.:Personality:. Priscilla is quick witted and defiant with a sharp tongue. She wants to help people but loathes being used and controlled which has basically been her state for most of her life. Many things scare her like being held prisoner and the visions she can't help but see. However, she keeps that fear locked inside and refuses to show it to anyone aside from those closest to her. She is a caring soul, wishing to help others and prevent the terrible things she sees. However, she's prone to fits of depression as so far things have not ended well; and, misfortune seems to follow her. But she tries to counter negativity with a sardonic humor and with fixating on the good things. She attempts to at least act cheerful and light hearted, appreciate those things that are right in front of her. Given her experiences she tends to keep others at a distance. But then she's not someone who needs a lot of friends. If there's a single person who tries to understand, she's content.
She is a fiercely brave woman, willing to do anything to protect those precious to her. Priscilla is also a whimsical creature who is used to being on the move rather than remaining in any one place. But her needs are always second. Once she had a family, she tried to set roots down and keep them all safe even if she does still have a taste for adventure. She is a very shrewd woman who can gather data quickly and act on her information. As much as she is whimsical, she is not indecisive, being used to making split second decisions for heists that could potentially mean the difference between life and death.
.:Special Skills:. second sight (seer), dexterous and nimble

.:Birthplace:. Enchanted Forest .:Family:. Jefferson Hatter (husband), Grace Hatter (daughter) .:Occupation:. thief, loving wife and mother, private detective/investigator .:History:. Priscilla did not have an easy childhood. Cursed with the second sight, misfortune seemed to follow her. She knew things other didn't and couldn't understand. Talking about it could cause her no small measure of grief. Her mother hated her ability and said she would have been better off if Priscilla was never born. Once at the peak of depression, she tried to strangle her daughter in her sleep. But perhaps it was mercy that stayed her hand. For whatever reason, she didn't finish the job. But her mother needed distance. And the only escape seemed to be suicide. Having never known her father, Priscilla was left alone in a world that was far from kind to orphans let alone seer orphans. In the end the only people that were willing to touch her were thieves where her extra source of information could potentially prove useful. (And thieves tended to be less superstitious.)
She grew up as little more than a tool. She was given shelter however poor and food however distasteful so long as she stole for her "caretakers". Priscilla changed hands several times; but, her circumstances never improved. Eventually she grew so sick of it all and ran away. But she had no trade, no skills besides thieving and her sight. She was every bit the prisoner she'd been before. But at least she stole on her own terms for her livelihood.
Priscilla met her husband on a heist. She disguised herself as a guest at a special ball in Camelot. (Her pretty dress had naturally been stolen.) After breaking into a treasure trove of sorts, preparing to make off with all manner of golden objects, another thief entered. Although she knew the ruse was likely to fail, she still pretended to be a guard hoping that by some miracle the newcomer would believe her and just leave. No such luck. But neither of them were supposed to be there. Before the real guards could arrive, she hauled the man with her out the window. There was something inherently likable about him, even though he'd ruined her scheme. Even though he was a stranger, she cared. She didn't want him to get hurt.
Once outside, Jefferson offered her a chance to journey inside his hat. Although she was typically distrustful of strangers, she agreed. She wasn't used to anyone offering her anything. And..She did possess an adventurous spirit. Perhaps her curiosity got the best of her. But she never did regret her decisions. One journey became two. Two became three; and, they just never seemed to stop. The two became partners in crime and fell madly in love. Eventually Jefferson proposed to her. Having already won her heart, she eagerly agreed to marry him, to have a proper family the likes of which she'd never known before.
She was content to continue their adventures until she became pregnant. Her childhood had been so wretched. Jefferson's hadn't been much better. She wanted a different life for their child, a stable and calm one with two loving parents. And so they settled down. Jefferson put away his hat; and, they gave birth to a wonderful daughter. Priscilla chose the name Grace because that little one was to be their saving grace. Because of her, they'd taste true family life. And Priscilla truly hoped, Grace would bring out the best in both of them.
For a time they were all happy. They seemed to have found their fairy tale ending. But good things never did seem to last. Not for Priscilla. Within two years, their finances were drained. Jefferson was tipped off about the Clock of Evermore's location. Priscilla tries to talk him out of stealing it. Surely, they could find some other way to support themselves. They had a daughter now, a daughter who needed both of them. There had to be some safer and more legal option. Crooked ways could hurt a child as much as the parents. Jefferson promised he wouldn't go; but, Priscilla knew him better than that. She feared the worst despite his promise.
When Priscilla found the hat missing, she waited a little bit and then went after him. She knew her husband could get into all sorts of trouble by himself in Wonderland. Fortunately, she gained the White Rabbit's help so she could rescue her husband from the March Hare. Jefferson was pleased to see her but insisted on getting his hat back. She knew that stubborn tone and went along with his plan, hoping everything would end well. Of course it did't. (How many things do?) Although Jefferson managed to retrieve his hat, while they were being chased, Priscilla was severely wounded by a guard's arrow. She was convinced this was the end for her. Jefferson wanted to go back and get the Clock of Evermore to give himself more time to help her. Priscilla wouldn't allow this. They chose this life. Grace didn't. She couldn't understand. One of them had to make it back to take care of her. And Priscilla was too weak. That person had to be Jefferson. She made Jefferson promise to never leave Grace.
Jefferson thought she died there in his arms. But unbeknownst to him, although she stopped breathing, she wasn't quite dead, just very close to it. The March Hare got to her in time and used the clock's magical properties to give himself additional time to stabilize her. When she came to, she was his prisoner as her husband had once been. She was trapped like that until the curse hit, dragging her from Wonderland. Then she believed herself to be Marigold Marie Madden, a private detective in Storybrooke. Having been assumed dead, even though Jefferson had his memories, he didn't think to look for her. And given that she was more isolated often being personally employed by the district attorney, he never saw her. When the curse broke and her memories came flooding back, she hoped the curse would have brought her beloved husband and daughter to Storybrooke as well. She wishes to reunite with them and take her fairy tale ending back.
