== Charactah Account ==
Marta tends to think along right-and-wrong lines. A bit of a tomboy, Marta is passionate about getting her way. On the left side of her forehead lies Ratatosk's core, imprisoned in a dormant state. Emil Castagnier became her guardian knight, a Knight of Ratatosk, in order to protect her and Ratatosk's core. She views him as effeminate, but believes he possesses a hidden strength which is why she reminds him by saying "Come on. You're a man! Speak up!"
Marta falls in love with both Emil and Ratatosk Mode Emil. As the game progresses, she begins to love Emil for who he actually is, instead of the fantasy she created in his image. Marta also gets very jealous when Emil tries to get along with other girls, mainly Colette, Sheena and Raine, stating that she shall not give up on getting Emil's heart. Being the romantic that she is, Marta will fully support anyone's attempts at a relationship as long as its not directed towards her or Emil.

== Trivia ==
* The game's producers were originally planning to name Marta "Selene", as well as give her much darker hair and personality. Selene is the goddess of the moon in Greek mythology; this name serves as the opposite of Emil's early development name "Soleil", which is French for "sun".
* In the English-language files of Dawn of the New World, there exist dubbed incantations for spells that Marta does not have access to in the final version of the game. These artes are: Ice Needles, Stone Blast, Stalagmite, Icicle Rain, Negative Gate, Ground Dasher, Absolute, Bloody Howling, Scare Shot, Healing Wind, Healing Circle, and Revitalize.
* Marta wears a key chain that resembles Mieu, a character from Tales of the Abyss. Tokunaga, Anise Tatlin's doll from the same game, is also visible on the back of her pouch.
* Ironically, despite how Emil is called the "Knight of Ratatosk," it is more appropriate to consider that Marta was the actual "Knight of Ratatosk," due to having been given some of Ratatosk's powers and unintentionally protecting Emil, the real Ratatosk, from attention from enemies by having a fake core.
** This is further attributed by how in Tales of the Rays, Marta refers to herself as the "Knight of Ratatosk" when performing her Mystic Arte.
