Maggie the Younger
Rigil Kent:
I seem to recall Jim saying somewhere that Maggie was born of a half-turned Red Court vamp and a wizard, and that it would be weird if there wasn't something interesting/weird about her ... but naturally, I can't find that quote now.

Yeah, well, we have hints from the Zoo short story that she has talent. Isn't she supposed to go to
a school that is sort of like Hogwarts at some point according to Jim?
Conspiracy Theorist:
I would be more concerned with what the Leansidhe extracted as a promise from Margaret. If it was her first female issue, that would be Maggie. WOJ has that Lea did extract a promise and if it something like this, when Harry finds out he is going to want to kill Lea.
Another WOJ has it that Maggie will have magic, but not as we expect.
My guess? Lea has been looking for a successor and Maggie is her pick. She has form as this is exactly what she did with Margaret (Molly) Carpenter, and it may not be in anticipation of her death, but Mab’s that Lea is a backup to prevent Molly assuming the Winter Queens Mantle prematurely. The “Kill Molly” instruction in Battleground firmed that up in my mind, with Lara groomed as a backup, backup. Experience is required in the Winter Queen with the BAT coming and both Lea and Lara would make a much better Winter Queen than Molly for at least the next decade.

Perhaps, but Molly/Harry have shown that they can be a pretty formidable team, and I got the sense that Molly is going to try and do her best to get him out of that wedding.
Bad Alias:
The curse in Changes wouldn't have effected Maggie. That's why it was important that she was the youngest ramp.

I remember him saying implying that Susan being half turned would affect Maggie in some way. As is often the case, iirc, he didn't outright state it.

Mab is planning on having Lara marry the Winter Knight. The Winter Knight has been described as consort to the Queens.
