Marge

**Marge** is one of the female characters of *Dark Moon: The Blood Altar*. She was the principal of Vamfield House where Heli and his friends spent most of their childhood under her tight surveillance. In Episode 27, it was also revealed that she was the tutor of Selen, the princess of an Ancient Kingdom who had recently reincarnated into Sooha.

## Personality & Background

According to Heli and his friends, Marge was a very strict and meticulous person who forbade the boys from ever leaving Vamfield House. This included constantly keeping a watchful eye on them. She is also shown to be extremely knowledgeable and resourceful; she taught the boys sword-fighting and educated them.

Prior to the events of Dark Moon: The Blood Altar, Marge was the tutor of Selen, a princess of an Ancient Kingdom. Not only did she educate the princess, she also raised her as well. When the Ancient Kingdom was besieged by Dardan (who became an incomplete vampire after ingesting the remainder of Vargr’s blood to acquire power) and his minions, Marge was transfused with Selen’s blood and became a Vampire Lord in an attempt to protect the Kingdom. Before Selen’s death, she requests Marge to grant one last favour which was; to find the seven knights whom she will share her powers with and then have them teleported to a distant future. She asks Marge to look after the knights until she is reincarnated.

Marge fulfilled Selen’s final favour by spending the next few centuries searching for the boys. She eventually found each and every one of them in different orphanages across the world during the nineteenth-century. She gathered them all one-by-one and brought them back to Vamfield House where she raised them for a century until they escaped.

120 years later, she found the boys at Decelis Academy after sensing the princess’ power waves at the school. It was then when she revealed the real reason why she ‘confined’ them at Vamfield House. She explained that she had no other choice, since it was the only way to protect them from Dardan who wants them dead. Marge answers the boys’ questions by revealing that the seven of them are actually the only Vampire Lords of an Ancient Kingdom who were blessed with the Kingdom’s ancient powers. And why they differ from the lower-tier vampires who are incomplete vampires created by Dardan.

She also informs the boys of Selen’s reincarnation and tries to convince the boys to let her take Sooha somewhere safe, while they get rid of Dardan who’s ultimate goal is to capture the princess and steal the essence of her powers. This is because Dardan is recovering his powers at a remarkable pace (after sensing Selen's waves from Sooha), and more vampires will begin to follow him as he gets stronger. However, the boys still do not trust her and they also suspect that she could be secretly working for Dardan. Marge then points out that *if* she was working for Dardan, she would have already taken the princess instead of explaining everything to them. She also tells the boys that if Sooha falls into Dardan's hands and he actually succeeds in accomplishing his goal, the world will become a miserable place.

In Episode 31, she tried to talk to Sooha privately in order to warn her of the danger she is in. However, before she could explain everything, they were captured by Dardan’s minions. Marge was imprisoned and tortured by Dardan due to her extensive knowledge about the 'Blood Altar'.

## Appearance

Marge is a somewhat large woman with blonde hair and light brown eyes.

In the present day, Marge wears a large brown double-breasted trench coat dress, accompanied with a beige and red scarf with a few light and grey lines overlapping each other. She also wears a dark brown brimmed hat with this outfit. Her hair is a short wavy bob just past her ears with side-parting and she wears large oval-shaped gold rimmed glasses.

In the Ancient Kingdom, Marge wears a large navy over dress with a dark brown and amber pattern beneath it, and a white collared blouse that is buttoned up to her neck with white cuffs. Her hair was presumably long at that time as it was shown in a rolled up bun with a side-parting, and she wears large oval-shaped gold rimmed glasses with a gold chain on the glasses’ arms.

## Relationships

### Selen

Marge was extremely loyal to Selen and was her most trusted tutor who had raised her as well. This is shown when she shielded Selen from Dardan in an attempt to protect her, and when she tried to urge her to head to the ‘Blood Altar’ to acquire the powers the late Queen left her in order to stop Dardan. However, Selen refused to sacrifice her people just to make herself Queen, and instead, asked Marge to grant her one last favour. Marge was instructed by Selen to look for the seven knights whom she will teleport to the distant future after sharing her powers with them, and to look after the knights until she is reincarnated.

She fulfilled Selen’s final favour and spent the next few centuries searching for the seven knights. Upon learning that Selen had reincarnated into a human girl named Sooha, Marge travelled to Decelis Academy to look for her and to bring her somewhere safe to prevent Dardan from finding her. However, when she tried to warn Sooha of the danger she is in, the pair were abducted by Dardan’s minions before she could even explain.

When the ceremony began, Marge bit her tongue to protect herself and Sooha which enraged Dardan. She later saves Sooha again when Dardan was using her to coercive the boys. Due to Dardan forgetting about her because of his desperation to get rid of the boys, Marge managed to sneak up from behind Dardan and knocked him aside. This caught him completely off guard and caused him to release Sooha.

### Heli

Despite his grudge towards Marge for confining them in Vamfield House, Heli still treated her with respect. When Marge told Heli and his friends the truth of their backgrounds and why they are vampires, Heli was initially dubious until she told them that Selen had recently reincarnated. However, Heli and his friends still did not entirely trust her due to the fact that she could be secretly working for Dardan. Marge pointed out that if she was working for Dardan, she would have already taken Sooha and be delivering her to Dardan instead explaining everything to them.

In Episode 32, Heli and his friends returned to Vamfield House where it was confirmed that Marge had been telling the truth after she and Sooha were kidnapped by Dardan’s minions.

### Dardan

Marge constantly scolded Dardan for entering the Royal Library in the castle as freely as he pleased. Dardan told her that he only wants power to claim Selen for himself, but Marge advised him against it. She also tells him that she’s heard rumours that he has been conducting shady experiments and tries to talk him out of it, but Dardan retaliates by choking her as he accuses her of being a classist. Marge shouted for the guards, prompting him to retreat, and Marge decides that she must hide the important documents to prevent Dardan from doing anything outrageous.

When Dardan and his army of lower-tier vampires infiltrated the castle, he did not hesitate to attack Marge who shielded Selen from him. She miraculously survived her injuries and tried to urge Selen to head to the ‘Blood Altar’, but was attacked again by Dardan, though Selen managed to teleport her to outside the castle safely.

When Dardan kidnapped both her and Sooha, he imprisoned Marge instead of killing her because of her vast knowledge of the Ancient Powers. Marge told Dardan that the only reason why the Royal family were blessed with Shaman powers had nothing to do with their status. It was because they demonstrated their decency and preparedness to use those powers for good. She also tells him that a greedy, selfish, depraved and sadistic individual like himself who uses and hurts people just to get what he wants will *never* be entitled to those powers. It was then when Dardan recalled that Marge had been transfused with Selen's blood and forcibly drank Marge's blood to acquire the princess' blood. However, he still did not kill her for he needed her knowledge on the 'Blood Altar'.

When the ceremony began, Dardan tried to force Marge to tell him how to carry out the ceremony and threatened to kill Sooha if she tried anything funny. He was enraged when he found out that Marge had bit her tongue to prevent him from achieving his goal and threw her aside. He soon forgot all about Marge due to his desperation to coercive the boys using Sooha. This enabled Marge to sneak up from behind to knock him aside, which caught him completely off guard and caused him to release Sooha. Dardan was enraged by her interference and attempted to attack her in retaliation, but Marge was saved by Jakah (along with Sooha) who used his reawakened abilities to snatch them away from Dardan.
