guys. marlene mckinnon isn't popular. people barely know who she is other than "mary macdonald and james potter's friend", "the other beater on the gryffindor team", and "that guitarist in that band". marlene mckinnon was autistic, a goth, an out lesbian, and a nerd. yes she's a jock so you'd think she'd be popular? not the case. she's a beater, and good at it. doesn't mean she's liked outside of quidditch matches or giving strangers the occasional cigarette. she dresses in 'boy' clothes, she wears alternative clothing, she rants about joan jett, and wonder woman, and princess leia. she's brutally honest, loud, and passionate about random things. she makes jokes about stealing guy's girlfriends and sleeping with people's mums. marlene mckinnon is one of the coolest people ever. and people absolutely do not like her at all.
