had happened and about potential opportunities at Cerberus. Dean was very receptive and let her know that there was always a place for her in Cerberus however felt that they had nothing to offer that would be worthy of her and her skills. During a conversation with Finlay about what had happened she learns from Finlay that Eddie intends to leave Yokai. Mary reassures Finlay that Yokai is not going to break up, and that the crew was more than just one person and more than just a simple group of people that want to race together, and that she would love to continue to have him as a member if he still wanted to join. 
Soon after Eddie calls Mary, and they agree to meet on the pier where Midnight Rivals starts, where the Midnight Club was dissolved. Eddie tells Mary he is leaving Yokai, handing her his jacket and Katana, and asks that it be given to Finlay. Eddie also informed her that he was going solo and would turn down any help to save him. Mary tells Eddie that she will respect his wishes if he ever finds himself in trouble she will stay away, though she would want to help him.
Following this Mary contacted Fury as Shinigami giving him a burned Oni card inforoming him he was out of Yokai and would no longer be receiving their help she also presented Titanium’s sword and told Fury that the stained blood on the blade was Titanium’s, and that was the fate of all who betray the Yokai.
Procyon
When the opportunity arose for civilians in Los Santos to produce oil in the city, Mary jumped at the chance. Aiming to create an oil empire. She worked tirelessly for days establishing herself, becoming known around the city as the person to go to for info on oil. Although initially sales were slow, picking up deliveries only here and there. She eventually secured herself an exclusive deal with the UK oil gas station ensuring they never ran dry.
To further grow in the oil industry and secure its future if Mary ever got arrested, Mary decided to create a business and structure to operate without her, Procyon industries. To keep the company as clean as possible she selected Jenny Hall, a cop and oiler to be its CEO and James Haze as a board member. She also created Procyon as a mother Company. This meant that if she was arrested and her pumps taken away Procyon industries could remain operational while funnelling funds through Procyon to still make Mary money.
 
Yokai reborn
Following the departure of Eddie, Mary was worried that Yokai would fall apart worried people were only there for him, however none did. Instead, multiple more members joined and the crew’s activity picked up no longer as constrained by the fears keeping Titanium’s identity hidden
As a restructure Mary appointed Fiona as second in command and gave the crew ranks based of the Yakuza, with Mary being the Oyabun. New members included Finlay, Izzy, Dean and Summer.
The Los Lagunas Cartel
Following Summer's initiation race into Yokai they were met by Earl at the finish line. He gave them the task of handling a troublesome booster, and also asked for an immediate delivery of 50k GNE. Earl pinged Yokai to a location in Sandy for the delivery. Earl gave Summer a pipe bomb and instructed her to destroy the vans.
Only a few days later Yokai was again contacted by Earl who was waiting for them at the finish line of W’kabi’s Yokai gauntlet, asking for another 50k delivery. Shinigami, Yuki onna, Orochi, Bakeneko, Onryo, Yasuke, Raiju, and Akaname, met together at the tuner shop where Shinigami counted out 50k GNE and loaded it into two vans. Before heading to a ping on great ocean highway. Along the way they saw a mysterious camouflaged cargo bob hovering out to sea.
There they met Earl and a new puppet his brother Unit, an incredibly large and strong but slow person. Unit had a particular fondness for fish that he called “bubbles”, and asked the crew if they had bought him with them. Yokai went to have a look in the ocean to see if they could find bubbles, as they did the cargo bob reappeared and stole a GNE van. Yokai opened fire on it and began to persue the heli form the ground. But not before destroying the other van. The crew pursued the helicopter as it flew down the Zancudo River, past Sandy Shores, over the Alamo Sea, before it was finally shot down after Onryo sniped and killed the pilot near the light house on Catfish View. The van filled with the GNE exploded after the crash. Onryo later used the skull from the pilot for her own mask.
Earl told them that he believed the helicopter may have been the Los Lagunas Cartel, a competitor of the Puppet Master, and that they might be working to disrupt their operations in Los Santos. He also informed Mary of Units past as a captive for the cartel and how they were the reason for his “Slow” nature, and that they might be manipulating him against the pm. After this he also stated he now understood why the Puppet Master liked her.
Hail Mary
During the MRL season 2 play off finals, Mary reached the final 2. During the Final series of races a best of 5 between herself and Goofy, Shinigami was focused on by the police while she had an orange engine light and after a short chase she struck a local, the car was disabled, and it was secured by the police. Shinigami was picked up by new member of the Yokai, Onryo, who evaded the police before also coming close to being fully disabled by an impact, causing Shinigami to be handed off to Orochi who eventually escaped from the police.
Fearing her alias as Shinigami was burnt, with a car under her name being caught, she called Fury. spinning an elaborate tale about how she had been kidnapped by puppets who stole her car because of its resemblance to BigM's Huracan, and how they were planning to harm him. She then told Fury that the Puppets were forcing her to race in an effort to draw Fury into the open where she would be forced to pipe bomb him. But she couldn't tell him to avoid the races, because she was told to race until he responded. The story was enhanced by the Puppets being around and also making calls to Fury echoing a similar story, leading to Fury and Trooper Copper potentially believing her. Due to her now unsettled mental state and no longer able to access her best performing car Mary lost the final 3-1. Following the tournament Mary reached back out to Fury and let him know that the Puppets were not happy with her, and that if she disappeared it was their fault.
Despite Fury’s outward acceptance of her story Mary wad unsure if her story worked, however there was nothing more she could do but pray it worked.
Protect the PM
One day Mary received a call from Unit, telling her to meet him at the Lighthouse and to bring her crew with her to watch the surrounding area. A short while later Mary came face to face with the PM himself, arriving by boat to conduct some business in the city, making Mary the first person in the city to meet him in person and not only that the PM tasked Shinigami and Yokai to be his personal guard during his meeting, with the crew keeping watch outside while Shinigami would greet and escort his guests. Many came and went but all were searched and stripped of weapons while Mary herself remained the only armed person near the PM, a sign of trust that didn’t go unnoticed to her. As a reward for Yokai’s efforts he promised them a special S+ contract in the future
Yokademy
Mary was looking to expand Yokai’s members and decide the best way to do this was to host an academy. She asked members to find people they thought would vibe with the crew, and asked Fiona to help organise an event for them
Henry Goodman, Joaquin Jimenes, Kassandra Kage, Oakley Stallion, Bjorn, Xavier Valentine and Clay Alderson were invited to a 2-day academy full of a variety of races, boosts and chases to see how they vibed with the crew. At the end everyone but Clay was invited to the crew and they became valued members of the crew.
