Marie

"Strike fast, strike strong, and strike at any opening you see. If you feel weak, or even hesitate for a second, you will lose your chance and may even lose your life. This leaves no room for error, nor any room for cowards. That is your job apart of the Mainguard. If you are not ready in the slightest, leave now, if you are follow me and the Vanguard to battle!'"

-Marie's first speech guiding the Mainguards from Forlorn Hope to Battle.

Marie is the audacious and charismatic Mainguard and the Vice Commander of Forlorn Hope. She is mostly seen in the frontline planning meetings and helping to lead the Mainguard out on the Frontlines. She also focuses her free time enjoying the SAO environment, because to her "the realistic nature is to die for".

Appearance
Marie is a woman with a fair body and short wavy brown hair. Her guild outfit is rather fancy and yet alluring, wearing a tight black dress shirt with a red jacket on top that has golden shoulder pads and golden chains running down the arms. She wears a black short skirt with it and black tights under. When she is not wearing her guild uniform, she is usually seen wearing a black dress, with black being her favorite outfit to wear.

Her eyes are the most unusual and popping feature she has. They are brown with a red tint to it, but when in the dark her eyes glow red, something she says "happens in real life, so it probably carried on".

Personality
Marie is usually charismatic and happy around everyone. She is the one to encourage others to do what's best, and cheers them up whenever they are down. This is crucial for everyone, since a death game takes a huge toll on the human psych. Somehow though it doesn't affect her. Marie has always been a cheerful person inside Sword art online. Her cheerfulness is what attracts more and more people to join up with her. Though, nothing about her attitude or personality from the real world is known about her.

History
Marie refuses to tell any details about her real life. When she first joined SAO though, she was estatic and happy, more so than the other people. When it was announced that they were in a death game, it didn't phase her as much as it did to others. She was a bit shy but that all went away when she joined Kenneth Valden on his journey to clear the game. She became much more confident and strong enough to fight with him.

Plot
/*to be filled as the roleplay progresses*/

Weapon
Rapier: A thin sword mostly used to do quick stabs rather than slashes and hacks. This sword suits Marie much more than a katana or any other sword. Apparently she was a fencer back in the real world but she doesn't talk about it.


 * Five Star Combo: Marie quickly runs up on the opponent, and stabs them once on each arm, each leg, and the head, making a star. With each strike made the stronger the next strike is, making the strike to the head the strongest. For bigger opponents, she focuses it on the head.

Incredible Speed Skill: Marie is known for her incredible speed and reflexes, she can find the smallest of openings, run up to the opponent and strike them down faster than most can.

Trivia
Limit's Character~

Kenneth Valden
Marie and Kenneth are fairly close. They met pretty early in the game and have stuck around with each other ever since. Kenneth inspired Marie to be more confident and fight with more grace and bravery. Marie values Kenneth deeply, and tries to protect him in any way she can, even though he really doesn't need it. Kenneth inspires the whole guild, but doesn't keep the guild members in check as much as he could. Marie is the one to keep the members of the guild from slacking off when they are away from the frontlines. Kenneth keeps a strict eye on them when they are out on the frontlines though.
