Appearance[]
Marla wears a skin tight black dress with a large collar that reaches outwards above eye height. Her dress blends into a ghostly, smoke-like appearance. She has white hair that covers her right eye and also dons a mask over her mouth.
Personality[]
Marla is shown to have an adoration towards her leading commander Adam Holograd. An adoration which at times appears to border on obsession, or perhaps personal feelings beyond their position as fellow members of the Holograd Army, as hinted by her being displeased at Edna garnering Adam's attention on more than one occasion. When performing her duties she takes on a cold serious demeanour fitting of the bearer of the Phantom Asterisk.
Biography[]
Early life[]
Born under the given name Maia, Marla was the daughter of a family that harboured a deep secret. Informed by her father that their family was charged with a special mission they carried from the shadows that aided their kingdom, allowing it to prosper even if this meant spilling blood, for it was for the "greater good". Marla was not against this, rather she felt glad feeling a bond with her ancestors who's legacy she was meant to carry.
Eventually the Kingdom of Savalon started suffering hardships and struggled to keep its nation afloat. With the appointment of Bernard Alfard they had seen fit to discard Marla's family and murdered her father. Consumed with hatred, Marla sought vengeance for discarding their family who had proudly served them for so long and the kingdom's failure to protect her father. From there on she vowed to train in the arts of deception, abandon her family given name and seek her vengeance from the shadows as a phantom.
