History
Content warning: *deep breath* internalized fatphobia, body horror, alcoholism, domestic abuse, suicide
Maggie Bernard was a fat, gothy young woman who hated her body, a college student majoring in science. There were reasons for this beyond just being a fat girl with terrible friends and an abusive alcoholic mother, who was still raw with grief over her father's death: every night, she would transform into a horrifying acidic blob monster. After dissolving one of her friends, she became consumed with guilt and decided to atone by joining the LNH, but couldn't bring herself to do it.
After a failed suicide attempt, she encountered an incredibly talkative young man named Tyler Bridge. He helped pull her out of her depression somewhat. Then she turned into a blob and dissolved him too. She fell into another guilt/depression spiral, only to wake up in the morning and find Tyler sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast with her mother. He was a ghost, who had been dead to begin with.
Together they got wrapped up in a tangled and horrific murder mystery surrounding Maggie's dead friend, at the end of which they battled a demon. By now, Maggie had faced down her guilt and decided to join the Legion after all.
Her troubles were only beginning.
Net.Heroes On Parade
Maggie moved into the LNHQ with Tyler as her roommate. She immediately grew close to Lilly Paschall, AKA Groundswell, who like her struggled with involuntary transformations.
They were drawn into the group of new-ish net.heroes and fellow travelers who banded together to save Michette Duclos from the Terrible Ones. Attacked by a demonic fetus, Maggie defeated it by absorbing it into her blob form. On her next case, she used her transformations to go undercover in a freak show.
