Favourite characters (78/?)

Magda/Rio/Elsa/Alex - Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)

[mercymaker]

“Madga can create homunculi, who presumably act as extensions of herself. She notably created one to manipulate Dr. Peter Craft in her guise as Elsa. This homunculus had the appearance and manner of a small male child, and was able to answer questions independently. It appeared human enough that even a trained physician believed it was human. Magda absorbed the homunculus back into herself when it wasn't needed”

started watching Penny Dreadful City of Angels and boyyyyy is it good

anyway here's a quick sketch based on a screen from the show

[mask131]

Magda and the Triple Goddess

I don’t know if anyone noticed...

In Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, the demoness Magda assumes three different “disguises”/”avatars”/”human shapes” to plunge Los Angeles in blood, fire and chaos. And these three avatars correspond to the three parts of the “triple goddess” archetype.

Alex Malone is the Crone. An older and serious figure of authority and counsel, a political and fakely “protective” figure, as well as the only “asexual” of the three figures (or at least so far I have just watched half of the season).

Elsa Branson is obviously the Mother. Due to literaly being the “mother” of a child, and her seducing and influencing a husband and father.

As for Rio, she is the Maiden. A young woman full of energy, fire and passion, with a free and wild sexuality, and that influence and corrupts young men. 

Interestingly, Magda’s sister, Santa Muerte, appears in the show to also be a mix of the three aspects of the Triple Goddess, but here all at once (where Magda splits them). Santa Muerta appears as a woman in covering, white clothes and as a pure and asexual figure similar to the Virgin Mary, evoking the chastity, purity and virginity usually associated with the Maiden. But she is also a stern, austere and frightening figure, usually represented as a skeleton and associated with death, which also makes her a Crone. And finally, she takes care of the dead as a true mother - her taking Diago’s father is reminiscent of Mary holding her dying son, while in episode 4 we actually see her take by herself a child into Heaven, reinforcing the idea of motherhood.

Chapter 168: Time for Miracles

Jenna took the blood sample from Mr. Branson and tried to ignore the way he was staring at her while she did. For someone that was supposedly in a relationship, his eyes certainly seemed to wander and in a creepy way.

"There…that should do it," she said, as he rolled his sleeve down.

"Thanks...so what kind of tests are you going to run on my blood?" he questioned. Now that seemed like a really odd question, but she supposed he was just curious, considering the condition of his daughter.

"Just the normal tests to make sure it's a viable sample, free of an anomalies and then we'll type match it against Lucy," she offered as an explanation. Nick stood up and started to remove his tie while her back was turned. He took both ends in his hands and prepared to eliminate another witch. This one did good, but to him, her power still came from evil and the world had to be cleansed of her.

"I'm afraid I can't let you run that sample against Lucy," he said. Her brow furrowed in confusion, but before she could turn around, she felt him behind her and choked, as he used the tie to begin choking her. She gasped for air and dug her nails into his hands, as he strangled her. He growled in frustration, as she drew blood, but he kept pulling tighter on the tie. She began to see spots in her vision and as she did, memories flooded her subconscious. The more air that left her the more clear it all became. She remembered...everything and exactly who Nick was. A tear slipped down her cheek, as she realized that she was remembering, because she was about to die. Until there was a noise outside the room, catching Nick's attention.

"Guess today is your lucky day," he growled, as he inhaled the scent of her hair

"I got to bang your brother...too bad I didn't get to screw you too, beautiful. I bet you're just as good," he hissed in her ear, before he pushed her into the wall. She gasped for air and crumpled to the floor, just as David rushed into the room. When he saw his daughter laying on the floor, he put his gun away and sank beside her, pulling her into his arms.

"Dr. Aeson…" he said, trying to rouse her. He was relieved to find that her breathing was still strong and she seemed to be just dazed, though he was livid to see the faint marks around her neck. Had he been just a few seconds later, he might have been too late, and that weighed heavily on his heart.

"Dear God...what happened?" Dr. Narita asked. David looked up though and knew the real identity of this man to be none other than his son-in-law, Paul.

