LEGACY (WHO WERE THEIR PARENTS?)  OR DISCOVERED (WHAT MADE THEM SPECIAL?):

Mabel Pines is the granddaughter of Stanley Pines, a world renown researcher of the paranormal, needless to say highly intelligent, and great-niece of Stanford Pines, an ex-conman who now uses his skills of deceit and fraud for the government, although his history with them is in the darker gray area, leaving his true intentions unknown. Mabel’s father has been working in the CIA as a hacker and has a wide range of skills and knowledge involving computers. Her mother is a field agent/stay-at-home mom. She took less missions after Mabel and her twin brother were born.

HOW MANY YEARS HAVE THEY BEEN AT AAE?: First year.

SPECIALTY & LEVEL: Level one, diplomacy and deceit. She’s been acknowledged for her aim and tactics in combat. And she’s talented in craftsmanship and forgery. She’s quick to notice things as long as her emotions aren’t distracting her from the truth.

WEAKNESS(ES): Heights. Claymation, though more manageable than since she was a child. Her family. Most of all, her emotions. Once you earn her complete and utter trust, she’ll trust you over anybody despite the situation at hand, a lethal trait to have, especially since the breach. She’s too forgiving for her own and the school’s good. She runs more on instinct than logic. And then there’s the whole Bill Cipher incident from when she was twelve… fortunately for her, the night terrors have stopped.

Mostly.

BIO (LONG OR SHORT AS YOU WANT): 

For a family of spies, Mabel grew up in a pretty normal family. Sure, her dad knew how to break the firewall into files from North Korea, her mom’s ‘business trips’ often included her leaving for months on end and all communication from her could end up completely in French, and her brother was able to decode the entire Kryptos cipher when they were ten, but it was pretty solid. Mabel and her brother even met their great-uncle Stanford Pines, his legal name to her knowledge, and grandfather Stanley Pines, who had an entire bunker for the apocalypse with multiple monsters frozen inside.

The moment she and her brother were invited, they jumped on the chance to join a spy school. However, Mabel’s optimistic and cheery personality clashed the school almost instantaneously when she arrived. She knew of her own potential, she couldn’t have survived the Bill Cipher ordeal otherwise, but saw how her own assets worked against her.  Deceit and forgery prove to go against her morals of lying. Her natural instincts in battle are hindered by her hate for malice against others. Academics have never been her strong suit. Her instinctive nature must be overshadowed with a logical one. Her positive outlook on life gets ridiculed by her teachers and peers for being unrealistic in their eyes. 

Fortunately for her, her kind and helpful nature guilt others enough to not to be mocked for much else, if not silently judged. She is looked down upon, her peers believing the only reason she got in was because of her lineage, which she slowly begins to believe. Despite that, she’s willing to do combat to an extent and her loyalty keeps her from exposing too much during interrogation. She has an intelligence is above average to a point, her grandfather being a tutor during her childhood.

It doesn’t hurt that she’s determined to make her family proud either, even if it kills her.

ALLEGIANCE TO AAE (LOVE IT? HATE IT?  ARE THEY UNDERCOVER FOR SNOW? DO THEY WORK FOR BREACH?): She’s undecided.
