## Biography

Marie is born in 701 as the twin sister of Louis Ferro, born the princess of Licssi, she was taught by her parents about the story of Licssi and learned of how her brother was bethroted to Aya Arfaltras as an alliance between Licssi and Natas in 710. In 716, she witnessed the marriage of her brother and of the Natasian princess, when Aya left for Licssi and met her sister-in-law, Marie Ferro presented to her and fell to her charm after some years. She also taught the basic knowledges about Licssi to Aya and admitted to her brother that she loved his wife and was lesbian. Finding the object that belonged to her ancestor, Germaine took advantage of the shame she felt for loving her sister-in-law and contracted with her.

Seeing Malm's ascending power and taking advantage of the event of a diplomatic dinner where Ellen, the heiress of Zeun who insulted her and Licssi as a whole, she declared war on Balpheg and Malm, justifying to Kastan that she hadn't anything against Malm but that it was purely for the sake of her country. During this meeting, she felt a familiar presence around Kastan. Two days after, a Kasmodan, Edir Sectan, came to her with the project of uniting all subnations of Kasmoda into a gigantic nation called the Kasmodan Empire, forging an alliance with Licssi, Marie listened and supported that idea, sending a small troop of soldiers to help Edir while sending his soldiers to training.

Aya tried to make her stop but Germaine, growing stronger, managed to make her host refuse, noticing that it was much harder to controll Marie when Aya was around and even more when she was directly talking to the Natasian. In 721, Marie was convinced by Aya, along with her brother, to give money to free Maraa from Malm's dominance. She then witnessed Maximillien Saurius lead many Licssians in a revolution and organized an escape in 724 in Belzeen. Around that time, she witnessed Aya give birth to a child she gave to one of her servants. However, they were arrested and executed.

Sent in the Abyss for her contract with an Archdemon, she was tortured of many horrible ways, suffering until one day, Aran Arfaltras, in an exchange of souls asked by Aya, sent her back to the world of living, first as a ghost and then in her regenerated body, three years after dying the first time. She was then obsessed by the desire to not go back in the Abyss and to redeem for her own sake only.

She saw how Licssi evolved without her and the Royal Family of Ferro and saw it developped pretty good. Starting to think that her wants were selfish, she vowed to change and prayed to support Osman Sectan during Kasmoda's civil war, using the same arguments that Osman gave her years ago. She also gave money to people and led some Licssians in a quest to calm down relations between Balpheg and Licssi, not at war anymore but still furious towards each other, she had the chance to speak to Ellen who said that she reminded her of someone, Marie half-jokingly saying that she hoped it was not a bad person.

Eventually, the coup d'état of Eleon Nastre happened with the Empire of Licssi breaking the alliance with Kasmoda and Natas and declaring war on Malm and Alonia. At 55 years, the still remorseful Marie died and was buried by the Licssians she helped, to her surprise, after that second life she thought full of failures, she ended up in the Graveyard.

## Personnality

Marie is clever, she is extremely knowledgeable about history of Licssi, she is very good in manipulation but, due to her young age, is quite emotional. She dearly loves her brother and is both friendly and quite teasing with Aya.

After her sojourn in the Abyss, Marie is shown to be darker yet unable to feel fear, like if the things she saw in her jail were so horrible that nothing could surprise or scare her, she was also remorseful and ready to help others, wanting only to atone for her sins. She was also far more open with her sexuality.
