Vivian "V" Maroon

Appearance
Mara has long maroon hair that stops at her waist. Two fox ears of the same color rest on the top of her head, emoting her emotions clearly. She wears a small red top that reveals a little bit of her belly button. She wears an arm bangle on her right arm and white bandages are wrapped around her fore arms up to her palms with patches of skin showing. Her fox tail is bushy and sways with ease. Large white shorts cover her knees with an ammo pack strapped to her left thigh. She wears black sandals and has a deep red scarf tied around her waist like a skirt. She also wears a silver scarf around her throat.

Personality
Mara is shy. With her inactive voice, most people cannot understand her. Even some people can't understand the signing that she does. This led her to be social awkward and reclusive around a lot of people. However, one can understand her, they can see past her shy shell and see the beautiful girl underneath. She is quiet, sweet and thoughtful of her teammates. Someone that people can depend on.

There is, however, a different side of her that she is even surprised about. A more rough and protective side of her. And only one person brings it out of her. V. Whenever he gets in trouble, gets severely hurt in combat or does something else that cause harm unto himself without a valid reason in her eyes, she becomes rough with him. Even as far as to sign at him that he's an idiot and other things. But she would also show fierce protectiveness and remain at his bedside until he got better.

In battle, she remains calm and confidant. All of her initial timidness and doubt vanish, leaving behind this person to deal with the threat. Not witty like V, she keeps quiet and takes orders from V without a second thought.

Powers and Abilities
Mara is a more stealth-like member of the team, able to be unnaturally quiet. So, she became the infiltrator of the team in which they used her for recon and other stealth-like jobs. Due to lack of close combat experience she relies on her quiet nature to remain undetected. She has become quite skilled in silent steps and climbing, Parkour being a skill she is quite adept at.

In open combat, Mara favors are more ranged approach. She uses her whip to attack opponents at a distance or use her environment to gain the upper hand in the fight. She has little close combat experience, and instead when in close quarters relies on her shotgun and simple kicks and dodges to deal with her enemies.

Backstory
Mara used to live in a village outside of the country of Vale, closer to the edge of Forever Fall. She lived on a farm with her mother, father and three young siblings. However, one day when Mara was 9, a group of mysterious warriors came through Mara's village and began to pillage it. These warriors (later revealed to be Vincent's loyal followers) began rounding up young children and infants and executing teenagers and adults. Fires were set to village buildings, adults were slaughtered. In an effort to save their children, Mara's father told Mara to take the younger siblings and rush off into Forever Fall and run, never looking back. Mara rushed her siblings out of the house, but not before she saw a hooded man kill her father and mother.

Dashing out into the forest, Mara and her brothers and sister were being chased by a squad of the mysterious warriors. One by one, they captured Mara's siblings. Mara kept running, and she would've have been captured too if an Ursa Major hadn't attacked the warriors. Remembering her mother's lessons about herbs she could eat, Mara made her way to Vale. She remembered the city because her uncle lived there. Mara soon found her uncle and told him the story. Devastated but relieved that Mara was alive, the Uncle took Mara in as his own child.

However, after that incident, Mara couldn't speak a word. Traumatic events causing her brain to stop sending signals to her vocal chords as a way to compensate for the loss of her family. However, it was also on that day she decided to become a Huntress, so that no one else would have to feel the pain that she had felt. She attended Signal where she learned her combat skills and became specialized in stealth. Though her years at Signal, though, she remained distant and shy because no one wanted to talk to the girl with no voice. She quickly learned sign language and writing out her thoughts in explicit detail. After graduating and being accepted into Beacon at age 17, Mara felt excited but nervous. She soon met her future partner, V and the two started to become friends.

After a night of restless sleep, Mara and many others were sent out into Forever Fall to retrieve the relics and create teams. She was cornered by Beowolves when V came into rescue her. They became partner and they soon met up with Lilly and Naomi. Together, they defeated a powerful Beowolf Alpha and claimed the white bishop pieces. Mara then became a member of Team VMLN with V. In order to have money for themselves, V introduced Mara and the others to a local diner to help get jobs. Mara became a waitress and the stories of Team VMLN began.
