## Background

### 1977 - Present: Marie Grunier

Melanie Yvonne Nadege Mylene Grunier was born & raised in France. At a young age, she began going by Marie. Since she was a little girl, Marie wanted to be a doctor & that's just what she did. After getting her medical degree & passing her boards, Marie decided to commision in the army & became a trauma physician.

When Marie crossed paths with Josephine Tautin, she was only at the rank of Interne/Resident (equivalent to First Lieutenant). Josephine worked for the Directorate-General of External Security & was currently working with France's Armed Forces on a specific case. The two ended up hitting it off & would spend their free time together. Marie fell hard for the young woman, so hard that when Josephine was assigned back to France, Marie went back with her. She got herself a job working as an an ER Doctor at Paris' premiere hospital, Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital. The two were married the next year.

Marriage was bliss for them. While Marie wasn't privy to the exact work that Josephine did, she did not let it get to her or between their relationship. Unfortunately, Josephine's job was more dangerous than Marie was aware of as after one year of marriage, Josephine was killed on the job. Now a widow, Marie took a leave of absence from the hospital to grieve. When it was time for her to return, Marie decided to go back to the army.

Marie spent over half a decade with the French Defense Health Service, obtaining the rank of Médecin Principal (equiavlent to Major). One of her last tasks ended up being negotiating with a mentally unstable criminal that kidnapped her, two other doctors & some wounded soldiers. Marie was able to successfully talk the man down, empathizing with him & getting him to turn himself in. Her work not only impressed her superiors but also other organizations, particularly Stormwatch. The UN agency sent out Special Agent Santini to speak with Marie, offering her the opportunity to work with the team as their lead medical officer.

Marie decided a new change of pace could be nice & accepted the role. As a member of Stormwatch, she patches the team's bodies & ensures that they remain psychologically able to stay in the field.
