Bloody Mary is a Fable seen in episode three and the secondary antagonist of The Wolf Among Us. Ruthless and violent, she is a powerful fighter working for the Crooked Man kills anyone who fails to pay their payment.
History[]
The legend of Bloody Mary originated in European folklore during the late Middle Ages. It was said she was the tormented spirit of the violent Queen Mary I of England, who earned the nickname "Bloody Mary" for burning hundreds of religious dissenters at the stake. Her spirit resided in mirrors, appearing when called into view by repeating her name three times. She would either show the face of the caller's future husband or wife or instead, display a skull, indicating they would die before marriage. The legend evolved over the years, with more modern versions of the story portraying her as a pale, beautiful, witch-like woman, wailing for her lost child and killing those who bring her forth.
Personality[]
Mary, although quite calculating, intelligent, manipulative, and methodical, is an absolute sadist with no moral qualms. She openly revels in combat and the pain and suffering of others, displaying sociopathic tendencies, such as begging Crane to disobey the Crooked Man's orders specifically so she could punish him. Her reputation has earned her the absolute fears of Dee, Beast, Jack (as he reveals if you go to the Lucky Pawn first), Johann, especially the Magic Mirror, and as the nightmare in Episode 4 reveals, even Bigby to a degree. She is taunting and enjoys toying with her enemies and making them suffer immensely before she kills them brutally. She is always calm, collected, and patient, but also has a twisted sense of humor, making unsettling quips and taunts about death, her job, Bigby, and even her boss, who understandably tolerates it.
While Mary possesses a very strong loyalty and protectiveness to her boss and possible father figure she has little or no regard for her colleagues. She did not intervene when Bigby savagely beat the Tweedles until Bigby killed Dum (or spared him whilst having him at his absolute mercy). She also will call Bigby "too pussy to ruin a Tweedles' day" if he spares Dum. She will also show amusement at Dum's death at that time.
