Magpie "Mags" de Riva
info
“Maybe I want to taste your heart... as you pull out your knives and punish the wicked with everything that's forged you into a master assassin. Maybe I want to see what it is that you're so afraid of that you wrap your kindness behind black leather and the impression of knives—and you hide your cruelty deeper than that.”
From their first appearance in Act 1 of The Lights Out Job, Magpie proves their willingness to stand up to authority, no matter how afraid they might actually be.
personality
Magpie is warm and personable, and often awkward. Their cunning plans might create as many problems as they solve, but they make a lot of friends this way, and they follow their own rules.
Some of the things they say are also ridiculously ominous, and their use of magic can be... concerning.