"Have security seal off the exits and tell them they are looking for this man," David told him, as he showed him the photo on his phone. Dr. Narita was astonished to see that the man was the supposed father to the little girl he had been called to consult on. But he didn't hesitate and hurried out to inform security. David knew it was probably too late and he was gone. But his little girl was smart, even cursed, and he saw the blood and skin underneath her fingertips. That would be all the proof they needed to make Nick Branson a wanted man and then he wouldn't rest until he found him.

"Dr. Aeson…" he repeated, as she started to come around and looked up.

"Daddy…" she uttered and his eyes widened. He swallowed thickly, wondering if he dared to hope. Her eyes widened and she gasped, as her arms went around his neck.

"Daddy!" she cried and tears fell down his cheeks, as he hugged her fiercely and cradled her head.

"Oh Eva…" he cried.

"Daddy...it was Jack and he's with Leo!" she exclaimed.

"I know...and I'm going to get him, I promise," he said, as Snow rushed in.

"David!" she called, but she was the one to get a surprise.

"Mom…" Eva uttered.

"Eva?!" she asked tearfully, as she hugged her daughter fiercely. That's when Dr. Narita returned and Eva looked at him, her eyes shining with tears. He didn't remember her...he didn't remember that he was her husband.

"Dr. Aeson...are you okay?" he asked. She swallowed thickly and managed a nod.

"I hate to tell you this, but one of the guards saw this guy leaving, just before I got there," he reported, as he returned his phone. David nodded and put his phone to his ear.

"This is Detective Nolan...I need to issue an APB for Nick Branson immediately. He is to be considered extremely dangerous," he told the desk sergeant before hanging up again.

"Lucy…" Eva uttered, looking at her parents.

"Don't worry...we're going to take care of that," Snow assured, as she tapped her bag.

"Dr. Narita, can you check Dr. Aeson over and make sure she's okay?" David asked.

"Of course…" he agreed, as they watched the pair join hands and leave the room. But Eva knew they would be back soon and hopefully with news that her great niece was awake.

The Enchanted Forest 2

Storybrooke year - 2023

Fandral was right and it only took them a few hours on horseback to get to edge of realms. When they arrived at the narrow tunnel that acted as a portal to it, they left the horses and trekked through it on foot. When they arrived on the other side, they all marveled at the beauty of the place known as the edge of realms.

"I've only read about this place. I never thought I'd actually see it," Belle said in awe.

"So...that tunnel is like a portal?" Kristoff questioned curiously.

"Of sorts," Rose answered.

"So what now?" Anna asked.

"We summon the bi-frost and we do so by calling on Heimdall," Fandrall answered, as he prepared to use the Singasteinn to do so.

"First I think I need to give all of you some modern looking clothing. You'll stick out way too much in this stuff," Emma admonished, as she poofed their friends from Arendelle and Rose Red and her family into an assortment of modern clothes.

Hold on...we might have a problem," Belle called, as she halted them.

"What is it?" Emma asked.

"Our families are in Seattle...but in the past," Belle replied, as she leafed through the book.

"The past?" Elsa questioned.

"The year 2018 to be exact," Belle answered.

"How the hell did that happen?" Emma wondered and then her eyes widened.

"Facilier...he kept talking about the past and wanting to use the chalice to go back in time! Much further than that though," the blonde recalled.

"Just talking about going back to the past might have had an effect on the chalice," Belle suggested.

"How the hell are we going to get to Seattle in 2018?" Emma wondered. But no one had an answer and Emma's heart sank. She was starting to wonder if Clayton was right this time. Maybe there wasn't a way to save her family this time.

"Would this help?" Anna asked, as she touched her necklace.

"It's a wishing star. It worked once before," Anna reminded. Hope returned to Emma's eyes, as Anna handed it to her.

"Thank you…" she said. Anna smiled.

"Let's just hope it works again," the Princess responded, as Fandral summoned Heimdall. They all watched in amazement, as the burning rainbow bridge shot down from the sky and deposited a very large man before them.

"Heimdall!" the three demi-Asgardians called, as they all gathered around him with hugs. The hulking man smiled softly at them and then bowed respectfully to Rose Red.

"Your Majesty," he said, signifying his deep respect for her. Rose smiled and hugged him too.

"It's wonderful to see you, Heimdall," she greeted.

"I am assuming you are in need to use the bi-frost?" he questioned noticing their guests.

"Yes, there has been another curse. Snow and David are trapped in a large city in the Land Without Magic, this time in the year 2018," Fandral explained.

