SECRETS: At the age of six, Mallory had a “starring” role in a series of TV advertisements for a cereal. It had a catchphrase that she heard hollered at her all the way through school.
PERSONALITY: Mallory is outgoing, and very much a welcoming individual. She’s honest and open with a very sharp sense of humour. Typically, she says things before she even realises she’s said it. Mallory is fun loving and confident enough that she’ll try most things at least once. She isn’t a troublemaker, but there are times when she finds herself in it. Creative, Mallory is often able to change things to suit her style or needs, or she finds inventive ways to solve her problems. She’s a loyal friend, the type to help someone as soon as they need a shoulder to cry on or a bed to crash in. However, Mallory isn’t a doormat and she won’t let herself be used. She’s got strength and a backbone which means she’ll stand up for herself or even anyone else who needs it. If pushed, she’ll push back, and while she’s never been in a fist fight, there have been times when she’s probably come close to it. Mallory has had her heart shattered before, but she’s slowly getting back out there now. She can be flirty without expecting it to go beyond a drink and a dance. She wraps herself up in a defensive layer, but she’s a romantic at heart and is a total sucker for a good love story. She’s wary of jumping in with both feet, but she knows that she wants love back in her life.

HISTORY: Masha fell in love with Lloyd when she moved to America for college. She was new, spoke English worse than she wrote it, but Masha had always dreamt of leaving Belarus and coming to America. She had spent her life feeling that she didn’t belong. That changed on the night she met Lloyd. The college kids had gone to a pizza place and it was there that Masha almost choked on a pizza crust and Lloyd smacked her on the back. No one knew then that it was a lifetime of happiness that awaited them, but it was. They ended up dating throughout college, Lloyd helping Masha learn the culture and history of the world she had longed to be a part of.

They married in the spring after Masha’s graduation, their son Trey arriving before the year was out. After Trey they had Mallory and Piper. Mallory was always interested in whatever anyone else was doing, getting into things she wasn’t supposed to. They baby-proofed for Piper but Mallory proofed for their middle child. Thankfully it was something she mostly grew out of, instead finding the things she enjoyed and thriving on them.

Of all the children, Mallory was the independent one. She didn’t follow the crowd, but she was always the first to sign up to something new, even if she didn’t stick with it. Lloyd wanted her to commit to something, especially after the drama classes led to the TV commercial which Mallory came to hate in the following years. Piper had ballet classes and Trey had football, but Mallory would flit from one thing to another for so many years. She grew bored of things very easily, and there were times when Lloyd and Masha wondered what would become of her if that was the outlook she always carried. She flitted from friendship group to friendship group, and her favourite things changed with the weather. Mallory was like that throughout most of her school days, but she was still a good student. Teachers would try to talk her into choosing their class for her future, but Mallory didn’t know what she wanted for her future. Trey wanted to play football and he had the skill for it, and Piper wanted to work with animals, but Mallory had no idea. She was scared of settling with something only to regret it by the time she was forty. It was an odd fear, and one teachers tried to talk her out of, but Mallory wasn’t easily talked out of anything.

By the time she graduated high school, Mallory just had an acceptance to a community college. Her plan was to get her credits and then decide after that. She worked in a pizza place, then in a bar, then back in a restaurant, and then back to a bar. She ultimately ended up as a filing clerk for her father’s best friend one summer and stuck with that for a while. It was then that she met Ronan, in the summer Mallory turned twenty. Ronan swept her off her feet in a whirlwind romance she hadn’t experienced since her first boyfriend at sixteen who was now in LA trying to become a rock star. Ronan was one of the few people Mallory met who didn’t mind that she didn’t have some plan for her life. He said it would come to pass when the time was right and not before.

Mallory moved in with Ronan after eighteen months of dating. He had a good apartment, a steady job working in the Health and Safety side of a construction firm, and loved her. Her old high school friends were just waiting for the ring on her finger to complete the story. He would encourage Mallory to try new things, ask around for anything that might interest her, and never minded when she quit something before it really kicked off. He always said that what will be, will be. During this time she dabbled in theatre with a friend from high school. Malory enjoyed a little bit of time in the spotlight, but she thrived backstage. It was just a hobby, something she got to enjoy with friends and something to give her a break from the day to day questions of what she would do with her life.

Mallory was still figuring out her dreams when Ronan – her boyfriend of six years by this point – suddenly broke up with her. He insisted that there wasn’t anyone else, that the spark had just died, but she didn’t believe it. She followed her gut (and him) and caught him going into the movies with his arms wrapped around some petite blonde with a California tan and a shrill laugh. Mallory never stuck around to find out what was happening. She called one of her best friends from high school who had moved away from New Mexico and packed her things into her car. Overnight, she left her life in Roswell and made the drive to New York City.

For the first few months she crashed on her friend’s couch. She looked for work but had no heart in applying for any of them. Mallory had been certain that her life was set in stone, that she had the man of her dreams and a future like her parent’s. It had all been shot out from under her and now she was on a couch, eating far too much take out and trying not to be a burden while her broken heart pieced itself back together.

One morning, she woke up and simply told her reflection that it was time to stop the wallowing, to stop feeling sorry for herself. She got a job in a bar before one of the regulars there got her to help last minute in a small theatre production a long way from Broadway. Mallory enjoyed being backstage again, and realised she could get paid to do this. Over the next three years she networked and with friends flaunting their connections she impressed the right people. Mallory got herself in as a back stage assistant and then as a production assistant when they lost one of them last minute during the busy winter season. In the same time she found her own apartment and began to build a life in the city. She never dated much, too afraid to get out there again, but she healed. She made friends who would always have her back and figured out how she wanted to live her life. She wanted the freedom to try new, wild things; like the weekend when she met someone on the Friday night who was into suspending camping, and the next day was with him and some more of her friends, sleeping over a fifty foot drop in some forest outside of the city. Mallory found who she was in those three years, though she hated phrasing it like that.

Lately, she’s been picking up brochures about night classes and college enrolments, not quite sure if it’s the path for her. She worked her way up to a decent paying job without a full college education, and Mallory is proud of that. Thoughts of classes and lessons at least keep her brain from suggesting a date, or letting her know when an attractive guy is around. Mallory is ready to take on the world, but she’s not entirely sure if she’s ready to let someone into her sewn together heart.
