MARCELINE ABADEER is based on MARCELINE from adventure time. she is a 33 year old/immortal half-vampire/half-demon, aspiring musician, and uses she/they pronouns. she has the power of transformation, flight, and color consumption & is written by ALEX.
IC INFO: after having been alive for a thousand years, perhaps, some would expect marceline to be bored with the world or entirely lacking empathy, yet she's managed to cling to her more human traits throughout the centuries. they’re naturally emotional, even if they have difficulty expressing their feelings directly apart from through their music, and sentimental, attaching herself to the objects and people that have stood beside her throughout the years. she's playful, occupying days with mischief often to the annoyance of those around her - yet rarely intentionally malicious, unless forced to more malevolent deeds due to hunger. still, a certain amount of selfishness after centuries of having to survive alone dwells, as well as lingering fears of abandonment and a general independent nature.
to most, marceline is seen as fearless - and is, when it comes to facing monsters and slaying beasts, yet facing vulnerability remains something of a struggle, even if they’ve found herself opening up more in recent years than most of their life. she holds deep care for those surrounding her, truly wishing to help them and being willing to sacrifice things dear to her for them. half demon and vampire queen she may be, but that half human side of her will always remain.
HEADCANONS:
they're a thousand years old - they’ve lost track of their moral code - and the gender binary. i headcanon marcy as nonbinary, usually using she or they pronouns but really she’s chill with whatever!
coming from a place like ooo, they're not great at blending in, constantly fighting the urge to float above the ground like they always used to, suck red from objects in front of others, scare people by shapeshifting, etc. after hundreds of years of instinctual actions, she can’t help but fall back into her patterns at times - and will just try to act like she definitely wasn't just hovering a few feet above the ground if someone acts shocked.
while adventurous and mostly unbothered by being transported into evermore, she’s also very sentimental and finds herself quietly missing pieces of home… not that she’ll ever tell anyone. it hurts, seeing the faces of those she calls her best friends not even recognize her.
and, though happy to have a new land to explore, they hate being trapped in a single town. she’s definitely tried to fly as high as she could to see if she could break past whatever barrier is trapping them within… only to land right back where they started.
they're slowly rebuilding their wardrobe in evermore: with plenty of red, of course, but she’ll only suck the red from her clothes as a last resort! most days, she’s wearing long gloves, a wide-brimmed sunhat, or carrying around a parasol to protect her skin - definitely just because she really cares about her skincare routine and not because she's a vamp.
she’s a constant wanderer, with no sort of permanent address currently, as "aspiring musician" doesn't exactly pay the bills. so, their "wardrobe" is more of a stuffed suitcase, and their beloved axe bass is nearly always with them.
and canon, but for the non adventure time fans, yes, marceline IS a vampire, but she consumes the color red rather than blood - and, of course, can drink blood, but tends to only do so when starved of red and forced into a frenzy. they can even drink shades of it like pink, though it doesn't sustain them to the same degree. she's actually incredibly wary of other vampires, given that she was a former vampire hunter before being turned into the last vampire in ooo against her will. but, given that most vampires in evermore aren't as cruel as the ones she fought back home, they're going to try to give them another chance - and maybe it'll be nice to have some others who can understand her.
though bonnie is the genius between them, marceline is fairly intelligent herself - in different ways than bonnibel, with a creative mind rather than analytical (not that bonnie isn't also creative, but they aren't exactly the rockstar marcy is)… but they can’t be bothered to apply themselves if it doesn’t involve something fun or musical.
