About the Character- -

Name: Marilyn Judi Baker.
Age: 17 years young.
Gender: Female.
Year: 6th year.
Face Claim: Shiri Appleby.

Canon or Original? Original.

Facial Properties: Marilyn has naturally dark brown eyes that have a distinct almond shape. They are very pretty when you look at them from a distance. She always says that the first thing you notice about her is her eyes. Her nose and cheeks are average, just like any other girl’s. With long, choppy, dark brown hair, a lot of people are constantly telling her how pretty she is. She has side-bangs that cover her left eye.
Physique: Marilyn is relatively short for a girl her age - only five feet, four inches. Her parents are always telling her how she should be growing, and even her doctor has said that there is something wrong with being so “unnaturally short.” She is average in her weight, weighing in at 127.3 pounds. You could call her curvy, if you wanted to, but only in certain places.

Personality: Marilyn can be patient when she wants to be. If there is a long line with a three-hour wait to get into a roller coaster ride, don’t count on her to be patient. If there is a long line with a three-hour wait to get into a brand-new beauty salon, she will be patient and she will wait in that line. She can wait for a long time without a response from anybody, and she will be okay with that. She won’t rush you to do something, even if the deadline is two hours and you haven’t even started writing yet.

She is a true friend: if you’re one of her best friends, or just a friend, she will be there with you through thick and thin. Marilyn will call you at any given time and on any given day just to talk with you, she will speak everything in her mind to you because you are one of her friends, and she will support you even if she doesn’t really believe in the cause. She will also be with you whenever you need help. She will not make excuses if she has other plans: she will tell the truth plainly.

Marilyn is very weak and soft. If you tell her something and she has other ideas, she will not tell you her opinion; she’ll just say, “Okay.” She is very ineffective, when she tells a group of people who do not have her opinions that their opinions are wrong, they don’t listen to her at all. In fact, they don’t even hear her. Even her voice is quite soft. She lacks strength in a lot of things, just because she is not confident enough. She also can’t do work well under pressure: if you just say, “Get a move on it, Marilyn,” she will get nervous immediately.

She is also very naïve. If you tell her that Godzilla is about to attack Hogwarts, she will believe you and will be packing up to leave the castle right around the time that you say that you were just kidding. She certainly lacks a knowledge of information. She is very trusting when it comes to information-giving. She’ll believe anything she hears, reads, or sees. She is one of the biggest suckers you will ever meet.

History: Born on January 23, 1960, Marilyn Judi Baker was bestowed to Willamena (Willa for short) and Norbert Baker. Her parents were loving and caring, nice but stern. Willa was the witch of the family, She grew up in the heart of London with Willa, Norbert, and her two older brothers, John and Michael. (John was the older one, in his 5th year at Hogwarts when Marilyn was born, while Michael was in his 3rd year.) When John graduated from Hogwarts and when Marilyn was three years old, the family of five moved to a beautiful town in the county of Hampshire called Burley: the cause was that London “was too busy.” Norbert had been whining that he hated never being able to sleep at night because of all the noise, so immediately Willa listened to his constant complaining, packed up the family and found a good place to live. Apparently there was only one other wizarding family in the town, and the Baker family and the wizarding family would be neighbors.

Soon after they settled down in their new house, the Bakers met the wizarding family - the Hudsons. The Hudsons had three daughters and one son. Two of the girls were twins, and the other girl and the boy were toddlers right around Marilyn’s age. The twin girls were named Barbara and Becca, the toddler girl Helene, and the toddler boy, Alexander. Barbara and Becca went to Hogwarts and were in their 7th year. Helene, Alexander, and Marilyn quickly became friends, and spent most of their time together. When Marilyn found out that the Hudsons had a guinea pig, she had to have one too. So she got one. When she found out that the younger Hudsons were going to the local preschool, she had to go to it too. So she did. As she grew older this pattern continued, until Helene’s and Marilyn’s rooms were decorated exactly alike. That was when her parents couldn’t take 8 requests a day.

