Bloody Mary - Courtney Haddock (Patreon)

First new post of the new year, and it's the last supporting cast member of Bloody Mary (for now). I'd like to introduce you to Mary's fellow student and "frenemy", Courtney Haddock.

Student Body President, Honor Role, Type A and Teacher’s pet, Courtney is Mary’s “Frenemy” in high school. While relatively on good terms, Courtney disapproves of Mary’s affinity for scaring others and often tattles on her, while Mary enjoys teasing Courtney about how uptight she is and needing to loosen up. Courtney often finds herself entangled in Mary’s double life because she tutors Mary to improve her lackluster grades, and as such finds herself often in a position of being rescued by Bloody Mary. Eventually, Mary helps Courtney stand up to her conservative family when she comes out as gay and helps her work up the courage to ask out her crush.

So Courtney isn't really based on any existing comic book character nor fills the roll of any. I just thought it would be good to give Mary a foil in her high school life- someone who is more disciplined and disapproving to Mary's free spirit and love for scaring others. We all know the type from when we were in high school- the high overachievers who feel their life is already set up for them, yet long for the freedom other students their age have. Anyone, I thought it would be fun if Mary and Courtney started off as- well, let's call them "frenemies", and eventually grow into genuine friends as they help each other in their lives, with Courtney helping Mary in school and Mary helping Courtney find freedom.

Anyway, hope you guys like this last new supporting Bloody Mary character for now! Let us know what you think with a comment below, and which superhero you would like to have a supporting cast next for.