"We have a wishing star that will hopefully grant our wish to time travel. We just need passage to Seattle via the bi-frost," Emma added. Heimdall nodded curtly.

"I will get you there. But Emma, you must use the wishing star and think of the loved ones you are trying to reach. I believe I know of a significant landmark to deposit all of you," he said. They nodded and all joined hands, as they prepared for the journey. Emma closed her palm around the wishing star, as she thought of all the people that needed her and wished to be taken to where they were. And with that, Heimdall and their entire group disappeared through the bi-frost.

~*~

Detective Rogers marched Victoria Belfry into the precinct that evening and took her to an interrogation room. In the lobby though, as they passed, Gothel gave her a smug look.

"You have no idea the hell you are going to unleash on this city by freeing that woman, Detective," she warned, as he led her into the room.

"Really? That's the defense you're going with? A harmless woman you kept shackled to a radiator is the dangerous one?" he questioned. She smirked.

"She was shackled there, because she is the monster, Detective, I assure you. I was doing everyone a favor by keeping this particular demon locked away," she replied. He scoffed.

"If you're going for an insanity defense, I'd say you have a clear shot," he responded, as he placed the phone on the table before her and removed the cuffs.

"Make your one phone call, while you're being processed. Since it's late, I doubt even whatever high powered attorney you employ can get you out tonight, but don't worry, we have a lovely little holding cell just for you," he said, as he left her to make her call, closing the locked door behind him. Victoria frowned and clenched her teeth.

"Dammit...you have no idea what you've done, Drizella…" she cursed, before calling her attorney.

~*~

Regina glanced at her former mentor and watched, as he checked his phone for the twelfth time in the last fifteen minutes. He wasn't normally the fidgety type and rarely showed any type of unease on the outside. So she knew the fact that it was so palpable meant that something was eating at him.

"What it is?" she questioned and for once, he didn't bother to hide or refuse to tell her.

"It's Neal…" he said and then cursed inwardly.

"I mean Cassidy...he hasn't reported in," Rumple answered.

"And you're worried he could be in trouble," she surmised.

"This is Clayton we're talking about," he reminded.

"Then go find him…" she urged. But he hesitated.

"Lucy will be fine. Snow and Charming have got this...she'll be okay. But Henry has already lost one parent. Do not let him lose the other," she implored. He nodded and left wordlessly to find his son. He had a very bad feeling that Cassidy Gold was in a lot of trouble. He just hoped that he found him before the worst could happen.

~*~

It was finally the middle of the night and the thugs opened the trunk, where they had tied and gagged Cassidy Gold. Garvy pulled him out and marched him toward the edge of the bridge.

"I'd remove the gag and ask you if you have any last words, but I know the minute I take it off, you'll scream. And we can't have that," he said, as he cocked his gun. A tear slipped down Cassidy's cheek and he clenched his eyes shut tightly. He didn't want to die. Suddenly, the entire area lit up with light. The thugs all looked around, expecting cops. But this light was not from sirens or flashlights. This was a strange, multicolored light that almost seemed to be burning.

"Uh hey boss…" one of the thugs said, as he pointed into the sky. All present, including Cassidy, were stunned to see that this burning rainbow light was coming from the sky and shooting straight into the ground.

"What in the hell is that?" Garvy uttered, as there was a flash and it disappeared, leaving behind a group of people that were now before them. Cassidy was just as much in shock as the thugs.

"Whoa...that was a trip," Kristoff commented, as they looked around.

"Neal…" Emma said in disbelief, but she saw no recognition in his eyes. Still, it didn't take her much to figure out that he was in serious trouble here and she drew her weapon.

"Put your guns down!" she demanded, but the leader scoffed and put the barrel of his to Neal's head.

"In case you failed to notice, blondie...your one gun is a little outnumbered. But if you want to play too...I'm sure that can be arranged," he leered.

"I'm warning you…" Emma threatened and the thugs laughed.

"This chick is crazy," one commented, but that would be a mistake, as she nodded to Fandral. Though she had used her magic to give all of them modern clothing, Fandral was still armed with his sword. He dashed toward their would be assailants and took out two before they even knew what hit them. Garvy fired his weapon, but he wasn't fast enough for the Asgardian and Fandral disarmed him, literally, but cutting off the hand that was holding the gun. He screamed in agony and Cassidy scrambled away.

