Editing Character:Mari (section)

=The Truth=

Simply put, Mari used to be a very elite Scourge-caste Infernal in the full favor of her patron, Adorjan. Which meant that Adorjan loved her.

Very, very much.

It was bad enough that Adorjan tried to cram extra demons into Mari's head in an attempt to deepen the connection between the two of them. Then Shrike summoned one of the demons that was forcibly implanted in Mari's mind... and the resulting occult backlash dragged the Green Sun Princess to Creation, dealing significant damage to her mind, body and soul in the process. Mari has forgotten almost all her mental and social skills as a result, and her mental age has regressed to that of a ten-year old. However, she has retained the greater portion of her physical abilities, and her body-bonded infernal battle armor made the journey with her. In the right hands (those of Shrike, for instance), Mari can still do a lot of damage... and recently, her memories have begun to return to her slowly...

However, the Unquestionable speak a different version of this. They say that Adorjan was disappointed by her first and most favored Hushbringer's rage against the world that had birthed her. She loved her daughter, and because Adorjan loved her, she shattered her daughter's mind and substituted her in place of a summoned demon. With the mind of a child, uncluttered by past grudges and prejudices, it was her hope that her beloved Mari would learn to truly love Creation... and one day, when she regains her mind, that Mari will pay forward what was done to her...
