I'm thinking kidnapped, strapped to an alter, having a macabre music machine playing soul wrenching music and an insane cultist standing over you and trying to get you to smile because you recently had a depressing experience but instead disfigured you horribly out of anger because you can't smile.

If you wouldn't smile, even with the Mare whispering in your ear and all that (unlikely, considering her power)... :( They'd just kill you. The Cult can always use more laughing dead. Characters that are relatively willing at first, then become doubtful make far and away the most sense when it comes to the Cult, as the other way around just leads to Smiling Dolls, food for the Grinning Worms, etc.

I'm sorry, I know that's limiting. I think what you need to tell me are the results. What is this character like right now? From there, I can see if there's any way to fit her/him in with the Cult.
