Summary

Georgie is the delightfully feral no thoughts, head empty girl. Sometimes she's literally a raccoon, but most of the time she's a human surrounded by creatures. Magic did not come naturally to her, and most of her talents are in home economics: sewing is her favorite hobby, but she's also a good cook and baker.

Astral, as her cult leader, runs her life according to his whims. When she's not demonstrating her loyalty to him, she loves poetry and loves being read to (especially by Teresa) because she can't read herself. Mac is her darling who she introduces into this wacky world, for better or worse. She'll make him new clothes and make him food and love on him as best as she can.

Personality

Play-doh-brained Georgie is so silly and absorbs everything around her and is often overwhelmed by it all. No matter what, she is full of love and never quite knows what to do with it. Excitable and impulsive, she's fond of eloping when it's inconvenient, but will be there in someone's arms the second she realizes they could use a hug.

Georgie is autistic and happily lives an interdependent life out in the woods. She can't read, but she'll let others read to her while she does other things, like cook, clean, or sew for her polycule. As a result of the cult's brainwashing, she yields to whatever commands are given to her, but they're always good commands, so she's happy to do them and it's fine, of course.

Magic Powers

Everyone knows that Georgie can do terran magic. She's not the best at it, but she can make things float or hypnotize people into believing they're animals. Standard stuff for any member of the Connection. More advanced terran magic is beyond her. However, it takes an emergency for everyone to discover she is a powerful necromancer capable of bringing the dead back to life. She perceives the life magic found in living things as auras. Earth life has a green aura, and alien life has a red aura.

Appearance

Body Features

Tall and lanky, she regularly has to look down at the people around her. She has fairly broad shoulders that are very good for resting heads on. With her food pickiness and activity tending to the garden, she is strong but lean and fairly tan with freckles on her shoulders.

If she doesn't have a vaguely heart-shaped birthmark or mole on her cheek, she'll draw one on herself.

Physical quirks

Her favorite stims are making chewing/spitty sounds, chirping, and flapping her wrists. The stims change in shape and form depending on her mood, but at her happiest she's chirping and flapping and at her worst she's chewing on her cheek so hard it bleeds.

Clothing and Dress

She wears absolutely whatever she wants. Overalls, dresses, suits, jackets, pajamas, whatever she happens to make.

History

The current year is 1969.

Born on August 8th, 1948, Georgie Palmer was born without intention to an overwhelmed mother and a cop father. They struggled with their new screaming, crying, and wailing handful. In her desperation for relief, Georgie's mother tried to kill her. Several times, Georgie was placed at the top of the stairs for her to roll off of it. After that trick was found out, her dad stepped in. Georgie was kept at home and out of institutions and out of school. She didn't talk until she was seven.

By the time she was fifteen, she could talk, but her dad didn't like that she kept talking about being a woman and a man at the same time. Her dad started to regularly lock her out of the house. Well, fine. Georgie ran away and got picked up by Astral instead.

Embraced by the loving connection, she grows up extremely self-confident, happy, and a part of something wonderful. She loves her queen and king and will do everything she can for them. Especially her queen.

Through a haze of drug and meditation, they all discover her life's purpose: to play the role of midwife when Teresa succeeds in birthing the alien-human hybrid child who will bring the dawn of the new age.

Georgie interrupts fate and accidentally cuckolds Astral instead, impregnating Teresa with their own child. It does not go over well. Astral tries to imprison her in the stable as punishment, but she escapes after exploding Nut the horse.

Raccoon timeline

Sometimes she's just a raccoon shapeshifting girl, and her timeline is that she's cute and good.

Relationships

astral's head

Astral: god king

Georgie respects and fears him as a divine/magical authority. When he tests her, she tries her hardest to succeed. While she considers him her alien god, and despite his slobbering attentions, she does not consider him a true romantic interest. She loves him and worships him with sex magic, but he is not her lover.

teresa's head

Teresa: goddess queen

Georgie fell in love with Teresa at first sight. Teresa's beauty and self-assurance captivate her, and she loves to demonstrate her affection in as many ways as possible, especially making her pretty clothes. She thinks Teresa is the smartest and coolest person she's ever met.

mac's head

Mac: meatball

Georgie loves Mac with her whole heart. In the original story, she meets him when he's at his lowest, and she uses her confidence and unabashed queerness to get him out of his shell. She jumps at the opportunity to bring Mac to the Connection when his landlord kicks him out. Among other things, Georgie loves Mac's loyalty and other dog-like qualities, and she wants to help him succeed as a fellow acolyte to Astral's alien genius. He's her meatball.

Origin of Name

She's had multiple name shifts. Because of real life stuff, she couldn't have her first name anymore, then her second name was off the table. Had to go back to the drawing board for a cute unisex masculine-leaning name. Georgie means "earth worker" and considering she's a necromancer farmer, that sounds right.

"Rose" is a pretty name. She was going to be "Georgia Peach" but that is a little too cloying for it to be her fully name.