Burned
Shinigami has always been one to taunt the police. Bragging about her success and the PDs failures, something that only increased their desire to catch her and reveal her true identity. She particularly enjoyed messing with Oliver Fury, the lead investigator for Yokai, and played into the rumours he had a crush on her by flirting with him over calls and texts.
Due to her taunts, status in the racing scene and close relationship with the Puppet Master the SRU were incredibly determined to catch her, and placed a bounty on her that eventually reached $1m for her and $250k for each of her cars. A bounty the same as known puppets.
Overtime she has left numerous hints to her identity and investigators all but new she was Mary but could never catch her to confirm. However, they had no legal means to prove it. The SRU bought in Hardcastle (a seasoned SCU investigator) to assist and over the next few months gathered as much evidence as they could and collated all that they had into a warrant in attempts to search her properties to find the final evidence that would prove her identity beyond any doubt. Her dongle, cars or suit.
They managed to get a search and seizure warrant signed for her properties and planned to raid them in the coming days, after finalising her charges and interrogation prep.
During the first round of MRL season 4 Mary decided to leave early and get some sleep, before doing so she wanted to check on May who had been being chased. May was still being chased so Mary decided to assist. Her assistance worked too well, with the PD immediately calling out Shinigami and diverting the chase to her and calling the entire PD to assist. They immediately upped the aggression spiking and pitting from the get go after a while Mary managed to lose the cops heading to Paleto, but was spotted again on her journey back to the city via the train tracks and the chase resumed again. Eventually after nearly losing them multiple times but visual being regained by the overwhelming numbers and evading countless high-speed spikes and pits the Porsche Carrera GT she was driving was bogging badly and nearly disabled so she had GRL get her Streetfighter out ready from the warehouse. When she got there, she was swarmed by cops and tasered relentlessly forcing Mary to break cuffs multiple times and had to resort to being picked up by GRL. After evading for a while with GRL driving Mary wanted back in her car so had May fetch her Pagani from the house. Mary successfully got into it and proceeded to evade for a while however she eventually succumbed to spikes and lost her Pagani to the cops as well as her CGT and Streetfighter. She managed to evade on foot and again break multiple cuffs and survive numerous tasers. With the help from Summer and Fiona blocking PD with their cars she managed to get back in with GRL. Once again, the chase was on. Again, wanting to drive for herself, she contacted Dani who was driving Marys trusted Sultan V8 to stay put and let her take the car. A block away from the Sultan, GRL was spiked and eventually cuffed while Mary was picked up by Summer, who safely got her to her car. The chase proceeded for a while with Mary losing hope, even considering surrendering. However eventually against all odds she managed to finally lose the cops and hid in her Sultan in an alcove on the east coast by the sea, where she spent the night.
If the warrant hadn’t been signed earlier there was no doubt that it would be signed now.
Mary now burned, was on the run.
No more hiding
After Spending the night in her Sultan hiding, Mary returned to the city paranoid fearing police around every corner. She returned to find all her properties and cars locked down, all she access to was her trusty Sultan and a Vin scratch Audi R8. Mary disguised herself as a generic woman in the city, completely unrecognizable as herself. Mary was completely paranoid and unsure what to do next, knowing now that there was no chance they didn’t know who she was.
Mary talked to some of her closest friends and allies on what to do next, coming up with multiple crazy plans, including fake identities and clones and many others. One idea that kept coming to Mary was to go out in a blaze of glory, potentially attacking any raid that may happen with RPG’s, something that Yeager was very interested in and provided her with an RPG and some Heroin.
However, before this could happen, they noticed the raid was already happening and that it was too late. And together Yokai watched from a distance as the raid progressed from property to property. Discovering her final secrets, her reserve masks and suits. While this was going on Mary contacted Eddie, and told him everything that was happening. Although they had gone their separate ways with Yokai, they are always there for each other, and Eddie being Titanium was one of the few people who could relate as closely to her situation.
Yokai regrouped after the raid, and the final surprise guest was Titanium, having not worn the outfit in almost a year, this shocked and surprised everyone. And bought tears to Marys eyes, overwhelmed with happiness that Eddie would bring Titanium out for her in her darkest time. “If someone needs to draw the heat”.
Straight back to messing with the PD, Titanium called Fury from Shinigami’s burner phone. Trying to stir, with the last thing the PD knowing about Titanium was that Shinigami potentially had him killed.
Together they planned what to do next, wanting to get back at the PD in the Yokai way. Mary's preferred option was to draw the PD into a trap by hosting a race and then RPGing the cops. Before they did this, Mary called fury one final time ending it by turning off her voice and taunting fury to come catch her.
Before the race started, Yokai convinced her that being so loud with RPGs was not the Yokai way and would just lead to further problems. And that they should be more precise and targeted. Together Yokai hosted a race of Hyakki Yagyō, with Mary removing her fake plate. "No more hiding". Fury noticed the ping for the race, immediately spotting that Mary was taunting him and called the whole force to come chase. Mary driving flawlessly finished the race in first with the whole police on her, but due to the length of the race had nearly no fuel left. So, she decided to do an incredibly risky jump that she failed and had to abandon her Sultan. In the chaos trying to get in another car she was finally cuffed by Fury. However, Yokai managed to grab her and get her out. Eventually they lost the cops and Mary was again "free" and lived to run another day.
Loose ends
The next day began with Izzy kidnapping Snow, during this he was determined to reveal to her that Earl had contacted him, to warn him he was in town to tie up loose ends and not to arrest them until he was done. They both immediately assumed this referred to Mary. During this they also saw Earl’s car drive past confirming he was in town.
Izzy relayed the message to Mary which sent her into a panic. She shortly received a call from the PM himself. In it he talked about how he didn’t like loose end and that Mary would have to make a decision shortly, and any wrong one could see her dead.
Mary contacted those close to her in a panic and decided to gear up to defend herself. She met with Tony, one to see if he had any guns for sale and two as he was the person that along with her had gone through the most with the PM. While talking the PM sent her the following;
“My sweet devil.
Lest we forget. 
Business is business. 
Love is… just that. 
