Christina Jackson as Marpessa Decuir
Mar's the princess of a bootlegging empire, beloved by all and she loves them. But when her father forges a alliance with the maffia backing her into a corner to marry a man she hasn't seen since she was a baby, she runs away from the home she thought she loved more than anything and ends up in this hellscape on a miserable island across a ocean. And she's tried to convince herself she's happy with the choice she made giving up everything. Right when she's wondering if it would've been better to stay, she runs into that boy she used to play with when her father and his father worked together, that boy who clearly grew into something she doesn't know if the blood he's covered in is anything to go by.
A LITTLE EXTRA : credit goes to jurojin on Tenor bc I was this close to putting in media from The Pianist before I finally found this gorgeous GIF and halffacedwhiteboy on Tumblr for all they AMAZING Maybelle/Christina content! Lol and I couldn't help giving some of her range
so yea this has some Boardwalk Empire influence and since they go back to the US and I feel like most of Mar's story would be in the US you can even make this a Boardwalk Empire/Peaky Blinders crossover w Luca running shit in NY and NJ if you want
and yea since I can count the Peaky Blinders eps I seen on one hand I absolutely don't mind how AU you get!!
