History[]
Silverwing[]
After meeting Shade on an island after he was blown away from his colony, Marina accompanied Shade on his quest to reunite with his lost colony, whilst evading the Cannibal Bats Goth and Throbb. She slammed into Goth to rescue Shade during the thunderhead chase, and her band was ripped off of her arm by Goth. After escaping the thunderhead and defeating Goth temporarily and Throbb (who was disintegrated by a lightning striking the bands he stole from bats), she was adopted by the Silverwing colony and discussed the bands with Frieda, preparing to continue her adventure with Shade to find his lost father, Cassiel Silverwing.
Sunwing[]
After deciding to stay with Shade's colony she adventured to a fake forest, similar to the one Goth and Throbb were in. Marina also became closer to Chinook, spending time and flirting with him. She later explains to Ariel that she tortured Shade because she was mad at him and tried to make him jealous. She tried to rescue Shade from the Vampyrum Spectrum in South America.
Marina Character Bios (from the Silverwing season set DVD)
At the end of the book, Chinook asked her to be his mate. She politely declined, instead asking Shade to be her mate, who gladly accepted.
Firewing[]
Despite having a major role in Silverwing and Sunwing, Marina has only a minor role in Firewing.
Marina gave birth to a young bat named Griffin. After discovering that Griffin had possessively tried to steal fire, she and other bat mothers tried to help Luna when she was wounded after catching on fire. Unfortunately, Luna died from her injuries. Griffin ended up in the Underworld, alive. Shortly after the young bat's death, Marina is soon reunited with Shade, who returns to Tree Heaven. Shade initially becomes worried, upon seeing her with a sprained wing which was due to an earthquake, but he is quickly told of the situation with Luna and his son, Griffin. Shade decides to enter the Underworld in order to save their son. Marina quickly offers to come along, but Shade insist she stays due to her injured wing. Marina is opposed to the idea and doesn’t want to worry for both her mate and son, and Shade reassures her before leaving for the Underworld. This is the last time the two of them speak.
Griffin and Luna return to Tree Heaven, both being alive. Marina rejoiced when she was reunited with her son and Luna, and heartbroken when she learned that Shade sacrificed himself to save them. Afterwards, Griffin lived with his mother there for the rest of his life along with Luna.
