Marinne is the only daughter of a previously unnotable family. Hailing from a small Fall by the surface of Neptune, Marinne was brought to court when her mother became an ambassador to the Albino Palace. She brought with her a small entourage of local girls to serve as her companions.
She was in the family's remora tower travelling to one of the companion Falls of the Albino Palace when a rogue anomality exploded the shell. Despite having no previous aptitude for magic, Marinne felt a powerful presence come over her. She accepted the aid. Her eyes glowing and the mark of Neptune searing itself into her chest, Marinne manifested great powers and was able to hold the tower together and propel them through the seas towards the closest fall.
With the scar from her mantle on her chest, Marinne went from a nobody to a frontrunner in the search for the next Empress of Neptune.

Interesting... if a mantle is a Keystone granting some of their power to someone else, then Marinne having manifested such a mantle could point to someone else as the Keystone as much as it points to her. The plot thickens!
