Marie Tinsley

Marie was the product of a one-night stand between Melinda Tinsley and Shane Landgraab, who was already married with two kids from two different mothers.
== Melinda's Breakdown ==
Marie grew up in Oasis Springs with Melinda and her grandparents; Ritu and Ervin. She would sometimes see Shane when he visited. When Ritu and Ervin died of old age, Melinda fell into a deep depression and spiralled out of control, developing mental problems. Shane stepped in and took Marie to live in Del Sol Valley with him, his wife, Jamie and other housemates.
== Tragedy Strikes ==
Marie kept to herself - she had feuds with Madeline but took no notice of her cold ways. Marie slowly started to develop a strong relationship with Shane, despite her tough exterior. However, tragedy struck when Marie started an accidental house fire in the kitchen. Shane managed to save her but sadly perished in the flames. This took a huge toll on Marie, whose mother only partially reached out.
== Riddled With Guilt ==
Jamie managed to protect Marie but her mental health spiralled. She began sleeping around with random men, one of which was Aden Donnelly. Marie was devastated to learn that she was pregnant with Aden's child. She later gave birth to Shawn Tinsley, who she named in honour of Shane. Aden later died of overexertion.
== Moving to Sulani ==
Years later, Marie moved to Sulani with Jamie and Shawn and became a barista. She married Matty Mondragon and gave birth to Perry and Fiona.
== Marriage with Matty on the Rocks ==
Marie noticed that Matty was becoming distant as he started developing alcohol problems and issues that stemmed from his own childhood. When Matty's ex-wife Destinee died of old age, Marie comforted him but felt slightly jealous due to the huge impact it had on him. Jamie suggested he move in with his parents temporarily to sort his life out and so he left Sulani.
== Moving to San Myshuno with Matty ==
Marie bonded with Jamie's cousin Kingston and continued to raise her kids. Eventually, Matty contacted her and revealed he was getting his life back together, and so Marie took Perry and Fiona to live in San Myshuno with him, his mother Gracie and step-father Darren - Shawn decided to stay with Jamie.
== Happy Families ==
Marie had finally found happiness in her life as Perry and Fiona grew up in a small but safe environment. She was thrilled to welcome her first grandchild Greyson when Shawn and Beth Ngata conceived him, around which time Gracie and Darren had died of old age. Matty's mental health almost took a relapsing turn, but he cherished his family and stayed happy until he died of old age. Jamie also unexpectedly passed away, leaving Marie devastated. Marie continued to look after the kids and had feuds with next door neighbours Ethan Rockwell and co. She mistrusted Silas Morrow when he moved in while dating Fiona, but later came to accept him. Marie later died of old age with her two kids by her side.
