II. Persona
What can be said about Marianne that isn't already said by her friends, family and her enemies. She is a dick. A dick that people do not understand, but still a dick. In truth, Marianne is a soft spoken person outside of combat that has overcome her fears of fighting through the use of jokes, one liners and often being annoying to the point of being insufferable. She often attempts to be as great as she can possibly be in order to live up to her family name however she always seems to find herself falling short due (at least in her eyes) due to the inability to get over things quickly. She gives her all, however she considers it not enough. To her its never truly enough.
Marianne has many many flaws (at least in her eyes). She slouches when she is alone, she does not properly brush her hair (despite it being perfect), and whats more, she cannot summon Bahamut at will. This all changed when she joined SOLDIER. She became what she always dreamed of, she was perfect, she was obsessed with her supposed perfection. She wishes for people to see her, to understand that she can be perfect, at least when she puts her mind to it. She consistently puts herself under alot of stress in order to keep the persona of being a dick, but also someone who can effortlessly beat the breaks off of multiple enemies at once.
After the events of Crisis Core, Marianne began to chill out, yes she was still a dick, yes she was still someone that always needed to be perfect, but she was much calmer. She began to take things alot more seriously, her jokes on people began to stop, her snarky attitude was replaced by a more heroic one. She felt better about herself, but she did not stop trying to give herself an air of perfection. At the end of the day, she wants the best, she always wants the best in people. How she carries it takes some work, it takes alot of work to get rid of 6 years of SOLDIER training and instincts after all. Shes still learning, shes still growing, and in the end that is the best that she can do.
III. Background
Honestly, EX-SOLDIER is the elephant in the room, post the events of Crisis core, Marianne was looking for something to do, she was not really someone that thought she would amount to anything. The fame and glory that she had received was going to run our eventually, especially when Shinra was Shinra. While she could live off of her family's name, she eventually moved to the upper district of Sector 5 with two of her friends. Living comfortably out of the slums didn't mean jack to her though, as she does constantly visit sector 4 and 5's slums in order to sell flowers. She has a green thumb, but alas, she also lives in midgar. Eventually she would like to move out and to a place where she can grow better flowers.
Her fighting style is as graceful as a battering ram, Marianne does everything at top speed. She casts faster, she moves faster, she thinks faster. Yet everything she does somehow gets applied tenfold when the glasses are finally put on. While she cannot summon Bahamut anymore, she does seem to focus up, her style goes from fast but wild (draconian) to more refined and polished. She has the ablility to perform limits, but so far, noone has ever seen what they do. I'll tell you here tho they're all Arturian Legend rela- "Can you don't I kinda wanna be used in like 3 days ty." ;-; okay damn.
