  Appearance: She is not much over 5 feet in height,
  dainty and light on her feet. Her hair is long, fine
  and light brown. Her face is very pretty but an odd-
  ness about her expression, especially the eyes, stops
  most people noticing this easily. 
  Marie learnt her skills with scents from her mother.
  She also inherited her position as a trader in spices,
  scents and dyestuffs. When she gets her hands on
  any exotic ingredients, she delights in preparing per-
  fumes and incenses.
  She and her husband lived in the center of a busy
  city for eight years but were forced to flee because a
  girl died and suspicion fell, unfairly, on Marie. She
  had prepared some incense to burn in the girl's room
  which smelt awful when used (one of the ingredients
  had gone bad) so some of the city authorities wanted
  to try her for witchcraft.
  Marie's faerie inheritance goes back several genera-
  tions. Her great, great grandmother on her mother's
  side had an encounter with one of the fae in the for-
  est one mid-Summer. This was kept secret at the
  time and no hint of it has come down to Marie. It
  was obvious to Marie and the other townsfolk that
  her grandmother and her own mother looked young
  for their age but both died of disease before they
  were old enough for this to become anything suspi-
  cious. 
  She thinks herself a little better than many and was
  proud of her contacts with the richer and more pow-
  erful citizens of the city. Now, in the covenant, she
  plays up any contributions she makes to assisting the
  magi.  She can be vivacious given a little encourage-
  ment such as a couple of mugs of wine or some
  dance music. She is keen on her work in fits and
  starts, which is usually no problem though she has
  been known to have to buy bread when she has not
  got around to making any.
