Because I'm not great at AUs when I don't know the fandom of the AU I'm incorporating... Have some morphing of her experiences to fit the AU :P
Mary was taken by the Fae in the middle of what was to be her final mission. She was an assassin, but the killing wasn't all it was cracked up to be. She had planned to leave it all behind. Not that her intent to leave mattered, when she faced the judgement of the Fae.
The Fae was supposed to be her partner. Her aid. Oh how blind she was. How slow. When she woke in the place of nightmares, it was obvious what was to happen: she was to pay for her crimes...
The things that happened to her were things she would rather not talk about - ever. Well, unless pressed (I'm planning to use a lot of Mary's Box Experiences for this). And she tries to hold to what little good is left in her, but it is difficult, since the Fae make it so easy for her to give into the Darkling that she has become.
She never expected to escape - or be freed - she isn't sure which. But she has and she looks around her and the world is at once entirely the same and entirely new. She is no longer what she was, but nor is she what she had hoped to become.
But then, she encountered one John Watson and later, his 'dead' friend Sherlock Holmes. And she thought that maybe - just maybe all that had happened to her had been just a nightmare that she had finally woken from...
Until one of the Fae, in the guise of Charles Augustus Magnussen, threatened to reveal all to John and torment Mary again. Mary decided to take matters into her own hands, but Sherlock had interrupted. She couldn't let the Fae know how much she cared for Sherlock, so in vain of doing the best to save everyone, she shot her friend. It all would have been fine, except her hand had the slightest tremble when she aimed....
She didn't have long. The Fae were winning again. She typed up her story. Everything that she had done before being captured and what she had been turned into during her time with the Fae....
And now, Sherlock knows at least about her life as an assassin. And John knows as well. The only way either of them will learn about the other life she's led, is if they read the A.G.R.A. Memory stick....
Mary's mask is her normal appearance - except when she passes into the full light of only the moon. If there is other light around, then the Mask still holds somewhat. When she is in the presence of only moonlight, her new form is revealed and she looks not unlike the Weeping Angels.