A daughter lost to the fire and born from the ashes. 
A devil reincarnate.”
Tony also warned her that if it came to it, he would have to choose his crew and family over despite how close they are and that he shouldn’t trust her completely. The PM then also called her warning her that he knows how Tony thinks and is always one step ahead and reminded her that this is how he killed BigM, by staying one step ahead of Tony’s plan to fake his death.
Together Mary and Yokai tried to understand what was going on, did the PM really want her dead, was she a loose end because she was burned, would the PM really turn on her after all she had done, why warn her if he wanted her to die? What did the poem mean?
The PM called again during which He asked “Who is really a loose end?” to which Mary told him “I am not a loose end; how badly do you want them tied up?”. The call ended with the PM saying “Puppets have no friends. There is will be only one who will take his place. You had best make sure it's you.” This convinced Mary that Earl was the loose end, that it was a battle between her and Tony to kill and replace him, with the poem referred to her rising to become a puppet.
Mary believed that Earl and Unit were working together with Los Lagunas Cartel against PM, potentially stealing his GNE, and that she was a loose end to Earl for what she had seen and could potentially figure out. During the last GNE drop off the cartel came to try and steal the GNE vans, however Unit didn’t retaliate even though he had a minigun until it was too late and the GNE was only just stopped from being stolen at the last second by Yokai. Mary thinks this was meant to be an impossible task and this was a setup by Earl.
Aware of the gravity of the task in killing a puppet Mary gathered Yokai together to gear up in what could very likely be her final act. It was kill or be killed.
While preparing she received a call from Fury where she emotionally expressed that she never wanted to truly hurt him and just enjoyed messing with him, he was her favourite toy, she then warned him of the danger she was in, convincing Fury and the PD to stay out of the way of anything that may happen. She ended the call by confessing her love for him.
She then called Tony again to get his side, Tony had no desire to become a puppet, and still desired to kill them all and the PM for what they had done to BigM. While Mary, having lost her memories of BigM, wanted to become a puppet and join the PM by his side. How could she betray her father? The PM now becoming the most prominent father figure in her life, the only one left that hadn’t abandoned her.
Together Yokai planned to kill Earl and have Mary take his place and set out searching the city for him. After scouring the city for hours with no sign of Earl, they ended the search for the time being realising that hunting a puppet would not be that simple.
The following week, while Izzy was recovering in the hospital with a traumatic brain injury, Earl joined a race that Mary had entered, instantly she called all available Yokai to gear up and meet her at the start so they could confront and kill Earl. This included some member who were staying with Izzy in the hospital. However, this was bait and Earl instead entered the hospital and tranquilised the doctor so that he could carve “Strings attached” into her back. If Earl wasn’t going to die before he was now, he had crossed Marys hard line, you don’t touch family.
Mary later received a call from the PM. During the call when Mary bought up killing Earl, he offered no push back, but instead mentioned “Maybe Earl isn’t the one needing saving, maybe you have to save yourself from you”. This confused Mary thinking that maybe Earl wasn’t the loose end after all. and it might be Tony. Many of the things the PM had said led Mary to the conclusion that Tony parading himself around in BigM’s mask and trying to “Remember the name” was a spit in the face of the PM and that it was time he should finally forget the name and move on. Now less sure of how to proceed Mary began to think how she could get him to “forget”. Although she was still set on killing Earl for hurting Izzy if the opportunity presented itself.
No more running
Mary successfully evaded her warrant for 38 days, involving multiple chases and stake outs, during this time she had multiple close calls and lost several cars in chases, having to break cuffs multiple times, but always got away with the help of her crew providing swaps and rides or equipment and even helicopter escapes.
The PD was not a push over however, the pulled out all they had, disregarding standard unit limits, authorising immediate spiking and high-speed pits, even resorting to jets on occasion. They pushed Mary to her limits, it was nearly impossible to lose the cops, every time she thought she’d lost them one of the numerous parallel units would regain eyes. Yet every time she got away.
With every escape and seeing how hard the PD tried Mary’s ego grew, and she taunted the PD even harder for their failures. It wasn’t all chases though, Mary fought back and played games with the PD. She dressed many of her friends as herself and had them drive around the city in her cars, adding doubt and confusion to the PD. She invited them directly into her house, causing them to assume a trap and not enter, despite there never being a trap. And much more mental warfare particularly with Fury, resulting in him becoming broken.
When not chasing Mary, the PD were looking around the city for her, however Mary spent most of her time simply living in her house, with her friends. Mary even told the PD this but due to her mind games they didn’t believe it. This wasn’t all fun and games and over time began to feel like house arrest for Mary.
Seeing Fury broken other PD stepped in to put the pressure on Mary, and froze her bank account, despite warnings that this would just force her to become a ghost, which it did. Mary called the PD and informed them that she would turn herself in if they offered her a good deal or else, she would leave the country and become a ghost. They refused a deal and Mary left the city to a tropical beach.
Mary had unfinished business that could not be completed easily while being on the run and with the frozen assets it became impossible. Her offer was genuine, she was willing to surrender, and had to find another way to enable her to complete the most important work of her life. Project Mikoshi.
Mary decided to go out on her own terms, hand herself in and free herself from the shackles of the chase allowing her to be unleashed like never before and get back to her business. Although Mary was never going to be one to simply hand herself in. Knowing she had bank tracking she accessed her account and waited for the cops to appear. Dressed in full gear and driving her Carrera GT she fled from the PD, while other members of the crew set up a plan at Humane Labs to separate the PD from their cars, surrender inside, and then destroy the cars with RPGs. The plan went flawlessly and Mary was joined by May inside so they could surrender together. When the PD reached them, the signal was given and the RPGs flew detonating several cars and injuring a few officers as collateral. Also, several minutes later a car bomb attached to a forklift at the lab was also detonated for additional impact. While in custody an unidentified attack helicopter also strafed MRPD believed to potentially belong to the PM.
The Police proceeded to interrogate Mary for several hours before eventually sending her up, with Mary pleading not guilty to all charges and an appeal being pushed to the docket.
Yokai restructure
With the development of Yokai, Mary determined that the crew neede a slight restructure, she promoted May to a new rank of Shateigashira the 3rd in command and invited Kass, Izzy and Finlay to the rank of Hashira.
