Finally finished a character Bio for my Fallen Hero MC, Maryam Qadir

Eye color: grey

Hair color and style: dark brown and styled in a neat Bob cut.

Face claim: Heidy Karam

Physical description: Maryam appears to be a Middle Eastern woman with a light olive complexion in her early thirties. Average height and with a pear-shaped body type, with a heart shaped face, noticeable eye bags, thin eyebrows with a small scar bisecting the left brow, an aquiline nose, and a small mouth with a prominent cupids bow.

Heart Break scar: outsider

Expletive: Son of a bitch!

Likes: Caffeine, death metal, musical theatre, dogs, cats

Dislikes: looking to long in the mirror, dealing with feelings

Romantic interests: F!Dr.Mortum & Ricardo Ortega

Personality: Maryam is intelligent and empathetic, which makes her a very good actress when necessary. Being able to read off the intentions and mood of the people around her and play the part accordingly when needed. This has served her well over the years, especially when she needs to lie or manipulate someone to further her plans. She's very private about her personal life even with those who she considers friends, their are still things she keeps secret. She doesn't forgive easily, even back in her hero days she was known to hold petty grudges against Steel and would often retaliate with pranks and verbal barbs when she felt wronged. She's was always very curious, which caused some issues back on the farm. She was well known to have a sense of humor back in her hero days, trading friendly quips and banter with Ortega and Anathema, or bickering with Steel. She doesn't joke around as easily as she used to but when she does joke they tend to be more along the lines of gallows humor. Maryam tends to be very hard and critical of herself especially when she remembers how she was like back in her Sidestep days, and has intense self loathing about her past and current actions. She also has some issues about control in her personal life, she takes comfort in having a certain order to things weather it's her living space, preparing her coffee, or changing her hair, personal wardrobe and makeup. Even with things like touch she prefers to do things on her terms. Sadly when it comes to things like dreams, memories, and her personal feelings she isn't as in control as she'd like and that terrifies Maryam. She hates the thought of losing control of herself just as much as she hates how the Farm trying to control her.  She wanted her own life and identity so badly losing that identity either to the madness she glimpsed in other villains minds or having it taken away from her by the Farm again would be worse than death to Maryam.

Puppet

Name: John Doe

Gender:  Male

Height: 6ft (182.88cms)

Physical description: A tall young man in his twenties of mixed ethnicity, with tanned completion and Slim athletic build. He has a square jawline, dimpled chin, a full mouth, hollow cheekbones, and almond shaped eyes.

Personality: John is charismatic, charming and clever. He's very good at reading a person or situation and acting accordingly, which has served him well with some of his more volatile clientele being able to sooth tempers, or redirect aggression when necessary.

Misc. Info & Headcanon:

•Maryam never actually chose the name she uses now. When she was wandering around after first escaping from the farm she befriended an elderly refugee couple, Muna and Amir. Muna had Alzheimers and started calling her Maryam thinking she was her dead daughter. Muna's husband Amir initially too pity on her, thinking Maryam was a homeless run away, but quickly became disturbed when she took playing house too far by mimicking his deceased daughter.

•Anathema introduced Maryam to musical theatre and when they were both bored they often used to sing excerpts from their favorite performances. It used to drive Steel crazy.

•When Maryam was first starting out as a vigilante she hid her identity wearing goggles and a scarf wrapped around her head kind of like a hijab. It made it easier for her to blend in with the Arab and Muslim refugees in Los Diablos.

•Back in her Sidestep Maryam used to wear bright colored makeup and black and blue spiked bracelets with her costume. It even became a bit of a fashion trend among her teenage and young adult fans, to wear spiked bracelets and bright colored lipstick.

•Maryam has mixed feelings about her old Sidestep fan-merch, and there was an incident where a cosmetic company tried to make her a spokesperson for their Sidestep inspired lipstick line. Maryam quickly shut them down when she learned how shady the company's business and how dangerous the cosmetics actually were. So they were pulled off before ever coming to market and are considered the holy grail of rare Sidestep merch. Herald of course owns the rare sample cosmetic set and even some of the promotional advertising for the lipstick that was never used.

•Maryam is well known to hold petty grudges when she felt offended even in her hero days. Sometimes she used to prank Steel when she was especially mad at him, and one time she got him by rigging a glitter bomb. It took Steel weeks to get all of that glitter out of his armor, and even longer to get Ortega to stop laughing about it.

•After her second escape Maryam used to often disguise or alter her appearance whenever she went out. Wigs, colored contacts, different styled outfits and full make up to hide or alter her facial features. She even disguised herself as a nun when she infiltrated the hospital to physically retrieve her puppet.

•When Maryam first started interacting with people as her puppet, John, she'd unconsciously mimic some of Ortega's speech and mannerisms. Or more specifically didn't realize she was projecting things she remembers Ortega saying or doing that she found attractive. Eventually Maryam started building and evolving off of those traits, and mixing in some of her own to eventually evolve into John's current persona.

•While Maryam is reserved about showing off skin her puppet John is not. He will often lounge around Dr. Mortums lab in various states of undress like a Calvin Klein model, or think nothing much of answering the door wearing just a towel.

•When John/Maryam commissioned Dr. Mortum to design the Revenant suit they had the Doctor add a few stylistic touches. There is detailing in the armor that makes it resemble a skeleton and the mirrored helmet has an etched skull decal, that becomes more visible under certain lighting or when up close. Along with the dark color scheme and cape the overall appearance is very cryptic and gives off a grim reaper like aesthetic.
