Marcia Sinderson is a musician and reincarnation of Mizar. She was catapulted into stardom at age 16 with her single, "Don't Need Roots". She was murdered by her brother and parents when she was 20, after which Alcor the Dreambender helped her ghost get revenge and reenter the reincarnation cycle.[1]
Physical Description
In life, Marcia had long brown hair and dark eyes. She often dressed in brightly colored clothes.
After becoming a ghost, Marcia's form became grey and translucent. Her skin, hair and clothes had been burned into scraps, and her fingers, teeth and eyes had disappeared.
Her form gradually decayed as her soul did, and eventually she lost her human form entirely to become little more than an ashen cloud.
History
Life
Marcia was born in 3465 on a small town called Rend, on a floating island in the Californian Island Federation. Her mother, Medea Sinderson, had wanted to be an opera singer before she had Marcia, and enrolled her in singing classes. She enjoyed these classes, and quickly became very skilled for her age.
When Marcia was four, her father died and her mother remarried to a man called Ambrose Sinderson. Ambrose was a cultist who worshipped the minor knowledge demon Avalpur. He had a child with Medea called Isiah, who immediately got showered with love and affection while Marcia fell out of her mother's favor.
Medea began to get jealous of her daughter for being a talented singer, and withdrew her from singing lessons. Marcia continued to practice in private at her friend's houses and with her drama teacher, Ms Kindle. She clashed constantly with her family as a teenager, and ran away when she was 16.
Marcia traveled to Las Vegas, where she sang her own song, "Don't Need Roots" at a bar and ended up becoming famous. She quickly had more money and attention than she knew what to do with, and was having trouble dealing with past trauma from her childhood. She took to a self-destructive life of extravagant spending, nightly partying, and heavy drinking.
On one of these nights, she met Henrietta Rockit, an older musician and Henry reincarnation. They quickly became friends, and Henri tried to teach Marcia the life skills her parents had neglected to teach. She also convinced Marcia to see a therapist, and to cut down on her drinking.
After a few months, Marcia decided to reach out to her brother Isa, and let him know that she could help him escape their parents. Isa told his mother about this call, and Medea was furious to hear her estranged daughter attempting to 'steal' Isa away from her. She decided to kill Marcia.
One night, while Marcia was passed out in a bedroom of a house she was partying at, her family and members of Ambrose's cult kidnapped her, drove her into a nearby forest, and set her on fire to sacrifice her soul to Avalpur.
Afterlife
Avalpur was supposed to eat Marcia's soul so she would not form a ghost, but Alcor was furious when he felt the murder of a Mizar and obliterated Avalpur.
