### Marlene Bloomberg: 1980 - 1998

Marla is the daughter of Robert and Sarah Bloomberg. She had an older brother, Robert, Jr, but was not particularly close to him as he was considerably older than her. She had a nice childhood in New Carthage, but became uncomfortable in her environment as she grew older and began to realize she did not fit the mold of the small town environment. She used films as a personal escape from her hell of being surrounded by what she called "potato heads."

### Marla Bloomberg: 1998 - 2002

After graduating high school, Marla bought a used car from her uncle and drove out to Star City. She put herself through Seaview University's film school by working as a waitress and saleswoman.

### Marla Bloom: 2002 - 2006

After film school, Marla got her start as a production assistant and associate director for various Stellar Studios' films. After the studio secured the rights to the Justice League of America story and had problems with finding a screenwriter, Marla took the initiative to write her own treatment and submit it. Somehow she also managed to negotiate her way into the director's chair.

While on set, filming Justice League: Dawn of Justice, Marla received word that her brother and his wife had died in a car accident, along with Marla's parents. Shooting was delayed so she could return home for the funeral. She would return with her young nephew Eddie, being named the boy's sole legal guardian.

Marla returned to the set with the intent of proving the studio was not wrong in their choice to delay production rather than find a new director. As Marla poured herself into the production, she relied on her cast and crew to help her with her nephew. Eddie turned out to be a big hit behind-the-scenes. In particular, Eddie bonded with Gemini De Mille's stunt double, Dani Cassidy. Seeing the stuntwoman chatting up cast and crew in her Amazon costume, Marla fell in love and worked up the courage to ask her out.

### Marla Bloom: 2006 - 2013

Marla and Dani kept their relationship a secret for nearly a year before coming out publicly as a couple. In 2010, during the filming of the sequel to Justice League, Marla and Dani were married. Shortly after their marriage, Marla decided to convince the studio to allow her to recast Dani Cassidy as Wonder Woman, replacing Gemini De Mille. She began to personally coach Dani to prepare her for the role, in addition to hiring the best acting coaches in the industry.

During the filming of the third movie, Hell on Earth happened. In the first wave, Marla and Dani were abducted, as was Sharon Scott, by the minions of Nebiros. The three were experimented on by the demon. Danielle managed to injure the demon and helped lead the escape from Hell.

### Marla Bloom: 2013 - 2014

After a week, Dani and Marla returned from Hell. Shortly after their return, the two discovered Eddie was injured. Dani gave Eddie a blood transfusion, unaware she was going through a change due to the experiments performed on her. When Dani and Eddie transformed into devils, Marla stuck with them and helped them cope with their conditions — for the remainder of her life.

On May 14th, 2014, Marla slipped into a coma and haunted the Lamb Valley Hospital as a restless spirit infected with infernal corruption for months before her angry spirit was confronted by Danielle Cassidy and her new friends in Shadowpact. Scared of hurting her wife, Marla asked to be taken off life support.

Marla Bloom, beloved filmmaker, wife, and aunt died on a Saturday morning. She was laid to rest at Daleyville Cemetery, not far from her estate. She lives on in the hearts and minds of her wife, nephew, and millions of fans.

## Personality

Marla was an assertive, powerfully charismatic woman. She was a risk-taker and someone who could abandon any and all of her carefully laid-out plans to seize a once-in-a-lifetime moment. This gave her an intense romance with Danielle Cassidy, who was not afraid of risks but was nervous about deviating from plans — however as Marla was the much more assertive of the pair, Dani would almost always relent to Marla's more fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants attitude.

At home, when it came to raising Eddie, Marla was very close to her nephew but much of the day-to-day raising of Eddie was done by Danielle who had raised her younger sister and was more comfortable with child-rearing. This was always a matter which troubled Marla. She had meant to correct this. Once Danielle's acting career got off the ground, Marla's plan was to retire from filmmaking for a few years and focus on improving her relationship with Eddie and allowing Dani the freedom to form her own career.

After her experience in Hell, Marla became quiet and withdrawn. She kept her trauma bottled in and did not reveal the severity of her infernal sickness until it was too late. Before falling into a coma, Marla made her final film — a self-made video series of taped confessionals to Dani and Eddie, professing her love.
