APPEARANCE;;
The first thing that many people notice about Marion would have to be her hair and Marion makes sure that she takes very good care of it because of this. While it has a lovely color, a deep black that often appears either blue or sometimes even green in certain lightings, it is really the ridiculous length of it that catches all the attention. Thanks to her mother’s wishes, Marion has been growing it for a very long time and while she gets it cut regularly to ensure health and to remove split ends, it otherwise remains untouched and because of this, it currently reaches down past her butt. Due to this, she constantly keeps her hair up in a set of high pigtails, which sets them around her lower back instead.
Another feature of Marion’s that is notable would have to be her eyes, which are a unique color that she has so far seen only see in her mother and her grandmother. Surrounded by a set of thick, dark lashes, they are an incredibly deep shade of grey that can sometimes appear, oddly enough, an almost murky ashy-brown in their darkness. With pale skin that in the winter can sometimes appear sickly, her hair and eyes can really stick out, which just makes them even more noticeable. Other than these two features, Marion tends to blend in with the rest of those her age. Standing at an average five feet, four inches, she is neither short nor tall, which works well with her slender build. Naturally thin, she has a healthy figure that leans a bit towards an hourglass while not being overbearing, which suits her just well.

PERSONALITY;;
Overall, Marion is a rather friendly girl and she likes to help others if she can. She is a good student, always punctual to turn in her assignments and a good-listener in class. She is intelligent enough, and she can be trusted to do her work, even if she doesn’t always get everything correct on the first try. She can be a rather naive and unthinking person in character, no matter how book smart she may be, and she often has a tendency to speak before she has finished her thought. This also makes her come off as a bumbling idiot at times, seeing as she does voice her thoughts and questions before she has really given herself a chance to consider them and figure them out herself. She is friendly enjoys talking to people and making friends, and she can be very good at keeping a conversation if you can find the right topic. However, this can be a bit difficult at times, seeing as she grew up in America and is accustomed to things that many of her peers don't quite get into, as she experienced an entirely different culture growing up. If she can find someone with similar interests, she is talkative and bubbly, able to talk your ear off. She, in all honesty, will probably not stop talking once you get her going, and she is a pro at bouncing around from subject to subject to keep someone talking. Marion is also rather caring; she is trustworthy and protective, and she doesn't take kindly to people messing with her friends. She is very loyal to a friend and she tries her best to never hurt somebodies feelings. She hates it when people hurt her feelings, so she goes out of her way to try not hurt the feelings of others, though she can sometime do so without meaning to. She always feels terrible when she accidentally hurts someone and she always does her best to make the situation right.
However, Marion is also easily irritated and she hates to be proven wrong. Telling her that she is wrong and trying to explain to her why she is wrong after she has acknowledged, unhappily, that she is indeed incorrect is one of her biggest pet peeves. It annoys her to no end when somebody tries to explain her incorrectness to her like she’s stupid. She doesn’t take criticism well, but it can help push her to be better on some occasions. However, most of the time it just leaves her a blubbery mess or feeling insecure about herself. She also happens to be a very emotional person who happens to have low self-esteem, and she can be affected by the slightest jab at one of her insecurities. Marion is rather sensitive and can be hurt easily, often over the smallest things. She has a tendency to misinterpret things or read too far in to the tone of voice or the exact words that were said. However, she isn’t the type to show her anger or hurt through words or physical acts; she tends to just not talk to you for several days, ignoring you and anything to do with you, seeing as she can hold quite the grudge. She is a person who does not always forgive wrongs easily and it can take a lot to get back into her good graces. She can be quite childish and spoiled at times, being raised in a family that was rather well-off, but she believes in sharing and she always tries to make sure everything is evenly divided, as long as it is on her terms. She has this thing where it bugs her if someone asks her for something but if she offers it, it is totally fine. She is also a bit stubborn when it comes to direct orders instead of friendly requests; if you want her help, you have to ask nicely and not just tell her to do something and expect her to do it (not applying to assigned work and orders from teachers).
Marion is also known among her friends to be quite sarcastic. In fact, she is quite fluent in sarcasm and often times people can’t tell if she is being serious or not. She has a tendency to talk with a straight face and say something that could be hurtful or anger someone if they aren’t used to her speech and behavior, but she tends to only do this to a friend that she has had for years. Often times, she will give her comment with a smile, letting the person know that she is joking and not actually trying to hurt or offend them. While she is quite intelligent, especially when it pertains to any subject that interests her, she despises school with every fiber of her being, as she is also quite lazy. She hates having to work for anything and she procrastinates until the last minute, but she makes sure she ends up doing everything. Bullies are another reason she detests school, as they always relentless pick on people’s flaws so nobody ever sees the good parts of themselves, only the bad. Lastly, she is incredibly impatient and she can become irritable quickly if she has to wait on something.

