Marie or also known as Bone-crusher, had cooking skills out of this world, feeding an entire neighborhood. If she tasted a new recipe, she would know every ingredient and would also re-create the dish to make it her own. Not a single soul would ever go hungry in her presence. She was a nurse, and those skills extended to friends and relatives alike. Marie was an investigative reporter always getting the details on all the stories. They called her Rona-Barrett after this.