This also coincided with the new mikomi structure where every full member was encouraged to take a student or shatei to mentor. Yokai invited a number of new mikomi with most of them integrating closely with the group. After a while a second academy was hosted for Yokai and several of these members were promoted and new mikomis added.
Project Mikoshi
Mary has always had abandonment issues since her pampered yet loveless childhood, she was raised with everything she could ever want except the love of her father. Throughout her life this was only exaggerated by many of the people she looked up to and considered family, leaving her.
This led to Mary trying everything in her power to create a true family that would never leave her, and to be able to save anyone she loved.
Inspired by her traumatic experience with the chip in her head that managed to copy and transfer memories. Mary set out to try and create immortality. She enlisted the expertise of Lance and founded Procyon Medical, to create clone bodies and adapt the chips technologies to transfer minds to a new body. Located in a secret research base in Antarctica he successfully created the bodies, but struggled with the mind transfer. There was an incredibly low success rate and the process caused unimaginable pain.
When Izzy was placed in the ICU and suffered terrible brain damage with a slim chance of survival. Mary re-evaluated her priorities and doubled her efforts into the project bringing Lance back to Los Santos in case the worst was to happen and they could attempt a last-ditch effort to save Izzy. Fortunately, she recovered without the need for the project, but its need was evident to Mary.
During Izzy’s recovery her Doctor Arya, showed incredible skill and dedication in treating Izzy. Mary recognised her potential and rewarded her work with an invite to become Yokoi’s doctor and a katana. With the idea to utilise her skills in the project. However, this was hindered when Arya was suspended and eventually fired from being a doctor.
Mary met with Nick Simone the owner of the hospital in an attempt to purchase her own medical facility to legitimise the process and expand its reach. After detailing the project, Nick thought Mary was insane and wanted proof that the project worked with a live demonstration.
The search for a potential candite was short, Izzy’s dad, Thomas Dwayne was dying with all standard medical treatment failing him, he was open to any and all means to find a treatment and was incredibly open to the project volunteering to become the first patient.
However, there was an issue, with Mary’s warrant and bank being frozen she was unable to continues her work, and was willing to surrender to allow it to continue. Any jail time or fine was nothing compared to work she was doing. For this reason, among many other Mary turned herself in.
A few weeks later the first procedure took place, with the expert care of Lance and Arya and Yokai and Nick as witness, they successfully managed to transfer the memories and consciousness of Thomas into his new body. The procedure itself went fairly smoothly although afterward the mind had trouble adjusting to the new body. However, they had done it. And Mary now felt unstoppable, akin to a god. Although not everyone was as excited.
The S++ Inccident
When boosting Mary received an email from the PM telling her that she unlocked something special. Her GPS was updated with the location of a warehouse. When there she met with Goofy, who had also received the email. After entering the warehouse, she was taken in a plane and airdropped above the N.O.O.S.E facility. Together they had to break in after shooting multiple guards. Once inside the facility Mary had to hack into and destroy GNE servers, then escape. Once they got back, they realised that 10% of the city’s GNE had been wiped from people’s wallets. But also had access to a new cryptocurrency XTF and the warehouse, where they could then buy S++ car contracts. Later on, May and Ray also received the mission and unlocked the warehouse too.
The next day Mary tried to run her contract but there were issues, so instead Yokai and Mary decided to run Mays. The boost went bad with the hacks failing, and resulted with May in cuffs. May was facing a large warrant so Mary wanted to try and rescue her. She grabbed her RPG and when she thought May was clear of the blast radius fired it at the cops arresting her, downing 8 cops and May and Izzy, with Kass and JJ being shot trying to run and grab May. This resulted in May and Kass being sent to the ICU with May on life support.
Mary fled and got away but was distraught at what she had done. She never intended to hurt May, she has dedicated her life to building Yokai and protecting its members and now she was the one to hurt them. She confided in Alex expressing her regrets and shame at what had just happened. The normally confident and sure of herself Mary was now lost at what to do. Considering running away or even just ending it all. From feeling like a god who could do no wrong only a few days ago to this, Mary’s confidence and ego was shattered.
Mary received a call from Haze that places were being locked down, so she rushed to the house where she had stored the RPG but it was too late, it was already locked. Mary knew that the PD wouldn’t stop searching until they found the RPG and would go through everyone’s properties and cars until it was in their hands. So, she turned herself in and gave the PD her RPG, to protect her crew from the illegal stuff the inevitably had stored. Not wanting them to receive any extra punishment for her mistake.
After being interrogated she was sent to prison for a hold, where she met with Izzy, JJ and Fiona (who was in for an unrelated charge). She confided in them admitting her shame and feelings of inadequacy, unsure whether she could ever lead Yokai again. Her lapse in judgement and betrayal in the people she swore to protect gave her doubt that they would ever want to follow her again. She met with more Yokai in visitation and expressed the same sense of shame and left it in the hands of those she hurt to choose her punishment.
The people she spoke to had a variety of response, from anger and distrust, to forgiveness of a mistake. Although Mary was filled with shame and was willing to do anything to set it right.
During her stay in prison, she spent much of her time with the lifer Desmond Deckard. An unlikely acquaintance that soon became another father figure to Mary. Unlike some of her other father figures, Dez was a calm and reasonable person who reigned in many of Marys wild tendencies, warning of the double-edged sword that violence could bring and that importance to think things through and not to act on impulse. He saw the reasons and validity behind Mary’s ego yet warned against her hubris.
Mary was released after the 24hrs to find all her properties raided. Some stuff was taken but it was nothing that she couldn’t replace with money. All she cared about was May, although she had been warned by Karina, (Mays’s fiancée and Yokai member) not to visit her while she was on life support. Not wanting to make the situation worse Mary kept her distance.
May eventually woke from her Life support and was sent to prison. Mary kept honouring her word and gave May distance until she reached out to her. Despite how much it pained her to not speak. After a few days May reached out, she felt hurt and betrayed that her best friend and sister could do such a thing not sure if she could ever trust her again. Mary meanwhile confessed her guilt and shame at what happened. explaining how it was the biggest mistake she had ever made and that she needed May in her life. To help with Yokai and Mary with whatever life has to throw at her. Their conversation ended with them on better terms but May still needing space to heal. to help ease Yokai's mind and as a punishemnt for Mary she was banned from RPGs
However, she also revealed something else. That Michael Simone had called in a favour with May and wanted her to boost him a car. Another S++. May didn’t want to involve Yokai or Mary. But Mary was desperate to help, knowing the danger Mick possessed and that May couldn’t turn it down or fail. She offered to use her contracts to help train the hacker May chose. Knowing that this was the most crucial part for success. however May didnt take her up on the offer, and since then they have kept distance from eachother. 
