Everything Old is New Again
Song here, and I bring to you one Margaret St. John (Maggie to her friends and Aunt Maggie to half the Deck), returning character, currently an 8 of Hearts and member of that suit for 30 years. You can read her app here.
She's a BAMF grand dame with a deadly aim who left her Spade roots when (at the ripe young age of twenty-nine) she fell in love with her mark (a certain heartfelt King) and became his paramour instead msters have (pretty much) stopped trying to make an example out of her for deserting them, or (as Maggie says) "stop sending me presents that I keep sending back in boxes." Some claim her vaunted gardens hide the bones of many a Spade seeking advancement. Indeed, few remember when she was the shining star of the Spades, their up and coming cleaner, spy and wetwork specialist.
Maggie is everyone's favorite "auntie." It's a role she's played so long that most people forget she was once the Spades' most feared weapon. She relies on charm and sharp eyes--and sharper wits--when need be. Maggie adores children and, due to lack of any of her own, has adopted most of the Deck. She plays the role of gossipy auntie quite well.
In reality she remains a strange blend of Spade and Heart. She sees the worth of both philosophies and has seen the worst of both philosophies when taken to extremes. She joined--and remains with-- the Hearts because the Spades committed the unforgivable and because someone must look out for their interests. Poor dears. It's a wide world out there. Some of them tend to forget that.
Maggie's a crack gardener and cook. She can often be found puttering in her own gardens or attending to those of the Hearts. She bakes the best brownies on the Deck and make a cheesecake to die for. She's unflappable, unsinkable, unassailable, and yet never cold. She'll do anything to protect her Hearts--and has--whether they know it or not. She'll continue to do so until the day she dies.
I know we have new players and characters, so hit me with your CR!
