Appearance
Marielle is 6' 4" tall. Her body is averagely shaped; she is not particularly thin, nor does she have excess flab or fat. She possesses a mostly straight figure, though she does have some curves around her hips and chest. Her skin is light, though not pale; her cheeks often possess a light blush, indicative of vigor and frequent excitement.
She wears a light layer of red lipstick, black eyeshadow, and some mascara when she is able to put on makeup. Her eyes are a bold blue; her hair is brown with some lighter streaks, and long, falling past her shoulders. Gold clasps adorn her ears.
Marielle wears a blue bliaud, long grey pants, white gloves, and tall black boots. The boots have a slight heel. She frequently carries around a tome of some kind; some of these books contain sigils and symbols, indicating that they are grimoires of an arcanist. Around her waist, she wears a belt with satchels attached to it. These are used to carry supplies, including a notepad and writing utensils.
History
Early Life/Pre-Calamity
Marielle was born to the Valeriants, a minor house of Ishgard. Her life was a mostly comfortable one; while she did not live without a worry, she was far from poor. She spent much of her life learning to become a proper lady, as well as attempting scholarly pursuits.
Initially, she was of a mind to many Ishgardians. She looked down upon those lower than her in status, and subscribed heavily to the prejudices Ishgard instilled in its citizens.
Post-Calamity
After the Calamity, Marielle dedicated as much of her time to Ishgard as possible. Though she still had little idea of what actually happened to the world, she knew that it was in chaos, and chose to break from the norm and offer her support to as many people as possible.
After the Gates of Judgement were opened, and outsiders were allowed entry into Ishgard, Marielle chose to leave. Petitioning her parents that learning more of the world outside Ishgard would further the cause of not only the city, but their family, she left the city in pursuit of knowledge. She still visits Ishgard as often as she can, knowing that she must report back and aid those in homeland.
In current times, she can be found exploring Eorzea, especially the ruins of ancient civilizations. When she is in the cities, she can often be found in libraries and places of learning, doing even more research.
Personality
Marielle tends to be an upbeat and positive person. She frequently has a smile on her face, and tries to treat every day as a good one, even when things go wrong. Whether intentional or not, she tends to keep up an appearance of formality; her voice is clear, her speech is well-thought out, and she will stand straight and proper whenever possible. However, she is somewhat naïve; she is easily caught off-guard, embarrassed, and stutters and stammers if pressed or flustered.
Highly inquisitive, she will go to great lengths to discover new things. She is very dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, and will further it at almost any cost. When she finds something that she wants to study, she will dedicate as much of her attention to it as possible, often going many days focusing on the topic and writing down everything she learns.
Combat
Marielle is not an experienced combatant. However, she is proficient in some forms of spellcasting; arcanima is the style of magic she uses most often, though she does have some training in thaumaturgy. She primarily employs restorative magicks, and is far more inclined to stay to the back of a fight and heal her more stalwart allies.
She does have very limited training in single-handed swords, but she would only use one as a last resort. She does not enjoy violence, and would not kill unless her life- or the lives of people she loves- are in danger.
Affiliations
Marielle has limited connections, outside of her family in Ishgard.
