Marie

**Marie** (Mawile) is a supporting character in Bandits of the Forest. She is a Woodland Ranger of the Foresters, but has since been retired from most field work due to a leg injury.

## Personality

Marie is flirtatious to a fault. She doesn't spare a moment to get up close with anyone who catches her fancy. Her actions are described by her fellow peers as perverted, and she wears this like a badge of pride. She speaks in innuendos and will find any excuse to get close to the object of her affection.

Marie has a sadistic side to her. As the Foresters' lead interrogator, she utilizes every trick in her book to make the target talk from seduction to torture (sometimes both at once). She seems to enjoy it, considering it "quality time" with her captive.

Despite her flirtatious nature, Marie is incredibly kind and patient to her friends. She will be the first to offer words of encouragement and lend an ear to those in need. She has her softer sides, displaying genuine moments of melancholy that she keeps to herself.

Marie despises the move Attract, love potions, and their dark history . She believes in consensual love between two people, and she seems to be aware that both items has been abused in the past to manipulate people. She will not hesitate to inflict violence on those who manipulate people's feelings.

## Abilities/Skills

**Overall Abilities-** As a Forester, Marie had received substantial training and is believed to be one of the earliest Foresters before they officially debuted. Not much is known of Marie's combat abilities due to weak left leg, which had been injured at some point during a mission prior to the story. However, she's remarkably quick with just one leg and utilizes hit-and-run tactics against stronger opponents.

**Interrogation-** Marie's specialty. She can dig out any information she needs through a combination of seduction and torture. She takes a lot of pride in her work. Perhaps too much pride.

**Daggers-** Marie's primary weaponry is small daggers she keeps on hand at all times. She mainly uses them to inflict quick wounds onto targets, though has shown she won't hesitate to stab someone if she believes they deserve it (whether that be with a dagger or a fork).

**Stealth-** To make up for her weak leg, Marie utilizes subterfuge and stealth to get around her opponents. She managed to sneak up on Regina von Elmnou and attempted to strangle her with Regina noting these actions seemed second nature. Marie managed to sneak through an entire crowd of nobles and took out two waiters without raising any alarm from the knights on guard.

**Martial Arts-** Though brief, Marie was able to flip Lionel, an Arcanine, by using her weight and his momentum to throw him into a closet. This may be a sign she knows certain martial arts like aikido.

### Enhanced Moves

**Fatal Attraction-** A combo attack using Attract with her Intimidate. She projects a disturbing aura onto her target that manipulates certain receptors in the brain, the ones responsible for fear, pain, and pleasure. This amplifies any external sensations inflicted on the body. This technique is only ever used during interrogations. Its activation is often accompanied by her left eye gleaming red, though this is likely also true for her Intimidate.
