Mary made her first appearance in the first issue of the Warrior Nun Areala mini-series, written and drawn by Ben Dunn. She later acquired her own spin-off book, "Shotgun Mary," written by Herb Malette and drawn by Joseph Wight. Mary is revealed to be a lesbian (or at least bisexual) in the "Shotgun Mary: Blood Lore" series. Ten years prior to the events in that story, she had been in love with one of her fellow Warrior Nuns. Mary was once a Warrior Nun in service to the Church. But her methods of handling things continually fell outside the bounds of what the Vatican felt was appropriate behavior for a Warrior Nun. Fed up with the Church's attempts to stifle her, Mary left the Warrior Nun order and struck out on her own, a one-woman army who preferred to bring the fight to the demons instead of waiting for the forces of Hell to move then striking in retaliation as the Church does (in her eyes). Mary, as her namesake indicates, is a consumate gunfighter. She is quite proficient with just about every firearm known to man, and uses them all equally well in her quest to demolish the forces of Hell. In addition to her marksmanship, Mary is also well-versed in the operation of motorcycles, constantly getting them to places no normal (or sane) cyclist would ever attempt. Finally, if the situation calls for it, Mary is a cunning hand-to-hand fighter, though this is truly a tactic of last resort for her in a fight. It could be said that Mary either still has the blessing of God or that she is simply incredibly lucky, but the fact remains that she has single-handedly walked out of situations that would have ended the lives of whole groups of Warrior Nuns with only a few scrapes or bruises to show for it.
