Character
Personality

She is fiercely protective of her ocean home and its inhabitants. However, Marina is really a shy, gentle girl with a warm, empathetic heart.

However, out of the water, Marina is quite shy and becomes a fish out of water around others. Her shyness around how mermaids have rarely an contact with other beings. She finds it hard to make friends. She also hates large crowds. When she makes friends, she will show them great kindness and loyalty.

Appearance
Marina is one of the most beautiful girls at Ever After High. She has knee-length, wavy hair of varying shades of coral red-pink with streaks of rosy coral red. Her skin is pearly, smooth as sea glass with a shimmering sheen and tanned with naturally rosy cheeks and light coral pink lips. She has large eyes with deep turquoise irises. Around her eyes are small, gold-tinted birthmarks shaped like starfish and sand dollars which sparkle with salt crystals. She has a larger sand dollar pattern on her right hand.
To attend Ever After High, the sea witch gave Marina temporary legs. When wet, her legs change into a shimmering ocean blue-green tail covered in iridescent scales with lacy, sheer fins on her hips and large, swept back flukes. Her scales are different shades and mixtures of sea blue, turquoise, teal, green-blue and aquamarine. The colours deepen as they reach the fins and lighten as they reach the edge of the flukes.
Fairy Tale
Marina's story is The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. It is the story of a mermaid who rescues a prince from drowning and falls in love with him. To find true love, she trades her wonderful voice to the sea witch from a pair of legs. However, these legs were cursed and every step on land felt like walking on broken glass. The witch said that if the prince married the mermaid, she would become a true human. But if he married someone else, the day after his wedding, she would turn into sea foam. The mermaid charmed the prince and they became close friends. Sadly, the prince fell in love with the princess who found him on the beach and they were married. The mermaid's sisters gave their beautiful hair to the sea witch in exchange for an enchanted knife. If the mermaid plunged it into the prince's heart, she would become a mermaid again. The mermaid refused to hurt him and as the sun appeared, she dissolved into sea foam.
How Marina Came...
As the enchanted sea foam fell into the sea, the Little Mermaid's love changed the bubbles into six beautiful mermaids. Her sisters took their little nieces back into the depths and raised them along with their father, Neptune. Yet they all feared that the youngest child, Marina, would be doomed to follow her mother's path.

Notes
- Like a siren, her voice can enchant those who hear it.
- Above water, her voice sounds human but below the waves, her voice becomes more watery and musical like whale song.
- Sea creatures are drawn to mermaids.
- Marina's scream can instantly shatter glass. Its handy when trying to get the attention of an angry crowd, not great when you're watching a scary film.
- Marina fears cats. Not tigers nor lions. Just house cats with a taste for seafood.
- She hates it when people think her story is like the Disney version.
