Mary Lynn Wyllt

Daughter of Merlin

**Main Article**

### How does Mary Lynn fit into it?

As the younger daughter of Merlin, even if only by a few minutes, Mary Lynn does not have a Legacy and frankly, she is fine with that. She learned early on that her twin sister Morrigan was put under a lot of pressure because of that legacy, and she did feel like Morrigan was better suited to handle such pressure. What she didn't sign up for though, is not having an ounce of magic herself. When she was younger she had a hard time understanding why she couldn't be with her sister, learning magic too. Her parents thought maybe she is just a late bloomer, but she never ever showed any magical talent at all. When Mary Lynn finally realized that she is magically untalented, she was devastated. She felt like a failure, like a disgrace to her family, but her mother lifted her spirits up again and a letter from her father telling her how proud he is of her helped as well. While Morrigan was off practicing and learning Magic at King Arthur's Court, her mother taught her the 'magic of music' and how to play the harp, which she mastered extraordinarily fast, and she also developed an angelic singing voice able to accompany her harp play. She developed these skills mainly for herself though, playing or singing in front of someone that is not her mother or sister terrifies her as, unlike her sister, Mary Lynn doesn't like too much attention be put onto herself, which may be another reason for her not to identify as Royal or Rebel.

#### Morrigan Wyllt, Twin Sister

  Dialogue
**Morrigan Wyllt**: "*Okay, what is going on lil Sis? Why aren't you talking to me? What did I do now?!*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*Why ain't I talking to you? Oh, I don't know. It's not that I'm an important part of your life anyway.*"
**Morrigan Wyllt**: "*hat are you talking about? You know how important you are to me?!*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*Apparently not important enough to share that I even exist. I knew all of your friends from your letters....yet none of them seem to know me...*"
**Morrigan Wyllt**: "*...oh....so that's what this is about?*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*Are you ashamed of me? Because I don't have magic like you do?*"
**Morrigan Wyllt**: "*Not at all!*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*Then why have you never told anyone about me?*"
**Morrigan Wyllt**: "*Because...you achieved so much in your life - the harp, the singing, just to name the big ones - you are so incredibly impressive. And what do I have aside from my magic? Nothing really. Magic is all that I'm good at. Naturally good at I didn't even have to work much for it, really. I was just so afraid that, if I mention you they would want to learn more. And then they would realize that the real prodigy of our family is you...and they would lose all interest in me! ... Wow. Now that I say it out loud I realize how stupid and that is. I am so sorry, Mal. Can you forgive your stupid big sister one more time?*"
— Morrigan Wyllt and **Mary Lynn Wyllt** reconciling.
One huge point of conflict was, when Mary Lynn started attending Ever After High and learned, that her sister apparently didn't even mention her to anyone at all. Thinking Morrigan was ashamed of her little sister she just stopped talking to Morrigan at some point, which naturally didn't go unnoticed. When Morrigan confronted her about it, Morrigan promised her that it had nothing to do with shame. Quite the contrary, she was afraid that if she told anyone what an amazingly impressive sister she has, she could lose the attention of everyone.

#### Lana Du Lac

**Lana Du Lac**: "*I-I had no idea Morrigan had a sister, she never said anything!*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*That's not surprising. I'm quite boring, honestly. There's nothing exciting to tell about me. I don't have a legacy, I don't even have magic powers, like my sister*"
**Lana Du Lac**: "*I envy you...*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*Really...Why?*"
**Lana Du Lac**: "*With no legacy, you can do and become whatever you want with no one telling you otherwise as no one is depending on you following your destiny...*"
**Mary Lynn Wyllt**: "*I...I guess?*"
**Lana Du Lac**: "*And I bet you aren't even as boring as you claim to be!*"
