Marin is an extremely shy dinosaur who will put on a tough front to keep her shyness hidden, and she does that relatively well, but once you get to know her, she is very loyal and caring to her friends.

When she was born, she was more of the ugly duckling of her three other siblings. She stuck out like a sore thumb in comparison to her two brothers and her other sister. She was very shy and hesitant to speak because of this.

While her brothers constantly teased and taunted her because of her apple-like skin patterns, this made her even more nervous to leave their cave, but her sister was always there to comfort her. Her sister told their mother, who chastised her brothers, and they never did that again.

But only a week later, a horrible lightning strike made a forest fire spread through very quickly. She and her sister got separated from the rest of her family, and they tried to find them, but it was simply too dangerous and they had to just find a way out of the forest. After about a day of waiting, they finally were able to look for their family.

Unfortunately, they soon found the carcasses of them. They were a bit burned, but clear bite marks and cuts were all over her mother's body and her neck. The sisters were heartbroken, but they had to be left on their own. A few more months passed by, but a herbivore stampede separated her and her sister from each other.

Marin desperately searched for her for years after. Even when she was an adult, she still had not found hide nor scale of her sister. She never gave up hope that she would find her sister since she had never seen any signs that her sister was dead, but it had been years and still she had not found her.

Still, to this day, she still wants to find her sister, but she spends more time foraging and hunting, and each night she dreams of meeting her sister, happy and alive.

The scars on her side and over her eye came when she was ambushed by a pack of 5 Deinonychus. At first, she tried to get away and avoid conflict, but they pursued relentlessly, and soon realized that she couldn't be weak and feeble like when she was young. In that moment, she understood that it was be or be killed. So she turned and fought the pack bravely, mortally wounding their leader (whom later died), but she got cuts on her stomach and over her eye, which luckily was not damaged.

She found the skull necklace a year and a half after this fight. She hadn't seen this type of skull yet, so she had no clue what creature had that type skull. But she decided to wear it as a sort of threat display for any creature that even dared trying to fight her as since her Deinonychus pack battle, she'd became very, very skilled at hunting and attacking.
