history
Before there was Marin, there was her mother and father. Her mother was a fairly pretty woman from Hingashi. Lin grew up in the rice paddies of Yanxia and had the calloused hands to prove it. Though her clothes may have been dirtied and her face blemished by the sun, it did not deter a band of thieves from kidnapping the small village's women and sending them overseas. Many ended up in Ul'dah, some in Limsa. Lin, however, fled as far and as fast as she could until she ended up in the cold of Coerthas. It was there she met Elseux, a knight stationed in Camp Dragonhead. He allowed her to stay with him, but only until she found her strength to move on. Over time, the pair grew to love each other and they bore a child: Marin Reed.
Marin's life has unfortunately been a father-less one, despite the love her parents shared for one another. Halflings are greatly frowned upon by Ishgardian standards, and Marin was never allowed into the highly reclusive settlement. Her father was stationed back in Ishgard as punishment, and the family was separated. Little contact was kept between them.
A somewhat comfortable life was created in the lush forests of Gridania. Her mother began to work on a ranch, and Marin eventually learned how to care for and raise chocobos. The old farmer eventually grew too weak to tend to his land, so he passed down his ranch, Golden Feathers to Lin and Marin. Marin continued to help her mother out as much as she was able, but she often found her head in the clouds. There was so much more to life, and Marin wanted to experience it. And so she packed up a bag and her good, blue-feathered friend Qalli and set out to unknown lands.
