“Mary Forthwrightington – Of Course That’s Not Her Real Name”

If Mary Forthwrightington tells you her name, it’s probably not true. But it’s definitely stylish.

Born Clash, on the weird and not entirely mainstream world of Trapia, she has been known by many aliases, many names as several BOLOs will attest.

What she is not, is boring.

In Clueless, Mary is back on board the Astra—and back in Tim Symbles’ life. Whether that’s a good thing is still up for debate.

With a style that cuts sharper than her wit, Mary can go from ballroom to barfight without breaking a heel. She’s the type of person who already knows what’s going on—because she set it in motion three moves ago. Need a fake ID, a black-market contact, or someone to sweet-talk an local official into letting you park somewhere you shouldn't? Mary’s your woman.

Except she doesn’t always stick around after the job's done. Or after the feelings get real.

Is she loyal? Absolutely—to her own complicated sense of right, wrong, and survival.

And if you think you can pin her down?

Good luck. Symbles has been trying for decades.

This week, we’re diving deep into the characters who keep Trunk Line weird, wild, and barely upright. Starting with the woman who might just be too smart to still be on the Astra… if she didn’t have her own reasons.
