## Appearance

Very long, wavy black hair; normally her hair is in a braided style or in a bun before she cut it; after she cut it it falls to her shoulders in a puffy bob style. Gray eyes that can be described has 'sharp.' Pale skin with slight freckles. Wears mostly dresses, skirts, and heels and is very good at functioning in them. A very old fashioned type of pretty.) Very strong, though not super stocky, enough to lift people in the infirmary easily. She looks intimidating until she opens her mouth. Danielle has two scars from her fight with Axel. One on her chin and the other near her hairline too the left side (looking at her). The one by the hairline is super easy to miss. She also has a few 'smaller' scars, mostly on her arms and legs, from her weapon and other survival training. They're not has noticeable (because they're not on her face).She got lucky, up until her fight with Axel, that she didn't scar anywhere on her face.

## Personality

Headstrong and determined. Maybe a little to trusting at times, but once trust is lost it's hard to get back. Quite kind, and very comforting. She really wants to be seen has put together and almost perfect, this can and has caused her to burn out. She's very graceful, to a point where it can be unsettling. And when that grace is broken that means something is very wrong. She's kinda like a very fancy combat medic

## Skills

God (Grand)mother: Danielle Achebe, moved to the USA at 13 years old (and began using an American name) with her parents. She's calm but witty and funny. She currently in her 70s. She met young Danielle's parents while being transferred to a hospital by helicopter, something when wrong and there was an accident that left Mary and Phoenix to be the only uninjured people on the helipad (helicopter crew where hurt). They where helping unload Danielle the Older. And while everyone was trapped on the roof Mary, Danielle, and Phoenix all got to know one another. Danielle also pushed Phoenix to ask out Mary. They named their daughter after her. She has gray hair with normally styed into a high fluffy bun. She from Africa and has very dark skin. She has very large glasses. She enjoys wearing bright colors. She doesn't have a weapon.

Mary never had a good relationship with her parents, they disapproved greatly of her research and beliefs. She ended up cutting ties with them.
