Marina is probably one of the most stubborn girls you'll ever meet.

Incredibly ambitious and motivated, she keeps her eye on the goal and charges at it like a berserker. As a child, she was endlessly restless: quick to laugh, quicker to talk, and forever climbing something she wasn’t supposed to. Then she changed in her tween years. Since then, Marina hated being alone. She always drifted toward Lucian, Askel or Sylvia, “accidentally” ending up wherever they were. She’d want to sleep in their bedrooms (even on the floor), linger in hallways, and fill silence with chatter just to keep the walls from feeling too close.

To this day, she's bold, witty, and certain of herself. Marnie's known to be sassy and even cheeky at times. She can be a bit of an outspoken hothead at times, and even sometimes a brat, stomping off to her room when she doesn't win an argument. However, underneath the bravado is a deeply compassionate girl who attaches fiercely to the people she loves. Lucian, Askel and Sylvia sit at the center of that devotion. She's always been rather sweet on those she cares about and extremely thoughtful. Not to mention, she has a deep love for adventure and new experiences. Marina loves to make others laugh and gets a kick out of playing pranks, especially on Sylvia.

For years, Marina was a source of sunshine energy in the Camilia family.  

Then Sophia died. 

The bubbly noise softened into something quieter. She still laughs, still jokes when the moment calls for it — but there’s a weight behind her eyes now. Everyone noted how much Marnie had become significantly more intense as a person in her twenties. She became seemingly overfixated on looking after Lucian.

Despite the dampened glow, Marina isn’t joyless. She’s stubbornly optimistic. She genuinely believes the world can be better and is willing to bleed in pursuit of that belief. She throws herself into danger with reckless enthusiasm when others are at risk.

Emotionally, she’s far softer than she pretends.

[b][color=#6C72C6]History Summary:[/color][/b]  
[color=#ECE8FF]
Princess Marina Camilia was born one of the middle children to Queen Rosa and King Alixandre. From the start, she was a spitfire—full of passion and a curiosity far beyond her years. She trailed after Lucian and Sylvia with bright chatter, restless energy, and a fierce eagerness to belong wherever her siblings were. Lucian was the brave, strong big brother she idolized and followed like a little duckling, Askel was the sweet brother she loved to spend time with, and Sylvia was her favorite little sister, whom she doted on endlessly.

However, her view of the world cracked early.

Her best friend had been one of the kitchen boys, one of many homeless children King Alixandre had taken in. His name was Cecil, and for years he had been one of her very best friends. It was always him, Marina, Sophia, Lucian, Askel, Sylvia, Ambrose, and sometimes Lady Mina Blackwood in their little circle.

Marnie had trusted him completely.

Then one day, when they were twelve, he led her into the woods and turned on her without warning. His hands closed around her throat and he nearly killed her before someone else intervened. Marina survived, but the betrayal lodged itself deep. She never understood why, and she never saw Cecil again.

Marina never told anyone, either.

After that, silence unnerved her. Closed doors made her palms sweat. She clung to her siblings with a desperation she disguised as enthusiasm. Even so, she improved as she grew into her teens. She and Lucian spent much of their time with Sophia, whom Marina still insists to this day must have been an angel sent from the heavens.

Years later, Lucian took an interest in Sophia and married her. Sophia’s presence softened the palace, and Lucian’s happiness gave Marina the impression (despite her own strong feelings) that everything was exactly where it ought to be.

Then the day came when everything broke. Marina did not see how Sophia died; she only remembered Lucian’s scream and following it to the sight of what remained of their beloved girl. The grief hollowed her out. She carried a heavy, private guilt.

And Lucian hardened. He shut her out, even as Marina tried again and again to reach him. She changed in her own way, too. When she wasn’t trying to cheer Lucian up, she trained with the knights, learning to wield a sword and defend herself. Even when she was barely trained, she began sneaking out in disguise at night to pick fights with criminals—not out of rebellion, but to teach herself how to face monsters like the one who had taken Sophia. To protect her family.

Her first intervention was a drunken noble cornering a maid. The second was a carriage transporting girls for reasons she did not want to know. Each time, Marina stepped in. Each time, she felt something inside her that was steadier than fear.

A few rumors began to spread about a hooded figure. It never became anything famous, but some in Breoven whispered of a protector who sabotaged cruelty in the dark. They called her the Lantern of Breoven, because she brought light into the shadows.

Marina never claimed the stories. In her early years, she was sloppy in her work and lost more fights than she won, stumbling into more than one traumatic situation—all in the name of becoming someone worthy enough to protect the people she loved, and the kingdom she loved.

But she was not the only one with a secret. She knew Lucian was hiding something, and he grew harder and harder to reach.

When their parents decided to send Lucian to Caesonia for the Courting Season, there was no chance Marina would let her beloved brother go alone. Over her dead body would he face anything alone ever again. Not only because Marina loved him, but because Sophia had loved him too.
