Disposition:

Somehow she has the ability to combine being extremely charismatic while having an extremely bad temper. She has extremely black moods where she will just start smashing things. In large part her black moods and destructive streak is how she got the name “Typhoon Mary.” Gets angry for a great many reasons. She gets angry at the wealthy for having more than she had and the poor because she sees her childhood when she sees them. Other cases include the jealousy of other women, any that she sees as possibly being more successful than she is. In general, she does not appear to like other women very much.

Ever since anybody can remember, Mary-Lee always wanted the finer things in life. She wanted expensive clothing, fine jewelry, to live in a penthouse, etc. She especially loves jewelry and most of her attacks have been for jewelry and precious gems. Pretty much has always been without scruples, willing to take advantage of anybody around her. This includes persuading men around her to give her stuff. She has always been quite skilled with men generally even with her temper. Before her transformation, her plan was to find wealthy men and get them to marry her. One might expect that many might have suffered from accidents. Now, she will often betray a lover so that they take the rap for a theft so that she might escape.

Now with her abilities of controlling the weather, she can get what she wants on her own. Tends to lack subtly and will often smash to get what she wants. Interestingly, she is a coward and when her own skin is in danger, she will almost always beat a hasty retreat. Does not like fighting in close combat, preferring to use her wind abilities to strike. Her favorite opening attack is to throw multiple whirlwinds around. May also use fog to create cover for her attacks.

Typhoon Mary’s History:

Mary-Lee was born into a family which one could only call “Poor White Trash” in Arkansas. Her parents only having sporadic jobs and often ending up on state support, Mary-Lee grew up in a run down trailer. Neither she or her four siblings ever had much and they were often ignored by their parents. Several times her parents were also threatened by child services that their children might be taken away. It might have turned out better for Mary-Lee as well as her brothers and sisters if they had.

As many children in such settings, she had to fight for what she had. This included with her own siblings as well as other children. From an early age, she had a ruthless streak, taking advantage of others whenever the situation presented itself. Always had a bit of a bad temper and would sometimes fly into rages. Never having much, Mary-Lee always dreamed of a better life. She wanted beautiful jewelry, fine clothing, expensive clothes, and of course lots of money.

Her ruthlessness might have served her well in business or even in law. Unlike virtually all of her brothers and sisters, she actually got pretty decent grades and graduated high school. Unfortunately, none of her teachers put her on the path to university and as one might expect her parents never encouraged her.

Most likely, her teachers expected her to marry soon after graduated or even beforehand. Her two sisters dropped out of high school when they became pregnant, one when she was just fourteen. Quite attractive, it was not like Mary-Lee was without boy friends. Rumors are that she had several abortions as a teenager although there has never been any confirmation.

Even in school, she was skilled at manipulating her boy friends, including talking one into buying her a quite nice convertible. This is in spite of the fact of her bad temper. Her plans at this time were to find a wealthy man, maybe elderly, and get him to marry her. Likely drain his bank accounts dry and then find a new wealthy target. With her ruthlessness, she might have become a “Black Widow” in time where she helped her husbands to an early grave. Still, hard to know how successful she might have been with her bad temper.

Other than her skills with manipulating men, she learned how to cheat at gambling and had manage to acquire some skill at it. While never liking the risk involved, also learned how to pick pockets with some skill as well. It was a way she could make a bit of money when unable to convince a boy friend to give her money and her gambling skills failed as well. As one might expect, on occasion she picked the pocket of a boyfriend. Pretty athletic in school generally and was a cheerleader for most of her time high school. Always had a passion for singing and dancing and might even be able to make a living as a profession with a bit of luck.

She had been preparing to move to the city when events though changed her life. It was a weird confluence of events that would be impossible to duplicate. While not as well known for tornadoes as Kansas, Arkansas has more than its share of tornadoes. At the outskirts of town, there was a long abandoned government, maybe military, research facility. Long before some mutagenic chemicals had been stored there and then forgotten. Perhaps it had been part of some sort of Cold War experiment. People drove by the buildings every day and paid the “Danger” signs no heed.

As far would have it, Mary-Lee had been driving beside the complex when a massive tornado struck. The funnel first ripped through the complex before engulfing her car. Somehow the tornado managed to shatter the containers that the chemicals had been stored in and the mutagenic compounds were aerosolized. How those chemicals reacted to her is unknown but somehow she managed to survive apparently unhurt.

It was not long until she discovered she had extraordinary powers. It is most likely that she already had the potential but that the exposure to the chemicals triggered the latent abilities and probably shaped their exact form. Learned quickly that she could control the weather and soon learned she could fly as well. It took a bit more time until she realized she could create a protective force field around herself.

Somebody of a different background might have become a hero. Not Mary-Lee however, instead using her abilities for her own gain and to take out her anger on unfortunates around her. One of her first displays of her power was to break into a jewelry store with the storm she generated virtually completely destroying the store. Many of her break in and robbery were just as destructive as the first one and people began calling her “Typhoon Mary” as a result.

Even though it is well known that she is poison, she has still been able to convince a number of males to help her in her various scheme. Quite often they are her lovers. Does not ally herself often with other women because she has a much harder time twisting them around her finger and she does not have any interest in women. Even as loves, she sees nothing in betraying them. Has done that several times with those who have helped her, leaving them to take the blame.
