Marina

**Marina** is a main character in the fanon version of **Pretty Blood**.

## Early Life

Marina was born and raised by her parents, Angel Saltwater and John Tidepod. Somewhere between 4 and 6 months old, Angel tells Marina about Harold’s job as a prison warden before retiring.

However, when she was 8 months old, she was forced to start developing early and fend for herself under a boardwalk of the beach after her parents died, which was caused by both Angel and John getting both stabbed by the glass and their necks snapping after a car collision.

During this time, she was bullied by other kids and was ignored by adults. One day, when Marina was 2, while she was bullied, a knife flew to the bully’s arm, stabbing the bully’s arm which caused the bully to run away.

Marina meets Rinny (age 5), who was the child who threw the knife, although the bear cub Malino was intending to kill a crab. Marina attempts to engage a conversation with Rinny, thus their friendship is born.

At age 4, she was found and taken in by both the parents of Angel and John. Sometime during Middle School, at age 8, she and her friend (age 10) see Stripes (who was at age 14) being picked on by some bullies while Stripes was reading a book.

Not wanting to see the tigress cub Malino bullied, Marina attacked the bullies with her sharp teeth, causing the bullies to run away. After defending Stripes from the bullies, Marina introduces Stripes to Rinny, and in the hype of the moment, it was Marina who had the "crazy idea" of them becoming "sisters for life" so she can prove that predators of different species can stick together and look after each other no matter what.

At first, Stripes was confused by the idea, as they "look nothing alike", but when Marina said "that's the best part", all three of them accepted the idea and went along with it, and spent their entire childhood torturing animals together since, thought Stripes felt reluctant about torturing animals.

## Joining Pretty Blood

Eventually, in the very start of her adult years, at age 18, Marina decides to get a job. Her job hunting doesn't go quite well, with every job results in her getting fired due to her reckless and silly behavior. As she continues to search for a job, she ends up in the underground base of Pretty Blood.

She mistakes it for an underground butcher shop and tries to apply the job by butchering a Pretty Blood slave. The humans of Pretty Blood, shocked about her behavior and her teeth, allow Marina to join Pretty Blood, making her the second Malino to join Pretty Blood, with Stripes being the fifth months later after Stripes killed a victim on accident.

## Appears in

Marina, along with Stripes, makes her first appearance in “Rinny (fanmade version)” when the two were interrogated by a spy for Pretty Blood as Marina and Stripes explain about Rinny and Marina narrates of how she took a photo of Rinny, who had a true sadistic smile, after the bear Malino knocked out her daughter with a flower pot, and posted it on the dark web. All members of Pretty Blood thought the face was funny, thus the photo becomes a viral meme.

She once again appears in “Toy Lilly (fanmade version)” alongside Stripes and Momo, while the episode also marks as Momo’s first appearance, when the trio get inside the house and abduct a drugged/unconscious Lilly. She later appears when Stripes tells Rinny to take Momo’s place as leader of Momo’s unit when Momo ended up breaking one of her legs during a mutant fight.

Marina appears in “Dream Terror (fanmade version)” as she sings a cover of Sugar Rush by AKB48 after Ron’s abduction. She later appears in the hospital and reunites with Ron and reveals to her sister that Ron is a Lynx with a birth defect that makes her look like a rabbit, much to the duo’s shock.

She makes another appearance in “Living Hell (fanmade version)” as she tortures Rina Pompom, a redeemed childhood bully of hers, with a machine that tortures the rabbit endlessly. She mocks Pompom and her suffering, with the sea otter Malino recalling the bully that she put her through during her childhood. A video of her cannibalizing one of her victims can be shown.

Marina makes a small, minor appearance in “The Twins (fanmade version)”, with the sea otter Malino waving hi to Momo as the brown Panda Malino slams both of the twins to the shared screen of the rabbit endurance test room.

She makes a major appearance in “The Starter (fanmade version)” as she gets revenge on Pompom for all of the bullying she put Marina through during childhood by torturing the rabbit Malino.

Marina makes an appearance in the Technical series. She first appears in the prologue of “Technical: Pretty Blood (fanmade version)” when she and a member of Pretty Blood talk about the company’s purpose, later making small appearances in the same episode. She later appears with Stripes in “Technical: Illogical Technique (fanmade version)” when the duo are seen completely shocked after the Malino slaves break out of their restraints and seek revenge on their torturers. She finally appears at the epilogue of “Technical: Inhuman (fanmade version)”, when she, Momo, Stripes, and other surviving Pretty Blood members try to come up with a plan to get revenge on Sadny, Mooncake, and Nono, before Marina decides to contact someone who can help them.

She makes another major appearance in “Necro Worm (fanmade version)” as she participates in the game with an unnamed Pretty Blood member and bet NO.4 to see if he can survive. NO.4 wins, much to the duo’s success. She later appears at the cemetery to see her deceased parents’ graves and tells them that she earned a lot of money, though she felt like she was talking to herself.

Marina makes a brief appearance in “Space Blubby (fanmade version)”, as she is seen in a photo along with her sisters on a small table as Miva tortures Luxla. She later appears in “Space Blubby [Extra] (fanmade version)” as she calls Miva, via telephone, and tells the Blubby to come to Earth, in which Miva curiously does so.

She makes a huge, major appearance in “Red Snow (fanmade version)” when she, Stripes, and their unit are sent into the snowy biome to find a missing squad.

## Personality

On the surface, Marina seems like a caring, compassionate, friendly, and polite Sea Otter Malino, baking cakes, planting flowers, and helping others in need. However, this was only a ruse as her true self is actually a abusive, cruel, torture-obsessed, sadistic, manipulative, cannibalistic, and brutal Malino, as this ruse helps Marina make sure no one on the surface knows she’s a Pretty Blood member.

Despite this, she is shown to still have a silly personality, as she is somewhat air-headed, distracted, ditzy, and carefree. She also seems to be caring to her family, both blood-related and family of choice.

## Trivia

* Her personality is inspired by Lotso from Toy Story 3 and Art the Clown from Terrifier.
* Alarcon chose her to be a Sea Otter Malino because of the fact that Sea Otters are endangered.