"Sorry about that...but you were going to no good with that hand," Fandral said, the men circled the Asgardian, but his sword kept them at bay and they slowly backed away.

It's okay...we're not going to hurt you," Emma told Cassidy, as she put her hands up in surrender. He relaxed slightly and let her undo his bonds and the gag.

"Who the hell are you people?" he asked.

"You're welcome…" Kristoff responded.

"You don't know us...but we're friends, I assure you," Emma added, as a car pulled up. It was not a marked vehicle, but had siren lights.

"Crap…" Emma muttered, knowing this was going to be hard to explain. But fortunately, she wouldn't have to as the person came into view.

"Rumple…" Belle uttered.

"Dad!" Gideon called, as they rushed toward him. Weaver was shocked, but not unhappy to see them, especially when he wasn't sure they would ever be able to find him. There was a genuine smile on his face, as he hugged them tightly.

"You're here…" he uttered in surprise, as he shared a tender kiss with Belle.

"We went with Emma to Rose Red's castle. She was able to find the book in her library to tell us where and when you had all been taken," Belle replied.

"Emma…" he said, finally seeing her now.

"You're alive…" he added. She smiled.

"Long story, but suffice to say I was able to hold on long enough for Elsa and the others to find me. I can fill you in on the rest later, but here in this land, I'm not having any issues with my heart," she explained. He nodded curtly.

"What the hell is going on?!" Cassidy exclaimed.

"Much that would be too difficult to explain, Mr. Gold. But you're safe now and I'll be calling in a team to take care of the riff raff. First, we need to get all of you out of here. I have a house I can allocate from the department that should meet our needs," Weaver stated.

"Wait...my parents…" Emma interjected. Weaver met her gaze.

"They're awake…" he revealed. Her eyes widened.

"Then they think…" she started to say and he nodded.

"Yes...they think you're dead. But they are at the Hyperion Heights hospital right now. We'll go there first," he replied. She nodded, as he made a few calls. One to get the thugs taken down to the station for processing and the other to get transportation for them.

His head was still reeling from everything, but he knew Emma being alive could change everything in their favor.

~*~

Snow and David appeared in the doorway to Lucy's hospital room. Anastasia looked up at them, as they entered the room.

"Can you really help her?" she asked curiously. They nodded, as they looked to Drizella, who stood next to her now younger sister.

"It would be unwise to try and stop us from saving our great granddaughter," Snow warned. She smirked.

"I won't...I never wanted this for Lucy," she responded.

"No...you just wanted to release that witch. I don't think you have any idea what you've done or what the ramifications will be," David retorted. But Drizella only smirked.

"We'll see…" she countered, as she stepped aside, allowing them to approach Lucy's bedside. Snow gently brush a hand through the girl's ebony locks.

"Hang in the sweetie...it will be just a few more minutes," she whispered, as she took the chalice out of her bag. It glowed and she closed her eyes, as he gripped her other hand.

"Please help us wake her…" she pleaded silently. The chalice glowed and a pulse of light emanated from it, before it went inside Lucy's chest. She took a deep breath and her eyes opened wide, as she awakened at last. She looked around and found her great grandparents smiling down at her. They were crying, but happy and she smiled back.

"What's happening?" she asked, as Snow gently brush her hair away from her face.

"It's a long story, sweetheart, but you're going to be okay," she promised.

"Does everyone remember yet?" Lucy asked, as David cupped her cheek with a strong hand.

"I'm afraid not yet, little one...but they will," David promised.

"Oh my God…" Jacinda uttered, as she stood in the doorway in shock.

"Lucy!" she cried, as she rushed into the room. Snow and David backed away, as the young woman hugged her daughter tightly.

"She just woke up...we were about to call Dr. Aeson," Snow said, as Jacinda looked up at them with tears streaming down her face.

"This...it feels like a miracle," she cried, as she hugged her tightly and sniffed, before she started wiping her tears away.

"Honey...do you remember what happened?" Jacinda questioned. Lucy glanced quickly at her great grandparents and then back at her mother.

"I was with gramma Belfry and she told me happy endings weren't real. Then...I don't remember after that," Lucy said.

"I'd say happy endings are very real," Snow interjected and Jacinda smiled.

