Maggie Maudlin
Maggie Maudlin is a Wizened in the motley called the Back Stairs Mob.
Overview
| “ | We are the hidden ones, you see. That is our gift, and also our burden. To be seen is to be seen. | ” |
Once a member of the nouveau riche, Maggie Maudlin’s coal baron father sent her off to the convent at seventeen, being unable to find her a husband and seeing no other use for a daughter. There, the girl stayed until being taken by the Witch Maker, forced to play the apprentice and be brutally punished for any mistakes. Maudlin escaped by deliberately mis-brewing a potion: instead of a winter storm, she brewed a storm of iron nails. On returning home, the changeling found that she could see visions of what was to come. Her goal now is to seal the Others away from the mortal world forever.
Appearance
Small and slight, this Oracle has sharply pointed ears and too-large blue eyes. She was aged by her experiences in Arcadia and now walks with a hunched, shuffling gait. Her voice is thin and raspy from years of breathing in toxic potion fumes.
