Ebony Marlowe

Ebony Marlowe, Ms.

A protagonist of WIEA. Raised in an abusive household, she developed fawn syndrome at a young age, and was more or less content to go along with anything, seeking to be the mediator in any conflict and letting others walk over her.

"'It seems fine to me.' She said half-heartedly."

In the book, she takes a rather passive role, prefering to allow Jay or Vera come up with their theories then offer up her own- however, she appears to show a level of intelligence equal to Jay. She is one of the first to notice that something is wrong, but doesn't reveal her information to anyone until confronted.
She is quick to run away at the sight of physical violence, and is quick on her feet, able to make fast and calculated decisions in times of stress. Similarly to Jay, she is somewhat aware of her own skill, but prefers to not show it, only bringing it up in dire circumstances.
In the past, she was in a romantic relationship with Guinevere "Vera" Arianwen Rhys. This leads to a subtle change in her personality, in which she became more open about her thoughts and opinions, and allows her to improve on her own self-worth and abilities.

Mental characteristics

Sexuality

She doesn't really "get" sexuality as a concept. She understands in a vague concept how sexuality works, and that not everyone likes the same gender, but thinks of it more as personal preference, like how people love differently.
In terms of labels, Ebony is Panromantic and Demisexual.

Morality & Philosophy

Ebony has a very twisted concept of morality. She understands, objectively, what is wrong or right, but views it more as something that should be held up for society's sake. Someone's life is, to her, less important then the lives of those around her, and she has no issue killing or otherwise sacrificing people for what she considers to be important. Upon request, she can calculate moral rules into her plans, but will not inherently act upon moral ideas or philsophies unless asked to do so. This only counts for the physical trauma to someone, such as murder or physical harm. This does not apply to other forms of harm.
Ebony is openly optimistic, and sees the postive in most scenarios.

History

"...Are they dating?" Jay asks from his perch on the balcony. Torii snickers. "Duh."
They met in middle school, and became quick friends. Vera's insight let her see through Ebony, and, after a confrontation, is the first to ever learn about Ebony's home life. They become closer and closer, until they both, without their own knowledge, fell in love. Cue two years of pining and incredibly awkward flirting.
They became a couple rather suddenly- and neither would reveal what, exactly, happened. Vera maintains that Ebony, shy and graceful, asked her out while they were gardening, seemingly by accident. Before she could laugh it off, Vera accepted, and they went out together, leading to their confession. Ebony claims that Vera, during one of her random gift giving moments, blurted out that she thought Ebony was cute, leading to them awkwardly fumbling out confessions. Both seem incredibly plausible.
In terms of the book, Ebony and Vera rarely show much affection for each other, and don't appear to be dating until later on. This can be reasoned by Pittrice and Jay not remenbering that they were dating- more likely, however, is that they had some soft of diagreement within the hospital. In all likelihood Ebony must've wanted to keep Pittrice and Jay in the dark, and Vera wanted them to know. However, this rift is not visable to anyone but them, and they still seem quite close in the instances they do interact, clinging to each other at any oppurtinty they can. During the escape of the hosptial, Ebony and Vera do a back and forth on who is more important to survive, with both parties instisting the other is more important. At the escape, they appear closer then ever, and openly display their affection, much to the suprise of the others.
In the past, Ebony was pushed off a cliff by Pittrice, causing Vera to jump down with her. This leads to both of their demises.
