✯ MARLENE MIONETTE MCKINNON ✯

He used to sing me sweet melodies, he played me, made me believe it was real love. Sing me sweet melodies but the day he did me wrong the song couldn't go on and on and on. He would lie, he would cheat over syncopated beats I was just his tiny dancer he had control of my feet. Yes, when he came along, that's when I lost the groove there was no song in the world to sing along or make me move

boys will be, boys will be boys but girls will be women

CHILDHOOD ANIMALS

Born on the Island of Skye with salty air blowing through her hair, Marlene was raised with a fire in her heart just like the very dragons her family helped care for. Ansel McKinnon was a keen dragonolist who helped to preserve the Hebridean Black Dragons that resided amongst the Hebrides islands. Helping those of the MacFusty clan in their protection and adoration of the creatures, Marlene has a deep love for the animals. Souring through the hills, adrenaline pumping through veins to escape wild dragons breeding, to helping hatch and raise dragon eggs from birth with her grandmother - a renowned dragonolist in her own right -, fire breathed in the McKinnon’s chests just like the scaly creatures they shared their home with. 

HOGWARTS ANIMALS

Wanting to take a piece of home to Hogwarts, Marlene took one of the old family cats a black tortoiseshell cat. Named Esmée by her mother who was a french stray she rescued on her trip home to Paris, the creature was fiercely protective of Marlene and had little taste for anyone that wasn’t the McKinnons or those from their home on Isle of Skye. Unfortunately an old cat, she passed before Marlene’s sixth year at Hogwarts at fifteen years old. Not having the heart to replace her, Marlene finished the rest of her Hogwarts years without a cat companion like she was so dearly used to. However with her elder brothers one by one leaving Hogwarts, Marly was begifted a horned eagle by her brother Dougal so she could easily contact him and didn’t have to bother Nathair to send an owl back home to Scotland. Still her trusted owl to this day, Marlene names her Isla with warm affection.

CURRENT ANIMAL

Heartbroken after her break up with James Potter ( @jamspctter ) Marlene became reclusive. Her typical light had dimmed into a shadowed flicker as she mourned her broken heart and tried to piece back a reality that had crumbled beneath her fingertips. Annabeth Pebworth, Dougal’s long term girlfriend at the time and now finance, had seen her heart break and wished she could do something for the girl who had always been more like the younger sister she never had. While a dear confident and a shoulder to cry on, Annabeth also became the very person that brought a ragdoll cat into Marlene’s life; gifting her as a companion to help Marlene feel less alone. Though masked as a graduation gift, it was a way for her to be there for her when she couldn’t. Dearly loved, ‘Alasdair’ dearly nicknamed Al or Ally, currently resides in Marlene and Lily’s ( @oh-evans ) apartment. Playing with Marlene’s paintbrushes and the ribbons on her ballet shoes, he is a dear addition to her life and someone Marly holds dear to her heart and often says is the only man she’ll ever need in her life. Though granted, she still can’t help but find it amusing the creatures general distaste for James and at times Sirius. ( @padfoot-chaos )

Task Two: Home

The techie has lived in her small loft style apartment for nearly five years. It’s the closest thing she has ever had to home, the only place that is truly hers. It isn’t much, only being through rooms and a loft for her bedroom. The amount of things she has managed to shove in one apartment is astounding though. It very much embodies Astrid in every sense.

The kitchen is stocked with less healthy options, bags of ground coffee, instant noodles and a fridge full of takeout containers. She just isn’t much of a cook and often enough forgets to eat when entertained with her work. The living room was formed into her own little shop complete with a crowded workbench, shelves covered in various tech, a leather love seat and a recharging station for her robotic dog, Zed. The bathroom is nothing more than a sink, mirror, toilet and a shower. Though a clothes line runs through it with her unmentionables.

A set of stairs by the bathroom leads up into her loft bedroom. A queen sized bed sits in the middle with red cotton sheets and various blankets depending on the weather. Her clothes hang on a makeshift rack that blocks the living room view into her bedroom. She has several shelves covered with tech she has created that she particularly fond or proud of.

It’s not much but for her it is home.

an intricate survey → 002

Have you ever broken a bone? If so, how did it happen?

I've broken a lot of bones. Many were from sports, some from random fights, and other ones from random things. Normal boy stuff. Nothing big though, besides my arm once, I've broken fingers and my nose and shit. Even though your nose technically isn't a bone.

