She's quite simple-minded and doesn't always think things through carefully. Quite clumsy and might even be seen as a bit of a ditz with the silly things she says sometimes. She absolutely loves anything to do with food: eating it, making it, taking pictures of it, dressing up dishes to appear fancier than they are, things of that nature. Biography: Born into a lower class family, Marie grew up in a household that never had enough money to feed itself. She was always getting food from soup kitchens, or taking scraps from the restaurants around her. She felt bad for simply taking from these people though, and soon began to learn how to cook for herself. She was extraordinarily talented, to the point where she was helping out with some of the finest restaurants in Paris and was becoming a mini-celebrity. One of the most famous cooking schools recruited her, though unbeknownst to her, her parents had to take out loans with the wrong people to be able to pay for her to go. Eventually, this caught up with them. One evening, while the family was enjoying a meal together, the family was threatened at gunpoint by thugs sent by the debt collectors. Somehow, Marie's parents were killed during a scuffle, and Marie herself would have been killed had it not been for the intervention of a certain Magical Girl. Now, she seeks to protect others from the same fate that she suffered, and the worse fate that she would have suffered. She travels from place to place, using her celebrity status as a chef as a guise for her true intentions. Experience Level: Magical Girl. Skills: -Cooking: A master level chef, able to perform all types of cooking with extreme skill. With this comes a superb sense of taste and smell. And knowledge of how to use cooking utensils as weapons too.~ -Emotional Support: Given her traumatic experiences and her nature as a person, she is exceptional at giving emotional support to those who need it. -Traveler of the World: With her status as a celebrity chef, she has seen all sorts of different cultures and different people. She has fundamental knowledge of most prominent cultures. Magical Power: Her magic stems from the concept of "a chef's food contains a chef's hopes and dreams." She has the ability to magically create food that, with a single taste, imparts the taster with the "hope" or "dream" that Marie has given the food she created. For example, if she hopes to give the taster immense strength to defeat an enemy, the taster will gain that strength. The more powerful the hope and dream, as well as the duration of the imparting, affects how much magical energy Marie uses.
