Mary Heart

"Buckle up, Bitches. Nothing is as it seems."

Mary Elizabeth Constance De Villiers Heart, or just simply known as Mary Heart, is one of the experiments of the SSS and one of the main characters of Bonds: Retribution Prophecy.

Personality
Mary has a very psychotic personality. She is very egotistical, as she likes to hear the words "Yes, your majesty" and insists that "All ways are her ways!" She is also shown to be a rather childish character, even in the face of scientists, as she is incredibly impatient, irrationally sensitive, prone to temper tantrums and, as stated above, rather egotistical.

Like any insane person, she has huge uncontrollable mood swings, from content to enraged at a moment's notice. Her immediate solution to every problem is beheading, whether her roses have been planted white, she misses a shot in croquet or feels insulted in any way. Mary seems to enjoy her anger management problems in a way. She reminds Oliver at one point, "If I lose my temper, you lose your head," indicating that she is fully aware of her power, and wants everyone else to as well.

One of Mary's hobbies - besides ordering executions - is croquet; however, it is Wonderland croquet, where the balls are live hedgehogs and the mallets are flamingoes. This is presumably with the aim that the birds' blunt beaks should strike, but, as it's observed, it is complicated by the fact that they keep looking back up at the players- as well as the hedgehogs' tendency to scuttle away without waiting to be hit.

For much of her life, Mary used masks to hide her true self. It was the disguise of Cora Miller that sent her down a path of hiding her identity to further her position in the world.

Without her heart, Mary is pure evil, not showing any signs of love whatsoever and believing that love is weakness. She shows remorse over this upon regaining her heart.

Backstory
Mary was born into a wealthy family, and was treated as a princess all of her life. From her parents, who spoiled her rotten, to the servants in her house, and even her own classmates, who referred to her as 'The Queen of the Playground'. Overall, she lived a regal life style, but she wasn't necessarily psychotic or rude back then. At least, not until a certain event took place.

Mary started noticing how the servants in the mansion she lived in seemed to 'come and go'. She didn't know the exact answer for that, until one late night where she left her room and went to the attic to find put why that was the only place her parents didn't allow her to go in. As she opened the door, and saw what was inside, her whole world turned upside down.

Trigger warning

The attic was filled with dozens of naked servants. Some were strapped to what looked like an operating table. A few were chained to the wall. Others were crouched in small cages. One woman had her stomach slit open and her intestines wrapped around her waist like a cruel corset. Another woman's mouth was sown shut, after first having been filled with animal feces. A man had a hole drilled into his head with a stick inserted, presumably used to stir his brain. Most of them had been dead for a long time, and some were unfortunately not.

After witnessing this, Mary was much more than just simply flabbergasted. She thought that since her parents were both doctors that they were practically risky medical operations on their servants. But the inhumane condition that they were in made Mary realize that their reasons were less medical and purely sadistic.

After the realization, Mary complete broke down. She was laughing hysterically and crying at the same time; she completely broke in that moment. The ended the suffering of the servants who were alive by beheading them with a knife she got from the kitchen. She found joy in doing so. And after that moment, Mary was never the same.

Her parents were arrested after Mary told the story to the police, and they found the attic. Soon after, Mary was discovered by the SSS.
