~Appearance~
"Unless you got some height potion or power you have been hiding this entire time, I don't wanna hear it."

Marsha's short (5 foot) and she knows it, you do not need to remain her, much less tease her... Marsha could pass as a young tween if she wanted too, with that cute adorable face of hers and small frame, she is the perfect disguise for oblivious people. Marsha is obsessed with her hair and has to make sure it is perfect before starting her day. Anyone that so dare lay a finger on it is about to get smacked. Her finger nails are super short from where she has bitten them out of anxiety.

~Personality~
Marsha may not look the part but she is very intense. Marsha likes to make it clear that she prefers to be in control of situations and will not take anyone's crap that says she can not. She can be head-strong in terms of her outlooks on society and without a proper argument she will not change her mind. It can be difficult to change Marsha's goal, just because she puts a lot of thought and determination in her goals. She becomes very attached to this goal, and while she prefers (loves!) when their is an honest person in the group to point out a flaw/give advice, it makes her feel vulnerable and like they are taking control of her because of her flaws in her ideas. Teamwork is most definitely not her strong suit.

Marsha is a honest individual, and has respect for others that are as well. It can make others trying to understand Marsha confusing, because she reacts negatively to honest advice that you give her. Marsha is a smart teenager that knows that others are trying to help, but their advice triggers unwanted memories and makes her feel vulnerable once more. This can make her feel like they know something that she does not want them to know. She is secretive with certain ideas she might have or even just things about herself. She would never lie about it but would rather just state, "I don't want to talk about it", "not now", or if she felt like the time was right then she would spill. She hates lying so she would never lie.

Marsha is not all intense and controlling, but is always up for some friendly competition and terrible jokes. Marsha is not one to back down on a challenge, mostly because she likes to prove that she can do it. She is not going to go and jump off a cliff because she is not stupid but she will dive into it if there is a reasonable enough water at the bottom.

Marsha is surprisingly loyal to the people that she classifies as friends. She will legitmently die for them, even if she will not state it out loud. Marsha love is tough love, and will she will not bake you a cake or give you a hug, she'll smile and take a bullet for you.

~Special Power~

Power
The ability to take someone EMOTIONAL pain and give them a soothing/calming effect (inner peace)

It rids the individual of their painful memory that is causing the pain and after taking it the person will no longer remember having it happen

Marsha simply places her finger on their forehead and a fiery snake will appear and slither down her arm and into the person's mind. It will remove the memories that are causing the pain and then leave the person's mind. The person will be left with warm feelings.

While fire brings beauty it also brings pain.

The snake will then disappear into Marsha's mind and she will take on the memories instead.

~Drawbacks~
NOTE: Ironically, Marsha is traumatized to actually use her ability.

Marsha now has their emotional pain, any triggers that would causes the original individual to snap will cause her instead.

Only way for the memories to 'go away' is:

a) if it is short-term like break up/car crash it'll fade away eventually

b) if long-term like murder/kidnapping she'll need therapeutic help

Every time she 'helps' it leaves a scar somewhere on her... she calls it an emotional scar... and once the stolen memory disappear and she is no longer be 'suffering' from the pain and the emotional scar will disappear

The only way for the connection to work is if the person is thinking about the memories, Marsha can not just tap their forehead and expect to take the memories

Taking in the memories is extremely painful especially if the memory is a long-term thing (like abuse/traumatic event). It'll flash across her mind and relive with what they felt, and there is no way to stop it. Sometimes she'll just sit there for minutes/hours, unable to move if it is that traumatic.

~Advantages~
Marsha is able to help their friends overcome their pain that has been restricting them for certain things, Marsha hates seeing her friends down and it has always been a her goal to have her friends to be themselves.

