![]() ![]() Graceful Ladies Like Purple: Her season 1 outfit is primarily purple in color.Good Parents: For all her flaws, she is a caring mother for the Katharon kids.In Season 2, Marina sheds some of this naivety, still holding to her absolute pacifist ways but now acknowledging that sometimes fighting and bloodshed are required, even if she could never even hold a gun to protect herself or the innocent children she looks after. Due to her political inexperienece, Marina consistently underestimates how warped people can be and how showing even genuine kindness rarely ever leads to a lasting peace or understanding. Friend to All Children: Spends most of Season Two taking care of war orphans.She takes care of meals for the children, Klaus and Shirin. Feminine Women Can Cook: As seen in season 2. ![]() Fallen Princess: In season 2, she loses her country when Ali burns it to the ground and spends most of the story as a refugee.Early in the movie, Setsuna and Lockon have to save her from a Corrupt Corporate Executive who doesn't want her investigating his exploitation of Azadistani laborers. Damsel in Distress: In season 2, the A-Laws take her in prison and Setsuna has to rescue her.Compressed Hair: During her world tour in season 1.Again, not a perfect deconstruction, since Lacus is not only far more self-confident than Marina is, but also has a far more influential position in her society from the start. She's very inspiring with a song she writes about peace, and Setsuna says what everyone in the audience is thinking, that she's a lot more competent as a singer/good will ambassador than as the leader of a country - and he meant it as a compliment. Also the Idol Singer princess character (think Lacus Clyne).It is not a perfect deconstruction by any means, as Marina doesn't have the same force of will as Relena and, thanks to her tendency to be very indecisive, can come across as weak and wishy-washy in her efforts, compared to Relena, who would stand firm even if she had a gun aimed at her head. She's what Relena Peacecraft would be if portrayed in a more cynical (towards pacifism) series, and holy shit does she get put through the wringer.She is an introverted and often quite gloomy/melancholy girl with dark hair. Aloof Dark-Haired Girl: Downplayed on the "aloof" part.All-Loving Hero: She's kind and compassionate, almost to a fault, and has no hostile intentions towards anyone.This can easily come across as a little naive, but it's also understandable due to her background as an inhabitant of a constantly war-torn country who just wants all the bloodshed to end. Actual Pacifist: Hates weapons so much that she can't even fathom using a gun for self-defense.Voiced by Ayumi Tsunematsu (Japanese), Paula Lindberg (English), Maryke Hendrikse (English, A Wakening of the Trailblazer)
