Marcella (The New Adventures of Robin Hood)

Marcella (Rachel Shelley) was a villainess in the 1997 episode "The Birthday Trap" for the action adventure TV series "The New Adventures of Robin Hood".
At the beginning of the episode, Marcella is seducing a castle worker James (Ramunas Cesonis). As James is kissing her neck, she tells him she wants to go to the birthday party to celebrate the fiftieth birthday of Lady Mary Tudcaster, Robin Hood's stepmother. Despite not knowing her, she says she wants to see the important people with all their fancy dresses and jewelry. James flashes the key that opens up the back door of the castle and tells her to meet him there tomorrow. Just then, Graham (Dean Williamson), the leader of a band of thieves shows up and grabs James. He grabs the keys from James' pocket, and asks if he enjoys kissing his sister. They then take James away, so their plan is not foiled.
Marcella was a member of the band of theives that enter the castle and interrupt the festivities of a birthday party. Robin Hood enters the party dressed as an old man in order to surprise his stepmother. The band of thieves consists of their leader Graham (Dean Williamson), Marcella, and Derek (Peter Fletcher). Marcella and Graham are clearly not brother and sister, they have a much deaper relationship. After casing the party, the group begins to round up the guests and steal all their money, jewelry and trinkets.
Robin attempts to stop the band of theives, and is seriously hurt when he makes his way out. Knowing the castle well, he relies on his cunning to separate the thieves, and lay traps for them in the rooms they find themselves locked in.
Marcella does her best to stay undercover. However, when Graham falls off the top of the castle to his death, she suddenly gives herself away by running to his side. 
Marcella then grabs Graham's sword sticking in the ground and takes Katherine (Amanda Ryan) hostage. Katherine was at one time betrothed to Robin, but he had to go away when he was wanted by the law. In order to save Katherine, Robin throws the bag of jewels in the air, and Marcella releases Katherine so that she could intercept them. However, Rowena (Edita Politaite) steals a crossbow and shoots Marcella while she is leaping for the jewel bag. Marcella lands with an arrow in her back and dies while stretching out to hold the hand of Graham.