Over time the wounds healed and they became close again, eventually earning the trust of May and Yokai to have her RPG ban lifted
Mother of Pierogi
One day Mary ran into “twins “Igor and Sergei, she joked to them that they had broken into her cloning facility Procyon. This was met by panic from the “twins” who recognised the name as the company that made them. It turned out that the Skovacic’s and all Pierogians are clones born from eggs in the future and sent through portals and alternate dimensions to get there. They couldn’t tell her everything in fear that it would destroy the time line but informed her that Procyon became bigger than she could ever imagine and created all the eggs, and was the mother of Pierogi in the future. But the company becomes truly evil and results in the end of days and must be stopped.
They also bought up the idea that maybe Mary herself was a clone, placed there unsuspecting by the real Mary. And she remembered her voidsuit that had the markings 002 on it, maybe she wasn’t the original. They then toured her cloning facility, that they recognised, however the version they had seen was in ruins.  They then visited the server room that held Lil’M, or the AI that Igor recognised from the future. In the server room Sergei accidently let Lil’M out into the wider internet by connecting it to the Wi-Fi.  
With all their moves are preordained, they must break the timeline somehow to save the future and prevent Procyon bringing the end of time. To save the future they had to act carefully, any wrong move could damage the timelines beyond repair. To fix this they must travel to another time, another dimension, to do this they required the help of the guild. Or was this all just the ramblings of a mad man
Ottos x Mushkins Motors
After internal disputes at Otto's Autos, that lead to Cerberus seeking new management, they reached out to her wondering if she would be interested in purchasing the used car dealership. The offer included all the companies, garage, inventory, its location, a storefront and the ability for other employees to buy and sell cars. For $25m, and on March 1st 2023, Mary accepted the offer and took over Ottos Autos, merging it into Mushkin’s Motors and moving MM to its new location. Since then, MM has gone to new heights, making more sales and profit than ever.
Abandoned
Eddie had been absent from the city for some time. Building sheds back in England. However, he returned one day to talk, he saw the success that Mary had achieved. Including her recent purchase of Ottos, that he was initially concerned about due to the cost and the money coming from their joint holdings account, although after agreeing a repayment plan, he was pleased. He told Mary how that Los Santos wasn’t the place for him anymore and that he was returning back home to England. Mary was distraught telling Eddie that she was his family too. Eddie then pointed across the room to Yokai members, telling her that she had all the family she needed and that he was impressed with what she had built. Eddie then revealed that once the Tuner shops dept to the PM was paid off he would give Mary the shop officially. So, she would no longer be lying when she claimed she was the owner as she had been since Eddie took a step back. Mary understood Eddie but was upset that yet again she had been abandoned by those closest to her.
PM x Simone, A name revealed
Mary received a phone call from the PM informing her that he needed her assistance bringing an acquaintance to a meeting, come alone and use discretion. Mary pinged a number and collected none other than Michael Simone to deliver to the PM. After checking him for weapons she delivered Mick to the PM where they had a meeting about their shared interests and forming an alliance to combine resources and work together going forwards.
The Meeting ended with Mick asking what to call the PM, to which he responded “Freddy”. Mary overheard the entire conversation, as she kept guard. Although she heard it all, one thing stuck out most to Mary, the name, she had heard it somewhere before. After searching her memory, she remembered the 6STR magazine that had a paragraph about Eddie's past.
The relevant section
“Originally from London, England, Eddie grew up with racing fuels in his veins and nitrous in his lungs. His passion for car culture exploded when a close friend introduced him to the London street racing scene. The secret underground vibes and the camaraderie were everything he had dreamt of. This dream however didn't align with what his parents wanted for him. After non-stop arguing, he chose to leave his parents home to try and retain whatever peace was left between them.
His uncle. Freddy Marshall, happened to run a very successful aftermarket parts manufacturing company at the time called Marshall Motors, Freddy took his nephew under his wing and gave him a job, allowing him to expand his mechanical knowledge and skill even further.
One fateful night. his Uncle and Father got into an intense argument, one that led to the unfortunate death of Eddie's Father. With nowhere to go and no one to trust, Eddie packed up and made his way to the U.S. “
Could they be the same person, was the PM Eddies uncle? Mary proceeded to theorize, but in the end it all seemed to align. The PM controls the car part industry in Los Santos, Freddy ran an aftermarket parts business. Eddie owes a debt on behalf of his Father to the PM. Eddie is scared and wants revenge on the PM.
Maybe Eddie wanted to get close to the PM and become a puppet, but his father disagreed that lead to an argument and his death, scaring Eddie away and leading to his hatred and the debt owed.
Although it made sense, it raised even more questions and concerns. Eddie knew this the entire time and was he just using her this entire time to enact his revenge, without telling her the risk? Was she just a puppet to him? Was this the reason she was “off limits”? Was Eddie stepping away and distancing himself from Mary, due to her getting close to the PM and not following his plan, causing him to get scared of what she had become.
The entire nature of Marys history with the PM and Eddie was being rewritten, if this was true.
The Rains of Castermere
During a Yokai race Mary and Cayde made contact causing Mary to lose her place, upset that he made no effort to slow down or apologise she confronted him, however he doubled down and talked back, resulting in Mary shooting Cayde. He again doubled down texting Mary “I know you want to be someone who pulls strings. But atm you aren’t one of those people. Don’t forget that.”. with Mary under a lot of scrutiny from the police she was incredibly angry at that text and what it could imply to the PD when they inevitably see it in their next subpoena.
While theorizing on what to do, she decided to visit The Speed Trap with some other members, to hang out in its hidden Yokai bar. But when they got there, they could hear music, piano, and singing. The Puppet Master was there, alone, in the bar playing on Finlay’s piano, and singing the “Rains of Caastermere”. When he finished, he asked to be introduced to Marys friends, Izzy, Violet and, her Girlfriend, Alex. They then talk privately and Mary brings up the Cayde situation.