When did your lose your virginity, and how did it happen?

Lost my virginity when I was almost seventeen. I don't know what you mean by "how did it happen," we just kind of fucked a month or so into our "relationship" and that was that.

Are you opinionated or passive? Has it ever gotten you hurt or in trouble?

I'm extremely opinionated, when the time is right. I brush a lot of things off but when the situation calls for it, I will tell you what I think and believe. I've gotten punched a few times by multiple people for it, definitely.

What’s one meal that you’ve been craving that you haven’t had since arriving in Lovers Park?

I used to live here and I don't really remember what I ate then, probably the same shit I eat now.. Which is essentially nothing besides shit like Easy Mac or Ramen, sometimes chicken. I really just want a good fucking steak. Wait, I took a girl to eat steak when I lived here before on a date.

Ice cream. Let's go with ice cream, because I can't eat that no matter where I live. I'll forever be tortured.

In your opinion, is the saying true: Once a cheater, always a cheater? Do you believe that you can have a healthy relationship with someone who cheats?

I guess that would depend on the person. If someone cheats on you, they probably didn't love you in the first place. On the other hand, alcohol is never an excuse, but if you're drunk, fight with your significant other and go fuck some other guy because he said "we're over," then he tries to take it back later. That is not cheating. What Ross did to Rachel was not cheating, they were on a break.

But, yes, I do believe as long as they don't do it again, earn back your trust and shit, go on your merry way together.

Do you miss your ex? What would you do to get them back if you do?

My ex of sorts, of course not. She was a bitch. A real bitch. Now, my "ex" that isn't really my ex but definitely is something along those lines, I miss her every damn day. I can't do much besides hope she comes back. She knows how I feel and that's all I can do, you know? I told her I fucked up, I apologized and I completely understand if she decides to move on and get over me.

Do you prefer silence or do you like it noisy?

Depends. If I'm at home or at the store or something, I'd prefer it to be quiet and I'd prefer to be alone. But if I'm at a concert, then, yeah, I want it noisy. I like it noisy when I'm working, but if I'm a customer, then I want it quiet.

What are two things you’re insecure about personally?

What do I have to be insecure about? Ugh.

Alright, being honest, I've been poor my entire life and it seems like I only go further below the poverty line every day. I never had new clothes or a nice car or a cell phone, and everyone gave me hell about it, especially in high school. It wasn't so bad when I left and started moving around a lot because then everyone just attributed my lack of personal belongings to my nomadic lifestyle.

I think second would be my memory. I know why I have a terrible memory and I'm sure my reasoning for having a bad memory is probably much worse than the fact that I can't remember shit but.. It's just hard. At work, people have to tell me their orders more than once because I always forget it. I can't remember names, ages, anniversaries- It's not that they're not important, I just can't retain new information. If I remember your name, it's probably because you've told me it multiple times or I associated it with some part of you that I can remember. Like, if your name is Gabriel but you're actually kind of a dick, I'll remember it because it's ironic. Or if your name is Delilah and you smell like flowers, I'll remember it.

Do you get jealous easily? What makes you jealous?

I think the only reason I get jealous is when me and the girl have different definitions of flirting. Like, with me, you can't innocently hold a dude's hand or lay in his bed with him or cuddle, or kiss just because. Don't laugh at every joke and cover your mouth, blushing, don't go out of your way to text him when you're on a date with me. Friends hang out, friends don't flirt. Platonic jealousy.. I guess it's just when someone spends a lot of time with me and I stupidly get attached to the routine and then they just suddenly stop one day, I get mad. I can't really handle change.

Do you prefer one night stands or being in a relationship? Is it sex in your mind, or do you mentally call it ‘making love’?

Uh. I think most people define "making love" as a slow, delicate thing. I guess making love is really just how you feel about the person rather than the speed or whatever. I don't really like one stand stands, mostly because sometimes feelings come up from that it's better to just completely avoid it. But I also haven't had a relationship in years. My first "girlfriend", we "broke up" when I was eighteen after dating for, like, two years almost. I used quotation marks because she wasn't actually my girlfriend- She had a boyfriend, and he wasn't me, I was just... There when they fought and broke up. So, you see, I don't really call it anything because I don't get laid and I haven't had a relationship, so... I prefer neither.
