Margot seems a bit cold, but under her icy exterior is a young woman who has had her trust broken a few too many times. A certified cynic, she's very introverted and quiet, often so much so that you forget that she's there. She speaks less than she listens, and always keeps her eyes open for useful clues and information. Despite her intelligence, people tend to write her off as clueless, due to her love of fashion and her well-known messy breakup with Ilona Tobit and later Darius Scott in her late teens. While she doesn't often show it in public, she's witty and fun to speak with. Clever with a keen eye for detail.
A skilled multitasker, she'll often be working on a piece of embroidery while speaking. Very subtle with her body language.
Sewing, spying, charisma, design.
To expose the corruption of the government, but keep her head firmly attached to her neck.
Designing and sewing clothes, especially dresses, going for walks and attending balls. Reading, especially reading plays. Typing up her almost-weekly exposes.
A bit icy, keeps her emotions bottled up, sometimes can come off as snobby, hard to read. Pessimistic and cynical.
That she can't come to anyone with her problems because they'll judge her, and that Victory Court is split firmly between tools and people who don't want to be there.
The second and youngest child of two higher-ups in the government, Margot's parents fell ill and died when she was young. Her older sister Amira Linell took over raising her, and eventually joined the military. Margot took up sewing, and soon began to be sought out for both repairs and custom pieces. As Amira began to climb the ranks, she and Margot grew more distant, much to Margot's chagrin. She began to develop a close friendship and eventual romance with Ilona Tobit, a soldier around her age and a friend of Amira's before Ilona deserted the army and left to live in Creston. This heartbreak, along with growing feelings of loneliness and isolation made Margot draw more into herself. She had a brief, no-strings-attached relationship with Darius Scott while still hung up on Ilona (and while Darius was harboring feelings for Winifred Collins), but the two broke it off soon after. Margot began to see shifts in the people around her, and as she learned more about the workings of the higher government, she grew to dislike it even more than before. She took up writing political exposes under the pen name Annie Lewis (a take on her middle name and her grandmother's maiden name) and sending them to Creston to raise awareness of Twyllo's poor state.

Tends not to fight, but is adequate with a gun and her fists if need be.
Seamstress, secretly writes up articles on political corruption within Twyllo's government and hands them off to be smuggled into Creston.
Less interested in a rebellion and more in exposing the government's corruption, but eventually joins up after her sister is nearly killed in an attempt to scare Margot into silence.
Any and all shades of red.
