Malory wasn’t a kid who believed in magic—the tooth fairy, Santa Clause—that was all a bunch of nonsense to her. Those things just weren’t real to her, despite how hard her mother tried to stop her from spoiling Christmas for her younger brothers. When Malory was fifteen, her parents divorced, and her mother took full custody of Malory and her younger twin brothers, Simon and Jarred. No longer being able to afford their home in upstate New York with her income, Malory’s mom packed up the kids and moved them to Maryland, where Malory’s great, great uncle had left a house to the family. Arthur Spiderwick had disappeared one afternoon nearly seventy years ago, and left the house to his closest living relative. That was his daughter, Lucinda, who had been a little girl when he disappeared, but she had been put into a series of care homes after spouting a bunch of nonsense about her father being taken away by fairies and goblins living in the woods around her house, leaving the house to Malory’s mother.
The first week in that house changed Malory’s life forever.
Thankfully, with Malory now convinced, Jarred and her were able to save Simon. The three of them were given the Sight perinatally by a hobgoblin—he very kindly spit in their faces after eating a roasted cat, their roasted cat—making it easier for them to fight the battle they had gotten themselves into. Trolls and goblins sent by Mulgarath terrorized the Grace siblings, their house, their mother. The conclusion of the battle columnated at the Grace family’s new house, ending with their house completely ransacked, filled with dead goblins, and Mulgarath, thankfully, dead, eaten by previously mentioned hobgoblin.
Mulgarath was dead, and as far as they knew, the information about Arthur’s book wasn’t spread farther than all the beings that were now currently turning into mush on their kitchen floor. The book was safe, and they were safe. Mostly. Now that they knew about this world, they were a part of it, especially Malory. With her experience in fencing and sword fighting, she became the main hunter and protector of the family. Jarred, when he became an adult, learned how to use a variety of guns, letting him help Malory hunt. Simon, on the other hand, became the researcher of the Grace kids, adding onto their great, great uncle Arthur’s research. Though this time, they kept it a lot more secretive—they didn’t want another battle with an ogre.
Now, ten years later, Malory is the only one who still lives in the house where all of this started.
At the age of twenty-seven, she was the last member of her family to still live at the estate in Thurmont, Maryland. Her brother Jarred had moved to Northern California, where he kept an eye on the giant and dragon populations. There was a very delicate balance to maintain between the two species that had a habit of killing each other. Simon, on the other hand, had moved back to upstate New York with her mother Helen. Simon got a job with computer programming, and Helen was writing a series of short stories and novels that just happened to reflect real life events a bit too much for Malory’s liking. Especially when she was the one creating the illustrations for said stories.
Malory was…just a bit of an outcast. The people of Thurmont weren’t cruel to her—aside from the odd kids that kept sneaking onto her property—but they definitely kept their distance. Something always weird happened around the Spiderwicks, ever since her uncle had gone missing and his daughter spouted stories about fairies until her dying days. Then Malory’s little family showed up, and well…you shouldn’t cross paths with a black cat or walk under an open ladder, and you shouldn’t talk to the family who speak with monsters. Malory was avoided by most anyone in the town, only a handful of the citizens either didn’t care about her family’s history, or believed her. Chuck, the owner of the local secondhand book shop in town, had his own share of witnessing the strange and unusual. Hell, he even had a brownie living in his shop, who kept the place clean and free of moths. The creature was shy, though, and both him and Malory had only caught glimpses of it, despite all the honey Malory had tried to bribe it with. Chuck was probably the closest person Malory had to a friend, though they didn't hang out outside of the shop.
"Are you sure you're human?"
Malory had been asked this by a Tree Elf that lived in the woods around Malory's house once. The elf had been alive for nearly a century, not wandering much farther than the roots of their birth tree, but Malory saw them often enough while hunting in the area. Of course, Malory's innitial respone was "Of course I am, what else could I be?" And didn't think about it much farther than that. The Tree Elf didn't elaborate, and Malory moved on. Malory didn't have any reason to believe she was anything other than human, and she honestly forgot the conversation shortly afterwards.
Though Malory was unaware, there could be a case made that something wasn't quite...normal, with her.

Malory's Best (and only) Friend: Cassandra Hanson
(FC Lzzy Hale)
Malory met the shapeshifter in college, though she didn't know it at the time. It actually took over a year until Cassy accidentally revieled her identity to Malory.
Comments
Eva watched as Malory struggled to get free. She was already losing her patience with the young woman which only made her more curious why on Earth Maleficent had let her go. She was a monster hunter and the so called Mistress of All Evil had let her leave the estate without so much as a scratch? Once the hunter was finished speaking, Eva gestured to one of the veiled women standing beside her. "This is Miranda. We have known each other for centuries. After I escaped Maleficent, she was one of the first members of my coven. The potion we created together completely reversed the aging process allowing us to look young forever." Her optimistic tone faded as she continued the story.
