Character Info
Profile
Marigold "Goldie" Lockes is an activist (in many capacities including mutant rights) and self-proclaimed "flower child" born in the 60s. Proud of her plant-based mutant abilities, while no superhero she is known in some circles for her volunteer work using both healing powers as well as traditional nursing. She rarely takes credit for any of her efforts. She also considers herself the Caretaker of the garden around New York City's oldest tree, the Queen's Giant.

Personality
Compassionate:
One of Marigold's deepest qualities is compassion. She takes joy in the beauty of life and
people around her, and she cares very deeply about lives. Easing the suffering of others is
something she's more than happy to do, and she often seeks to raise people up to a level where they
can live their lives freely and happily. She genuinely cares when she says she does.
Humorous & Mischievous:
Goldie's got a sense of humor. From her childhood nickname of "Goldie" pairing with her last
name, to her often playing something straight-faced when she's joking. She loves to laugh, enjoys
harmless pranks and jokes, and loves to surprise people when they don't think she'd be the type to
swear. Catching people off guard to make them laugh is one of her favorite things.
Nurturing:
While Marigold has spent a lot of time raising plants, she's also served as a pillar of insight
and care in the lives of others. She's always there to offer advice, to be someone to cry on, and
help people grow from their own personal struggles and issues, be it relationships or mutant powers.
She often takes people under her wing, especially people with serious struggles, to serve as a
protector until they can fly on their own again. She takes serious delight in seeing growth and
change in others, especially if she can have a hand in it.
Philosophical:
Marigold's had a lot of late nights staring up at the stars and chatting with friends about
life, the universe, and meaning. She has a lot of views on the nature of love and life, compassion
and hatred, and putting good out into the world. She enjoys deep conversations and reflecting on
events and things that have happened, and she enjoys really engaging her brain and wrapping it
around new concepts and ideas.
Quirky:
Goldie's just a little weird. Her choice of clothing, her attitude, the objects she carries with
her, they all add up to make her a little bit distinctive. Not everyone carries a pouch full of
leaves around with them or twists a lot of flowers in their hair or still dresses a bit like the 60s
and 70s at times. She enjoys what she enjoys, though, and unabashedly expresses herself as she likes-
-even if it's not what anyone expects.
Character Sheet
Powers
Green Energy Drain:
In the same manner of usage as her healing, Marigold is able to sap energy from a target. While
use on plants may wilt or even kill them, non-plant based life forms are only weakened. In order to
use this ability, she needs to have close contact with someone (either touch or within five feet).
The effects are not painful, just tiring, as if the target hadn't gotten enough sleep last night or
just plain doesn't have the energy to do what it is they wish to. More extreme uses of this allows
her to safely knock a target unconscious without injuring them.
Green Healing:
Marigold can use the life energy from plants to heal injuries, either on herself or on others.
This involves access to plants of some sort as it requires borrowing or sapping entirely the life of
the plants. For smaller injuries, simply having access to the plants allows her to heal, but for
more serious injuries the plant's life force is drained entirely. Flowers and leaves can be kept on
her person as sort of 'batteries' for healing purposes, though they obviously are slowly losing life
over time and need to be replenished. She cannot regrow limbs, nor likely fully heal someone
mortally wounded, but her abilities are capable of stabilizing most injuries and healing most minor
ones (although it may still be sore!). She is also capable of using this to restore energy to
someone feeling weak or consciousness to someone who has been knocked out. To heal someone, she
needs to be within a close distance, no more than ten feet or so away.
Plant Life and Control:
With access to plants nearby, Marigold can grow and wilt plants at will. Anywhere that there is
an existing plant or a seed with the potential to grow (such as fruit), she can cause a plant to
grow from it. She can also use this life energy to control the way a plant grows: it could be to
shape vines to secure something, it could be to make a plant much bigger than it would grow
naturally, and she can make minor changes to a plant such as color or scent. She can also cause
plants to die, causing them to wilt or shrivel in whatever way comes naturally to them. Dead plants
cannot always be revived, though trees are an exception as the structure of a tree is still present
after it dies.
