Mariella Addler is a character role-played by Momojiros (Does not stream atm)

## Description

Mariella has black, wavy hair, occasionally she will have it tied back. She has emerald green eyes and fair skin, with freckles. She most often wears a teal/turquoise colored top, though what top often changes, and black skinny pants. She often wears heels or green snugs. She has cut out styled eyebrows.
When working she wears a long sleeved, white button down with a red vest over it, black pants, and black heels.

Her biggest goal is to make friends and to not have to struggle to get by. She has trouble making friends, however, due to anxiety and often will hang around the edge of a party by herself. She cannot bring herself to start conversations face to face, but talks more freely in texts and on twitter. Once she becomes more comfortable around someone, her silliness and dorkiness shines through, and she sometimes has to be told to shut up. She's a very contact affection kind of person, she's especially not afraid to hug and/or kiss even just her friends (With their consent). She is too easy to embarrass and often speaks before thinking, getting herself into trouble at times. The smallest gestures can cause her to feel extremely emotional as well.

## Background Information

Marie was born Mariella Grace Addler in a Chicago hospital to Jack and Sandra Addler on September 9th, 1992. Sandra was unemployed and decided to become a stay at home mother. Jack, on the other hand, was a very notable private investigator in Chicago and, due to the nature of his work, was often unaware of what was going on at home.

Marie's mother often showed a discontent kind of attitude towards her circumstances and wouldn't try very hard to hide it, either. She often would leave Marie unattended, for up to hours at a time, in order to go out and meet men. In April of 1998, when Marie was 5, her mother filed for divorce. The judge ruled for a split custody and, since that day, Saturdays and Wednesdays have been the days she was allowed to see her father, occasionally her mother would drop her off for an extra few days or a holiday.

When Marie was 10, her mother decided they would move out of state without warning, breaking the custody agreement. Before this point, Marie had mostly been ignored/neglected by her mother and was content to spend those days on her own. After they moved, they initially settled in Richmond, Virginia, living with a friend of her mother's. This was the first of many other places Marie would live in, this was also the first time Marie would have to experience physical and emotional abuse from her mother, who had become tired of having to raise a child, but wanted complete control over her child's life at the same time.

A year later, they moved again, this time to Portland, Maine. Her mother had decided to take a business management job and they relocated her three months later to Burlington, Vermont. Marie, at the time, was in public school, however after a counselor attempted to reach Sandra to talk about her daughter, she withdrew Marie from the school and placed her in a Catholic school.

Between the ages of 13 and 16, Marie and her mother lived in 5 different states. Moving around so much had caused Marie to become a bit reclusive, knowing that any friends she makes will end up being left behind not long later. With each move, her mother became more and more paranoid and often took it out on Marie when she was home. This has caused Marie to find the most comfort in being by herself and often she would stay up late just to sneak out and find somewhere peaceful to let out her own emotions.

From 16 - 21 years old, Marie lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, where she graduated high school. Her mother said she would pay for her college tuition, but ONLY if Marie studied nursing. So Marie went into nursing school, where she became known as a "Party girl for hire". People would pay her just to show up at parties and hype it up online to get more people to show up, and she was mostly successful in this.

After 3 years of college, Marie was successful in reaching out to her father and he bought her a plane ticket to Chicago. She promptly dropped out of college and took up her father's offer to reunite. Wednesdays, after this, became a day where Marie does not work because those were the days her father always took off just to spend time with her.

A year before coming to Los Santos, Sandra reached out to Marie in an attempt to rekindle some kind of relationship with her daughter. Marie, more than willing to give her mother another chance, took up an offer for the two of them to meet up. After a brief conversation, Sandra started becoming aggressive and arguing with Marie, shoving her a few times before pulling a knife out of her bag. Marie, terrified for her life and not seeing a way of getting away from her, pulled her registered firearm on her mother and demanded her to stop. Sandra refused and lunged towards Marie, who shot her in defense. Sandra later died in the hospital and it was ruled as a self defense by police.

## List of Major Events

#### Her First Day

Marie arrived in Los Santos on Friday, July 23rd, 2021. At the time she just kind of walked about, getting a feel for the city, when two men, one in an eagle mask, pulled over and then had her get in their trunk. They drove to a location, but then told her she was free to go when they arrived at their destination and nothing was there. Confused, but a little relieved, she left and continued on her way.

She later attended the Masquerade/Auction hosted by the Vanilla Unicorn, which she found to be quite pleasant and enjoyed it. Later, she was seen at Tequila Tony's, during their karaoke contest, leaning against the wall and enjoying the music.

At some point, she was walking along a road by herself when a blue car pulls over and a man hops out and talks to her. This man turns out to be Smiles and he kidnaps her at this moment. They converse casually as he drives to a secluded location. Marie, unsure what will happen to her, already begins mentally bracing herself for the worst. Once stopped and out of the car, Smiles talks a little more to Marie and promises not to kill her, before attacking her. As he leaves, he alerts 911 and she is left in extreme pain, waiting for responders.

Three officers arrive, one talking to Marie while the other two follow where Smiles drove off. The officer chats with Marie while waiting for EMS to arrive, receiving a description of her attacker as best Marie could remember. EMTs Zach and Amy arrive on the scene and take over assisting Marie. The put splints on both her legs and she is put in the ambulance. On the way to Pillbox, the ambulance is involved in a vehicular incident and Marie is thrown from the ambulance.

At Pillbox, it is discovered that both of Marie's legs are broken and she is given the option of thick casts or lighter casts after surgery on both legs. She chooses the latter and is put under anesthesia, which takes a while to kick in for her. Dr. Chloe performs the surgery on both legs and later, once Marie has woken up, puts her in her casts and gives her crutches. This event caused Marie to be fearful of entering a vehicle with another person and prompted her to buy a cheap car for herself and a weapons license for her own protection and comfort.
