Profile
Marielle works in the space between what the evidence says happened and what someone needs everyone to believe happened. She trained in both psychology and pathology, which means she can sit across a table from a living suspect in the afternoon and stand over the body they’re accused of leaving behind that same night, and some weeks she does exactly that.
She’s sharp and a little sarcastic and painfully observant, the kind of person who notices you switched hands on your coffee cup when the conversation changed. She grew up in a military house, still goes to Sunday dinner with her dad, and knows how to put someone on the floor if she has to. What she can’t explain yet is the echo, the way certain words come back to her half a beat late when nobody else in the room hears a thing.
Associated Personnel
Tessa Sinclair
Attorney, best friend since kindergarten, and the only person who gets to call her Mar Mar without consequences.

Personality
- Observant. She’ll catch the thing you didn’t say and then wait, very patiently, to see if you get around to saying it.
- Sarcastic. Mostly with people who earned it, sometimes with people who just happened to be standing there.
- Curious. If something doesn’t fit she can’t leave it alone, even when leaving it alone would be the smart thing to do.
- Loyal. Her circle is small and hard to get into, and she will go to war for anyone inside it.
- Independent. Asking for help is technically an option. She just doesn’t love it.
- Controlled. Calm on the outside every single time, and only Tessa knows what that costs her.
