Who is Sandra Marling?

--- Quote from: Bad Alias on November 24, 2018, 02:26:20 AM ---Sure, but we have never seen a situation in which someone turned out to be a villain (defined as monster/black magic user), and Mouse didn't alert to them before Harry figured out why/how that person was a villain. I feel that it would be a cheap trick if Sandra turned out to be Marva, and Mouse didn't alert to her. Now if she was some sort of cutout, that would not bother me.
P.s. please correct me if I am wrong.

I was wrong. I'm reading White Night now and just recalled that Mouse doesn't alert on the Skavis. I haven't gotten to that part of the story yet, but doesn't Harry say something like Mouse must have figured that it would have endangered all the bystanders?
If Marling is from the spooky side of things, that same reasoning would explain why Mouse didn't alert on her.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this put the both of them on the revenge list of the Black Council. So when Molly is of age, they send in Sandra Marling to begin pushing her towards the dark side.

I don't think the Circle has much of an institutionalized "revenge list". Harry has screwed up a lot more of their projects than one pawn sorceror making deals with a Dragon, and even as of White Night Cowl was angry that Madrigal threw out a challenge to Harry because the chance to kill him wasn't worth the possible disruption of their work. Ariana held a grudge, but that was personal over Ortega's death, not about some half-insane anyway cutout.
If the Black Council targeted Molly, I think it more likely they had some idea of what she could become and wanted to subvert her early. Some of them probably have some form of foresight to counter Mab, Odin and Rashid - they'd practically have to, to have contended against the good(ish) powers for as long as they have with any degree of success.

There is a subplot of some kind I think, revolving around magical talent. The Fomor are disappearing some and someone was trying to kill them off. The Fomor have been painted as masters of biology, maybe they know something?

I agree - Mouse semms to only be able to pick up when someone has used black magic recently, not that they are a regular user of such magic (Mouse growls at Molly when Harry first meets her in PG because she had been using mind magic on her friends). But yes, Mouse absolutely does not pick up that Priscilla is the Skavis throughout WN.
@ SnarkKnight
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a result of foresight on their part either. Although it certainly seems like the Black Council has plans for Harry... Killing him doesn’t profit them yet.
@morriswalters
Where are the Fomor painted as masters of biology? They definitely seem to have weird anatomies but I always thought that was a result of their being exiled creatures of several pantheons interbreeding or something.

They are the ones who made the Denarian's "hounds" from book 5. They also made the Octokongs and modified their servitors from people. At least that's what I figured morriswalters was referring to.
