It had been a long week, filled with studies and practice, and Mary needed a break. They thought that a drink at a bar they were fond of would help put them at ease, and found that they were right following a glass of a wonderful chardonnay.

When the hand appeared on the barstool beside them, Mary raised their eyes at the stranger, before offering a friendly smile. “Not at all.” They gestured to the seat. “Help yourself.”

“this seat taken?” michael questioned with a small raise to his eyebrow, his hand wrapping around the back of a barstool. the bar was quite full and having just gotten off a shift the officer was eager to get a few beers in his system. to say his day had been long was an understatement. three investigations, four unwilling suspects and one over eager rookie resulted in the length of his shift extending far past his expectations.

Mary didn’t really know why she had agreed to go to this bar. At first it had seemed like a good idea; Ilya was right, she had been cooped up a lot more recently, and going out would’ve been good, but it didn’t take her long before she decided that the atmosphere was a bit much, and decided to leave Ilya to have all the fun.

She was a little surprised to see that someone else was there, but it didn’t bother her. She tentatively but calmly approached, and looked up when she spoke. “No, sorry.” She smiled apologetically. “Have you had a nice night?”

Ophélie had stepped onto the bar’s rooftop to have a smoke, only to realize that her lighter wasn’t working. Still, she stayed, breathing in the cool nighttime air and lookout out at the city lights. When someone else came to stand nearby, she addressed them.”You don’t happen to have a light, do you?”

( Grace Phipps, Demigirl, She/Her and They/Them. ) ♛ Isn’t that Mary Catherine Miles? The twenty nine year old violinist is unmistakable. She/They has/have a reputation for being sweet and charming, but also self loathing and hesitant. There’s a reason they call her/them the Beauty Queen In Tears of the jet set, after all. — Cody, They/Them, 22, GMT+13:00.

so, here’s the skinny on mary:

juilliard student, violin major but does have a semi professional career

grew up v working class, their mum worked for this super rich russian widow and she took pity on mary and more or less took her in, which turned out to be a good thing as mary’s mum wasnt great rip (basically chose alcohol and men over mary constantly)

went to super elite schools from around 8-9, which is also when they started violin at the juilliard prep school

super sweet and quietly charismatic, think margaery tyrell

has MAJOR imposter syndrome  rip

lives with ilya, their best friend and the russian widow’s nephew (he’s on the wc page wink wink)

has a v complicated relationship with their mother, but still loves her v deeply
