oh god we’ve made it to the sinners. now I have to talk about even more backstory. fuuuuuuckkkkk
Agatha Lemaire was born in 1900 to Delaida Boudreaux and Achille Lemaire. She grew up in Louisiana, relatively near New Orleans, where she met her best friend (Miriam post one day. probably not soon). She was never very social, despite being incredibly charismatic when she did bother to talk. In 1918 her mother, one of the very few people in her life she genuinely adored, was diagnosed with tuberculosis and died the following year. Achille was never particularly good to them, but as Delaida died he got worse. Months before her mother died, Agatha committed her first murder. His body was never found and people assumed that he’d simply skipped town. After Delaida’s death, Agatha took over her job as a radio show host. It was never a particular passion of hers, but she felt that she had a duty to her family and it was a useful tool. During the years between 1919 and 1945 she killed approximately 70 people and ate their remains, reporting on her own crimes as she did so. Unfortunately for her, something took notice. An old and incredibly powerful demon, who had escaped into the mortal world decades ago and become attached to this newfangled concept of radio. Her murders and connection to his domain linked them, and he terrorised her for several years, wanting the soul of someone like that in his arsenal. He did not assess the level of danger he was in correctly. When traditional methods of dealing with her problems (gun) didn’t work, she turned to his origins. She made a sacrifice, contacted a demon, and made a deal. His life for hers. With the help of her friend on the other side, she killed the demon and took his power. Five years later, her most successful years of all time, her demon came to collect. She was shot three times by police officers, who had discovered the truth behind her crimes due to an anonymous witness.
Jesus Christ can you tell she’s my favourite. we’re not even done I’ll speedrun the rest of this. good lord.
She woke up in hell, lived with her demon benefactor for a while, technically earned her soul back by doing contract work but still works for the demon, met a cute spider girl, met a cute robot guy, dismantled hell’s ruling class (overlords) by killing all of them, had the worlds shittiest breakup because she wanted more power, disappeared for like a decade, and now she’s back to menace Chaya and her hotel. No-one likes her except Chaya. This is entirely reasonable because she is an awful person.
She’s very blunt (undiagnosed autism queen) and does not enjoy the presence of other people. She masks this distaste by being overly friendly in an uncomfortable and threatening way. In her defence everything she does comes off as threatening because she has killed So Many People. She’s not completely cold hearted and does care for certain people (and her dog. she loved her dog. his name was Bullet and he is canonically in heaven do not fear) but most people could be burning in front of her and she wouldn’t stop to spit on them. Her ideal life is a quiet one in a nice rural area with no other people around for miles, similar to her home when she was alive. She likes dogs, good food, woodcarving, taxidermy, and being left the fuck alone. She does not swear in English, only in French, because it makes her less intimidating. She also doesn’t use modern slang (even though she knows it. against her will. Antonio keeps teaching her stupid shit he hears at work. six seven or whatever the kids like these days). She can also mimic voices perfectly which is pretty cool. It’s why sinners think she did her murders live on air. She did not. Can you imagine the cleanup?
erm appearance. I have art done by the ever talented @scoutkisser69 (thanks Cob) of her human form. Her original demon form is just that but she has bunny ears, small antlers, big yellow hare eyes, and multiple bleeding gunshot wounds (sinners keep their death wounds after they die. she is missing her left eye and has injuries to her right knee and the right side of her torso. yes I’m that specific leave me alone). Her second demon form (post god awful breakup she does a demonic ritual using the fear and blood of her closest friends to access more of the demon’s power. the first demon the one she killed. I really should’ve named him that would make this easier. the second one is called Josephine but we’ll get to her) is almost exactly identical but her head is now a deer skull. My cringefail edgelord Mary Sue 💕
(important weapons section because she loves her weapons. she has a shotgun (literally her baby), a knife made from bone and shed antlers, a pistol, and a small hatchet. you know. because one weapon just isn’t enough when you also have fucked up shadow powers. she’s so annoying god bless)
