Younger sister of
Ranavalona. Generally, preferences will apply universally.
Marinne is several years younger than Rana, and born of a different and unknown father, most likely as an unexpected incident related to her mother's wicked pastimes. While permitted the Colsixreel name, the lavish treatment and affection afforded her sister never seemed to make its way to young Marinne. Never fully mastering the bits of sorcery that seemed to coarse naturally through her mother and sister, she was treated quite like a second-class creature throughout her young life.
Largely keeping to herself, Marinne did eventually discover special skills that linked her with her family's blood. While not able to conjure the impressive and flashy magics her mother and sister seemed to cast about effortlessly, she did seem to possess a link to elemental energies. Water, earth, wind and flame would graciously accept her will, provided she entreated them earnestly, and after a time she began to summon and commune with small spirits as well. These spirits of the elements are not complex, and not exactly sentient either, but more seem like companions or pets of some sort to the girl. While quiet and introspective, she became what many would consider to be a rather sweet child. To her sister, however, she would become the first of many toys.
Years of watching her mother cruelly use her citizens for her own dark pleasures fostered an eagerness to do the same for Rana, and her young and magically inept sister happened to be the most available. Rana treated little Marinne like a servant, and delighted in terrorizing her and breaking her young will. Such scenes as Rana slipping into Marinne's room and finding her enjoying a rather one-sided conversation with a little vaguely dog-shaped water spirit would end with Rana rather brutally stepping on that little spirit and having Marinne lick the elemental water from her shoe under threat of her long hair being introduced to a conjured burst of acid.
After a time, the threats grew to be unnecessary. Marinne lived her life at, and often beneath Rana's feet. The cruel adolescent took particular joy in stepping on her younger sister, humiliating her and demanding service and worship for her feet and footwear, not to mention the continued abuse of Mari's little spirit friends.
A couple brief years later, their mother was overthrown. With Rana being smuggled out by her mother's trusted infernal servants, Marinne was left to the conquering rebels. After a period of examination and interrogation, and a few very difficult years in orphanage care, her elemental talents were recognized and she was conscripted for military work in a regiment of adepts. During this time her elemental mastery developed quite a bit, allowing her some measure of power along with the aid of her spirit friends. In addition, she also managed to forge some degree of friendships with others, though she's still mostly prone to keeping to herself.
The specter of Marinne's abuse still haunts her being, however. For years of her childhood, the person closest to her showed her sisterly affection by grinding the young girl under her heel. She's developed an obsession with women's stockings and shoes, on occasion swiping some article of footwear and touching it to her face, or placing a few adoring kisses upon the object... all the while feeling terribly alone. The closest she's come to a true romantic relationship was a brief period of time she bunked with a towering warrior woman who caught her nuzzling a pair of her discarded socks. Gripped with fear and shame, Mari allowed herself to be undressed and touched, and felt her first waves of sexual pleasure with the woman, grinding against her thigh and lapping at her toes in a way her bunkmate considered rather cute.
The two enjoyed each other for a brief time, but her life as a warrior pulled Marinne's companion away when she was reassigned. The disappointment drove her from her military life and she's withdrawn so her old solitary self now, wandering about with an elemental companion here and there, surviving by performing simple tasks with her magics for pay in little spots around the countryside.
Notes: Mari remains alone for now, though she's tremendously susceptible to a woman's affection, and of course any semblance of dominant footplay. Though her story focuses mostly on this aspect, she can be considered for other things, though I have a hard time imagining her as anything but prey except for in very odd situations. I do tend to be more open-minded as prey but continue to have strong preferences along the same lines as described in
Ranavalona's profile.
