### Debut

November 30th, 2022

Mary Blackwood aka Macabre Mary was an active serial killer for the better part of a decade before being caught and detained. Trademarks from her murder spree included; taking small trophies from her victims to remember them by, an overall Victorian theme, and the endless desire to “improve upon the greats”. Unlike many serial killers, Mary has no specific type of victim that she targets. She is more than happy to kill just about anyone she finds. She was created by The676766 in 2022

## Backstory

Mary was never exactly…normal. When she was 10 years old she left birdseeds on her windowsill, hoping to get a bird to stay still long enough to draw. A few minutes passed before a small bluejay landed and began to peck away at the food given. Mary began to sketch its outline but then stopped. She set her pencil and paper aside and then slowly drew closer and closer to the animal. It looked up to her just as she grabbed it with both hands. As Mary looked down at the small creature an overwhelming dark urge overcame her. The poor animal’s wings flapped and fluttered in her grasp, terrified and desperate to escape as her grip grew tighter and tighter. There was a sickening pop and its neck snapped. After killing the bird it wasn’t uncommon for pets and small animals to go missing in her neighborhood. There were whispers of the weird Blackwood girl being responsible, but no one had any proof she had ever actually done anything.

When Mary was 17 news broke of a particularly violent serial killer loose in her city. As weeks turned to months of the killer leaving body after body in his wake, her mind was filled with fantasies of who this mysterious man could be. He was almost godlike in her grim imagination. When he was finally caught after getting sloppy several times and practically leading the police to his location she was…disappointed. He was so painfully normal. A pathetic middle aged man who targeted young women because of some trauma. She knew she could do better than that.

Over the next 7 years Mary was a walking nightmare across America. Choosing to emulate the Victorian Period, a time of horror and bloodshed, she borrowed aspects from both fiction and reality to make herself a disturbing icon. The remains of her victims (when she wanted them to be found) were so brutalized and disturbed that the full equivalent of whatever she did to them was beyond description. Bodies ripped to shreds in dark alleyways, blood drained from the throats of the tortured, and some burned to death as if a demon had blown hellfire upon them. Chainsaws, claws, reverse beartraps, scythes, butcher’s knives, axes, all the weapons you’d expect from a Slasher villain were the tools of her trade. But it was her pièce de résistance that proved to be the most twisted of her crimes; she sewed together pieces of flesh and the internal parts from over a dozen victims to create the body of man. Her homage to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

Thankfully, this rapid increase in victims was enough to have her be the most wanted woman in America. As she was being handcuffed she smiled (probably one of few times she ever has smiled in her life) for even though she was being arrested she had done what she had sought out to do. There was no serial killer in human history as feared and sought after as herself. She was sentenced to life in a Supermax facility where she is currently cellmates with Aphrodite Fiorella
