Personal history

Toby was born into the Marshall family, yes, the one that owns the high end, famous shoe conglamerate. Her parents were incredibly wealthy but they found time around her schooling and extra curriculars to raise her in the family business. That is until she turned eight and started to turn to stone. You see, her parents are very magiphobic. They believe that the magic returning is the work of the devil and if their daughter was impacted, she must be touched by the devil. They paid for all possible discreet 'fixes' for her condition. She was put through exorcism, purification, prayer circles, and when none of that worked, a bit of the hair of the dog, they had the magical researchers [the ones who of course didn't practice] spend days and weeks examining her. She was, in short, mentally and physically abused for a period of about two years. The final straw for her was when they decided to send her to The Burning Tower. She heard them on the phone with a Mr. Sendon saying that if he couldn't 'cure' her, he could keep her. They wanted no part of her anymore.    Heart broken, she packed a few things, raided her mom's purse for cash, and ran. She lived on the streets of New Houston on her own for about a year. It wasn't easy, but she was making it work. Then she ran into Tony and her life changed again. At first he just fed her but when she was hurt over the small savings she had built up, he took her in, cared for her, and found her a place to fit in again. The Rookery would take her in on her terms, and they even contacted her parents and severed those ties permanently while giving her a place to live and regroup. Best of all, she loves it here.

Education

She had the finest prep school education until fourth grade and now she is enrolled at The Academy at The Rookery.

Accomplishments & Achievements

She was invited by Chef Igneia  to enroll in her cooking class.

Mental Trauma

Hearing her parents basically willing to sell her to anyone who would keep her existence a secret left some deep scars.

She is painfully bright and knows far more about business than would be expected for her age. She was always expected to grow up quickly and think on her feet.

Personality Characteristics
