Marah is Jake's niece and Modest's best friend.

## History

When Marah visits, Jake tells her about the snake girl in his toilet. Marah befriends the girl (who at this point did not know her own name and so was unable to tell it to anyone, so they refer to her as Medusa) by teaching her how to play Pokemon and getting her to talk. Marah teaches the girl about the human world and babysits her when Jake goes out. When the Chainsaw Unicorn attacks the house, Jake holds it off. Marah grabs the car keys and drives the car into the Unicorn.

Afterwards she and Medusa visit Charles in the hospital and let him know they plan to go to Medusa's world to rescue Jake who has been kidnapped. She calls her Uncle Will for advice and he gives her a sword thinking she is playing a game. When Charles inform Will and Marah's mother that it is not a game they watch as she flushes herself down the toilet and into the portal to Yeld.

In Yeld Marah is out of her depth but confident enough to hold her own. She cuts out the eye of a mermaid that tries to kidnap Medusa on behalf of Medusa's mother. She meets a ghost that lives in her grandmother's old house and is rescued by the Oath Break Urano. After spending a week asleep she and Urano came up with a plan, but she had to tell the Medusa to stay behind. While she recruits some pirates, Medusa decided to rescue Jake on her own. Marah and her allies try to stop Modest, but by this point Modest has been found by the Prince's people at the behest of her mother. A fight breaks out with the Chainsaw Unicorn that reveals Uncle Will's sword to be fake, costs the Pirate Captain his hand, and leave Urano dying. The Medusa agrees to go with the Prince's servants to save her friends, much to Marah's protests. As he dies, Urano makes Marah swear she'll protect her friends. When she agrees he makes her an Oath Breaker. She watches as he dies and a Drudge Angel takes him away, proving that he was a true hero.

Marah is unable to rouse the townspeople to help her fight the Prince, so she vows to get revenge herself. She joins the Pirates but the Captain wanted to leave her behind. She finds that Urano's armor has bonded to her and gives her advanced abilities that allow her to save the Captain's life from mercenaries. She begins gathering weapons for an assault on the Prince's palace, forcing the mermaid Jenny to reevaluate her life.

She uses a spear made from the bones of dragon to raise the dragon's skeleton and break open the Prince's castle. As the Pirates hold off the Prince's guards she infiltrates the castle and is captured. She uses her armor and spear to escape and reunites with Modest, who had learned her name while they were apart. After getting the other Medusas free from the castle the group goes to the Prince's Chamber to look for a promised portal home. They are confronted by the Prince who agrees to send Jake and Marah back since they had protected Modest on Earth. Marah refuses to leave Modest behind and challenges the Prince to a duel, in part because she can't go back to Earth since she's been in Yeld long enough that it has corrupted her and she has grown horns and fangs.

During the fight the Prince easily stabs Marah with a fatal wound, but Marah is able to scratch him first, drawing first blood and winning the duel. As she dies Marah is taken by a Drudge Angel. Jake and Modest, enraged but powerless are sent home to Earth.
On Earth a funeral for Marah is held and her mother blames Jake for what happened. Modest mourns for Marah and needs Jake to console her.

After Modest starts going to school and loses control of her hair, she returns to Yeld to stay with her sisters and avoid hurting the people she loves on Earth. When people learn that she has returned they come after her to use her for their own political machinations. When Modest's aunt dies while protecting her niece, Marah arrives to Modest's astonishment. She does not explain how she survived but says she has to stay in Yeld until she's ready to go back to Earth, which she will.

## Powers and Abilities

After Urano's death, Marah inherited his title of Oathbreaker, signifying her defiance of the prince rather than her having originally sworn fealty. Vargas is able to detect this on sight through unknown means. In addition, she wears a band of metal from Urano's armor on her left arm. It can expand to cover her whole arm and shoulder and block sword strikes in both expanded and dormant states.

After this point, she possesses supernatural strength, which she attributes to her armor. She is able to jump several stories demonstrating that the increased strength is not limited to her armored arm. She knocks out Fairy guards with a punch from the gauntlet which is something that later requires a musket shot to the head in order to concuss a Fairy. She also drives Jake's broken display sword through Dragul's plate armor, estimated to be at least 1/4 inch thick.

She wields the Lonesome Ocean (which is a bone spear twice her height) and is able to recall it to her hand until it is sundered in her duel with Dragul. This recall has considerable force, able to pull the spear through several stone walls.

After becoming a Drudge Angel, she gains the ability to fly and is able to carry the New Abolisher, who is taller and broader than a normal Fairy. She heals Auntie Naga from a wound Benloo describes as "big enough to walk into", although this stabilizes her rather than fully healing her.
