OCCUPATION AND SOCIAL STATUS
ย ย ย ย ย Marlene earns a living working in the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office at the Ministry of Magic. She pursued this position for multiple reasons, namely her extensive knowledge of Muggle items. The young woman spent copious time in the Muggle world as a child due to her parentsโ rejection of their Pureblood ancestry. While the McKinnon family always possessed magic, living among Muggles in London meant learning certain customs to maintain the International Statute of Secrecy. As a result, the Misuse of Muggle Artefacts Office feels congenial and familiar. While Marlene frequently deals with maltreatment of Muggle objects, seeing these objects reminds her of her simpler childhood. They also remind her of the valiant effort her parents exerted to ensure help Grindelwaldโs master plot failed. The McKinnon name has been tainted in Pureblood circles for running away to protect the very people blood supremacists despise. Their role in the war against Gellert Grindelwald and his followers has earned them no comrades among Purebloods, even with Grindelwaldโs certain defeat. Despite the adversity they have faced, Marlene and her parents push on toward a better future for magical folk and Muggles alike.
AFFILIATION AND POSITION
ย ย ย ย ย Choosing the Order of the Phoenix felt like a no-brainer to Marlene McKinnon. Insurgence and intrepidity seemed weaved into her very essence from a young age. Her parents forwent their societal upbringing to fight for a species of humans their families refused to acknowledge as equals. They traded their immaculate chandeliers and pristine cutlery for secondhand china with visible cracks. Fighting for the protection of Muggles and wizards alike earned them a reputation that Marlene McKinnon ultimately cannot ignore. Gellert Grindelwaldโs supremacist aspirations were dashed before Marleneโs birth, but the war lingered her childhood household. For example, the inch to fiercely protect love ones never left her parents. Consequently, Marlene joined the Order of the Phoenix to honor them. Alfred and Williamina McKinnon discovered their inner bravery and cast their own aside to pursue the right path. Perhaps the same spirit lingers deep within Marlene and is waiting to be unleashed.
ย ย ย ย ย Her fiercest friendships at Hogwarts also encouraged her to volunteer for the Order. It is evident that she lacks some passion for the cause, while this fervor blooms like wildfire in her peers; however, Marlene McKinnon refused to remain idle while her dearest companions risk their lives, especially after the Hogwarts attack. She vowed to assist their cause however she can, praying it will awaken her vigor and not earn her a premature death. Upon joining the Order, she fell into their ranks as a soldier. Her assigned specialty was intel because Marlene presents as far more defenseless and passive than her counterparts. Her doe-eyed expressions and tattered fragments of childhood merriment instinctively draw fire away. She was meant to take advantage of her sweetness that draws others near. Like insects drawn to illumination, her orders have included clinging to the girlish witch inside her that dissipated long ago. Despite her knack for enchantment and Dark magic detection, she has not been entrusted on any attack missions. Perhaps this remains for the best to ensure Marlene McKinnon does not become synonymous with a dewy-eyed doe caught in headlights.
