Marika belongs to a group of "Assassination Knights/Dark Knights", which is specially organized under the direct control of the Queen in Vlad Kingdom, and is the most powerful person next to Carla. She has the nickname of Grim Reaper, known for assassinating all the representatives and commanders of a human country that tried to usurp the throne, in a single night.

Destroyed Gram's organization, which dwelled in human trafficking, almost alone, with her overwhelming fighting power. However, on that day she also received grave injuries from Gram and would have died from them if Carla Cromwell did not intervene. In order to save Maria's life, Carla formed a Soul Bound with her, which turns the other person immortal and able to heal as long as Carla remains alive. This Soul Bound was a secret art of the nobility and meant for marriages, something that Carla didn't mind to sacrifice for Marika, which after that point became even more devoted. However, this soul binding was kept a secret to avoid political issues with Carla's availability for marriage in the eyes of other nobles.

Marika supported Carla, in her cooperation with the Vampire Hunters, which hunted criminal vampires, from Hayato Private Academy under Kitae as headmaster. When Gram, returned near Hayato Private Academy, it were Marika, Kitae, Azuma and Carla which defeated him once again.

She guarded Carla around Hayato Private Academy and investigated the disappearance of some students. Though, she was told to act as a student or teacher, to learn something new by Carla.
