Magnolia
- Single Mom
- Private Investigator
- Great at Accents
- Cop Daughter
Magnolia Louisa Jones was born to local detective and fallen police officer Nathaniel Jones and dutiful primary school teacher Abigail Jones. She is the girl half of a set of fraternal twins. Her family life was a rich and full one, until her father's murder while on duty when she was twelve, and things spiraled from that point forward. Her mother went almost catatonic, leaving Magnolia and her brother to manage most of their lives on their own.
Magnolia shined her way through school, landing an almost perfect GPA that landed her many college offers, but without the financial support needed to accept those offers, she ended up at local community college and then completed an online degree with University of Washington for a degree in criminal justice. She had hoped to transfer into law school, but she ended up pregnant and in an early marriage with Edgar Poplar.
She did the stay-at-home mom thing for two years before she filed for divorce. Relatives were shocked by the move, but they had no idea the amount of abuse she had endured by her husband -- the invisible emotional trauma. Her brother came to save her and his niece from the abuse, and hid them away while she filed for divorce. With the divorce was also a restraining order that forbade Edgar from getting anywhere near his ex-wife and daughter.
It was during this time that Magnolia experienced the Glimmer for the first time. She was able to call objects to her -- small and short distanced at first. Then greater and larger over time. She began to hear whispers from those around her -- their minds touching hers. Soon enough, she was afraid she was losing her mind only to realize she has been surrounded by this most of her life.
When her daughter was three, Magnolia started working as a receptionist at a local PI -- grizzled and aged C.J. Winde. She started taking appointments for him, and then he saw her potential, and started to train her up as his replacement as he was close to retirement. She started to work alongside C.J. and then on her own jobs, and soon enough she was pulling in her own clients.
Magnolia's daughter turned five and entered kindergarten, which gave Magnolia a lot more time to work on her career as a PI and to find herself a place within the Veil.
This short blond is quite spunky!
