Mara

Mara is a witch born to unknown parents.

Early Life
Mara has been a witch for a long time, given that there are no records from when she was actually born. Mara was considered one of the weakest witches, and she knew it. Despite faring well with spells and her element, she knew that others were more powerful, and it drove her to anxiety. For the longest time, she has been able to deal with it in a healthy way, living an almost normal life. For the last couple days, anxiety took a bad turn and she uses food as a way of dealing with anxiety and comforting herself.

Elysian Peace (RP 1)
She was present at the masquerade briefly, keeping Brina and Masaya company. She spent most of her time alone and checking on them.

Twisted Everyway
Mara was present at Kolton's awakening, appearing shortly after he felt and feeling his source of magic calling out to her. In seconds, she was by his side, using the limited magic she had to help him heal and prompting him to help her and concentrate on the heat. In minutes, he was healed, and had shown his witch mark.
