world of the untold story Mariel Boatwright ***

Mariel Boatwright (Q., Máriël) is my oldest OC, but that wasn't always her name. (She didn't have a last name before she married Tristan Boatwright in 2014.) She wasn't my first OC* but she is the oldest who is still around.
Mariel wasn't even my first Lord of the Rings Mary Sue. That was an entirely different character also named Mariel, created c. April 2001. Mariel-Mariel walked into my brain in December of that year and said, "No, no, you've got everything wrong but my name" and the rest is history.
I've known Mariel longer than some of you have been alive and longer than many of my "irl" friends.
The "real" (or "canonical") Mariel appears in my paracosm, the rainy city. Every other version of her is an alternate universe.
In universe, Mariel is Celebrimbor↗'s daughter and Glorfindel's niece (on her mother's side). She spent most of the events of The Lord of the Rings under house arrest in Rivendell. ■

"The Crystal Needle" was a His Dark Materials fanfic that I started when I was ~13 years old. It was about a severed child survivor from Bolvangar on a quest to find a mythical needle that can stitch her and her dæmon back together.
Like Briar, I'm taking a concept I first dreamed up as a kid. ■
