## Personality

 File:PX (8).png
Marlena is kind and considerate. In "Rogercop", when she explains that she didn't bring any food samples from the restaurant like Marinette's father did from his bakery, she jokingly says that perhaps the owner of Le Grand Paris, André Bourgeois, would invite them to have lunch at the hotel. Her kindness is also shown in "Kung Food" when, as a judge of *The World's Greatest Chef*, she gently tells Wang Cheng that his soup, which was ruined by Chloé Bourgeois, isn't good, unlike the other judges who were less tactful.

## Abilities

Being the head chef, Marlena has skills to cook and lead the chefs below her.
