Marianne is the only child and sole survivor of the Eckdart family of mages. Talented spellcasters that tried to openly oppose Estoria's former tyrant. To make an example of them, he confined them to their home, his men surrounded it, and set it ablaze. He had his men kill anyone who tried to escape. Against all odds, when the army had left, a survivor was found among the ruins. Perhaps shielded in whatever magic her parents could offer, Marianne barely survived, with most of her body beyond saving. In was here, among burnt timbers and ash, that a stranger pulled her from the rubble.
He built her a new body, created new magical technologies to sustain her. Marianne was the magnum opus of the House of Lights medical wards. Marianne made friends in the House of Lights, convincing Flandre to save a girl similar to her in age. And helping rescue a child the two girls found by the side of the road. With her new family, Marianne grew, and wanted to repay her saviour. She decided she'd try and make it so he could go outside without trouble, so she started training to become a detective, and investigator. She proposed a scheme that, if successful, would not only make it acceptable for Flandre to go out without persecution, but also to make the city more lively at night so he would have more to do.
The results have been... mixed, so far.
Cool, calm, collected, these are all the things Marianne would like people to think she is. In truth, she's impulsive, callous, and obsessive. She likes being in control, but when that control is shattered, she falls apart. Either losing all willpower, or overreacting dramatically.
When Marianne cares about someone, it's to a dangerous degree. She tends to decide things for others, and acts on those decisions without asking for permission.
Marianne's body contains the second arcane engine, and the first to be implanted in a person. It has infinite storage like the successive models, but lacks magical generation of its own. Instead, it is filled by the host's own latent magical power. Marianne comes from two potent magical bloodlines, and as such has a natural affinity for magic vast enough to power the machine and build up sizable reserves. However, her habit of working for days on end without sleep tends to drain the engine and leave her with little in the way of reserves to fall back upon.
