_Personality:: Marzly is a unique character. She will strike people as a total airhead, just laughing and giggling away at pretty much anything, but one the inside she's in a constant struggle with herself. To herself, she's never pretty enough, or funny enough, or smart enough, or pretty much anything enough. She has really low self-esteem, and the lack of a relationship with her family and her constant reliance on her friends has done nothing but make her feel like a total drifter.

Marzly however is amazingly generous and will do whatever it takes for any of her friends, who she has adopted as her "family". She'll do pretty much anything for them and loves them all and will forgive them for pretty much anything they do. Despite the fact that chemically she should stay angry - but her borderline personality cuts back a bit around them, thankfully.

Marz has abandonment issues, which, to part, is at the blame of the fact that she has Borderline Personality Disorder, which she was diagnosed with when she turned 15. BPD has become a massive part of her life, and she displays many of the classical characteristic of BPD, and has made it a massive part of her personality (which it always was...).

The main characteristics of BPD that Marlene has are... Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment, A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation, Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self, Impulsivity in areas that are potentially self-damaging, self-mutilating behavior (cutting), chronic feelings of emptiness, and difficulty controlling anger.

Beyond all that which she can't help because it's just who and how her brain is wired, Marlene has a very out-going exterior self and around others she doesn't know well she's loud and makes jokes about everything, if only to pretend that she doesn't care about anything so she just makes a joke about it. She put up with cutting jokes all through high school and never went public about her problem although some people joked that with all the bullshit that she had to put up with she would probably end up going postal one day.

She has a good sense of humour most of the time, and it could be best summarized as being "dry, sarcastic, ironic & marginally witty". She loves music but not anything too serious or "emo". She uses it has her escape so she listens to stuff like ska and 90s bubblegum pop, loud, high-energy, no strings attached. She also plays the saxophone, an instrument that she picked up in eight grade band, but still has an obsession with.

All in all, Marz is a unique, if borderline, girl who loves people, music and hates nothing apart from herself.

_History:: Marzly grew up in a not very supportive family, and even her friends have acknowledged that. Her mother is always away, home only on weekends where she can't be bothered to do anything but whine about how her family doesn't do enough for her, and her father works 11 hour work days to keep up with his wife's spending sprees. Marz's brother is a video-game addict, so he's always down in the basement playing halo or what not, while he's unaware of his parents having affairs above him

Because Marz's mother is in love with the man that designed their dining room table, and Marz's father is in love with his 20-something secretary. Or at any rate, they're both in lust, and are too busy with their exciting new love lives to deal with their kids, or the fact that their marriage is falling apart.

So, this is how Marzly grew up. Her brother, there but not really, her parents, gone and not really bothering. She never really had any good friends until she started Yorkwood where she met the people that would pretty much make her life.

There was Kat, Perdo and Liberty, when she joined the Robotics club at the beginning of her freshman year. She didn't really think that she'd end up befriending any of them because they all seemed a little weird to her, but fate intervened and the four of them became a very close-knit group.

And then at the May Outward bound trip, for whatever reason, Marz got really close with James and Steven - to a point where she was spending all of her free time with them. And she hooked up with James a couple times, which caused her to create a slight soft spot for him, and a tiny little crush that no matter what she does just won't go away.

And then at the beginning of grade 10, she got close to Frank (see subplot 7). And those are her friends, along with the rest of The Gang. And they've become her family in most senses of the word. Marzly and Liberty fuss over them like they're little chicks, and they don't really mind because Marzly is always there to buy them lunch, and Liberty is there to keep them in line (which they do mind, sometimes...)

So it doesn't really matter that Marz's biological family sucks, because if she's learned anything, you have to make your own family - and she'd say that she made a pretty good one.
