**Marian Erinna Black** is the second child and youngest daughter between Eva Grimaldi and Adrian Black, and is the younger twin sister to Morgan and is the older sister to Michael. Through her mother she is the half-sister to Rhiannon and Adam, Abel, and Seth and through her father she is the half-sister to Mordred, Mabuz, and Meliora.

## Personality

Marian is a very quiet and stoic person who often acts as an observer. Despite her silence during the Student Council's meetings, she's mostly in step with Morgan (her twin). However she does seem to be less cold, as she acted very shocked, when Chloe poked out her own eye.

It's revealed that when she doesn't have her mask on, Marian is an incredibly shy and somewhat socially awkward person, who visibly has a lack of self-confidence, which makes her a complete opposite of Morgan. However, despite this blatant disparity, she was able to disguise herself as her twin sister and perfectly copy her behavior during the meeting with their family. Acting as another person is also a kind of mask for her.

She seems to be quite perceptive, readily recognizing trickery during their match. In spite of her amenity, she can be manipulative sometimes, forcing Yaara Khen to gamble against Calanthe and Orabela, placing Rhiannon Barnett life on the line. Marian is a very skilled gambler, which is implying that she might be the reason why Morgan has so much power within the clan.
