## History

Marisol grew up catholic, with at least her mother. She didn't go to college instead going on to get a full time job working tech support. She was a bit of a flirt when she was younger.

She was abducted sometime before 2016 and was awoken on not-hoth at the beginning of Lauren's Barbarian. She is terrified and constantly hiding. While hiding in *The Tranquil Lady*, Lauren comes and finds her. The destruction of the ship begins while they are inside. Mari hides in one of the stasis pods, while Lauren frees it from the ship. Mari was able to pull her into the pod from the water. Eventually they fall asleep.

### Mari's Mistake

In a flashback to the event of Lauren's Barbarian, T'chai was fishing on the beach, lamenting the death of his tribes mates, when R'jaal arrived with Marisol. Upon seeing her, Marisol and T'chai resonated. In the coming days they did not fulfill resonance. When Lauren arrived at the Tall Horn clans home, sky-claw attacked and T'chai was injured. A month followed where he grew increasing sicker, while they prepared to leave the island to make to the mainland.

When they arrived on the mainland, Veronica turned off their resonance to allow him to heal.

In present day, T'chai has recovered. While Mari shared a hut with T'chai she was unable to tolerate his touch. This upset her, but she didn't know how to fix it. She tried to get advice from Farli but it doesn't help. R'jaal suggested to T'chai to woo her with words if they cannot touch.

On the day of the games to win the knives, a fight broke out over Tia. T'chai was injured. Tia was in big trouble and ultimately it was decided to send her to Croatoan. Mari thought maybe she should go with Tia. This led to a confrontation. T'chai's explains his idea of wooing her with words and while wearing gloves. He also decided he would go visit Croatoan with her.

On their way to Croatoan another "package" from Niri arrived. This time it was a stasis pod with Daisy inside. She gave them all the news that earth had been destroyed.

The group headed to Croatoan. There Maylak said that Veronica turned off her khui's ability to "hear" others khui's song. So it cannot hear the song of T'chai's khui and it thought T'chai was not her mate. Maylak managed to fix Mari's khui. After a week they re-resonate.

They travel home to icehome. Raven went missing not long after they arrive.

### Later History

In the time jump between Steph's Outcast and Sam's Secret, Marisol gave birth to T'mar.

During the events of Steph's Outcast, Marisol and T'chai elected to return to Croatoan. They both return before Sam's Secret begins.