"We used several vials of Maleficent's blood in order to complete the potion. Everything was perfect until that monster killed my best friend." She looked over at Miranda for a moment and nodded. The veiled figure lifted her hands in response and moved the thick black veil away from her face. Underneath Malory could see the rotting corpse of a young woman. "Turns out my potion had a rather unpleasant side effect. When Maleficent killed Miranda, her soul did not leave her body as it should have. Instead, it remained trapped inside her decaying body. Our magic can slow the decomposition, but she cannot be how she was unless I perfect the potion granting her complete immortality." Eva's potion could make the drinker ageless, but it could not prevent death. She believed that the only way to achieve full immortality was to obtain more of Maleficent's blood.
"I need more of Maleficent's blood to finish my work and you are going to obtain it for me." She took another sip of her wine. "She must have seen something in you to let you go. Frankly, I no longer care what that is. You are part of this whether you like it or not." Once she spoke the half goblin half elf hybrid Malory had seen the night before entered the room. "I do not believe you have had the pleasure of meeting Ivan. I sent him after you last night so he could bring you to me. He is quite the hunter as well. I am sure he would have no problem tracking your family down."
Eva was far from pleased with Malory's response. The conversation could have gone either way. Naturally, the witch was hoping she would be able to do things the easy way. The young woman was a monster hunter, right? Why did she seem so disinterested in getting rid of Maleficent.
Realizing she had failed to convince Malory, Eva sighed and gestured to the two cloaked figures behind Malory. "Take her." Without hesitation, one of the creatures reached out and covered Malory's mouth while the other assisted in pushing her though the portal. Eva looked around for a moment before stepping through the portal and allowing it to close behind her.
The portal opened into the grand hallway of a large estate. The home belonged to Eva, but it was often shared with the other members of her coven. The two figures held onto Malory as Eva entered behind them, black veils completely obscuring their faces. "I was hoping it would not come to this. I thought as a human you would understand my desire to rid this world of Maleficent. She is a plague."
The witch poured herself a glass of red wine and took a seat on the couch. "I have no interest in harming you, Malory. I only want you to answer a couple of questions for me." She motioned for the two creatures to move Malory to the couch opposite her. "Would you like a glass of wine?" Once Eva spoke, her servant moved her hand away from Malory's mouth.
[Happy belated New Year to you as well!]
You're very welcome and I think Kellan and Malory would be a wonderful match! I'm definitely curious as to how she'd react to finding out the Snow Queen is a real. If you like I can DM you and we can start discussing a first meeting.
(Thank you for friend request. I seen Spiderwick movie. It was cute. )
(Thank you. A friend helped me with my page. Sure I would love to write. Was there a type of story you wanted to go for or we free style it?)
(Greetings. Thank you for the friend invite. )
The young woman could tell Malory was not in the mood for company. Under any other circumstances she would have found the girls behavior rude. Fortunately for Malory, her new acquaintance knew all about the rough time the monster hunter was having. "I am sorry to bother you. My name is Eva Barlow." She looked around for a moment before continuing. "I understand that you have had a rough couple of days, but it is imperative that you come with me." Uninterested in wasting time, the witch abruptly ran her index finger in a downward motion creating a portal for the two of them. She expected Malory would be reluctant to go through and was fully prepared to resort to threats if needed. "I promise I will explain everything." If Eva seemed pressed for time, it was because she was. She knew at any moment that dreadful nightcrawler could show up. Malphas was the last thing she needed.
"I know you have met Maleficent and I can assume you are aware of the threat she poses to humans." Eva was trying to appeal to Malory while being truthful at the same time. She had no ill will towards Malory. What she did have was an insatiable desire to find out why Maleficent had let her go. What was so special about this girl? More importantly, could she use her to get to the so-called Mistress of all Evil?
"I only wish to talk for a short while. I will take you home once we are finished and you will never hear from me again.... if that is what you desire." The witch smiled hoping Malory would decide to do things the easy way.
[I think there is potential for a romantic relationship. I absolutely see the two as friends as well. Malory is beautiful, and Malphas certainly thinks so. That being said, she has had a rough couple of days, and he knows that and is just trying to help her life get back to normal. He does not have an issue with humans but is well aware most want nothing to do with him. That sounds like a good idea. Eva does not know Malory is more than human, but perhaps that is why Maleficent let her go? Malphas also would not know this, so he can help her figure it out!]
Merry x mas my beloved wife to be.
(I am ok. Work been hell at times. Some family drama. Hope you are doing ok.)
[Ah yes, I remember. I think where I was going with that was to have a side character of mine Eva Barlow either kidnap or convince Malory to talk to her. Eva despises Maleficent and wants her blood because she believes it is what is needed in order to perfect her youth potion. Turns out she is the one who sent Ivan after Malory at the nightclub, not Maleficent. She wanted Ivan to bring Malory in and see if she can use Malory against Mal. Eva has been spying on the villainess for years and has never seen a human leave Maleficent's residence alive. If Malory agrees to speak with Eva all this will be explained to her. She also still has that spell she can use to summon Malphas and Eva has no clue about that. Malory will have to decide whos side she is on. ;) We can continue with that if you want, or I am totally fine with starting something new!]
