Marlene is bright and intelligent and more mature than most children her age. She's quiet and shy at first, but takes a liking to Aerith, calling her "flower lady". Despite her age, Marlene is trusted behind a bar. She is caring and thoughtful and dearly loves her father, wishing he was around more, a feeling he reciprocates. Cute, smart, clever. Loyal, but won't be manipulated. Friends with Tifa. Barret's adopted daughter. Perceptive, and somewhat shy.