When Marilyn first experienced magic was when John came home from London one summer. Marilyn was ten and John was twenty-eight. John had worked in Gringotts for the last few years and had gotten married. John showed Marilyn a good spell that she could use if she ever got in a fight with Helene -- the Hair-Thickening Charm. “Cast it on her arms, and get ready for a good laugh.” She tried it on John and, surprisingly, it worked. But she would never, ever get in a fight with Helene, though - or at least that’s what she thought. Soon after John went back to London, they did have a fight about which House they wanted to be in. They argued and argued and argued, until they couldn’t stand to even hear each others’ names. That was the end of their friendship for a while. Meanwhile, a romance was blooming between Marilyn and Alexander. Right before Helene, Alexander, and Marilyn got their letters to Hogwarts. Soon Alexander and Marilyn were “dating” -- if you could call it that. They only held hands once during their four-month-long affair, and that was the most. She cheated on him with another boy named Greg, who was the love interest of most of the girls in the class.

Marilyn got her letter to Hogwarts two weeks after Alexander and Marilyn “broke up.” She was so excited that when she packed her things, she almost forgot to bring her clothes. A lot of her clothes had to be sent in packages by her mother, along with plenty of sweets and hair supplies. When Marilyn saw the castle, she was amazed and shocked. She had not imagined it to be so big -- she just imagined a castle, not the Hogwarts castle. When Barbara and Becca had told her about how big the castle was, she hadn’t believed them. They had said that it was as big as the lake right next to it, and the lake was half the size of the ocean. They had been exaggerating a little bit, but what they said certainly seemed true.

Sample Post: It looked so appetizing, so delicious, so tasty. The sign below the large box read, 'MILK CHOCOLATE CHERRY CORDIALS.' Cherry cordials were her favorite ... and dipped in chocolate? Wonderful. They must taste yummy, she thought hungrily as her stomach grumbled. Emme's eyes widened as she moved to her left. Honey-colored toffee! Her stomach groaned again, a tiny bit louder this time, as if to say, Why don't you just get some chocolate already? She shook her head, very slightly, trying to get the thought out of her head. Once more, she moved to the left, where a short, squat man was stirring something that looked like fudge. She blinked, then smelled the air. It was so great, Honeydukes was. She peered to her left - and there they were - eclairs. Eclairs were her favorite sweet of all - if you didn't count Chocolate Frogs, Chocoballs, Licorice Wands, and Pumpkin Pasties, all of which in her opinion were the best. Emme strode back over to the milk chocolate cherry cordials, and quickly grabbed a box from the larger containment. She moved to her left, grabbing toffee, eclairs, and anything else she could get her hands on. Soon her arms were full of candy. She managed to stumble to the main counter without dropping anything. "I'll take all of this," she said quickly. Emme dropped all the candy on the counter, then rummaged around in her pocket for the money. "That'll be ..." The witch counted the sweets carefully. "Eleven Sickles, fourteen Knuts." Emme paid for it, and took the average-sized shopping bag that usually couldn't hold that many sweets but had an Undetectable Extension Charm put on it. She moved to leave the store, but instead bumped into something. Something large. And so she fell over.

"Oh," she said, quite embarrassed. All of the sweets she had gotten spilled out of the bag. She hastily got off her back and onto her knees, then tried to get the candies back in the shopping bag. Some had skidded under displays and others, in other boxes full of candy. She grabbed everything that she could on the floor, her face bright red. Usually she didn't get embarrassed this easily, but today ... Today was not her day for being as graceful as possible. "Sorry, sorry," she said as she looked up at the solid figure in front of her. The feet of the person she had bumped into were very large compared to her own, she noticed as she knelt at his or her feet.

"I'm really, really sorry." She stood up hesitantly, picking up the bag too. "I'm really, really, really sorry. Did I hurt you? Oh no, I did! I'm so sorry." She repeated the words 'I'm sorry' many more times, then winded off into a short lecture about how many times she had bumped into people. Mostly it was just a composure of 'I'm sorry' and random babble. She babbled endlessly when she was embarrassed, and this string of babble would almost never end, she thought.
