Mara isn't all that much to look at. At 5'3” and nonathletic physique she's not exactly “standing out” especially so in a school like King's Academy. But Mara isn't exactly wanting to stand out either – a sentiment which she is thankful for considering there are dozens and dozens of blonde white girls in the halls of the private school she has been keen on surviving for the last handful of years that have made up her “high school experience”. In terms of clothing she skirts the line of “acceptably geeky” and “boring-ass tomboy”. Truth be told, Mara hasn't worn a dress since she was in elementary school. Though perhaps one day she might try to look a little more presentable. But she hasn't found a reason to really do that yet.

The daughter of a German-born Real Estate Magnate and a ditzy airline stewardess, Mara has had a pretty tame existence in the greater Southeastern Florida area.

Mara has never really thought all that much of things or had any notable tragedy in her life nor has she ever butted heads with her parents all that much. Her father is often out-of-town and her mother treats her as non-stern mother's would. Really the most troubling challenges she's had to deal with is dealing with the monotony of middle school and high school – and all of the drama that comes with such things. She's never really gravitated towards any cliques and she's tried to keep her distance from people unless they were people she enjoyed being around. There are very few people who make her think of making such a distinction. Besides not many people really bother the third-rate blonde girl who is too busy with her video games, books, and debates.

With the end of her senior year on the horizon she feels a sense of relief, but anything can happen in a school year...
