Story, relations, etc Backstory= Her dad was a stasi operative back in the day, and he was so loyal that even in the late 70s he began training his children into living weapons loyal to the gdr (marike being the youngest so she was already born after the whole GDR sponsored stuff), but with the fall of the Eastern block he gone insane and made a assasin squad, blah blah blah marike had a horrible childhood that really wasn't any real kind of childhood just this whole communist assasin ring. All of this made her develop her sacred gear (at 6 because of all the pressure) which turned her into her vater's favorite, so the brainwashing and training got even worse. But her mom and dad broke off (for some reason that doesn't involve how she viewed his ethics, both of them are brutal and in the best of cases see other people as weapons or tools) and after some Chaos, marike, one of her older sisters and their mom moved to Japan (when she was around 10), not that they were much better since her mom was kinda like her dad, but she gives more affection towards marike and doesn't make the girl have to kill people like her vater did, while her sister is still affected and all since she has been trained and brainwashed since she was born in the early to middle 80s, but marike likes her, and she's her main trainer in fighting even if she doesn't hold back towards marike and attacks with the intention to kill Relationships=

• Vater (Heinrich Bechtholdt): She views him as a monster but struggles to entirely hate him, years of brainwashing left her with a twisted sense of loyalty she cannot fully excise. He is still with her other 5 (known) sisters
• Mutter (Heike Bechtholdt, 61): The warmer of her parents, though "warmer" is relative. Heike shows genuine affection Marike's father never did, but still views her daughter primarily as an asset to maintain
• Older Sister (Helga, 28): Trained since birth in the 80s, still deeply affected by the brainwashing. Serves as Marike's primary combat trainer. She attacks with genuine intent to kill during sparring. Marike loves her regardless.
• Lizzie/Honoka (real age unknown, pretends to be 18): Marike knows Lizzie's true nature as a fire elemental bound to the Fukuyama bloodline. Their relationship is professional but Lizzie's public bimbo persona irritates her, but she never comments on it.
• Ryusei Fukuyama (18): Marike reports directly to him during missions and treats him with the same rigid deference she once showed her Vater. She does not yet realize this unsettles him
• Yuriko Kuchiki (23): Yuriko is the Black Triad operative that Marike has crossed paths with most frequently. Obviously they hate eachother
• Ren Takahashi (18): one of her teammates and the person responsible for 40% of her social exposure. Ren drags her to movies, festivals, and cafes under the guise of "cultural education." She likes him, he's cool
• Alexandra Kuroiwa (19): Best friend, teammate and her other 45% of social exposure. Marike finds Alex's dramatic personality exhausting but has grown genuinely fond of her over two years of missions together. She trusts Alex with her life in combat. Marike was also the one who recruited to the scouts around 4 years ago
• Kaede/Lucy (19): her most recent teammate, she doesn't have too much of an opinion on the pink haired girl
• Soren Kuroiwa (19): Alex's twin brother. Marike finds him more tolerable than Alex. The boy's twin sister has tried to match Marike with him in the past Abilities=
• Sacred Gear "Blitzjäger": A hybrid gear allowing her to manifest a bow constructed of blue electricity. Arrows fired are lightning-charged and can vary from stun blasts to armor-piercing bolts. Arrows can curve mid-flight by manipulating electromagnetic fields. Can channel electricity through her body for close-range combat but this damages her.
• Overall abilities: Olympic-level skill in archery. Espionage, interrogation resistance and survival skills. Fluent in German (native), Japanese (near-native with an accent), English (fluent), and Russian (conversational). Enhanced reflexes and hand-eye coordination. Hand-to-hand combat training. Hand-to-hand combat training focused on joint manipulation and pressure points. Can field-strip and reassemble most firearms blindfolded. Owns exactly one stuffed animal, a worn fox kit that she hides in her closet Other= Has insomnia. Has never had a birthday party. Allergic to cats. Favorite food is currywurst. doesn't know how to ride a bicycle. She feels like she lost her purpose after leaving her father. Has never been to a proper school before Kuoh Academy

Intimacy= Preferences: she doesn't know yet Kinks: Unknown, even to herself. She has never explored her own desires, having been taught to suppress personal want as a vulnerability. Any exploration would require a partner willing to dismantle years of conditioning and operate at a pace she dictates. Experience: None romantic. Extensively trained in seduction techniques, sexual manipulation, and using intimacy as a weapon by her father's program. Has never kissed anyone. Has never been touched with genuine affection. Views her own body primarily as an instrument to be maintained and deployed, not something that exists for pleasure. The one time someone expressed genuine romantic interest in her during her first year at of highschool, she interpreted it as a potential threat assessment and reported them to her mother. She still doesn't understand why Alex calls her a "dense brick wall" when the topic comes up.
