Marlin

Amid the brutal environment of a terrorist training institution, Marlin stood apart as the only girl who truly connected with Yuji Kazami on a personal level. Naturally warm and fundamentally opposed to violence, she offered him comfort and solace whenever he was wounded. During their harrowing graduation trial, both were subjected to drug-induced compulsion and forced to harm each other—an ordeal that left Marlin overcome with grief and remorse. The news of her subsequent death cast a long psychological shadow over Yuji, and her identity would later prove pivotal to a clandestine cloning operation.
