ABILITIES
Hydrokinesis | Marianne can draw the water up from the earth, plants, and bodies of water if they are near her. She cannot use the water to make a tsunami for that would use too much energy and would probably leave her dead. She can use the water to clean wounds however and as a source of hydration if water is running low. She can also use it on a small scale, should there be enough water around her, to drown her enemies. The more water she uses, the more energy is expelled and she'd need to rest.
Hind Sight | Her hind-sight ability allows her to physically touch an item such as a table and see whatever happened to it last. This doesn't give her an exact time or date for the event since if someone touched a bottle three years ago and no one moved it by the time she touched it, she'd see that event from years ago and not really know the time frame. This extends to houses and other places of dwelling where she can enter the place and if she touches the wall, she can get the general 'feeling' of what happen last inside of it and very blurry snap shots.

APPEARANCE
Markings
A second tattoo resides on the upper part of her right chest of two birds sitting together on a branch. One bird is bigger than the other and seems to hug the smaller bird with one of its wings. Luca's sports the words 'Never look back' scrawled in fancy lettering on her right forearm that she often looks at to keep her moving forward. Behind her right ear is a fancy heart key. The heart itself forms the name 'Kyle'. On her back the verse:
'Away with us he's going,
The solemn eyed
He'll hear no more the lowing
Of the calves on the warm hillside
Or the kettle on the hob
Sing peace into his breast
Or see the brown mice bob
Round and round the oatmeal-chest.
For he comes, the human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
From a world more full of weeping than he can understand.' from the Stolen Child by W.B. Yeats.

╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮
"We all have sob stories. Why are you burdening me with yours?"
╰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯
Feisty | Caring | Independent | Extroverted
Marianne has lived on her own and she makes a point to let people know that. She doesn't need help and hates it when people try to pity her or help her if she doesn't ask for help. She likes to problem solve on her own first so that she doesn't end up dependent on others. She will stick up for herself, her family, and her friends and isn't afraid of a fist fight and has no problem getting in peoples faces to protect herself and the ones she loves. She also is not one to cry and whine about her situation. If life gives her lemons, she'll chuck them right back and keep on trucking.
And lastly, Luca has a soft spot for children and those much younger than her. She will try to protect them and just wants to see them smile. She loves children and will do what she can to help them. They are truly her weak spot.
LIKES
Lighters | She doesn't smoke, but she likes the designs on the lighters and likes to collect them. And you never know when they could become useful.
Movies She loves to watch all sorts of movies to pass the time |
DISLIKES
cigarettes | It is a habit that does more harm to those around the smoker.
Judgmental people | She hates it when people assume things about others or judge them without knowing the full story.
FEARS
rats | Their long tails and long front teeth just freak her out.
Falling | She has a fear of falling from a great height to her death.

HISTORY
When she was 16 she met a man older than her and the two started dating in secret since Marianne's parents would never approve of the scruffy man. A year later, Marianne skipped town with her 'forever' and it wasn't long before she found herself knocked up. Unfortunately, things had only gone down hill from there. She found that her lover really wasn't the sweet gentleman that he claimed to be before she ran off with him and he turned mentally abusive. Towards the end of the pregnancy, he escalated to physical abuse. And still, Marianne found herself dependent on the man so she couldn't run away. She was heavily pregnant after all and never finished high school. Who would hire or help a 'slut' like her? And she was ashamed to go back to her parents and wasn't altogether sure they'd accept her and not turn her out on the street. So, she stayed, and her son Kyle was born.
Marianne stayed with her abusive lover for a year and just swallowed it all down feeling hopeless. She often cut herself just to feel a small measure of control in a world that was spiraling downwards. It was a very dark time for her and maybe she would have eventually killed herself, but then, things changed. Her boy friend turned his abuse on their one year old son and something inside Marianne snapped. The bastard could do whatever he wanted to her but once she saw her son at his mercy, she knew things couldn't continue this way. She hadn't realized until that moment just how much her son did mean to her and she was determined to give him a chance at a good life. She didn't want Kyle to grow up thinking this relationship was normal. So, when her 'hubby' was out at work, she picked up her kid and fled to the police station. After detailing the abuse, the man was arrested and she skipped town. She figured the best place for her to go and start over was somewhere small and quiet and peaceful; a place where neighbors helped each other and knew each others names. She kept traveling till she reached Mullen, Nebraska and got a shitty little house and a job.
It was a hard start, but she managed to make it work by pulling herself up and deciding that she didn't give a shit about anyone or anything beside herself and her son. She got her first tattoo then; the rope and feather to remind herself how close she had been to giving up and that Kyle, her feather, had been her lifeline. Similarly, she got her bird tattoo on her chest of a mother watching over her son. And to celebrate her freedom from the abusive relationship, she had the message 'Never look back added to her arm'. She could only move forward from her mistakes and it is now her mantra in any bad situation.
Marianne watched her son grow and then ended up 'adopting' Kyle's friend Aru into her family as well since the two boys were always together. She liked watching them interact and Aru was a sweet kid. She was even thrilled when the two ended up a couple though she was stern about the 'wait till he is legal' rule for any physical relationship since Kyle was two years older than Aru. She wanted them to be sure of what they wanted instead of letting hormones rule the brain as had been the case for her. She supported both with their future decisions and thought her son's idea about translating his art into body ink would be a great idea. She even had him enroll at several big institutes out of town for art and programming since Kyle seemed to have an affinity for that.
Unfortunately, it never came to pass. Kyle had a art show out of town and she had given him the a-ok to go without her so he could grow in his independence. He had been gone for three days and was due to return but on his way back, he had been hit by a truck and his car was shoved off the cliff just before he got home. Marianne was devastated when she heard the news. She had done so much for her child and now, her little one was gone. For a moment, she considered suicide again. What had been the point of all of this if her pride and joy was going to be taken away just before he could really blossom? She couldn't go through with it though. Aru needed her support so she decided that she would keep on trucking and honor her son's memory by living for him and helping her 'adopted' son on his journey since he was very sheltered and was going to need a helping hand. And who knows what the cards had in store for he next? The only thing she could do is keep moving forward and never look back.
