Goals/Aspirations:
Marcia wants to eventually become a full-time teacher. She also wants to find out exactly what happened between Maria and Marcus. Lastly, but most importantly to her, Marcia wants to gain favor with Maria and Cornelia.
Appearance:
Marcia, unlike her younger sisters, likes to wear skirts, and has a favorite blue skirt she calls her ‘lucky skirt’. Marcia doesn’t like clothes which hide her legs, and, although she doesn’t really mind wearing long sleeves, Marcia prefers short sleeves, too. Marcia often wears dress shoes or high heels with some sort of stockings, although she does occasionally like to wear tennis shoes.
Personality:
Marcia is an optimist and tries to be a cheerful girl. She is rather intelligent, and has both the blessing and the curse of having a somewhat dry sense of humor, causing her to often come across as a sarcastic witch. Marcia tends to get rather droopy when her mind turns to her sisters, and she’ll occasionally wind up lost in thought while trying to figure out what exactly caused them to seem to hate her. Marcia doesn’t get mad easily, but, when she does get angry, she gets rather loud and aggressive.
Marcia also has another personality, one which is triggered by being drunk. Whenever Marcia's other personality emerges, she becomes rather loopy and... wierd, tending to fall in love with anything she sees, and seeing everyone as a cat. She becomes easily offended and very attention-addicted, and is liable to burst into tears if one of her 'kitty-cats' rejects her. Marcia also becomes rather promiscuous, once prompting her to kiss Maria. Marcia will return to normal upon sobering up, at which time she won't recall having been drunk.

History:
Marcia, being the eldest child, has always been the standard by which her sisters have been judged. As such, Maria and Cornelia have always resented Marcia, but Marcia, as intelligent as she is, hasn’t grasped this fact and, as a result, she has come to blame Marcus for the schism. Marcia noticed almost immediately when Maria began to avoid being alone with Marcus, and Marcia has always had her suspicions as to Maria’s sexual orientation.
Marcia and Marcus have never gotten along. Marcia found out accidentally about Marcus’s love for their mother when she overheard the conversation in which Mia rejected him. Marcia had always disapproved of Marcus’s habit of trying to keep Mia to himself, and she felt he was wrong to fall in love with her. She does not know about Marcus’s fellings for Maria, or that he raped her.
As far as academics go, Marcia has always been the top of her class. She was allowed to skip 5th and 9th grades, and was in several dual enrollment courses in high school. Marcia graduatesd as the valedictorian and enrolled in a four-year university right after high school. She has a Bachelor's Degree in mathematics as well as english, but Marcia decided against a major in social studies. This will be her first year as a substitute teacher.
Roleplaying Sample:
“Marcus… It isn’t that I don’t love you at all. It’s just… I don’t love you in that way. I’m sorry, but please try to understand that I married your father because I love him very much. …You’ll find someone you love even more than me someday, so, please, don’t cry.”, Mia said, her voice soft and soothing. She sighed sadly, wondering how she’d not noticed that her own son was in love with her.
<What!?! How dare he? Does he think he’s special or something?>, Marcia angrily thought. She’d gone to her mother’s room to ask if she could go to Sarah’s house, but, instead, she ended up watching this whole debacle from the door, which had been standing ajar. Marcia couldn’t believe what she was hearing. She didn’t want to believe it. Why would Marcus think it was okay to be in love with their mom? It wasn’t right!
