Marian Swann
Marian Cypresius Swann
An attractive and wealthy woman and supposed heir to the V.E.N.U.S. Tactical corporation in Neo City.
She crafty, charismatic, and tactically brilliant.
Physical Description
Identifying Characteristics
Marian is easily distinguished by her short stature, her missing arm, and her signature purple hair. She's difficult to miss or to mistake for anyone else.
Specialized Equipment
Hardlight Prosthesis (Disabled)
When disabled, this prothesis appears as nothing more than a golden disc installed at the stump of Marian's missing arm (just above where the elbow would be). On enabling, an aperture opens in the disc, allowing the internal mechanism to project a fully functional hard-light arm.
While pretty to look at, the mechanisms are fragile and need to be recharged for up to four hours every day.

Between semesters at University, Marian happily interned at Arachne Fashions in an effort to gain a hands on learning experience with her personal passion.
TigerFox Fashions

V.E.N.U.S. Tactical
Marian picked up work at her mother's company after the fall of her own in an effort to make up for the capital investments her mother lost. It was during this time she suffered from the accident that would cost her her arm. This job lasted until her decision to run away.
Morality & Philosophy
While difficult to define outright, Marian's moral philosophy is definitely centered on a clear idea of right and wrong with a strong belief in taking care of those in less fortunate positions. She exudes a strong sense of kindness and compassion, to the point of being considered something of a bleeding heart.
Personality Characteristics
Vices & Personality flaws