The PM blacklists Cayde from boosting and tells Mary to take credit for it. She does this and then the PM removes the blacklist and called Cayde himself to threaten him. Later the PM calls Mary making Mary question her choices and if they were the best they could have been. The call was cryptic as always, and left Mary with more questions than answers. But the call felt more guiding than disappointed, as if he was coaching her to be more, to be better at manipulation and less reliant on violence, to be a better string puller, although he warned Mary that Cayde still sought revenge.
Later on, with Mary asleep, Izzy received a call from the PM granting Yokai an S+ boost, the Obey Omnis eGT. Oakley woke Mary with her screaming and with Mary hacking, GRL driving, and Izzy, Fiona and Oakley helping Yokai completed the boost without incident. and now have an armoured car the Omnis E-GT that they converted the next day. This was the last face to face contact Mary had with the PM
Redline VS Yokai
Mary still wary about Cayde, spent time researching his relations and properties. While doing so she found a suspicious Kaz near one of the homes he had keys to. Mary then looked back at twitter and found that Cayde had posted a picture overlooking the Yohouse. In response GRL and Dumnbfuck who were with Mary, posted races with titles calling out Cayde. Kaz then called DF for this and followed it up with a call to GG (DF's ex gang) implying that DF had been false flagging as GG. This resulted in GG holding up Mary and kidnapping DF before shooting him, just before there were about to start an S++ boost.
Mary then rolled past Kaz and shouted at him about being a snitch before getting shot by them as she fumbled to reach for her own gun.  Yokai chased them down but didn’t realise how many were in the car so got shot down as well.
Mary confronted Tony and demanded that he hand over Kaz and all this would be forgiven, however Tony refused and war was declared. Both groups created hunting parties (Yokai with Mary, JJ, Terry, Izzy, DF, W’Kabi) and set out looking. Although Yokai had secretly had Izzy in Yokia-1 flying over the city following Redline from the meeting so they found each other quickly and had a gunfight which left both Tony and Goofy shot along with Terry from Yokai. After fleeing from the scene Yokai tracked Mickey in a cargo bob to Air-x and downed him along with his helicopter.
After things had calmed down, with bloodlust satiated, Mary called Tony to end the violence. A truce was declared with both agreeing that it felt wrong that racing crews were acting like this so decided to settle this with a crew battle.
Before the Race Mary received a call from the PM to catch up on a few things, before the call ended he then told her not to be impatient. this was the last contect she had with the PM
As everyone was waiting at the race start, an unfamiliar car arrived and out stepped Earl. Mary, remembering the words from the PM, told Yokai to stand down, in particular Izzy, who all wanted to kill him for what he had done. Mary saw this as a test of her loyalty and control over Yokai. 
Before any meaningful conversation could happen, the police interrupted and forced everyone to flee and find a new start location. they found a new start and began the battle. The 1st race went to Yokai, however due to police interference heightened by the earlier sighting of the battle, they had to delay the rest of the battle for a later date, however schedules never aligned.
 
Yokai on Top
The success of the MIkomi structure led to many new members joining Yokai, both as Mikomi and full members. There were growing pains along the way but the crew grew to a size that it was active almost 24/7.
Not all MIkomis were a success, the most notable of these failures was Rick, who after multiple warnings, including having his hand cut off by Mary was kicked from the crew. However Rick had shown that he had loose lips and couldn't be trusted with the knowledge he had learned while in the crew. Rick was killed to take this knowledge to the grave.
Some of the original/earlier members did have concerns that the crew had lost some of its mystery that it used to possess when Mary was still unmasked. Mary agreed but felt that the trade off being able to race without the worry that the entire PD would appear at any moment and having a much more active crew that provided companions for the members whenever they wanted. far outweighed the mystique they had lost.
The success of the crew attracted people from all over the city to want to join. with many unexpected people expressing interest, including Ramee. Mary was particularly wary of some interest, with the crew recently receiving their own unique thermal katanas, and only wanted people joining for the right reasons. Ramee ended up being one of these, passing the extensive trials Mary put him through.
Yokai further levelled up after Rod schemed with Michael Simone to “milk Mary” of her money. Together with Ledson they bought the house across the road and levelled it for a car park, the “YoLot”, and enlisted Mick's skills to landscape the garden into a Japanese ornamental garden. making the Yohouse a truly unique place in the city. During this Mick also expressed his interest in joining Yokai, something unimaginable a year before.
The Island Death Race
Mary was contacted by Marlo about another death race being organised by Mick Simone, (the previous one Mary helped with by creating the track). Mary was approached to see if she wanted to spectate like the last one, however she wanted a more active role. The previous race ended on a slightly disappointing note with many of the bombs failing to detonate, so for this one Mary suggested that she act as the enforcer, hunting down the ones who got away. Marlo liked the Idea and Mary, as Shinigami, attended the race with the Champion, a bullet proof car armed with machine guns.
During the event Mary killed 8 of the contestants much to her enjoyment. However one got away, Luciano DiCenzo. Marlo contacted Mary about this, and created an elaborate plan to catch him. Mary enlisted the help of Yokai and together they successfully executed the plan and captured Luciano. Dressed as Shinigami, Mary made it clear to him the reasons for this, and that Yokai were not to be messed with. Mary let Marlo read his texts to gain the information he desired while she let Izzy torture him, as she left to get an RPG. Once she returned they transported Luciano to a remote location and fired the RPG at him, to finish him off as many of the contestants before him met their end. The added irony being that this was the RPG she was given by Trey at the race, the person who aided in Lucianos escape.
This was the end of the story for Mary, her bloodlust satiated. however Luciano and the italians wanted answers, and began poking around Yokai, placing cameras etc. After noticing this, one phone call to them via a pinged phone booth from Wade with a voice changer warning them to back off, seemed to put an end to their meddling
Tuner Owner
Over time Eddie spent less and less time in the city, eventually leaving entirely, leaving the management of the Tuner Shop to others.
 
Mary's title at the shop started as just the sales manager however her role was always greater than just sales, and she was effectively the co-owner of the shop since its opening. Due to her passion and dedication to maintaining the shop in his absence, when Eddie told Mary he was leaving the city he promised her the shop after his GNE dept was paid off.
Before he left Eddie made one final unknown number call to Mary, cryptically saying “Think long and hard why i'm calling you from this number” which Mary correctly deciphered meant that she should go to his favourite payphone in sandy shores, there Mary found a note saying “Your friends are the family you choose”. 
