Mary Lector

Mary Lector is a Danganronpa OC that has been transferred into Lizard's latest book project, Future's Hope: Fanganronpa and has been given the talent, Ultimate Hypnotist. She was originally known as the Ultimate Robotics Engineer and used on Amino, but due to heavy character changes, she has become her own character.

## Personality:

Mary is prideful and egotistical, she doesn't care if she's loved or feared. She puts on a display to others as a kind and gentle saint, but to those she opposes, she is an villainous devil who will not hesitate to rip her opponents apart as they beg for their lives. She will typically spend her time separate from others and prefers to be alone in her tower and talk to her Monokumas. She can have a soft spot for some (most notably Falcon) and can be provocative and flirtatious.

## Backstory:

Mary was born into the wealthy and aristocratic Lector family, although her mother would die a few months after giving birth to her. How they got their money wasn't exactly by being kind to the locals, or anyone for that matter. The family has a grip in the political landscape of her birth state of Verrock and its reaches spread wider then that still. Mary was also one of many children, and being the youngest meant she very often had to prove herself in the eyes of her parents in order to get a slight amount of validation. Of course, being a daughter born of this family meant her parents didn't view much of her, especially her father, who would view her as a burden on the family for not being properly 'equipped' for running the business in the future, as he deemed it to be a 'man's job'. Since her family was connected in politics however, this did mean that Mary learnt a lot about the subject at such an early age, although she kept the information mainly to herself... for now.

Growing up was almost an inevitable curse to her. She wanted to stay innocent, she wanted to be ignorant to the suffering her family was causing which was swept under the rug, she didn't want to be associated with it. Mary learnt what her father was doing, he was practically almost tearing the city apart for his personal gain, at least that was how Mary saw the system her father had built for her family. Mary was never sent to a public school, instead her father paid for her to have a private tutor to aid her studies. Mary learnt a lot in this period, mastering various languages and becoming an expert in the writing field, but one side she seemed more interested in was sociology and politics, but her father refused to teach her this, much to her dismay. During these times, Mary turned to her sister, and at one point, even saw her as a mother figure due to her actual mother dying before she could even properly remember her.

When she turned 13, shit hit the fan in the worst way possible. Her father's view of her was steadily changing for the worse. Instead of being viewed now as a burden and being treated as such, she was suddenly being treated with far more respect, she was allowed fancy dresses and extravagant outfits and was finally able to talk to people outside of her family and was able to finally communicate with the people in her family's book of connections, such as politicians and other wealthy families, she was also often taken to parties. Why the shift in treatment? Because of her age and how her maturity and appearance seemed years ahead of her, you can tell where this is going. She wasn't being viewed as a burden, but as a bargaining chip for her father's disposal. Mary, along with making friends with these politicians, billionaires and their adult offspring was pushed by her family to wear more revealing clothing, act differently, wear makeup, etc.

The first major event was at her first party. The child of a billionaire she was good friends with pursued her at the event and made her have sex with him and his friends. She was gang raped, to put it bluntly. As well as this, it would be this night that her sister, Marie, would escape in order to avoid a similar fate. When Mary told her father, he simply congratulated her and told her to 'stop overreacting'. This lead to her yelling at him and them getting into an argument, which ending in him telling her 'it's the only thing you'll be good for here! You'll never be a politician, ditch your fairy-tale ending and wake up to reality'. It would happen again, and again, and again. Mary would be slut shamed by her own brothers once they found out, she would be laughed out often and bullied, even ending with them sexually assaulting her at one point. This lead to Mary developing her hypersexuality, she wanted to feel in control in these situations, she wanted to have power in whatever way she could get, since she wasn't going to get any other way. That's when she discovered her way, and power, with words and how she could use them to her advantage.

Mary would end up manipulating her way up the chain, using her silky words like daggers as she hypnotised people to doing her bidding. Mainly by getting horny men who had high and powerful statuses and pretending to sleep with them, only to get hypnotised. Mary figured that the more emotion her target was feeling, the more effective her hypnosis would be, and she used this strategy to confront her father. That's when she learnt of a new emotion she could use to target him specifically... *Despair.* Her plan took a years of careful planning and plotting to come to fruition. She would target those he knew in his circle, his friends, his business, his sons. All of them were soon under her control as she worked her way to him.

News broke out that Mary Lector's brothers had committed suicide after killing their own wives and children. Her father was mortified. The news had got to him first, and he tried his best to stop the spread of this news, with his level of money, it was possible, but others who did have the same money, and those who had their daughters married off to these men and then killed, wanted this story to be released, they wanted to cause the Lector family the same pain their sons had caused after they killed their daughters. There was a furious legal battle between the several powerful families that raged on for months and it caused the father to snap regularly, to loose his footing, to fall from his pedestal of grace and tumble downwards.

One day, the father called his lawyers and a other few politicians to a private meeting to discuss these problems... But he wasn't expecting a surprise arrival of Mary, his daughter. She revealed to have orchestrated the whole thing. She had hypnotised the brothers into killing their wives and then themselves, and she now had the power over his own lawyers and politician friends. How did she demonstrate this power? By making them kill themselves, of course! And they did, fulfilling her orders as her father lay there, watching his friends and way of escape out of this catastrophe crumble before him. That's when Mary cornered him, and hypnotised him in his own grieving despair. She took control of the company. Having it passed onto her by her father *willingly* and she surprisingly did a brilliant job. She kept the scandal under the rug by hypnotising those that fought against her. Although, there were still those that held more power then her, and despite herself, the city was still falling to shit. That was when she got an invitation from Hope's Peak School/College, inviting her to be the Ultimate Politician.

Once the country started to fall apart, Verrock was the first. Surprising everyone, considering the place's military and technology. Verrock was probably the centre of this despair, since Mary heard of the Tragedy in Japan, she fashioned an army of Monokumas in the image of the ones in Japan, and she used them to carry out her orders. As well as this, once her city fell into despair, she practically scooped it up as she let out a broadcasted speech which hypnotised most who saw it, turning them into zealots who worshipped her as if she were a god. However, she did help these people, repairing all that was lost and making sure they all had a place to stay and regular delicious food... *A city of cannibals...*
