== Biography ==
=== Early History ===
Marianne was born in Westend, a free city along the west coast of Trioque. Her life was fairly ordinary at first, as she studied alchemy and medicine at the Gremio de Artificio in Estella for a time on a diplomatic scholarship stipend. Although she was brilliant, she didn't gain much notoriety for a long time and eventually met her husband, Piers Sullivan. While her mind was entertained, her social life was rather unfortunate.
Piers and Marianne desperately wanted children but unfortunately had trouble conceiving. After a number of years Marianne was finally able to be pregnant, but miscarried a few months into Piers's military service in the final Pantano War. Piers unfortunately would follow their child, perishing in the conflict. 
In 1465 AV, Marianne adopted a young boy named Edmund. They moved back to Westend as she began her research, channeling her grief over her late husband and their child. Misfortune followed her and Edmund unfortunately, and in 1468 AV, Edmund contracted tuberculosis. Despite her best efforts, Edmund unfortunately perished as well.
Marianne was consumed by her grief and isolated herself in Breakmount to continue her research. This was when she fully threw herself into researching the science of the soul, hoping to one day bring back Piers and her little Edmund.
=== Time with the Verdant Vigilantes ===
In the spring of 1474 AV, Marianne left Breakmount and returned to Asturia for the first time in a little under a decade. Once she reached Guala in Asturia she met Vashti Murin. While they traveled together she didn't explicitly perform her experiments, unable to without the proper equipment. She used Vashti's strong form as defense though found company in her conversation as well. In the winter of 1474 AV, her and Vashti got stuck in Villa De Lune, attempting to defend the town from a hoard of undead that would come every night. They were stranded their a fortnight, leading into 1475 AV before the Verdant Vigilantes came. After assisting the group, her and Vashti decided to travel with them and join, though Marianne was a bit reluctant to join their ranks.
