Mary

Mary was once a celebrated beauty pageant consultant in Brest, mentoring contestants and orchestrating glamorous transformations until a scandal involving rigged competitions and stolen cosmetic formulas destroyed her reputation overnight. Bitter and vengeful, she retreated into the shadowy corners of the city's underground, where she began experimenting with forbidden alchemy—combining stolen beauty products with dark incantations to create potions that granted supernatural allure at terrible costs to those who used them. Her clients would emerge stunningly beautiful but gradually lose their humanity, becoming hollow shells enslaved to Mary's will through the very vanity she had cultivated in them. The pageant world that had once celebrated her now feared her name whispered in dressing rooms and green rooms as a cautionary tale of ambition twisted into malevolence. Mary's shop, hidden behind a crumbling facade in Brest's oldest quarter, became legend among desperate women seeking impossible transformations, each transaction binding another soul to the wicked witch's growing collection of beautiful prisoners. She had learned that true power lay not in bestowing beauty, but in weaponizing the desperate desire for it, making her far more dangerous than any broomstick-riding crone from fairy tales. Now, with each passing year, Mary's own reflection grew more grotesque as the dark magic consumed her, a living punishment for the corruption she had spread throughout her beloved city.