Long after Eddie had last been seen Mary received the following email. 
“Dear Ms Mushkin
Following the subpoena of records for Eddie Marshall we are willing to release documents no longer pertaining to our investigation that you may find relevant that were intended for yourself as a colleague and in the particular event Mr Marshall is killed or has been missing for a period of 6 months or longer.
Enclosed you will find documents pertaining to transfer of ownership for the 6STR Tuner Shop to a one Mary Mushkin in the city of Los Santos, San Andreas.
We would suggest you work with local Los Santos police to discern if he has been missing for a period of 6 months or longer and work with your solicitors in this matter.
Mr Marshall is currently wanted by UK police forces for First Degree Murder. We hope that we can count on your co-operation should you have any contact with Mr Marshall or are aware of his whereabouts. 
All the best, 
DI Arthur Forge 
Metropolitan Police Police service for the Greater London area 
Enclosed document attached detailing transfer of ownership”
A few days Later Mary officially had the shop transferred into her name, a bittersweet moment. Mary realised the days of her and Eddie running the shop together would never return, she was on her own again having to move forward with the life and family she had created in Yokai.
They may have had their differences at times and ended on a bad note, but Mary did truly consider Eddie family, and she knew that this truly meant the end. 
With the silence from the PM and the email Mary received, she had hoped that Eddie did what no one else had managed and killed the PM, but knew that she would never truly get closure. 
After the shop was transferred into her name, she had it officially rebranded as Procyon Motorsports (PM)
The End (alternate)
(Note: this never played out in RP but was the intended final conclusion to the PM’s and Eddie’s stories, as told by GWG himself, instead of the email Mary received from the MET, actual events may have played drastically different}
One day the PM called Mary to a race. A race to prove herself, A death race. PM initiation, against Puppet number 1. Mary agreed to the race and headed up to Paleto. 
Waiting at the start line in Mary saw a Viper pull up and out stepped Puppet number 1, Titanium. Eddie had been a puppet all along, Angry and confused Mary and Eddie lined up at the startline. Viper vs Pagani, and prepared for a race that could be her last. there would be only one survivor.
Just before the race started Eddie called Mary, and as they raced he told his story.
He spoke about how he wanted out of the game, how he had been influenced by his uncle when he was young to get involved and influence the London street racing scene. How the PM was using Marshall Motors to control and strongarm everyone and build his empire, with Eddie at the forefront. 
During this time he had become estranged from his dad, and when he returned to him Eddie's father was pissed, and he confronted Freddie a fight broke out that led to a fire in Marshall motors killing Eddie's dad and leaving his uncle badly burned.
Terrified Eddie wanted out, realising his uncle was using him, and fled to Los Santos. Where he began trying to make a name for himself working on cars and starting the Midnight club. This drew the attention of the PM. The PM was not someone who would just let people walk away. but gave Eddie one way out, paying off a debt of 1 million GNE. A debt that was about to be paid off thanks to the Tuner shop, he was about to be free, just one more race.
Eddie also told Mary how he chose to keep her close to him for her protection for as long as he needed her the PM wouldn't dare hurt her.  
Eddie thought leaving would make the PM calm down and ignore Los Santos but soon realised that didn't work. He saw how close Mary was getting to the PM and knew this race was coming sooner or later, and if he wasn't racing in it,  Earl or another Puppet would, someone who would stop at nothing to win. They all had their reasons like Earls protection of Unit, but Eddie couldn't let himself stand by as Mary raced in a rigged race for her life.
All these thoughts and realisations conflicted Mary, was Eddie being honest, did he truly care for her or had he been using her from the start, was he still using her now. 
Unknowingly to Mary, Eddie had called Snow before the race, telling him this would be his final chance to catch him. There would be no back up or interference, just him. 
Eddie apologised for all that had happened and told Mary no matter what just keep driving, finish the race, doesn't matter what you see in your mirrors you have to finish the race, get one last audience with him and do what needs to be done or everyone will continue getting hurt. Use this to prove yourself.
They had been racing side by side this entire time and at some point Snow had joined behind. Eddie slowly dropped back from Mary giving one final goodbye “I love you Mary, finish the race”.
Once Mary had driven out of sight, Eddie slowed to a stop. confronting Snow with a gun in hand. knowing that if he pulled it Snow would have no choice but to kill him. Eddie revealed himself to Snow and told his story, pleading with Snow to let Mary finish the race for a chance to finally end the PMs hold on Los Santos. After the conversation had ended Eddie pulled his gun. He knew it couldn't look like he threw the race and he knew doing this would pull all the cops in the city to him and away from Mary, guaranteeing she finished. Snow killed Eddie. 
Following the race Mary got her final meeting with the PM. After a lengthy conversation with Mary for once seeing clearly through all his manipulation, she killed the PM, releasing his hold on the city.
The Curator
After officially being made the owner of the Tuner Shop, Mary was cleaning out Eddie's locker when she found a mysterious laptop. After looking through it she found it gave her the ability to hand out contracts to help restock the Tuner shop. A system she had previously been informed about potentially existing by the Puppet Razor. The shop uses multiple vin scratch cars from the contracts to strip and combine them into a “legal” car.
Mary wanted to test the system and after telling the Yokai that were awake, she decided to create a new persona the “Curator” and contacted Hazel via a Phone booth. She sent him a contract for an Aventador.
With the help of Redline, Hazel completed the contract, and Mary paid the crew 1500GNE, via disguised members of Yokai at a drop off (Patrick, Wade, Dragon, Violet)
Following this Mary decided to continue the persona of the Curator. The next test she assigned to Yokai, unbeknownst to most of the members which they successfully completed. 
Over the next few days she expanded his presence in the city. Making his name and skills and resources known to multiple crews and gangs.  She also expanded the Curator’s structure. using trusted people as “The Collectors” as points of contact during her assignments
She didn't stick only to S+ contracts, creating tasks and quests for people to earn their worth, or redeem themselves for their failure.
Mary handed out multiple contracts and after 4 successful Widebody R35 boosts were completed, the TS was restocked with one. Mary then bought it for herself.
MIllion dollar mistake
W’Kabi was a sales manager for MM, and was wanting to sell his friend a car via their lease to own program, instead of waiting for Patrick to come and complete this properly, W’Kabi sold the car for $1.4m under sticker with no contract for repayment, only his word that his friend was good for it. Without a contract legally the car was gone. 
