## History

### Early life

Young, Marella met Noctus and later had his children. It is known for a fact that her middle child and second son, Soren fell out of the nest when he was still a hatchling. She also allowed her husband tell the kids stories of the Guardians. However, she may have told him not to tell them stories before bed during the day time.

### Search for the children

While her husband Noctus goes out in th outside, Marella stayed at home with her children and Mrs. P. After her husband's story, Marella tells Noctus that's enough stories for one night and says that it's off to bed.

Later, her sons Soren and Kludd both take Branching lessons from their father. She comes outside to hear her sons fighting, and tells them that they should stop yelling at each other softly and tells Noctus that it's time for bed. Soren asked his parents if they could go on the hunt with them, but both Noctus and Marella told them that they were not ready. Marella asks Noctus if they should worry for Soren because he is a dreamer, but Noctus is worried for both their sons. When Noctus and Marella returned from their hunting, they found Kludd and Soren gone and Eglantine the only child there. The two were worried sick for their sons, and even had searched for them. Unknown to Marella and Noctus, their children's nursemaid, Mrs. Plithivier went out searching for the children themselves. Also unbeknownst to them, Kludd had joined the Pure Ones and Soren had went in search of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole, and Eglantine was later kidnapped.

### Reuniting with Soren and Eglantine

After the Battle of St Aegolius, Marella and Noctus were reunited with their son Soren and their daughter, Eglantine, while also losing Kludd. She and her husband watched as Soren and his friends were accepted as Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Unknown to Marella, and her family, her son Kludd survived the fire and presumably will became the next Metal Beak
