Personality

The years since the collapse of Atlanta have transformed Martha from an opinionated outcast to a hardened and introverted leader. Although outwardly modest, she enjoys being (nominally) in charge and considers the minor perks of her office to be the only reason anyone would ever do it. After all, she’s not getting paid.

Motivations

Enlightenment
The character's true calling is education and enlightenment, both their own and others'.
Individualism
The character believes that the rights of the individual hold the highest moral value.

History

Before Paragon attacked the city, she taught social studies at a middle class high school and wrote books on libertarian and Objectivist philosophy which she self-published on Amazon. She was very popular among her students because of her outspoken criticism of government, and in the first hours of the emergency these students remained with her, helping to rescue other students as well as faculty and staff. This school became the center of the refugee community that would eventually grow into Marthasville.

She has married twice since the fall of Atlanta; her first husband killed another man in a fight and was exiled. Her second husband, Daniel, is young, handsome, and quite obviously providing companionship to Martha as a way of securing his own life in Terminus. This seems to be an equitable relationship for both parties.

Powers and Abilities

None.
