When it comes to describing Maryam, messy is an understatement. In physical form, she tends to wear the first thing she sees when she wakes up in the morning, beit a nice, comfy sweater and shorts, or pajamas and half of her breakfast. Typically, a nice pink (albeit wrinkly) t-shirt and running shorts will do... until she runs out of laundry. In spirit form, she is bound to the articles she died in: an unkempt school uniform, battered in blood and tears. Regardless of what she wears, Maryam is always comfortable, so comfortable in fact that she looks like she could fall asleep at any moment... | |||||||||

Maryam is the epitome of a cinnamon roll -- if it exists, she is going to hug it. Unfortunately, this mindset tends to get her into trouble, as she is completely oblivious to malicious intentions. Needless to say, she is just about the sweetest person you will ever meet... the only issue is, she's not very smart. Maryam understands the concept of no-no square, but she doesn't understand the concept of not touching a hot stove. Similarly, her knowledge of every day life is at a bare minimum, leaving her both a hot mess, but equally content with the things she has. Maryam prefers to spend her time in isolated areas -- namely meadows, fields, and things of that nature. She tends to avoid crowded scenes because of her tendency to get lost. If someone isn't holding her hand at all times, she will likely end up in a life or death situation by approaching the wrong individual with open arms... | |||||||||
Abilities | |||||||||
➤ overall | |||||||||
Spirit Form Abilities These abilities are exclusive to her spiritual form. Phasing - Maryam is unable to directly interact with physical objects, meaning she cannot pick things up that are not attached to her body. This also grants her immunity to physical objects and abilities (minus those from reapers/wraiths). Additionally, she may phase through walls, floors, physical objects, and people (to a degree). Sentient beings she phases through will feel nothing more than a shiver down their spine. Invisibility - Maryam may disguise herself to the naked eye. She cannot be perceived by those who do not possess clairvoyance or a similar ability that states they can see her. She can't control it that well, but it seems to occur the most when she's frightened. Heightened Senses - Due to her lack of a fifth sense (touch), Maryam can feel the presence of nearby entities. Her sense of smell and hearing are heightened as well. This ability comes naturally to Maryam. Physical Form Abilities These abilities are exclusive to her physical form. Telekinesis - Maryam may manipulate and move objects around using telekinesis. The larger the object, the more of a strain it has on her. She can only use telekinesis on things in her line of sight. Maryam is out of practice with this ability. Hymns - Maryam sings a song... the effect varies depending on both the type and length of the song. Her songs are capable of healing, shielding, buffing, or debuffing. Each song is only capable of providing one of the things listed, lasting until the song ends. Maryam can only use her hymns while holding a flower. Maryam practices her hymns daily. Illusions - Maryam may alter one's sight, touch, or smell in a minuscule way with no repercussions to herself. These alterations typically involve seeing, smelling, or touching flowers. Alternatively, she may "pull" one or multiple people into a meadow, altering all three of these senses. This trick has a 10 foot radius and lasts until they either leave said radius or after two rounds. Maryam is out of practice with this ability, and the more complex illusions tend to make her very drowsy... Possession - A form of manipulation Maryam can use via conversation. She can potentially manipulate someone to say or do something, and depending on their willpower, it just might work. This also affects the duration of the possession. Maryam isn't good at talking to people though, so she can't control it that well. *Flight - Maryam may levitate/fly in either form. | |||||||||
History | |||||||||
➤ family | |||||||||
Father: Maryam's father was an average fellow who worked an average job, providing average necessities and luxuries for his family. He owned a few acres in a rural town in the States, living a mostly isolated life with his wife and daughter. After the death of his daughter Maryam, he and his wife divorced, abandoning the only things that kept Maryam's memory alive, never talking to each other again. It is unknown what happened to him afterwards. Mother: Maryam's mother worked at a library a few miles away from her family's rural home. When Maryam was old enough to read, she began bringing her to the library where she could read and explore to her heart's content. She spent the majority of her life babying Maryam, leading to Maryam becoming dependent of others both in life and in death. Sibings: N/A | |||||||||

(THIS IS A QUICK SYNOPSIS, I WILL BE WRITING HER FULL BACKSTORY LATER IN FULL DETAIL.) In life, Maryam lived a modest one. She spent a lot of time frolicking in the meadow by her family's home, which was isolated from everything but a few farms, and of course the various forests she would frequently wander, which was responsible for her endless love of nature. She never spent much time inside, in fact, the only time she would leave the meadow was to go to school or to visit the library her mother worked at - which she did often. Of course, her lack of knowledge in technology and pop culture put a barrier between her and most other people. At school, other kids would slur insults such as "retard" at her, which she would simply shrug off and continue with her day. Despite her sensitive nature, it was often difficult to talk down to her, mostly due to her lack of understanding of derogatory terms. Typically she would go to the library after school, either to read about flowers or to help other people find something that interested them. Most of the time, she just watched her mother work, admiring how she fit into the world so seamlessly, and wondered if she would ever find her own place. -- Unfortunately, the day that would end her life came much too soon. It was a day just like any other -- Maryam was on her way home from school, taking the same route she always did, skipping to the sounds of nature as she always did. There was something off about this day, though, and Maryam couldn't quite figure out what it was. Not that it would have concerned her anyway, as the only thing on her mind was the warmth of the sun on a beautiful day. The glow of a beautiful Jasmine flower caught Maryam's attention as she turned towards the homestretch. Gracefully, she bent over to pluck it out of the ground, inhaling its sweet scent before tightly hugging her body around it. It was the most beautiful flower she had ever seen, and she swore to keep it by her side for however long forever was. When she turned back around, she was met with a group of three men. "Hi! Wanna see my new friend?" She enthused, extending her arm so that they too could appreciate its beauty. "I think I'm gonna name it--" THUD. Maryam's cracked skull hit the pavement, alongside the bat that knocked her unconscious. Her hands and feet were tied together, and a bag was tied around her head. After several long, heart-wrenching minutes of torture, the men drug Maryam's body into the woods, and she was never heard from again, until her body was discovered hanging from a tree just outside her house in the following days. Her clothes were stained with sweat and blood, her body was bruised and cut nearly beyond recognition, and her eyes were lifeless with terror, pain, and confusion. In her hand was the same Jasmine flower she had picked before her murder, and it remained in perfect condition. | |||||||||

- ask her about anything she she'll tell you in her own Maryam way (probably) - her spirit form resembles how she was when she died, including clothes, scars, and bodily fluids | |||||||||
