HISTORY:
The Past -
Her beauty is timeless, her elegance that of a queen and her demeanor
every bit of a great lady. Her face is both innocent and seductive, with her
hypnotizing eyes and full red lips. With her refined features and quiet grace,
she attracted the attention of her husband and sire, Gaius who later became
Nicholas Giovanni. He was immediately enamored with her and even after she
turned him down again and again, he continued to woo her until finally she
accepted his attentions. She became his wife and his equal over two millennia
ago and despite his numerous affairs she has stayed with him. In the end, she
knows it is she who truly holds his heart and how can she fault him when she too
has shared another’s bed, though not nearly as many times as he has. There are
some though who believe that this lady is too good for the Ancient Kindred king.
She is the anchor of the Giovanni family and to Kindred society despite Gitanne’s
attempts to take that title. An intelligent watcher and thinker, Marie is the
one people confide in when they have a problem. Her knowledge of the world is
endless and her kindness knows no bounds. It is even rumored that she and Selene
have their own tete a tete once a week. She is fiercely protective of her family
and to wrong any member other clan is to harm Marie herself and that is
something that few have lived through after doing so. Marie will do everything
in her power to make sure that everyone she loves is well protected and that
includes hardening her heart when necessary.
She remains very close to all the members of her family especially her adopted
daughter, Grace. But she is also close to all of the Chimaera, especially Maeve
and a few mortals including her dear Mr. Gunn. An elegant queen to all who know
of her and her legends, she rules her clan well. Marie remains the epitome of
refinement and style. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that she is a true
lady.
For a long time she had remained in the shadows, enjoying the quiet life she has
chosen for herself and family. She was quite content in watching instead of
participating though from time to time she would emerge either to throw one of
her famous parties or to catch up so to speak. That time however has come to an
end. The portends tell of many things and for one of the first times in her
life, Marie is frightened. Frightened for the mortal world and of the thing that
is frighteningly close to breaking through. Unlike her husband, she will do what
she has to keep this world safe, even if it means her destruction.
