The Measuring Tape; Mary Poppins

[Mary Poppins]

MARY POPPINS

Practically perfect in every way...

I am Mary Poppins, no doubt you've heard of me... I tend to do things my way; with a spoonful of sugar and a hefty portion of (hopefully) wry wit. I take utmost pride in my appearance and don't tolerate nonsense from anyone. Deep down, however, I am deeply affectionate and I'll fight to the death for you.

Post for the Boys

Here's an example:

ATTICUS THE UMBRELLA

Never reserving judgement...

Relationships:
CHUM: ... and then you've got a lot to say...
ANIMAL FRIEND: ... Mary makes your heart so light.
IRRITATION: These children have been spoiled!
UMBRELLA:: When the day is grey and ordinary...

Mary is: Mary is technically my owner, but we don't stoop to such dynamics. We need each other and I will never stop telling her exactly what I think.
Mary thinks: Well, what can one say about Atticus? He is a trusty companion. Although, he does give his opinion very decidedly for a possession. Ultimately, I cannot deny that sometimes he is right...

SHERLOCK HOLMES

Everything in its place, per usual, Nanny...

Relationships:
JUST INTRODUCED: ...there's no need for dismay...
RESPECTED FRIEND: ...but you should use it carefully...
OTHER [PRUNING.... NANNY ]: No wonder that it's Mary that we love.
(we will fill in as the relationship moves forward)

Mary is: Ah Miss. Poppins, such an intriguing lady. She is a rather odd person, but then again she is from the future. Regardless of the fact that she is a nanny, I must say that is a good British woman. That is all I have to say on the matter at this point.
Mary thinks: Sherlock is an intrigue to me (mostly as to why we're friends), but I am admiring of his keen intellect and have genuinely grown that slightly-concealed Poppins affection for him. (Although, I would never tell him that!) I am inclined to lecture him on occasion on some personal choices...

DORIAN GRAY

Always a Pleasure

Relationships:
NEVER MET: When the cat has got your tongue...
ATTRACTION: ...rosy cheeks...
DISDAINED: I've arrived here just in time.

Mary is: I feel akin to Mary Poppins, she has a mysterious edge that I think we share. Something magical, if one is sentimental.
Mary thinks: Mr Gray seems most charming in person, but I sense there is something amiss about him... Although, the man certainly knows how to bestow a compliment.
