Marie was a blind juggler conscripted into the service of Carnival L'Morai and the Puppetmaster, whereupon she met Hermos. They led a rebellion against the Puppetmaster for a time until Marie became marked by the brand of the carnival's master, signifying she had been chosen to become the carnival's new leader. Hermos noticed this and broke her neck, informing his fellow rebels that she had called the order for the rebels to escape L'Morai. This cemented her image as a self-sacrificing hero and martyr to the cause of the carnival Troupers.[1]

Detailed History

Before coming to Carnival l'Morai, Marie resided in the City of l'Morai with her father, a cobblernamed Francis Martinique. She was known back then as Yvette Martinique. Unlike her father, Yvette showed a loathing toward the Carnival freaks and performers typical of the City's people. She became involved in the hunting of freaks who abandoned the carnival to live illegally and secretly in the City. At just over 18 years old with the command of afew soldiers, she uncovered a group of such fugitives marked for death. However, in so doing, she unwittingly outed her father as the one who gave them shelter. For his crime, Francis was taken away. After discovering the truth, Marie went to free her father, but they were discovered. Francis lost his life fighting the City's soldiers in a feint to convince them he was using Yvette as a hostage and forced accomplice.<name="CoF p. 270-">Carnival of Fear p. 270-"</ref>

Despite Frances' ambitions to ensure Yvette's life and freedom, she was taken into custody and judged guilty by the Council of l'Morai according to the twisted Statutes of l'Morai. The Statutes prescribed the horrid punishment known as the living death for Yvette's crime, which involved the stripping of her memories and condemnation to the Carnival as a freak. The Cityfolk blinded Yvette and replaced her identity with that of Marie, the Blind Juggler. Marie lived for a time believing she had grown up in Carnival l'Morai and that she had lost her sight to the Fever. At the Carnival, she met and befriended Hermos the Man-Giant.