Mary found out about this and gave W’Kabi 24hrs to fix it or he would be responsible for the money himself. instead W’Kabi quit MM, leaving Patrick to fix the mess. Kabi felt slighted that Mary wouldn't trust him. But this was not how Mary operates in business, everything needs to be done by the book, written down with solid contracts and no method to take advantage of her and not on promises and handshake deals. All she wanted was the mistake to be corrected and a lesson to be learned.
Mary tried to call Kabi however he didn't pick up and after a long text conversation, with Kabi accusing Mary of distributing him despite everything he had sacrificed, implying that he deserted rank more than Fiona, and implicating Mary in crimes, the conversation ended with Kabi accusing Mary of blowing their entire relationship over money and wanting out of Yokai. 
Mary called Kabi to the house where they had another heating argument, in front of Violet, Dragon and Patrick. Mary gave Kabi many outs however he kept on doubling down calling her selfish and lazy and having done nothing for him or yokai. Eventually she had enough and blooded him out. She took his sword and marked him with the typical x on the back by thermal katana. Mary in her anger struck harder than she intended and Kabi ended up in the ICU. She then gave Dragon the katana, giving him a long overdue promototion to full member
The fallout from this for Yokai, was Karina left the crew followed by some Mikomi. Mary saw this as a positive, losing those in the crew for members and not fully committed to Yokai itself. She also reflected that maybe they had been too lax in recruiting as other members had expressed, and in the future this would be much stricter.
 
Gang Gang
Mary has always been a lone wolf in the city, she had had close friends like Eddie, but was never part of a group, until she formed Yokai. But Yokai was different to many groups in the city, in that it was many members' second choice, something Mary enforced to all members that gang came before crew and that members were encouraged to join a gang if they wanted. However this left Mary with few people she could 100% rely on. This all became even more clear after W'kabi was removed from yokai. That someone she thought was ride or die would turn on her like that.
At the same time Mary was approached by 2 groups. 
The first was The Guild. Mary had always been friends with many members of the guild and had only been brought closer with her relationship with Alex. A long time ago the guild orbed Mary, something that was usually reserved as a way to invite members, although this never happened with Mary.
Lando brought Mary to the basement of the ICC and showed her their weapons bench and revealed some guild secrets, before asking Mary to help protect the guild and inviting her into the Guild. Mary accepted, but was unsure whether Lando was just trolling her or it was a serious invitation. Despite this the guild members Mary talked to since all seemed very accepting of her as a member.
The second group to approach Mary was Hydra. Mary had always been very close with Flippy and Miguel, they were 2 people who had always done right by her. They were the first to try and save her after she was caught as R3d and have always supported her, despite many people close to them being against her at times. In return Mary had always been supportive of them
Hydra had been considering bringing in a few more people to hang out as potential members for a while now, and due to their past with Mary she was a first choice.
Together they approached Mary and offered for her to hangout with the whole gang with no expectations to see how they fit. ONe of Mary's previous concerns with joining any gang was them using her for her money and connections and not for her. However with Hydra one of the richest gangs, who had everything they needed, this was no concern.
After waiting for Hydra's war with Rust to end so they could hang out, they finally got their chance. After having some fun with the gang they decide to invite her to drive a meth run for them. The run was uneventful and Mary successfully dropped off the goods, however the PD spotted her at the dropoff. Mary wanted to see if she could get the meth car out herself and a chase began, however time began to run out and the car became damaged so they decided to abandon it. Mary then had the full Hydra experience. jumps, blocks, repairs, swaps ect but Mary couldn't quite lose the cops to go and collect the reward, with time running out Hydra and Mary got into her first proper police shootout. Mary managed to get Suarez but she was unprepared for a shootout and was downed herself, Hydra proceeded to kill countless cops although eventually they were overcome but not before they managed to grab Mary and take her to the payout.
A Lost friend
Around a year previously Mary had given Izzy an ultimatum after she stabbed a yokai member, something that if it was anyone else she would have shot on the spot, stay in the crew but no more hurting people in the crew but if she ever betrayed the them she could leave the crew in a body bag. Izzy agreed and stuck to this; she was one of the most useful and reliable members to Mary since then. After Izzy joined the HOA Mary gave her an out, knowing how gangs operate, if she wanted to dedicate fully to the gang she could leave unharmed.
One day Mary got a call from Izzy asking to meet at an old Yokai initiation spot. Once there Izzy aired out her grievances with the current state of Yokai and told her she was leaving the crew. This all came out of nowhere to Mary and she didn't understand her reasoning initially thinking it was because she wanted to dedicate fully to HOA but Izzy never brought this up as a reason. To Mary they seemed contradictory and flawed. The conversation got heated and Izzy eventually talked herself into getting shot by Mary who felt incredibly betrayed by Izzy, someone she considered her best friend and someone she would do anything for. Mary had upheld their pact, she left in a body bag and was then dumped in the ocean with the help of Hydra who she was hanging with at the time. Eventually she was recovered and brought to the ICU with severe brain damage unlikely to even wake up the same ever again.
Coming so soon after W’kabi left, further cemented into Mary's mind that she couldn't trust anyone. even those who she thought were her most loyal friends. This drove Mary closer to Hydra, due to Miguel and Flippy, who she had known for longer than almost anyone in the city and had always been there for her, despite ample opportunity to snake her, and from a gang known for snaking people, this meant a lot to Mary. their recent invitation to hang out more with them couldn't have come at a better time.
Epilogue
On the 1 year anniversary of Mary's relationship with Alex they were unsure what to do so decided to finally get married after their long engagement. Mary called Greyson (who was weirdly excited) and he agreed to marry them. After getting rings from the candy store, getting changed and inviting friends who were around, they arrived at the courthouse and got married in a short ceremony. A few days later Mary got Haze to make one last contract before he left the city for a bit, her marriage contract. Mary Domino Mushkin, and Alex Mushkin Domino were now official
Mary bought herself a private jet for $5m. After saying her goodbyes, she flew out of the city with Alex for their honeymoon. A no expenses spared cruise around the world on a privately hired cruise ship all to themselves. 
Meanwhile Mary left Patrick in charge of all her businesses as such a competent worker for her how could anything go wrong. She and all her businesses were too big to fail, she would return and be richer than ever. Surely.
To be continued...
