Mara MacKenzie

Mara Alexandra Mackenzie is the oldest child of Crissy and Andrew MacKenzie, and one of the main protaganists of the series.

Early Life
Mara Alexandra Mackenzie was born on November 16th in 1997 to Crissy and Andrew MacKenzie. She is their first born child, and the twin sister of Brodie Mackenzie. She and her family lived in Sterling, Scotland for much of her life. Her father was a store clerk while her mother was a waitress in a restaurant. In 2009, the MacKenzie family moved to the United States, and in 2011, her family took in a foster kid named Cameron Lee. Her father passed away in 2013. She graduated from high school in 2015 alongside her brother, and they both took up a scholarship offer to study physical therapy in Denver, the city they moved to in 2009.

The Start of The Group Home
in 2016, a year after Mara and Brodie turned 18, Crissy and Hamish moved back to Scotland, leaving Brodie and Mara as owners of the family's house. Soon after, they started sending out offers to let any college and foster kids live in their house for free. The first to move in was model Emilie Thomas, who was struggling for work at the time, but soon found work. The latest resident of the House is Miles Edwards, who moved in to be with his girlfriend, Daniella Wolfe.

Auld Lang Syne
Mara had been running the Group Home for 3 years by the time Christmas in 2019 came around. She prepared dinner for the group house's residents, and later watched 'Die Hard' with them.

Mara is the central character in Episode 4.

Personality
Mara has a strong maternal instinct and a desire to aid others, which indirectly led to her studies into physical therapy. She is a warm and caring person most of the time. She can be impatient, stubborn, and callous, though it is unlikely.

Appearance
Mara is a fairly well built woman. She has light grey-brown hair with slightly darker streaks. Her hair falls down to the midpoint of her back, and is often up in a bun or ponytail. She has long arms, thin fingers, and her legs are well muscled. Her right leg is often in a knee brace due to an accident that caused permanent damage to her knee.

Close Family
Brodie MacKenzie= Brodie Mackenzie is Mara's twin brother. Her relationship with her twin brother is very strong, so much so that they were rarely separated from each other during their childhood. They opened up the group home together, went to college together, and work together. Mara's relationship with her parents is largely unknown, but it can be said that she did mourn her father's passing in 2013 and does miss her mother. Mara and Hamish had a good relationship together. She often calls him from America and sends mail frequently.

Group Home Residents
Cameron Lee= Cameron was Mara's foster brother for about 9 years, so they are fairly close. She took on a maternal role in his life early on, and takes special care to watch his PTSD and anxiety. Dany was the 3rd person to move into the Group Home (after Emilie and Alasie) and so has a strong relationship with Mara. Like Cameron, Dany was a foster child, and Mara was the first foster parent to actually have a strong maternal role in Dany's life. Mara and Miles don't really interact much in their daily lives, but he does go to her and Brodie for advice on what to get Danny for her birthday. Mara and Emilie are the oldest women in the house, and as such, Mara helps Emilie with raising Jayme, Emilie's daughter. Mara and Cooper have a friendly relationship. Mara and Alasie understand each other on a deep level, as both were not from USA (Mara from Scotland, Alasie from Nunavut).