Reinvigorated Youth:
Marigold's powers with the life energy around plants have allowed her to prolong her youth/her
general lifespan. The continued use of her mutant powers have had the added effect of keeping her
looking (and feeling) like someone 15 years her junior.
Skills
Arts & Crafts:
Over the years, Goldie has had to create things for events. Signs, banners, and costumes have
all been things useful for protests and charity events. She has a little knowledge in a lot of
'crafty' areas. She's got great handwriting and knows how to space things well on signs, she can get
creative with arts and craft supplies to make a number of things. It's a lot of creatively
improvisational work to just use whatever's around her.
Nursing:
Marigold has a degree in nursing and has traveled all over serving as a nurse in both
professional and volunteer capacities. She stays up to date on medical practices so she can continue
working as a nurse, though she spends a lot of her actual time working for volunteer organizations
and nonprofits.
Organizing:
If there's one thing activism has taught her, it's logistics and organizational skills. She
knows how to handle a crowd, how to plan events, how to ensure events have safety precautions, and
how to delegate responsibilities. This also carries over to her day to day life--if she needs to,
she can keep things neat and organized, both in terms of scheduling or even just keeping things in
their proper place in her home.
Plant Knowledge:
Plants have always been important to Goldie. While her parents had raised her in a very
outdoorsy environment, when her mutant powers came to fruition, she had even more of a connection
with nature. She's learned a lot over the years, both based on her powers as well as pure knowledge
about plants--while she has no particular education degree, she's learned a lot about what plants
need, what plants are best located where in the world and why, some about humidity, and how sun and
shade affect plants. She knows a great number of plants by name and can recognize a lot of them by
sight. If you're ever lost in the woods and need to know if a plant's safe to eat--she'd be able to
tell you.
Resources
Network of Activists:
Goldie has spent many years advocating for the rights of all kinds of groups, including mutants.
This has given her a large group of people she's worked with over the years who are passionate about
causes and would be more than willing to help her on a project of some sort--especially if it
involves someone underserved in need of help. She's able to call in favors and ask for information
from those she might know.
Nursing Resources:
Having been a nurse for many years, Goldie has her own collection of bandages and supplies in
her home. She also has access to a few places in New York that she's worked and volunteered at that
could allow her access to other supplies or a location where she can safely treat an injured person
more privately.
Queen's Giant Garden:
The garden located around the largest and oldest tree in New York city is an odd and unique one.
For those paying attention, it reveals symbols of things that might be dangerous or people who might
be in need, often before events occur. This allows her to have a heads up on places to go or things
to look for in order to help others. The symbols might not always make sense, but they relate to
/something/.
Weaknesses
Bleeding Heart:
While not entirely naive, Marigold is very compassionate and she can't help but be taken in by a
story of someone's downtrodden life. If she can help, she likes to, and she'll give a lot to do what
she can for someone, sometimes at detriment to herself. Often, it puts her at risk for being played
by someone appealing to her good nature.
Plant Requirement:
Marigold is no miracle worker. In order to grow plants or use their energy for something, there
needs to be some form of plant life nearby. While if there isn't an existing plant she can use
seeds, if she's in an urban environment where there isn't any green life she's a lot more limited as
to what she can do. If she's indoors somewhere, it's even tougher. While she can get around this a
bit by carrying leaves and flowers with her to serve as batteries, her abilities are entirely
crippled without the presence of something green.
Queen's Giant Garden:
The garden surrounding the Queen's Giant in New York city is a place Marigold holds dear and
almost sacred. Given that, she is willing to fight and give up a lot to protect the location in
whatever way she can even if it involves her being hurt in the process. She's very protective of it,
perhaps even with her life. She believes it has a greater purpose than herself.
Respectful of Life:
Marigold values life. While she understands the life cycle of plants as fleeting and respects
what she's able to use plants for, she is even more respectful of the lives of people around her.
She will not kill, and she is very reluctant to physically harm people unless it seems like the only
option. Most of her "fighting" involves physically restraining or rendering someone unconscious.
