Mareena

## Background

### 1994 - 2005: Mareena

Mareena doesn't know much about her childhood other than what her mother told her than eventually Queen Mera. By the time she was three, her dad had already abandoned both her & her mother. He told her mom that he felt he wasn't ready to raise a child so he left, believing it to be the better option.

Though raised by a single mother, Mareena never struggled as her mom Eldoris was a good friend of Princess Mera of Xebel. When Mareena was nine, her "aunt" Mera became Queen of Atlantis after marrying King Orin. The wedding was quite extravagant & Mareena even participated in it.

When Mareena reached the age of ten, she was asked by Queen Mera to serve as her Royal Attendant as she once had to Queen Atlanna. Mareena couldn't think of a better role so her & her mother moved to the capital, Poseidonis. As the Royal Attendant, she brought great honor & prestige to her her family. Along with her new job, she also began taking classes as the Conservatory of Sorcery to advance her proficiency in sorcery & with Mera as the her teacher, it was no doubt she would advance in no time.

After serving as a Royal Attendant for about eight months, Poseidonis was hit with a great earthquake. Many would perish during the disaster, including Mareena’s mother. Mareena would be the one to find her after running to her study & finding her crushed under rocks. As a close family friend of the royal family, Mera decided that her & Orin would adopt her as she had already become a member of their family. After the adoption, she officially became Princess Mareena of Atlantis & took the land name of Marie Curry after her adopted parents whenever she visited with them.
