Characteristics

Physical features

Marion is a tiefling with golden eyes, ruby red skin and dark red hair, from which her illustrious title is derived. She is graceful and alluring with a charming and delightful nature about her.  

Mental traits

Marion is warm, jovial and motherly. Whilst truly astonishing, her appeal is said to in fact come from her wisdom and her intelligence, paired with her open heart and the comforting aura she exudes. She is also very perceptive and pays a lot of attention to detail, from both the shallower aspects of appearance and the more profound one of understanding human emotion and being able to read it. Marion fiercely loves Jester and cherishes her above everything. However, she harbors deep sorrow and regret regarding Jester's father, whom she still has nostalgic feelings for.   Marion has a fear of the outdoors known as agoraphobia. Jester is aware of Marion's condition.  

History

Marion had a romance with a blue-skinned man named Babenon Dosal. According to her description, he came from an island, had dark hair, and wore lots of rings. Babenon and Marion planned to get married and Marion was going to leave Nicodranas with him. He left to set up his house for them, but then never came back. It was unclear whether or not he knew that Marion was pregnant with their daughter, Jester Lavorre, at the time. Marion told Jester many loving stories about him when she was a child.   Marion raised Jester in the Lavish Chateau, with the help of Bluud and the rest of the staff, while continuing her work as a courtesan. Jester grew to believe that due to her agoraphobia, Marion kept herself busy so that she had a good reason to never leave the Chateau. Marion assured a young Jester that they will go outside and play when Jester is older. They both knew it was a lie but it comforted them. In the meantime, Marion asked Jester to draw what she saw outside and to show Marion when she was finished.
