Marie Korbel (the current Skullgirl) is a deeply tragic character. Her image is built on the contrast between her initial childhood purity and a devastating dark force. Marie's Character · Exceptional willpower: She possesses a unique mind. Marie is the only Skullgirl who can partially suppress the malevolent will of the Skull Heart. · Obsession with justice: Her personality is entirely driven by the idea of retribution. She does not see herself as a villain. Marie genuinely believes she is cleansing the world of filth. · Compassion for the innocent: Unlike previous Skullgirls, Marie actively tries to protect ordinary citizens. She directs all her rage solely at the guilty. · Devotion and love: The main anchor of her humanity remains her deep attachment to her best friend, Patricia (Peacock). Memories of her help Marie hold back the madness. Why did she become this way? (Causes and Motivation) [Slavery and torture in the orphanage] ──> [Severe trauma and a thirst for salvation] │ [