"Me too," she agreed, as Dr. Narita walked in.

"I just heard...I think I should check Lucy over," he said interrupting. Snow and David nodded, as they followed Anastasia and Ivy out of the room. David pulled Snow into a fierce hug and she relished his arms around her, taking solace in him. He pressed his lips to hers then and she kissed him back with wanton passion.

"Oh David…" she breathed, as their lips parted briefly, only to meet again with desperate passion.

"She's going to be okay, Snow...and we have Eva back," he whispered.

"Leo…" she said, remembering that their son was still in the lobby and had no clue what Nick had just tried to do a sister that he did not remember. And he sensed what she was thinking.

"Don't worry, my darling. I'll tell Luke what Nick tried to do...I'll make sure he's protected," he promised. She nodded and crushed her lips against his again, simply needing to kiss him and be held by him. The night had been truly horrific, but getting Eva back and waking Lucy had made an evening of horror turn into an evening of miracles, more so than they believed at that moment.

"Come on...let's go find Luke and break the news," he said, as they returned to the lobby.

"Is she awake?" Regina asked immediately upon seeing them. They nodded and offered smiles, to which she let out a breath of relief.

"That's one good thing that happened tonight," the former Queen said.

"How about we try for two good things," Eva said, as she came out into the lobby behind them. Regina looked at her and no longer saw true recognition in her eyes.

"Eva?" she asked in disbelief. The young woman nodded and hugged the other fiercely.

"I've missed you Aunt Regina," she said.

"I missed you too, sweetheart," Regina replied, as she glanced over at her twin, who was sitting in one of the chairs, nursing a cup of coffee.

"We'll get Leo back too...what are these marks on your neck?" Regina asked.

"That was Nick...Jack...whoever he is. He got away, but not for long," David assured.

"In the meantime, we have to convince our son that remembers nothing that his boyfriend just tried to kill someone," Snow added, as she watched her husband approach the young man.

"Luke?" he asked in the most professional tone he could muster..

"Yes?" he questioned.

"I'm Detective Nolan, we met a few days ago at the zoo...and I need to speak to you about your boyfriend, Nick Branson," he stated, hating that his son was unknowingly mixed up with a killer and said killer had taken such advantage of him. Leo had been through so much and neither he nor Snow had been able to protect him from the evils the curse had wrought. But he set aside his guilt over all of that and took a deep breath.

"I remember. Is something wrong with Nick?" Luke asked.

"I'm afraid he just tried to kill someone...has he contacted you within the last ten minutes?" David asked.

"What?!" Luke exclaimed.

"That's insane! Nick wouldn't kill anyone!" he refuted.

"I'm afraid he tried to strangle Dr. Aeson. She survived the attack and she scratched him. The lab is matching the skin under her DNA to him right about now," David responded, as the young man remained shell shocked.

"I know this must be really difficult to hear, but I need to know if he has contacted you in the last hour?" David asked. Luke shook his head.

"Just a quick text that said he had an emergency with some client and that he'd be back. Guess that was a lie," Luke said bitterly, as he showed him the text.

"Okay...thanks. Listen...why don't you let me and my wife get you some more coffee?" David offered.

"I'm fine...just why would he try to kill someone?" he lamented.

"I don't know...but none of this is your fault," David assured, as he put a hand on the young man's shoulder. He searched his son's eyes for any recognition, but didn't see any and couldn't help but be disappointed by that. He wanted so badly for him to remember too so he and Snow could at least properly comfort him.

"I...I think I just need a little air," he mentioned, as he went outside. Snow and David could only exchange a sad look and watch on from a distance. He opened his arms and Snow dove into them, as he kissed her hair and held her tightly.

"What are we going to do, Charming?" she whispered to him.

"I...I don't know, my love," he responded, wishing he had answers for her...for all of them. Snow saw Weaver come in over his shoulder and noticed that he wasn't alone. Neal, who she knew was Cassidy Gold under the curse, came in behind him. But the person that followed him made her knees give out. Was her mind playing tricks on her? Was she seeing a ghost or was it some cruel trick? Was thinking what she was seeing was real too much to hope.

"Snow?" he asked in concern, as he held her up and kept her from sinking to the floor.

