(-)

She’s a girl who gives off the impression of a very bubbly but dim-witted child. Marinette is endlessly upbeat, cheerful, and smiling in the face of the good and bad. It just wouldn’t do to show an ugly side of herself, or ruin her face with fuss or a frown, now would it? Oh no… Instead she looks to spin things in a positive way, always. Sometimes crossing a line to be delusional and insensitive with the way she acts obliviously to any negative event or feeling.

Marinette is a colourful crayon in the box, but not the brightest bulb. Her head ends up in the clouds if somethings become to complicated or uninteresting for her to follow. Being a bit spoiled and working in the performing industry, she’s superficial, vainly thinks highly of her appearances, and tends to act selfishly. Once she has a foot in the door with an opportunity, connection, or friend she likes she tends to get a little possessive and protective ^\_\_^

Marinette will put on a facade of a demure girl when it suits her, but she doesn’t have a shy bone in her body. She craves and loves attention, loves talking to people, loves nosing into their business to learn more about them and muse about their lives and happenings. She’s particularly fond of framing the people she meets as idealized fairytale characters ^p^

## Background

In a modest and average home, she might have had a modest and average upbringing if her Papa wasn’t so insistent on spoiling his only little girl with all the means he had available. She wasn’t inherently materialistic, but with the loving and close relationship she had with her dad she easily grew to love any way he showed he cared! Attention, gifts, cute clothes.. Nevermind that she was oblivious to how hard he was working; that he wanted to see his girl happy and dazzling put her over the moon. And to return that happiness, when he lamented that he didn’t want to see his little girl grow up so fast Marinette took it to heart and maintained her child-like attitude and interests.

He’d often told her fairytales and fantastical stories, many he made up with her as the main character, so she continued to be into them and seek that Star Role as she grew up, following her interests to more stories with happy endings, opportunities to act out the fantasy and show off to her Papa. She got her start in school plays; The love of performing and dazzling developed from there, leading to talent shows, pageants, small acting and modeling roles, the rare obscure commercial spot… As she dabbled in the performing industry and saw many rejections, much competition for the same spot in the limelight she wanted, many places where showing any ugly side could mean getting replaced and kicked to the curb, she learned to cling to the big smile and bubbly can-do attitude.

When she graduated high school, she landed a steady gig working as a Magician’s lead assistant. Flashy and fun! She loved performing for an audience and th..the a..mazed (?) look on her Papa’s face when the nice man sawed her in half! (She knew he’d love it)

When she gets a mysterious message to come to New York, she doesn’t think twice about going along. Things like this are how all fantastic tales start, and it just wouldn’t do to pass it up! Blowing a kiss bye-bye to her busy Papa and promising to bring him back something nice, she sets off...

{tldr; average background but her dad spoiled her with gifts and attention, she maintains a childlike attitude to avoid growing up too fast for him, develops in interest in performing that leads her to dabbling in the performing industry, small-time acting and modeling bits here and there before she lands a gig as a Magician’s Assistant.}
