Marie
If Carlotta is clearly the oldest sister based on attitude, then Marie is the baby of the family. Impulsive, excitable, and affectionate, she is the heart of the Shadow Knights and the most humane, with a deep well of empathy and understanding, even for their enemies. Her familiarity with pop culture, quick jokes, and boundless curiosity may cause problems on adventures, but go a long way toward keeping her sisters sane and grounded the rest of the time. In return, they make up for their little sister's lackluster combat skills.
Mar's attitude has paid off not only in a large network of friends but also a reputation among her enemies: most consider her a pest they can go easy on, while some even have a strange affection for the childlike warrior. Mar herself is happy just to meet new people, try new things, and go to bed every night with a full belly.
Lagging behind her sisters developmentally as Gukseon Moon helped shepherd and train their interests, Mar was increasingly raised by television and later the internet. Playing online since childhood, she has developed into a savant at building gaming rigs and cracking computer security to download games and music. Her long history on the internet provides her with a vast circle of virtual friends, and Mar is by far the most like a contemporary teenager as a result—moody, irreverent, and plugged in to news and trends.
Physical Description
Special abilities
Marie has developed a combat style every bit as chaotic and frustrating as her personality, built around distracting, tripping, misleading, and otherwise rendering enemies’ best attacks pointless. While she doesn’t hit very hard, her antics give her sisters the chance to wind up for stronger blows—particularly Lucy—or escape in the chaos. While her sisters consider their animalistic traits handy, Mar is particularly in touch with her senses, relying heavily on her sense of smell to identify threats, sniff out clues, and assist her in cooking.
Apparel & Accessories
Marie’s weapon of choice is the ji pang e, a simple, curved bamboo cane. While it doesn’t hit hard, it is a popular weapon in hapkido for the variety of options it provides in subduing an opponent, and the stunts it opens up suit Marie just fine—particularly if they mean not having to hurt someone too badly.
