PERSONALITY: When introducing Marlene McKinnon, it is imperative to understand that her character is pure and intact. Marlene does not and will not change for anyone but herself. She doesn't allow family, friends, boyfriends, teachers, or anyone to make her feel like that way she is is wrong. She had always been true to herself, confident in her appearance and demeanor, even if a little too confident.
Confidence is both Marlene's greatest strength and worst fault. Her ability to carry herself without fear gives her the upper hand in many situations. However, her confidence borders on arrogance, and she can be too high-headed for her own good. This is especially dangerous because of Marlene's lust for competition. Her confidence blinds her, and she'll barrel into things (fights, dares, etc) without thinking. She is afraid of very little and this bravery is commendable, albeit rather stubborn.
Marlene can be very back and forth about what she takes to heart, as she doesn't have a very well-developed sense of humor. What most people can make a joke out of and move on from, Marlene will hold on to. She holds grudges, and can be prone to argument. If you have her on your side, though, at least for the time being, she'll have no trouble helping you settle and problem that she's not even involved in. She means well, honestly! But Marlene's been known to unnecessarily involve herself in the affairs of others. Sometimes, she'll bluntly confront someone, tell them off, and it will be settled. Other times, however, she'll just make it worse.
Marlene is a blunt, brash person, and this can turn a lot of people off. Her people skills aren't exactly the best, and she has a distinct lack of tact. Those who know her though, know there is a softer side to Marlene that very few people see. She covers this up with her dry cynicism, a biting sarcasm that is present in almost everything she says. She doesn't like to emote, rarely smiles, and prefers to be obnoxiously pessimistic and distrusting by nature. Along with this, Marlene has never been the kind of person who likes to talk-it-out. She prefers to think her own issues through, which can be frustrating for her friends when she's going through hard times.

HISTORY: Marlene Alexandra McKinnon was the first daughter born to Mark and Peneople McKinnon, and from the start, they knew they had a handful of a daughter. Her childhood wasn't unicorns and witch dolls, but Quidditch, mud, and much more danger than her mother would have liked. She was the darling of the neighborhood that had a penchant for punching neighborhood boys in the face if they tried to step inside her tree fort. Still, despite rough beginnings, these neighborhood boys remain some of her best friends today (once they were able to become friends, at least). She always wore her hair short like them, and dressed as a tomboy, not caring about pretty shoes or dresses.
Marlene is partially the person she is today because of her family and the environment that they produced for her. Her parents weren't exactly absentee parents, but they were and are constantly busy with the Order of the Phoenix and just simply being aurors. Both, when not bogged down by work, were caring and attentive, but more often than not they were irritable, distant, and anxious. Marlene just learned to deal with it. It was natural for her.
There was no doubt in anyone's mind that she would be a Gryffindor like her father. At first, Marlene was perfectly miserable, much unlike other kids her age at the school. She wasn't good at making friends, and she missed her friends back home. Her overly confident attitude and cynical nature didn't really attract people towards her. She was seen as cocky, annoying, and super weird, especially because she was a girl who basically appeared and acted like a boy. Boys didn't want to be friends with her because she was always trying to prove them wrong, and they didn't like being shown up by a girl. Girls didn't want to be friends with her because she was the biggest tomboy in the school and couldn't related to anything feminine.
The only cure was time. By her third and fourth years, she'd made a couple steady friends. Those friends encouraged her to try out for the quidditch team, but she didn't need much coaxing. She made it as a beater. Her fiery attitude translated to the bat perfectly. Her success on the team was an asset, and she met and befriended more people, becoming much more comfortable at Hogwarts as she did.
Everything changed the summer between her fourth and fifth years. Hitting puberty at full force, Marlene finally started to feel different. She wanted to be like the older girls at Hogwarts. She was starting to see boys less as imbecilic punching bags ad more as objects of affection. She was finally growing out of her childhood and into the strong, confident woman that she had the potential to become. Her curves grew in, and she started wearing clothing that complimented them (but only once in a while...jeans or shorts and a tank or tee were her staples). She charmed her hair longer and wore it around her shoulders, brushing it in the morning. Even her sister taught her how to use mascara. When she returned to school, few people even recognized her, until her cutting sarcasm and demeanor shined through. She appeared completely different, and boys started to notice. She was, in short, a babe.
Despite the changes, she's very much the same person, just shedding the awkward skin of her pre-adolescence. Marlene's making her way through school as best she can, excelling in wandwork classes and blowing off the rest because they bore her. She loves a good duel. Beating is still her favorite thing about the school, but her new affinity for males has been bringing her out on the weekend...hopefully she'll find someone who isn't completely turned off by her rough exterior.
