Personality:
Margot is considered an oddball in her own family. While her own siblings typically wrestled and fought with each other, Margot is seen picking flowers and arranging them into a flower crown. This is how she bonds with another outcast in her family - her human sister, Wolf. She breaks the flower crown into a friendship bracelet for them both, showing that Margot has a kind side to her. That instead of violence and dominance associated with wolves, she has a preference for things normally associated with nature and peace. She also shows that she's not willing to judge others based on outside appearances, as she quickly accepts a human into her family.
However, Margot's kindness is warped by her family. While she claims that her parents made her feel like she had no choice, this doesn't stop Margot from ultimately betraying her human sister. Margot, Wolf, and their siblings endured a lot of physical training to make them all better hunters. This leads to Margot having great fighting skills, seen in the treetop fight that she and Wolf have where Margot manages to keep up with her former sister. She also has a bit of a competitive streak, as she seems determined to keep up with Wolf.
What Wolf didn't know is that her "family's" training was to turn her into challenging prey for them to catch and eat. Wolf's siblings turn on her immediately, but the biggest betrayal is Margot. When Wolf looks to her closest friend and sister, Margot claims that they're wolves and she's just a human... and then turns her teeth on her. Even though Margot acts a little uncertain, she still sides with her family against Wolf.
Despite how much Margot sides with her family, she doesn't seem to have a strong relationship with her parents. This is strongly seen in the fact that Margot doesn't react or comment on Wolf wearing her own mother's skin as a pelt. Margot also blames her parents for her actions against Wolf. And when Wolf comments that they were raised by monsters, Margot doesn't say anything in defense. She does have affection for her siblings, it seems, as she goes as far to go to Wolf for help, knowing that her former sister would want to kill her for Margot's attempted murder of Wolf.
She never actually apologizes for what she did to Wolf, but at least seems to know that she was in the wrong. She looks unhappy and doesn't defend herself whenever the topic gets brought up - and it gets brought up a lot. However, it doesn't seem to fluster Margot very much. She tries a few times during her mission with Wolf to try and befriend her again, which Wolf rejects each time. When Wolf calls her out, and tells her that no one ever cared for her, Margot tells her that she did, but was scared and didn't feel like she had any choice but to hunt Wolf. She then tells Wolf that she's glad she found a pack she deserves, meaning that even despite what she did, she still does care about her sister.
Despite everything, Margot still has a manipulative side to her that's completely independent of her parents. When Margot asks for Wolf's help to save her brother, she tells her it's to save him from scorpion monsters called Deathstalkers. The truth is that Margot was forced by Dr. Emilia to lead Wolf into a trap to use against Kipo. Margot keeps this lie up to the very end, where Wolf's speech gets through to her and she has a change of heart, telling her sister about the trap before they're captured. Unfortunately, it's too late and Wolf and her friends are captured. Margot is "cured" by Dr. Emilia, turning her and her brother back into normal wolves.
Abilities/Powers/Weaknesses & Warping: She has all the abilities of a normal wolf, which means being able to see in the dark, as well as a heightened sense of hearing and smelling. As for warping, she will sometimes catch the scent of her sister, Wolf, as well as sometimes hearing her voice.
Inventory: A flower bracelet
Writing Samples:
Margot's TDM post.
Waking up in Deerington was a jarring experience. For a moment that lasted way too long, Margot had her mind erased. She couldn't think, only driven by instincts that overwhelmed her, and everything that had made her Margot was gone.
But somehow, she was back. In a bed that wasn't hers, but that didn't matter.
"I'm... I'm back! Rupert, are you here?"
If she was here, her brother had to be here too. He was with her when she was "cured" anyways. She gently gets out of bed, careful not to make too much noise. She didn't know whose house this was, or if this was just another trap. Bitterly, she wonders if Dr. Emilia somehow brought her back, just to give her a taste of what she could do.
She'd love to sink her teeth right into Dr. Emilia's neck. What a horrible human woman. But she needed to find her brother, and then everything would be okay. It wouldn't matter where they ended up, because they'd be able to figure it out together. Maybe if she's lucky, she could find Wolf too and-
And do what? Wolf hated her. She'd never be able to be able to fix that relationship. It was too late to save Wolf from Dr. Emilia, and Margot wishes she could have. Just to do something right by her. But that opportunity was over... unless...
Wolf was here?
"... Wolf?" Margot almost whispers the name, afraid of a small child lunging in her direction. She doesn't put it past Wolf, after all. But she couldn't figure out anything staying here. She opens the door to her room, and steps out into her mysterious new home.
