If you can get Marcel to laugh you’re in, he loves a good laugh another sure way is show your worth, your own strength without making it seem like you’re challenging his, because this man has a huge alpha vibe going. Though he was raised by warlocks, Marcel doesn’t align himself with them, he thinks of himself and Carmen as chaotic neutral parties. Which is why being sent back in time for whatever war is brewing really pisses him off, he and Carmen had real plans going but on the plus, now they have advantages in the year 200, so the year 2032 can wait. 

✘ to briefly explain “how” she is what she is. she’s the result of one of the few covens who dabbled in experiments to create the perfect powerful being. presumably as a weapon. teamed up with another coven in hopes of raising these babies to, ahem, breed and create a new-age coven. in other words, the perfect weapon. ✘ that’s pretty much all she knows because once she found out that she wasn’t born out of love, she lost control and blacked out. when she came around, she was sat in the middle of a village that was now burned to ash. so from the age of eight she was on her own.  ✘ her younger life is a bit of a blur now, not that she chooses to dwell on it regardless. all she knows is that there was a point in her twenties when she realised she had stopped ageing, that her power kept growing but at the very least she had learned how to control herself ( to the best of her ability, anyway. ) ✘ she pretty much travelled alone, posing as someone she wasn’t in order to get close to the things she wanted. usually, it was a case of stealing from sleazy rich men, sometimes they didn’t even have to be sleazy. she’s instantly attracted to anything that shines and has safe places around the world that hold her possessions. ✘ two centuries ago, she met @marcelignis and the familiarity of him was something she could sense from the start. she wouldn’t have argued it was fate that brought them together. fleecing a corrupt town mayor for what he’s worth seems more appropriate. if it was anyone else she supposed they would have been a rival but hey, don’t blame a girl for being curious about him. ✘ he was attractive. no, screw that, he was handcrafted by god himself. naturally, she wanted to know more about him. there was a lot of banter and even a few pranks that were thrown back and forth, like they were toying with each other, testing each others abilities or even just their patience. well, at least it worked out well, two centuries later and his poor ass is still stuck with her.  ✘ they’re a pretty epic double act, a perfect team that knew when to push the limits and when to hit the breaks. there was a time not long back where they almost took it too far. fake names that were just two of the many they’d had across the years. and they would have been long forgotten if it wasn’t for the way the police decided to tie them to a string of murders to go along with the burglaries. bonnie & clyde. she still scoffs a little when she hears people reference them now. ✘ little do they know that actually, she and marcel used magic to compel two no good people into believing that they were bonnie and clyde, thus, it became their faces that ended up in the newspapers, their backgrounds that are plastered all over the internet. it was a narrow escape, how awkward would it be for immortals to be famous in any capacity. ✘ personality-wise, carmen is very loyal. which might sound funny given that she’s a thief, but if she considers you a friend then there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for you. you want the hope diamond stealing for your birthday? consider it done. she’s not typically a jealous person but she does get considerably pouty when she sees other women hanging around her man. depending on how cheap and slutty she thinks the girl looks depends on whether she stays silent with a raised brow or cracks a glass over their head. she’s unpredictable sometimes but she always says, she trusts him, it’s other people she doesn’t trust.  ✘ straying a little away from the myths, carmen actively wears more silver than she does gold. most of her gold collections are exactly that, collected into safe places or displayed around her home. she prefers the way diamonds and silver shine. ✘ there’s definitely a mean streak in her, some would argue just plain cruel, or even evil. if that side of her ever comes out there’s usually a damn good reason she would argue makes it justified. she’s one scary bitch when she’s got her murder head on, believe it.  ✘ being thrown back from the year 2032 has her feeling a little put out. whilst it’s great for foreknowledge, she’s not exactly loving the way she and marcel seem to have been fated to be thrown into whatever war is brewing. what exactly is the source of it all expecting them to do? if it comes down to it, the only team she plays for is hers and marcels. she’d save him before anyone else, even if it meant the lot of them fried.
