Editing Marie Durocher (section)

==Personality==
A very intense woman. Her confident and intimidating aura evokes images of wild predatory animals.<ref>More like a wild animal than a person, in many ways.  Here, in a bar, late at night, the group of them gathered, her slightly inebriated, tired self was akin to a tiger stretched out in a sunbeam.  The claws so easily protruded as she stretched. </ref> Even when relaxed she is quietly intimidating, but an angry Durocher strikes fear into the hearts of men.<ref>Raymond because Alexander could let word slip that he knew and had exploited it because of Ray.  Minor, but it was something, and a furious Durocher was something to behold.</ref>  She is deeply passionate about researching and dealing with large and scary Others<ref>Durocher was physically exhausted but mentally, she tended to come away from encounters with the scariest and largest Others energized, wanting more.  Just a week or two off of her latest hunt, she was willing and wanting to track down this Blue Heron Throne god, while Alexander did the legwork to bring them all together.  She would sleep only with the help of drugs, drink, and more physical exhaustion, and she would wake interested and alert, wanting to research.</ref> but shows disinterest for social pleasantries, politics and those she considers lesser than her. When dealing with friends and equals, however, she shows a more sociable and playful side, and is loyal to her close friends. Durocher respects strength.   
===Relationships===
Durocher is a permanent teacher at the [[Blue Heron Institute]].<ref name=":0">>SAY “She’s fine.  Engaged to Ulysse, who’s with Amine.  They’re under Durocher.”<br>
Ray: Yes, yes.  I know them.  Fine.<br>[...]<br>
>SAY “Afghanistan, apparently.  There’s a reason the Devouring Song is so tenacious.”<br>
Ray: Then bring Durocher.<br>
>SAY “Durocher scares me.  The weakest practice I’ve seen her use made car alarms go off two blocks away.”<br>
Ray: We’ll need her kind of strength for this.<br>
>SAY “We?”<br>
Ray: All hands on deck.  Let’s do this right.  That means bringing 
Durocher and her pre-human divinities.  Talk to Alexander while you’re 
at it.  The school is a resource we maintain for just this reason.  
We’ll use it.<br>
>SAY “They’ll want a piece of the pie.”<br>
Ray: A small piece of something this big is enough.  I’m cutting this
 lesson short and logging off.  Call Durocher and the other school 
staff.<br>

She seems to intimidate most of the Practitioners involved in the [[Blue Heron Institute]],<ref name=":1">Mrs. Durocher seemed to scare the pants off of people.  With those dark eyes with chewed up meaty things swimming in them, she scared Verona a bit.  - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/09/01 Excerpt] from [[Leaving a Mark 4.5]]</ref> including [[Zed]].<ref>[[Out on a Limb]] bonus - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/08/13/3-9-spoilers-sunnyday-logs/ SunnyDay Logs]</ref>

At one point [[Charles Abrams|Charles]] was briefly in love with her.<ref>“Durocher was… she wasn’t anything exceedingly remarkable in the looks department, but she was so driven and excited by what she did that I think they all took turns falling in love with her.  I did, even.  But being beside her means having your feet held to the fire.  The fire in this case is monsters most practitioners won’t get within miles of.  She’s teaching?”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/10/20/ Excerpt] from [[Back Away 5.5]]</ref>
