And on that journey, she met the others.

Lena

She met Lena when she tried to ask for her a map, Lena in this au is a German scholar, who decided to explore the other lands for inspiration for her inventions before she decides to settle in America as they have more advance recourses, she joins with Marsy cause she still wants to keep travelling until she finds a more proper place to kick in.

She and Lena are the closest having a sisterly bond like no other.

Søren

Second she met, Søren, who in this au is a bounty hunter that was once an immigrant looking for his American father, but became a bounty hunter when the odds were against him in trying to find a proper job, he was also on the way to take down and look for Jhon's culprit, so he decided to join them, and mostly cause he likes the lil german braniac, and Marsy needed a teacher in learning how to shoot her gun.

Despite the difference in their age, her being older than him, she still treats him like her teacher in the way of gunslinging. And now her good friend.

Kazuki

The third was Kuro/Kazuki, in this au they met him after Kazuki helped them escape and survived a shoot out with some of the members the bandits in a town, to which was the group they were looking for, the Black Skulls. Kazuki was mad (at the Black Skulls) that they trashed the Saloon that he kinda ran and worked at, and stole some money as well, leading to him to join them so he could get his own revenge. In this au, he ran away from Japan to America to live a new life.

Kazuki is a different case, as after the journey, he separated from the group after multiple disagreements in their different views and morale, making him leave.

Sully

Lastly, they met Sully, who was once part of the Black Skulls, after years of living the life of crime and outlaw with them to survive in the screwed up world they live in it came to bite him back when he tried to escape them with his family, leading to their deaths, and Sully, for a moment. Wanting to get back at them and right the things he has wronged, he joined the team.

Sully became her deputy after the journey along with Søren. However, she is much closer to Sully, seeing him as someone who she can relate with, both of them having lost their loved ones.

(She was collecting Strays LMAO-)

Jun

Jun in this au is a "daughter" of a rich Japanese family named "Watanabe" who came to America to expand their businesses there, Jun initially came to Pinecrest with his father's right-hand-man to sell and introduce the products of his country, via food and tea house, but the two left to go back to the main city, leaving Jun to run and take care if the business but with some help from Marsy, Japanese immigrants. Or some of the jobless townsfolk.

Jun and Marsy are really good friends, as Marsy was impressed at how Jun was able to carry himself while running two businesses, plus she likes to know more about his culture. (Note: she doesn't know that he is a man. She thinks Jun is a woman like the others)
