Maggie
Harris
Appearance
Maggie Harris presents a striking figure, a blend of bygone elegance and the wear of time. At 53, her appearance suggests a life lived harder than her years. Her hair, a faded blonde, is meticulously styled in a fashion reminiscent of the 1950s and 60s, with curls and waves that frame her face in a timeless glamour. The toll of her chain-smoking habit is evident on her skin, which shows more wrinkles and signs of aging than one might expect for her age. Deep lines etch her face, especially around her mouth and eyes, evidence of years of drawing on cigarettes and squinting through smoke. Despite this, her makeup is always impeccably applied, favoring the bold styles of her favored eras - bright red lipstick and heavily lined eyes that contrast sharply with her pale, weathered skin.
Greed
Personality
001 The landlord of South Ashfield Heights carries an air of being somewhat nosy and slightly dotty, traits that often lead her tenants to underestimate her. This perception is partly due to her habit of involving herself in the personal affairs of her residents, frequently appearing unannounced with inquiries or comments that straddle the line between concern and intrusion. Her conversations often veer into rambling anecdotes from the past, punctuated with details about former tenants or obscure events from decades ago, creating an impression of scatterbrained forgetfulness. However, beneath this seemingly eccentric exterior lies a keen intelligence and astuteness that Maggie cleverly masks.
History
Mags presents a background story that is as intriguing as it is inconsistent. She claims to have become the landlord only recently, yet there are subtle hints and discrepancies that suggest a much longer and more complex history.
According to Maggie, she inherited South Ashfield Heights from a distant relative, a claim that she occasionally supports with stories of her youth, spent in the shadow of this relative who supposedly had no other heirs. She speaks of a life largely spent in other towns, only returning to take over the building "a few months." However, her extensive knowledge of the building's history and her familiarity with its every nook and cranny hint at a much deeper connection.
Curiously, Maggie's age is another point of contention. While she maintains she is 43, her appearance and certain anachronistic references she makes in her stories suggest someone older. She occasionally slips up, mentioning events or people from the building's past in a way that implies first-hand knowledge, yet these recollections often date back far longer than her claimed tenure as landlord.
The townspeople of the area surrounding South Ashfield Heights know surprisingly little about the building or Maggie. Some long-term residents recall the building being there for as long as they can remember, but mention a variety of different individuals associated with it over the years โ none of whom match Maggie's description. There are whispers, too, of the building having a somewhat mysterious or even troubled past, but details are foggy, and nobody seems to know Maggie's role in it.
Furthermore, Maggie has a habit of deflecting or charmingly steering conversations away when asked about her life before becoming the landlord. She often fills these discussions with tales of travel or references to distant relatives and friends, but these stories are riddled with inconsistencies and vague details, making it difficult to piece together a coherent timeline of her life.