"David…" she murmured, her eyes still locked on the person she could see over his shoulder. The person that was now staring her dead in the eyes. David turned to see what she was fixated on and almost collapsed to the floor himself.

"Emma…" he uttered in disbelief.

"You're alive…" Snow said, choking on her tears.

"Yeah...it was a little touch and go there for a while, but I managed to stay alive long enough for Elsa and the others to find me," she explained, as they saw the Queen of Arendelle behind her, along with Anna and Kristoff. Tears streamed down their faces.

"We got Emma back to Storybrooke and just outside the town line," Kristoff added.

"And then Aphrodite created an elixir to keep my symptoms at bay until we can figure out how to cure my heart. But I'm fine here, because there's no magic," she explained. Snow smiled through her tears, as she cupped her daughter's face and then pulled her into a crushing hug.

"You found us…" she cried. Emma chuckled and her put her arms around them both, as David hugged her too and cradled her head.

"We...we thought you were dead…" David cried.

"I know...I'm sorry," she replied.

"You have nothing to apologize for, baby," Snow admonished, as she kissed Emma's cheek and David kissed her head.

"Emma...it's really you?" Eva asked tearfully.

"Eva...you're awake?" Emma asked, as they hugged.

"She's not the only one that's awake," Regina said, as she came over to them, all smiles, as she was sandwiched between Robin and Roland. She was also in tears, as she had feared she would also never see them again.

"Is there anyone except Neal that isn't awake?" Emma inquired.

"Leo's not…" Snow said.

"Killian and Alice aren't awake yet either," David added.

"And neither is Paul yet. It's a mess," Eva fretted.

"Hey...we'll figure it out. I found you guys, didn't I?" Emma replied.

"Wait...how did you find us? We're in the past," Snow inquired curiously. Emma smiled and gestured behind her. Near the entrance, they could see Rose Red, Fandral, and their children.

"We went to Rose's library and found the book. Then we summoned Heimdall so we could use the bi-frost and used Anna's wishing star to get us to the past. I don't know if that will work again, so I hope the chalice can get us back to 2023 after we break the curse," Emma said.

"It will...it got us here so I think it will take us back too," David assured.

"I'm sure there's a crap ton you need to tell me, so does this place have hot cocoa or something?" she asked. They smiled and hugged her between them again.

"Yeah...we have a lot to tell all of you," Snow said. Since it was the middle of the night, the lobby was mostly deserted, so they all found seats.

"Summer and Bobby...they need to know Emma's alive!" Snow said. Regina nodded.

"We'll go pick them up while you fill everyone in on what we're facing," the former Queen agreed, as she headed out with Robin and Roland in tow.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels is a series with a story based on the racial and political tensions of Los Angeles in the late 1930s, as well as a supernatural aspect from the dark goddess named Magda who has the ability to take the appearance of anyone she chooses. Her goal is to expose the human race as monsters by manipulating various people and situations, shown through her different characteristics, backstories and personalities. She also has a sister who is the Angel of Holy Death who represents death as a person, moving the dead to the afterlife and finding it difficult to do so at times.

Here are all four of Magda’s characters:

Magda - In her true form, Magda has fair skin, grey eyes, and dark brown hair, often seen wearing all black attire. She is charismatic and clever demon who bears a strong hatred for mankind, seeing them only as the monsters they are and wishing to bring that to the surface.

Elsa - Elsa Branson is a German refugee from World War I, who is in an unhappy marriage to an American man and adores her only son. She is delicate with plenty of ambition, she has short, wavy blonde hair and often wears bright colours.

Alex - Alex Malone is a middle-aged assistant to the Councilman who has grey, wavy hair and round eyeglasses. Her personality is cunning, efficient, and energetic, and she takes a like to political scheming and public relations.

Rio - Rio is a red-headed bisexual ringleader of a Chicano gang known as the Pachucos, she also has a beauty mark above her lips. Rio's European  appearance comes from her Spanish decent that immigrated to Mexico.

On the non supernatural side of things the series also covers topics like Nazi spies, mass of Mexican-Americans loosing their homes and a gruesome ritualistic murder case. A character who relates to all aspects in the series is Tiago Vega, he is a detective in the murder case who also comes from a Mexican family that believes in supernatural matters. This leaves him to struggle coping with the spiritual history of his people, and the new world he so desperately wants to fit into.
