Since I'm not planning on deleting my account (yet again), I thought it was about time I put this thread back in. It's the evolution of Marida Grady, my character from the Family Tree on the old AU site, from her humble beginnings as the Queen of Erebor in Middle-earth to the wife of a certain Raptor Handler on the tropical island of Isla Nublar on Earth (which is just fine, since that did not look like a Krakatoa type eruption, more like what Vesuvius did to Pompeii all those years ago).
Here is how she appeared when I first created her, as a dwarf woman orginally from the Blue Mountains (which I didn't change, though she's now of mixed heritage rather than a true dwarf woman):
After she had a falling out with Thorin Oakenshield after three and a half years of marriage and found that "time portal" in an abandoned section of Erebor which led her to Owen Grady of Jurassic World (you can read about it here), I changed her heritage around a bit to fit in more with her new world. She is now a half dwarf (her father and two brothers are still dwarven, but her mother hailed from Dale, who died in a freak accident when the cave her husband and two sons had been mining in was known to be unstable and collapsed right on top of her, which is why Marida's father took her to Erebor in the first place, to take her mind off what happened to her mother. Michaela has an alternate in another world where the opposite happened; she survived and her husband and three children perished, but more on that later) that looks more human but is still a little on the small side. This is how she appeared when she first arrived on Isla Nublar, almost a tasty morsel for the Raptor Squad if her current husband hadn't intervened (though she was still dressed in her nightgown at the time; the clothes she had to borrow from some of the female employees or visitors of Jurassic World that were about the same size):
Finally, her appearance during the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom that Blue the Raptor (she's the one with Owen in my current sig set which somebody made for me on the old AU site but haven't used in a while) warned her about:
This is the first time Marida has worn her hair down since arriving on Isla Nublar, probably because Blue was making such a racket that she didn't have time to put it back in a ponytail, so she threw on a headband instead. You can read about her latest adventure here.
One of these days, I'll have to get back to both My Life On Isla Nublar and The Lady Awakens (though I may have to rewatch the movies first).
I created Alternate Universe Michaela for a game on the Lord of the Rings Fanatics Plaza in the kingdom of Khazad-dum where characters had to help build a bird's nest. I'm guessing that AU Michaela got frustrated with finding the alternate versions of her family (minus Marida of course, who is no longer in Middle-earth) and went back to her own universe.
