Marian « Thread Started on May 5, 2007, 9:00am »
Name: Marian
Age: 21
Appearance (A picture if possible): Marian is medium build and height, has long brown hair. It was just started to grow back again after her punishment from The Sheriff. She has pleasant features and a pale complexion. As she is a noble she dresses quite neatly with her hair mostly up. Of course this could all change in an instant……
As The Night Watchman
Personality:
Marian can appear cold and unfeeling at first glance. She is incredibly guarded. This dates back to when she had her heart broken by Robin when he left her for the Holy Land. She is stubborn and it is quite a task to change her mind once she has it made up. She is independent and strong, very able to look after herself and even her Father.
Marian is deeply affected when others are harmed. Those are the times when her guard falls and she would risk her life for anyone in need. She is not like the other women of her status and does not understand why she can’t have an equal say because she’s female.
Celeb model: Lucy Griffiths
Strengths: Looking after people, fighting (The night watchmen), being independent and driven.
An in between: I would say Robin is both her strength and her weakness. He often gives her the motivation she needs but she can become quite irritated by him. Of course there is the whole long thing too…..
Weaknesses: Insecurities (being 21 and still unmarried), the fact that she is a women! Seeing people hurt.
History:
Marian grew up in Nottingham, her Father as The Sheriff. This of course had obvious and not so obvious disadvantages for her. She met Robin at a young age and they ended up falling for each other. They were betrothed to each other when she was still a girl and she had high hopes for their future together. When Marian was approximately 16 years old, he decided to leave her so he could fight for King and Country in the Holy Lands. At the time she could not protest as it was an honourable to do and she knew how important it was to him. Even so, she was hurt that he could leave her. She waited for his return and one day gave up….
Marian was very ill for a long time in Robin’s absence. She heard about her maid’s daughter being sick and crept out into the night to help her. Ever since this she has vowed to help the needy and the poor. She created a new persona that the people called The Night watchman. This way she could fight for what she believed in. Five years went by and Robin returned home much to her dismay. She acted distant and hid her feelings from him, but secretly found herself falling for him all over again. Unfortunately Guy of Gisborne vowed to take her hand in marriage, blackmailing her with her Father’s life. Days before the wedding, she crept into his manor and stole his fortune, getting stabbed on the way out. Robin rescued her and Djaq healed her back to her normal self, even coming back after she ’died’. During this time, her and Robin admitted their feelings for each other and he admitted his regret at leaving her. Desperately sad, she arrived at her wedding to Guy. It was not long before it was interrupted by Much who saved in the day in the process. Running from her wedding, she and Robin shared a kiss before taking off to save her father. With both their lives still intact, Marian is still under immense pressure…..
Role-Play example:
Marian sat in the silence of the night, her eyes passed her window sill and out into the forest. It was strange had things had changed so much with just one moment. Just one second could change your life. There was something that bothered her….
She shifted and carried herself to her wardrobe, her Night watchman outfit, burnt and taken care off by the fire. Marian had believed that she had no escape, that she was doomed to marry a man she did not love. To be married to Guy, she could not take this secret life with her. Now it was gone, she found that she wanted it back. She could not give in now. There were still people in Nottingham that needed her help that could not find it themselves. There was something left though.
Marian stepped forward, making sure the shutters were tightly closed. In her hand she found her sword, almost as if she had no idea how it got there. She remembered the day that her Father had first given it to her. He saw everything coming before it happened. It was a gift to her for the purpose of keeping her safe; to give her choices. Blinking back fear, she raised it. She was not about to give in yet…….
