## Biography

### Personality

Marzipan is a smart girl when it comes to making her way around the kitchen. With other people, she's more unsure of herself - her intentions are mainly to bring the smiles to people that her father has over the years, so she worries a lot about how she's doing

### Appearance

She is a bit shorter than some of her other siblings, has bright blue eyes, and is covered in little freckles. Pale like the sweet confection that she's named after, she has long, wavy blonde hair with chocolate chip cookie brown, and dark blueberry blue streaks in it. She tries to hide them, but she also has braces.

**Her *usual* outfit consists of:** a dress with a blue plaid pattern, with muffins on top of it. She wears a white apron with a see-through blue lace around the collar and the bottom part, which has a big cookie on it. The sleeves to her dress share the same blue, see-through lace as her apron; the collar of her dress does, as well. The bottom part of her dress where the other fabric pulls away, is usually some paler shade of blue, maybe with little polka-dots of a darker blue or a brown similar to that of the cookie on her apron.

In her hair, is a ribbon made of the same see-through blue lace that is used throughout the rest of what she wears. On top of it is a little hair pin that looks like a white chef's hat. It has white jewels on it, and a little muffin on top, with a smaller cherry on top of that.

Marzipan's other jewelry is similar to her hair pin. She wears dangly earrings that look like little white chef's hats, made of tiny gems. On her upper right ear, she wears a little ear cuff with a muffin on it. And on her right hand, she wears a ring with a muffin on it. The last thing, is a gold necklace with an 'M' on it, for her name.

Her shoes usually follow the blue, brown, muffin or cookie theme.

## Fairy tale – "The Muffin Man"

### "The Muffin Man" is a nursery rhyme based off of the real sweets delivery men in early nineteenth century England.

It is a traditional nursery rhyme, children's song, or children's game of English origin. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7922.

The man in question, who lived on Drury Lane in London, may have been a man whose profession was delivering baked goods such as English muffins or it may have been an impoverished beggar man (like a *ragamuffin*).

**Notes:**

* The rhyme was first recorded in a British manuscript circa 1820, that is preserved in the Bodleian Library with lyrics very similar to those used today.
* Victorian households had many of their fresh foods delivered, such as muffins, which were delivered door-to-door by a vendor known as a muffin man. The "muffin" in question was the bread item known as an English muffin, not the typically sweeter U.S. variety of muffin. Drury Lane is a thoroughfare bordering Covent Garden in London.
* The rhyme and game appear to have spread to other countries in the mid-nineteenth century, particularly the US and the Netherlands. As with many traditional songs, there are regional variations in wording; for example, another popular English version substitutes "Dorset Lane" for Drury Lane, while in the Dutch version (entitled 'Zeg ken jij de mosselman'), mussels are substituted for muffins, and Scheveningen, the fishermans harbour near the Hague, for Drury Lane.

### The Story from Marzipan Muffet's Point of View

###### Marzipan is one of a 'baker's dozen.' She is a middle child, born to Little Miss Muffet, and the original Muffin Man himself.

She is excited to fulfill her destiny to be one of the next sweets deliverers for the other fairy tale families. As this destiny is on-going, she will either eventually take over for her father, or be his helper until he can no longer do his job. The only difference in her story, is in having a mother who's still learning to cook. ~

As a little girl, Marzipan always looked up to her father. Being as good as he was, to end up with such a popular bakery and songs sang about him? It was *everything* that she ever dreamed about.

Told by her mother many times both the story of how she met her father, and how she should always avoid spiders, Marzipan was always one to hang around the kitchen. Which was not hard, given that they lived - and still do live - in a place above their giant bakery on Drury Lane. *The place that Marzipan is happiest.*

### History

Life before Ever After High, or another school.

## Relationships

### **Family**

#### The *(other 12 of the)* Drury Lane "Baker's Dozen": Marzipan's siblings.

Dacquoise, Divinity, Blueberry, Kissel, Financier, Madeleine, Genoa, Taiyaki, Flummery, Amandine, Mille-feuille, Cinnamon, and  Dundee.

### **Friends**

Most of the time, she hangs around with her family. She is a bit shy when it comes to other people, as she is always worried that they might secretly be judging her, as well as her cooking.

### Romance

She has convinced herself that she is 'married to her sweets.' This is mostly because any time she is around a boy that she finds attractive, she gets very nervous and clumsy -- but, also because she thinks her sisters are likely the more likely choices, since she thinks that they're prettier than her.

### Enemies

People who are mean to other people or to animals for no reason, really get under her skin. Marzipan is usually really agreeable, so other than that..does the big oven she keeps getting burned on count?

### Pet

#### ***Marzipan's Pet***

Her pet is a little squirrel with a chipped tooth. A pale butterscotch color, Marzipan took to calling the blue-eyed critter " '*Scotchie*." Aside from cooking, her pet squirrel is her other joy in life.

### Fun-facts about Marzipan:

* She has a bad habit of chewing on gum even though she knows that it's going to get caught on her braces.
* While she cooks, she hums or dances a little - if no one is around. If she's caught, whatever is in her hands usually ends up in the floor..with her apologizing, blushing, and trying to clean it up.
* When she blushes, she blushes hard.
* Flour makes her sneeze if it gets on her face.
* Even though it's the complete opposite of what her family is known for, Marzipan has a thing for spicy and hot foods.
* When she's nervous and not thinking about it, she has a habit of chewing on her lip (sometimes making it bleed) and / or spinning her ring around on her finger, taking it off, toying with it, and putting it back on.

## (More) notes

* The most I know in the order of characters I have made, is that she is one of many siblings.
* Here on the Mirror Portal, her first publish date is today: 11/17/21.
* Her mother's last name was used for her and all of her siblings, because her father didn't have one.
