F. Snicket - Tumblr Posts
(This picture inspired me, although my idea has very little in common with it. In an AU where Moxie is psychic, and, since Moxie and Lemony being cousins is an idea I like, is the cousin of the Snicket siblings (with Moxie being F. Snicket's daughter), Lemony and Moxie accidentally forged a psychic connection by being excellent associates to one another.)
When Lemony was alive, he and Moxie looked very similar to one another, except for Moxie's silvery-blonde hair. Also, they share a birthdate, and thus, a birthday. That birthday is February 29.
Moxie is impossible to photograph well, similar to her prime associate.
When someone a psychic forges a connection to dies, their hair turns the color that their connection-mate's was in life. So Moxie now has dark hair.
Moxie's legal name is Moxie Absinthe Mallahan-Snicket, although she rarely uses her full name.
After Lemony died Moxie's hat got ruined. He told her that she should use his hat, "since he would never have reason to use it again." Giving someone still living an item that belonged to you in life is how you tether yourself to them, which L. did not know, as he was a newborn ghost then.
Someone who is a tether does not age past the point at which they become tethered. So Moxie is forever 13.
Moxie decided to cut her hair shorter after the funeral, as a sign that her life was forever changed, though the change in color was enough proof of that. She definitely inherited the Snicket Drama Gene.
Lemony accidentally possessed Moxie once. She told him that he could possess her whenever she was not working on an article as long as he made sure that her younger sister was safe.
Moxie's younger sister was named Adrianna-Clarissa Alizarin Mallahan-Snicket, in defiance of the Mallahan family naming traditions. She normally goes by A.C. or Rian, because her first name is too fancy for casual use and much too long for emergencies. Rian is a full decade younger than her sister, but looks older, not being frozen at 13.
F. Snicket's name is Fiona. She did not change it when she married Mr. Mischance Mallahan (who was nicknamed Chance). First names that start with the letter 'M' are traditional for the Mallahans.
The Mallahans were once a large extended family, but in the time from Moxie's birth until the time of this story they have dwindled to Moxie and Mr. Mallahan and A.C. because everyone else met their demise in various arsons and chose to move on to the afterlife.
Due to Moxie and Lemony's tendency to switch out who is in charge of the body as they please, even people who are in the know tend to be ambivalent as to whether Lemony is an actual ghost or merely a split personality strongly based off of someone who M. knew. Anyone who knew him knows that Lemony is a real ghost, though, as he completely lacks the monotone that Moxie always speaks in.
Moxie and Jacques do not talk about their journalistic opinions of each other, as there is emotional bleed-over between M. and L. Aside from that, Moxie genuinely respects J. for doing his best as an older brother, being an older sister under extreme circumstances for her own part. J. disapproves of Moxie's tendency to risk her well-being for the truth but cannot say anything about it to her without being called out as a hypocrite.
Moxie joined VFD after dealing with Hangfire. She does not regret killing a man who killed her best friend prime associate slash cousin.
Kit Snicket is deeply freaked out by this whole situation, but is doing her best to hide it. She spent her family time watching A.C. and teaching her things that her teachers will not appreciate but that a young child can not harm themselves with instead, until A.C became old enough for proper training.
Moxie always signs her correspondence with a part of her name or an alias derived from it, while Lemony does the same with his name, to avoid confusion.
Moxie swore off color in her (personal, non-disguise) wardrobe after her father died on her 13th birthday. The hat is an exception.
Moxie can do astral projection. She used to use it to force her body to take a nap, thus short-circuiting her chronic insomnia.
Author's Note: I have edited a few things, and added others. "Michael" was only a placeholder until I could find Mr. Mallahan's legal name. There is a fun story about supernatural children with magical colored fire that you could read for more information regarding tethers, why ghosts need them to stay sane, and the consequences of being one at https://archiveofourown.org/works/9878324?view_full_work=true, the mechanics of how bodies work for ghosts are different, though, as real ghosts are naturally non-corporeal.
With all due respect,
Adrianne Derr.
(Miss Derr is a Snicket-verse OC of mine, who I will write more about later. Most of my ATWQ and ASOUE posts will be primarily from her perspective.)
