## Appearance

## Abilities and Skills

* **Witch Physiology** - Mary is a witch, which essentially just means she a regular human with extra features such as the ability to use magic (specifically), can sense magic and has a longer life span then a human.
	+ **Empathic Retrocognition** - Mary possessed the ability of retrocognition, that upon touching another person experiencing extreme emotion will trigger a vision of the past will happen. Mary can recall any event that happened in the past, even obscure, intricate events. Occasionally spontaneous. This ability shows who did what at that particular time; similar to the psionic/extrasensory ability of Clairvoyance but only seeing anything from the past, despite not being there.

## Etymology

* Mary is the English form of Marie which is the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names *Μαριάμ (Mariam)* and *Μαρία (Maria)* — the spellings are interchangeable — which were from Hebrew *מִרְיָם (Miryam)*, a name borne by the sister of Moses in the Old Testament. The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However, it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from *mry* "beloved" or *mr* "love".
* Rose was originally a Norman French form of the Germanic name *Hrodohaidis* meaning "famous type", composed of the elements *hruod* "fame" and *heit* "kind, sort, type". The Normans introduced it to England in the forms *Roese* and *Rohese*. From an early date it was associated with the word for the fragrant flower *rose* (derived from Latin *rosa*). When the name was revived in the 19th century, it was probably with the flower in mind.
* Astrug is a variant derived from Provençal *astruc* "lucky", ultimately from Greek *aster* "star" and thus having the extended meaning of "born under a good star". It was generally given as an amuletic name and sometimes used as a translation of Hebrew Mazel Tov and/or Gad which means "fortune, luck" in Hebrew.