HISTORY;;
Being from a wealthy family, Marion has already had an easier life than most of the people her own age, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it was better. Born in the middle of January to a pair of doctors, Marion knew right from the start that her home situation was different from many of the children that attended her little public elementary. Because her parents were doctors, they were paid extremely well for their work and the little family of three always had money to spend, which meant that a portion of it went to owning a home much larger than what was needed for a family of such a small size and shiny new cars that were more for looks than for functionality. It also happened that the hospital that her parents worked at was owned by the family and was prestigious and well known for its medical research, so it helped to make her family even wealthier than what would usually be available. This of course meant that her family could easily afford to hire a cleaning lady to take care of the house work that her mother was too busy to do and to hire any person that could watch over their little spot of sunshine; thankfully, they didn’t have to do that because Marion’s grandmother on her mother’s side was around to take care of her.
If it weren’t for the grandmother, Marion didn’t know how she would have turned out in life; she might have ended up just like the spoiled brats that are always portrayed on television shows because they didn’t get enough love from their parents growing up. They were always the problem children, the bullies, who never had love and caused a ruckus for the nannies. If it weren’t for her grandmother, Marion had a fear that she would have ended up just like one of those stereotypical characters simply because she didn’t get enough love from her parents. They worked every day of the work week, leaving before Marion was up and never arriving home before Marion managed to fall asleep, no matter how early she forced herself to rise or how much she pushed herself to stay awake in the hopes of seeing them. She knew that the two loved her, as they tried to spend as much time as they could with her over the weekends, but they were always on call and it wasn’t uncommon for them to have to ditch whatever plans they had to speed back to the hospital. That’s why Marion was so glad to have her grandmother with her to give her love and affection and to discipline her when she did something wrong because if she hadn’t been punished, she would have never learned to behave.
Her grandmother continued to support her and take care of her even after Marion began her schooling years, dropping her off and meeting her at the bus stop every morning and afternoon (her parents sent her to a public school since the closest private school was too far away to be feasible). She was the one that was in charge of getting her ready for school every morning and she always had a delicious snack ready for when she got home. She was the one that helped Marion when she had trouble with her schoolwork, helping her along step by step as she struggled with math from an early age, and she was the one who made her dinner and read to her at night. She was also the one that helped her get through the rough years of middle school when they came along, along with the bullying that came with them. Because her hair color was so unique, her eye color was so strange, and the fact that she was all around different because she came from a wealthy family, she was constantly bullied by other students. They teased her and made fun of her hair and they would find any excuse to try and get it caught in the door or to get food in it. Marion was ashamed of her hair and wanted so badly to cut it and be done with it but her mother would never allow her, so she simply had to suffer with it. Over the years, the teasing never let up, so Marion felt both joy and slight reluctance, as she did still have friends in the school, when she was told that the family would be moving.
Marion’s parents, it seemed, had offered a great sum of money to move to Japan and become the leaders of a new research program that they were going to start up. It was fortunate that both Marion’s aunt and uncle were doctors as well (it was a family thing), so that they could take care of the hospital while the family was away, so that was all covered. What was unfortunate, though, was that her grandmother would not be able to move with them. She was much too old for a journey to a different country and so she would have to stay with Marion’s aunt and uncle; Marion was heartbroken, even more so than having to leave her friends behind. She knew, though she didn’t really know how well it would work out, that she would be able to make new friends in Japan, assuming she could learn the language fast enough, but not having her grandmother there was a totally different story. She wouldn’t be there to make sure she got up, she wouldn’t be there to make her something to eat whenever she got home, she wouldn’t be there to help her with her math homework, and she wouldn’t be there to comfort her through the teasing. Marion didn’t know how she would be able to get through such a change by herself, and the next year was a hard one for her.
The family had been asked a year in advance about the project so that they would have time to prepare, leaving Marion struggling to learn a new language, keep up with her schoolwork, and say goodbye to everyone at the beginning of her freshman year, which was a lot for someone so young. She tried to spend as much time as she could with her friends and she tried to experience as many new things as they could together before she left; she had her friends over as many weekends as she could and she always tried to stay up as late as possible so that she could spend as much time as humanly possible with them. She tried to hang out with her friends with a fiendish ferocity but even that paled in comparison with how much time she spent with her grandmother. Marion was with her even more than when she was with her friends and it was crazy just how much time they spent together. While Friday nights and Saturday afternoons were meant for friends, every other part of the week that wasn’t spent at school was meant for her grandmother; the two even stayed together as Marion struggled to learn Japanese, which allowed her grandmother to pick up a bit as well. The two ate together, studied together, and packed together, trying to get as much time together in because they didn’t know how much they would get to see each other afterwards.
That whole year, Marion tried not to think of the moving day that was quickly looming towards her but before long, it had arrived, and it was finally time for Marion and her parents to go. It was with a heavy heart, much heavier than when she had been first told that she would have to move, and with many tears that she was finally separated from everything she knew growing up to be placed on a plane heading towards a country she knew little about. It was a nerve-wracking experience and Marion was incredibly anxious the entire flight on what her life would be like after landing. Would she be ok without her grandmother? Would she be able to make friends at her new school, some place called Lobelia Academy? Would she be teased there as she had been at her old school? Marion hoped against everything that all of these questions had a positive answer.
