Marcia Halloway

Overview
(Her story takes place in the Jekyll and Hyde universe, sorta fan fiction-ish). Marcia Halloway was an ordinary London girl when she suddenly falls ill and becomes a completely different character referred to as 'Rat'.

Appearance
Marcia: dark, short orange-red hair; pale skin; button nose; favorite outfit is a blue gown; black stockings

Rat: scraped, dirty skin; muddied messy hair; toeless socks; long, filthy pink shirt that goes down to her knees

Background
Marcia is the only daughter of the Halloway family, who are good colleagues of Dr. Henry Jekyll. He and her father attended the same schools together. Marcia often refers to Jekyll as "Uncle Henry". But one day, she falls unexpectedly ill and slips into a coma-like trance with no likelyhood of awakening. Suddenly, she does awaken but has no memory of who or where she is. She espaces via an open window and disappears. She learns to hunt to eat, and she begins to prey on rats, which causes her to develop animal-like behavior. One night she encounters Edward Hyde. She tries to bite him when he approaches and he retaliates; he calls her a rat since she was surrounded by dozens of rat carcasses. 'Rat' follows Hyde back to Jekyll's lab, where Jekyll discovers her the following morning. He recognizes her as Marcia but knows he can't return her to her family in the condition she is in. So he keeps her in his lab trying to return her to normal, while Hyde still intends on treating her like dirt despite 'Rat' showing interest in him.

Personality
Marcia is bubbly and a little mischievous, but otherwise is very well-behaved. She loves to laugh and learn new things about science from Dr. Jekyll whenever he comes by. She even pretends to be sick just to see him since it was difficult for the doctor to just visit. But as 'Rat', she is very feral and animal-like, she crawls on all fours and tries to bite people. Despite being a child, anyone who sees her thinks of her as 'demented' or helpless, so they leave her be. That is why her encounter with Hyde is so unique and why she follows him.

Other/Extras
As Marcia, she has more of a bond with Jekyll; as Rat, she has more of a bond with Hyde. And while Hyde doesn't particularly care for her, he can relate to her position and chooses to "tolerate" her (and tolerate is used lightly).
