Marilyn Lyons was born in Dublin, Ireland to single mother Natalia. She was told stories that the first few years of her life, she was raised by her mother alone in a quaint little town just north of Dublin. When Mari was one and a half, her mother married the local barkeep and the three lived in quiet peace. They welcomed twin daughters, Sylvia and Veronika. Mari grew up enjoying art, music, and travelling to the cliffs to watch the sea. When Mari was thirteen, she became interested in martial arts. At the cliffs, she met a few fighters who practiced Systema. They agreed to train her in their arenas and as payment, she worked for them as an assistant in their tournaments. As she got into the Ireland Fighting Circuit, she noticed photos of a man she never met. Two years later, after strange letters and photos from an unknown person, she asked her mother who the man was.
She was told the man was her birthfather, Christopher Williams. Her mother described him to Mari as a kind man with a cruel and dangerous family. They were in a seven month relationship, however due to Johanna's expectation of the Williams family, Natalia ran away. She never told Chris she was pregnant, to protect Mari. Of course with the letters as evidence, Natalia knew that Johanna was aware of Mari's existence. Mari's mother told her to ignore the letters for as long as she can. Her mother didn't explain much more.
Two more years passed. The letters and photos stopped. She did as her mother requested and let it go. She continued her odd life of fighting and fine art. At 18, she won her first tournament. She was blissful, and happy. All until she came home, and discovered her mother and step-father's dead bodies. Marilyn found her two sisters in the closets, crying. Stunned, and in shock, she quietly called the police to inform them of the murder. She set the phone down, and walked into her parent's bedroom. She found another letter written in fresh ink. There was money inside an envelope next to it.
Dearest Marilyn
I know you must be confused. You have every right to be. But now is the time to think with a straight head. I never told you about my past, because I never wanted you or your sisters to be affected by it, but I must tell you the truth. When I was your age, I was an assassin. I was in a ring led by Johanna Williams, your grandmother. I met and fell in love with your father, However when I became pregnant with you, I couldn't let you be in that world. I've seen the lengths that woman would go to turn you, and your cousin, into killing machines. Your father is a wonderful, yet misguided man. I have tracked him down using my old contacts, and found him working in Japan. Enclosed with this envelope is the money you'll need to travel and stay there for atleast a few months. If you find this letter before I have the chance to tell you in person, then Johanna has finally found me. Please take your sisters to grandma Lyons, and know that I love you very much.
Marilyn did as her mother requested and brought her sisters to her grandmother's. She waited three months, before finally booking a plane ticket and going to Tokyo....
Quite the beauty, Marilyn was always simply described as 'strongly resembling her Aunt'. She never knew which Aunt, as she never knew much about her extended family. She stands at 5'7", and has a slender, toned body. She was always into fine art, especially old paintings. She has a collection of them in her parent's home. A quiet girl, she usually doesn't speak up unless needed. She doesn't like to waste her breath, and wants to make every moment worth something. She's a fierce fighter, and competitor. After training for six years under master fighters, Marilyn is confident in her ability to not just defend herself, but defend others aswell. At the moment, she grieves her parents, and also fears what comes ahead. Her father was described as a kind, and good person. However, his family terrified her.
