Mara Jeong was originally Martha Jeong, but found her birth name boring and provincial. When she turned 18 she changed it, distanced herself from her conservative parents in Texas, and moved to New York City where she tried to make it as a fashion model. She wasn't photogenic enough, however, and was unable to get her foot in the door. She then thought she might try acting, but that didn't pan out either, though not for lack of passion or effort on her part. She wasn't a melancholy sort, nor was she especially doom-eager, but she did enjoy the pleasures of the flesh, including the occasional fling with narcotics. One night, at a party, she went a little too far and found herself dying in a hospital of an overdose.
Klepoth the Lammasu never could understand the difference between good an evil in the abstract sense of their fellow Elohim. To her, a thing was beautiful or it was not. When humanity arose out of the maelstrom of life, death, and violence that was creation she saw they were inherently beautiful and capable of even more. A sublime ocean that she could spend an eternity enjoying. She fell because the silence of the creator, and even worse the bureaucratic fanaticism of her fellows, was ugly. Artless, inelegant, wasteful. She was never a warrior. She was never even a passionate partisan of Lucifer's designs. She was merely choosing what seemed right in the moment, what was fun, and what was aesthetic.
Her time in the Abyss was as hellish as you might imagine but upon her escape she was drawn to the final breaths of a young human in New Eden which rose out of her like fragrant incense. She went into this body and took the dying embers of its soul into her own hunger and promised to protect and honor it.
