Full name: Mary-Elizabeth Englund
Alias: Flare/Scary Mary
Age: 30
Birthday: 31st October 1982
Hometown: Jackson, Mississippi
Current Occupation: Prostitute
Appearance: Mary is often seen in a dishevelled state, with wild bleached hair and smudged black make-up. Her clothes are all inappropriate for winter weather and mainly made of black leather.
Personality: Mary is paranoid schizophrenic so often varies from existing in a day-dream state to bouts of extreme violence. She rarely talks and when she does, she uses the lexis of a young child.
Powers: Mary is pyrokinetic but cannot create fire.
History: As a young child, Mary lived in Jackson with her father, mother and older brother. Her father was an alcoholic and used to take out his anger about the family's financial struggles on his wife - often leaving her with bones broken by the time he let up. Mary's mother, Irene, put up with this until Mary's sixth birthday. Her small 'party' was disrupted by the early arrival of her father who had been made redundant at noon and had been drinking ever since. That night, he not only hit Irene but Mary's eight-year-old brother, Joseph, for the first time, as well. Deciding enough was enough, Irene waited until her husband was asleep before she took her children and made to escape in her husband's car.
However, before they could pull away from the house, Mary's father appeared outside, having been woken by the confused Mary's crying. Though Irene did her best to lock the doors and drive off, before she could even reach the round, her husband broke the window and killed his wife on the spot with an axe left in the neighbours garden. The noise woke the entire street and many neighbours rushed to help but were too late to save Joesph, who was also murdered by his father. They managed to pull Mary to safety, but not before her father had caused a cut from her ribcage to side, leaving a still visible scar.
The traumatised Mary was moved from foster home to foster home as her father was tried for murder and committed suicide in prison. Eventually she moved to stay with Patrick and Stephanie Granger at age ten in New York. The Grangers had two daughters and a son of their own - all of whom used to pick on Mary for her bedwetting and nightmares. Mary stayed with the Grangers until she was fifteen and returned home from school early - bunking a lesson. On entering the house - she first presumed it empty until she discovered one of her 'sisters', almost unconscious being assaulted by her brother. Reminded of her mother, Mary picked up a knife and stabbed the brother twenty times until he was dead.
As her 'sister'; screamed, Mary calmly washed the knife, returned it to its place and left the house - never to come back. She moved around the city, working as a prostitute and occasionally suffered violent outbursts that often resulted in the death of a client. It was about this time that she first discovered her mutation when she accidentally set a building alight. Though she didn't understand her new powers, Mary was quick to use them - taking pleasure in watching her worst clients burn to death.
Mary was eventually arrested at age 24, in connection to one of the deaths, but a lack of evidence failed to lead to conviction and she was instead referred to a doctor for psychiatric help. While in the hospital, Mary befriended a young girl called Lucy who always carried a rag doll with her. When Lucy died, smothering herself, Mary suffered another breakdown and attacked the guards, making her escape from the unit with Lucy's rag doll. Since then, Mary has returned to crawling the streets, always carrying 'Dolly' with her.
