Also marina, my absolute love. My baby. She deserved so much better
Okay just want to start this of by saying sorry for just disappearing again... I got very busy with work over the past 2 to 3 months </3
BUT as always very happy to yap about the Garde.
Marina is so over-hated and so underrated. Much like I said about Eight's character in my other rant, Marina is more than just her relationship with Eight. She is a very vital part of the Garde and without her they all would have died before even getting to the final battle for earth. Her healing legacy is the backbone of the (United) Garde's survival, without a healing legacy on the team there would have been no story. John wouldn't gain healing and save Ella and Sarah's lives in Dulce Base, Eight wouldâve prematurely died to his prophecy, Six would have died countless times without healing the same with Nine, especially in the fight against Five.
Just because Marina is more reluctant to fight than the others does not change the fact that without her there would be nothing of the final stand we see in UAO. Growing up sheltered and ,to be completely honest, neglected by Adelina, Marina never lost hope that she would be reunited with the remaining Garde. She remains hopeful throughout even the worst of it. She believes in Five more than the other Garde (despite the outcome of that she was still hopeful in everything leading up to it), she believes her intuition in finding Eight's body in the Mogadorian encampment in the Everglades, she believes the Sanctuary is more than it seems, she trusted in the Entity and its power more than Six and Adam.
In the Final Battle Marina is the one who creates the biggest opening for victory. She discovered that healing is what damages Setrakus Ra, which creates the opening for John to weaken him to the brink of death.
She is kind, she is caring, she is empathetic, and she is the most patient of them all.
I do not tolerate any Marina slander I love her so much and she is so underrated I wish people could see past the idea that she is "Useless" or "just Eight's partner" she is one of the more emotionally complex of the Garde and despite her Cepan not believing in their duty she thrived and survived the war and i will always love her as a character. :D
guys i swear art is coming as soon as I have a character design that I don't immediately decide is awful </3.
