everyone's heard the tales of the sanderson sisters, but to recap for anyone that doesn't know: the three girls, once exiled from old salem, came across a witch in the forbidden woods who exposed them to the powers they held within and gave them a spellbook to strengthen their abilities. the small coven followed the advice of the wise witch for years to come, using spells to keep them youthful and everlasting which required feeding off the souls of children. they were eventually caught and hanged for the crimes of kidnapping, murder and, of course, the whole being witches thing. thankfully, they cast a spell before their death that allowed them to be brought back for one night by a virgin that lit the black flame candle. it wasn't too long ago that they were resurrected on halloween night but without everything needed to keep them around for longer, they were doomed to vanish once again.
it was only two years ago that mary appeared in the flesh once more, but without the help of her sisters, she was left on her own to find out what happened. suffice it to say, a reasoning never came about. she was just happy to be alive. however, without her sisters, it's difficult to navigate the world and most importantly, without any knowledge of where the spellbook is now located, any memory of incantations or potion recipes are very limited. mary still doesn't get why she was brought back instead of either of her sisters but little does she know, she does have a sister running around. the two just haven't come across each other yet.
HC’s:
knows nothing about palm reading but has found out that modern-day people adore this sort of thing so she's dedicated her life to it, she kinda guesses and goes with the flow based off of some videos she's found online
the little powers and spells she could remember got her settled into a small house that she took over from a random couple. she doesn't know what happened to them she just made them go away, she still keeps their pictures and furniture around though just as they left it. she's given them names and stories, it's her favorite pastime to imagine what they're doing now.
mary was the potions bitch, always looming over a cauldron brewing whatever concoction that serves purpose to her and her sisters. that included poisons, spell enhancers and even the anti-aging elixir that helped keep the sandersons looking so young.
truly there for her sisters' approvals and the good vibes, she knows the true power they can hold is strong but ultimately is simple there for sarah and winnie, not wanting to let go of that lifelong friendship they have.
it's not that she's unintelligent, it's more so that it takes her a while to get the point without winnie's help. it's almost like the idea is always on the tip of her tongue she just can never get to it.
has been back for only 2 years so she's still getting adjusted to the present-day life, modern contraptions confuse and kinda scare the hell out of her. she's barely gotten used to the landline phone the previous tenants left behind but she does adore the tv, such funny moving pictures are on all the time!
