Maggie's lived in the Folly all her life. Only daughter of Liam Donnelly and a DI whose name she never learned, Maggie's grown up knowing that taking care of the DIs is her job right along with the cafe. She doesn't mind when the DIs land in the cafe, unless they do so during the morning rush, then she gets a little testy.

Maggie grew up a ward of the town, raised by DIs who knew her parents until she was old enough to live on her own and run her shop. DIs always arrived in the town near to where the was at the time, which was disconcerting to a five year old, but it's something she's grown used to over time.

When she was 13, Maggie went searching through her old house and found a steamer trunk filled with journals, ones kept by all the Donnellys, going back for generations. She learned that Faelan was her ancesttor and that somehow, he'd cause what had happened to the town. Because of that, the town sends whomever stumbles onto it to her for explanations. Maggie hasn't shared this information with anyone else.

She also learned in those journals that she comes from a long line of witches (Faelan being the first of them) which offers her at least a little comfort that the strange things she can do have a reason. A hereditary witch, Maggie has control of the elements around her - earth, air, fire and water. She can use air to lift herself, and others, off the ground, open doors and windows, conjur water from the ground, start fires. She doesn't need a wand or cauldron - her magic is all mental magic - but she can't see into the past or future, she can'd see into the minds of others. She is, however, impervious to the elements as well. She's always barefoot and wearing a flowing dress of some sort - rain or sun or blizzard - and the heat or cold never affect her.

Mostly, Maggie is content with her life in Faelan's Folly. She has regulars to her business, nature around her, and Drop Ins that keep things interesting.