NOTE: She can somewhat tame the snake to make the pain not be so unbearable (but this is advance skill so she will most definitely not be able to do this at the start)

~Backstory~
Being the middle child of 4 siblings, Marsha was nearly ignored for most of her life. (Talk about being stuck in the middle) everyone in her family already had their buddy. While they had nothing personal against Marsha, she/and her family just did not have a connection with her siblings and parents. Her parents were always focused on her two older sisters that were getting ready for college/marriage (Freda 18, Anvi 20) and the youngest twins, adopted, (Juhi and Juhnu 7) who never seem to know who to be independent.
Marsha never seemed to have control of anything. Anytime she seemed to have just a moment to talk to 'mama' about this new scarf she made, one of the twins would be punching the other. Marsha did not want to be lash out or cause any trouble because it would only stress her mama and papa more. She was their non-trouble daughter that if she need help with something she'd YouTube it or 'figure it out'.
Marsha had a more unique taste then her family. Her desire were usually casted aside in an allowance for others to feel more comfortable. For example, whenever her father suggested they should take some take out instead of having a home cooked meal for once. Marsha would always suggest a Japanese place or Mexican, but would be casted aside because the twins would not be able to handle their food. Marsha came to despise the twins because of they'd usually ruin everything for her.
It also did not matter how many times her family stated "just give me one minute and I'll be back" or "we will go next time, I promise" because they always broke it. She started to become immune to 'i promise' and does not seem to be let down when someone does break it.
The lack of attention thought the years caused Marsha to seek the spotlight at her school/friends. Asserting dominance over her peers helped allow her to finally be in control and have her ideas heard. It was when a person came and offered her to participate in a experiment. She did not think much of it, thinking it was a harmless thing, and wanted to go because she wanted to prove she had a purpose.

~Strengths~
"I have a crush and her name is determination"- Everything Marsha does as driven with her willpower to achieve her goals, whether they be big or small. She seems to have a never ending cycle of goals because without it, she feels lost and confused of her purpose in life.

"If they don't return it, they don't deserve it"- Marsha likes to keep her friends close, especially trustworthy people just because she has a hard time actually trusting people. She becomes more protective of them once she starts to feel more comfortable and they have given her a reason (action) to trust her.

"They say 'honest is the best policy' and I would have to agree" - Marsha honestly can allow people to see that she is trustworthy (unless that is having to carry a secret). However, she is proven to be loyal and would not backstab someone.

~Weaknesses~
"Teamwork does not make the dream work"- as stated numerous times, Marsha prefers to be in control. Working in groups has been a struggles for her and has a tendency to shoot other people's ideas down for her own. Collaborating wastes time, and they could be using that time to carry out her plan that she has already created.

"What do you mean my idea SUCKS!?"- Marsha is all about honest, unless it's targeted towards her. While she won't go swinging punches at the person, she becomes more hostile and guarded with her opinions. Marsha is more substantial to holding back her ideas and closing up if she is extremely passionate about it.

"I think you're the mule here, not me!" - Marsha would butt heads with people if she could. Her stubbornness can lead to a delay if someone is just as equally stubborn.

~Likes~
Jokes (when the time is right), puns, tea, insects, blue, sewing, cultures (finds different cultures interesting)

~Dislikes~
snakes, sweet foods, snow, puzzles, math, philosophy stuff, fire

~Fears~
Snakes- reminds her of the fire snake
Fire -anything warm/hot makes her think she's about to take on painful memory
The dark- currently suffering a long-term memory of an attempted murder (the scar is on her collarbone to her neck)

~Quotes~
"Appearances can be deceiving and I bet I gave you whiplash"

"You're a hazard to society... and a coward, do 20 and I might change my opinion"

"I may lack in the collaboration department but at least I make up for it with my brilliant ideas"

"'I promise' is just another meaningless phrase in the English language"

"This is an original state-of-the-art outfit, made by yours truly."

~Trivia~

-Is mixed race (Indian-Turkish)

-Can make some killer Indian/Turkish food (IT WILL BURN YOUR MOUTH THOUGH)

-Likes insects because people always forgot that insects are everywhere, and she associates herself with them. Watches them for hours sometimes and will feed them some food

-She makes a lot of her own outfits, since she gets hand-me-downs from her older sisters. Makes new and 'cooler' outfits. (Sometimes makes outfits for others, as well)

-Sometimes finds the floor more comfortable than the bed, so she sleeps on the ground with a blanket all curled up.

-Has to be at least ten minutes earlier to anything. Like literally will freak out if they are on time and she might just kill-over-and-die if she is just a minute late
