Birthday
3rd August, 1977
Occupation
Content Manager
Mara is from Germany and a native speaker of both English & German.
Mara is divorced, and has a daughter who was born in 2002. She likes tinkering around with her PC at home, works as a Content Manager and various other things for a temp agency, and has about a million and one interests that keep her busy.
Currently she is obsessed about Clone commandos and is something of an alien creatures expert at SW-Fans.Net, and the resident Mando'a speaker, having taught herself the language while supremely bored at work and looking for something meaningful to do. So: Su'cuy, burc'yase! Ratiin emuuri balac bah jorhaa'ir o'r Mando'a ti ash'ad; gar'olaro bah miit'ganaar ni. Vercopaani megin ori'sol adate ven jor'haai Mando'a rud'olar - bic jatne goyust bah hibirar.

All the way back in 2000 she got drawn into the roleplaying world of the then ezboard SWFans after following a "raging spammer" called GrandAdmiralThrawn who recruited her as Imperial Intelligence Director Isard. Along with her came several other members of her small SW Fanfic community, the most notable ones being Sniper Tondry and Darth Viscera.
That same year she created and led Imperial Intelligence as Isard, and helped found the Imperial Nexus.
She went on to create a plethora of characters of various affiliations, Nya Halcyon a.k.a. Delirion being her most notable character.
In 2001, together with Darth Rane and Jeseth Cloak she was responsible for creating and running the Dark Jedi group called the Black Hand in character as Delirion.
Later that same year, aided and abetted by Sanis Prent she developed the character of Sasseeri Reeouurra and helped lay the foundation to the Cizerack species as well as the Sector Rangers.
She became one of the Admins at SWfans in mid 2001. At that time she had got so addicted to roleplaying that she ditched her degree in favor of playing the 20 odd characters she ran (I don't recommend that to anyone - neither getting that addicted nor playing that many characters).
In mid 2002, after having a daughter whom she named after her main character, she left SWfans and continued roleplaying for another year or two elsewhere, before succumbing to a nasty case of writer's block that rendered her incapable of stringing two sensible words together in a written sentence. It might probably just have been an overdose of Star Wars - who knows.
In late January 2008, she returned to SWfans with the intention of lurking for a while and seeing what the future might bring, but got drawn in by the fact that things were structured so nicely now due to the reset, so she surprised herself by creating a character and being able to write after all. Since then she's not only created 4 other main characters and a group (the Black Bloods Pirates) but also a slew of other characters to support her main ones.
